Open and Engaged Conference 2022 - Climate research in GLAM, digital infrastructure and skills to open collections

Open and Engaged Conference 2022 - Climate research in GLAM, digital infrastructure and skills to open collections

In line with this year’s #OAWeek theme: Open for Climate Justice; Open and Engaged will address intersections between cultural heritage and climate research through the use of collections, digital infrastructures and skills.

A range of speakers from cultural heritage and higher education institutions will answer these questions to shed light on the theme:

  • What is the role of library collections and historical datasets to understand the impact of climate change?

  • How to use digital infrastructure for more equitable knowledge sharing?

  • What roles and skills are needed to make research from heritage organisations openly available?

    “Forever or 5 years”: Sustainability planning for Digital Research Infrastructure for Arts and Humanities
    (2022-10)
    Sichani, Anna Maria
    This short presentation will focus on the requirements for sustainability planning for Digital Research Infrastructure for Arts and Humanities, and more specifically for the federated repositories & data services’ ecosystem as part of the AHRC programme “Infrastructure for Digital Innovation and Curation in Arts and Humanities” (iDAH). From technical choices, systems’ architecture and security, to governance structures, impact and community engagement mechanisms, I will discuss a set of considerations on how to enhance our digital infrastructure towards a sustainable and open future.

    Valuing the breadth and depth of skills in the research library
    (2022-10)
    Knowles, Claire
    Libraries are centres of technical and specialist expertise, the skills their staff can contribute to the wider organisation and as partners in research have been overlooked. This talk follows on from the RLUK-AHRC event The Technician Commitment and the role of research and academic libraries as centres of technical and specialist expertise, held on 27 April 2022, to continue the rallying cry for librarians to be recognised for their skills both by their institutions, sectors, funders, partners, and themselves.

    Shared Research Repository Service and competency framework for cultural heritage professionals
    (2022-10)
    Basford, Jenny
    ;
    Holt, Ilkay
    This presentation covers an overview of the British Library’s Shared Research Repository Service to make GLAM research discoverable and a proposed training programme for GLAM professionals to manage repository services as a result of a recent scoping report conducted by the British Library. British Library’s Shared Research Repository Service features content from partner cultural heritage organisations and increases the visibility of heritage research outputs. Each partner can have their own institutional identity, manage their content but their content can also be discovered via the shared search layer of the service. As part of an AHRC funded repository infrastructure project, we undertook a study to support Shared Research Repository partners and other GLAM organisations. In this study, we looked at the roles and people involved in the research workflow in GLAMs and their skills’ needs in sharing heritage research openly through digital repositories, developed a competency framework and proposed a training program for cultural heritage professionals.
