They found engaging researchers can be difficult and bespoke departmental sessions may be more useful than generic workshops. Increasing research visibility requires collaboration with other services and finding effective engagement methods poses challenges.
The document discusses using design thinking as the basis for project-based team building in an educational program. It presents examples of semester team projects focused on innovative service systems of the future, such as 3D printing as a service. The projects are meant to develop cross-disciplinary, collaborative, and adaptive skills needed in the 21st century by having students communicate across fields, industries, cultures, and functions to develop new knowledge through research.
This document discusses the basic elements of effective meeting management. It addresses key factors like accurate planning, clear objectives, respecting timing, recording results, and gathering feedback. Planning elements include concrete goals, agenda items mapped to objectives, and realistic schedules. Objectives should specify where the meeting is coming from and going to. Issues can arise from biological needs, technology use, and cultural factors. Good practices involve starting and ending on time, managing behaviors, and using tools like templates, checklists, and flipcharts. The overall message is that meetings require knowledge, practice, and feedback to maximize value and output.

Dr. Robin Burgess developed a research data management policy for the Glasgow School of Art to raise awareness of the importance of managing research data. Burgess conducted interviews that found arts research data takes many complex forms and is difficult to define. A policy was created through collaboration and defined research data broadly. It addressed roles, preservation, and tools to support implementation. Challenges included building support and understanding of data management, but the policy provides guidance tailored to the arts.
Presentation delivered by Elizabeth Gadd [Loughborough University] at Supporting Researchers at Your University event, at Kings Manor, University of York, organised by the Academic and Research Libraries Group Yorkshire and Humberside branch, 18th November 2015
The document discusses Elizabeth Gadd's career transition from a librarian managing an academic services team in the library to a research policy manager in the university's research office. As a librarian, she developed specialisms in copyright and bibliometrics. Poor citation performance and research evaluation results prompted the creation of her new role focused on research visibility, bibliometrics, and publication strategy. In her new role, she engages in activities like monitoring citation data, developing policy, and providing training. The transition allowed her a different perspective and greater strategic thinking ability while still drawing on her experience as a librarian and researcher.
Librarians as researchers: why bother darts3 290612ARLGSW
Librarians can benefit from conducting research in three key ways: individually, to develop new skills and enhance careers; for their organizations, to improve services and demonstrate value; and for the profession as a whole, by advancing knowledge and establishing an evidence base for practice. However, barriers like lack of skills, time and support must be overcome. Developing a research culture through training, collaboration and showcasing work can help librarians start researching practitioner issues.

It describes costing two types of systems: an externally hosted cloud-based system (Amazon Web Services) and an internally hosted open source system. Key factors that are costed include storage, hardware, software, staffing, and annual inflation. The document also notes some limitations, such as development costs being excluded and cloud pricing changing over time. An accompanying Excel spreadsheet model allows entering storage and other variables to calculate total costs for each system.
The document summarizes the agenda and goals of the KAPTUR Project Steering Group meeting on January 8th, 2013 in London. The project aims to investigate research data in the visual arts, apply technology to support its collection and preservation, and develop policies and case studies to share best practices. The agenda covers updates on partner reports, technical demonstrations, sustainability, and conclusion of the project.
The technical report summarizes work from the KAPTUR project including:
1) An environmental assessment report analyzed researcher data practices and found they want to share research but with privacy.
2) A technical analysis reviewed 17 systems and recommended piloting Figshare and DataStage.
3) A costing model analyzed institutional vs cloud hosting and identified risks and integration challenges to cloud computing.
4) The meeting presented on piloting Figshare, DataStage, EPrints and CKAN as research data management systems.
The document outlines several potential benefits from the KAPTUR project including improved compliance with funder requirements, adoption of research data management policies, awareness of issues in research data management, availability of findable datasets, user understanding of research data management, and organizational practice and risk management. It then provides details on how evidence will be gathered and presented for each benefit, including tracking metrics, case studies, analyses, quizzes, and sections within a final report.
