Dr. Leo S. Lo, Dean of University Libraries at the University of New Mexico, will present four divergent scenarios developed through extensive stakeholder engagement, highlighting critical uncertainties and strategic focal points for libraries and research institutions. These scenarios range from democratized and socially integrated AI to autonomous AI systems, offering insights into potential challenges and opportunities.</p> <p>Alan Oliver, Director of Community Engagement at Clarivate, will then discuss the work of Clarivate’s Academia AI Advisory Council, which includes Leo and 12 other Council members representing libraries and academia across 9 countries and 4 continents. The Advisory Council addresses key issues identified in the scenarios, such as bias mitigation, data integrity, and the evolving role of libraries.</p> <p>This session aims to stimulate strategic thinking and foster dialogue on preparing for an AI-influenced future in scholarly communication and research practices.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-20 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fceeed83eb1fb8aa57550b5c4ce31921"><strong>Alan Oliver </strong></p> <p>Clarivate</p> </div> </div> <details class="wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow"><summary>See Biography</summary> <p>To follow </p> </details> </div> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-21 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="306" height="284" src="https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Leo-Lo_1sq.png" alt="" class="wp-image-18159" srcset="https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Leo-Lo_1sq.png 306w, https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Leo-Lo_1sq-300x278.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-48f9d0b2422628ac9f9f62eb09680115"><strong>Leo Lo </strong></p> <p>University of New Mexico</p> </div> </div> <details class="wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow"><summary>See Biography</summary> <p>Dr. Leo Lo is the Dean of the College of University Libraries & Learning Sciences at the University of New Mexico.

Libraries very much can play a crucial role in making not only public engagement but also research outcomes happen in practice thus supporting both scientific and societal impact.</p> <p>Citizen Science can be seen as part of a global knowledge mobilization that can help solve wicked problems from climate change over health inequalities to extreme poverty (Hodgkinson et al. 2022) but is the same time manifesting itself very differently around research institutions and libraries (Kaarsted et al. 2023).

However, they are also incredibly influenced by the environment in which they find themselves, particularly by their research supervisor’s own behaviours and opinions around open research. Their status as students often limits their access to tools and support available to employed researchers. Equally, their status as researchers can lead to the assumption that they already understand the research and publishing landscape.<br><br>What can libraries do to support PGRs in becoming ethical and open researchers?

Senate House Library, Royal Holloway University of London, Central School of Speech & Drama, and King’s College London have come together, with help from Jisc, to trial joint licensing of a selection of e-resources.</p> <p>We didn’t know if this would be successful but adopted a “learning by doing” approach: try it and find out.

Since the introduction of electronic resources, fundamental changes to the work of the library have been underway. Leading a modern library that is subject to perpetual shifts in its priorities, mandate, and budget, requires a set of skills and competencies not taught in library or information science programs. A unique assortment of mentorship, executive coaching, business and/or legal training, and hard won experiences are required to be successful in this new environment. Contrary to popular belief, library directors have more in common with Chief Executive Officers than they realize. But far too often the transition to library leadership is sabotaged when the expectation to manage a collection is confronted with the reality of managing an organization. This conversation among library leaders will introduce the concept of the Library CEO, offering a practical framework for both current and aspiring leaders to become proactive in managing a high performance workplace.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-131 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="442" height="444" src="https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tony-Zanders-headshot-web.png" alt="" class="wp-image-17574" srcset="https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tony-Zanders-headshot-web.png 442w, https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tony-Zanders-headshot-web-300x300.png 300w, https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tony-Zanders-headshot-web-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ca04771fbe446fa5a0799d114d33411a"><strong>Tony Zanders</strong></p> <p>Skilltype </p> </div> </div> <details class="wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow"><summary>See Biography</summary> <p>Tony Zanders is an award-winning software entrepreneur and technology executive,  currently serving as the founder and CEO of Skilltype — a software platform for information professionals and their teams to analyze, develop, and share expertise.

