when it was dealing with physical objects, where the issues of distribution and access are not quite so complex. Now the issues at play include access, costs, rights and
funding. At the same time, the demand for some of what we have seen as the core purposes
of librarianship is dropping.</span>

responsibility to the host institution (including local patrons and their needs) with our drive to work
and interact globally? The time and money we spend are hours and budget
we can’t spend on something else; he gave examples of Big Deals, OA program memberships,
OA mandates, APC subventions, ILL vs. short-term loan etc.</span>

balance now? We have to then assess alignment (how does it fit our institution’s goals?);
address disparity (by talking to those linke the provost/VP who have a say in goals etc.); and consider influencing the institutional
mission/culture to reflect our own; if feasible, one can create a strategy for doing so; if not, one will need to realign
library to fit with the institutional goals.</span><br />

revolutionaries are (usually) freelance; however, the immovable fact is that the university library is
not freelance. Therefore, clarifying what that means for all us and for the mission of librarians is absolutely imperative.</span><br />

It didn’t take long for data, the
lifeblood of research, to enter the conversation at UKSG. The future of data
management and publication was raised early and often by both delegates and
speakers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The first morning, Geoffrey
Boulton of the University of Edinburgh and chair of the Royal Society working
group <a href="https://royalsociety.org/policy/projects/science-public-enterprise/Report/">Science
As An Open Enterprise</a> made a convincing case for the importance of open
data. Boulton reminded the assembled audience that laying open proof of your
experiments has been a tenet of the foundations of research since the 1800s,
but that in recent years this has exploded. Boulton published a paper in <i>Nature</i> in the 1980s which presented just
seven data points behind glaciological theory; nowadays a paper is just as
likely to have millions of data points sitting behind it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Boulton posited that big data,
and data modelling offers huge opportunities to academics, but that to
capitalise on these opportunities properly we need a system of sharing. Often,
data isn’t shared due to concerns about privacy, safety, security, or for
legitimate commercial concerns, but Boulton argued that publishers and funders
should be mandating ‘intelligently open data’ and that libraries should be
re-skilling to meet this demand. It should be librarian’s role to help make
data discoverable and accessible, as part of a wider data ecosystem. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
In a fascinating seminar, Ben
Ryan from the EPSRC talked through the reasoning behind the RCUK data
principles, the <a href="http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/principles/">EPSRC
research data principles</a>, and how they will be implemented practically. He
emphasised that the research councils see sharing data as a legitimate use of
research budgets, and that sharing data should be the default, whenever
possible. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Research organisations should
have the primary responsibility for ensuring researchers manage their data
effectively, but that it should be considered ‘research malpractice’ not to
make your data open – “We’ve gone past the days when scientists could be
trusted simply because they were scientists”, he said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">When it comes to publishing data, my colleague Iain <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Hrynaszkiewicz from Nature Publishing Group gave a
lightning talk charting the rise of the data journal. <i>Scientific Data</i> is one such journal<a href="file:///C:/Users/Amy.Bourke/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/ZQMB2RR2/Open%20data%20at%20UKSG%20geb%20(2).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
which aims to incentivise researchers to share their data by providing a
citable output, linked to the original data stored in subject-specific
repositories or broad repositories such as figshare or Dryad. The Data
Descriptor (the article type published by <i>Scientific
Data</i>) was designed in collaboration with the academic community </span><span style="background: rgb(240, 241, 243);">to make data more discoverable, interpretable and reusable. It ensures
that data isn’t forgotten and hidden away in the supplementary material to an
article, but is published for the world to see. Data Descriptors also aid in
reproducibility, ensuring that the methods for gathering data and conducting
research are laid open for others to potentially follow and recreate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: rgb(240, 241, 243);"><span style="background-color: white;">It’s often said that
open access is a journey, not a destination, and the same must be true of open
data. No talk about open access, discoverability or reproducibility could fail
to mention its importance, and no doubt librarians will have a growing role in
the years to come in educating their clients and in facilitating open data. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<o:p> </o:p><i style="text-align: center;">Speaker: Geoffrey Boulton</i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>By: Neeshe Khan<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“<i>Science should be
open and not closed behind lab doors</i>” was the concluding sentence of
Geoffrey Boulton’s talk <i>Open data and the
future of science</i> which received a resounding applause. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The talk began with Henry Oldenburg’ correspondence, the
first Secretary of the Royal Society who exchanged letters with scientists
discussing the quality of manuscripts prior to publishing- the very beginning of
peer review. But perhaps more importantly, one of the requirements for
publication was that the concept being proposed by the scientist was to be
published with the data. This open communication of data between scientists and
the public not only revolutionized science at the time but formed a basis of
scientific progress ever since. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Currently, sharing large data files accompanying articles
can be problematic which in turn can result in a lack of replicability and
credibility of the concept being proposed. However, it is fundamental that a
published concept must be supported by and printed alongside its metadata for
science to progress, even if it is by way of disproving. In the words of
Charles Darwin when referring to disproving a concept, “…one path towards error
is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sharing of metadata is also of crucial for us to be able
to link data in an intelligent way that supports an in-depth understanding.
With the advancement in technologies and access to data we are able to solve progressively
complex problems and produce solutions. We are also able to make increasingly
accurate predictions (for example weather forecasts which are then re-evaluated
in context of reality to increase accuracy for future predictions) and due to
the technological advancements the data that is gathered is ever more complex,
sophisticated, and factual. Sharing this data will allow science to move from
“simplicity” to complexity and from uncoupled systems to highly coupled systems
with iterative integration. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This leads to the bigger question of how to extract
meaningful knowledge and information from the “Big Data” that is collated to
seize the opportunities above, as opposed to the ethos of sharing the data
itself. Bearing in mind that deductions from Big Data would make a lot of conventional
analytics invalid, for Big Data to be effectively exploited it is imperative to
move beyond the current notions of openness and start with “intelligent
openness”. This means that the data, metadata and software must be
discoverable, accessible, understandable, assessable and reusable, and catered
to its respective audience (scientists, citizen scientists or the public)
whilst maintaining certain boundaries such as privacy, safety, security, dual
use and legitimate commercial interests. And in order to make sense of this
intricate, complicated data, imagine a black box that churns out visualizations
of a string of mathematical equations for instance. This “black box” is then a
source of numerous difficult questions like “who owns the back box?” “What is
the human role?” “Who has access to this box?” “Can we analyse and scrutinize
what is in the black box?” and “What does it mean to be a researcher in a data
intensive age?” etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
But how do we adopt this infrastructure of highly coupled
systems which are supported by iterative integration and intelligent openness? Historically
this used to be under the remit of the library but recently adaptability has
been driven by the changing technology (and thus the evolving job roles). There
are now also many organizations and institutes alongside the Library that assist
with the Library’s efforts to collect, organize, and to preserve knowledge, making
it accessible and dissipating it to the wider group (for example the efforts of
The Royal Society). However the responsibility of facilitating this
infrastructure lies with a range of groups, from scientists, universities,
funders of research, Publishers, learned societies to the government & EU.
Currently, although science is universal it is carried out within a
jurisdiction. For this infrastructure science needs to transcend borders,
supported by a shift in scientists’ thinking towards sharing data and
information to achieve and share scientific progress. In essence, science has
been and will be the driver for societies to develop and progress and thus
science now, more than ever before, needs to be open and not closed behind lab
doors.<o:p></o:p></div>

of Liverpool) and Anthony Cond (Liverpool University Press), which is very much
about partnership, so they talked together (with some interjections!) and not separately.<br />
<br />
The relationship between librarians and publishers is like that of a dog and a lamp post, with each thinking the other is a dog, i.e. it is problematic! Obligatory Beatles references - uses Beatles lyrics to relate librarians and publishers ("You never give Me your money", "Money can't buy you love"). Neither relationship is terribly healthy, so why would you want to collaborate?<br />
<br />
University of Liverpool is in a strong position to support and enhance
scholarly communication because it has everything in-house: a library AND a Press, and
teachers, researchers, readers, the Centre for Lifelong Learning, the Computer Services Department, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>What forms might collaboration take?</b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>LUP Library Advisory Board</b></li>
</ul>
- discussion forum - came together to talk;<br />
- ideas for collaboration;<br />
- an anthropological study;<br />
- questions often lead to further questioning of
their own processes.<br />
<ul>
<li><b> Modern Languages Open</b> </li>
</ul>
This was the first fruit of their collaboration.<br />
<ul>
<li>Available as Gold OA under CC-BY or CC-BY-NC licence</li>
<li>Rigorous peer review pre-publication and offers interactivity post-publication</li>
<li>Wide and broad disciplines across modern languages</li>
<li>Flexible, e. word count 3-1500 words</li>
<li>Rewards for article reviewers</li>
<li>Author funding for early career publishing academics</li>
<li>International dissemination</li>
<li>Library invested in the journal platform and gave feedback. It has been very well received.</li>
</ul>
<b>Collaborate on monographs?</b><br />
They have decided not to as it is expensive, a challenging format, and not the most useful thing for the University of Liverpool. They may experiment with monographs in future.<br />
<br />
<b>Collaborate on e-textbooks?</b><br />
<br />
Students expect every book on a reading list to be available in the library. In reality it isn't. Only 81-82% of reading lists are available. Also students want book stock to be
increased and kept up-to-date; more computers in library, and
more help and direction in the library.<br />
Why not create e-textbooks tailored to their courses, with possible cohorts within the university being: the humanities department, small departments, management and law departments? This is where Jisc came in - with a funding call for e-textbook creation by HEI, to explore personalised learning and the tension existing between
improving quality and cutting cost.<br />
<br />
There was a very tight deadline to turn around on this. A proposal was quickly drawn up due to the skills of the University Press. It was decided to create a "Essential for Financial Management" e-textbook. This is the largest and most complex module taught at the University (in fact it is taught in two places - Liverpool and the Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China (XJTLU)). The print textbook costing £56 a copy, so it wasn't possible to buy sufficient copies.<br />
<br />
The Xerte tool was chosen. It can create learning objects. They didn't want to use just PDFs, but planned to add garphs, images and interactivity. Students don't like e-books as they are just electronic versions of a book. The e-textbook would be available in OA with also a POD print version.<br />
<br />
A second e-textbook called "Using Primary Sources: A guide for Students" is now being created. This would be used in the History School and later in English, the Classics and archaeology disciplines. It will present a digital image and provide a comprehensive explanation from academics on how to use the primary resource, such as manuscripts, Cunard Lists (available as part of the Special Collections of the University). There will be three volumes by period.<br />
<br />
Biblioboard is being used to create the e-textbooks, as it is great for images and use on the iPad. This project has been very exciting as it is making the University's Special Collections and Archive more visible. It is also using part of one of the exhibitions held at the University.<br />
<br />
Liverpool was one of a number of institutions selected alongside Nottingham, UCL and UHI. It is good to know that Nottingham will also be using Xerte and now looking at the possibility of using Biblioboard. All the institutions involved meet once a year and there are also conference calls. Jisc want lots of data and regular updates.<br />
<br />
<b>Now on a "long and winding road"</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Academics will write. Some just want time, others money.; </li>
<li>The Press will
select, shape, edit, credentials</li>
<li>One prototype anthology is being created at the moment</li>
<li>The Press will produce the POD version, market and distribute</li>
<li>The Library will do the technical creation;</li>
<li>The Centre for Lifelong Learning and Computer Services Department at the University, along with a steering group (to include students) will
ensure the e-textbooks meet all pedagogical & technical standards; </li>
<li>The aim is to have the first tranche of material available on-line in late 2015.</li>
</ul>
The Press is doing very well, and its openness to partnership with the library is one of the reasons for this. The Press does a lot of things you wouldn't expect from a University Press. It is thinking outside usual confines of publishing. Partnership is so important both within the University and beyond, and this particular partnership is ideal and a great driver of innovation.<br />
<br />
<b>After this "Tomorrow never knows"</b><br />
It is hoped the pilot will be a success and that the data will show this. There is a need for a firm business case to show the University Board that it would succeed without Jisc funding. It is fantastic to be able to experiment and to make a difference to students. Both partners have different business models: the Library is funded publicly, whereas the Press has to be independently financially viable. Coming together there are new possibilities. As long as the Press is not loosing money then the University is happy with this. The Press can have access to the Library's skills, which they would otherwise not have.<br />
Through experimentation and thanks to Jisc funding they can look at the data, learn what business model would be most successful and try to make the project viable in the long term.<br />
Academics are being given the opportunity to put in proposals. The skills of the Press has been invaluable here as they are used to dealing with this process. Both time and sometimes money has to be invested to get the good-quality content for the e-textbooks.

