University of Utrecht Announces Bold New Open Science Incentives
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

University of Utrecht Announces Bold New Open Science Incentives A leading Dutch research university announced that it is formally abandoning the impact factor in all of its hiring and promotion decisions by early 2022. Rather than continuing to rely on this controversial and flawed metric, every department at Utrecht University in the Netherlands will judge its scholars by other standards, including their commitment to teamwork and efforts to promote Open Science. The University’s bold new “Recognition and Rewards Scheme” is part of the University’s larger Open Science Programme, which aims to make research more transparent and cooperative. Open Science fellows embedded in each department will assess progress towards elements including open access publishing, public engagement and research data sharing. The TRIPLE model consists of six components: team spirit; research; impact; professional performance; leadership; and education. They describe the three domains where we generate output (research, professional performance and education), the impact they have on science and society, and leadership in academia that actively nurtures an environment in which they can flourish. TRIPPLE model (link: https://www.uu.nl/sites/default/files/UU-Recognition-and-Rewards-Vision.pdf) Full details of the Utrecht Open Science Initiative and new assessment guidelines can also be found (link: https://www.uu.nl/en/research/open-science) Happy exploring. ------ Dr. J.

9 unique library jobs that have nothing to do with books
by Mohan Hr 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

9 unique library jobs that have nothing to do with books When you walk into your local public library, you expect to receive help from a reference librarian, a circulation desk librarian, or perhaps a children’s librarian, depending on your needs. However, many libraries are starting to employ people in new, non-librarian roles to better meet the changing needs of the communities they serve. The below nine cutting-edge jobs within libraries showcase the evolving role of this uniquely flexible public institution, an institution whose value as social infrastructure only seems to grow as crisis after crisis rocks society. https://www.shareable.net/9-unique-library-jobs-that-have-nothing-to-do-wit… Nice story Changing role of libraries in the context of building communities.

As the library sleeps
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

https://blogs.loc.gov/preservation/2021/08/as-the-library-sleeps/ How did closure of the Library of Congress in March 2020 (absence of visitors & staff) affect the library? Interesting to read how the dedicated PERT staff attending to this unexpected condition handled the situation. 'they walked miles along the shelves..' 'pinhole leak in copper sprinkler pipe', 'books left on the floor' -- as a librarian we can understand the enormity of the task.
