UKSG engages a broad cross-section of professionals concerned with the publication, distribution and use of scholarly and professional information throughout the world.
“UKSG breaks down inter-professional barriers. As a member, we’ve had the opportunity to meet and work more closely with representatives of other areas of the serials chain. This supports our ability to offer good service to our customers, and puts us in a position both to contribute to, and to benefit from, the improvements that UKSG helps to instigate in the process of scholarly communication.”

Valuing members and community
UKSG aims to put members at the centre of its activities and respond to their needs and challenges. It seeks the views of members in Training Needs Surveys and occasional Membership Surveys. The findings of the most recent Membership Survey include:
- members agree there is a clear need for an organisation with UKSG’s mission
- UKSG’s cross-community role is valued and it successfully connects different member types
- UKSG is seen as professional, well-organised and friendly
- members would like UKSG to continue to focus on the practical implementations of strategic change and to think more broadly about the audiences it tries to support in this respect
The scholarly publishing community is evolving as are members’ interests and needs. There are new opportunities for UKSG to provide practical support in areas such as understanding and facilitating the wider lifecycle of research or managing and implementing Open Access effectively. UKSG is committed to supporting practical examples of innovation, best practice and standards in the community.
