‘Pride and
Prejudice: the Challenges with Open Access and Open Source’
The 2014 LIR
Annual Seminar will take place on Friday, March 21st, in the Trinity College
School of
Nursing and Midwifery, D'Olier Street Dublin
The Seminar will analyse the current issues
surrounding open access, open source products and their use in Irish Libraries.
It will also showcase developments and experiments in the area. A number of
highly regarded keynote speakers have been confirmed for the day, including
Niamh Brennan from Trinity College Library, and Scott Wilson from OSS Watch.
This is an excellent opportunity to showcase
innovative and interesting developments in your organisation.
We would like to invite proposals for snapshots and lightning talks to give attendees a chance to see how your organisation is embracing open access and integrating open source products in your Library.
Snapshots presentations will be 15 minutes and lightning talks will be 5 minutes in length.

Examples of welcome topics include:
o Resource discovery or library management
systems - have you implemented an open source product?
o Institutional Repositories – have you adapted an open source product and how have you deployed it?
o Who has an impact in the evaluation process – the library, academics, or your research office?
o Have you implemented a proprietary product that is open access?
o Have recent open access (OA) funder mandates impacted on the volume of uploads to your IR? Have your workflows changed to accommodate this?
o The impact of open source products on distance learning and the physical library
o Leveraging open access to market your library
o MOOCs, libraries and open access resources
o Impact of OA on archival material and Special Collections

We are particularly interested in hearing
about your experience of implementing these products, any challenges you faced
and how you went about overcoming them. Would you approach it differently next
time? The themes are broad, and should not be limited to topics not mentioned
above.
Expressions of interest, and proposals for
snapshot presentations should be forwarded to LIR-CTTE@listserv.heanet.ie by
Friday, February 21st 2014.
