University College Dublin (UCD) library website for many years supported its users by providing subject support to over 50 different disciplines, through the development of webpages containing subject lists of databases, useful websites and other related materials. These lists were created and using HTML and had to be individually maintained and developed. This presentation looks at what happened when UCD Library evaluated the effectiveness and sustainability of these resources and how Libguides were used to evolve and manage and extend subject support. This presentation will also look at how Libguides are being used to extend subject support beyond the library website and potential plans for further development.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar o projeto de implantação do processo HPS (Hybrid Pelletized Sinter) na planta de sinterização existente da Belgo Arcelor em João Monlevade, Minas Gerais. Este processo híbrido envolvendo pelotização e sinterização permite que uma gama de minérios finos impróprios para a sinterização convencional possa ser aproveitada, gerando grande economia para as empresas e melhoria ao meio ambiente, com a redução dos rejeitos nas barragens de contenção das mineradoras. O HPS foi desenvolvido pela NKK e a primeira planta a utilizar esta tecnologia foi a sinterização da usina de Fukuyama no Japão. A tecnologia consiste em passar a mistura primária por discos rotativos para aglomeração das partículas e formação das pelotas que em seguida são recobertas por uma camada de coque e alimentadas na máquina de sinter. Para possibilitar a implantação do HPS foram incluídos novos equipamentos, painéis elétricos e instrumentos na área da sinterização. Coube à IHM o desenvolvimento do projeto elétrico, projeto de instalação, projeto de rede, especificações dos equipamentos e materiais elétricos, desenvolvimento dos aplicativos, fornecimento dos painéis elétricos e equipamentos de controle e processo, montagem elétrica, supervisão e Start up. Um dos principais desafios técnico e gerencial para o desenvolvimento e implantação do sistema foi a interação contínua com o fornecedor do processo devido à distância e as barreiras culturais e idiomáticas. Também pesou o ineditismo da tecnologia no país e a introdução na Belgo Arcelor de CCM´s inteligentes e equipamentos de diversos fornecedores interligados em rede DeviceNet.

MODERNIZAÇÃO DA SINTERIZAÇÃO DA BELGO ARCELOR - USINA MONLEVADEIHM Engenharia
O objetivo do projeto de modernização da sinterização foi integrar todas as áreas da planta em único sistema de controle e supervisão. Ele se caracteriza por um projeto de grande porte cujo escopo inclui o projeto e a montagem elétrica e mecânica, desenvolvimento dos aplicativos e fornecimento dos equipamentos de controle. Este trabalho visa apresentar as soluções implantadas no projeto destacando o desenvolvimento, estratégias de migração e tecnologia implementada. Ao final da implantação do projeto 13 controladores estarão interligados em rede Ethernet/IP, processando um total de mais de 3000 pontos de E/S. O processo exige um mínimo de interferência na produção, o que requer aplicação de estratégias que reduzam o tempo de paradas e até mesmo elimine a necessidade de que elas aconteçam. A inclusão de áreas como dosagem, máquina de sínter e transporte de sínter no novo sistema exigiu uma mudança estrutural no sistema de supervisão em função do número de controladores na rede. Foi adotada a arquitetura cliente/servidor onde apenas um servidor de I/O acessa os controladores e compartilha os dados com um servidor redundante e as estações de operação. Como resultado, obtém-se a centralização das informações nos servidores garantindo maior confiabilidade dos dados fornecidos para relatórios gerenciais e maior flexibilidade para instalação de novos clientes, além da otimização do tráfego na rede. As melhorias dos controles, das informações de diagnóstico do sistema de supervisão e da confiabilidade dos novos equipamentos resultam em uma redução do número e do tempo de paradas e aumento da qualidade do produto.