<br />
The World Bank is a development agency which has two set goals to achieve by 2030:<br />
<ul>
<li>To end extreme poverty</li>
<li>To promote shared prosperity by fostering income growth.</li>
</ul>
The World Bank is a vital source of financial products and services to developing countries and the world. There has been a growing movement towards transparency as the World Bank is publicly funded. This has lead to its Open Access policy which was adopted in July 2012.<br />
In the Aid Transparency Index 2014 the World Bank was ranked number 7 in those organisations which are very good. However, this is a fall from being number 1 back in 2011. This is due to tougher reporting standards. The World Bank is working to improve their ranking. The World Bank is an open government partnership and has gone from 8 to 65 participating countries.<br />
<br />
The World Bank is also a vital source of technical assistance to developing countries around the world, and provides policy advice. Openness drives accountability and accountability drives results. Therefore, the World Bank has become open by default.<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Open development</b> - making information freely available and searchable, encouraging feedback, information sharing and accountability. Open about what we know, do, how we work, Open Government.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Policy framework</b> </li>
</ul>
- a Copyright Directive. The work carried out by World Bank employees belongs to the World Bank. A contract needs to be drawn up to state who owns the work in the case of a collaboration. The World Bank is at the moment working on trying to enable employees to start projects without having to wait to sign a contract before commencing.<br />
- a Open Access Directive. Work undertaken for the World Bank is to be put in the OKR (Open Knowledge Repository), with a CC BY licence. Articles would require the use of institutional publisher agreements. Compliance is going up. The World Bank is looking at articles being published in Open Access journals. It plans to create a list of agreed OA journals where employees can publish, and this list would be revised every 6 months<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Publisher agreements</b></li>
</ul>
The World Bank has agreements with 11 publishers, including Elsevier, Taylor and Francis, Wiley, which allow the articles to be available as Green Open Access but the copyright is still with the World Bank. Publishers provide the required metadata. Authors need to know about this, so step-by-step guidelines have been created, along with outreach and training pages on the intranet.<br />
<br />
<b>The OKR</b><br />
This has a built-in incentive for authors as it provides rich statistics and has a high level of downloads. Its articles are getting cited in publications such as The Financial Times, which is very important for the World Bank as this is what policy makers read. It has been integrated with altmetrics, looking at such sources as blog feeds and tweets. It is showing that the articles are being read and cited in teh regions where the World Bank are trying to move, i,e, the developing countries.<br />
The OKR also includes information on individual authors, such as the number of downloads, and provides external and ORCID links. There is integration with Scopus and Google Scholar, where you can see links to author's citations and actual work (if you have access rights). There are various tools to measure impact.<br />
<br />
In 2012 (the year in which the repository was launched) there was a 110% growth in dissemination. Last year there was a 39% increase. Such a large amount of public money has been invested in research, which is no good to anyone if no one can see it. This is why the World Bank thinks OA is so important.<br />
<br />
There are site statistics - you can tell in which country something has been downloaded. In order to be more specific the use of IP addresses would need to be used, which is something the World Bank is looking at.<br />
<br />
A bi-annual survey is undertaken by the World Bank. This has shown that access to "big data" is not the issue, but access to the tools needed to analyse this data.<br />
<br />
A book from Latin America will be published next month. The World Bank will be interviewing the authors to find out what questions need to be asked in order to ascertain whether the book/research has had the expected outcome.<br />
<br />
The question was asked how the World Bank approached the transition to an OA policy culturally. Carlos said that it was very much driven by high-level people who were extremely keen to drive the policy forward. It was a very quick transition and so people had to adjust very quickly. Suddenly the World Bank's database went from being accessible only through subscription to being OA, so effectively the resource has been given away! It was an executive decision, i.e. it wasn't discussed by the Board. Even though there were some concerns to begin with in some quarters, there was a very quick uptake by all departments in the World Bank. Becoming OA has actually proved to have had an excellent outcome. Researchers have embraced it as their work is being disseminated widely and their work is being used/acted upon.<br />
<br />
There has been a massive organisational re-structure. By talking to regional managers about being "open by default", the information is being passed on to the researchers they manage. The World Bank also held "brown bag lunches", where they could talk to researchers directly about complying with the OA directive and how easy it is to comply. The 11 publishers the World Bank has agreements with make up 80% of total publishers its researchers publish in. If the World Bank employee wants to publish with another publisher (not in the 11) then Carlos negotiates with that publisher and also signs any contract. This policy seems to avoid any problems with researchers publishing with a publisher who does not provide OA and/or requires the copyright to the work.

<br />
Long-term preservation refers to processes and procedures required to ensure content remains accessible well into the future. It is an attempt to replicate the situation with paper journals. There is a market demand by libraries that want to be assured there is an independent third-party preservation of electronic content. There is a centrally managed preservation of national collections preserved on national soil for safe-keeping.
Publishers want to be good stewards of their content and want people to be happy that nothing will be lost.<br />
<br />
Preservationists become "keepers" of the content in case a Trigger Event is needed (publisher failure, discontinuation, disaster). It is an "insurance policy" for e-resources.<br />
<br />
Commercial hosting, journal hosting platforms (HighWire, Metapress,
Ingenta etc) and aggregators are not preservation archives! They have
the right to remove discontinued content (and Metapress actually went
under last week).<br />
<br />
There are two types of digital preservation archives: global (i.e., CLOCKSS, LOCKSS, Portico) and regional (i.e., BL and the Dutch KB).<br />
<br />
The CLOCKSS archive began in 2006 as a collaboration between top research
libraries and scholarly publication to create a dark archive. This means there is no access to content but it is preserved. 12 sites around the world hold CLOCKSS servers.<br />
<br />
The principles:<br />
<ul>
<li>Community governed with responsibility shared. There are 12 governing libraries including OCLC
and Edinburgh/EDINA. Both publishers and libraries are on the CLOCKSS Board.</li>
<li>A global approach with decentralised preservation,
proven open-source technology via LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) which is both the award-winning software and the network. (In CLOCKSS, C is for Controlled, as in dark).</li>
<li>There is a commitment to open access</li>
<li>Content
can be activated via Trigger Event, which include the publisher no longer being in business; the title is no longer offered; back issues are no longer available; a catastrophic failure of the server. </li>
<li>There is a vote to trigger content. There has to be agreement of at least 75% of the board, with
no more than 2 not agreeing. 16 journals have been triggered to date. In each case the publisher itself has come to CLOCKSS.</li>
</ul>
The CLOCKSS Community is in three parts:<br />
<ul>
<li>Scholars/students & readers of content;</li>
<li>Libraries who purchase and manage content;</li>
<li>Publishers of above content.</li>
</ul>
Services provided:<br />
Charitable organisation providing dark archive, delivery of open access
of triggered content (not hosted by CLOCKSS, but by the Universities of Stanford and
Edinburgh), content insurance for libraries and peace of mind for
publishers. The triggered material has a CC non-commercial license.<br />
<br />
Brazil is at the moment completing its application to be 13th node (other 12 nodes spread all over the world, including Scotland). The CLOKSS Board has authorized 15 archive nodes in total, so there is an opportunity for another European node.<br />
<br />
The CLOCKSS is a trusted digital repository. It is the only digital repository to have scored a perfect 5 in technology and security.<br />
<br />
<b>So, where are they going in the future?</b><br />
<br />
Here are the biggest challenges:<br />
<ul>
<li>Formats - discussion of HTML5 and AJAX, with publishers less enthusiastic about the latter than expected.</li>
</ul>
Funding from the Mellon Foundation has been awarded for CLOCKSS to look at formats. Content is captured as it is ("'just-in-time" translation). The problem is with presentation not content. This needs to be improved.<br />
<ul>
<li>
What to do with databases, datasets and supplementary materials</li>
</ul>
- The key
issue is that of space. Everything has to be x12 (i.e. the amount of servers). Partnerships with
Figshare, Reveal Digital, etc but CLOCKSS have stepped back from these
to re-examine<br />
- Must look at the value of CLOCKSS to the community - talking to various organisations about what the value is and identify what is of most value to keep. Avoid duplication. <br />
- Open vs Closed databases.Open databases, such as Facebook, cannot be captured fully. Only a snapshot (a picture in time) can be taken. You take an initial picture, things change and you take another picture. The first picture is then thrown away. However, this means that what was once in the first picture and now not not in the second will be lost. You can also pick up updates, but these have to be really well tagged.<br />
<ul>
<li>
Funding issues: in particular, underwriting small independent publishers who are most at risk. The funding has not changed since CLOCKSS started back in 2008. It is now being discussed.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
OA access and library support - where do they stand in the priority of
preservation? It is wrong to assume that OA sites will stay forever! They have trouble getting funding too. Supporting the library base is also being looked at further.</li>
</ul>
Randy took questions from the crowd:<br />
<br />
More clarification on preserving different formats was given. Any format can be preserved, including video. The issue is that of space, cost and presentation (especially if the format is now not in use/supported). Preservation is built into browsers. e.g. plug-ins to play MP3 music from the 1980s. This helps CLOCKSS. <br />
<br />
Storage drive costs had been going down until a fire in 2010 that affected a major disk drive manufacturer. The prices have not recovered since. <br />
<br />
All the universities who agreed to host CLOCKSS servers have agreed to US law
(and copyright); legally, this can't happen on a cloud-based system. Also, there is no legal precedent with a cloud-based preservation system, and no protection with regards to security. Who would lead the preservation initiative if it was cloud-based?<br />
<br />
Discussion of differences between CLOCKSS and Portico.<br />
In the CLOCKSS system the 12 boxes talk to each other all the time to check if there are any problems, e.g. some data is missing. If there are any differences then the majority wins. This happened when there was the natural disaster in Japan. Portico is run using different technology. It has two sites and has a file structure system. It also has a different strategy. It is an archive and post-cancellation service, whereas CLOCKSS is solely an archive. (LOCKSS is used in conjunction to provide post-cancellation access.) It is good to have the two different services as then there isn't a monopoly and both feed off of each other. <br />
<br />
All triggered
content in CLOCKSS is released in OA, whereas in the case of Portico only its members get the triggered content. No one server or organisation can preserve all materials; it will be a shared global initiative to keep going with this.<br />
<br />
A publisher has to agree to be in LOCKSS, but it doesn't cost the publisher anything to participate.<br />
<br />
David Rosenthal created the LOCKSS software. His <a href="http://blog.dshr.org/" target="_blank">blog</a> on preservation is recommended. It contains both technical and pragmatic discussion.

