As a result of both the external pressures and the known benefits, many forms of both internal and external research collaborations have begun to emerge in higher education. At the heart of this change, academic libraries, who have long been models for collaborative work, are increasingly participating in the research process by providing a widening range of research support services beyond traditional reference services. There is a growing body of literature examining these changing academic library roles, but this volume will concentrate on how the nature of collaborative work in libraries is helping to reshape institutional research practices on a national scale. </span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black;">The editor of this volume invites chapter proposals for case studies and theoretical essays on the nature of collaborative research practices in higher education with a particular focus on the changing nature of research support services in academic libraries.

The goal of library performance measurement and assessment is to understand how well a library is meeting stakeholder needs, with the aim of driving improvement. Key features of library performance measurement include a focus on the needs of stakeholders and communities, actively using qualitative and quantitative data to improve services and the user experience, and communicating the results and outcomes of assessment activities.</span></span></p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 16.1333px; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;"><span style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 14.6667px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Past conferences have provided a mix of invited speakers, contributed papers and workshops designed to stimulate discussion, provide ideas for measuring and improving library performance, and develop new concepts and techniques to advance the field.

Library performance measurement (or library assessment) is the endeavouring of determining and communicating how a library is performing, with the aim of driving improvement. There are three key features of library performance measurement: focus on stakeholders, the goal of improving services to meet stakeholder needs, and communication of the results and outcomes. Past conferences have provided a mix of invited speakers, contributed papers and workshops designed to stimulate discussion, provide ideas for measuring and improving library performance, and develop new concepts and techniques to advance the field.

Of course, this is not the only role that librarians play in the world of research, scholarship and publication. They are also major contributors, with library and information science being a large academic discipline, into which many sub-disciplines fall including that of library and information services management, and library practitioners have been contributing to the body of knowledge about librarianship and library management for many years. Librarians are surrounded by data about their practice, whether this be quantitative or statistical data or qualitative data from case studies, reflections or evaluations. This session will look at how practicing librarians, from all sectors, can use their day-to-day library practice and activity to inform their scholarship and how to turn what they do into a publication. From the professional press to peer reviewed publication, there are many outlets for library practitioners to publish. This presentation will unpick this 'library publishing' environment and will provide advice and tips for 'getting started' and also from a 'next steps' perspective for those who may already have experience in academic publishing.</p><p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/tell-us-what-youre-doing-using-library-data-in-scholarly-communications-tickets-138791845145">Booking</a></p><p><br /></p>Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16613290709041953134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8644244041707627512.post-52814222315868431862021-02-04T19:57:00.001+00:002021-02-04T19:57:26.393+00:00Call for Chapter Proposals: Responding to the changing needs of students (American Library Association)<p><b style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></b></p>

engaged with students during the sudden and large-scale shift to online
learning caused by the pandemic. Going forward, successful libraries will
transform their business models to respond to permanent expanded online
teaching, provide related professional development for library staff, shift
collections expenditures to increase online collections, and prioritize work
that supports students who are learning remotely. Increased embedded
librarianship, virtual research help, new policies for interlibrary loan and
special collections are only a few of the innovations the pandemic prompted in
libraries that will create lasting positive changes for students, especially as
student bodies become more diverse and nontraditional.</span></p>

learning opportunities and ways to encourage social integration into college

social issues, such as criminal justice reform, climate change, and racial
justice prompt discussions about the issues themselves and engage the students
with the library and its resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As

<p class="MsoNormal">This collection of essays and poems marks the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the
execution of Nigerian activist and writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and his eight
colleagues (the Ogoni 9). The 21 essays and 42 poems included are inspired
by his ideals and activism.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">In his essay, the first in this volume, Dr Owens Wiwa recounts how his older
brother awakened and nurtured his awareness of the tremendous damage being
wrought by Royal Dutch Shell to their homeland, in collaboration with the then
Nigerian military dictatorship. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Noo Saro-Wiwa shares her story of
growing up in England with strong links to family in Nigeria, and the trauma of
hearing of her father’s execution while at University.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Sister Majella McCarron (OLA), who donated the death row correspondence of Saro-Wiwa to <a href="https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/">Maynooth University</a> provides two
personal essays. The first is a reflection on the events that shaped her work
with Saro-Wiwa in Nigeria and her subsequent efforts to save the lives of the
Ogoni 9. The second recounts her work on the Shell to Sea and other campaigns
in Ireland.</span></p>
<p class="MsoCommentText"><span lang="EN-CA">The environmental

