Slides from a session by Christine Middleton, Head of Academic Library Services, University of Nottingham from the Talis Aspire Open Day 30 October 2013.
Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.
The University of Hertfordshire (UH) implemented a new
commercial Resource Discovery Service at the same time as it
changed to the Koha Open Source Library Management System. In doing so it moved away from using Google Scholar, as its main platform, at a time when many universities are deciding to only use Google Scholar. Hear about the debate between commercial and non-commercial services and why UH made the decisions it did. After 18 months was it the right decision? What has been the impact on library services and library users?
Since October 2015 Stockholm University Library has managed
their journal subscriptions without using a subscription agent.
Instead they renew directly with each publisher. During this
breakout session they will share their experience of doing it
themselves. What are the pros and cons of not using an agent?
Are there cost savings to be had? What about the working hours
spent? And what’s the difference between the first and the second time renewing without an agent?
Janette Burke, Monash University, explores the shift to e, and it doesn't just stand for electronic but engaging, exciting, embracing change, enabling learning.
The presenter will give an overview of how Jisc is supporting
the FE sector with digital resources and licensed content to
support the ongoing changes within this sector.

Status of Non-Government Secondary School Libraries in Bangladesh: A SurveyZakir Hossain/ICS, Zurich
The focus of this survey is to investigate the status of secondary school libraries in Bangladesh. From the online survey, 91 responses were received. In general, the survey revealed that a significant number of secondary schools have a school library but lack of reading materials and inadequate funding are common. Most of the school libraries provide traditional services such as book lending, in-house book and newspaper reading and only a few have ICT facilities and services, for example, computer, internet and online catalogue search. The finding of this survey has original value and suggestions may help to resolve issues that may adversely impact school library development in Bangladesh.
Academic and student experience with reading listsTalis
This document discusses the experiences of four universities - Manchester Metropolitan University, University of West London, University of Queensland, and Deakin University - in implementing the Talis reading list tool. It provides positive feedback from academics and students who found the reading lists easy to use and helpful in accessing required resources. Some challenges mentioned were materials not being included on lists or links not working. Overall, the universities saw benefits to students from having consolidated, electronically accessible reading lists.
This document proposes a partnership between the libraries at Goldsmiths University of London and the University of Johannesburg to enhance professional development and skills exchange. Key aspects include:
- Establishing an online platform for librarians and academics to engage in dialogue on topics related to their practice and service provision.
- Organizing staff exchanges and collaborative workshops on topics of mutual interest to facilitate knowledge sharing across continents.
- Recording discussions for institutional repositories and future training to maximize impact and outcomes of the partnership.
- Replicating the model with other African higher education institutions to connect with broader networks.

The Power of Cross-unit Data Sharing: Nontraditional Uses for ILLiadNASIG
also serves as a data center which can be used to inform and improve the work done in other areas. This session will provide two examples of how ILLiad, an interlibrary loan software, was used to collect and share data with other units to improve workflows and services. At Austin Peay State University, ILLiad data was used to gain a holistic understanding of the information needs of various patron groups, which led to projects like purchasing digital access to resources requested by distance students, identifying collection gaps, purchasing titles repeatedly requested by students, and implementing a faculty buy-not-borrow policy. Similarly, ILLiad was used at Louisiana State University to report electronic resource access issues to the newly hired Electronic Resources Librarian. A year’s worth of data revealed the most common types of access issues impacting LSU’s electronic resources, training opportunities for ILL staff, and most significantly, the revelation that ILL staff and troubleshooters engage in many of the same procedures to carry out their work, prompting her to wonder if the intersection of ILL request processing and troubleshooting present an opportunity for restructuring. Time will be allotted for questions from audience members.

Bridging the Scholarly Resource Gap: The Potentials of Open Access Resources for Academic & Research Purpose during COVID-19
OA Databases, Books, Repositories, Images and Sounds
The document discusses the George Washington University Libraries' process of transitioning to the BIBFRAME metadata model. It involved environmental scans of current data and staffing, a building blocks approach to converting data, extensive staff training over several years, collaborating with other local institutions also transitioning to BIBFRAME, limited programming support, and current work using the BIBFRAME editor and exploring user interfaces. The goal is to fully express bibliographic data in the new model.
This breakout session will introduce a case study covering
the development of Research Data Management services and
systems at King’s College London. The focus will be on researcher engagement and analysis of user requirements – these are activities which are indispensable components in developing systems and services. A question that will be considered is: how can the requirements of other stakeholders such as the university and research funders be met in this process?
Wells future libraries toronto 0501 unswStephen Abram
UNSW Library has undergone significant changes over the past decade in response to the increasing shift to digital resources and online learning. The library abolished subject-specific branches, eliminated front desk and technical services departments, and redesigned library spaces. This has allowed the library to release resources to develop new services focused on research support, like research data management and research publications management. The library is also moving services online and emphasizing self-service options to better serve a large student population in the digital environment. Overall, the changes have positioned the library to redefine its role in supporting research in new ways.