Both institutions, which are both part of the University of London and are just down the road from one another, have recently looked into whether they should change their library management system.<br />
They are both very different institutions.<br />
LSE - single campus; social sciences focus; 9,200 students; a single library; 4 million print; Voyager and Summon; period of looking at a possible new LMS Jan-Sept 2012.<br />
KCL - Multi-campus; multidisciplinary, 26,000 students; 6 libraries; 2 million print (more electronic than print); Aleph and Primo; period of looking at a possible new LMS Aug 13-Mar 2014.<br />
<br />
Both institutions looked at the same broad areas when looking at the question whether to stay with the existing LMS or to go to a new one:<br />
<ul>
<li>Existing system functionality</li>
</ul>
Here both institutions had different results as they had different systems already in place, different needs and different perceptions.<br />
Acquistions: LSE and KCL both good.<br />
ERM: LSE - weak. KCL - adequate.<br />
Print: LSE and KCL both declining. There is still a need to deal with print, especially at KCL, where
there is an interest in South American literature where many titles are
print-only.<br />
ERM: LSE and KCL both growing.<br />
ILL: LSE and KCL both continuing.<br />
<ul>
<li>Systems Review</li>
</ul>
They looked at other LMS in other institutions, e.g. site visits.<br />
<ul>
<li>Requirements</li>
</ul>
These included: acquisitions, cataloguing, ILL, reporting. Some of these areas are declining, some continuing and some growing. <br />
<br />
Seven questions were asked by each institution:<br />
<b>Q1 - Stay or Go?</b><br />
Here both institutions had slightly different results when looking at their individual requirements. At KCL and LSE journals at that point where better in the existing system. LSE found that their existing reporting function as well as their ERM had to go. For ILL LSE was neutral about moving and KCL wanted to stay.<br />
<br />
<b>Q2 - System maturity?</b><br />
The new-generation LMS is untested. So what is the best time to go? There are advantages and disadvantages of being an early adopter.<br />
Advantages include: early access to new functionality; discounts; chance to influence development; more attention from vendor.<br />
Disadvantages include: possible reduction to full functionality; staff time committed to development; staff stress.<br />
Both KCL and LSE did not want to be early adopters. LSE wanted a fully functional system and were not prepared to commit additional staff resource or increase staff stress by being an early adopter.<br />
<br />
<b>Q3 - System hosting model?</b><br />
There is an opportunity here to use a hosted service. It would reduce in-house infrastructure costs and IT staff costs, though it is not sure if this would mean less staff time taken. It would also improve resilience.<br />
There are also risks, such as lose of control over system performance. Moving to a multi-tenant solution (full cloud model) would mean access to webscale functionality, e.g. shared community data, community analytics, but it would also mean a lose of local control over system customisation and updates.<br />
LSE decided to go as they are very keen on benefiting from community data. Their exisitng infrastructure was at end-of-life. There are potential significant IT savings to be made and the IT department have accepted the risks of cloud services. They have taken advice on contracts and service level agreement, as it is extremely important to know your rights.<br />
KCL decided to stay. They didn't want a "one-size-fits-all" multi-tenant system. Also, their IT department is highly risk-adverse towards a cloud system.<br />
<br />
<b>Q4 - System development?</b><br />
Looking at how the LMS will evolve over time. Open source vs Commercial systems (two ends of the spectrum). With open source systems such as Koha and Kuali there is a lot of choice and input, but more in-house support and expertise is needed for this. Commercial systems involve less choice and input, but less in-house support and expertise is needed. In-house development resource is required, but you can develop it all yourself. <br />
<br />
<b>Q5 - Fit with systems strategy?</b><br />
The LMS is only one part of an entire ecology within the institution, which includes HR systems, finance systems and registry. It would need to integrate with these systems, and possibly others from outside the institution. The choice of LMS can constrain how libraries can deal with other systems.<br />
LSE undertook a landscape review and drew up a diagram showing all the LMS modules, which illustrated potential integrations. They found that they have 4 search points within the LMS.<br />
At LSE the process was taken to rule things out. They looked at the fit with the the resource discovery system, but not the other library or university systems. <br />
At KCL they took a more holistic approach to the landscape review, and looked at the strategic environment; existing systems and technologies, alternative systems and technologies, technology trends and did a SWOT analysis.<br />
They also looked at data-usage trends, spoke to staff, visited other libraries, had vendor demos, attended events, and looked at the literature. They complied a list of 30 different systems, with there being lots of different layers of systems. They found that four different teams were set up to look after the four different parts of these systems, so there was a mixed-support scenario. They also marked which were back-end and which were public-facing systems. They also looked at the usage trends, noting what was much used and what was little used, and the known issues. <br />
<br />
<b>Q6 - Fit with library strategy?</b><br />
You have to know where you want to go and why you want to go there, for example change or reinforce a particular staff model. <br />
LSE has a strategic focus on improving the "back-end" business processes. New LMS functionality needed to support improvement, so staff resources are justified. The new LMS review to motivate process change and create a culture of continuing improvement. There are not many ERM processes. Their decision was go as a new LMS was a priority.<br />
KCL has a strategic focus on innovation in "customer-facing" staff culture. New LMS functionality was not needed to support this. Customer benefits are not clear enough to justify a new LMS. Their decision was to stay. A new LMS wasn't a top priority.<br />
<br />
<b>Q7 - Fit with IT strategy?</b><br />
At LSE IT infrastructure is moving away from the support of local services to the cloud. IT development is also moving away from bespoke construction and towards standard APIs. IT staff is moving away from departmental IT teams toward central IT support. Their decision was therefore to go.<br />
At KCL they have a similar trajectory with IT support as LSE. However, making a case for a change of LMS would be very challenging. There are major pain points elsewhere: authentication; research data management; digital assets. The therefore decided to stay. IT investment in a LMS change was not justified.<br />
<br />
<b>So did LSE and KCL stay or go?</b><br />
LSE decided to GO as they had functionality needs, IT staffing and infrastructure changes, existing LMS contract was ending and the required financial resources (they had in fact delayed the tender several times in order for the systems to mature). They undertook their tender in July-September 2013 and selected Alma. They have been running Alma for the last 9 months, having implemented it during January to July 2014.<br />
<br />
KCL decided to STAY, but they haven't stayed still. There have been further team changes to streamline the LMS support, etc., and improvements made to hardware and software. They are also committed to shared services, such as JUSP and KB+.<br />
<br />
<b>What did LSE learn?</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Functionality is important but not the most important factor;</li>
<li>The hosting model affects costs and control;</li>
<li>Development approach affects your ability to fit the system to future needs;</li>
<li>Vendor ethos and on-going relationships are important.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>What did KCL learn?</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Know what your institution actually needs;</li>
<li>Test your assumptions as widely as you can;</li>
<li>Learn about systems innovation in other sectors;</li>
<li>Consider friction - changing LMS has hidden costs;</li>
<li>Systems don't solve problems, people do.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>What do you think?</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Functionality</li>
<li>Business model</li>
<li>Up-front and maintenance costs</li>

"While article processing charges (APCs) are emerging as a key way in
which existing publishers can adapt to gold open access, this mode is
problematic in many ways. Considering the existing subscription
publication ecosystem as a risk/ cost-pooling mechanism leads to the
conclusion that APCs are a concentration of risk that may come with
damaging institutional consequences, particularly in the
humanities disciplines. Consortial and co-operative modes of
funding gold open access, however, do not come with these drawbacks but
are susceptible to free riders. In this talk I will address the
theoretical backdrop to these models and evaluate the range of current
offerings. Noting that classical economic incentives do not seem to operate in a world of inter-library loans, I end with a description of the model that we are
implementing for our Andrew W Mellon Foundation funded initiative, the
Open Library of Humanities".</div>

Article Processing Charges are unaffordable for many Institutions.<br />
<br />
In the Humanities, books are very important. The <a href="http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/year/2014/CL,072014/">HEFCE mandate</a> however excludes monographs.<br />

OLH started off in 2013, initially under the name of PLOHSS (Public Library of Humanities & Social Sciences) (<i>"sorry to anyone from PLOS, we've got a different name now, so lawyers, back off "</i>)<br />
<br />
OLH has no article processing charges. So how does they fund this ?<br />

Their model inverts the ILL system, Libraries instead pay into a common pool, this benefits all libraries. OLH have "significant evidence" that this model works. Mention was made of "double dipping" practices in the open access system.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Negotiating the big deals</b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A special
negotiation team was pulled together to negotiate big deals (most recently 5big deals
with Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Sage and OUP).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The Minister
for Education, Culture and Science made a strong statement for OA, so these
negotiations were used for transition towards OA, with the emphasis being on
significant cost for publishing not reading fees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not all publisher are ready for a new model,
and some of the discussions were put on hold.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They did
reach an agreement with Springer so that researchers at Dutch institutions can
publishing in 1,500 journals, without extra cost and no limitation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The payment basis is for publication, not
reading.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
...Investigation!
The library wants to give good advice to the faculty on the value of the big
deal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is in it for Maastricht?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Evaluating
value would take a lot of manual data work, so the library decided to take this
process a step further and built a tool for doing this.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They decided
on the key data for evaluation:</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>List of core titles for each faculty (direct

<li>What will be in it next year (often a problem,
since title lists are often only known at the end of negotiation)</li>
<li>Journal Impact Factors</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>Journal list prices</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The needed
to check and validate each each parameter, to make sure the process was kept
clear and simple, but was still able to give an overview of value.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The IT Deparment
made tool that used the SQL server, so that the report can be generated
whenever they wanted it.</div>

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The report told them….</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
…a lot! </div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>number of core titles in a deal </li>

titles</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The report
helped evaluate the cost of the deal and what the difference would be if they
didn’t have the big deal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They found
out that they are paying 40% less via the big deal</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The extra
titles are being used very well, so the overall package is great value.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Up until now
they have decided to renew, but they don’t know what will happen in the future,
especially with prices increasing on an annual basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Review and negotiation will be needed, and
the library can take the report, advise the faculty and work to get the best
from their existing budgets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A different approach for individual
titles<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Prices can
go up dramatically (can be 30% increase) with no notification, so they need to
stay in control.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The
library’s action was to approach every publisher whose increase was over 5% to
get reasons why. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
And they received some fantastic reasons, including:</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>more pages/content (but we didn’t ask for that) </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>we didn’t increase for years, so be happy</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>keep up with other publishers</li>
<li>the rise of the cost of publishing</li>
<li>we don’t charge euro any more GBP</li>
<li>rise of postal costs (for e-journals?)</li>
<li>rise of price of kerosene (!?!)</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The library
also: </div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>talked to collection mangers to see what else
can be cancelled</li>
<li>looked at the most expensive subs, to see if
really need them</li>
<li>took a proactive approach in September and asked
publishers for the new price lists (mostly received in December, which is too
late).</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">There are some barriers to the above
approach</b></h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>no possibility of cancelling core title</li>
<li>most small publishers didn’t have room for
negotiation themselves</li>
<li>prices for following year often not set before
November/December</li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But if you
want to keep hold of expenses, <b>communication </b>is key:</div>
<ul>
<li>talk to your
suppliers and tell them what’s going on in your library</li>
<li>inform your
payers and decision makers and ask for their commitment</li>
<li>ensure you
have close cooperation with other libraries and licencing bureaus.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
And don’t be
afraid to cancel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q&A session</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: How do you handle interdisciplinary
recharge to faculties? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Every
faculty puts funds into a central pot and content is paid for centrally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The library also looks at subjects in big
deals and faculties pay likewise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: How do you come up with core titles?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Core title
lists are made by faculty themselves and the library compares that list with
the big deals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they are not in the
deal, a separate subscription is made.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: If the price of big deals increase, or
library budgets decrease, what is the impact on your subscriptions with small
publishers?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Until now,
the library has not had to sacrifice any individual titles, but they will be
first to be cancelled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The library will
try to still subscribe, but will need to look for other ways to pay for them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q:Does this program and approach feed into
consortium decisions?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It is only
used by Maastricht now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In some cases we
have to join all but every university can decided if they want to join in.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Q: How do
you build and maintain the data for the lists</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The library
manually collects and maintains the lists, but put it through the SQL server.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes a lot less time than it used
to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took 2 weeks to make the tool,
and now the evaluation takes approx. 2 hours.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Is the tool open source?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Not up to
now, and this is the first time Maastricht has spoken about it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Do you look at turnaway/denial data?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The library
only looks at what they have access to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: What is the formula for Impact Factor and
the importance of core titles?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Impact Factor
is not very important in the result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
most important data is usage, and the price you would pay for those core
titles, if you didn’t pay the deal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: What’s the alternative, if you don’t
renew a big deal? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Subscribing
to individual titles, or not subscribing at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there is no money, there is no other
choice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Offsetting APCs is an issue for UK?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is Maastricht doing this?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This is new
for Maastricht, but we are making an effort to make this possible due to the
mandate. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Is there any preordained criteria for
renewing a big deal? What does the data show you?</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maastricht needs to ensure funds are
available for the term of the agreement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The data currently shows that big deals are still better value than individual
subscriptions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Do you evaluate new titles against
existing holdings?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is your
approach? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Trials,
researcher requests, and then looking for budget. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Q: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: if you can only get usage for what you already
have, so how can you compare for new titles, eg. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you look at references that your
researchers have made?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This project
can can snowball in terms of complexity, so that’s why the original parameters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Are you doing any other work to
contextualise? For example on what people are doing with that work. A professor
is doing work on a high value project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The title costs £n. The usage is low but has a huge impact on business.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
If they are
really needed, Maastricht will subscribe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Numbers are an indication but we need to see them in context.</div>

In the past,
NHS staff had excellent access to paper journals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Libraries were dotted around, so all they had
to do was walk down and grab.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In the 90s,
the switch to e-journals started, and they had excellent on-site access to
journals across various formats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All they
had to do was use the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet" target="_blank">sneakernet </a>(Wikipedia),
walk down with a floppy disc and grab.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Coming
nearer to the present day, KCL, as a member of the <a href="http://www.ukrr.ac.uk/" target="_blank">UK Research Reserve</a>,were able to get a
good level of electronic access to content and were able to dispense with their
paper content.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But to get
access to these e journals NHS staff still had to go down to a library and log
in – counter to the change in user expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This led to frustration! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">About NHS procurement</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A NHS
library is very different to one in the HE environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A big NHS library typically has 5 members of
staff.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In KCL’s
case, there have been lots of local efforts made to provide access for patrons,
including:</div>
<br />

your NHS trust was not affiliated.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Cambridge,
UCL, Imperial, KCL, and Manchester University worked with a number of

the licences to the NHS trusts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The NHS staff experience?</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
There are lots of different access options
for the NHS at KCL: </div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>You can walk into the library to register for an

