2022 Research Application in Information and Library Studies (RAILS) Conference

RAILS is Australasia’s premier research conference for information and library studies and related disciplines. This annual conference brings together educators, researchers and practitioners within the information professions to encourage a culture of informed and innovative research practice. Sadly, a face to face RAILS has been delayed for two years now, so academics in Charles Sturt University’s School of Information and Communication Studies have planned a smaller, online version of the conference for 2022.

“Off the RAILS: Changing Research for Changing Times” is a FREE online conference bringing together selected invited speakers over two half days on the 29th and 30th of November 2022 (AEDT). Speakers and programme information can be found here. You will need to register your intention to attend the conference to get the Zoom link. Please register for the conference using this page on Eventbrite. There will also be a Doctoral Showcase which will include a series of short presentations from research students. If you are a doctoral student studying at a university in Australasia, with a research project related to the GLAM sector, and would like to present your research to date as part of the Doctoral Showcase, please contact Prof Philip Hider at phider@csu.edu.au by Friday 11 November, and also register online.

ALIA HLA Lunchtime Seminar: Digital tools - Supporting systematic reviews and evidence synthesis. Where are we now and what might the future look like?   

There has been an explosion in discovery and digital tools in recent years. Some of it can be attributed to the rising availability of free open scholarly metadata (particularly citations) and to a lesser extent availability of open full text due to the rise of Open Access. Though use of these newer tools (2020 and after) are not often used for evidence synthesis, Aaron will show results of a quick and dirty analysis on how many of these new tools are already mentioned as being in use in reviews and even more rigorous systematic reviews. 

In this talk Aaron will try to provide an overview of:

•             The general types of discovery tools that are out there e.g. Science mapping tools, citation based literature mapping tools, semantic citation tools, research graphs etc (see https://twitter.com/aarontay/status/1532312835534991360) 
•             Things to look out for when considering use of them e.g. limitations in coverage, transparency/reproducibility of methodology, business model
•             What we might expect in the future.

Aaron Tay has been an academic librarian for over 10 years. A generalist who has worked in different areas of academic librarianship from  library analytics, bibliometrics support and library discovery as well as liaison work in finance areas. He is currently Data Lead at Singapore Management University Libraries. Some honours he has received in the past includes "Professional Service Award" (Library Association of Singapore), CONSAL Outstanding Librarian - Silver/Merit (Congress of South East Asian Librarian), Library Journal -Mover & Shaker 2011. His main interests revolve around library discovery and delivery and bibliometrics and his blog Musings About Librarianship (https://musingsaboutlibrarianship.blogspot.com/?m=1) has been tracking trends around emerging tools in these areas since 2009. From the earliest days of "Web Scale Discovery"/Discovery layers in the 2010s to the emergence of what he dubs "Citation based literature mapping services" due to the availability of open scholarly metadata in the 2020s (https://musingsaboutlibrarianship.blogspot.com/p/list-of-innovative-literature-mapping.html?m=1) and the possible impact of the availability of open full text on digital tools, he enjoys tracking , studying and writing on these issues. In recent years, he has become interested in the area of evidence synthesis. He is also avid on twitter - @aarontay.

A2i Awards

Nominations for the annual Aspire to Inspire (A2i Awards) employee recognition awards open on the 4^th July for a three-week period.  Our A2i Event will be occurring in early November.

All staff are invited to nominate individuals and teams for their extraordinary commitment and demonstration of behaviours which exemplify Eastern Health’s key values and organisational priorities. Leaders and Managers are encouraged to nominate staff in their own teams if they see an opportunity for a nomination.

The key elements of the 2022 A2i Awards include:

·        Team members can nominate any other team member across Eastern Health regardless of role, site or program

·        An online nomination form (using RedCap) will require those who are nominated and their managers to take action to complete the nomination process

·        The first stage of Awards will be the Program / Directorate ‘Values and Achievement Awards’.

·        In the first stage, Program Leaders and Directorate Leaders will receive the list of nominees from their area and judge these to select the winners for their area. These Program/Directorate winners will receive a ‘Values and Achievement Award’.

·        Line Managers will be informed of this Program or Directorate level outcome and be asked to recognise and celebrate their team member locally for this achievement with a Certificate and Voucher supplied by the Organisational Development team.

·        All winners at this Program and Directorate level will be shortlisted into the Executive Judging process to be considered for an Eastern Health A2i Award

·        This year we are aiming to return to an in-person Awards Ceremony and also to include the successful Live Stream option for those who cannot attend in-person.

Further information regarding the A2i Awards nomination process can be found on the A2i Intranet page.

Notes from the meeting held on 19/5/22.

Proposal from ProSentient for an alternative to LADD

Below is the text of an email from Edmund Balnaves to members of the GratisNet Committee outlining a possible alternative to LADD. Cheryl Hamill is intending to set up a meeting between ProSentient and hospital library managers to discuss this proposal.

