Abstract
This session will provide delegates with an overview of the digital research landscape, an introduction to tools and resources to tame the landscape, the opportunity to consider the skillsets required in the context of their own workplace, and an introduction to the research technologist manifesto. Please bring a mobile device (and your Eduroam password) to contribute to this interactive session.
Researchers increasingly need to understand a multitude of topics including digital copyright, impact, altmetrics, communications, social media, research data management and sharing, open access, infographics, video, animation and mobile apps. Yet all too often they have little time, support or encouragement to explore these topics and have they need to make informed judgements on the most appropriate technologies.
For decades skilled LIS professionals have provided researchers with excellent services around collection management, content curation and discovery, critical appraisal and reference management. More recently they have stepped into new areas of support and applied their knowledge around social media, metrics, scholarly communications and research data management. Given that the modern LIS professional is adept of working across platforms, good at problem solving and the use of new technologies, are they positioned to guide and work alongside researchers as research technologists?

A Revolution in Open Science: Open Data and the Role of Libraries (Professor ...LIBER Europe
This talk was given by Prof. Geoffrey Boulton of the University of Edinburgh at LIBER's 42nd annual conference in Munich. Here is a brief summary: "The data storm that has been unleashed by novel means of data acquisition, manipulation and their instantaneous communication have posed both great challenges and opportunities for science. The challenge is to maintain scientific self-correction, which depends on concurrent publication of concepts and the underlying evidence. The opportunity is to exploit massive and complex data volumes in creating new knowledge. Both are non-trivial tasks. The former requires ‘intelligent openness‘."
"The latter requires new ways of thinking and new forms of collaboration, which make major demands on scientists, their institutions, those that fund science and those who publish it. Open access publishing is important, but open data is fundamental to scientific progress."
"In a post-Gutenberg era, can the library maintain its historic role as an efficient repository of scientific knowledge? Can it provide support for the creation of new knowledge? What responsibilities should it discharge, and how? What skills are required by those discharging the library function? And how do we achieve a realisable objective, of having all the publications online, all the data online, and for the two to be interoperable?"

Current research is driven by huge developments due to internet and digital disruptions. Democratization of education has opened up new vistas for doing research. It is essential to remain visible.
The search for early signs of important changes and themes in education, technology and society occupy a number of people scattered over the globe every year when producing the NMC Horizon Report (http://www.nmc.org). A scan of the horizon reveals signals and can provide foresight to support current challenges in research, innovation, policy and practice. Some of the challenges are more or less well-understood but where solutions remain elusive; others are wicked challenges - complex to even define. David will discuss techniques, outcomes and tactical insight in the field of near future work.

The research library: scalable efficiency and scalable learninglisld
As research libraries are being reconfigured in a network environment, two important trends are emerging. The first is to accelerate the sharing of infrastructure, either through collaborative services or with third party providers. The second is to engage more deeply with the research and learning processes of their campuses. As research and learning processes themselves change, the research library has to respond and this makes being responsive and open to learning very important.
Could Artificial Intelligence help us communicate research better?Andy Tattersall
My invited talk at the CILIP UKeiG AGM
There’s much we do not yet know about the impact of AI within academia, it offers both opportunities and threats. One potential benefit could be in the area of research dissemination, but that is not without potential hazards. Academics and aligned specialists, including library and information professionals all have a vested interest in the communication of new knowledge. The barrier to this often comes down to the triple threat of time, money and expertise - AI might be able to help with that.
In his presentation Andy will explore some of the opportunities to employ AI to help disseminate research using digital technologies and AI but also investigate what threats lie under the surface.
Altmetrics - if you look beyond the numbers, you’ll find meaningAndy Tattersall
Slides from my UKSG talk for the event: Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar
Altmetrics or alternative indicators of scholarly interest can tell us a lot about research and how it is being received beyond the traditional citation and impact factor scores, that much we know. But what else can altmetrics tell us about our research world, especially producing the outputs, communicating them and what opportunities can we leverage from all of this? We’re not yet using altmetrics to their full potential but in the course of this short talk Andy will provide a few insights on how we can make better use of this data to gain a better grasp and understanding of our scholarly world.

