ATGthePodcast 168 – A Conversation with Heather Staines, Delta Think
Join us for our latest podcast episode featuring a conversation between Heather Staines, Delta Think, and Matthew Ismail, Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings and a Conference Director at the Charleston Conference.
Heather is a Senior Strategy Consultant with Delta Think, a consultancy firm that works with publishers and technology companies on strategy and research projects. She is also the Director of Community Engagement for the Open Access Data and Analytics tool. Heather is also a Charleston Conference Director.
The center of Heather and Matthew’s conversation is networking and mentoring for people in scholarly communications. They discuss how Heather came to be in her current position, the various conferences and societies with which she is involved, and the value she finds in serving as a mentor, which she likens to being a librarian or a researcher but with people instead of subject areas. Ultimately, Heather wants to help and encourage people in scholarly communications to build their networks and careers through effective networking and volunteering, which she has found to be invaluable to her own career.

ATGthePodcast 167 – Progress Through Partnership: The Dolly Parton Rule for Transformative Agreements
Audio from the 2021 Charleston Library Conference from a session titled “Progress Through Partnership: The Dolly Parton Rule for Transformative Agreements” presented by Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Sara Rouhi, Director Strategic Partnerships, PLOS; Mathew Willmott, Open Access Collection Strategist, California Digital Library; and Sybille Geisenheyner, Director of Open Science Strategy & Licensing, ACS.
“If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one!” Dolly Parton’s advice on how to be a “change agent” assigns responsibility to ourselves, not others.
If there were any doubt before, then the deal the University of California system agreed with Elsevier in March 2021 ended the suspense: Open Access publishing– and the future of Open Science with it – lie down a path that publishers and library leadership must clear one transformative agreement at a time. Working together, they are shaping the paving stones deliberately to make a road that can handle the traffic for researchers and institutions.
Each transformative agreement raises its own set of data and documentation requirements, including tracking and reporting on sophisticated financial information. New workflows as well as customer service support for authors and researchers are elemental. As in California, forging new and creative partnerships dependent on scalable, robust technology.
This presentation will provide an analysis of approaches that serve as a sturdy base layer to help develop solutions that meet the needs of all open access stakeholders. Additionally, panelists will showcase how a shared technology framework has increased collaboration and simplified communication.

ATGthePodcast 165 – Roundtable: Library Discovery and Access in the Post COVID Hybrid World
This week’s podcast contains audio from a webcast titled “Roundtable: Library Discovery and Access in the Post COVID Hybrid World” with a panel including Tony Zanders, CEO, Skilltype; Erin Gallagher, Chair, Acquisitions & Collections Services, University of Florida; Matt Hayes, Managing Director of Lean Library; Talia Richards, Marketing Director, Springshare; and Matthijs van Otegem, Library Director, Erasmus University Rotterdam.
A recent report on the future of the library-patron relationship found that 77% of research discovery begins outside of the library, with patrons largely starting on search engines or Google Scholar. In this conversational panel discussion, librarians from the US and Europe discuss big questions about the role and value of the modern librarian in a digital age and how to meet patrons at their time of need.

ATGthePodcast 160 – A Conversation with Anita Schjøll Brede, CEO & Co-Founder at Iris.ai
Join us for our latest podcast episode featuring a conversation between Anita Schjøll Brede, CEO & Co-Founder at Iris.ai, and Matthew Ismail, Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings and Conference Director.
Anita currently lives in Denmark and is the CEO and Co-Founder of Iris.ai, which is an AI company handling published scientific research founded in 2015. She also gives lectures and workshops on AI, innovation, and the future of technology. Anita is a faculty member at Singularity University, which she describes as a mix of a think tank and an educational facility for corporates and continuing education.
Anita and Matthew discuss how she began working in AI after receiving her bachelor’s degree in Theater. Anita had an opportunity to travel to Silicon Valley where she found herself in the middle of tech-enabled, large-scale entrepreneurship. She worked in a start-up there for several years and then founded other companies involving AI. Anita’s present company, Iris.ai, is a virtual research assistant that will automate key parts of a research project by analyzing the abstract of a research paper, presenting the key concepts, and linking those concepts with research papers. This process, says Anita, can allow researchers to focus only on the papers that are most relevant to their particular research project.
