SUMMARY:CARL Inclusive Collections Webinar Series – From Shelves to Streams: How Format Shifts Impact Diversity in Academic Film Collections
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, May 2\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nThe Canadian Association of Research Libraries’ Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion Working Group (CARL EDIWG) is pleased to announce the third in a series of planned webinars on inclusive collections. \nCanadian research libraries are actively engaged in the ongoing process of decolonizing their collections\, cultivating inclusive libraries\, and adopting equitable and inclusive practices that aim to amplify and leverage the voices of marginalized and underrepresented communities in Canada. Through the Inclusive Collections webinar series\, the CARL EDIWG aims to facilitate conversations\, provide practical insights\, and foster the exchange of policies and strategies that promote diverse collections. \nIn this 60-minute session\, join librarians Trevor Deck and James Mason as they share conclusions from their research comparing the diversity of streaming media collections as compared to the physical counterparts held in academic libraries. They ask\, first\, whether the shift away from collecting physical media may also be a shift away from including diverse perspectives in film collections; and second\, if we have the data to draw a measurable and demonstrable conclusion. Exploring the potentials and limitations of utilizing large data sources including catalogue metadata and online open sources of data such as Wikidata\, they attempt  to understand the diversity represented in the collections and to better inform collection practices. \nThere will be time for questions and discussion at the end. This will be a collaborative future-forward conversation\, so please bring your own questions and/or proposed solutions. \nIn addition to being subject to the CARL Code of Conduct\, CARL asks all participants\, panelists and organizers to be respectful of what is being shared and in how they ask questions. \nIn the interest of accessibility\, simultaneous translation and captions will be available throughout the session.

SUMMARY:CARL Webinar: Beyond Marrakesh: Fair Dealing and Creating Accessible Copies of Works for Disabled Persons
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 26\, 2025\nTime: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST (11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST) \nRegistration required \nPresenter: Rowan Meredith\nDoctor of Juridical Science (SJD) Student\, University of Toronto \nThe Marrakesh Treaty\, which entered into force in 2016\, was designed to create exceptions to copyright infringement for the creation of accessible copies of works for use by disabled persons. Libraries regularly rely on the Marrakesh Treaty\, and on Section 32 of the Copyright Act which implements the Treaty in Canada\, to produce accessible copies of works. However\, the disability exceptions to copyright law have limitations – for example\, they prohibit copying cinematographic works and works that are commercially available in an accessible format. These limitations often encourage libraries and other beneficiaries of the Section 32 provisions to be risk-averse in their copying activities. \nThis presentation will look at whether and to what extent the creation of accessible copies of works can be understood as falling under a broader exception to copyright law – fair dealing. The presentation will explore the fair dealing jurisprudence in Canada\, recognizing that user rights in Canada are meant to be given a broad and liberal interpretation\, and will apply it to the creation of accessible copies of works for use by disabled persons. In doing so\, the presentation will suggest an alternate basis in copyright law for libraries to create accessible copies of works where the Section 32 disability exceptions are insufficient for a given purpose.

