Caroline Mackay Jisc CollectionsJisc Collections would like to take this opportunity to review with participants our future strategy for e-textbooks which is currently under development. We will discuss and share our strategy for e-textbook affordability with you during the session and welcome your input based on your own experiences. This strategy, based on evidence from previous pilots, covers a multiple of areas that we will concentrate on over the next three years, including inclusive or 1:1 access, courseware, open textbooks and OER, while sharing experiences with our international consortia colleagues who are also working in this e-textbook area. This workshop will be of interest to anyone involved in licensing e-textbooks.
Intermediaries between publishers and libraries consist of agents and aggregators. Each faces a future which will include considerably more open access content, as well as prevalent open source technologies. Library vendors must embrace both, and help solve problems for academic libraries. Libraries also face challenges: information discovery, inaccuracy of links, a lack of curation in many commercial products, managing open access workflows, keeping track of titles moving into and out of packages, integration between systems from different vendors, etc. These challenges are actually opportunities for vendors who are listening, willing and planning to exist in the future.
Bernie Folan Bernie Folan Research and ConsultingIn 2017 a research project was undertaken uncovering librarians’ messages to publishers. The anonymous survey resulted in over 600 free-text messages which were coded, analysed and shared via a UKSG lightning talk, an Insightsarticle as well as other written pieces. Responding to demand, the reverse of this research project has now been undertaken – collecting publisher messages to librarians. The aim is to uncover prevalent attitudes, challenges and questions – from differing publisher roles – to build communication and understanding. This session will present analysed findings and invite discussion of recurrent or unexpected themes

Presentation for the Narma Workshop: An introduction to metrics and their use - turning data into intelligence. http://narma.no/narma-kurs/workshop-an-introduction-to-metrics-and-their-use-turning-data-into-intelligence/
Sinds de publicatie van het “Altmetrics manifesto” door Jason Priem en de zijnen heeft dit onderwerp een grote vlucht genomen. In het huidige bibliometrics landschap krijgt het onderzoek naar andere mogelijkheden om impact van publicaties en onderzoek te meten een prominente plaats. Tegenwoordig willen onderzoekers niet alleen maar beoordeeld worden op basis van Impact Factoren en versterken zij de roep om alternatieve methoden om impact te beoordelen. In het kader van onderzoeksondersteuning kunnen bibliotheken in dit domein een nieuwe en belangrijke rol spelen. In deze sessie worden de ontwikkelingen tegen het licht gehouden en sterke en zwakke punten blootgelegd. Tijdens de workshop wordt ingegaan op de verschillende indicatoren voor het bepalen van de impact van tijdschriften, artikelen, onderzoeksgroepen en onderzoekers. Tools, methoden en het laatste onderzoek komen aan bod.
The format for the data management plans for PhD students at Wagenigen UR explained. This format was developed by the library in cooperation with the Wageningen Graduate Schools.
Social media are important for scientists to let the world know whet they are doing. It is essential to communicate with scientists and the general public. It enhances their scientific relevance as well as their societal relevance
Marketing for scientists become more and more important. The key asset of a scientist is their publication list. How do you make your list publicaly available?

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

The library and the Publisher
1. The publisher and the library II
Wouter Gerritsma, Wageningen UR Library
2. How does the library view the pubishers?
We, as librarians, do our utmost best to make sure that
the resources we buy and licensed are used to the max.
We are constantly marketing publishers products to our
patrons and we can use all support to make this happen,
but
● In cooperation
● On our terms
9. Ranking of publishing houses
For tenure track
For membership of graduate schools
● WASS/Sense ranking
Brill ranks?
We do receive requests from scholars/publishers to
be upgraded.
Transfer some activities to another imprint, focus on a
AA quality brand. Make clear it is all peer reviewed
content.
10.
11.
12. Future of bibliographies
Budget cuts will hit secondary sources more than
primary sources
Smaller, specialised a&i databases will disappear
Discovery tools aren't the final answer yet
General a&i databases still have a future, but
● Bigger is better
● Fulltext will become a competitive edge
● Additional services
Citations are a prerequisite (crucial perhaps?)
Google Scholar, Scopus or WoS?
20. What about copyrights?
"Stichting Pro"
Universities have had significant fines
Scholars become more aware
More inquiries about educational materials
21. What about e-books
There is not yet a single succesfull e-book platform yet
Publishers have unsustainable models
● Big deals for e-books ?
● First to buy 25 books, subsequent per book?
● What about o-books?
● Pick and choose is important, preferably patron
acquisition
● We need e-text books
Publishers&libraries need to do business re-engineering
(again)
22. Metrics
Metrics are essential in collection decisions
We look at downloads and costs/download
● journals
● e-books
● paper books?
No absolute criteria
