OA Policy positions across Europe UK Finch Report set the UK policy position
- See http://www.researchinfonet.org/publish/finch/ - Recommended a clear policy direction in the UK
towards support for ‘Gold’ open access publishing- Opposed by the research-intensive universities- £100 million will go to publishers over 5 years- No real attempt by Finch or RCUK to protect the UK
research community from escalating publishing costs

Early European Books
The St Andrews Universal Short Title Catalogue project (USTC) will create one of the most powerful resources ever envisaged for the study of book and print culture, providing a complete survey of all printed books – at least 350,000 editions – published in Europe between the invention of printing and the end of the sixteenth centuryhttp://www.ustc.ac.uk/
Cheryl LaGuardia, Library Journal, 04/01/2010:When completed, EEB is going to fulfil the dreams of scholars around the world. A natural complement to EEBO, this is essential for every library supporting scholarly humanities research.
The CERL Thesaurus contains forms of imprint places, imprint names, personal names and corporate names found in found in Early Modern printed books, including variant spellings, forms in Latin and other languages, and pseudonyms.http://www.cerl.org

Research Data: 10 Recommendations for Libraries
1. Offer research data management support. 2. Engage in the development of metadata and data standards and services.
3. Create Data Librarian posts and develop professional staff skills for data librarianship.
4. Participate in institutional policy development.
5. Liaise with researchers to create interoperable data infrastructures.
6. Support the lifecycle for research data via service provision
7. Promote research data citation by applying persistent identifiers to data.
8. Create an institutional Data Catalogue/Repository
9. Get involved in subject specific data management practice.
10. Offer or mediate storage with institutional and/or external providers.

LERU and the European Researcher
LERU Roadmap, including support from LIBER, was produced in 2011
Advocates a balanced approach between Green and Gold OA
Most LERU universities more comfortable with Green than Gold
LERU Roadmap for Research Data approved in principle in September 2013; signoff in November at LERU General Assembly

Traditional role of research libraries as collectors of content continues
Challenges to working at scale across Europeo LIBER can provide focus for this activity
New roles for libraries as research infrastructureo By being embedded in research
workflowo Leading on Open Access to
Publications and Research Data Management
o Managing funds for OA publication and dissemination
o Library as publisher