SAA – SISTEMA MES PARA A INTEGRAÇÃO DA ACIARIAIHM Engenharia
Até a década de 90, os sistemas de automação eram isolados em ilhas independentes e distantes dos sistemas corporativos. Os primeiros sistemas de planejamento da manufatura (MRP) surgiram no início da década de 70 e eram responsáveis pelo planejamento de necessidades de materiais. Estes sistemas evoluíram para os sistemas MRPII nos 20 anos seguintes, sendo substituídos pelos chamados sistemas ERPs. A partir de então, surgiram os sistemas MES, com o objetivo de suprir o grande espaço que existia entre os sistemas corporativos e os sistemas de automação. Como evolução destes sistemas hoje existem os atuais e incipientes sistemas colaborativos, com o objetivo de integrar os ambientes de negócios, de produção, da cadeia de valores e de ciclo de vida dos produtos da empresa. Este trabalho apresenta um sistema MES, que aplicando conceitos da tecnologia da informação, transforma as demandas dos clientes em planos de execução, possibilitando ganhos de produtividade, competitividade e qualidade. Nas notas introdutórias, item 1, encontram-se descritas de forma sucinta a metodologia, objetivos e os resultados do sistema exposto. O item 2 apresenta com um nível maior de detalhes, os componentes físicos do sistema e os métodos utilizados na implantação do mesmo. Os resultados alcançados, as relações destes resultados com outros autores e a conclusão, são apresentados nos itens 3 e 4.
AUTOMAÇÃO DO MINERODUTO 2 DA SAMARCO MINERAÇÃOIHM Engenharia
O Mineroduto 2 da Samarco foi construído para atender ao Projeto da Terceira Pelotização que inclui uma nova Usina de Concentração em Germano-MG e uma terceira Usina de Pelotização em Ubu-ES. O Mineroduto, com 396km de extensão, interliga as duas plantas bombeando a polpa preparada em Germano. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar a arquitetura de automação para o sistema de controle e supervisão desenvolvido, interligado ao longo de toda extensão do mineroduto via fibra ótica. O sistema de controle é composto por CLPs ControlLogix nas estações de bombeamento e estações de válvulas e CLPs Micrologix para os pontos de monitoramento de pressão e proteção catódica, totalizando 19 CLPs. O sistema de supervisão foi desenvolvido sobre a suíte Wonderware IAS 3.0, abrangendo o software de supervisão InTouch 9.5 e o ambiente integrado ArchestrA IDE, e é composto por dois servidores de dados redundantes e nove estações de operação. O sistema de controle e supervisão é interligado via rede Ethernet em fibra ótica utilizando-se módulos multiplexadores (GE JungleMux) para voz, dados e vídeo. Dentre os resultados esperados para o projeto pode- se citar o automatismos das sequências operacionais, maior disponibilidade dos dados de processo em tempo real e histórico e maior facilidade para operação e detecção de falhas.
SISTEMAS DE OTIMIZAÇÃO, ESTUDO CONCEITUAL PARA A VIDA PRÁTICA DOS GESTORES BA...IHM Engenharia
O objetivo principal deste trabalho é sustentar a aplicabilidade dos sistemas de otimização nas áreas industriais através da visão do retorno sobre investimentos, ROI, e assim contribuir, tanto com os especialistas técnicos como com os gestores e analistas de investimentos, com a fomentação, esclarecimento e consolidação da base de conhecimento necessária para a correta discussão sobre o tema. A argumentação sustenta-se no cenário econômico e industrial criado pela atual demanda por aumento da produção e redução dos custos, bem como nas taxas de juros e custo de oportunidade e na pressão da concorrência decorrente da globalização da economia. A metodologia utilizada estabeleceu o desenvolvimento do trabalho em três etapas, sendo estas respectivamente: conceituação dos sistemas de otimização, identificação dos critérios de análise de investimentos pertinentes e proposição da hipótese de que os sistemas de otimização são financeiramente justificados pela avaliação através do ROI. Além da descrição dos conceitos necessários para o entendimento da argumentação, são apresentadas as correspondentes formulações matemáticas com o intuito exclusivo de viabilizar a implementação prática da hipótese proposta. Como conclusão, destaca- se a indicação da viabilidade da adoção de projetos de otimização, dado o atrativo ROI determinado pelos ganhos associados à produtividade, qualidade, flexibilidade e alinhamento com as diretrizes estratégicas da empresa e custos resultantes da baixa imobilização de capital em ativos fixos.

