Open access advocacy joining the dots (session 4b)
•
1 like•426 views
This document summarizes the history of open access advocacy at the University of Nottingham. It discusses how the university established its first institutional repository in 2006 and began a central open access fund. It then outlines the advocacy efforts over time, including meetings with faculty research committees from 2010-2014, which led to new open access policies. Currently, open access support is provided by the library and research services. Challenges remain in fully understanding open access across faculties and upskilling the support team. Next steps include launching a new communications plan and website, and increasing direct outreach to academics.

Implementing Open Access – BU and UCL
The document summarizes differences and similarities between Bournemouth University (BU) and University College London (UCL) in implementing open access policies and managing their institutional repositories. Both universities use Symplectic Elements to manage publications and have institutional repositories (BURO and UCL Discovery), though they differ in staff support and how open access funding is administered. Key challenges for both include engaging academics, addressing versioning and metadata issues, and enforcing new open access mandates and policies around research assessment.
David Price, UCL #RLUK14
UCL is committed to open scholarship and accessibility of research. It faces challenges in meeting funder mandates for open access in terms of scale, costs, and complexity. UCL is working on initiatives like its UCL Discovery repository and developing its own publishing platform, UCL Press, to increase open access outputs like journals, monographs, and textbooks while addressing the high and unsustainable costs of current models. UCL argues that universities need to regain their role as publishers to develop new open access models that are financially viable long term.

Open access advocacy joining the dots (session 4c)
Newcastle University initially took a light touch approach to open access advocacy through web pages and minimal staffing. The Finch Report and RCUK policy changes in 2012-2013 led to increased challenges, with senior academics unhappy about recommendations and uncertain about gold and green open access. A new advocacy campaign targeted faculty committees to explain policies and address concerns. This established the library as a trusted partner. While a tri-faculty funding process was difficult, advocacy built support for a unified university fund. Current efforts focus on strategic briefings and monitoring, with successes in increasing green deposits after sessions. Ongoing work aims to build capacity and address compliance.

Change Leadership in South East Asian Academic Libraries
How do academic libraries approach, plan, implement, and evaluate change? What are the reasons and drivers for change? What kind of planning takes place to roll out change? What types of communication with stakeholders are undertaken regarding change? What is the role of mentoring and coaching in change process? What kind of leadership is needed for ‘change’ initiatives? What are some of the challenges academic libraries face to plan and execute change?
Many academic libraries have been reasonably successful in adapting themselves to the fast changing digital world since the beginning of the Internet, but also since the beginning of increased accountability and declining budgets in higher education institutions in a number of countries, since the early 90s. They have gone through a great deal of change in the last twenty years or so. Some are continuing to change and adapt at greater rate than others. Some libraries introduce ‘change’ to their services, operations, initiatives much more than others. Technology and space renovations have been two of the most significant catalysts to facilitate change in many cases in addition to the financial and organisational directives of the parent organisation.
Agile management and change management are closely related. Libraries can benefit from applying agile management strategies to implement change leadership.
This paper uses Singapore Management University Library as a case study in implementing agile management and also present the results of a survey amongst academic library leaders in South East Asia regarding ‘change’ in their libraries as well as causes, effects and outcomes of change initiatives, projects, activities and future plans.
Gavin Beattie, King's College London

Relationship management - Manchester
The document summarizes proposed changes to the structure and operations of an academic library at Manchester University. It found that the existing structure was designed for a different era and that new skills and approaches are needed. It established several workstreams to examine current services, engagement, training, research support, and strategies. Consultation with library staff, students, academics and other universities revealed inconsistencies in services, a focus on physical spaces over research/teaching needs, and a lack of awareness in some schools. The recommendations propose functional teams, reducing routine work, standardizing training, expanding research support, improving engagement, new training methods, and dedicated researcher space. Staffing will remain the same but with more professional roles and additional specialized hires.

Pollock and Snow "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape, Session One: Setting Expec...National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

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.
