Tell us what you're doing! : using library data to inform scholarly communications
Leo Appleton


Guest lecture by Dr Leo Appleton, Editor-in-Chief New Review of Academic Librarianship and Senior University Teacher at the University of Sheffield&#x27;s Information SchoolAudience: Library staff interested in writing for academic publication and those already published who wish to develop their peer-reviewed publication output.It is commonly thought that the role of the librarian in research and scholarship is to support it - to be the gatekeeper and organiser of the information, data, knowledge and resources that are accessed by others to use in their research. Of course, this is not the only role that librarians play in the world of research, scholarship and publication. They are also major contributors, with library and information science being a large academic discipline, into which many sub-disciplines fall including that of library and information services management, and library practitioners have been contributing to the body of knowledge about librarianship and library management for many years. Librarians are surrounded by data about their practice, whether this be quantitative or statistical data or qualitative data from case studies, reflections or evaluations. This session will look at how practicing librarians, from all sectors, can use their day-to-day library practice and activity to inform their scholarship and how to turn what they do into a publication. From the professional press to peer reviewed publication, there are many outlets for library practitioners to publish. This presentation will unpick this &#x27;library publishing&#x27; environment and will provide advice and tips for &#x27;getting started&#x27; and also from a &#x27;next steps&#x27; perspective for those who may already have experience in academic publishing.<a href="https://maynoothuniversity-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/elaine_bean_mu_ie/EXI07N15ksZIukR4QCsZoFkBP-upLPNYaRPyaGbkxkquhw?e=Tirxon " target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">View full programme for Love Data Week</a>
