Love this point from @RanTowns "We’re living outside the box - let’s not just get back into the box. Let’s innovate.” #UKSGNov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

Really excellent panel session just now, great reflections on flux, sustainability, innovations and drivers such as Plan S - always important to be able to reflect on impacts to all in the marketplace #UKSGnov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

@LyndseyDixon really excellent panel and your points really chimed with me and much of what we are trying to achieve in support or research and education #UKSGnov

Really interesting findings in DeGruyter's survey of authors on impact of Covid, summarised by @lyndseydixon at #UKSGNov panel discussion https://t.co/6QHYeTYYFL

[Charlie Rapple @charlierapple]

“Pandemic has hit academics hard. Around half of respondents say they have less time or no time for research / writing. Women are disproportionately affected: 25% male academics said they could continue working without restrictions - vs only 15% females @lyndseydixon #UKSGNov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

Really interesting insights and echos what we are seeing in the transitional agreements - more articles and more submissions and more OA - very positive but publishing predictions have been blown out the water #jisc #UKSGnov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

@scott__tweets Not sure that came out how I intended! We do need to have engagement and broad support for the sectors negotiation objectives and strategy from within institutions if we are to succeed in negotiations. The library plays a critical role here #UKSGnov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

@BJF_Librarian excellent presentation and well done for answering all those questions! When you say financially sustainable do you mean within library budget or a wider budget? #UKSGnov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

Great point re engagement - academics are absolutely critical in this and a major component in the success of etextbooks. #UKSGnov

[Caren Milloy @carenmilloy]

An excellent report from @SPARC_NA on the publishing landscape. The textbook section matches our research here in the UK and the drivers for our new approach to textbooks https://t.co/30ESg2Jit5

AGREED with Jean Claude Gudeon about the word 'gold' - I hate it. It is associated with expensive and the best - (and is not nec. either). So I use the terms 'born OA' for gold and 'secondary OA' for green when explaining stuff. #coasp10
