Presentation from the 6th CILIP ARLG-SW Discover Academic Research and Training Support Conference (DARTS6). Dartington Hall, Totnes, Thursday 24th – Friday 25th May 2018
Transforming liaison roles for academic librarians is critical, as universities are moving to position themselves to meet the demands of a more competitive national research environment. At La Trobe University, librarians are repackaging current research support services to streamline and incorporate these more efficiently into the researcher’s life cycle, in order to support the University’s research initiatives
Communications and context: strategies for onboarding new e-resources librari...NASIG
Presented by Bonnie Thornton.
This presentation details onboarding strategies institutions can utilize to help acclimate new e-resources librarians with an emphasis on strategies for effectively establishing and perpetuating communications with stakeholders.
Objectives: To explore potential collaborations between academic libraries and Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA)-funded institutes with respect to
data management training and support.
Methods: The National Institutes of Health CTSAs have established a well-funded, crucial infrastructure supporting large-scale collaborative biomedical research. This infrastructure is also valuable for smaller, more localized research projects. While infrastructure and corresponding support is often available for large, well-funded projects, these services have generally not been extended to smaller projects. This is a missed opportunity on both accounts. Academic libraries providing data services can leverage CTSA-based resources, while CTSA-funded institutes can extend their reach beyond large biomedical projectsto serve the long tail of research data.
Results: A year-long series of conversations with the Indiana CTSI Data Management Team resulted in resource sharing, consensus building about key issues in data management, provision of expert feedback on a data management training curriculum, and several avenues for future collaborations.
Conclusions:Data management training for graduate students and early career researchers is a vital area of need that would benefit from the combined infrastructure and expertise of translational science institutes and academic libraries. Such partnerships can leverage the instructional, preservation, and access expertise in academic libraries, along with the storage, security, and analytical expertise in translational science institutes to improve the management, protection, and access of valuable research data.

Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

Presented by Jennifer L. Pate.
With support from the president and provost of the university, Collier Library adopted strategic purchasing initiatives, including database purchases to support specific courses as well as purchasing reserve copies of textbooks for high-enrollment, required classes. In addition, the scholarly communications librarian became a founding member of the OER workgroup on campus. This group’s mission is to direct efforts for increasing faculty awareness and adoption of OER. This presentation discusses the structure of the each of these programs from initial idea to implementation. Included will be discussions of assessment of faculty and student awareness, development of an OER grant program, starting a textbook purchasing program, promotion of efforts, funding, and future goals.

Today’s publishing environment is evolving. New University
Presses (NUPs) and Academic-Led Presses (ALPs) play an
increasing role in the shift in scholarly communication. In 2016
Jisc conducted a landscape study to provide a unique view of the
motivations, models, policies and future direction of these new
presses. This session will report on the findings of the research.
It will also discuss the next steps Jisc are taking to provide
support in this rapidly developing area, such as new methods
of publishing and scholarly outputs and advice and best practice
for existing and new presses.
Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

