ATGthePodcast 260 - Navigating the Future of Libraries with Michael Levine-Clark
In this episode, guest host Michael Upshall talks with Michael Levine-Clark, Dean of the University of Denver Library. He discusses his academic background, the evolution of libraries, and the changing role of librarianship in the digital age. He emphasizes the importance of library staff, current issues in library metrics, and the impact of open research and AI on library services. Levine-Clark also shares insights on hiring trends in libraries and the role of institutional repositories in promoting open access. Takeaways Michael's academic background in history informs his perspective on librarianship. The role of libraries has shifted from being the main source of information to helping users navigate a complex information landscape. Investing in library staff is crucial for adapting to the evolving needs of users. Current library metrics and agreements need better data for effective decision-making. Hiring trends in libraries are expanding beyond traditional MLS qualifications. Institutional repositories have not significantly promoted open research, but they serve compliance needs. Open research initiatives are largely driven by funder mandates rather than library efforts. AI has the potential to transform library services, particularly in improving user experience and metadata creation. The library's web presence is becoming more important than the physical building. Personal interests like photography and cooking provide balance to Michael's professional life. The video of this interview can be found here:

ATGthePodcast 259 - Digital Science and The State of Open Data report
Today Caroline Goldsmith, Associate Director of the Charleston Hub welcomes back Dr. Mark Hannell, who’s the Vice President of Open Research at Digital Science and Founder of FigShare, along with Graham Smith, the Open Data Program Manager at Springer Nature. In this episode, Dr. Mark Hannell and Graham Smith discuss the collaboration between Digital Science, FigShare, and Springer Nature on the State of Open Data report. They explore the purpose of the report, the methodology used, key findings, and the implications for researchers and stakeholders. The conversation emphasizes the importance of data sharing in academic publishing and the need for practical support and metrics to drive change in open data practices. Takeaways The State of Open Data report aims to understand researchers' attitudes towards open data. Survey data often reflects perceptions rather than actual practices. Quantitative analysis complements survey data to provide deeper insights. There are significant differences in data sharing practices across countries. Strong data policies from funders correlate with better data sharing. Education around open data principles is crucial for improving practices. The report highlights the need for practical support beyond policy mandates. Metrics for data sharing can incentivize researchers to share their data. Open data should be a standard expectation in research, not an exception. The findings of the report are openly available for public access. The video of this episode is here:

Last July, to understand more about how the research world is transforming, what’s influencing change and how roles are impacted, Digital Science reached out to the community through a global survey and in-depth interviews: “We need answers to pressing issues and there is a growing expectation for research to deliver. But increasing demands, tightening budgets, and lack of infrastructure can stand in the way of progress. We need solutions and many are turning to emerging technologies for support.” In this interview, Dr. Hahnel shares the key findings from this survey and the interviews in the Research Transformation Report.

ATGthePodcast 255 - Rubric Cubed: A New Method in Collections Decions-Making

ATGthePodcast 255 - Rubric Cubed: A New Method in Collections Decions-Making
Audio from the 2023 Charleston Conference from the session titled: Rubric Cubed: A New Method in Collections Decions-Making presented by Erin Gallagher, Chair, Acquisitions & Collections Services, University of Florida; Courtney Pyche, Public Health Liaison Librarian, University of Florida Health Science Center Library; Ariel Pomputius, Health Sciences Liaison Librarian, University of Florida Libraries; and Tara Cataldo, STEM Collections and Research Metrics Librarian, University of Florida Libraries. Library professionals have long made use of evaluative tools for decision-making around collection development. Traditional tools are adequate for many collection development scenarios, but the increasing variety of acquisitions models, combined with entrenched budgetary challenges, present the need for new methods and inventive thinking. Enter the rubric! If you thought rubrics were stuffy or excessive, or only used to grade college essays, it’s time to take another look. Rubrics are not only instruments of collection analysis, but informative objects that help guide their own values and philosophies in their collection’s practices. These four librarians from the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida have been exploring the use of rubrics for collection development. They’ll share two rubrics currently in use. One designed for open access investments and another for monograph purchasing decisions. They’ll also share stories about the birth of the rubrics and impart practical, ground-floor applications of the rubrics through real-world examples, giving ideas for evaluating collections decisions in a unique and collaborative way, helping Publishers and vendors to strengthen their understanding of what these library partners value and prioritize.

ATGthePodcast 253 - Stewarding Electronic Resources During Challenging Times
Audio from the 2023 Charleston Conference from the session titled: Stewarding Electronic Resources During Challenging Times presented by Denise Branch, Head Electronic and Continuing Resources at Virginia Commonwealth University, Beth Bernhardt, Consortia Account Manager, Oxford University Press, and Tamar Ganor, Content Product Manager, Ex Libris, a Clarivate Company. Libraries rely heavily on electronic resources to fulfill users’ research needs. They are constantly faced with limited staffing, increasing volume of electronic resources, and a complicated mix of systems, standards, platforms, vendors, and authentication models. The tools that are used to manage these resources are constantly evolving, along with users’ needs and expectations. The staff who manage electronic resources are expected to be skilled and possess up-to-date knowledge of trends. Successful work plans are put in place to identify, define, and establish goals for tracking and managing electronic resources and help libraries to handle unforeseen challenges. Collaboration with internal and external stakeholders is essential when libraries want to deliver enhanced discovery and access and expert troubleshooting. All of these techniques open up a window for outstanding customer service. We’ll hear what the library at Virginia Commonwealth University is doing to effectively steward electronic resources to reduce the bumps in the road and give users what they want.

ATGthePodcast 252 - Understanding the Impact on Print Revenues When University Press Books are Open Access
Audio from the 2023 Charleston Conference from the session titled: Understanding the Impact on Print Revenues When University Press Books are Open Access presented by Erich van Rijn, Director, University of California Press; Laura Brown, Ithaka, John Sherer, University of North Carolina Press; and Miranda Bennett, Director of Shared Collections, California Digital Library. In February 2022, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the Association of University Presses (in partnership with Ithaka S+R) a grant to study the impact of open access books on the sales of print books. While there is a prevailing desire among members of the Association of University Presses (AUPresses) to do more OA publishing, presses cite long-term, sustainable funding models as the top problem in implementing OA strategies, and the sale of print books remains a critical cost-recovery mechanism even for open access titles. In this session they will share both an overview of the results and key findings of the data collected from university presses as well as some perspectives from one of the participating publishers, and project co-Principal Investigator, and a collections librarian. They will also share perspectives on what impact we feel the data will have on publishing programs, library collections, and open access strategies.
