I have worked as a reference librarian, distance education librarian, collection development librarian, interlibrary loan librarian, and most recently as an Access Services librarian, during my career. in MY SPAre TiMe: I like to garden. FAvoriTe BooKS: Cookbooks. HoW/WHere do i See THe indUSTrY in Five YeArS: I see academic libraries moving increasingly toward utilizing library staff to provide basic, core library services and to keep buildings open longer to provide students with study spaces, while reference librarians realign their work into niche research services. Libraries will continue to purchase more digital resources, which will result in fewer unique collections, while at the same time researchers will continue to demand access to increasingly scarce "unique" or current items.
/ Workgroup QuestionFollowing up on recommendations from OSI 2016, this team will dig deeper into the question of developing and recommending new tools to repair or replace the journal impact factor (and/or how it is used), and propose actions the OSI community can take between now and the next meeting. What's needed? What change is realistic and how will we get there from here?

ABSTRACTThe ongoing growth in research data publication supports global intra-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research collaboration but the current generation of archive-centric research data repositories do not address some of the key practical obstacles to research data sharing and re-use, specifically: discovering relevant data on a global scale is timeconsuming; sharing 'live' and streaming data is non-trivial; managing secure access to sensitive data is overly complicated; and, researchers are not guaranteed attribution for re-use of their own research data. These issues are keenly felt in an international network like the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) as it seeks to address major global challenges. In this paper we outline the WUN Web Observatory project's plan to overcome these obstacles and, given that these obstacles are not unique to WUN, we also propose an ambitious, longer-term route to their solution at Web-scale by applying lessons from the Web itself.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