Guinea-Bissau revolutionary, and Ken Saro-Wiwa, focusing on the centrality of
culture in the search for freedom.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Dr Laurence Cox discusses what we can learn
from how the Ogoni, a small rural group, remote from the centres of power, were
able to effectively resist Shell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The final
essays, while inspired by Saro-Wiwa’s quest for equality and justice, reflect on
aspects of an increasingly diverse Irish society. Veronica Akinborewa, Dr Camilla
Fitzsimons and Philomena Obasi to explore relationships that exist amidst the
intersections of race, gender and institutional positions. The three have
designed and delivered workshops, with <a href="https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/adult-and-community-education">MU Department of Adult and CommunityEducation</a>, on culture, interculturalism and racism. One such workshop is the
topic of the essay on diversity training for library staff at MU by Helen
Fallon, Laura Connaughton and Edel Cosgrave.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Maynooth University’s commitment to
inclusion is also articulated in Dr Cliodhna Murphy’s essay on the University
of Sanctuary.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">The second section of the book contains
poems by both established and new poets, including contributions from schoolchildren
in their senior cycle, who have visited the University and viewed the
collection. The poems are preceded with a contextual essay by Irish poet and
creative writing teacher Jessica Traynor. While the workshops grew from human
rights violations in Nigeria, they sought to inspire people to write about
their own life experiences. The concluding essay is by David Rinehart from MU
Library, who <span style="background: white; color: #201f1e;">has worked with
migrant aid and solidarity organisations for many years. He</span> reflects on
the poems in the collections for both their intrinsic beauty and as a tool for
looking both inward and outward in order to better understand different ways of
being and the effect of our actions as a global community on the people we
share this planet with. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Writing to Sister Majella McCarron on 1
December 1993, Saro-Wiwa urged her</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA">Keep
putting your thoughts on paper. Who knows how we can use them in future. The
Ogoni story will have to be told.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I hope this rich and diverse collection of
essays and poems goes some way to fulfilling his wishes, and strengthens in us
- writers, poets and readers - the resolve to tell the stories of
marginalised<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and oppressed communities
everywhere. Our voices can help create a world where justice and equality are the
cornerstone of our societies<o:p></o:p></span></p>

