Why Ireland needs a CONUL Union Catalogue, Eoin McCarneyCONUL Conference
Eoin McCarney argues that Ireland needs a CONUL union catalogue to share resources and collections across libraries. A union catalogue would allow for collaborative storage, collection management, digitization and collection development. It could move most print collections to shared management in a few years. By 2027, the collections of each library may effectively belong to all libraries. However, collaboration also presents challenges related to workload, costs, and ensuring access.

"Communication with research students" Katie Fraser & Nathan Rush, DARTS4ARLGSW
This document summarizes the results of a study on communicating with research students. Through focus groups and questionnaires, the study identified several crisis points for postgraduate researchers: 1) "Finding your feet" as new students struggle to navigate university resources, 2) "You're on your own" as support ends after registration, and 3) "The great unknown" as students begin writing up their research. The study also found that postgraduate researchers desire a stronger sense of identity as researchers and community. Based on these results, the document recommends that universities acknowledge postgraduate researchers as researchers, increase opportunities for community, improve communication of library services' relevance, and provide a clear and consistent message to researchers.
Open Access at the Coal Face - Attitudes and Practical Responses (DARTS4)Yvonne Budden
Open Access is, arguably, one of the most disruptive changes to the scholarly communications environment since the invention of the internet. Staff in academic and research libraries have been facilitating this change and educating researchers about it since the first institutional repository was launched in 2000. But the pace of change has accelerated exponentially with the strengthening of the RCUK and Wellcome Trust mandates and the introduction of the HEFCE mandate among other funder moves in this area.
This talk will focus on the practical responses taken by the University of Warwick to cope with this change in all areas across the institution and the demands that this has placed on Library staff. It will focus on the Library perspective but also cover work done by the Research Office as well as the Graduate School and Student, Careers and Skills as part of a cross-institutional response. It will examine the practical challenges that we have faced in dealing with the new policies and some of the developments we have made to our institutional repository, WRAP (http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk) to support researchers wanting the advantages of open access. Additionally it will cover new areas of activity that have been undertaken by Library staff and offer a few of our ‘lessons learnt’ as well as a few future plans.
Finally the talk will discuss some of the early results from an institution wide survey of our researchers on their understanding of open access and attitudes to the process. This survey is an expansion of a survey that we ran in 2011 and the results will show whether or not the rapid changes and stronger funder mandates are really helping to win the hearts and minds of our researchers.

The Genesis of a Successful Library Publishing Program – Aisling Coyne, TUDLibraryPublishing
The document summarizes the genesis and development of Technological University Dublin's open access journal publishing program. It describes how the program started in 2008 with their first journal, the International Journal of Applied Social Studies. Since then, the program has expanded to include 11 open access journals across various subject areas that are indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.

The summary highlights the diversity of publications, including student journals, symposium proceedings, and open educational resources.
The document describes the development of an online information literacy resource called Info Skills at the University of East London (UEL). It provides the background, goals, design process, and impact of the resource. The resource was created to provide students with easy to understand guidance on researching their first assignment, with a focus on identifying, finding, and evaluating information. It has been integrated into many level one skills modules at UEL and usage statistics show it is consistently and highly used by students around assignment deadlines.

Excellence: Leading for Library RelevanceJesus Lau
The document discusses strategies for libraries to remain relevant in higher education. It outlines challenges facing universities including limited resources, cost of education, and changing student and faculty needs. It argues that libraries must embrace new roles like becoming "antennas" that support teaching/research wherever it occurs, curating digital information, and embedding librarians in classrooms/labs. The document advocates for principles like user-centered management, digital curation, information fluency training, and collaboration within libraries and across institutions. The overall message is that libraries must adapt to new times and roles in order to continue adding value to their universities.

This document discusses sharing information literacy resources through communities of practice. It summarizes the results of a survey of over 300 librarians which found that the top barriers to using open educational resources were not knowing where to find them, concerns about quality, and resources not being relevant to the subject area. The top motivations for selecting particular resources were reputation of the creator or institution, relevance, and open licensing. Creating an online community and events were proposed to help librarians overcome barriers and advocate for open sharing of resources.
