UKeiG is pleased to announce a one-day workshop - Open Access, Open Data,
Open Science: Anatomy of a Disruptive Technology – on May 24th at CILIP's
headquarters in London.
This one-day workshop gives an overview of developments in Open Access,
Open Data and Open Science framed within the context of a disruptive
technology.
Who should attend?
Information and library professionals keen to understand the impact of Open
Access, Open Data and Open Science on their work, their institutions and
the current and future services they provide for their users. Researchers
with an interest in the changing nature of scientific scholarly
communication and its impact on research impact.
The concept of Open Access to research outputs, such as journal articles,
has been common currency for many years. More recent thinking has expanded
the concept of openness even further, to Open Science (OS), which aims to
transform science by making research more open, global, collaborative,
creative and closer to society. This shift is extremely important for the
development and exploitation of research, and hence for the professionals
who support it. Delegates will be encouraged to raise questions and debate
issues of immediate concern throughout the day.
UKeiG's trainer David Ball is a consultant specialising in scholarly
publishing and support for the integration and efficient functioning of the
increasingly diverse range of services in academic institutions.
Specialisms include e-books, research and data repositories, virtual
learning environments and the design and management of academic libraries.
