The Journey from BIAB to the ADS Library - Jo GilhamRCAHMW
The Journey from BIAB to the ADS Library
Jo Gilham: Digital Archivist & HERALD Project Manager, Archaeology Data Service
When the idea of combining all the textual resources within the ADS with the British and Irish Archaeological Bibliography, to create one Library of Publications was suggested it didn’t seem that complicated. It is all bibliographic data, surely it should not be too hard to combine?
This paper will take you through the high-lights and the low-lights of the journey of unifying the data from BIAB with that from the Library of unpublished fieldwork reports and journal and monograph archives. Discovering duplicates, trying to identify and distinguish individual authors, trying to align the different datasets programmatically to produce a resource which allows people to find the archaeological reports and publications they are looking for. The positive outcomes, like working with other organisations, have enabled us to share expertise and we hope to pass on the lessons we have learnt in advice for others undertaking the reconciliation of other historic datasets.
Research libraries. Future roles and challengesLIBER Europe
This document discusses the future roles and challenges of research libraries. It addresses three main topics: open access, article processing charges (APCs) for open access publishing, and university publishing. Regarding APCs, the document notes that cost is the main barrier to open access and discusses efforts to establish a shared service for UK universities to manage open access funds and payments. It also explores opportunities for universities to establish their own publishing operations, like UCL Press. Finally, the document outlines plans for a shared European infrastructure to support open access publishing of monographs across multiple universities.
Public libraries began in England in 1850 with the Public Libraries Act, which allowed towns and parishes to establish public libraries. The purpose of public libraries is to provide books and materials to community members for study, work, and recreation free of charge. Public libraries are administered by a board of trustees who set policies, while a director manages daily operations and staff. Collections include books, periodicals, photographs, sound recordings and more. Departments often include reference, children's, and branches which can be full-time or mobile.
Theresa Thurston and Abigail Heath are the librarians who can provide support to students at the Brussels School of International Studies. The library resources available include over 7,000 ebooks on law, politics and international relations as well as ejournals, legislation, newspapers and theses. Students have 24/7 access to these resources through online databases and can also search the Library Search Europe catalogue for recommended readings and additional materials.

Going, going, gone - Can legal deposit save us from the digital black hole? -...CONUL Conference
Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Margaret Flood, Arlene Healy, Trinity College Dublin.
Abstract
The internet has evolved beyond recognition since its advent in 1980s; fundamentally changing the way we live, work and communicate. However its pervasiveness is mirrored by the transient nature of much of the content and the consequent loss of collective memory has been described as the digital black hole. Historically nations have relied on national libraries and other legal deposit libraries, to collect preserve and provide ongoing access to the intellectual, cultural and social outputs of their country, and in an increasingly digital world restricting legal deposit to publications in print has put the national record at risk. Over the last decade countries across the world have extended legal deposit provisions in their legislation to cover non-print formats. This presentation focuses on the experience of the UK, as a case study, from new legislation in 2003 through the experience of implementation in 2013 to where we are today. Challenges, viewed through the lens of an academic library, include defining what is national in a digital world; balancing the interests of multiple stakeholders; technical challenges to implement robust collection, preservation and access systems within legal constraints; dealing with multiple and rapidly evolving formats; the sheer scale and cost of collecting and preserving content and providing ongoing access to it. Two years on from UK implementation of the legislation how successful have the legal deposit libraries been in this endeavour, what does the future look like and what lessons might be applicable to the Irish digital environment?

