academic librarians getting the training they need?</b>"
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=995">https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=995</a> discusses
the issue of changing skill requirements for librarians in an
academic context and the apparent lack of recognition of this
in traditional library training.<br>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">The Office of
Scholarly Communication's survey on the educational background
of those working in scholarly communication has struck a chord
with the community, receiving 439 responses since it opened.
Responses show that many of those working in this area come
from outside librarianship, mainly from research and IT roles.
Even those who do come from within the sector learn many of
the necessary skills on the job rather than through formal
education. This is opening up some interesting areas for
future discussion and investigation. <br>
<br>
We have decided to keep the survey open for one more week so
you still have an opportunity to participate - <a

Please complete the survey by <b>5pm BST on Monday 31 October</b><br>

<li class=""><i class="">“Open Access: grassroots movement or
top-down imposition?”</i> was held yesterday. The panel
came to some interesting conclusions - not least that if
something that starts as a grassroots movement is taken up by
government and funders, then this is a sign of success. Also
that even if the agenda for open access is 'co-opted' in the
process, if the end result is the same this doesn't
necessarily matter. You may have your own opinon - you can