The landscape of academic research has changed rapidly in the past decade, with access to high-performance networks, and the focus on data-intensive and interdisciplinary scholarship. Research libraries in North America are developing new services and programs aimed at meeting scholars’ needs for data-intensive, and interdisciplinary research support. Examples of some emerging programs include:
• Supporting digital research (graphical information systems, digital humanities, survey research methodologies, working with large datasets)
• Educating users about copyright and author rights
• Supporting content-creation and publishing activities in numerous ways: institutional repository to store and host works, establishing maker spaces, and developing infrastructure and workflows for more formal library-located publishing efforts
• Collaboration with research offices to educate researchers about federal mandates for open access publications and datasets
• Establishment of data management and archival resources
• Partnering with third-party vendors and with consortia to achieve scale-efficiencies and facilitate impact
• Development of researcher information management systems to support collaboration, discovery, and reporting
We present a case study of the development of a suite of new tools and services at the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign within its newly established Office of Research to support digital scholarship and to provide sustained and broad access to research. We will also discuss the significant challenges and opportunities of library/campus partnerships for cyberinfrastructure and research support.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• Print to electronic resource provision
• Self-service
• Skills development/facilitation of access to resources
• Infrastructure changes – space utilisation
Developments in Library services
5. • Changes in the HE sector
• ‘Seat of learning’ to marketization of HE
• Funding changes, grant income
• Target-hitting, ratings, forming a USP
• Transparency/accountability
• League tables and assessment exercises
Changes to institutions
7. Changes to research
• Digital scholarship
• Huge increase in research outputs created, analysed and shared.
• Publishing models are changing.
• Increased collaboration and inter-disciplinarity
• Increasingly competitive nature of higher education – league tables, rankings,
performance measurement, research strategies, grant capture, compliance…
9. • Bibliographer model (capturing
the end products of scholarship,
cataloguing, intermediary)
• Liaison model (recognising the
need for advanced library
research assistance within the
disciplines, instruction
• Engagement model (enhancing
scholar productivity, empowering
lowers, participating in research,

Skills gaps from research lifecycle
12. Five years on..
• ‘Research Support’ and
‘Library Research Services’
emerging as functional
specialisms for librarians
• Many of those skills gaps
addressed.
Where are we now?
13. What do academic librarian job descriptions look like?
Job descriptions
14. “It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t
know what they want until you show it to them.” Steve Jobs
What do we want?
• Libraries need to partner with other parts of the institution such as the research
office and computing services.
• Librarians need to find out the tools that will make a researcher’s life better,
faster, easier and tidier in a way that is obvious.
• Libraries need to train their own staff in these tools, develop deeper expertise,
while creating an understanding of where that expertise lies within the
organisation’
(Groenewegen, D, 2017 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/13614533.2017.1336637)
Five years from now..
15. “Respondents seemed
confident that the library
would continue to be
involved in delivering,
indeed leading, on a wide
range of services”
(Pinfield, Cox & Rutter, 2017. Mapping the
future of academic libraries: A report for
SCONUL, p. 48)
The library position in the
University is changing.
Future Library services
16. • Move towards working with researchers as the
producers of information (ie. authors), not only
the users of information.
• How to get there – Qualification questions?
Equivalent advanced degrees? Professional body
membership? CPD and training to support staff
development is essential.
• Naming of parts – job titles important to attract
right skill sets, library structures – where does
research support sit?
Changing roles for academic librarians
Future job descriptions / keywords
• Impact
• Social Technology
• Personalisation
• Ethics/legal expertise
• Coding
• Preservation/version control
17. • New areas of support/institutional priorities/ways of working =
engagement role + functional expertise
• New relationships – providing expertise for institutional
research strategies, libraries having expertise in their own right;
working with other professional services; working with
academics in different capacities (i.e. Directors of Research).
• Re-skilling and professional development – CILIP, SCONUL
and RLUK are active in this area

Editor's Notes
In the process of putting this talk together, I became a bit concerned that I was expected to be presenting from the point of view of an expert. I found this a bit alarming, especially after some desk research showed there’s a lot of marvellous people producing marvellous thoughts on the developments in higher education in the UK and around the world, and how research is changing and how academic libraries are refocusing (or need to be) to continue to provide services and support that their users need, even before their users know they do.
So what I hope you can take away from this talk are thoughts, trends, and ideas about what the key themes are in academic librarianship at the moment where that is intersecting with support for research.
You’ll get a sense that academic librarianship is evolving or transforming even, and this is a good thing and a normal thing for library roles.
I showed this slide to my team, and the former researchers said ‘the most important thing should be doing the research!’ This wheel represents the Researcher Developer Framework is often used within institutions to frame the training needs of a researcher.
Looking at this Framework, where do you think we can add value or interact with researchers? Would these be met by existing academic library support? Are they being met by others?