Library of the Future: Edinburgh Redevelopment. For the Network of Secretarie...John Scally
A look at the components of the University of Edinburgh Main Library Redevelopment. Also taking a wider view of the library landscape at Edinburgh and beyond.
Significant developments in OA, driven by HEFCE’s “Policy for open access in the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework” state that authors’ final peer-reviewed manuscripts must be deposited in a repository on acceptance for publication i.e. “green” OA. In many ways the policy is a response to the Finch report and RCUK policy which emphasise “gold” whereby a journal provides immediate OA to articles on the publisher’s website and may levy a fee as an alternative to library subscription.
There is consensus that established models of scholarly communication, especially related to copyright, inhibit scientific progress, and RCUK emphasise that gold OA must be CC-BY. In response, traditional publishers have moved towards a “hybrid” model whereby they facilitate green by permitting “self-archiving” – often subject to embargo – but increasingly promote gold whereby authors pay a fee to publish CC-BY (average fee across the sector ≈ £1800 per article), in stark contrast to the use of open licences in OE more generally and reflecting commercial interests with evidence that publishers benefit in the form of “double dipping”, effectively paid twice for the same content via library subscription and OA fees (Pinfield et al 2014).
To comply with HEFCE, there is considerable activity across the sector to develop robust infrastructure – repositories, CRIS, RIOXX, Jisc’s “Publication Router”, “Open Mirror”, Monitor project and CORE aggregator. Individual HEIs are also iterating to develop infrastructure and appropriate internal policies; at Leeds Beckett, like many Universities, we are looking into the management of APCs to ensure double-dipping does not occur which requires collaboration between library, research office and faculty. In addition, the more specialised requirements of a HEFCE compliant repository means we are reviewing our infrastructure and considering a Jorum “Window” to manage OER rather than the current “blended” repository comprising OA research and OER.
HEFCE policy serves to emphasise OA over OE and there are questions of academic support structure; academic librarians typically specialise in research support or teaching and learning. Increasingly, librarians advocate for OA/OE, particularly using the HEFCE mandate as a tool to encourage OA publishing routes and it was thought OE/OA would solve the problem of the “serial crisis”, this is now not thought to be the case (Harris, 2012).
OA and OE have much to share and remain convergent in many ways. This paper will describe the developing OA landscape and invite participants to explore synergies and dissonance with OE in the contexts of infrastructure, policy and licensing; we will argue that to avoid continued commercial exploitation, the fostering of partnerships across the academy is crucial to mainstreaming Open Education.

UKSG Student Roadshow: The Serials LibrarianLouise Penn
Prepared for the UKSG Student Roadshow at University College London in 2009. The roadshow was aimed at librarianship and information science students and featured a librarian, a subscription agent, a publisher, and the British Library.
A training session for subject teams and other helpdesk staff to highlight issues relating to off-campus authentication and to encourage more effective first-line support.
2. Main Aims
• The aim of EThOS is: To offer a 'single point of access'
where researchers the world over can access ALL
theses produced by UK Higher Education
• To support Higher Education Institutions through the
transition from print to e-theses
• To help UK Higher Education Institutions expand
available content by digitising paper theses
• To demonstrate the quality of UK research and help
attract students and research investment into UK HE
3. How
• 114 HE institutions currently participate in the scheme
with a smaller number participating in full harvesting of
data
• Many support open access (including KU) so digitising of
their theses is free to the researcher
• Items can be supplied in digital form or digitised in
response to an order – there is a £40 cost each time a
thesis is digitised
• Items can then be searched at http://ethos.bl.uk/
4. How … continued
• Copyright holder approached to grant permission (since
2008 all new authors have been asked to give
permission on submission of thesis)
• If copyright holder can’t be found after ‘best endeavours’
