Title: Inter-Research Science Publisher (Oldendorf/Luhe, Germany): Presentation and Open Forum

Abstract: Inter-Research is a small, single-owner publisher that produces 8 academic science journals of high quality and well-established reputation, in particular the flagship journal Marine Ecology Progress Series, which in 2019 will celebrate its 40th anniversary. To begin this session, I will briefly introduce Inter-Research and what it does, specifically the processes an article goes through from submission for peer review to acceptance and publication. For the second and longer part, an Open Forum: here is your chance to discuss directly with a publisher and together with your colleagues those burning serials issues. The long-term economic viability of subscription publishing models versus Open Access models, price rises, future relevancy of academic journals as an information source, copyright and distribution control—the possibilities for a lively and interesting discussion are endless. I already have questions for you.

Title: Strategies for Providing Access to Aquatic and Fisheries Information no Matter the Location, Technological Access, and Users: A Case for Malawi

Abstract:
Researchers in fisheries and aquaculture are located in various organizations and use aquatic and fisheries information available in different formats. Apart from these researchers, the country has also scholars, policy makers, teachers, extension workers and farmers who seek aquatic and fisheries information for various usages. Some of the uses of the information are literature review, teaching and learning, extension, planning, decision making, access to markets for farm produces and community education. Providing access to relevant aquatic and fisheries information involve a number of players such as librarians, communication and information experts and broadcasters. Access to the aquatic and fisheries information must therefore be timely and accessed in the right format considering that there is now advanced technology. The paper therefore discusses the various ways of accessing relevant aquatic and fisheries information with reference to Malawi taking into consideration the available technology and the location of the information users. The paper also outlines the challenges faced by those involved in providing the needed information.

Keywords: information usage; information access; technological access; information users; information providers

Title: Analysis of the documentary information of scientific and technical research of the Moroccan marine environment.

Abstract: Since the beginning of the first decade of this century, the Moroccan scientific and technical media scene has witnessed a great development in the production of information favored by the evolution of information and communication technologies. The modernization and equipment in communication infrastructures of Moroccan institutions specialized in the production and the diffusion of the information contributed to the radiation of the research works in marine sciences. The results of these institutions’ efforts are presented in several products, in particular the portals of national institutes and documentation centers and their databases, which include their archives and archives of universities and scientific and technical institutes. This paper looks at the contribution of information and documentation systems in the creation and dissemination of Moroccan scientific and technical information in the marine environment. We will try to give a general overview of all existing Moroccan infrastructures and a detailed statistical analysis on the type of existing information, whether open source or restricted.

Title: Inside the Scientific Paper.

English abstract

The researcher has a crucial relation with the scientific publication. It’s indeed through the scientific article that he communicates the results of his investigations, and it is also through the same paper that he is evaluated and in fact the evolution of his career is there profondly dependent.

During a long period editing and sharing knowledge was assured on one hand by oral way (conferences, seminars, etc.) and on the other hand by way written in the form of academic publications (reports, theisis) and scientists contribution to books. Besides, this written production was published by scolar society (University, research institution, etc.) and commercial publishers, who over the years, took an almost monopoly of the scientific papers publication and built a powerful economic empire very binding and putting marginally alarge part of researchers worlwide.

However, the development of computing and the electronic networks begun ath the beginning of 1960-1970 years, and keeps perfecting in our days, opened new opportunities for other more democratic forms of sharing scientific knowledge.

This presentation tries to redraw the various stages evolution of the scientific publications and to reveal their bottoms and particularities.

Résumé Français :

Le chercheur a une relation cruciale avec la publication scientifique. C’est en effet à travers l’article scientifique qu’il communique ses résultats et c’est également à travers ce même article qu’il est évalué, en somme l’évolution de sa carrière y est profondément dépendante.

Pendant une longue période la diffusion des connaissances était assurée, d’une part par voie orale (conférence, séminaires, etc.) et d’autre part, par voie écrite sous forme de publications académiques (mémoires, thèses, etc.) et scientifiques (contribution à des ouvrages). En plus, cette production écrite était publiée par des sociétés savantes (institutions de recherche, université, etc.) et des éditeurs commerciaux, qui au fil des ans, ont pris le quasi-monopole de la communication scientifique et en ont bâti un puissant empire économique très contraignant et mettant à la marge une bonne partie de chercheurs à travers le monde.

Cependant, le développement de l’informatique et les réseaux électroniques amorcé au début des années 60-70 et qui continue de se perfectionner à nos jours, a ouvert de nouvelles opportunités pour d’autres formes plus démocratiques de diffusion de la science.

Cette présentation essaye de retracer les différentes étapes évolutives des publications scientifiques et d’en dévoiler les dessous et les particularités.

Title: Succession planning in IAMSLIC and in aquatic and marine libraries.

Abstract: Some IAMSLIC members have retired, and inevitably some will be retiring soon. The organization and their libraries will soon face open positions. This study will investigate how IAMSLIC member libraries respond to the need to prepare and develop future leaders in the organization and in their libraries. The study aims to document programs or activities in team building, recruitment and selection process for leaders and managers, “growing your own” leaders, and best practices in succession planning. The study aims to determine how IAMSLIC member libraries address leadership transition and transform services and staffing. It also aims to consolidate the concerns, opinions, and suggestions on how to sustain the IAMSLIC as an organization and continue the legacy of excellent leadership and continued cooperation among members. It will investigate the willingness, interests, and potentials of members to serve on a committee and the executive board. The information gathered could serve as the basis for training and mentoring programs for future IAMSLIC leaders and library directors.

