Strand 3: Ralf Schimmer, Max Planck Digital LibraryOAbooks
The Max Planck Society is a large, independent research organization in Germany comprised of 80 institutes across three sections. It is establishing a framework to support open access monograph publishing through its digital library services. Key aspects include growing interest from humanities and social sciences researchers, collaboration with publishers through framework agreements, and pilot projects like Edition Open Access for self-publishing monographs openly. The goal is a sustainable infrastructure while still experimenting with policies and workflows.
Open access (OA) to research publications brings with it significant benefits for UK institutions, researchers and research funders.
After several years of concerted effort to implement OA following the Finch report in 2012, we have learned, and continue to learn, a great deal about what works well, and what works less well. In this workshop we’ll present examples of good practice to support implementation from our nine pathfinder projects.
The document summarizes the Welsh e-books consortium project. The consortium's mission is to raise the profile of Welsh higher education library services and influence policymakers. The project objectives were to establish a shared e-book collection and negotiate purchases with suppliers. The outcomes were the purchase of 538 e-book titles through an agreement with OCLC, with usage increasing over time. Next steps discussed expanding the collection, improving the selection process, and pursuing cross-sectoral collaboration.

Libraries are increasingly being called upon to extend
access to their online resources to users beyond their
core constituencies. Every institution has its own unique
arrangements, but they all raise similar questions for the
library: are these users included under our existing licences
or are separate ones needed? Will we have to pay more, and
if so, how much? Where can I go for advice? Learn about the
guidelines Jisc Collections has developed, and hear from
two librarians who have successfully implemented their own
solutions: Anna Franca on KCL’s work with an NHS Trust

Launch of Directory of Open Access Books by Eelco FerwerdaOAbooks
The document discusses the official launch of the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). Key points:
- DOAB is a discovery service that provides a searchable index and links to peer-reviewed open access monographs from academic publishers.
- It was developed with input from users during a beta period to understand needs like quality control standards and transparency of processes.
- Requirements for inclusion in DOAB are that books must be available under an open access license and subjected to independent external peer review.
- The goals are to increase discoverability of open access books, provide an authoritative list of publishers, support quality assurance, and promote open access book publishing.
The session will start with questions like: why should research funders foster open access? What are the goals of switching to an open, transparent system for scholarly publishing? The German Research Foundation’s (DFG) researcher-oriented perspective on the ‘open’ paradigm and the Dutch Research Foundation’s (NWO) open access requirements will be depicted as national examples. Finally, the session will elaborate on recent international trends and developments regarding the need to better align policies, the attempts to invest already available resources for transitioning towards open access, and the growing awareness that a dedicated infrastructure is needed in order to implement any open access policy.