</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But this is
tricky to explain and navigate and so it is basically an access nightmare for
NHS staff.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
And they
weren’t very happy:</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>The <a href="http://www.gmc-uk.org/education/surveys.asp" target="_blank">GMC survey</a>

feedback regularly</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A survey of
doctors identified what they most wanted, which showed that there was a problem
of people not realising what they already had access to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People had a different impression of what
they actually had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
More outreach was necessary
so they decided to try and <b>extend the NESLi deals</b>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What KCL did</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The Finch
Report recommended licence extensions for the NHS, so this was the context for
this approach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The rationale
was:</div>
<ul>
<li>The same
people will be accessing the content as before – the current setup was an oversight,
as the JISC deals doesn’t allow access for users who aren’t institutional, but
KCL is their library support</li>
<li>They were
not undercutting any NHS subs</li>
<li>Mobile
access was very important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The same
content needed to be delivered, but in a way that is easily accessible to offsite
staff.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
There has
been a national 1 year pilot that started in April 14, and this had led to agreements
with six publishers (pilots and purchases) and 7,000 additional titles
through OpenAthens. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Results so far</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It is not
all plain sailing, as there are a number of issues with link resolvers, authentication
and challenges in promotion, but overall there are more NHS staff logging in
via Open Athens each month and the GMC survey shows an increase in positive
perception of access to e-journals. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
</h2>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Why is NHS usage level low?</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The NHS
usage is not the same kind of intensity as in HE – there is a fall in the time
staff have to read content, but not an increase in number of papers read.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Much of the
content available is research, not “hands on” clinical content, so not all is
relevant to them</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The usage is
low but very broad, e.g. one journal used 50 times, which would be very
expensive if subscribed to in the traditional way. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Q: Barriers to access?</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In Norway it
has been proven that IP based access is best, but there are difficulties in NHS
as they NHSN3, so you can’t tell the difference between IPs.</div>

<br />
<b>Through a behavioural lens darkly: how ethnography can illuminate research into users</b><br />
<i>Presented by Bryony Ramsden (University of Huddersfield - Twitter @librarygirlknit) and Gareth Johnson (Nottingham Trent University - Twitter @llordllama) </i><br />
<br />
Bryony's presentation: <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/UKSG/uksg-conference-2015-through-a-behavioural-lens-darkly-how-ethnography-can-illuminate-research-into-users-bryony-ramsden-university-of-huddersfield-and-gareth-j-johnson-nottingham-trent-university">http://www.slideshare.net/UKSG/uksg-conference-2015-through-a-behavioural-lens-darkly-how-ethnography-can-illuminate-research-into-users-bryony-ramsden-university-of-huddersfield-and-gareth-j-johnson-nottingham-trent-university</a><br />
<br />
Bryony Ramsden started by telling the attendees that both presenters will be talking about how they might use ethnographic research for their own libraries. She told a ‘once upon a time’ story about the library being renovated at Huddersfield; she was appointed as a research assistant to see how the library changes had impacted their users. She then got in touch with ethnographer Amy Whiteside (University of Minnesota) who had done similar work and helped Bryony learn what she could do with her data. The research project was small-scale (with a short qualitative amount of data), studying their library, use, seat counts etc. The library spans 5 floors, with 4 floors holding study areas - some more popular, and some soft furnishings not used. But why?<br />
<br />
Survey data was collected at the door of the library and in various sections - SO MANY NUMBERS - the people who were collecting data complained about this, but Bryony points out she had to type it in ;) Some students were identified, and asked to fill in diaries but not many really did it (even with a gift given) - students weren’t engaged like US students often are. There was also an opportunistic survey of students in the spaces they were using, asking why they were where they were. It was noted that people don’t equate what they’re actually doing with what their stated purpose of use is - 'I'm studying' often meant 'I'm playing with my phone sending email'.<br />
<br />
After her interest was piqued, Bryony is 4 years into her part-time PhD continuing this type of research into space issues - she is taking a qualitative approach, and getting away from the numbers. She is looking at user behaviours in several different libraries across institutions, considering how students interact with each other, and with staff.<br />
<br />
So, what is ethnography? It's learning about cultures, but keeping in mind you’re not the same as the people you’re studying, plus you can never truly understand if you’re not part of the group. You can use consideration of differences to inform your observations. Also, you don’t want to change those you study. She quoted Margaret Mead: ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world'.<br />
<br />
What goes on with cultures in environments we create for them? Have we created the right environment? How can we improve what we create? No matter how much you use the library, you aren’t connected in the same way via a work purpose as via a study purpose. You can also take a critical look at the relationship between environment and culture (considering approach to gender, race, disability etc).<br />
<br />
Conducting observations is really important - people in the library environment are aware of what they’re doing but maybe not consciously, or may not feel that you want to know the full story, so that’s where observation comes in to see what they don't say. Interviews aren’t the same in ethnography as you imagine when you hear the word 'interview'; they want to go deeper, and they’re semi-structured with few questions to dive deeper. It’s really important to give voices to the people being interviewed, to bring their stories out. When doing space research (how people use spaces - still small scale in libraries) as Bryony is, observation and interviewing are especially important. Libraries who have done space research on a formal level often make large changes to layout, admin etc - they are usually looking at improving user experiences (though perhaps not always). It's not just space issues though - for those looking at open access and the ref, her research and methodology can show what works for academics (and what is difficult) in helping get their research out.<br />
<br />
There are always difficulties in ethnographic research; it’s always going to involve much time and staffing resource to carry out the methods, and in an ideal world you would hire an anthropologist to do this work. This is also very context-specific based around the people you speak to and the observations you conduct - you can’t really generalise across the board. At the end, it’s completely up to the people who look at your data what they do with it, so it can be frustrating when it’s out of your hands - what they do may not be what you wanted to happen. That said, what seem like minor changes you make based on your research can add up to big changes and make major differences to the user experience in the long term. If you can talk to people, give them the voice and share their voices, this makes people feel involved in the process and empowered<br />
<br />
Gareth then picked up the narrative, looking at emerging open access academic paradigms for his PhD work. The whole idea of dissemination is entwined with current academic practice, but rank and file are still reluctant to deal with ‘the open’. Gareth is interested in the qualitative rather than quantitative, the perceived ‘mundane’ things which are actually shaping institutional environments. For example, he started looking at and working with open access in 2006, when it was a niche idea; it’s now gone mainstream. The UK has a rich history in the infrastructure that props up open access, as well as producing a great amount of the world class research output, so we should be leading in this field.<br />
<br />
Ethnographers can find interesting narratives and trends, but they can’t say ‘things are so’ - it's only 'so' with the people you work with. Ethnography is the framing around which he hangs everything else; he is ‘the research instrument’ through which the voices speak, but with context and further information added. No one can be truly subjective in research, but ethnography admits that the researcher is coming at the subject from a certain direction. He discussed the neoliberal context of open access in a marketed sector, and got into the theory and intellectual framework that frame his research, including that of Foucault and discourse (shaping behaviour).<br />
<br />
In his research, there were qualitative semi-structured interviews which permitted genuine perceptions and serendipitous insights. He has 220000 words of data to transcribe and analyse through <span class="st">Qualitative Comparative Analysis. [I will add a photo here of Gareth's slide of </span>all emergent themes he found] He focused on the theme of barriers - in this case, why aren’t academics adopting open access. His narrative reflections include the following:<br />
- Academic deficiencies in OA awareness/knowledge are perceived.<br />
- Positive engagement is more typically found in the STEM sector.<br />
- AHSS lag can be attributed to dissimilar dissemination practice.<br />
In Gareth's next phase, he wants to do further research across groups and disciplines and develop a bigger picture. Finally, he reflected on ethnographic methods: time demands are not trivial for gathering (or analysis), but there is great value in generating a rich narrative and dataset.<br />
<br />
Audience questions:<br />
- How many times did they have to change questions?<br />
Gareth kept his questions the same (or kept them of a similar theme as he modified) but he will move on to new questions that came up at a later time (questions should first be tested on a small subset? he didn't have that much time though); Bryony had very specific questions - you do get led a bit by the data but again you can always come back to it later.<br />
-How do you balance asking the questions with what you observed your clients doing in the library?<br />
Bryony got her data to work with to prompt questions, so she goes into interviews on the basis of knowing these things - whether what people tell her goes along with that is another thing!<br />
-Bryony, are the library still collecting all the seat count numbers at Huddersfield?<br />
Not that she knows of. She can’t say where she’s collecting now, as there are issues of institutional anonymity.<br />
- Health studies are dominated by quantitative data - how do you feel about ’no stories without data’ / ‘no data without stories’?<br />
Gareth has always been told that there must be qualitative data - it's interesting how they work together in different sectors.<br />
- Gareth, are you going to propose ways to destroy the current networks of scholarly access? ;)<br />
He was told that he should show the data and leave it to others to do the destruction! Though he’s seeing how he can work in advocacy - might have some of these things in his final work…<br />
- What is Gareth’s timescale?<br />
He’s in his 3rd year hoping to finish interviews over 3-4 months, writing up from September and available next year (via open access of course!)<br />
- So Bryony, why don’t people like soft furnishing? <br />
She suspected that they didn’t lend themselves to PC use but were often located near them, so it wasn’t condusive - if we’re designing environments with comfy seating, it should be more of a lounge environment and other comforts are more welcome than PCs. She also thinks libraries are guilty of not playing around enough, changing little things and seeing what happens!<br />
- What about anonymisation?<br />
For both, some people really wanted to have their names included, but that option was there; Gareth was worried about what he does with data after it finishes (AHRC will want that but as he said it’s an issue in the academic culture!)Paula Cuccurullohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04072039494473764021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677797369925503856.post-52626605979539586502015-03-29T18:56:00.000+01:002015-03-29T18:56:03.381+01:00<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hours to go until the 2015 conference starts. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Check back</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> for posts regularly.</span><br />

(I vote, "Yes") "The webinar will begin shortly, please remain on the line."<br />
<br />
Alright, maybe I was a bit eager- signing in to the UKSG webinar roughly ten minutes before the starting time.<br />
You can't hold it against me though, I was <i>very </i>excited.<br />
I'd been sitting behind my computer plugging away at coursework all day-unable to physical attend the conference in Harrogate due to financial and time constraints. Being a post-graduate student in LIS gives you this incredible thirst for knowledge and a desire to interact with others in every spectrum of the field. Unfortunately many of us, myself included, are simply unable to make the trek to conferences but our willingness and desire to be a part of them is incredibly high.<br />
<br />
Which is exactly what brought me to my laptop at 15:55 on Tuesday the 15th. I'd been interacting and tracking #uksglive on twitter since Sunday evening. Following live tweets of talks, speakers, and networking does little more than make one stir crazy-especially after I found out there were bursaries and sponsorships available to allow students to attend the conference. I'll admit, head definitely met desk after I discovered that tid-bit.<br />
<br />
"The webinar will begin shortly, please remain on the line."<br />
<br />
'Wait.....will they be able to see <i>me</i>? Should I put on make-up?'<br />
<br />
"The webinar will begin shortly, please remain on the line."<br />
<br />
<br />
Part of me starts to wonder how many other people are hearing the exact same thing right at that moment? The UKSG website stated that the webinar could be attended by around 500 people worldwide.<br />
<br />
That thought made me realise the consequences that successful webinars could have at conferences globally. It's not just about students, it's about expanding the privilege of knowledge to individuals and groups unable to attend in person. I was reminded of the format of TED talks and the newer platform of TEDx which brings TED to smaller communities and stages but still shares the knowledge and lectures globally. I don't even want to fathom how many hours I spent watching TED talks during my undergrad years, but unlike many other hours spent on line, I do not consider those to be "wasted". From my little flat in Milledgeville, Georgia I was able to watch TED talks taking place in New York, London, and San Francisco. The lectures I watched inspired my research, motivated me in topics for papers and speeches, and helped me realise that despite the sour economy- times are not terrible for dreamers.<br />
<br />
I had been following #uksglive on twitter for days and seen highlights and quotes from many lectures and speeches that I terribly wished I could have seen. Would it be <i>that</i> terrible if academic conferences made their content available? It seems particularly hypocritical especially in the realm of LIS. It should be our mission to spread knowledge, literacy, and higher education. Denying individuals access to lectures at conferences because they cannot afford to attend or simply cannot make the trek seems to inherently conflict with our mission in LIS. With such focus now especially on open access research and now open source software for library databases, it is entirely wrong to only allow sessions and lectures at conferences to be open to only those who can afford the luxury.<br />
<br />
Finally, after what seemed like hours of internal conflict, the webinar began. Maria Campbell chimed in, like a technical angel, to tell the attendees the format of the talk and how to work the controls and ask questions. Then she introduced Andrew Barker, head of academic liaisons at University of Liverpool, as our leader of the panel for the webinar.<br />
<br />
The next 45 minutes were spent with Andrew leading a group as they tried to give a general overview of the whole conference. If anything the webinar just made me even more depressed that I wasn't actually attending. Obviously summarising sessions for a webinar will never actually replace attending the conference. You cannot network, visit booths, or meet-up for drinks by watching videos of lectures. I thought I was about to be let-down by the content but then conversation began about some of the actual content being addressed at the conference. Open access, the future of library cataloguing, interactive data, and how to remain relevant in an alarmingly paperless society.<br />
<br />
I was later informed by Maria Campbell that the webinar was attended by 50 individuals but 142 registered and were sent the video to watch at a later time. That's a potential to spread and share knowledge from any conference, session, lecture, or panel with anyone in the world. In this blogger's humble opinion, webinars and videos of sessions should become open to those unable to physically attend conferences. I fully believe that UKSG is leading the way in instituting this new transition and look forward to seeing what is available for the world to see in 2015.<br />

