Presentation on UCD Library case study and experience with patron driven acquisition given at Academic & Special Libraries Annual Seminar, February 27, 2014 in Dublin, Ireland.
This document summarizes case studies on patron-driven acquisition (PDA) programs at three universities: University College Dublin, University of Leeds, and University of Sussex. It describes how PDA worked at UCD, finding that subjects like business, politics, and English spent the most money. Usage of e-books acquired through PDA was higher than non-PDA e-books. Challenges included marketing, volume, and poor quality records, but students and staff found it popular and the funds were quickly spent. UCD has continued PDA with adjustments based on lessons learned.

How to get your institution ready for open access monographs - Ellen Collins ...Jisc
How ready is your institution for Open Access (OA) monographs? Although excluded from REF2020, there is no doubt that they will be included in the future, indeed you can already publish an OA monograph now. This session will first provide a brief introduction to the OA monograph landscape – what is happening, who is doing what, what models are being explored. It will then look at how institutions are responding to landscape and based on evidence collected through institutional case studies as part of the OAPEN-UK project, present tips for getting your institution ready for OA monographs.
The OAPEN-UK project, funded by AHRC and Jisc is exploring open access monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences. The institutional case studies included in-depth interviews with Pro-Vice Chancellors of Research, Directors of Research, Grant administrators, Finance Directors, Librarians and Repository Staff and researchers themselves. The session will be presented by Ellen Collins, Research Officer for OAPEN-UK.
Be careful what you wish for - unexpected policy consequencesDanny Kingsley
This presentation was given to the LIBER 2015 conference held in London in June. It discusses what policies are trying to achieve, the OA policy landscape, the devaluation of the OA 'brand' the administrative focus of OA, the spiralling cost of gold OA, the expense of green OA, and the potential effect on research practice.
The document summarizes an audit of the accessibility of ebooks on various platforms. A group of librarians and disability advocates crowdsourced data on the accessibility features of 44 ebook platforms from 65 publishers. They developed a standardized form to assess features like text display, navigation, text-to-speech and image descriptions. Over 280 ebooks were tested. The results provide a benchmark for accessibility and guidance to libraries and publishers on how to improve. The audit aims to help academics find the most accessible resources and encourage suppliers to strengthen weaknesses. It also raises awareness of ebook accessibility benefits among library and student support staff.
This workshop will explore the skill sets for scholarly
communication including questions about future
requirements, the language we are using in this space and,
beyond skills, what type of people are suited to different
aspects of librarianship. Scholarly communication requires
people who are able to be flexible in their approach, rather
than ‘rule followers’, which may mean a fundamental shift
in the library workforce into the future. Working collectively,
the session will consider the implications for upskilling our
‘legacy’ workforce.
Nottingham Trent University and Alexander Street have
partnered to pilot an in-depth view on analytics, demonstrating
user engagement and impact of use. They will share findings
on how e-resources were used and how these analytics can
go beyond simple cost-per-use evaluation to support effective
decision making on the marketing and promotion of resources
and improve our understanding of how library users are
engaging with the resources we provide.
The document discusses information literacy (IL) education for online nursing students at VIA University College in Denmark. It outlines how the library offers IL instruction through 8 sessions integrated into the nursing curriculum. Sessions are designed using a flipped classroom model with open learning resources and webinars. The library collaborates closely with nursing faculty to design IL activities that scaffold learning and are timed to support course assignments. Evaluations found curriculum integration, personal librarian support, and experience-oriented instruction most impact student IL acquisition. A related study showed students receiving regular IL instruction had better search skills and used academic databases more than Google.

Strand 1: Mandates, funding and embargoes, what are the options? by Ellen Col...OAbooks
This document discusses options for open access monographs, as funders and institutions have been slow to mandate open access for monographs like they have for journal articles. It outlines different business models for open access monograph publishing, including author-pays models where the author pays a fee, models where libraries pay membership fees, and models relying on crowdsourced funding. The document also notes the Wellcome Trust's recent decision to extend its open access policy to include monographs and some challenges around making book chapters openly accessible through green open access repositories.
This document discusses an information literacy staff development project called Lollipops for Learning Resources that was conducted at West Cheshire College. It provided concise online modules to familiarize staff with concepts of information literacy and how to use the college's virtual learning environment (VLE). Evaluation found that the project significantly increased staff perceptions of the importance of information literacy, their knowledge of related topics, and their familiarity with the VLE. Overall, the project was deemed an effective staff development tool to promote information literacy.
Workshop at Oxford on publishing for early career researchers - April 2011Jisc
This document discusses open publishing and what it offers researchers. It defines open as referring to permissions, cost, time, and access to papers, monographs, theses, and data. Researchers are encouraged to make their work openly accessible by putting papers in institutional repositories, publishing in open access journals, and negotiating rights with publishers. Open publishing can provide benefits like increased citations, savings and economic benefits, but does face challenges in funding models and getting researchers to participate. The document provides guidance on making theses, papers, monographs, and data open through various options and platforms.
Managing active research in the University of EdinburghRobin Rice