John Mark Ockerbloom, Digital Library Architect and Planner, University of Pennsylvania
The HIKE project aimed to evaluate integrating data between the KB+ knowledge base and local systems, and evaluating Intota as a potential replacement for the traditional library management system. It mapped existing electronic resources workflows and found inefficiencies in dealing with different formats. It tested KB+ and compared it to 360 Resource Manager, finding KB+ better for managing deals. The project recommended next steps including adopting Summon, embedding KB+ and 360 in workflows, and forming an Intota working group.
The LSE, the blogs and the metadata / Helen WilliamsCILIP MDG
The document summarizes a project at the London School of Economics (LSE) Library to add metadata records for 42 current and 8 archived research blogs, as well as 6 partner blogs, to the LSE Research Online repository. Over 11,000 blog posts were added. The project helped the library meet goals around preserving the complete intellectual output of the school and facilitating knowledge exchange and impact. Automating some metadata creation processes reduced the time spent on the work. Analysis found blog downloads were a growing part of repository usage. The library is considering expanding metadata for live blogs and adding DOIs to blog content to improve discovery and assess impact.

This document summarizes Mary Aagard's sabbatical hosting at Boise State University's Albertsons Library. During her sabbatical, Mary worked in both the Access Services and Acquisitions & Collections departments to better understand their workflows and divisions of labor. Pam Kindelberger from Ordering, Interlibrary Loan, and Gifts and Marlena Hooyboer from Receiving & Collections describe their department processes. Both realized benefits of explaining their work to an outsider but also challenges of different terminology. Mary saw value in exposing public services staff to technical services work and finding collaboration opportunities. She proposes continued cross-training to strengthen relationships and succession planning.
Transforming library collections and supporting student learning with collect...NASIG
This presentation discusses how the use of collection mapping transformed outdated and unbalanced print collections at Florida SouthWestern State College into collections directly supporting student learning. A collection map is a data driven picture of specific areas of library collections. This approach differs from past approaches to collection development as it doesn't focus on a breadth of subject areas striving to develop a large collection of many volumes that students could possibly find useful, but rather, considers various factors including program enrollment figures, reference interactions, and course content to develop a collection that contributes to the quality and integrity of academic programs. The presenter will explain methodologies used, including the creation of collection maps, and share results the project has yielded for FSW's Rush Library.
‘Recent trends in research staffing at academic libraries’ - John Cox (Nation...CONUL Conference
This document discusses recent trends in research staffing at academic libraries. It outlines drivers like emphasis on research and digital scholarship that are expanding the scope of library roles. This causes tensions between traditional functions like subject librarians and new specialist roles. Trends include libraries forming new multi-professional teams, expanding throughout the research lifecycle, and focusing on specialisms like digital publishing. The document also describes the model adopted at NUI Galway Library, including replacing subject librarians with functional teams and creating a Digital Publishing Team.
The Research Support Ambassador Programme at Cambridge University aims to increase research support staff's scholarly communication literacy. It does this through a training programme with two strands. The first is workshops and lectures on scholarly communication basics. The second is a group project allowing experiential learning. Feedback led to changes like adding structure, focusing on content, and stronger leadership. This resulted in participants feeling more confident discussing scholarly communication with researchers and an increased ability to communicate between libraries.

The landscape of academic research has changed rapidly in the past decade, with access to high-performance networks, and the focus on data-intensive and interdisciplinary scholarship. Research libraries in North America are developing new services and programs aimed at meeting scholars’ needs for data-intensive, and interdisciplinary research support. Examples of some emerging programs include:
• Supporting digital research (graphical information systems, digital humanities, survey research methodologies, working with large datasets)
• Educating users about copyright and author rights
• Supporting content-creation and publishing activities in numerous ways: institutional repository to store and host works, establishing maker spaces, and developing infrastructure and workflows for more formal library-located publishing efforts
• Collaboration with research offices to educate researchers about federal mandates for open access publications and datasets

This document discusses reading lists at La Trobe University and their implications for student satisfaction and learning. It finds that maximally convenient reading lists that are easily accessible positively impact student satisfaction but may negatively impact students' information literacy skills. The ideal reading list is both maximally convenient and pedagogically robust by providing bibliographic context and transparency about source types and values to support long-term student learning. The future of reading lists may involve improved design, more student/staff feedback, and embracing alternatives while maintaining a focus on pedagogy.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

13. MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF PROFESSOR XXXXXXXX
Please forward to academic staff in your School
Dear Colleague
I am pleased to inform you that during the 2012/13 academic session we are launching a new online reading lists system to UK campuses.
The NSS (Library Sources and Services provision) revealed that significant numbers of students found that access to key resources was
insufficient. The new online system which provides comprehensive reading lists with direct links to the library catalogue will make significant
improvements to library services for students. The new system has been developed by Talis Aspire, the market leader in the provision of online
reading lists, which is in use in over 40 UK institutions.
The key benefits of the new reading list system, which will be accessed via Moodle, are:
·
The facility to easily build and update reading lists online using a simple “drag and drop” function
·
The ability to save resources in one place from a variety of sources, including library catalogues, external websites, journal articles and
multimedia
·
·
11/06/13
The provision of samples of structured lists for ease of use
A visually appealing student interface, with real-time indication of library availability and direct links to online texts and bookseller sites
·
Library staff receive automatic alerts to list amendments to facilitate resource acquisition
Event Name and Venue
Information Services have set up a series of workshops to help academic colleagues to familiarise themselves with the new system. Please