Technology has all the answers – but we have to start thinking about whether we’re asking the right questions
Technology disruption has impacted on the library and information profession more than most organisation sectors. It has created a wealth of opportunities to improve how we carry out our work, it has also brought with it a lot of threats and highlighted weaknesses. We now have a myriad of digital tools to help us help others but do we know what they really want given the wide choice of solutions? Within the learning technology community they never stray too far away from pedagogical theory as to why a technology is adopted to help with teaching. Library and information specialists need to take leaf from that book and ask questions when adopting a new tool for teaching, research and dissemination. In this presentation Andy will discuss some of those questions and hopefully give a few answers.
Staying afloat in a sea of technological change - Business Librarians Associa...Andy Tattersall
Librarians and information professionals are increasingly tied to technology and the challenges that come with it. As a result technology is seen as an ever important part of their role, whether they like it or not. Librarians champion digital literacy and citizenship, social media, internet privacy and equal access to knowledge across the web. Their roles are ever supported by a myriad of technologies that can solve the most niche or universal of problems. Technology adds power to the librarian’s skill set, but it also comes with caveats and pitfalls. What technology is best for the job, how do you find out about them and what are the implications for their use, such as security, longevity and support. To be a library and information professional in the digital age means you have to pay heed to these issues. This means a combination of the right skills, flexibility and an acceptance you may fail at times. They say you should never work with children and animals, at times it feels like should apply to technology. It can be unpredictable, challenging and disruptive - but these are all scenarios that librarians are well used to. They have the right skill sets and the purpose of this keynote will be to guide library professionals how to navigate the very rough seas of technology and find new and exciting opportunities.
New research needs to be better reported and librarians can help with that Andy Tattersall
New research needs to be better reported and librarians can help with that
Scientific research is increasingly being given coverage and attention in the media. The problem is that the media often fail to acknowledge who actually carried out the research and link to a publicly available version of that work or institute. This can lead to misreporting (sometimes intentional) and biased news coverage. Whilst academics, collaborators and institutions do not get the credit they deserve. As the REF and impact agenda become increasingly more important, so does the accurate reporting and collection of such impact, through such as altmetrics and media monitoring. Without citing and linking back to the work it becomes harder to track as a story takes on a life of its own through social media and reposts. Linking to the research makes it harder to misreport or cherry pick facts and stats as interested parties are able to check the facts for themselves. At a time when we have been told ‘people have had enough of experts’ and world leaders denouncing scientific fact, proper and accurate reporting of research has never mattered more. There are a few important things librarians can do to support the better reporting of research through encouraging linking to the open access versions and exploring how research is received through altmetrics. This talk will explore the issue and what can be done to tackle it.

Abstract
Do you feel overwhelmed and distracted by all of the emails, text messages, website and social media updates, likes, pings, pokes, snapchats? Two things are certain, you are not alone and those distractions are not going to go away unless you get a handle on them. As the amount of content we generate on the web continues to grow at a rapid pace and we look to make better use of our time, personally and professionally, Andy Tattersall will show you some of the ways you can do to take back control. All you need is willpower and a terrible wifi connection.

• What skills are needed?
• Where can these be obtained?
• Recent discussions around academic library skill sets and
future roles (see Further Resources)
• Where should we be located? (Does it matter?)
16. The research technologist manifesto
For decades skilled LIS professionals have provided researchers with excellent services around collection management,
content curation and discovery, critical appraisal and reference management. More recently they have stepped into new
areas of support and applied their wealth of knowledge around social media, altmetrics, scholarly communications and
research data management. All of this requires a good working knowledge of research practices and technologies.
Importantly it also requires knowledge of research office culture - something which can be difficult if based at arm’s
length in a centralised department.
Researchers increasingly need to understand a multitude of topics including digital copyright, impact, altmetrics,
communications, social media, research data management and sharing, open access, infographics, video, animation
and mobile apps. Yet all too often they have little time, support or encouragement to explore these topics within their
own departments. With what limited time they do have they need to make informed judgements on the growing
number of technologies and tools to employ. As we have seen with the development of learning technologists to guide
teachers through the myriad of new technologies, is it not time that a new role was created - that of the research
technologist or digital academic specialist?
Given that the modern research LIS professional is adept of working across platforms, good at problem solving and the
use of new technologies that they are well equipped to fill such a role. Many already have the skillsets for such a role that
includes superb networking, horizon scanning, teaching and training skills as well as the ability to solve a diverse set of
evolving problems. Whilst embedded into faculties and departments, all of this can then be supported by the central LIS
specialist roles around journal, research data, open access, scholarly communications to ensure a better connection
between researcher and the 21st Century research cycle.
19. Where LIS Professionals can help
• Scholarly communications (infographics, social media, video
creation)
• Research data management (RDM plan, hosting, sharing)
• Analysis (altmetrics, traditional metrics, capturing impact)
• Forming an online identity (digital literacy, information
management, social media)
• Horizon scanning (working with champions and interested
parties to explore new technologies and ideas)
20. Prescribing a Digital Technology
• You need to understand why you are taking it
• You need to understand the benefits
• You need to understand the side-effects
• You need to understand that the benefits may take time
• You may need two courses
• You may need a different intervention
• Do not feel pressured to use it - as it won’t work
22. Issues around supporting research technologies
• Duplication of platforms
• Issues relating to third party software - support, data
security
• Hybrid platforms (Mendeley and Figshare both host
data, Research Professional and Mendeley both
promote funding sources)
• Limited time for personal research and development
• Technologies can come and go
• Users have different needs/levels of technical
competencies
