It houses 2.5 million items of extraordinary range and diversity and has a growing collection of material relating to contemporary medicine and biomedical science in society. The Library’s digitisation programme will make a substantial proportion of its holdings freely available on the web, creating a world-class online resource. The Library is situated within Wellcome Collection, the free visitor destination for the incurably curious and is part of the Wellcome Trust, a global charitable foundation dedicated to improving health. SUPPORTING SPONSORS The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom. It provides world class information services, supports traditional and digital scholarship in all its forms, and engages researchers and public with its collections, online resources, events and exhibitions. These collections encompass all fields of knowledge, cover 3,500 years, and represent every age of civilisation – from the earliest written records to the digital collections of today. The British Library website – www.bl.uk – provides access to some 4 million digitised collection items and over 40 million pages. We want to make this intellectual heritage accessible to everyone for research, inspiration and enjoyment. Jisc is the UK higher and further education sectors’ not-for-profit organisation for digital service and solutions. It operates shared digital infrastructure and services, negotiates sector-wide deals with IT vendors and commercial publishers, and provides trusted advice and practical assistance for universities and colleges. #DCDC15 3 WELCOME TO DCDC15 Welcome to the conference! We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all speakers and delegates to this year’s conference, Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities: Exploring new digital destinations for heritage and academia. This is the third collaborative conference between The National Archives and Research Libraries UK and brings together over 450 delegates from almost 300 organisations. We have been delighted by the level of interest and enthusiasm for this year’s event, in part a reflection of the importance and relevance of this year’s theme. The last two decades have witnessed a flourishing of digital content across the heritage and academic sectors. Whether through the creation of digital discovery tools, mass digitisation and online delivery of content, or the creation of new virtual user interfaces; digital technology has come to complement traditional analogue formats to create an altogether richer user experience. Our audiences have gone from being consumers of heritage content to active creators and curators, helping us to contextualise and interpret our rich and diverse collections. Digital platforms have democratised the experience and interpretation of heritage collections, not replacing the richness and importance of a physical encounter, but complementing these and widening their appeal. In doing so, the development of digital technologies have presented new opportunities for collaboration not only between our institutions, academics and sectors, but also new ways of collaborating with our users, whatever their purposes. Digital platforms have provided many exciting opportunities, yet they have also presented new challenges for heritage and academic organisations. In what ways can we ensure that digital engagement is truly ‘engaging’? What is the relationship between online ‘hits’ and actual footfall? How can we better capture the meaningful ‘impact’ of engagement via digital means? And during a time of austerity, how can all sectors make the case for innovative digital engagement, not as an indulgent luxury, but as a necessity to preserve the broader relevance and wider-recognition of collections? These are some of the questions we will be trying to answer over the next two days, helped by the fact that the organisations represented here come from right across the cultural, heritage and academic sectors, and are of all shapes, sizes and orientation. As with previous conferences, inclusivity sits at the heart of DCDC15, something underlined by the absence of a conference fee. This would not be possible had it not been for the generous support of our headline sponsor the Wellcome Library. We would also like to thank our supporting sponsors, the British Library and Jisc, for their invaluable contribution and support, and our exhibitors. Finally, thanks has to be paid to all of the conference speakers for submitting such a wide variety of papers and workshops, and for being so willing to share their thoughts, experiences and ideas, in what we hope will be an informal, positive and friendly forum for debate and discussion. We look forward to meeting you over the next two days! Jeff James David Prosser Chief Executive and Keeper Executive Director The National Archives Research Libraries UK #DCDC15 4 DCDC15 PROGRAMME DAY ONE :: MONDAY 12 OCTOBER 2015 TIME EVENT PLACE 15:00 - 17:00 Archives+ tour Archives+ Archives+ has created an archive centre of excellence in the heart of Manchester. The project brings together statutory, university and voluntary organisations to provide a holistic range of archive and heritage services from one location. Archives+ raises awareness of and provides easy access to our histories for the broadest possible audiences. DCDC15 delegates will be able to tour the superb facilities at Archives+, based at the Central Library in Manchester, to see why it has become a major cultural destination in the North West. Attendees should first report to the main foyer of Manchester Central Library. They will then be assigned to two groups. Address: Manchester Central Library, St Peter’s Square, City Centre, M2 5PD Nearest tram station: Deansgate-Castlefield 18:30 - 22:00 Pre-conference evening reception IWM North Last year’s DCDC delegates told us they wanted more time to network. So we have arranged a pre-conference evening reception at the stunning Imperial War Museum North to allow you to get to know fellow delegates, speakers and the conference organisers before the event. The IWM reception will include the presentation of awards to the first cohort of Transforming Archives trainees by Clem Brohier, Chief Operating Officer of The National Archives. Transforming Archives is a partnership project, led by The National Archives and delivered in partnership with the host archive services, the Archives and Records Association (ARA), the Scottish Council on Archives (SCA) and the Centre for Archive and Information Studies (CAIS) at the University of Dundee. The Transforming Archives traineeships are funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the Skills for the Future programme.

