What Next?
 HEFCE Funding likely to cease in 2015
 Organisations who didn’t join when the
scheme was open have expressed interest
 To figure out the answer:
• Internally: UKRR Member Survey in 2011
• Externally: UKRR Project Review
 A New co-op model

Finally
 Time of change
 Wide range of challenges
 Uncertainties associated with
digital content
 Print: control and absolute
ownership of the content and the
material
 SUNCAT data help us make
informed decisions

Chemistry research contributes greatly to the UK economy, accounting for 21% of GDP and supporting 6 million jobs in 2007 across chemistry-reliant industries valued at £258 billion. Government CASE awards that fund collaboration between academia and industry on research projects are highly valued as they enable researchers to build on fundamental understanding, offer recruitment and transfer opportunities between sectors, and provide low-cost research environments for industry.

Open Access Funding Model for Article Processing charges (APCs) - Leti Kleyn

Academy of Science of South Africa

This document discusses open access publishing and article processing charges (APCs) at the University of Pretoria. It provides background on UP's open access policies and institutional repository containing theses, dissertations and research articles. It analyzes APC spending across UP faculties from 2012-2013, benchmarks other South African university open access funds, and proposes a new UP open access publication fund of R2.9 million for 2014 to cover APCs through their library budget. It acknowledges rising APC costs are unsustainable and discusses alternative approaches to support open access.

Why does TEL matter to Research Libraries? by Dr Paul Ayris, President LIBER,...

The European Library

This document discusses how technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is important for research libraries to remain competitive and support researchers. It notes that UCL library services scores highly in student satisfaction surveys and provides digital resources comparable to other top UK universities. TEL allows libraries to provide open access to vast amounts of linked data and metadata to support discovery and research across institutions. Moving forward, TEL strategies will focus on innovation and serving library communities.

Introduction: Can Scotland be 100% Renewable by 2030? | Susan Roaf

icarb

This document provides information about an event called the "Scotland 2030 Backcasting" that will take place on March 12th, 2014. It is sponsored by the Energy Technology Partnership and the Climate Exchange. The event will involve a discussion of three possible renewable energy visions for Scotland in 2030: a UK-centric vision, a Scotland alone vision, and a local autarky vision. Presentations on each vision will be given in the morning, followed by breakout groups to further discuss the visions and then report back to the full group in the afternoon. The goal is to backcast and discuss pathways to achieve 100% renewable energy in Scotland by 2030.

Portuguese scientific output on Web of Science and on Scopus: a comparative ...

Teresa Costa

The document analyzes Portuguese scientific output in Web of Science and Scopus databases between 2000-2010. It finds the number of articles indexed from Portuguese universities increased annually in both databases. The University of Porto, the largest university studied, had the most articles indexed. There was a tendency for greater growth in Scopus, which provides 20% more coverage of Portuguese research than Web of Science. Availability of resources through the b-on consortium likely contributed to higher research productivity at universities.

Jon Sussex: Capacity, choice and private ownership

Nuffield Trust

1. NHS-funded hip replacements increased by 40% between 2003-2011, with the independent sector providing 62% of the additional procedures. 2. Growth was faster when an independent sector provider was located nearer to the patient than the nearest NHS provider. 3. Some patients who previously would have paid privately switched to NHS-funded care at independent sector providers, resulting in some deadweight loss to taxpayers.

JCKL Budget Crunch

Carol Smith

The summary discusses the fiscal challenges facing the James C. Kirkpatrick Library (JCKL) at maintaining its materials budget and services. It notes that the library has not received a budget increase since 2006, leading to cuts in databases, monographs, and potential additional cuts going forward if no budget relief is provided. Recommendations include a 13% base budget increase of $180,000 for materials, and various increases for operations and new programs to support the university's accreditation.

Kit catalogue

JISC Netskills

The document describes Kit-Catalogue, an open source online system developed by Loughborough University to catalog valuable equipment and make assets findable, useful, and accessible. The system allows staff, students, and others to search an inventory of over 800 pieces of specialized equipment across departments and institutions to access items like 3D printers and electron microscopes without needing to purchase their own. Installing Kit-Catalogue at other institutions could maximize sharing and reuse of equipment while reducing costs and environmental impacts from duplicated purchases and facilities.

ENERGISE partners + synopsis

Charlotte Louise Jensen

ENERGISE is a project that aims to support Europe's transition to a decarbonized energy system through understanding factors influencing individual and collective energy choices. It will comprehensively cover energy consumption across the European Union by classifying energy initiatives in 30 countries. This information will inform the design and rollout of two Living Labs in eight countries to reduce household energy use. The Living Labs will test innovative yet culturally sensitive tools and methods to change energy consumption behaviors at individual and community levels. ENERGISE seeks to provide decision-makers with effective measures to green and reduce energy use through social science research focused on the socioeconomic, cultural, political and gender dimensions of the energy transition.
