Good to see ⁦UKSG⁩ really taking the idea of “haste ye back” to heart and will be back in Glasgow next year 8-10 April, and no Saturday #UKSG2023 #UKSG2024

We were talking at #UKSG2024 breakfast this week about D&D alignment, and about how I categorise myself irl as Chaotic Neutral. This chart (from bookstr) made me laugh 😂

Next year, #UKSG2024 will be back@in Glasgow #UKSG2023

I am not very good at promoting my work, but I am presenting at #UKSG2024 - fulfilling the dream of every Liberal Arts (& Sciences) grad and putting my actual degree to good use!

I will be discussing various forms of AI and applications in library collections.

One of the most useful sessions on AI I've heard so far from Siobhan Haimé #UKSG2024

⁦Ivan Oransky⁩ highlights the massive growth in retractions in recent years. It’s a well known issue, but still unsettling to see just how quickly the numbers have risen #UKSG2024

Bottom line issues for society publishing, according to Angela Cochran 🌻 #UKSG2024

It was a pleasure Charing this morning's #UKSG2024 Plenary session on #openaccess horizons. Such rich and insightful contributions from an outstanding panel: Michael Levine-Clark, John McDonald, Jason Price, Caren Milloy, Chris Banks (she/her), Katie Fraser and Dr Beth #BLM 🏳️‍🌈 🐺 🤩👏🏾

📣 Have you heard? By 2025, ASM’s 6 primary journals will shift to #openaccess under a Subscribe to Open model. If your institution is attending UKSG, stop by Booth 64 to discuss 2025 renewals with #S2O perks like publishing with no APCs. #UKSG2024 🔗asm.social/1MX

Choice of sloths or rhinos at the Emerald Publishing stall at #UKSG2024 ! You can adopt a real one too.

Tasha and Sian are heading home after a great three days at #UKSG2024 . Thank you for all the great conversations and all the interest in and support for COUNTER in the panel discussions Tasha was part of and on the show floor. See you next year!

Excuse the dodgy photo, but ScholCommTom / [email protected]’s slide on sustainable funding for OA books sums up a lot going on in OA publishing at the moment.

I like to see this as an opportunity - as ScholCommTom / [email protected] said “if we want a different outcome, we have to do things differently” #UKSG2024

I won the Merriman Award this year which means I got a scholarship to attend the UKSG conference and the NASIG conference in June. Here is me accepting my award and a very fetching T&F tote bag! #UKSG2024 #ilovelibraries

This is what I was saying yesterday: flip flopping on funder policies makes it exponentially harder for smaller publishers to settle on business models. #UKSG2024

What about the other people involved in research not recognised through publication? The hidden REF #UKSG2024

The OpenUP university press collaboration pilot offered via the Jisc OA community framework didn’t meet its full funding target but will produce 13 OA monographs says Clare Hooper #UKSG2024

If you're at #UKSG2024 this week, make sure to swing by stand 78 to see my COPIM ([email protected]) colleagues and talk about community-owned, non-corporate models for open access book publishing.

Also, the Gala Reception at #UKSG2024 meant we got past and current chairs of UKSG together (standing on order of their time as Chair - very neat!). From L-R Kate Price, Andrew Barker, Joanna Ball and our current Chair, Charlie Rapple