From: Edmund Balnaves [mailto:EBalnaves@prosentient.com.au]  
Sent: Friday, 13 May 2022 3:43 PM 
To: Jane.Simon@health.qld.gov.au; gill.thomson@nt.gov.au; frances.guinness@health.nsw.gov.au; 
veronica.barlow@health.nsw.gov.au; sandra.henry@sa.gov.au; nigel.granger@ths.tas.gov.au; Stott,

Subject: Changes to LADD and a possible alternative solution offering

CAUTION: This email is from outside of Eastern Health. Only open attachments and click on links that 
you are expecting.
Dear colleagues

In the light of news from NLA about future directions in pricing of LADD services and copy 
cataloging I'd like to share some ideas about a possible alternative that Prosentient Systems could 
offer.

We have been developing our own Artificial Intelligence enhanced Discovery Service over the 
last year that indexes across all our Koha and DSpace collections (code name HOARDS - Hybrid 
Open Access and Resource Delivery System), as well as PubMed and other services.  We are 
also integrating into it a pay-per-use function to allow the client to select articles (e.g. from 
PubMed) and create a purchase/ILL request that goes to the participating library.

The idea of this service is to give build a discovery system that can integrate with document 
delivery and PAYG payment for items through PubMed and other services. The client would 
raise a request which is vetted by the library to go to either document delivery or fulfilled by a 
PAYG if available.  We will give a monthly invoice for PAYG fulfillments.

Libraries will be able to upload their holdings to the discovery platform via MARC upload or 
standard harvesting (OAI/PMH).

I believe we could offer this service at an annual fee of $600 per library (for collection sizes < 
50,000) with a minimum viable operational base of 200 libraries.

The sort of flow we have in mind is:

(1)    A client-facing (“trove style”) discovery search for the article/item.  Clients must be 
registered (or self-register) to a library.  Libraries must join and pay an annual service 
fee as well as any transactional fees for items ordered through the system.  Libraries will 
be able to join through a simple online subscription form.  Clients will be able to self-
register with an approval email to the library they belong to.  Email domain based auto-
confirmation of client registrations from know domains will be possible.

(2)    If the item is in a known library then offer a loan or an interlibrary loan request form to 
be sent to the library the client belongs to. The library will use our document delivery 
system to fulfill the item.  This integrates with GratisNet, Glass, QShare, LILLI, ALIES 
and TranzInfo.

(3)    If the item a PAYG option is available, create a purchase library request form to go to 
document delivery for the client’s library.  The library will use our document delivery 
system to review and either PAY/supply the item, reject or process by inter-library loan 
or other means.

(4)    The purchase request process would be:
                - the library gets the request
                - the library either finds and fulfills the item by ILL (GratisNet!!!!!!)
                - if not available via ILL then 
                                - if available by pay-per-use library approves the purchase and client is 
emailed the item
                                - the library gets billed monthly on approved purchases.

What is ready now?

- The HOARDS Discovery system – already indexing hundreds of libraries with PubMed and 
other integrations
- The Document Fulfillment/Delivery system, integration in progress - adapted from our 
InterDocs system.

We are also looking at integrating a broad z39.50 server framework in this to allow the copy 
cataloguing.   That still needs someone to do the cataloguing in the first place but we can at least 
fetch from known collections.

I believe we could have the core of this service operational by November.

The WordPress plugin-based front end allows us also to provide a solution that can be deployed 
on library-owned servers using a WordPress front-end.  This will be more like $10,000/annum 
with custom discovery profiling and specialised discovery integration.

If the Gratisnet community is interested I'd be happy to have a meeting with you to sound out the 
proposal.   

Regards

Edmund Balnaves

"It appears WA Health security policies prohibit sharing videos from Teams.  I downloaded the video and uploaded it to Microsoft Stream – hoping that may make it accessible – I think you will still be required to login to a Microsoft account in order to view it.  Best I can do – if it doesn’t allow you to view it from Stream there’s nothing more I can do.   Lesson for the future – use another platform!"

Registration: https://www.alia.org.au/EventDetail?EventKey=HLA0011A

Limited to 30 participants

Data about clinical trials are essential to answering many systematic review, health technology assessment, comparative effectiveness research, clinical and other research questions.  Clinical trials registers such as ClinicalTrials.gov and portals such as the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) provide information on both ongoing and completed trials.  Many registers include trial results for completed research, often before they are available through traditional, published sources and in many cases, they provide results for studies which are never published.  Trials registers are in constant development and can be challenging to search and use.  Data on trials are also increasingly available from clinical study reports produced by the pharmaceutical industry in support of drug marketing applications and regulatory agency sources such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  These sources can also be challenging to search and document. 

This online course explores key sources of trial information and approaches to searching those sources and managing and recording the process. The sessions include presentations, demonstrations and opportunities for questions and discussion.

The training will be in two sessions of 2.5 hours each, on 9, 16 June 2022 3pm-5.30pm
