In 2017 the Economist magazine, in a much quoted article said, ”the world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Smartphones and the internet have made data abundant, ubiquitous and far more valuable”. While data may be abundant, in the world of libraries, publishers and intermediaries it is typically siloed and the value and potential to improve services has barely begun to be realised. Ken will argue that, on their own, data from libraries, publishers or conventional intermediaries will not be enough to deliver the kinds of predictive analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that are emerging. Commercial companies and sector bodies like Jisc have begun to develop platforms that make use of data from a variety of sources. This will be an intensely competitive environment and it is not yet clear who the winners will be for, as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the world economic forum in January 2018, ‘whoever controls data will have control over the world in the future’.

Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.

Beyond Boundaries
1. Beyond Boundaries
Peter Robson, p.robson@leedsmet.ac.uk
Beyond boundaries
Peter Robson
p.robson@leedsmet.ac.uk
2. • “I used to think ..if there was
reincarnation , I wanted to come back as
the president or pope…now I want to be the
bond market: you can intimidate
everybody”.
Carville, J. quoted in Vaitlingham, R. (2001)
3. • Personal impressions
• Not based on any objective analysis
• Better that we tread on each others’ toes
than not at all.
• Some boundaries we take for granted….
and rightly so.
4. We start from the same point de départ…
don’t we??
• “How you gather, manage and use information will determine
whether you win or lose.”
– Gates, B. (1999)
• “La chance ne sourit qu’aux esprits bien préparés” (Pasteur)
• “Every business is an information business…information is the
glue that holds together the structure of all businesses.” (Evans
1997)
• “Unique feature (of the market economy is) precisely that it
organises economic activity around information.” (Drucker 1993)
• The big challenge (for businesses) will not be more or better inside
information, but to add outside information. (Drucker 2002)
5. But we have different foci..
• Academics may not be aware of practical
constraints affecting resource exploitation..
– E.g. simultaneous access to Athens resources.
• Academics’ appreciation of
library/librarians varies greatly.
• Never underestimate the ignorance of
academics as to resources available.
6. The critical role of information literacy..
• Librarians need to have academics on board.
• “Incorporating information literacy across curricula, ….. requires the
collaborative efforts of faculty, librarians, and administrators.”
(ACRL 1989)
• For most students this only matters in context of assessed work.
– Allocation of marks for exploiting value added tools
– .. Tools which are expensive.
• Alleged reluctance of many academic to take IL on board.
(McGuiness 2006)
• You will probably not get academic support without high level
endorsement.
• Is teaching of information literacy too narrowly focused on academic
context?
7. Induction/user education
• When do you do it?
• Why?
• To what extent are you relating it to students’ assessed
work?
• Is there a case for you contributing to assessment-focused
lectures??
• Do you get yourselves involved in helping final year
students prepare for interview?
• Do you invite academic recruits for personal instruction?
8. Are we/should we be at the Schengen
stage?
• We need our own areas of autonomy/individuality.
• This should not preclude active intervention to
support our respective roles
• Academics should expect more “invasion” by
librarians than vice versa.
• Perhaps include librarians on VLE module
discussion lists?
• Common sense/common courtesy have to rule.
9. Extending your boundaries:
teaching??
• Do you want to teach more than use of library /IT
resources?
• Do you have time?
• How will you be compensated? Remunerated?
• How will you get to grips with the bureaucracy of
teaching?
10. …or should you “stick to your knitting” ?
• Academics automatically assume basic
competences on the part of librarians.
– Shelves in order.
– Courtesy to all customers.
– Fast turn round of inter library loans.
– Speed of acquisitions procedures.
– Consultation on major initiatives.
– Awareness of new resources.
11. Extending your boundaries?- patents
information
• Can contribute to good assignments.
• Academics usually woefully ignorant of this
tool.
• Students enjoy the topic.
• An excellent free source now available..
http://gb.espacenet.com
• Long term strategic relevance for business.
12. Patents information: many pluses
•An information resource embracing all areas of technology.
• Access to unique information.
• Access to detailed technical information.
• Advance notice of new technology.
• Advance notice of new products.
• Identification of new applications for existing products.
• Identification of new customers.
• Monitoring of competitors’ innovative activity.
• Identification of “free technology”.
• Avoidance of duplication of research.
13. …and a few more
• Identification of potential licensees, joint-venture partners
• Avoidance of infringement of existing patents
• A means of identifying an important intangible asset.
• Information about individual inventors/researchers.
• A valuable information resource for university/high-school
project work.
• Information about prospective employers.
• Accessible information: esp@cenet:
http://gb.espacenet.com
• Cost-effective information.
• An information source used by successful manufacturing
companies world-wide.
14. …and a few drawbacks
• Unutterably boring.
• Many patented inventions are trivial.
• Many are unworkable.
• No peer-reviewing.
• Deliberate obfuscation evident in titles.
• Quality of examination can be suspect.
• Volume of documentation.
• Investment-critical searching needs experts.

30. Breakout session: Boundaries: do you
have any, do they matter?
• What boundaries in your workplace between
librarians and academics constrain your work?
• (How) do these have negative impact on the
student experience?
• How do these impact on your own self-
development?
• How can the impact of these constraints be
mitigated/minimised? (Do you want them to
be??!!)
