David Hughes - Why Do We Need “Open”, Anyway?
Open scholarship is becoming embedded in librarianship and contributes greatly to improving access to knowledge, but perhaps it’s worthwhile reminding ourselves why there’s a need for “open” in the first place. This talk will look at trends and developments – such as Digital Rights Management and Generative AI – that pose a possible threat to how libraries provide access to knowledge and how moving to fairer access models may mitigate these threats.
Presentation Slides:
David Hughes:
David has over 30 years’ experience in the LIS sector and has worked in a various of roles in the public and private sector in both the UK and Ireland including cataloguer, indexer, project manager and systems librarian. He worked for a long time in the library at Dublin Business School where he developed an enthusiasm (not a passion!) for open-source software. He currently works for Education and Training Boards Ireland where he manages a digital library for the further education and training sector and has developed an enthusiasm (again, not a passion) for open educational resources. David is a former member of the ASL committee and helped to set up the LAI’s Open Scholarship Group