SUMMARY:CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team Community Call – Publishing Standards
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 26\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 – 1:30pm ET \nRegistration \nThe CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team welcomes you to join our next community call about publishing standards.  \nIn 2022\, several publishing organizations (DOAJ\, COPE\, OASPA\, and WAME) jointly published updated Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. These principles are just one set of publishing standards that we encounter when supporting journals\, and it can be challenging to help journals adjust their practices and policies to meet external benchmarks. \nIn this practice-based meeting we invite you to share questions\, ideas\, obstacles and perspectives about the different publishing standards that you’ve encountered. If you have problems\, solutions\, a cry for help\, or would just like to commiserate with your colleagues\, please add your name to our speaker list by February 12 with a brief description of the topic you’ll be speaking about. Some ideas might include: How is everyone handling DOAJ applications? What do you think about the new DIAMAS Best Practices Checklist? How are we approaching editorial teams when their policies need improvement?  \nFacilitation for this session will be in French\, but speakers are welcome to participate in either English or French\, and discussion will take place in both languages.  \nThis call will not be recorded\, but we will capture notes in a shared document that will be distributed after the call. \nAbout the CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team \nThe CARL Library Publishing Community Engagement Team seeks to support Canadian library publishing practitioners in their functional roles and to grow Canadian expertise and capacity in this area. Members include: \n\nSonya Betz (University of Alberta) – co-chair\nMark Swartz (Queen’s University) – co-chair\nSamantha MacFarlane (University of Victoria)\nÉdith Robert (UQAM)\nRichard Hayman (Mount Royal University)\nJordan Pederson (Guelph University)\nJeanette Hatherill (Coalition Publica)\nMike Nason (University of New Brunswick)\nTomasz Mrozewski (York University)\nBrianne Selman (University of Winnipeg)\nEmily Carlisle (Western University)\nMathieu Pigeon (Université de Montréal)

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice February Call: A Dataset and Bibliometric Approach to Estimating Annual Article Processing Charges for Six Scholarly Publishers
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, February 4\, 2025\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET \nRegistration \nJoin the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice for a presentation and discussion on A Dataset and Bibliometric Approach to Estimating Annual Article Processing Charges for Six Scholarly Publishers. \nThe author-pays model\, in which publishers charge authors an article processing charge (APC) to publish their article open access\, is now a well-established and popular revenue source for publishers. Given the prevalence of APCs and emerging models like read-and-publish agreements\, reliable data is crucial for informed decision-making by funders\, libraries\, consortia\, and institutions. However\, estimating these fees is challenging due to the decentralized nature of scholarly publishing and limited transparency around these fees. This presentation by Leigh-Ann Butler and Eric Schares introduces an open dataset of APCs from six scholarly publishers over five years (2019-2023) and outlines the methodology and findings of a study estimating APC expenditures using this dataset. \nLeigh-Ann Butler is the Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Ottawa\, where she supports the library’s open publishing services\, the institutional repository\, and OA investments. She is a Research Associate at the ScholCommLab\, and board member of the Library Publishing Coalition. Prior to uOttawa\, she worked as a policy analyst on open science at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). Her research focuses on scholarly communication\, open scholarship\, bibliometrics\, and science policy. \nEric Schares is the Engineering & Collection Analysis Librarian at Iowa State University in the US\, and a Research Associate with the ScholCommLab at the University of Ottawa\, Canada. He works to analyze publishing trends to support the open access transition in scholarly publishing. His research focuses on bibliometrics\, scholarly communication\, and open science. \nThis session will be recorded.

SUMMARY:‘There is No (A)I in Team’: Creating and Sharing Teaching & Learning Resources for AI Skills Development
DESCRIPTION:Date: December 10\, 2024\nTime: 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET \nRegistration  \nSince the advent of ChatGPT two years ago\, library teaching and learning staff have stepped up to support the academic community to navigate an ever-growing range of GenAI tools safely and efficiently. Earlier this year\, librarians at Concordia University and McGill University teamed up to produce a series of foundational micromodules on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) specifically designed for faculty – GenAI Quickstart: Foundations for Faculty. These unbranded modules are available under an open CC BY licence\, allowing other institutions to integrate them into their own websites and/or learning management systems. \nThis CARL webinar will feature collaborators Dianne Cmor and Megan Fitzgibbons (Concordia Library)\, and Katherine Hanz and Sandy Hervieux (McGill Libraries)\, in conversation with Janice Kung (University of Alberta Library and CARL VPO for AI and Library Services). The panelists will introduce this new resource and discuss how the project came to be and its potential impact. The panelists will also explore how the modules can be adapted locally as well as the potential development of similar\, shared resources by teaching and learning staff\, relating to AI and beyond. \nEveryone is welcome to attend; the session will be of particular interest to teaching and learning staff. \n→ View the webinar recording on YouTube \n→ Access the GenAI Quickstart: Foundations for Faculty Modules

