Research libraries supporting Open Science across Europe

Presenter: Valentino Cavalli (LIBER

slides (pdf)

LIBER is Europe’s largest association of research libraries. The organisation was established in 1971 to support the interests of its wide community, which counts more than 400 national, university and special libraries across Europe.

 

Research libraries play an important role in the European Open Science Cloud and LIBER is supporting them via its 2018-2022 strategy, which sets out a vision for 2022 in which: open access is the predominant form of publishing; research data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR); digital skills underpin a more open and transparent research life cycle; research infrastructure is participatory, tailored and scaled to the needs of the diverse disciplines; the cultural heritage of tomorrow is built on today’s digital information.

 

This talk will focus on the role of LIBER and will address the audience on the implications of a few important developments, such as the proposed copyright reform recently approved by the European Parliament and “Plan S”, which promises to make open access a reality in Europe by 2020.

This presentation will provide a general overview of the importance of digitisation of cultural heritage and demonstrate why it should be one of the key activities for content-holding institutions. Best practices and details will be provided on how digitsation can be organised in terms of acquisition, preservation, and on-line accessibility of digitial assets. The presentation will also be based on experiences from multiple deployments of digital libraries / musems / repositories / archives conducted in the last two decades in Poland, as well as on international cooperation in European and worldwide initiatives such as IMPACT Center of Competence in Digitisation, Open Preservation Foundation, DARIAH / CLARIN ERIC and Europeana.
