Raiders of the Lost Content – Carl Robinson, Principal Consultant, Ixxus
Reuse is ever the watch-word when it comes to maximizing the value of your content. But how can you reuse content when not only do you not know where to find it; you don’t know what it is you’re looking for, or whether it existed in the first place?  Trying to get to grips with content reuse can be a bit of a snake pit – but luckily intrepid adventurer Carl Robinson from Ixxus is here to lead the way. We explore how to raid lost content to uncover hidden treasure, whip your backlist into shape and avoid the temple of doom. Fedoras optional.

How far have we come? Is this a race? Who’s ahead? Will the journey ever end?

The Winning Move For Open Access

In the dynamic Open Access publishing environment, nothing stands still for long. The Gold Road model that allows researchers to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs) may have become the preferred route of many funders and institutions, but as OA continues to gather momentum, tracking and reporting compliance has proven quite a challenge. The push is on to not only drive out costs but also to move toward automation and scalability. Learn how integrated workflows that leverage standards and best practices can help to build an open, sustainable infrastructure. Through innovative approaches that create a seamless workflow, publishers, funders and institutions will make a market together.

PARTICIPANTS:
– Caroline Burley, Journals Operation Manager, Publishing Services & Production, Royal Society of Chemistry
– David Prosser, Executive Director, RLUK
– Brett Rubinstein, Head of Business Development and EMA Sales, IOP Publishing
– Amanda Ward, Head of Programme Management, Springer Nature

Authentication and the Holy Grail
Access to content – on any device, at any location – is a critical and growing need in today’s information age. Publishers recognize that users expect simple, reliable and rapid access to content, as well as the highest possible level of data privacy. Yet publishers also need to know who has authorized access to the content they provide to protect it from misuse. Finding the right balance for these frequently conflicting information demands is a smoldering problem across the industry.
The solution may lie not only in technology, but also through increased collaboration. Towards that end, the Universal Resource Access initiative is conducting pilot projects that target development of solutions to provide access and security. The panel will share insights on the challenges faced as well as hopes for finding the holy grail of “single sign-on” – i.e., reliable and unified authentication and access control for any authorized user across any device.

PARTICIPANTS:
– Andy Halliday, Identity Product Owner, Springer Nature
– Helen Malone, Director, Information Resources, GlaxoSmithKline
– Eefke Smit, Director of Standards and Technology, International Association of STM Publishers

WHEN: Thursday, 16 March, 11:30 – 12:30