Managing active research in the University of EdinburghRobin Rice
This document summarizes Robin Rice's presentation on managing active research at the University of Edinburgh. It discusses (1) implementing a new research management system to support grant management and administration, (2) guidance and tools provided to researchers for managing research outputs and data, and (3) the consolidation of research data services into a single Research Data Service providing data storage, sharing, and support resources.
What are the key drivers behind the dramatic growth in library-based publishing? This session explores differences and similarities through three case studies from different countries: Sweden, the UK and the USA. The presenters will describe the forces that are changing the roles of their parent libraries and show how these are also shaping the nature of their publishing programmes. They will also discuss some of the opportunities they see for the future of libraries as publishers and the challenges these new entrants are encountering.
This breakout session will introduce a case study covering
the development of Research Data Management services and
systems at King’s College London. The focus will be on researcher engagement and analysis of user requirements – these are activities which are indispensable components in developing systems and services. A question that will be considered is: how can the requirements of other stakeholders such as the university and research funders be met in this process?
KBART (Knowledge Bases And Related Tools) is a recommended practice for publishers to provide standardized metadata to knowledge bases to improve the accuracy of holdings information. Phase 1 focused on serials while Phase 2 expanded the scope to ebooks, open access resources, and consortial holdings. The KBART standing committee oversees the recommended practice. Knowledge bases aggregate holdings data to support linking, discovery, and electronic resource management. Inaccurate holdings data in knowledge bases can negatively impact these services. KBART provides guidelines for data formatting and delivery, educational materials, and an endorsement program to recognize compliant publisher data feeds. Current priorities include increasing adoption of KBART best practices.
Figshare is a research data management platform that offers out-of-the-box compliance with the EPSRC mandate on open access to research data. Not only does figshare satisfy open data mandates but it also provides a world class research data dissemination platform. With private sharing and collaboration functionality, figshare for institutions provides a flexible and comprehensive end-to-end data management platform. This session will focus on how the University of Sheffield and the University of Salford have implemented figshare for institutions.
‘Recent trends in research staffing at academic libraries’ - John Cox (Nation...CONUL Conference
This document discusses recent trends in research staffing at academic libraries. It outlines drivers like emphasis on research and digital scholarship that are expanding the scope of library roles. This causes tensions between traditional functions like subject librarians and new specialist roles. Trends include libraries forming new multi-professional teams, expanding throughout the research lifecycle, and focusing on specialisms like digital publishing. The document also describes the model adopted at NUI Galway Library, including replacing subject librarians with functional teams and creating a Digital Publishing Team.
The document discusses the partnership between Collections Trust and Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS). Prior to 2008, MGS invested in developing collections management standards and providing training and support to members. The partnership allows both organizations to align priorities, share resources, and reach wider audiences. It has expanded from documentation to full collections management support. Collections Trust and MGS work together on projects like the PAS collections management code of practice. The partnership provides value by connecting Scotland's museum community, sharing expertise, and enabling strategic advocacy for collections care. Both organizations aim to increase access to advice, engagement, and networking opportunities for practitioners through the partnership.

Opening keynote presented by Professor Blaise Cronin, Rudy Professor of Information Science, Indiana University.
In his keynote presentation Professor Cronin will provide a brief historical overview of LIS research before critically reviewing competence and practice in the field. He will identify a number of deficiencies, including lack of cumulation, “narcissism of minor differences,” false antinomies, failure to scale, and redundancy. At the same time, he will highlight several trends that may (or may not) be seen as having potentially positive downstream effects: growth in the number of faculty from disciplines other than LIS populating LIS departments, increasing rigour and diversity of LIS research programs, quantifiable growth in the export of ideas from LIS to other disciplines, greater receptivity of LIS research to outsider literature. He will consider social media both as a means of fostering research collaboration and as a subject warranting significant research attention in its own right. He will conclude by considering a few domains in which LIS researchers may be able to establish a stronger presence.

This document discusses how examining evidence, value, and impact can inform the library and information science (LIS) research agenda. It notes that LIS research ranges widely but is often poorly funded and recognized. With funding cuts, LIS must justify its value and impact. The document advocates adopting techniques used by policymakers to demonstrate cost-benefit analyses and impact case studies. It also stresses the importance of human-centered research and involving practitioners and end users in research. Finally, it calls for identifying priority research areas and collaborating to develop the LIS research agenda and secure necessary funding.
Presented by Professor Hazel Hall, Edinburgh Napier University and the LIS Research Coalition.

Creating a UK-wide network of LIS researchersHazel Hall
Presentation delivered at the Library Research Symposium. McMaster University, Canada, 3 November 2015.
The aim of the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Developing Research Excellence and Methods project, was to develop a formal UK-wide network of Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers (academic and practitioner). The project ran from January 2011 to August 2012, and was supported by the UK Library and Information Science Research Coalition.
The initial successes of the DREaM project were reported in a paper that Hazel Hall co-authored with Alison Brettle and Charles Oppenheim and presented at QQML 2012. Three years later in summer 2015, Hall and her colleague Bruce Ryan conducted further research to explore any lasting impacts of the project.
Those who attended three DREaM research methods workshops in 2011/12 were invited to complete a survey in June 2015. The survey questions focused on LIS work undertaken since the last DREaM workshop in April 2012. Respondents were asked to report on the use of the methods presented at the DREaM workshops; any new DREaM-inspired LIS research and publications, and their impacts; the influence of DREaM on individual career paths; and any on-going contact between those who developed relationships with one another over the course of the three workshops. Further data for the 2015 project – known as DREaM Again - were collected formally from focus groups and more informally through email contact with DREaM workshop participants.
In this presentation the main findings of DREaM Again are discussed.