In the wake of Plan S, a future fully Gold Open Access state seemed, for the first time, a possibility and then – to the concern of many stakeholders – a potential inevitability. Global market conditions in the interim, however, have made it increasingly difficult for publishers and libraries to negotiate OA agreements supporting a full transition to Gold OA. Instead, recent policy mandates have focused on immediate OA without the provision of financial support for Gold OA, effectively preferentially promoting Green OA. Concurrently, we’re seeing broader interest/adoption of the Rights Retention Strategy and a move away from paying APCs – and for the first time, we’re seeing a decline in the growth of Gold OA relative to pay-walled content. We’re also starting to see agreements suggesting financial support for zero embargo Green OA. This session seeks to examine the complex interplay and potential consequences of a shift in global policy mandates from Gold to Green and what it could mean for stakeholders across the industry, including researchers. Speakers will examine existential questions such as ‘What do we really want from OA?’, ‘What does a shift to green OA mean for subscriptions, TAs and the transition of the industry to fully OA?’, ‘How can Green OA routes be developed to better support researchers’ etc.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"></div> </div> <hr class="wp-block-separator alignwide has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background"/> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-137 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:10%"> <p></p> <p></p> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-136 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"></div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e0101e1f7f96fa30faba8e7771c429f2"><strong>End-to-end accessibility: joining the dots<br>between publisher practice and user experience</strong></p> <p></p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"></div> </div> <hr class="wp-block-separator alignwide has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background"/> </div> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-atbs-tab"><div class="single-tab" data-tab-id="5" data-tab-parent-id="atbs-tabs-b3d8b3bc"> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-140 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:10%"> <p></p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-89130a355919a1784715e5e273a557cf"><strong>Database accessibility: Proactivity, transparency, buy-in. </strong></p> <p>More Information to follow.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-138 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aa4a5fbc803914c312e90f65d860aba5"><strong>Debi Roland`</strong></p> <p>University of the Arts London </p> </div> </div> <details class="wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow"><summary>See Biography</summary> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>As part of the Discovery Team in Library Services Debi has been involved in the procurement, management and use of e-resources since the advent of networked CD-ROMs and in the late 1990s, was part of a team which created a library presence for the University of the Arts London on the World Wide Web – The i page.

Policy developments and no-additional-cost agreements have expanded open access and highlighted barriers in publishing. More recently, attention has shifted to open research, but barriers in research and publishing systems persist. As negotiations are underway for post-Plan S agreements, this workshop will examine how publishing can better support open research practices, address barriers, and anticipate unintended consequences.

OA book usage data is even more important at this very moment when EU-funded projects such as PALOMERA worked to support policy alignment for OA monographs in Europe, and the UK has seen the implementation of their new 2024 UKRI policy including long-format outputs. It begs the question, how can OA book impact be monitored more effectively to help inform policy making?</p> <p>In 2022, the Mellon Foundation awarded a project team led by the University of North Texas, OpenAIRE, and OPERAS to develop “governance building blocks” for the OA Book Usage Data Trust in line with both the Principles of Open Infrastructure and protocols emerging from the Design Principles for International Data Spaces (IDS). Over 24 months, stakeholders leveraged in-depth community consultations to produce a rulebook to guide participation in the data space community, define Data Trust membership benefits, and get feedback on cost-recovery and functional requirements. In 2024, the Data Trust’s Technical Advisory Committee and Board of Trustees selected an experienced IDS technical team to build out the technical OA Book Usage Data Trust infrastructure. Using a staged development approach focused on “scaling small”, a limited proof of concept IDS focused on the exchange of COUNTER item-level views and downloads data was developed and tested with alpha cohort partners (JSTOR, LibLynx, Michigan University Publishing, Punctum Books, Taylor & Francis) with plans to extend IDS security and auditing functionality to support additional data exchange use cases in beta cohorts of publishers, presses, aggregators, and additional data analytics providers (e.g. EBSCO, OAPEN, Longleaf).</p> <p>This poster will present the project update with the findings to date and provide visitors with interactive QR codes.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:45%"> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-145 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="465" height="479" src="https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/C-Drummond-sq.png" alt="" class="wp-image-18039" srcset="https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/C-Drummond-sq.png 465w, https://www.uksg.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/C-Drummond-sq-291x300.png 291w" sizes="(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <p class="has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1104045268a45155d5a3bff291a97023"><strong>Christina Drummond </strong></p> <p>OA Book Usage Data Trust / University of North Texas</p> </div> </div> <details class="wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow"><summary>See Biography</summary> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>As Executive Director of the OA Book Usage Data Trust effort, Christina leads research teams to develop an extensible scholarly communications focused International Data Space (IDS) through an OA book usage data focused proof of concept.
