Toby Green will be interviewing Dr Amanda Lawrence, Research Fellow from RMIT regarding the uplift in publishing outside of formal publication channels and what it means for discovery, collection development and the scholarly record, as well as what Amanda’s research tell us about the needs of researchers and practitioners outside academia, especially policy makers.

I know it’s here somewhere… Exposing grey literature for the greater good

Registration is required for each event, and a link to Wiley’s registration page is provide on the CAUL event site.

These sessions are open to anyone, so please feel free to promote them however you see fit.

There is known global issue with WorldShare/Tipasa.  It looks like patrons can still place interloan requests as per normal, but it may be intermittent until properly resolved.

Please suggest patrons try again later if experiencing problems, as it shouldn’t be long before fixed.

Ngā mihi, Sue

Springer’s cap for APC waivers (as part of our Read & Publish agreement)  is now technically exceeded for 2022 manuscript submissions.    They should honour any pending publications, or authors can come to us for clarification if they’re concerned.

The new cap for 2023 will apply to any articles accepted from 1st Jan 2023 onwards.

Thanks, LAC

With LAC staff WFH until Tuesday, no physical Interloans that arrive will be processed for collection until next week.  We’re all still working so happy to take new requests, emails and phone calls.    Thanks,