Catalysing research into practice from the ground upHazel Hall
David Stewart, CILIP President for 2019 and Regional Director of Health Library and Knowledge Services North, presents on his key presidential theme: the importance of evidence to underpin the difference that library services make. He provides an overview of CILIP’s plans for greater collaboration and co-ordination, and also shares details of work undertaken in NHS England. This includes (a) national research on return on investment, and (b) details of the Catalyst scheme in the North of England, which has been designed to develop librarian research capability and a ground-up, small-scale research programme.
The LIS Research Coalition was established in 2009 by five founding members to coordinate and strategically advance LIS research in the UK. Since then, it has grown its membership and launched initiatives like the DREaM project funded by AHRC to develop a UK research network. The coalition maintains a website with information on funding opportunities, events, and published research, and engages users through social media and an online wiki.
A coordinated approach to Library and Information Science Research: the UK ex...Hazel Hall
In 2009, the Library and Information Science (LIS) Research Coalition was established in the UK by major players in the LIS landscape. The Coalition had a particular interest in supporting practicing librarians and information scientists, both in how they can access and exploit available research in their work, and in their own development as practitioner researchers.
One of the Coalition’s key initiatives was the Developing Research Excellence and Methods (DREaM) project, through which a formal UK-wide network of LIS researchers was successfully developed. In this presentation, Professor Hall discusses how the LIS Research Coalition tackled the challenges of LIS research at a national level and reflects on the longer-term impact of the project with particular reference to the findings of the DREaM Again project—a recent follow-up exploration of the lasting impacts of DREaM. Not only have half of the DREaM participants been actively involved in research since the end of the project, but just under half report that their research outputs have already had an impact—informing policy, and/or determining information services provision, and/or developing the LIS research agenda. Analysis of the network ties between the participants reveals that a loose but persistent network of DREaMers endures, wherein both social and work-related connections are important.
The document discusses the perspectives of various stakeholders including governments, research funders, and universities regarding open access to scholarly publications. Key themes discussed include: promoting research excellence and maximizing dissemination and access; realizing socio-economic benefits; assessing research impacts; ensuring stewardship and sustainability of the scholarly record; and balancing costs and sustainability concerns in any transition to more open access models. While open access aligns with stakeholders' goals, questions remain around implementation and financing sustainable open access systems.

The document summarizes the Realising the value of RiLIES project conducted by Edinburgh Napier University. The project studied the impact of library and information science research on practice in the UK. It identified 5 impactful studies through a practitioner poll and conducted case studies and focus groups. Key findings included a preference for face-to-face dissemination, a role for social media in raising awareness, and the importance of practitioner involvement, relevant research questions, and accessible reporting of findings to maximize impact on practice. The project aims to help improve how research can influence real-world library services.

The Research in Librarianship Impact Evaluation Project (RiLIES - pronounced 'realise') completed in August 2011 explored the extent to which funded librarianship research projects influence library practice in the UK. Of particular interest in the findings are the factors that increase or hinder the impact or project outcomes on practice.
This presentation, delivered at Online 2011, relates the main findings of the project related to: the relationship between the library and information science research and practitioner communities; how researchers can improve the impact of their research with careful attention to how projects are planned, conceived, implemented and reported; organisational factors that support the development of a receptive audience for research output.
The document discusses findings from a social network analysis exercise conducted at a DREaM 2 event. It provides metrics on knowledge and expertise networks as well as prior acquaintanceship networks in terms of density, average degree centrality, highest in/out-degree centralities, and number of cliques. Some initial thoughts note that the acquaintanceship network had slightly higher connectivity and that both networks could be more connected, particularly between established researchers and PhD students to better achieve the goals of the DREaM project.