diversity, equity, and inclusion in theological libraries and librarianship.
Such questions take different forms in different libraries and even in
different theological contexts, and we expect the forum to reflect some of
these differences as well as some common themes across the landscape of
theological librarianship. The </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">TL</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> forum will be an opportunity
to share your experiences with these questions at your institution in a brief
(750-1500 word) statement or reflection. </span></p>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">When I was asked to
write a book on research support skills for librarians I jumped at the chance.
A recent change in my personal circumstances meant that I was looking for a
project to get stuck into and it also seemed like a good way to consolidate the
work I’d been doing for the past few years. It’s fair to say that I was overly
ambitious with timescales and what I’d anticipated taking just short of a year
actually took closer to two. Below, I’ve brought together some of the lessons I
learnt over those two years in the type of post I wish I’d read before I agreed
to write the book. Please don’t let the title fool you - it’s written with
tongue firmly in cheek! It’s also important to note that these are my
experiences and they may not reflect the experiences of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">Writing a book will take
longer than you think</span></b><span lang="EN">. Deadlines can become
pretty meaningless when writing a book. I’ve written many different things
over the last few years and I usually stick pretty firmly to deadlines so
going this far over was a stressful experience. When writing a book and
deciding on timescales it’s important to build in extra time for when life
gets in the way. If you don’t end up using it you will submit your
manuscript early but it’s always good to give yourself a bit more
headspace.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">You will want to give
up. At least twice</span></b><span lang="EN">. Books are longer than almost
all forms of writing, especially when you’re producing the majority of the
content yourself. They take a lot of motivation to complete and there will
be many, many times when you feel like you can’t do it. The key is to set
small, achievable goals rather than tackling the whole thing at once. For
example, divide your chapters into short sections and set one of those as
your task for the week. Over time you'll find that you build up into a
manuscript without even realising it.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">It (probably) won’t be
part of your day job. </span></b><span lang="EN">Even if you’re writing
about what you do all day, your employer isn’t likely to consider it a
work project which means you will have to work on it in your own time. Of
course, this isn’t the same for everyone and some people will be granted
permission or some form of study leave but it’s a good idea to find out
how your workplace will react before you agree to deadlines. Writing about
work in your own time is especially draining (as anyone who has written an
LIS thesis will confirm) as it means no real break. Try to factor in
plenty of writing downtime and perhaps leave the project aside for a few
days here and there. This is especially important if you’ve had a bad day
at work. Taking breaks will help you to feel refreshed and will speed up
the writing process in the long run.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">You won’t become a
millionaire. </span></b><span lang="EN">Depending on your publication
agreement you may get a percentage of the sales but it’s unlikely to be
enough for you to quit your day job. It’s important to remember that you
don’t get into academic publishing for the money (as many researchers will
confirm for you!). Instead, think about your broader motivations: to
enhance your career, share your knowledge and gain new skills. These goals
will help you to focus when things get tough and you wonder why you ever
started this project in the first place!<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">You may experience a
backlash. </span></b><span lang="EN">This is especially true if you work
promoting open access (as I do). I thought long and hard about accepting
the offer to publish with a ‘traditional’ publisher before agreeing and
decided that I was prepared to accept some criticism in order to publish
formally and gain that experience. Whatever you write and however you
publish you will face criticism, some justified and some less so. You have
to develop a bit of a thick skin and learn not to take it too personally.
It’s best to offer a polite response or just disengage completely. Take
care of yourself both during and after the publication process and don’t
be afraid to ask for help if you need to.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">Once you have spent
months perfecting your manuscript you will submit it and have to start all
over again. </span></b><span lang="EN">OK, so not completely from scratch
but it might feel like it. Your editor has the job of turning your
ramblings into something people will actually want to read and they will
have lots of questions about what you meant in some sections and whether
you could rephrase others. It can sometimes be hard to take comments on
something that’s likely to be your final draft but remember that this is
the first draft for an editor and they only want to help. Editors are
truly the unsung heroes of the book writing process and they will add so
much to your work through constructive criticism. Treat it as a learning
process and you will be a better writer with a better book.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">Even if you are lucky
enough to be approached by a publisher you shouldn’t expect special
treatment. </span></b><span lang="EN">I had a long discussion with a
commissioning editor but I still had to submit a formal proposal like any
other author. To some this might feel like a pointless process but it was
an important step for me to really think about and formalise my ideas into
something suitable for a book. If you’re thinking of writing something I
would suggest looking at examples of proposal forms online and answering
the questions based on your idea. It’s a great learning process and you
never know where it might lead...<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">You will have to leave
out a lot of what you wanted to say.</span></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN"> </span></i><span lang="EN">Even though it seems like
you’ll struggle to fill 70,000 words you'll be surprised at how fast it
goes and how much you’ll have to cut. I certainly had to make some hard
choices about what I wanted to include and what needed to go. This process
really forced me to think about what the audience would need to know
rather than just everything I wanted to tell them. I can always save the
rest for volume two!<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">People will actually
produce public reviews of your work.</span></b><span lang="EN"> And other
people will actually read them. Of course, people can comment about all
types of writing online but there’s something about a formal review that
gives me nightmares! At the time of writing I haven’t yet read one but I’m
sure it will happen soon. I’m sure they will be balanced when they do
appear and I need to get better at accepting criticism so when it does
happen it will be good for me. Top tip for novice writers: writing book
reviews is actually a good way to get started in publishing your own work
and you usually get to keep the book (you don’t have to review mine, I
promise!).<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">You will never be 100%
happy with your manuscript </span></b><span lang="EN">no matter how long you
spend on it and how far past your deadline you go. At some point you will
have to follow the wise words of Disney and just let it go. This is true
of all types of publication but a book takes up so much of your life that
it can be difficult to know what to do once it’s gone. My advice is to
treat yourself<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- after all what
better excuse have you got for a celebration?!<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN">So, that’s the bad
news but I wanted to end on a positive note. Having gone through everything
outlined above and had more than my share of wobbles I can honestly say that
holding the finished book was a great moment which gave me an enormous sense of
achievement. It helped to make everything worthwhile and if you’re thinking
about writing something I would highly recommend going for it. You never know -
it might be the next bestseller!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I was delighted to present "Writing for Academic Publication" on the 10th of June with my colleague <a href="mailto:laura.connaughton@mu.ie">Laura Connaughton</a>. I presented the morning session which covered writing for journals and other outlets, while Laura presented the afternoon session on poster presentations. We normally have this workshop in <a href="https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/library">Maynooth University Library,</a> so moving to Zoom was a change for us. It worked very well and it was great to have librarians from Indonesia, the US, the UK and Italy alongside Irish attendees.<br />
Here is a link to the <a href="https://bit.ly/academicpubHF">PowerPoint Presentation</a> from the morning session on writing for journals and other outlets.<br />