Presenter: Michael Jubb (Research Information Network)<br />Blogger: David Walters (King’s College London)</h3>
Michael gave us a very interesting overview of the purposes of scholarly communications and how changes to the infrastructure are steering change, new ideas and new forms of expression.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Purposes of scholarly communication</h3>
Michael gave a useful summary of the purposes of scholarly communications, who’s needs have been served within a research/publishing framework for centuries. In short, the purpose is to generate and share ideas and increase the impact of piece of research. Michael used the apt phrase of ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Register research findings, timeliness, and attributable persons</li>
<li>Review and certify findings before publication</li>
<li>Disseminate new knowledge</li>
<li>Preserve a record of findings for long term efficiency and effectiveness of research</li>
<li>Reward researchers for their work</li>
</ul>
<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Purposes of scholarly communication</h3>
It's not just about communication, there are a number of other things that make research dissemination important. Metrics and impact are additional factors. A number of different purposes are fulfilled by research communications systems. Other considerations:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Discoverable</li>
<li>Accessible</li>
<li>Assessable</li>
<li>Usable</li>
</ul>
<br />
Michael explained that research, particularly in the sciences, should be seen as an open enterprise. It needs to be communicated in as way that is intelligible and accessible, so that people can understand what has been discovered.<br />
<br />
Research needs to be open to quality assessment, not just assertion, based on the evidence submitted. It should be usable, this ties into the impact.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Mechanisms for scholarly communication</h3>
Michael discussed some of the different mechanisms that research is communicated and took science as an example. Other disciplines have a wide range of different methods of communication.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Orally: lectures, seminars, conference presentations, teleconferences</li>
<li>Written; theses, working papers, pre=prints, books, journal articles, wiki's, blogs, emails</li>
<li>Public vs restricted audiences </li>
<li>Peer-reviewed or not</li>
</ul>
<br />
Michael highlighted a distinction between the mechanism and the degree of quality assurance.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Players and stakeholders and their interests</h3>
<h4>
Researchers</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Interested in career development and advancement</li>
<li>Interested in discovering the work of others in their fields.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
University's - who employ the researchers</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Interested in building the reputation of their institution</li>
<li>Interested in raising funds through the reputation of the research published.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Funders</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Interested in the research they fund being accessible to the research community</li>
<li>The research councils have a mission statement. They want their research to make an impact on the world at large, in order to make a positive difference in society.</li>
<li>They have an interest in the efficiency of scholarly communications – they don't want it to be too expensive.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Librarians</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Content, access and discovery for researchers and students in their institutions. This is in support of research and teaching/learning.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Publishers</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Reputation</li>
<li>Generate revenue</li>
<li>Impact in wider society</li>
<li>Maximise dissemination</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Learned societies</h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Interested in the relationship between publishers and their research community.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Michael pointed out that these groups do not always share exactly the same interest. There are clear streams of funding that flow between these groups. For example, from the library subscription budget to publisher. Therefore it is not surprising that there are tensions in the ecosystem.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
The research landscape: Funders and Do-ers</h3>
Michael discussed who does research and how it is funded. He described this landscape in terms of ‘funders and do-ers’. There are many different kinds of funders; governments and charity's to name a couple.<br />
He referred to a study by Elsevier which illustrates the global research landscape. This study showed that companies and business are by far the biggest funders of research and account for around 2/3rds of activity. The next biggest funder of research is universities and after this is government.<br />
<br />
Thinking back to the ecosystem in terms of communication. The funding groups who are most interested in communication are those funded by governments, charities and universities. Business does not have a big interest in this – they are keen to protect ownership of their research and subsequent in-house innovation. Most research conducted through business is closed. A very high proportion will never be seen publicly, i.e. be published in journals.<br />
<br />
There are international differences. In Japan, research funding is overwhelming dominated by business. In the UK, a much larger proportion is funded by the government. The UK is an outlier when compared with how research is funded globally.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Collaboration</h3>
Michael demonstrated that research is increasingly becoming a collaborative enterprise. The proportion of articles with authors from more than one country is growing.<br />
<br />
The UK and Germany show that 50% of articles came from international collaboration. In the US, this is much lower. In China, it is only 15%<br />
<br />
Comparatively in the UK, the proportion of articles with just a single author is around 15%<br />
<br />
This shows that there are different international players with different interests, which adds to the complexity of the ecology.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Research data</h3>
Michael described the issue of Research data as of vital importance as the landscape undergoes a transformation.<br />
<br />
Without the constraints of a journal, research can be instantly accessible across millions of data points. What is required is a coherent infrastructure to join up these points along with the rhetoric argument of research findings and to find an effective means of presentation. This is a challenge with research data growing exponentially. Visualisation techniques and analytical tools are required to utilise this data.<br />
<br />
This also throws up a whole set of issues around whether research can be replicable.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Quality assurance and peer review</h3>
Michael outlined who is responsible for quality assurance.<br />
<br />
Who:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Editors and editorial board</li>
<li>Publishers’ editorial staff</li>
<li>Reviewers</li>
</ul>
<br />
Types:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Single blind – the author doesn't know the reviewe,r but reviewer knows the author. This is common in sciences. It’s argued that it is too difficult to achieve double blind due to the volume of papers produced, the idenifiable writing style of authors and highly specialised subjects.</li>
<li>Double blind - neither knows who the other is. This is common in the humanities.</li>
</ul>
<br />
There are ongoing issues with this system. Authors complain of bias, delays, inefficiencies, data, replication and overload. It is also difficult to find people willing to do the job – reviewers often work for free – and this slows down the process. It also can be difficult to assess the quality of the research data.<br />
Another issue is that sometimes journals make judgments on the significance of a paper, and this affects the publication schedule.<br />
<br />
There are a series of experimentation's going on around peer review. For example the PLOS peer review system, which is based simply on the soundness of the science.<br />
<br />
Other systems are exploring the idea of cascaded peer review results, within a publishers’ portfolio and between different publishers.<br />
<br />
There are moves toward completely open peer review, with ongoing interaction between the author and reviewers.<br />
<br />
Michael commented that post publication peer review is becoming more important the pre publication peer review. Very often publisher platforms allow for comments and reviews alongside the published article.<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Open Access</h3>
Michael commented that, in reality, open access is more complicated than green and gold. These terminologies can lead to confusion in terms of how open a paper really is, particularly in terms of re-use.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Fully OA - paid/unpaid</li>
<li>Hybrid</li>
<li>Delayed free access</li>
<li>Repository preprint</li>
<li>Repository accepted</li>
</ul>
<br />
This is a complicated landscape. Global repository take up is underused in the UK. It’s estimated that only around 9% of articles are available in a repository.<br />
<br />
-----------<br />
<h3>
Closing</h3>
Michael finished with some key questions surrounding the future of scholarly communication<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>How do you sustain the current ecology flows with innovation and sustainability?</li>
<li>Do journals have a future?</li>
</ul>

A year after the introduction of the RCUK Open Access
Policy, two research-intensive institutions share their experiences of
delivering open access services. As well as developing policies on using funds
and choosing Gold/Green, UCL and Manchester have set up advocacy programmes and
payment systems (including prepayment schemes) to encourage take-up and reduce

permutations, so the OA team needs to intervene early in the process. They
operate an email service, and get asked a lot of questions. The team fill in

