KEYNOTE: Fantastic future? Predicting promise and peril

Martin Hamilton, Futurist & Innovation Adviser - UK

Martin Hamilton is resident futurist at Jisc, the organisation that provides digital solutions for UK education and research. His job is to keep an eye open for emerging trends and new technologies, and see what can be done to exploit and embrace them – or to mitigate against them. Martin will be taking an in-depth look at some of the major trends in digital technology - including AI, blockchain, data driven decision-making, and open research practice. How will they impact our customers, our organisations and the work we do? And what’s emerging from the research lab that will change how we work in the future?

CASE STUDY: Resource access for the 21st century
Richard Northover, Product Director, Identity - Elsevier, UK

Librarians are at the forefront of delivering tools, platforms and processes to support researchers. In this session we hear about an initiative designed to facilitate a seamless user experience for creators and consumers of scientific communication and solve challenges in network security and user privacy and the use of collaborative digital research platforms. A system alone isn’t enough for digital content to become a useful part of a collection. A ‘home’ environment for content reflects the core values and activities of the organisation. This session shares practical ideas about how to support digital content, engage with new and existing users and create a hybrid collection that will underpin the core values of any organisation.

QUICK WIN SESSION: Scholarly content in the flow – lean approaches to scholarly resources
Johan Tilstra, CEO, Founder - Lean Library BV - a SAGE Publishing company

Rethinking the role of the library as the starting point for the discovery of scholarly materials led to the ‘hunch’ that patrons might appreciate a plugin in their browsers that offers context bound, ‘just in time’ and ‘just in place’ library services.

Web archiving across borders
Olga Holownia, Programme & Communication Officer - IIPC, UK

With its mission to acquire, preserve and make accessible knowledge and information from the Internet for future generations, the IIPC has been promoting global exchange of ideas and practices through collaborative projects, transnational collections and training initiatives. Over the years the consortium has organised web archiving conferences, workshops, and has collaborated on research and development projects by sharing data and testing tools. The aim of this presentation is to give an overview of the work of the IIPC focusing primarily on its collaborative initiatives as well as outreach projects aiming to encourage researchers to use web archives in their work.

Web archiving collaboration in The Netherlands
Arnoud Goos, Ingest Coordinator - Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, The Netherlands

For over a decade a number of organisations in the Netherlands, including the National Library, the National Archives, the University of Groningen and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, have independently archived the .nl domain or a smaller or larger scale, with different scope, criteria and reasons for their activities. Since 2016 the Digital Heritage Network (Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed) and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision have worked on setting up collaboration between these different initiatives. The first results of this collaboration include the National Register for Archived Websites (an overview of all the websites that have been archived in the Netherlands) and two videos promoting web archiving.

Curating 12 million websites
Helena Byrne, Curator of Web Archives - The British Library, UK

The UK Web Archive (UKWA) aims to archive, preserve and give access to the UK web space. This aim is achieved through an annual domain crawl that was first established in 2013. In 2016, the fourth UK domain web crawl harvested 70 terabytes of content. This is estimated at approximately 2 billion web assets (including web pages, images, videos and documents) and 12m websites. In addition to the annual domain crawl, UKWA has been building curated special collections which date back as far as 2005. These collections reflect important aspects of British culture and events that shape society. The aim of this presentation is to highlight what UKWA does, how you can use it and how you can get involved.  

PROMISE: Preserving Online Multiple Information: towards a Belgian strategy
Eveline Vlassenroot, Researcher - Ghent University, Belgium

Belgium does not currently have a web archive. Without a web archive a significant portion of Belgian history will be lost forever. The aim of the PROMISE project is to (i) identify current best practices in web-archiving and apply them to the Belgian context, (ii) pilot Belgian web-archiving, (iii) pilot access (and use) of the pilot Belgian web archive for scientific research, and (iv) make recommendations for a sustainable web-archiving service for Belgium. As part of the project, an online survey was launched to help understand the requirements and needs of (potential) users of web archives. This presentation will report back on the results of the survey and outline the next steps in the project.