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice December Call – Lightning Talks\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, December 5\, 2024\nTime: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators to join this month’s call of the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice.  \nThis month we are being joined by several of our colleagues for a series of lightning talks! This quick paced event will be a chance to hear from and chat with your colleagues about a broad range of topics related to Bibliometrics and Research Impact.  \nDebbie Chaves – How Can Smaller Universities Report Meaningful Research Metrics? \nBiography: Debbie Chaves is currently the Head of Copyright & Course Resources at Wilfrid Laurier University Library where she previously was the Science Librarian for 17 years. Her BSc was in Medical Physics\, a MSc and PhD in Biophysics and an MLIS from Western University. \nAbstract: Research metrics can measure a variety of results but is heavily dependent on the data contained within specific databases. Smaller research universities must report institutional metrics but may lack the necessary database subscriptions or the manpower to find and visualize appropriate data. To provide specific research metrics to the Office of Research\, the Library was tasked with examining institutional metrics from three different databases\, lens.org\, Web of Science and Open Alex to assess if the dashboard in lens.org would be a sufficient reporting tool. This presentation will step through the results of searching each database for the institution and limited to the 2023-2024 fiscal year. \nMarisa Ruccolo – Introducing the Research Horizon Navigator in InCites B&A \nBiography: Marisa holds an MLIS from McGill University as a second career and is the Customer Success Director for the Americas. She was hired by Clarivate to support Canada in both official languages. She is in the company’s Research & Analytics vertical. \nAbstract: Research Horizon Navigator is a new AI-native module within InCites Benchmarking & Analytics designed to empower academics\, funding agencies\, government research organizations and research strategists to discover new topics emerging from published literature that point to where future breakthroughs are likely to occur. Join the session to learn how you can use Horizon Navigator to: Identify emergent areas of research\, Innovate in areas with velocity\, and Invest in new interdisciplinary fields. \nRoger Reka & Miyang Roh – Demo: The UWindsor Open Access Journal Finder    \nBiographies: Roger Reka (he/him) is a collections librarian at the University of Windsor Leddy Library. Miyang Roh (she/her)\, called Settia\, is originally from South Korea and has been living in Canada for the past three years. She completed her bachelor’s in politics and economics and master’s in Urban Planning. With her MLIS studies she is determined to have a career in academic librarianship. On a lighter note\, she loves cats and has two kitties of her own. \nAbstract: Navigating the open access (OA) publishing landscape can be complex for researchers. To simplify this process\, we developed a Power BI tool that streamlines the search for suitable OA journals. This tool allows researchers to discover both diamond OA journals and subscription-based journals with open access publishing rights licensed by our institution. The interactive dashboard presents data on publication costs\, licensing terms\, and journal-level metrics\, equipping users to make informed decisions about where to publish. \nThis session will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:CARL Canadian Repositories Community of Practice November Call - Going to the Source: Contributing to a Healthy Open Infrastructure via Free and Open Source Software Projects
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, November 26\, 2024\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:30pm ET \nRegistration \nYou’ve probably heard of open access by now\, but not everything that is openly available is also shared on open infrastructure. Using free and open source software platforms like DSpace\, Islandora\, and OJS is essential for sustainable and equitable scholarly communication infrastructure\, and is a recurring theme in advocacy and policy (See COAR\, Council of the European Union\, UNESCO). \nBut who builds these platforms? And how can we ensure support for this work? One way to sustain these systems is by getting more involved: contributing code\, for sure\, but also through translation\, documentation\, UX testing\, and providing feedback. Of course\, there are challenges here too – local resources are spread thin\, and often we don’t even have admin access to our own computers!  \nThis event will feature presentations from folks who have contributed in varying ways to projects and platforms we all use regularly\, including: \n\nPierre Lasou (Université Laval) – DSpace (translation and documentation)\nErica M. Johns (Cornell) and Colin B. Lukens (Harvard) – UX Testing in DCAT (DSpace)\nMark Jordan (SFU) – PKP\, Islandora\nKimberly Chapman (University of Arizona) – DCAT Chair (DSpace)\n\nWe’ll then have time for questions and discussion. Hopefully those of you who are curious about contributing will feel empowered to do so\, and everyone will leave with greater awareness of the importance of open infrastructure and the ability to advocate for choices that are in line with our goals and values!  \nQuestions? Comments? Please add them to this document for discussion during the event. \nThis event will be recorded.