Presenter: Steven Hill (HEFCE)<br />Blogger: David Walters (King’s College London)</h3>
<br />
After extensive consultation, HEFCE and the other three UK funding bodies have published details of a new policy for open access relating to future research assessments after the last REF (submitted in 2013). Steven presented on aspects of the new policy and the motivations which are driving this change.<br />
<br />
Steven was quick to point out that the policy is still in the early stages. HEFCE are framing the next REF by looking forward to expected changes in research methods and practices. In particular, they are looking at questions on how this will be assessed. The ‘juicy details’ will be forthcoming.<br />
<br />
Details of the announcement can be found below, but in brief there is a focus on open access full-text deposit and metadata discovery for article submissions. This will require significant engagement by authors in terms of open access if they want to submit papers for assessment.<br />
<a href="http://www.hefce.ac.uk/news/newsarchive/2014/news86805.html">http://www.hefce.ac.uk/news/newsarchive/2014/news86805.html</a><br />
------------<br />
<h3>
Open</h3>
Steven noted that, in the changing research landscape, alongside open access there are other ‘open’ terminologies emerging like ‘open research’ and ‘open science’.<br />
<br />
The Budapest initiative and subsequent definition of open access encapsulated the social revolution underway in how we perceive ownership of information. Their inspirational opening paragraph really sets the scene for the changes to come.<br />
<br />
Steven quoted from the book ‘Reinventing Discovery’, where Michael Nielsen argues that we are living at the dawn of the most dramatic change in science in more than 300 years. Steven discussed the importance of moving information out of people's heads, and out of siloed laboratories, to be accessible on the network as a fundamental imperative on this road to change.<br />
------------<br />
<h3>
Funders response</h3>
Steven commented on funder’s response to this issue, which have served to drive and incentivise the issue of open access.<br />
<br />
The new HEFCE policy will work alongside this by removing those perceived barriers, whilst protecting the elements of dissemination that should be retained.<br />
------------<br />
<h3>
The Post 2014 REF</h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Deposited</li>
<li>Discoverable</li>
<li>Accessible</li>
</ul>
<br />
Steven pointed out that ‘The Post 2014 REF’ is really the correct terminology for the forthcoming assessment. Phrases like ‘REF 2020’ are misleading as we don’t yet know when the assessment will take place. Assessments usually take place every 5-8 years.<br />
<br />
There is a focus on open access full-text deposit and metadata discovery. This applies to Journal articles and conference proceedings accepted for publication after 1 April 2016.<br />
<br />
The requirements state that peer-reviewed manuscripts must be deposited in an institutional or subject repository on acceptance for publication. The title and author of these deposits, and other descriptive information must be discoverable straight away by anyone with a search engine. The manuscripts must then be accessible for anyone to read and download once any embargo period has elapsed.<br />
<br />
Steven highlighted the fact that deposits are not limited to institutional repositories. However, he expects that universities will require this for their researchers in order that they have better control over the assessment.<br />
The aims are to make papers discoverable as early as possible and accessible through whatever open access route is available. They are green/gold neutral, but expect required embargoes for publically accessible open access to be 12 and 24 months depending on the discipline.<br />
<br />
There is a feeling that the open access monograph landscape is not yet developed enough to make this an assessment criteria of the panel. This is especially in terms of business models, but the board does recognise emerging opportunities and associated risks. Consequently, the policy does not apply to long-form outputs. However, they are discussing the possibilities of additional credits for authors who do make their monographs and book chapter’s available open access. They expect this will be a criteria for this in future REF assessments.<br />
<br />
They are also discussing the availability of additional credits for reuse rights and text mining. Text mining is expected to be available under the new government copyright legislations outlined by the Hargreaves review.<br />
Whilst there are exceptions for submission, they don't think these will be widely used.<br />
Based on the results of the REF 2013 assessment, they expect that 96% of papers submitted will be able to comply with these requirements without changing their choice of publication venues.<br />
------------<br />
<h3>
Open data</h3>
Open data could be rewarded in the next REF. However, it's a complex and diverse issue. Sometimes it's not possible to make your research data openly available, for example when dealing with issues of confidentiality. Sometimes research data is very large. Steven gave the example of the square kilometre array, which is the world’s biggest radio telescope. In terms of data, this project annually collects the equivalent of 50000 DVDs.<br />
<br />
The culture surrounding open data is still being developed. It is most important that all key stakeholders play a role in supporting researchers as they adapt and react to this new imperative. For HEFCE this is a key consideration at the forefront of their thinking.<br />
------------<br />
<h3>
Metrics</h3>
HEFCE have been performing a metrics research review. They have been considering some key questions. Primarily, what kinds of metrics for research performance are out there? What do they measure? Are they fair? What are the behavioural impacts of using metrics?<br />
<br />
Steven commented on example of gender bias in citations. Overall, men are cited more than women.<br />
------------<br />
<h3>
Open research assessment</h3>
Steven took us through an example of the classical research cycle. This has been described and thought of in its current form for a very long time. He commented that open access serves to take part of this cycle and make it openly available. The same can be said for open data.<br />
<br />
However, the changing landscape makes it possible for this entire cycle to be revolutionised. Resources like figshare enable ‘micro publishing’. This allows for little chunks of data and small experiments to be instantly accessible potentially providing a much broader picture.<br />
<br />
Steven also mentioned ‘Open notebooks’ as a scientific method. In these research cycles, the whole process becomes open at all stages.<br />
<br />
Steven also commented that Post-publication peer review is becoming more important than pre-publication peer review, as it provides impact and analysis in real-time.<br />
<br />
All these networks and linkages across institutions, resources – across large and small data and research projects – present a real challenge for the community as researchers and assessors.<br />
<br />
New methods and standards are required in order support these new evolving research practices and to ensure fair and accurate assessment.<br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Helen gave
us interesting insight on Nottingham Trent University’s different approach to
performing their recent serials review.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Background</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Typically,
libraries perform serial reviews because of money. At Nottingham Trent, they
rarely get full inflation allowance each year – e.g. the university might give
2%, but publishers might raise prices by 4% - so they are forced to make cuts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In the past,
they have given subscription lists to their academics to identify titles that
are no longer relevant or, if there is a new title they wanted, they had to
cancel something else of equivalent cost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was not successful as the faculty didn’t engage with this this
approach and, additionally, if you have taken this approach for years, it can
feel like you have already cut all the optional bits and are already down to
the bare bones.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Additionally,
the book budget has been used to support serials but this is not sustainable as
every year journal prices outstrip the RPI inflation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Researching methodologies</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They
launched a survey last May, asking how different libraries reviewed their
holdings <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and received 97 responses from
12 countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most were in Higher
Education, but they also got responses from corporate bodies and specialist
libraries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Responses came in on the
following topics:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Frequency of
serials review:</div>
<ul>
<li>annually (64%)</li>
<li>when required (18%)</li>
<li>2-3 years (17%)</li>
<li>4-5 years
(1%)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What
approach do you adopt:</div>
<ul>
<li>in depth on all subjects (47%)</li>
<li>selective review by
subject (35%)</li>
<li>other (17%)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What factors
or data sources are used in the review: </div>
<ul>
<li>change in sub cost</li>
<li>usage data</li>
<li>qualitative
feedback from faculty</li>
<li>qualitative feedback from students</li>
<li>librarian discretion
and expertise</li>
<li>changes in research activity</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Who gets to
vote on serials selection:</div>
<ul>
<li>no
voting (65%)</li>
<li>academic
staff (14%)</li>
<li>researchers (8%)</li>
<li>students (2%)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Common
themes across all respondents included budget driven decision making, with CPU
and prices being a main consideration, and usage statistics being the main
driver for cancellations.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They also
identified various different methodologies for serials review:</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>annual
review</li>
<li>subscriptions
committee</li>
<li>discussion amongst
library staff</li>
<li>discussion
with faculties</li>
<li>annual
review by academics</li>
<li>faculty
ranking journals, using the 100 points
and sorting system</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A new methodology</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So with this
in mind, they decided to try a new methodology: Zero Based Budgeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather than having what you had last year and
try for more, starting completely from scratch and bidding for the money. Forget
what you have now and tell us what you really want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They
performed a pilot across 3 schools, starting with a survey to find out which journals
people used daily, weekly and monthly; which 7 journals would they take to a
desert island; if a storm washed all the journals away, which one would they
save.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The level of
engagement varied from school to school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The School of Science did not choose to engage, and the School of Art
and Design having already started thinking about their serials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This meant they were only able to fully trial
the methodology with the School of Social Sciences. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
They asked
the School what they used for their research and what they recommended their
students, and gave them nothing to influence thinking – no statistics, no lists,
no prices.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Results</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Art and Design
had already done some voting, so the library attended their School Day,
bringing along sample copies of journals (both existing titles that had not
been voted for and new requests that hadn’t been in the library before) and
coloured stickers for the School to use for voting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The data was then collated and the titles
were ranked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They found there were
commonalities, and definite correlation between usage statistics and cancelled
titles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the end they got rid of 6
titles, and got 22 cheaper titles instead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
In the School of Social Sciences there was a massive amount of voting
and disparity of voting. The library has identified some possible cancellations
based on usage, and some new additions based on priority listings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are hoping the new subscriptions are
cheaper than the cancellations and at the moment they are confident they can
hit the top two priority levels.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
The liaison librarians have prioritised subscriptions based on number
of votes and occasionally on costs, and are trying to ensure a balance across
the different needs of the School.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Evaluation of the approaches<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></h3>
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The pros and cons of the
traditional review</b>
</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Pros included: quick process and can fit with sub year and finding
that mythical time when you can get academics’ attention and get their input;
can fit this in with renewal timings; much less work that blank page, but
voting restricted to current subs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
They felt that the cons outweighed the plus points: methodology feels synonymous
with “cuts” in academics’ minds; it requires academic input; it can be
challenging for a new researcher, who might have less influence than an
established academic, to get their preferences considered.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Traditionally, the library asked academics to see what can be cancelled,
rather than the process being driven by usage stats.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
The impact on collection was minimal with stable subscription profiles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is that good or is it static and
moribund?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seeing as there are new
journals and research areas you would expect more fluctuation so perhaps low
engagement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The pros and cons of the blank
page approach</b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Pros: more holistic view of what is required; embedded usage stats as
part of process, the stats have added reassurance; a fit for purpose collection
that meets needs, rather than historic profile; very positive faculty feedback
as they enjoyed being part of the process rather than it being a paper exercise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Cons: mixed levels of engagement; sometimes low response levels (what
level do you need to see before you can respond if only half of school bothered
to respond it would be skewed); poor fit with the library subs year (the School
responded in June last year but they are waiting for signoff so it will be almost
18months); it is a huge piece of work.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
They are not happy with the traditional method, and the jury is still out on the blank page method - isit sustainable or is there a better
evidence based way of doing this?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
What about other ways of finding out what users want?</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
The library uses Tallis Aspire to produce report
on all journal and articles on Resource Lists, which answers what they are
recommending to students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
ILL data can be catagorised by school</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
The library can capture requests to digitise content and put on the VLE</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Turnaway data from publisher- should count towards evidence of what
users want</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
<br /></div>
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
What evidence is there for what ppl don’t want?</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Low usage stats can be evidence- they have started looking at CPU v ILL</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 127.7pt;">
Reports of loss of e access and nobody noticed for months – how would

<ul>
<li>Don’t underestimate:</li>
<ul>
<li>how important it is to engage academics to tell them what you are trying
to achieve, why they need to engage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Don’t assume. </li>
<li>the workload pre and post review, and all the analysis</li>
<li>the unpredictable nature of voting patterns</li>
<li>the likelihood of top wish list items being something they already
have </li>
</ul>
<li>Don’t make survey too complex and don’t ask too many questions as this

questions</li>
<li>Think about metrics: does frequency of journal use bear relation to importance
of journal to the academic?</li>
<li>Consider other approached to find out information (slot on courses
meetings etc.) </li>
<li>Make sure that, having engaged the academics, you feed back on actions
taken and outcomes.</li>
<li>Use this approach with caution if you have to cut journals as you need
to be confident of a “good news” outcome at the end or some sort of contingency
plan so you can follow through and not disappoint people

Presenter: Paul Harwood (Jisc Collections)</h3>
<h3>
Blogger: David Walters (King’s College London)</h3>
Paul gave us an update on a JISC collections project he has been working on for the past year. The project was developed in the wake of the ‘Finch report’ (2012) and the subsequent introduction of the Research Councils UK (RCUK) policy (2013). The aim of the project was to provide a ‘quick and dirty’ insight as to what has been happening and the perceptions of what has been happening.<br />
<br />
Activities around the project involved:<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A questionnaire to RLUK members in January 2014<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Face-to-face interviews with 7 publishers in March 2014<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Telephone interviews with representatives from 4 European countries<br />
<br />
RCUK is the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils. Each year the Research Councils invest around £3 billion in research covering the full spectrum of academic disciplines from the medical and biological sciences to astronomy, physics, chemistry and engineering, social sciences, economics, environmental sciences and the arts and humanities<br />
<br />
Paul reflected on the statement presented to him by numerous RCUK representatives during the project:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“This is a journey not an event”</i></div>
<br />
Paul also commented on the mission statement of the RCUK open access policy and noted that it was last updated in May last year. Further changes may be seen as we move further into the transition to open access publishing and the impact of the RCUK policy is realised more widely.<br />
<br />
------------------<br />
<h3>
Questionnaire to RLUK members</h3>
Paul explained that the project targeted RLUK as subjects because they are an excellent collection of the ‘great and the good’ research led institutions in the UK. There are a greater number of institutions that are members of RLUK and a greater number of universities that are eligible for RCUK funding, which is why this group was chosen as a sample over the Russell group. There are currently 34 members (and growing). 28 members are in receipt of RCUK funding.<br />
<br />
71% of eligible institutions responded to the questionnaire. There were some interesting findings:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“Around a 1/3rd of respondents had a mandate for authors to deposit papers into the institutional repository.“</i></div>
<br />
Paul noted there was some confusion around the term mandate vs policy. He commented that this cuts to the ‘heart of the argument’ on open access. Should authors be forced into disseminating their research openly? Will institutions meet resistance from researchers as a result?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“Around a 1/5rd of respondents had an institutional fund for authors prior to the new RCUK policy. Now around 2/3rds do“</i></div>
<br />
Research funders also appear to be advocating more stick and less carrot. The vast majority of institutions did not have a mandate before RCUK policy came into effect but have since introduced a central fund to support authors meet the conditions of their grant.<br />
<br />
The project found the BIS fund is likely to have had a big impact on this trend. Significant percentages have spent this money on prepayment accounts for the payment of future APCs, staff resources and retrospective gold. The highest number of agreements was 16.<br />
<br />
Paul noted that another significant finding is that the library is leading this initiative in almost every case.<br />
<br />
There is an average of 117 RCUK funded articles published per institution from April 2013. They found a large range of total funds spent between institutions, ranging from 30k to 500k. Many institutions have stated that if the money runs out, they intend to meet any remaining costs themselves.<br />
<br />
Cambridge stood out as an institution as they have published their collected data on figshare. There is hope that other institutions will follow suit.<br />
<br />
Overwhelmingly, institutions want to be proactive and to understand the workflows involved, which is why most are handling payments themselves. Around 1/3 are making use of the JISC APC and OAK scheme and approximately 2/3 are using their own system.<br />
<br />
The most time and effort around the workflows has been going into checking that requirements have been met. This could involve checking all articles for acknowledgments, for example.<br />
<br />
When approving payments, most institutions will not pay a gold APC charge if the publication does not meet the RCUK terms and conditions - an incorrect creative commons license, for example.<br />
<br />
The project found a lot of frustration around the communication of RCUK to it’s authors. The majority of institutions positively support RCUK policy. However, many are concerned about spiraling costs and others concerned about the overall strategy by promoting Gold over Green. In advice to authors, more than ¾ of those surveyed are expressing institutional preference for achieving the RCUK objectives through the green compliance option over the gold.<br />
<br />
------------------<br />
<h3>
Face-to-face interviews with 7 publishers</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“A journey or an event”</i></div>
<br />
Paul discussed some emerging themes with different publishers. During the project they spoke to both large and small publishers for a range of perspectives.<br />
<br />
On being asked how open access has been received in their respective publishing houses’ the view expressed a feeling that a sufficiently big transformation has occurred to warrant major change. It's now widely accepted that open access is not going away and they are adapting their models to meet this challenge<br />
There are major problems with many publishers in tracking funder information. For many it is information that is simply not held. The new RCUK policy has prompted a change in the way they store and manage this information. Many of the big publishers now incorporate funders and their associated requirements into their submission system. So far this is just not viable for some of the smaller publishers. All groups are looking for the development of industry standards surrounding the issue in order to meet this requirement. Integration with FundRef is one such solution they are working on.<br />
<br />
This work is partly being informed by RIN (Research Information Network), who have produced new report detailing the kind monitoring that needs to take place in the transition to open access.<br />
<br />
Many publishers are working to alleviate allegations of double dipping by changing their business models to offset these costs.<br />
<br />
So far they have found a high administrative overhead with regard to this work.<br />
<br />
------------------<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Other representatives</h3>
Austria now closely mirrors the UK in terms of a mandated open access policy.<br />
<br />
In Austria, funders are entering into agreements with publishers on behalf of their authors. The Austrian Science Fund (FWF), the Austrian Academic Consortium (Kooperation E-Medien Österreich), the Austrian Central Library for Physics at the University of Vienna and IOP Publishing (IOP) have announced a new pilot project that will provide advance funding for Austrian researchers to publish on a hybrid open access basis in IOP’s subscription journals and which will offset that funding against subscription and licence fees paid by the Austrian Academic Consortium for access to IOP’s journals.<br />
<br />
Other countries want to see more government support in order to make steady progress in the transition to open access. In the words of some, they would like their own David Willets!<br />
<br />
There is a perception that most publishers do not want to see open access fully realised. Generally there is a preference among funders for green route. However, if it appears that this is not meeting expectations, they are ready to make a case for gold funded OA.<br />
<br />
In the Netherlands, they sense there is a growing open access movement building in the same way as the UK. However, although they are committed to this, they are not prepared to put additional funds aside in the same way. There is a perception that publishers took over the finch report and have used it to generate more revenue.<br />
<br />
There is a feeling that green isn't working and that research evaluation needs serious review.<br />
In Germany there is a real sense that their Government is not engaged with the issue of open access, despite repeated appeals by researchers who want it. They suggest that the RCUK policy is flawed and they shouldn't put more money in the system. Supporting two systems is seen as unsustainable.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://road.issn.org/" target="_blank">ROAD</a> is a free service offered by the ISSN International Centre with the support of
the Communication and Information Sector of UNESCO. It complements UNESCO’s
<a href="http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/portals-and-platforms/goap/" target="_blank">Global Open Access Portal</a> (GOAP).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
60,000 – 65,000 new resources identified each year. Includes
databases, websites, loose-leaf items.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ISSN established by UNESCO and the French Government. ISSN
does not assess the quality of resources – it just identifies them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There has been a significant growth in OA, facilitated by OA
systems, e.g. DSpace. Over 3,600 Institutional Repositories registered in ROAR.
Approx. 17,000 OA journals, 9,700 DOAJ journals – number currently decreasing
as the selection criteria is now more selective.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ISSN receives a lot of questions from researchers and
students asking if a journal has an ISSN does this mean that the journal is of
a very good quality? They also ask if they can get help finding a good quality
journal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ISSN itself can’t help. There
is confusion about their role. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ISSN Centre realised that researchers need tools to make
positive choices, so ROAD, as a short-term project, started at the end of April
last year and ran to the end of December last year, when the beta version was
launched. It is hoped that a complete service will be provided by the end of
this year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ROAD is a database of bibliographic data. It contains ISSN
records which have been enriched by information on journal quality. This is
done by matching the ISSN number with external sources, e.g. DOAJ, SCOPUS. IRs
are also listed if they have an ISSN.</div>

