organisations within Europe. As part of its ambition to make
Open Scholarship work, the Knowledge Exchange has developed
a Framework for Open Scholarship. This sets out the different
phases in the research life cycle against a variety of perspectives
that present barriers/challenges for Science/Scholarship to
be open, at the same time acknowledging that there are many
levels of stakeholders, reaching from individual researchers to
institutions to national governments. In this talk the presenters
will explain the partnership and share their recent report and
current work around Open Scholarship.

Universities and colleges are required to make data returns to regulatory bodies; they also need to manage systems and information across their organisation and beyond to support research management, course admissions, finance and much more.
Data centric approaches can help to make these processes more efficient and reduce burdens on institutions. To achieve this, the use of standards is key. There are now initiatives that are helping, for example the Higher Education Data and Information Improvement Programme (HEDIIP) and the Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI).
We explain these initiatives and their approaches and offer delegates the chance to learn about them. Jisc is working with HEDIIP and CASRAI to help to improve data and information interoperability – what does this mean to you? How can you get involved?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
Embrace change and make it work in favour of the needs of the university
The library services should be an integrated part of the system of scholarly communications
The digitization changes the fundament of scholarly communication. During the last ten years the means of communication have changed profoundly among students and researchers. If the library do not adjust, we will be redundant. The change can even be fruitful if we embrace it:
We have focused on how the library could meet the digitization with a infrastructure that facilitate Open science, for example:
Even if the digital publishing have come with rising subscription costs within the traditional publishing paradigm, new possibilities have also arrived through for example lowered costs by Print on Demand, cheaper methods for marketing and dissemination, Open access policies and thereby opened up for a new publishing paradigm run by the researchers themselves (w support from for example libraries), ).
Given the ambition of the University management of Stockholm University to encourage a closer relationship between the administration and the faculty, the special position of the library was abunden. In steps the library has been integrated into the administration. Its dedicated board was removed and strategic questions were moved to the advisory board of the vice chancelor. The last change mentioned, have resulted in:
A closer relationship to the university management as well as our users
A more adequate context for dialouge and input to various decisions of change and development
A closer relationship to other sections of the university involved in support of scholarly communication
The aim is to provide researcher and students with what they need regardless of where it could be found. A shift of focus from our own catalouge to the needs of our users
This aim has led to a change of strategy for acquisition and a shift to e as standard/default
Open Access publishing include the services delivered by Stockholm University Press, a dissertation support as well as assistance regarding informally reviewed publishing. Our research data project is in an exploratory phase including national and international collaboration. The initiative taken by the library in these areas has resulted in an official assignment from the University management to take a lead in exploring an coordinating all efforts at the university regarding the transition towards open science.
We have also invested in legal competence specialized in copy right due to increasing needs of advice in OA-publishing and Text and Data Mining
The only thing that has remained unchanged at the library is our budget. We have even been able to hand back some money.
The budget has been the same for several years at the same time as acqisition costs, rents and salaries have been rising. In practice that even means that we have a shrinking inflow of money. Instead of asking for more money we have focused on other ways of coping, in the sense of reorganizing. As we have started to do new things we have also stopped doing other things.
Investment in communications In order to enhance the dialouge with our users. The image most users had about the library was no longer adequate. We then also needed to verbalize to ourselves, what the library is now, what the library might be in future. As well as why and for whom? Clear vision, purpose and goal
Outside in perspective in better balance with our inside out perspective
Try out in small pilots instead of long discussions, drawing the map and walking at the same time. Short and quick cycles in order to be able to adjust direction when needed
4. From instructing leadership to an encouragement of independent decision making, stimulationg our co workers to internalize the leadership in order to be more independent. The leader points out the direction but leave to coworker to solve HOW the work is to be done.
5. Not replacing empty posts and creating new ones
6. Adjust our premises for the benefit of our students and on behalf of single rooms to employees
What we have done could be described as catalyzing change of work place culture. We wanted to move from a hieracical organization to a flat one. With that followed:
1. To make understandable and logical why we wanted to change stuff that has been working well for a long time?
2. The general interests of the library/university is not always in line with the interests of the individual coworker/researcher (f ex some of the changes have given a totally new workingssituation for some of our librarians)
3. It is about a paradigm shift = mutual understanding from the perspectives from different paradigms is not possible, instead the road is paved with misunderstandings and potential conflicts
1.The change of balance has benefited a userdriven perspective
2. We feel rather secure in that what we do is needed and appreciated
3. Been in a position to experiment with infrastructure and open source