SUMMARY:CARL Inclusive Collections Webinar Series: Diversity Statements in Collection Policies
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 24\, 2024\nTime: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET \nRegistration  \nThe Canadian Association of Research Libraries’ Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion Working Group (CARL EDIWG) is pleased to announce the second in a series of planned webinars on inclusive collections. \nCanadian research libraries are actively engaged in the ongoing process of decolonizing their collections\, cultivating inclusive libraries\, and adopting equitable and inclusive practices that aim to amplify and leverage the voices of marginalized and underrepresented communities in Canada. Through the Inclusive Collections webinar series\, the CARL EDIWG aims to facilitate conversations\, provide practical insights\, and foster the exchange of policies and strategies that promote diverse collections. \nIn this 60-minute bilingual session\, join librarians Catherine Lachaîne\, Marta Samokishyn\, and Ryan Rivando as they share the findings of their research study on how the equity\, diversity\, inclusion and indigenization (EDII) principles are represented in the collection development policies of Canadian academic libraries. \nTheir research stems from the pressing need to understand how Canadian University libraries can partake in the process of reconciliation and decolonization of their collections. The project offers unique insight into how\, if so\, Canadian academic libraries adapt to the EDII-specific needs in the University and research communities while amplifying diverse voices through their collections. \nThere will be time for questions and discussion at the end. This will be a collaborative future-forward conversation\, so please bring your own questions and/or proposed solutions. \nIn addition to being subject to the CARL Code of Conduct\, CARL asks all participants\, panelists and organizers to be respectful of what is being shared and in how they ask questions. \nIn the interest of accessibility\, simultaneous translation and captions will be available throughout the session.

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice October Call – Enhancing Citation Integrity through Bibliometrics
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, October 23\, 2024\nTime: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators to join this month’s call of the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice for a session on Enhancing Citation Integrity through Bibliometrics. \nIn the ever-changing world of scholarly publishing\, the increase in questionable journals poses significant risks to the credibility of academic work. This session\, led by Dr. Barbara S. Lancho Barrantes\, will explore the important role of bibliometrics in safeguarding research integrity. By analyzing citation patterns and publication practices\, researchers can effectively identify and address citation risks. Furthermore\, the emergence of various types of questionable citations\, such as citation cartels\, misleading citations\, over-citations\, phantom citations etc.\, complicates the landscape even more. This session will offer practical strategies for using bibliometrics to reduce these risks. Participants will learn to assess source quality critically\, recognise problematic citation patterns\, and use bibliometric tools to enhance their professional practice. \nBarbara S. Lancho Barrantes is a Scientometrician with a PhD in Bibliometrics from the University of Extremadura\, Spain. She currently serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Computing and Mathematics subject area at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom. Her primary research focus is on citation analysis\, but she has also published on factors influencing research productivity across countries\, bibliometric mappings of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, and issues related to questionable publishing practices. \nIn addition to her research\, Barbara is also a dissertation supervisor at the Information School at the University of Sheffield and chairs the LIS Bibliometrics Committee\, which organizes the annual international LIS Bibliometrics conference. Her work continues to advance the field of bibliometrics and promote responsible research practices. \nThis session will be recorded.