At the end of the presentation someone asked if there is a
way to identify on an ISSN record whether the item is OA. The answer is ‘yes’
as there is a tag in which specific codes for OA resources is entered.<br />
<br />
Another question asked was about the funding for ROAD and whether there is a long-term future for the service. The answer was that the service is seen as very important as it will give a general view of scholarly communication and also help researchers find good-quality OA resources and make informed choices about which ones to publish in and use. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Daryl started with an exploration of the environment in which modern librarians operate. Their challenges include physical space, internet issues, technology in general, the information explosion and user expectations. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The 10 key challenges of the sector were identified by Deloitte as: funding, rivalry, set
priorities, technology, infrastructure, link to outcomes, attracting
talent, sustainability (green policies), widening access and regulation</span></span>.<br /><br />She compared space issues to the migration of people to cities - l</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ots of people are moving to very densely populated areas. </span></span>100 years ago, 20% of people lived in cities, but by 2010, it was over 50%, then by 2030, it should be 60%, then up to 70% 20 years later. Also, in the 1950s, roughly 400,000 students were in higher education in the UK, but this number is now 2.3 million! So it's no surprise that libraries are exploding too. The Harvard libraries were first set up in the 1700s with 400 books; now they hold over 17.9 MILLION items and are still expanding. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every 2 days now we create as much information
as we did from the dawn of civilisation until 2003; </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">users want
information now and want it delivered quickly.</span></span></span></span> The weekday edition
of the New York Times contains more information than the average person
would see in a lifetime in 17th century England! </span></span>If we did nothing about library shelf space by the end of the 21st century, we would be short by about 450 linear kilometres - never mind that space costs libraries on average £63/sq meter per year. Plus there are other space issues; </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">she showed an example of students setting up a Facebook group to lobby for more study space in one UK university; library management acceded to their wishes, they are after all the customers/consumers. </span>Daryl quoted a university librarian, who said to a British Library librarian: </span>‘We have so much stuff and so little space’.<br /><br />The UK Research Reserve (UKRR) is a collaborative coordinated sustainable approach to long-term retention, storage and access to low use print research journals. Its objectives: de-duplication to release space & realise savings, while preserving research material & providing access.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />However, this meant a cultural change in the way that member libraries work. It works with a core approach: all member libraries are viewed as one, with one retained core collection (not many pips!). UKRR oversees offering, to processing (on a 6 month cycle), to creating the core collection. The British Library provides (or is given) one copy for circulation, with 2 backup copies held in member libraries. UKRR is funded by HEFCE and now in phase 2 with 29 members along with a continued partnership with the British Library. 87,000 meters' worth of holdings, or 74,000 holdings, have been offered, with 81% (70,470 meters) disposed of; 18% were to be retained by member libraries. This results in a £2 million estate savings per annum, with ~£21million capital savings. Daryl </span></span>s<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">howed
the process of UKRR identification, starting with shelf checking (with the British Library)
and scarcity checking (across member collections). They use LARCH
(Linked Automated Register of Collaborative Holdings), a </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">tailor made system</span></span>, for this work. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The 'long tail' as a business model has been adopted by Amazon amongst others: it says that, if you sell less of more with a large enough distribution channel, you will still make an effective profit. In the UKRR model, popularity equates to cost and products equate to titles; for a single institution, it would be costly to maintain, but it’s effective across many institutions in this context. A certain few titles are offered very often (50+ times) where over 10,000 titles have only been offered once; for the institutions who deal with those 10,000 titles, it would be too costly to deal with them on their own but it’s easier as a group exercise. Daryl showed a chart of topics for the UKRR top 50 titles - these were mostly sci-med titles.<br /><br />UKRR member benefits include: £26.16 for each meter of in-scope material offered to UKRR; premium delivery service from the British Library; clear aims and targets; coherent approach; spring cleaning; advocacy; a platform to share experience and best practices; also, support in ‘crisis’ situations (i.e., accidental discard or loss).<br /><br />HEFCE support is likely to end in 2015, but organisations who didn’t join when UKRR was first launched are still expressing interest. An internal member survey, along with external consultation, shows there may be potential for a new phase with a new business model - changing from a top-down programme to a grass-roots initiative. It is hoped that a new phase would begin in 2015, just after the current phase. It is proposed to have 2 types of membership - premier and access (for current members who wish to continue to access member benefits, but do not want to offer new titles) - with all current benefits remaining. One modification for the new model might be the removal of the scarcity checking process. What other issues could be addressed? Further de-duplication with new policies? Data sharing? Best practices? International initiatives? There will be a meeting at this year’s IFLA to think about these issues. Daryl mentioned similar initiatives in Finland, France, Spain and Norway and showed comparisons of these with UKRR.<br /><br />Another area for UKRR to explore would be monographs; in 2011, they held a Strategic Management of Monographs discussion forum which seemed to indicate there wasn’t a need, but it keeps coming up time and again (the White Rose initiative in Yorkshire is a smaller scale monographs de-dup project). A working group will be set up to consider this.<br /><br />They are hoping to hear back from current UKRR members by the end of April 2014 re. joining phase 3, and are looking at a 3-year period from February 2015 for continuing members as well as new ones. They will also try to open up UKRR data for the benefit of the whole community. Finally, Daryl reminded us this is a time of change, with a wide range of challenges and uncertainties surrounding digital content. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some argue print has even more value in the digital era for users and libraries</span></span> - it still gives us control and absolute ownership of content. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also, studies have shown that </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">academics
in scientific fields are happier with electronic provision of their
journals (than those in humanities which is understandable), but when
asked if they were totally comfortable with this and whether they
would be happy to see hard copies go, they were not as positive. </span></span></span></span>The UKRR mission to support UK libraries with print journal issues has not been completed in their opinion - they will see if others feel the same way.<br /><br />During the Q&A, there was discussion about UKRR USPs (unique selling points) - shelf/scarcity checking is a major part of the benefit, along with libraries promising retention, so perhaps this should be continued into phase 3. Also, the British Library takes in less than 2% of what is offered to fill gaps, showing they have been working well with covering UK HE needs - however, it’s less clear whether there are enough copies to fill in 2-3 collections!</span></span>Paula Cuccurullohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04072039494473764021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677797369925503856.post-31851192497708534842014-04-22T12:12:00.000+01:002014-04-22T12:13:37.155+01:00Breakout A: JiscLAMP: shining a light on our analytics and usage data<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Presented by: <a href="mailto:b.showers@jisc.ac.uk" target="_blank">Ben Showers</a> (Jisc), <a href="mailto:joy.palmer@manchester.ac.uk" target="_blank">Joy Palmer</a> (Mimas) and <a href="mailto:g.stone@hud.ac.uk" target="_blank">Graham Stone</a> (University of Huddersfield)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ben’s role at this breakout session was to introduce the topic and the 2 speakers. He pointed out that most of the session's topics aren’t absolutely new; Jisc has been working with library data since 2007 (projects with Huddersfield, Mimas etc). JiscLAMP (Library Analytics and Metrics project) or LAMP has the same aims but a much bigger scale. Also, the terminology has changed - activity data has become analytics. The aims include supporting service development and improving user experience, as well as lowering the barriers to use of this data. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Graham Stone then gave context for LAMP and information on the last year in the project. It has been about 10 years at Huddersfield since Dave Pattern’s been in post messing about with the added value features of sites like Amazon and Tesco, wondering why library sites can’t be more like them. 4 years ago, Graham and the Huddersfield library director presented data from their library equality review (and from the Huddersfield registry), stating that they believed they'd found a link between library usage (analytics) and student attainment; however, others wanted more proof.<br /><br />Not long after this, they were funded by Jisc for a Library Impact Data Project (across 8 universities). The hypothesis was that there was a signification correlation across universities between library activity data and student attainment, via looking at final grade achieved, books borrowed, e-resource accesses, school or faculty of each student etc. The project showed a statistical significance between grade and library usage across the project, with 33,000 students included). It is important to note that this is NOT a cause and effect relationship! Also, it is NOT a correlation, the hypothesis wasn’t workable under the given wording - this has been more carefully considered since! They then got Phase 2 money from Jisc to delve more deeply into the Huddersfield data for 2000 FT undergraduates. The additional data included for Phase 2 covered demographics, academic disciplines, retention data, on/off campus use, breadth and depth of e-resource use, UCAS points (entry data) - all of this supported the findings of Phase 1. Their conclusions: there is a statistical significance for demographics such as age, gender, ethnicity & country of origin (example: Chinese students used e-resources less); there is a statistical significance across top level subjects and within these disciplines; there is a connection between library use and retention; the depth/breadth of a collection may make a difference. At the same time, other surveys were also looking at the importance of analytics to academic libraries, as well as the issues of sharing data about usage with other institutions [most institutions (91%) do not mind if institutions are anonymised or benchmarked].<br /><br />All of this was the jumping-off point for LAMP, a joint project between Mimas and Huddersfield (with assistance from <a href="https://twitter.com/ellenscollins" target="_blank">Ellen Collins</a>). Joy came in to talk about LAMP. She is also involved with Copac at Mimas and had studied using activity data to drive functions.<br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The main question of the project is: can they collect data from institutions and create tools that allow libraries to analyse how their resources are being used, when and by whom? Many services include dashboards for subscribers to see analytics, but they are not really answering this question. LAMP is also looking at what can be automated to assist users. What about the benefits of scale? This is especially important with issues of benchmarking (some reservations about this) against other institutions; no benchmarking without a critical mass of data, and it’s too early for that yet. What data can they use/get hold of? UCAS data, loan data, eResource logins etc. but not data on usage of individual items… yet. They need to look at this for the future (as this data would be important for collections management), but for the moment, the focus is on users not items.<br /><br />6 institutions are contributing data: Huddersfield, Salford, Wolverhampton, Exeter, De Montfort and Manchester. There are barriers to providing data; it is a very mixed picture across UK of where data sits at an institution and how easy it is to provide it for a project like this (business cases should incentivise provision). Also, the data wrangling to get this sorted was not glamorous - getting, analysing, cleaning and providing.<br /><br />Joy added a brief (important) word on ethics: should they be holding/analysing this type of data? There are concerns about Big Brother and data protection issues, telling the wrong types of stories etc… also, all students pay the same fees, shouldn’t they be treated the same? But what if they didn’t do this? What would the reaction be if institutions had this data but didn’t act on it? They have a duty to care for the individual wellbeing of their students. The project can also show how it complies with data protection issues.<br /><br />Working with an API to present the data also brings up questions: how should users work with data? What do they want to be able to do with it? Also: what do users do? What does the system do? There are many 'epic user stories' and use cases to cite; they don’t always help with the day-to-day uses of the data but they can still lead in the right direction.<br /><br />Joy showed sketches for ideas of the interface - not glamorous but some interesting ideas came out. There are also 'job stories' - step-by-step workflows of how those in different positions might want to work with the data. They showed that the idea of a shared library analytics service was feasible via working with data from these first universities. Also, they are continuing to demonstrate correlations between usage and attainment / usage and cohort (and attainment and cohort).<br /><br />Charts and graphs from the included data were shown, including pie chart using live data of male vs. female students and number of library loans. This can be taken out of context to tell a certain story, so is it always accurate? They can potentially signal if findings are statistically significant or not. Where exactly does user journey or workflow begin? How much do we assume users are analysing the data? Joy went through a test query created by Ellen Collins: ‘Here’s a simple question: how do humanities are social science students use books?’. It showed the different ways you can pitch this question, including mean book borrowing, or just by discipline (irregardless of relative size of discipline), which can inform different types of decisions (other factors may need to be considered, including who’s not borrowing, part time vs. full time etc.).<br /><br />There is now funding for Phase 2 of LAMP and they are now testing the ‘ugly prototype’ and working through ideas. LAMP wants to make data beautiful and compelling and they dashboard UI will be created through iterative testing/development. Other issues being looked at include ‘profiling’ individuals (what are ethical or legal issues?), whether Shibboleth can be used to more fully understand e-resource usage, integration of NSS (student satisfaction) data and SCONUL statistics, data literacy (what does it mean in this context? who needs it? what needs to be automated and what needs to be taught as a skill set?) and benchmarking (is it the killer app? is there a business case for the service if it doesn’t provide the capability to compare across institutions? if you do it, how does it work?). LAMP will be holding a workshop with SCONUL on 7 May, and will continue to work on business case after that. For now, they are focusing on the user interface but looking for more data contributors (and holding more LAMP workshops in future).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There was a question and answer session at the end which was very lively - I will include a few queries here. When asked about using <a href="http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/aim/raptor.aspx" target="_blank">RAPTOR</a>, Graham said he had thought it could be a key, but it anonymises too much via Shibboleth (EZProxy is less anonymising) - it could work if tweaked slightly; Ben said there was an attempt to bring <a href="http://jusp.mimas.ac.uk/" target="_blank">JUSP</a> and RAPTOR together but it didn’t work fully. Another person mentioned the flip side: re-presenting the anonymised data back to students could be very useful, had the team thought of this? Graham mentioned <a href="http://librarygame.co.uk/" target="_blank">Library Game</a>; Joy talked about knowledge infrastructures and visualisations as well as routes through information - this is ambitious but there is so much more that can be done for research purposes; Ben said the student view on data had been considered since the beginning, but the current project needs to be tackled first. A publisher asked: would the data be fed back to publishers? This is what they would love to have and are unable to get! Graham said this is not the first publisher to say that - Joy agreed that they can start to think about how this would connect with REF and provision of resources. Someone asked about tracking the impact of materials in repositories, OA resources etc; Joy mentioned that <a href="http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/" target="_blank">IRUS</a> is aggregating access to Open Access resources. The repository is still seen by many academics as a step or hurdle, not so much as a benefit - you would need to use other metrics to measure that impact in the brave new world of the web. Finally, one person asked whether there are certain types of data that would be too difficult to track, with too many confounding factors - how do you identify the ‘right’ kind of data? Joy says this comes back to data literacy - it is always very important to highlight that data is NOT truth and not a scientific object in its own right. That’s why it’s important to train, share, discuss etc - we have to be more like social scientists in considering variances and how watertight the visualisations are. Ben pointed out that LAMP isn’t the answer, more part of the dialogue; Graham agreed, and pointed out with all of this it’s not an absolute - don’t cancel a journal immediately if the stats are low, you must ask why first!</span></span>Paula Cuccurullohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04072039494473764021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677797369925503856.post-70790069446388125392014-04-22T10:55:00.001+01:002014-04-22T10:55:21.038+01:00Discovery: Plenary session 4The first plenary session of the last day of UKSG offered 4 perspectives on discovery. Below is a summary of each of the presentations followed by a round up of the discussion.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<h3>
<b>Discovery or Displacement?: a large-scale longitudinal study of the effect of discovery systems on online journal usage</b></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i>Michael Levine-Clark, University of Denver and John McDonald, University of Southern California.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The survey focused on whether implementing a discovery tool within a library increases usage of content. It looked at measuring if there is an effect, not why. The survey focused on the use of Primo, Summon, EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and WorldCat Local.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>Methodology:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Contacted libraries they knew had implemented a discovery system; asked implementation date, search box location and marketing effort used to promote the service.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Selected 33 libraries for 1st phase; 6 from each of 4 major discovery services
and 9 control libraries with no discovery service. Of these 28 were in the US, 2 in CA, 1 in UK,1 in AUS and in 1 NZ, most of whom had implemented discovery services in 2011. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The survey included data from 6 publishers and 9,206 journals, with 36% of observations from the largest publisher. Usage was compared using the COUNTER JR1 (full text downloads per title) reports the year before and the year
after implementation of the discovery service. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
All publishers available in all of the discovery services and to all of the libraries. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Each library only had one discovery service.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>Findings:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Within 6 of the libraries usage actually went down, this included one of the control
libraries</li>
<li><o:p> </o:p>97% confident that discovery tools have an impact on usage</li>
<li>Journal usage at Summon and Primo institutions increased more than with
other services</li>
<li>Control group shows usage naturally increases over time</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>Next steps:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<ul>
<li>Design and test for additional items including;</li>
<ul>
<li>Aggregator full text