The document discusses potential structures for Sukuk (Islamic bonds) that could be used to finance agricultural projects. It defines Sukuk and explains that they represent proportionate ownership in an underlying asset that generates permissible income streams. Various Sukuk structures are described, including Muzaraat (agricultural partnership), Musaqat (tree ownership partnership), and Ijarah (lease-based). Case studies on prior Sukuk issues are provided, such as Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority's use of Sukuk to partially fund expansion of the Mangla Dam. Overall, the document explores how Sukuk could be tailored to support the agricultural sector through partnership and lease-based investment models.
The document discusses Finland and Nokia. It provides background on how Finland transitioned to an innovation-driven economy in the 1980s and became a member of the European Union in the 1990s. It then focuses on Nokia, which accounted for 70-80% of Finland's exports and was the world leader in mobile phones. The Finnish government played an important role in supporting leading companies like Nokia. The document examines Finland and Nokia's relationship from 2001-2010 when the telecommunications sector experienced a slowdown globally.

The document presents a case study of the WAPDA House building in Lahore, Pakistan. It provides background on the objective to evaluate the building's facade appearance. Some key details include:
- The building was designed by American architect Edward Durrel Stone and completed in 1963 to house the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority.
- Architectural features of the building include bay windows, a dome-like structure, thin columns, rectangular patterns on the facade and interior, and perforated canopies.
- While some Mughal-inspired elements were incorporated, the architect failed to truly capture the essence of traditional Mughal architecture for the region's climate and instead replicated his own prior work from the United States
The document discusses Pakistan's growing energy needs to support its expanding economy. It outlines Pakistan's historical energy usage and projections showing increasing deficits if production and policy do not change. The government's energy sector action plan aims to boost oil, gas, coal, hydropower and nuclear production through public-private partnerships and integrated planning to meet demand sustainably. Significant investment estimated at $39.2 billion through 2025 will be required across the energy sector.

This document summarizes the information systems used by Airblue, a private airline based in Pakistan. It describes Airblue's transition from using a global distribution system to a customized internal system for reservations, ticketing, and customer relationship management. The system allows for online reservations, employee communication and collaboration, and flight operations management. While the system provides benefits like cost savings and convenience, it also relies on stable internet connectivity.
Air Blue is Pakistan's second largest airline, established in 2003. It operates domestic flights within Pakistan as well as international flights to destinations in the Middle East and Europe. The airline is headquartered in Islamabad and has its main base at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi. Air Blue has a young fleet and offers low prices and convenience to passengers while prioritizing safety. However, the airline has faced challenges such as scrutiny over its investigation into a fatal 2008 plane crash.
The document discusses Pakistan's power crisis and issues in the power sector. It outlines seven key aspects that have contributed to the crisis, including inadequate energy planning and lack of effective implementation. It then provides examples of SSGC's strategic planning process and investment programs that have led to improved performance. Finally, it discusses Pakistan's proposed energy mix and hydel power projects to help ensure future energy security and sustainability.
Nokia was founded in 1865 and over the following century grew to include several Finnish companies, ultimately merging in 1967 to form Nokia Corporation. Nokia entered the mobile phone industry in 1979 through its Mobira subsidiary and helped drive innovations in mobile technology. By the 1990s under CEO Jorma Ollila, Nokia focused exclusively on telecommunications and became the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. The document traces Nokia's history from its founding to its leadership in mobile through innovations like the first GSM handset and development of smartphones.
Nokia was once the dominant mobile phone manufacturer, holding over 30% of the global market share. However, its market share dropped below 30% in 2011 as it struggled to compete with smartphones running Android and iOS that had more advanced apps and processors. In an attempt to turn things around, in 2011 Nokia partnered with Microsoft to use the Windows Phone platform for future devices. However, Nokia remained dependent on Microsoft and faced strong competition from Apple and Google, making a full recovery difficult. The partnership aimed to combine Nokia's manufacturing and distribution with Microsoft's software expertise to build a new mobile ecosystem.

The document discusses the changing policy landscape around complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the United States over the past 50 years. It describes how the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act originally tightly regulated CAM products and claims. However, the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act significantly weakened the FDA's ability to regulate supplements. The 2000 White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy further promoted CAM. The effect has been to move US policy from actively discouraging CAM to embracing it, driven largely by private industry interests in the commercial CAM market.
The document discusses reasons why businesses fail such as a lack of objective evaluation of their product and market, inadequate understanding of technical requirements, and ineffective marketing. It also covers the market-led marketing process and importance of research to understand customer needs and the competitive landscape. Strategies for obtaining market information are presented, including internal data collection, published sources, and conducting primary research through surveys and interviews.

