This presentation discusses open access, institutional repositories, and altmetrics. Open access refers to freely available research online. Institutional repositories allow researchers to self-archive publications, increasing their visibility and impact. Altmetrics are new metrics that measure attention research receives online through social media and other platforms, providing a more comprehensive view of scholarly impact. The presentation encourages researchers to communicate work online and include digital object identifiers to help capture altmetrics.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Fintan Bracken on assessing and maximizing research impact. The presentation defined research impact, outlined methods for measuring impact including bibliometrics, altmetrics and peer review, and provided tips for researchers to increase the visibility and uptake of their work such as publishing in high impact journals, collaboration, open access publishing and use of online profiles and social media. Maximizing impact requires strategic dissemination of research as well as clear identification of authored works.
The document discusses a project at a university library called "Every Seat Counts" which aimed to address the problem of students reserving library seats by leaving personal items on desks when not in use. Observational studies found that a third of students who entered the library in the mornings left within an hour, while many seats remained occupied by unattended belongings. The library implemented patrols by student monitors to remove unattended items after 45 minutes, placing them in a collection box. Surveys found students supported the new policy as it increased seat availability during peak periods. The project helped enforce an existing rule while maintaining a welcoming environment.
This poster describes an innovation put in place at the University of Limerick’s Glucksman Library to counter the student practice of reserving library desks.
This single site study used mixed methods to explore the phenomenon of students reserving library seats, and to measure the impact and effectiveness of an intervention put in place to alleviate the space constraints caused by the practice. The data from focus groups and surveys provides an understanding of the problem before and after the intervention.
The desk clearing initiative described in this study was successful in reducing the practice of seat reserving and thus increasing the availability of seats for use. This research gives library managers practical advice about how to tackle the problem of seat reserving in libraries.