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Presented the key findings of the UKSG/Jisc funded research project, 'Impact of library discovery technologies'. The study was UK focused. Work started in July 2013. Report released in Dec 2013.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>Objectives:</b><br />
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Evaluation of the impact of a RDS (Research Discovery
Systems) on usage</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>Methodology:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Phase 1: Survey of UK HE libraries</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
62 respondents</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Phase 2: Case studies of libraries and publishers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Collected JR1, BR2 and DB1 COUNTER reports</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Phase 3: Interviews with stakeholders</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br />
<b>Findings:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<ul>
<li>77% of UK HE libraries who responded are already using an RDS</li>
<li>Further 11% in process of implementing one</li>
<li>Summon, Primo and EDS accounted for 76% of systems in use</li>
<li>Libraries reported high levels of satisfactory; liked one stop shop
experience (Google like experience), felt they were getting better use of subscriptions – no silos</li>
<li>Undergraduates are seen as primary users of services</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Overall a RDS may positively influence content usage especially for ebooks, although this usage varies across institutions. For e<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">books the impact was positive, f</span><span style="text-indent: -24px;">or journals it was a mixed picture and for d</span><span style="text-indent: -24px;">atabases the results were inconclusive.</span>Many other factor can influence usage e.g. changes in titles and more data is needed to pick up trends and isolate these other factors.<br />
<br />
<b>Problems/challenges:</b><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Libraries unable to see how libraries subscriptions match coverage by RDS
systems</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Interoperability between systems difficult - There are problems if don't use the RDS system from the vendor you already work with for other systems within the library</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Incomplete metadata</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Publisher's concern about dilution of publisher brand when content is made available via a RDS system</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Lack of feedback/communication from the RDS vendor</span></li>

<b>Libraries in the cloud, on the
ground and in between</b></h3>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
At the start of her presentation Birte emaphasised that her presentation had been strongly influenced by other talks at the conference.<br />
<br />
Libraries live within RDS system, Students/researcher live in different worlds<br />
Things have changed, but still closer to the cards (library cards) than the bots</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Google results are much richer and provide a better user experience than library catalogue</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Google using semantics (schema.org), but libraries can do the same AND can evaluate quality control through author profile (ORCID's) and FoF (Friend of Friend) networks.<br />
Authoritative information needs to be created locally or obtained
through mining<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Search needs to be more than just a word-match. More services are taking user behaviour into account for example bX from ExLibris, but due to privacy rules libraries can’t use a lot of data e.g. what user has borrowed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Libraries need to add value, this can include supporting users to judge value, big data, semantics, collaborations, supporting different delivery channels and local tailoring.</div>

<h3>
<b>Thinking the unthinkable - doing away with the library
catalogue</b></h3>
<i>Simone Kortekaas, Utrecht University</i><b><o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
In 2012 Utrecht University built their own discovery tools, called Omega. Since then have found that more users reaching content from Scopus, Google Scholar etc. Library catologue usage dropping,
but usage of content increasing suggesting that users are finding other routes into content. Patrons switching faster than libraries; a 2010 survey revealed that 83% students start research from a search engine. In 2012 Utrecht University concluded they could shut down their own discovery service and not
replace it; needed to rethink role of library.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
A survey of users within the University revealed that most started research in Google Scholar. Before switched off of the library catalogue they had to prepare the students. Needed to offer them an
alternative, so in 2013 started communicating better ways of finding content, much of which has been done via social
media. As part of the changes they removed the search box, changed instruction/support, added libguides on effective
use of search engines. When the system was switched off there were no major complaints, but there was an enormous increase in searches from Google Scholar from their Proxy Server, so much so that Google thought there was crawler activity!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
To ensure their users are finding the correct content Utrecht University has added holding information to discovery tools e.g. Dutch national
catolugue and WorldCat, shared SFX knowledge bases with Google Scholar and Scopuus, opened the repository for harvesting and support easy authentication for off campus access; developed a bookmarklet (using Javascript) to browser to allow login
via University. Kortekaas said there is a lot of other work to be done by libraries rather than worrying about
discovery systems.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<h3>
<b>Discussion</b></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The idea of a library doing away with the library catalogue and relying on Google Scholar was quite a controversial one with many librarians feeling very uncomfortable with this idea. Kortekaas responded to say that you have to look outside library and see what is going on and how users finding are the content; the library didn't choose to go with Google, the users did! This change is responding to real user behaviour rather than what they think their users want; it is silly to try and pull them back into library discovery system, better to educate them on platforms already using.<br />
<br />
Joe Waas from CrossRef asked what would happen if Google Scholar just gave a month’s notice and shut
down (as they have done with other services). From my experience Google Scholar actually only drives a small percentage of traffic to content compared to Google Web Search, but it offers an easy way to find scholarly content, allows libraries to flag holdings information to their users and most importantly Google Scholar provides publishers and libraries with a communication channel with Google.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
There was also a lot of discussion about what libraries can add to bring the users back and how experimentation and really understanding what your users want is key.</div>
