Kristi Holmes discusses how outreach is a critical intersection of libraries and technology. Outreach requires a grassroots approach and benefits from technology. Medical libraries play an important role in connecting various groups through information resources, library services, education, and more. Researcher networking tools like VIVO enable collaboration and discovery across institutions by providing structured linked data about researchers' interests and activities. Libraries are well-positioned to facilitate researcher networking and help advance science through tools that consume these rich semantic data.
Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility ...Eileen Shepherd
[This presentation is based on my previous presentation, of the same title, at the LIASA 2014 conference. It was presented as a webinar for LIASA Higher Education Libraries Interest Group on 6/11/2014]
Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research, such as journal impact factors and article citations, have been supplemented in the past 5-10 years by the development of altmetrics (alternative metrics or article level metrics). Altmetrics measures impact of research, data and publications, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media. This presentation gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution.

Remapping the Global and Local in Knowledge Production: Roles of Open AccessLeslie Chan
It is generally acknowledged that researchers and institutions in the Global South suffer from knowledge isolation because of poor infrastructure and lack of access to key resources, including the current literature. The remedy is therefore capacity building and the transfer of not only knowledge, but also the institutional framework of knowledge creation from the North to the South. In this context, Open Access to the scholarly literature is seen as a means of bridging the global knowledge gap.
In this presentation, I argue that a key contributor to the continual knowledge divide and the invisibility of knowledge from the Global South is the persistence and dominance of Northern frameworks of research evaluation and quality metrics, coupled with outmoded national and international innovation policies based on exclusion and competitiveness. These narrow measures have tended to skew international research agenda and undermine locally relevant research.
A great opportunity that Open Access provides is the means to develop alternative metrics of research uptake and impact that are more inclusive of knowledge from the South, particularly those with development outcomes. In particular, it is important to re-conceptualize and re-design the metrics of research impact to reflect new scholarly practices and the diverse means of engagement enabled by OA and the new wave of social media tools. At the same time, appropriate policies need to be developed to reward open scholarship and to encourage research sharing — issues of particular importance for ending knowledge isolation. Examples of the new kinds of “invisible college” enabled by networking tools and OA will be presented, and particular attention will be paid to innovations emanating from the periphery.

The needs of researchers in key disciplines are changing rapidly and this has important implications for the library’s role in enhancing research productivity and impact.
Librarians can build a roadmap for supporting 21st Century research needs that draws on both published research sources and institution-specific user research. Several key trends from recent studies and ideas for institution-specific user research tools are highlighted within.

Understanding impact through alternative metrics: developing library-based as...Kristi Holmes
There’s never been a more critical need to better understand the impact of research efforts. The challenging state of funding models (1) and an enhanced pressure on young investigators to stand out from the crowd magnify this need as well as the perceived value of locally based impact services. These services are leveraged by a diverse range of stakeholders, from individuals to university-level decision makers and strategists. Individuals often wish to better demonstrate impact of published works to promotion committees or describe the impact of research studies to funding agencies when applying for funding or complying with institution-level or federal reporting exercises. Research groups, departments, and institutions often wish to discover how research findings are being used to promote science and gain a better overall view of research publications and outputs.
Libraries are particularly well poised to meet the need to understand a more nuanced view of impact. Libraries are trusted, neutral parties with a tradition of service and support and often act as technology hubs on campus with IT and data expertise. Librarians are trained information professionals with information and searching skills and a keen understanding of the research, education, clinical landscape of their institution. This presentation will discuss general trends in the field, including an overview of resources, assessment frameworks and tools; strategies for partnering with stakeholders; and examples of library based service models, from basic services to highly integrated library-based core research units.

Linked Data Love: research representation, discovery, and assessment
#ALAAC15
The explosion of linked data platforms and data stores over the last five years has been profound – both in terms of quantity of data as well as its potential impact. Research information systems such as VIVO (www.vivoweb.org) play a significant role in enabling this work. VIVO is an open source, Semantic Web-based application that provides an integrated, searchable view of the scholarly activities of an organization. The uniform semantic structure of VIVO-ISF data enables a new class of tools to advance science. This presentation will provide a brief introduction and update to VIVO and present ways that this semantically-rich data can enable visualizations, reporting and assessment, next-generation collaboration and team building, and enhanced multi-site search. Libraries are uniquely positioned to facilitate the open representation of research information and its subsequent use to spur collaboration, discovery, and assessment. The talk will conclude with a description of ways librarians are engaged in this work – including visioning, metadata and ontology creation, policy creation, data curation and management, technical, and engagement activities.

12. Researcher Networking
What is it?
Ideal role for libraries
• Information organization, instruction, usability, subject
expertise, ontologies and controlled vocabularies
• Have a tradition of service and support
• Strive to serve all missions of the institution
• Have close, trusted relationships with our clients
• Understand user needs
• Understand the importance of collaboration and know
how to bring people together
• Have knowledge of institution, research, education,
technology, and clinical landscapes

13. Researcher Networking and the
Semantic Web
• Increasing recognition of the value of semantic web
standards
• Increasing momentum in support of semantic web
technologies to facilitate research discovery
• Recommendations for researcher networking recently
endorsed by the CTSA Consortium Steering Committee
represent a new standard in researcher networking.

People like to consume information on their terms, on their schedule, and in a manner that “works” for them.
Notice the direction of the message, traditional activities and services which libraries are well-known for.
Enhanced services – becoming more prominent at a number of libraries – e-science support, research support/consultations by subject specialists, clinical informatics, tracking and evaluation activities, impact

What is Researcher Networking?Why Libraries?
ONTOLOGY SUPPORTS A VARIETY OF OUTPUTS AND MODES OF DISSEMINATIONVIVO enables collaboration and understanding across an institution and among institutionsVIVO harvests much of its data automatically from verified sources so it is accurate and current, reducing the need for manual input.The rich information in VIVO profiles can be repurposed and shared with other institutional web pages and consumers, reducing cost and increasing efficiencies across the institution. Data is housed and maintained at the local institutions. There it can be updated on a regular basis. Search results are faceted so information can be located rapidly and with less time spent sorting through information.Profiles are largely created via automated data feeds, but can be customized to suit the needs of the individual.Profiles are richer in content than typical [web pages or] social networking sites and will rank higher in general internet searches. Each institution provides its own VIVO system and data. Local governance determines data to be provided.
Across institutions VIVO provides a uniform semantic structure to enable a new class of tools using the data to advance science. visualizations, search, discovery, etc
DEEP SEMANTIC SEARCHWhile searches for people are an obvious requirement for researcher networking, we don't want to limit ourselves to searching for people. VIVO's ontology-based data model is not limited to profiles of people, but includes organizations, events, publications, grants, and many other types of data. This enables VIVO to represent the relationships among people and other types of data as an interconnected network that can be accessed in many ways.