go ahead anyway; can remove item from EThOS if there
is an objection
• Non-commercial, personal use only – not for adding to a
collection or networking
5. Why are we involved?
• Likely that in the future there will be less print theses and
more supplied in digital format
• Higher visibility of KU research content outside the
institution = increased interest and investment
• Perpetual preservation of e-theses at a central hub at the
British Library in Boston Spa
• Digitised content can be added to KU repository (full-
text, not just metadata); although we are only looking to
add metadata at the moment
6. Facts and figures
• 44,000 theses listed in the EThOS database
• 482 theses from KU have been made available
• 30 day turnaround time for a thesis to be digitised once it
has been supplied to BL
• Scheme has just passed its 2nd birthday in January 2011
• 65,000 registered users on the system
• New service and business model due from September
2011 (comes out of project phase)
7. What is UKRR?
The United Kingdom Research Reserve
Collaborative storage of low use printed research
material
8. Main Aims
• To protect research information and scholarly
publishing
• To maintain access to low use material which
might otherwise have been thrown away
• To release valuable shelf space by sharing
storage across the HE community
9. How
• British Library retains 1 copy of each title
• 2 copies are held by other libraries within the
project
• All other holdings across the UKRR project can
be disposed of
• Access is maintained through the British Library
24 hour Document Delivery Service
10. What impact does it have on us?
• Subject teams have to identify low use journals for
inclusion
• The journals included need to be considered
‘scholarly’
• Collections team needs to spend a lot of time
physically checking our holdings and identifying
gaps
• Collections will then also spend a lot of time
disposing of stock and transferring titles to BL
• There will be a lot of updating of holdings in the
catalogue and shunting of material
11. Impact continued…
• Space was created at Penrhyn Road to assist
with the building project
• Kingston Hill journals collection will all be in the
one place, rather than split according to years
• Penrhyn Road will no longer have journal
holdings split between the store and the ground
floor rolling stack
• Reducing the size of the collection at Knights
Park will allow it to fit in the reduced shelving
available in the new build
12. Why are we involved?
• Shelf space is being reduced across sites due to
building works
• Pressure to create more and better study
spaces
• HEFCE funding allocated per metre
• £17,073 raised so far
• In total the project is predicted to raise £39,000
• The overall size of our stock is growing, but we
are not in a position to increase our shelving
13. Why … continued…
• Prestige
• Up until recently we were the only modern university
involved in the project
• We have helped to fill gaps in the British Library
holdings
• Project has led to us being included in SUNCAT
• We are playing a part in preserving access to unique
titles
14. The story so far… Phase 1 2009
• Mainly covered science titles at Penrhyn Road,
but did also cover some FASS titles
• 80 titles covering 203 metres were offered
• Holdings of 10 titles were transferred to the
British Library
• We were asked to retain 2 titles
• The rest was disposed of, creating space on the
ground floor
15. The Story so far…. Phase 2 2010/11
• All subject teams involved at all sites
• 570 titles offered, covering 450 linear metres
• We were asked to retain 28 full runs and 39 part
runs
• Part or full holdings of 140 titles were requested
by British Library
• Around 400 metres of stock can now be
disposed of, which we are in the process of
completing
16. What’s next… Phase 2
• Complete removal of approved stock from
Penrhyn Road and Kingston Hill
• Complete updating of holdings on catalogue
• Transfer requested titles to BL
• Put ground floor rolling stack at Penrhyn Road in
alphabetic order and label
17. What’s next… Phase 3
• More titles for inclusion need to be identified
• Aim to offer another 500 metres
• Titles offered from Knights Park to be moved to
Penrhyn Road