Building a Collection of the Historical UK Web for scholarly useALISS
The document discusses the British Library's efforts to build a collection of the historical UK web for scholarly use. It provides details on the library's web archiving program, including that it started in 2003 and now collects UK websites under legal deposit requirements. It also describes the library's strategies for broadly crawling the .uk domain and collecting special collections, and challenges around providing access to comprehensive web archives.
The document discusses legal deposit in the UK and web archiving efforts. It covers:
1) The origins and history of legal deposit in the UK and the 2003 Legal Deposit Libraries Act which extended legal deposit to non-print works.
2) The work of the Legal Deposit Advisory Panel and Joint Committee on Legal Deposit to advise on regulations and issues regarding legal deposit.
3) The collection development policies and efforts of the British Library and other UK web archiving consortium partners to build a representative collection of UK websites over time within technical and resource limitations.
The document discusses the UK's Non-Print Legal Deposit (eLD), which allows libraries to collect digital publications like ebooks, websites, and journals in order to preserve the UK's published digital output. It covers what eLD is, why it is important, how content is collected and accessed. The Bodleian Libraries have collected over 935,000 digital articles and 16,300 ebooks through eLD. The UK Legal Deposit Web Archive preserves millions of UK websites and supports research. Staff were encouraged to provide input on promoting and curating the archive.
"Better together?: SCURL and HE library collaboration in Scotland" (Chris Ban...TDBaldwin
SCURL is a consortium of 25 academic and research libraries in Scotland that promotes collaboration. It aims to improve user services, maximize resources through shared actions, and advocate for members. Key activities include a collaborative procurement initiative called SHEDL that negotiates access to thousands of ejournals and ebooks, a shared print storage facility called CASS, and reciprocal access to library collections. SCURL is governed by a business committee and supported by communities of practice that work on priorities like collaborative purchasing, maximizing digital access, and advocacy.
Research Libraries UK (RLUK) is a consortium of 39 research libraries in the UK and Ireland, with a number of networks and working groups including the Collections Strategy Network (CSN).
In May 2022 the RLUK Board of Directors endorsed the CSN’s vision for a UK Distributed Print Book Collection (UKDPBC) as part of the ‘Collective Collections’ strand of the RLUK ‘Transforming Libraries’ strategy. It is envisaged that this shared print collection will extend beyond RLUK libraries with SCONUL libraries, national libraries, special libraries and Jisc all playing a role. The UKDPBC builds on previous work relating to collective collections, including the successful UKRR service.
The UKDPBC will support sustainable collection management through ensuring preservation of, and access to, shared print book holdings in the UK for current and future users. The UKDPBC will enable individual libraries to reduce their own print collections through strategic decision-making, with the positive environmental impact of reducing the size of local collections stores, and without the risk of limiting access to print book content.
We are planning to begin the process to implement the UKDPBC in 2023, with the distributed collection managed through the use of retention statements added to metadata records uploaded to the National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK). The NBK includes records created from the holdings of 141,426,076 records contributed by 190 institutions, with holdings discoverable through Jisc Library Hub Discover. It is envisaged that individual libraries will add retention statements as local collections analysis and projects are carried out. We are also working with Jisc to analyse NBK data to identify potential ‘last copies’ of titles to proactively ensure sustainable access to at risk content.

Incorporating student content at city- Diane Bell, City UniversityALISS
The document discusses various ways that City University London Library incorporates student input and content. It describes projects like Read for Research, which allows students to recommend books for the library to purchase. It also discusses using student feedback to help develop resources like a researcher library guide and employability workshops.

However, there are challenges to incorporating all student suggestions due to limits on time, money, and other resources.
The British Library conducted a survey of 600 readers in January/February 2015 to understand who uses the reading rooms and how. Key findings include:

3) Dedicated reading rooms for specific disciplines remained important for many readers to have materials and support in one place. However, remote access to electronic resources was the most requested improvement.
4) Compared to 2009 data, certain activities like browsing shelves and using printed indexes were in decline, while use

This document discusses workplace learning initiatives at Cardiff University. It began in 2005 with a pilot job rotation program involving 3 staff pairs rotating roles for 6 weeks. This helped improve skills and relationships. It later expanded to include Do Something Different days, where staff spend a day in another department, and job shadowing. These initiatives aim to help staff learn new skills, build relationships across the university, and increase job satisfaction. They have been popular programs that the document suggests could continue expanding to involve more areas of the university.