3. An outline of course topics, assignments including quizzes, group works and finals, and career opportunities in data communications.
Electronic Collection Management: How statistics can, and can't, help.Selena Killick
Presentation delivered at the ASLIB Engineering & Technology group and the Aerospace & Defence Librarians Group event titled: Surviving the recession: maximising your value. Held at Imperial College on the 15th of November 2011.
This presentation was given at the Western Regional Section of the Library Association of Ireland (WRSLAI) Annual Seminar, Tuam Library, Ireland in June 2013.The talk looked at various methods of assessing the value of e-resources for libraries. Usage statistics for databases, e-books and e-journals were examined. The advantages and disadvantages of using the cost per use (CPU) metric to measure the value of e-resources in a library was discussed. Other factors in measuring the value of e-resources such as journal impact factor, national and institutional research priorities, and the use of user surveys, interviews and focus groups was also considered. The talk focused on academic libraries but also showed how the techniques can be transferred to the public library sector as the provision of electronic resources in these libraries becomes more prevalent.

A Jisc RSC summary presentation for the Insight 2013 series. More resources from the summer conference at http://moodle.rsc-em.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=252
Stephen Abram gave a presentation about trends in public libraries. He discussed tools like the BRIDGE Toolkit that help assess technology's impact in libraries. Ontario public libraries have seen increases in circulation, programs, attendance, and visits over the last decade, though budgets have grown only slightly. New services like makerspaces and 3D printing are popular among younger users. Most users still visit in person but increasingly also use libraries' online resources.
LENDING IPADS TO MEDICAL STAFF: INTEGRATING IN INFORMATION WORKFLOWGuus van den Brekel
The Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen started to lend iPads to clinical and research staff in Februari 2011.
We brought this new innovative technology to them to engage them in an experience that most certainly would affect their daily workflow in patient care, research or education.
The iPads were pre-loaded with apps on workflow, communication, medical specialities, journals, books and library resources.
It brought the library many useful direct user contacts as the iPads were exchanged only with a initial personal "briefing" ánd a de-briefing meeting when the iPads were returned.
One of our goals for this project was to learn where the library's focus should be for the next years regarding mobile technology & library services.
This talk will explain how pro-active projects like lending out iPads to patrons, can have a huge impact on the user's perception of the library. Throughout the whole organization the library became the first stop to go, for anything related to the use of iPads or other tablets.
I will picture what elements for libraries will be important in the next years to keep up to date, to maintain an important player in your organization to conclude with solid predictions for future trends your library simpy can not ignore!
Key learning points:
1 - You can change the way people look at the library by engaging in pro-active projects focussed on information workflow
2- Libraries can play an important role in driving technological innovation in your organisation
3 - Lending out iPads to library patrons is the best pr & marketing activity for libraries since the invention of "sliced bread"!

IReL was established in 2006 to provide online information resources to researchers across seven Irish universities and one medical college. It was formed in response to growing research needs and insufficient information access. IReL centrally funds and negotiates national licenses for journals, databases, and e-books to provide access to all resources for all affiliated researchers. Usage has grown substantially over the years. Challenges include budget cuts during the economic downturn, rising publisher costs, and changing research needs and policies. Looking ahead, IReL aims to continue supporting Irish research needs through strategic resource selection, central negotiations, and preparation for potential shifts like increased open access publishing.

The authentic research experience: UCD Special Collections in the BA HumanitiesUCD Library
This document summarizes a module in the BA Humanities program at University College Dublin that incorporates the university's Special Collections. The module aims to develop students' critical thinking, research, teamwork, and presentation skills through hands-on research projects using primary sources from the Special Collections. Students work in groups to research and create digital exhibits on assigned topics, using sources from the Collections. The module is delivered over 11 weeks through lectures, tutorials, and assignments. While challenging due to its scale and interdisciplinary nature, preliminary reviews found the module strengthened students' research, analytical, and primary source literacy skills.

UCD Library and GreenGlass: Defining Needs, Redefining CollectionsUCD Library
UCD Library is undertaking a project called GreenGlass to review and curate its print book collections. The goals are to define the needs of library users, refine what materials should be in the collections, and take a long-term sustainable approach to managing collections and spaces. The project involves weeding less used items, purchasing new materials, and defining criteria for what remains in open access, storage on-site, and long-term off-site storage based on usage data, age, and other qualitative factors. Communication and input from academic departments will help develop profiles to guide decision-making.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