Since 2006, I have been involved in the ODINAFRICA project as Marine Information Manager of Mauritania. I have never participated in the IAMSLIC meetings and I was honored to participate this year to discuss with participants the issues of oceanographic and marine information management. I also wish to share with them the reflection I have made on the contribution of the ODINAFRICA project in the development of oceanographic research by making information available to researchers in West Africa, particularly those of Mauritanian Institute of Oceanographic Research and Fisheries.

Assane will present…

Title: Role of Marine Libraries Developed in the ODINAFRICA: development of oceanographic research in Africa – the case of researchers in Mauritania

Abstract: The ODINAFRICA project participated in training in the management of marine information librarians, the creation of a pan-African network of National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), product development and targeted services for national and regional end users in African countries. Currently, over 40 marine-related institutions in 25 African countries, including Mauritania, have tried to address the challenges faced in access to data and information for coastal management. The NODC of Mauritania was established in 2001 under the Mauritanian Institute of Oceanographic Research and Fisheries (IMROP). The IMROP library has developed several products and services such as ODINAFRICA NODC and project websites, newsletters and brochures, ocean data catalogues (metadata), library catalogues, and directories of experts and institutions. IMROP’s librarians also participated in several training sessions on the management of marine information. In this paper, we first show that the project has strengthened capacity in marine library management and also in the provision of information at the library of IMROP. A questionnaire administered to twenty researchers at IMROP showed us how they used the different services and products available to them through the ODINAFRICA project. We also raise several questions to the end of the project, including the maintenance of the various services and databases.

Title: IODE Associate Information Units: a new opportunity for marine information managers to participate at the global level

Authors: Sally Taylor (presenter), Wenjing Dong, Heike Lust, Saida Messaoudi, Pauline Simpson, Aida Sogaray, Jennifer Walton (Joint IODE-IAMSLIC Group of Experts in Marine Information Management in a Transitional Capacity aka GEMIN-in-T)

Abstract:

How can the marine information management community participate more actively within the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) Network? Although there are National Coordinators for Marine Information Management, there has been no other mechanism for IODE to communicate directly with other marine information professionals, and it has been a challenge for IODE to reach the broader marine information community. This changed in 2017 at the 24^th session of the IOC Committee on IODE when the Committee approved the establishment of Associate Information Units (AIUs). Interested regional or national projects, programmes, institutions or organizations with information activities can apply to become an AIU, and if approved, benefit from the ability to influence the IODE Committee decisions on global marine data and information initiatives. A representative from the Joint IODE-IAMSLIC Group of Experts in Marine Information Management in a Transitional Capacity (GEMIM-in-T), which was tasked with designing and managing the application process, will present this new opportunity to conference attendees. She will review the Terms of Reference, outline the benefits, describe the application process, and share progress-to-date. For anyone wishing to apply now, the AIU application form is available at:  http://www.iode.org/aiu

We are just about a month away from the the 44th Annual IAMSLIC Conference & 6th AFRIAMSLIC Regional Meeting in Entebbe, Uganda. Follow our Presenter Profile Series to to learn more about this year’s speakers for #IAMSLICUganda.

We start the series with Olivia Diehr from the Leibniz-Institute for Baltic Sea Research Library.

A little bit about Olivia…

Olivia Karin Diehr is head of the library at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research (Germany). Olivia started her library career in Rostock Public Library, where she worked in the position of a library assistant before she studied librarianship at the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK). In 1994 Olivia graduated with a degree in librarianship. The job opportunities had changed completely after the German reunification. Olivia grabbed the opportunity and started working in academic libraries. She worked in a Governmental University of Applied Sciences (FHöVPR) in Guestrow and at the Greifswald University Library, which is one of Germany’s oldest university libraries. Since August 2008 Olivia has
held the position of librarian at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research in Rostock-Warnemuende. In 2015 she attended her first IAMSLIC conference held in Rome, Italy. Olivia is very grateful to collaborate with marine scientists as well as with information specials from all over the world. Situated just off the Baltic Sea coast, Olivia’s library is certainly one of the most beautiful places to work.

Talk to Olivia in Entebbe about…

I would like to share ideas, stories and inspirations on the future of libraries. I am especially interested in talking with anyone about teaching writing as a process. On a personal level, I love outdoor activities like swimming in the Baltic, hiking & biking and SUP. Furthermore I absolutely love to cook and bake for family and friends. Or we may have a chat about the last FIFA World Cup in Russia?

Olivia will be presenting with Christian Heene on…

Title: Nationwide “publish and read” Agreements with Publishers – the German Projekt DEAL

Abstract: The Projekt DEAL is a consortium of German libraries, universities, and research institutions with started negotiations with the publisher Elsevier in 2016. DEAL wants to set up nationwide “publish and read” agreements with publishers. By paying a lump sum to cover publication costs, all papers authored by German-based researchers would be published open access. This new payment model would certainly have a global impact. Besides Elsevier, there are ongoing negotiations with the publishers SpringerNature and Wiley. We will introduce the recent developments and discuss whether DEAL could be a model for other IAMSLIC libraries.
