Library Connect webinars feature library professionals, researchers and product experts. In the series, they discuss best practices, professional experiences, and new trends and topics within library and information science.

Are you trying to break silos and show the value of a well-organized information center? 
Join this webinar where Teresa Silveira, Affiliate Professor at Engineering Faculty, Oporto University will show how integrated management of information resources can speed up business development and boost innovation.
Innovation happens when powerful information meets clearly defined goals and a will to change. The application of the information mapping technique is based on the evaluation of the nature,  need, potential usability, coverage, impact and return on investment (ROI). The enhancement of information resources is a strategic action that helps companies take full advantage of their intellectual capital and more easily achieve their business goals.

The secret power of information resources: Information mapping and ROI

Interested in an improved security experience and increased patron satisfaction and usage? 

Just like many libraries around the world, University of Johannesburg library struggled with providing their patrons with remote access to their subscribed resources throughout the prevailing months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This is until they decided to move to federated access by implementing OpenAthens to improve patrons’ access experience.

Join us on July 13, 2021 as Janina Van der Westhuizen, Head of Technical Services and her colleagues at University of Johannesburg share their patron access change management best practices and what the results have been so far. The session will be moderated by Kelechi Okere, Global Director, Seamless Access at Elsevier and we will also be joined by James Edwards, International Sales Manager at OpenAthens.

There will be time for Q & A  with the speakers so please come with any questions you may have.

Best practice for access to library e-resources during the pandemic and beyond

In need of ideas of for transforming patron access to library e-resources during the pandemic and beyond?
 
Join us on June 22, 2021 for a talk with Caroline Gauld, Manager Discovery at The University of Melbourne, Mark Placito, Senior Director, Identity at Elsevier and Christos Skoutas,
Senior Business Development Manager, OpenAthens.
Mark will moderate the discussion with Caroline about The University of Melbourne’s move to federated authentication-only to Elsevier resources using OpenAthens and the very positive impact of this move on patron experience and usage. 
Caroline will describe her organization’s set up, their library collection and the user experience research they did that led to the move to federated authentication-only  via OpenAthens.
It will be an open discussion so please come prepared with questions you might have.

Research assessment should not be centered solely on bibliometrics such as publication and citation metrics but should encompass other measures that address the broad range of assessment-related questions. These cover research inputs, outputs and outcomes, such as funding, collaboration, usage, commercialization and the adoption of innovation. As more diverse data sources and metrics are used, a richer and more informative picture of research emerges.

The International Center for the Study of Research (ICSR) was established by Elsevier in 2019 with a mission to further the study of research and thus to contribute to the evidence base supporting the practice of research strategy, evaluation and policy. In 2020, ICSR and Elsevier signed the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and endorsed the Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics, two internationally-recognized statements of best practice in responsible research assessment.

In this Library Connect webinar, Christopher Belter will discuss what responsible research assessment might look like in practice for a large biomedical funding agency. ICSR staff members Andrew Plume and Holly Falk-Krzesinski will then discuss the recommendations of both DORA and the Leiden Manifesto and their implications for Elsevier as well as for librarians and their users.

Advancing responsible research assessment: implications for librarians

Mapping and Understanding Research Impact at the Convergence of Health Science

Now more than ever libraries need to ensure their patrons can access electronic content when on and off campus. But how is this done in a secure, reliable, and efficient way? Can improved access to content improve learners and researcher’s engagement and academic results? 
Publishers and service providers support a range of access methods including federated access. But what is federated access and what are the benefits?
In this webinar, we will be exploring how OpenAthens can facilitate access to resources on and off campus focusing on:
•	exactly what is meant by federated access
•	why federated is the best choice for remote access 
•	the importance of a great user experience for increasing the usage of your digital library collections

A small team at CCT College Dublin was given a very big goal. A new IR and faculty profiling tool from Digital Commons was provided to enable strategic developments pertaining to institutional scholarly activity. In the span of little more than a year – and in the midst of COVID - Team CCT  has made quick strides in using their IR to underpin and showcase teaching and learning activities, student achievement, quality and enhancement projects, research activity (including student research), and sectoral engagement. Although in the relatively early stages of development, the IR is now successfully embedded across many institutional activities with further plans in the pipeline which will be explored in this webinar.

During this one hour program we’ll cover the following topics:
1.  Library Services and the IR Team at CCT College  
2.  Tailoring IR Design To Your Context 
3.  Strategic Application of the IR at CCT 
4.   Student Work, A Catalyst for IR Engagement

There will be time for Q&A so be ready for an engaging conversation

Open science tools for discovering, promoting and sharing research

Librarians play a critical role in ensuring their researchers, students and faculty have access to research and the learning tools they need to be successful.

The global pandemic has forced educational institutions to close campuses and shift learning and research services to remote options. This shift took many people by surprise, but not to librarians who were already prepared to provide remote access and online resources to their users without disruption. In this webinar, librarians share their best practices on enabling uninterrupted access to research and education.

Topics covered in this webinar include:

•Infrastructure readiness – were policies in place for potential university lockdowns or was there a need to provide them?
•What worked right away and what improvements were made to services that didn’t work out of the box?
•Communicating and promoting available remote access options to users
•Challenges to working remotely
•Showcasing the move to remote online learning

Presenters:

Emily Singley, Head of Library Systems, Boston College
Naomi Visser, E-Resources Librarian, Stellenbosch University

Librarian best practices for uninterrupted access to research & education

How does the current reward system reflect how we value research? Is a reform of this system necessary to encourage researchers to engage in open science activities? How do current and proposed reward systems support early career researchers? 

Questions on how academics' careers and contributions are assessed and valued are under discussion. This webinar brings together a panel of experts on open science and career assessment to focus on the current reward system and the potential for its reform. This promises to be a lively exchange of ideas between representatives of Eurodoc, Young Academy of Europe, and Elsevier. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of possible changes to how we consider academic value, retain mobility internationally and beyond academia, and create incentives for open science activities.

Join our panel of experts as they discuss this timely topic.