  • Impact on Open Access on Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums
    The Impact of Open Access on Galleries, Libraries, Museums, & Archives Effie Kapsalis Smithsonian Emerging Leaders Development Program April 27, 2016 Executive Summary For the purpose of this document, “open access” is defined as making public domain materials open for use without any restrictions, and making copyrighted materials available under the provisions of fair use (non-commercial, educational). More than 50 institutions have, to varying degrees, pursued open access over the last decade, removing technical and copyright barriers to their digitized collections and resources. A strengthened institutional brand, increased use and dissemination of collections, and increased funding opportunities have been some of the benefits associated with open-access initiatives. A recent Andrew W. Mellon Foundation study, “Images of Works of Art in Museum Collections: The Experience of Open Access, a Study of 11 Museums,” found that among the museums studied, none that enforced copyright restrictions made any significant surplus or profit against their expenditures. It concluded, “real and perceived gains far outweigh the real and perceived losses for every museum in the study that has made a transition to an open access approach.”1 Recently, several funders, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, have made open access either a requirement for gift recipients or a factor in assessing potential gifts. Furthermore, President Barack Obama’s Open Government Initiative, launched in 2009, has built an increasing expectation from the public that all government entities will move towards practices that are more open, which places federal entities at risk for public perception of not pursuing best practices.

Science (Berhampur University) SMIT, Ankushpur (Berhampur) Lead Knowledge Partnership: My best wishes to KIIT University for organizing such a nice LDP, which will certainly help the fellow library professionals to meet the emerging challenges in librarianship today and hope this trend should continue in future Introduction Open-access mandates have almost doubled globally that has elapsed since Harvard’s mandate in May 2008’, Steven Harnard, University of Southhampton, U.K. (Nature, 2009). New trend the first International Open Access Week, 2009 at The National Library of Sweden called Open Access, ‘promote maximum accessibility and visibility of works produced by researchers, teachers and students’. Open Access Forum 2011: UNESCO UNESCO Open Access strategy approved by the UNESCO Executive Board 187th & 36th session of the General Conference. The invited experts from all over the world discussed how to create a network collaborative platform to promote Open Access to scientific information and research India: An” announcement made by CSIR, urging the establishment of institutional repositories in each of its more than laboratories & conversion of all their journals to open access.” (Chan, et al, 2009). The above demonstrates a current worldwide interest in and willingness to embrace open access. Problems Rising costs of subscriptions Permission barriers imposed by publishers Barred access to the extent to research and care Lack of information Lack awareness Lack of interest and willingness to do The now-annual event has been expanded from a single day to accommodate widespread global interest in the movement toward open, public access to scholarly research results.” (OpenAccessWeek.org, 2009).

  • Medical Library Leadership in Scholarly Communication* Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP See End of Article for Author’S Affiliation
    1 AWARDS AND LECTURES: JANET DOE LECTURE DOI: dx.doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2021.1127 The move to open: medical library leadership in scholarly communication* Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP See end of article for author’s affiliation. Over the years, health sciences librarians have been change agents, leading the charge on issues of importance to the profession and the communities we serve. From its founding in 1898 with the Exchange, the Medical Library Association (MLA) has been dedicated to improving access to health information. In 2003, the Board of Directors published a statement supporting open access to information generated from federally funded scientific and medical research and maintained that having access to timely, relevant, and accurate information is vital to the health of the nation and its education and research programs. At some financial risk, the association made the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) open access and published the entire archive of JMLA and its predecessor, the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, in PubMed Central. Nearly two decades later, the promise of open access and open science finally seems to be coming to fruition. In the 2020 Janet Doe Lecture, Chris Shaffer, AHIP, described the ways that MLA has led the profession, standing behind a shared vision and “walking the walk.” In challenging listeners to embrace open science, he affirmed that, as leaders in improving access to health sciences information since 1898, medical librarians must work in the open science arena to realize our vision “that quality information is essential for improved health.” INTRODUCTION Each of you has influenced my work as a Thank you for the gracious introduction, Gerald librarian from the very beginning of my career.
