Conference

A one-day event exploring the increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs.

‘Maximising Value: Learning Resources and Library Services in Further Education’ – programme and booking details are below.

A joint UKSG/ALPSP One Day Conference: The pace of change in our sector has accelerated – and that change has also become more wide-reaching. We are moving beyond the “fall out” from the digital revolution – and its implications for user behaviours, customer expectations, product formats and business models – into a much bigger shift, where established roles and accepted models are being questioned. Boundaries are blurring, with funders and universities taking greater ownership of how research is communicated, and publishers and libraries exploring new areas in which they can provide services and support. Where does all of this change leave researchers – are they already realising new benefits, or are they suffering from having one foot in the old world and one in the new? What will happen next, and how should scholarly publishers and librarians prepare?

Join us for the 2023 UKSG Forum! The UKSG Forum is a dynamic exhibition and networking event designed to bring together the knowledge community. The UKSG Forum was conceived in response to requests from members. Returning by demand after a break it’s a major event in the scholarly communications calendar supporting UKSG’s mission “to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication”.
