Join our team ! Metadata and statistics manager – Open Access Transition

The National Library of Luxembourg (bnl.lu) is looking for a metadata and statistics management Service Provider in the context of the Open Access transition for its digital library department “Consortium Luxembourg pour l’acquisition et la gestion de publications électroniques”: www.consortium.lu/about

Contract type

  • 2-3 year contract, expected workload 20-30 hrs/week (negotiable)
  • Status “Independent Service Provider” (not an employee position, see “Further information” below)
  • Available: immediately
  • Deadline: All applications received until 28th June 2020 included will be considered

Job description

Consortium Luxembourg is a department of the National Library of Luxembourg founded in 2006. It is the managing entity behind the digital libraries of the University of Luxembourg, public research centres such as LIST and LIH, ministries, public libraries and secondary schools. The National Library’s digital offer itself is available, including remote access, for free for the general public.

Consortium Luxembourg is uniquely placed in the national context to enable the transition to Open Access in cooperation with its consortial partners. The Service Provider’s task will be to define, adapt, test and deploy new workflows within the existing administrative framework to ensure a smooth integration of Open Access publishing into the consortial service offer.

The Service Provider’s person of contact will be the head of consortial services and its mission will notably entail to collaborate with the existing consortium team of four people (3.18 FTE), especially the current Metadata and statistics manager.

All tasks are remotely workable. Depending on the evolution of the pandemic and provision of service, the Service Provider’s mission may require to work from the National library’s brand-new building in Luxembourg city.

The Service Provider will need to demonstrate an ability to work in perfect coordination with our teams and be self-motivated while working in a multicultural and multilingual environment, most of the people the Service Provider will be working with in the course of its assignment being at least quadrilingual.

Main tasks

Context: In 2017 we started preparing for Open Access in the Consortium department. We added tools and processes to make the transition as data driven and automated as possible. Today, we are entering a new phase (2021-2023), as many consortial processes are affected by the new realities during the transition years. This affects financial, data, statistics and communication processes. The Service Provider will use existing data and statistics tools but also adapt these tools and take part in the implementation of new tools, pilot projects and integrations.

  • Integration of workflows related to Open Access publications with the current (subscription) licence lifecycle. The context of this task are the existing administrative interfaces of the publishers and their future Open Access dashboards. The current consortial software tools are ConsortiaManager ERM; ExLibris Primo Central Index, SFX; OCLC EZProxy; Ebook Metadata Manager tool (local development) and Lean Library. 
  • Developing workflows to monitor transformational agreements efficiently with a focus on flexible cost allocation models between consortial partners (“Read” vs “Publish” costs). The context of this task are the existing processes of gathering, analysing and reporting of statistics about the national scientific publication output and its shift towards Open Access. The relationships between “Read” and “Publish” statistics such as cost, usage and citations will need to be defined. The current toolkit is: ezPAARSE software for article level usage statistics, Counter 4&5 reports, internal usage data and Kibana for analysis & visualisation. Current pilot projects are ChronosHub (with FNR.lu) and ConsortiaManager ROM (Research Output Manager).

Other tasks

  • Active participation in consortial planning for staying on top of the Open Access transition relevant to the main responsibilities above.
  • Continuous documentation of internal transformation processes.
  • Communication and training tasks, both internal and external.

Requirements

  • Fluently bilingual: English a must, plus French, German or Luxembourgish
  • Please use the categories of the Common European Framework for language skills: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages 
  • University diploma (preferably in library or information science, digital publishing or similar)
  • Basic IT skills, capable understanding complex configurations, very good Excel skills

Note: The Service Provider is not required to do tasks such as server maintenance and updates or system configuration, those are handled by the IT Division of the BnL. You are required to be able to work closely with IT though.

Advantages

  • Additional languages, especially French, German and Luxembourgish. 
  • Professional experience in a comparable job or specialist studies in the field.
  • Knowledge of statistical models and projections.

How to apply

  • Please send your application by email, including a CV and motivation letter (not handwritten!) and any references you consider relevant to the head of personnel management (marc.birsens@bnl.etat.lu) and in copy, the head of consortial services (patrick.peiffer@bnl.etat.lu). Subject: “Candidature Consortium Luxembourg”.
  • All applications received until 28th June 2020 included will be considered.

Remote access for law databases

You may now access the following databases from home and don’t need to be logged in to the library network. Please note remote access will only be available as long as the National Library and University library (LLC) are closed!

Librarians all over the world are collecting information about the different initiatives from scientific publishers. You may find the overview here

Update on access to digital library

We are busy enabling remote access for all products that were limited to in-house access, so that you can continue working now that all libraries have closed. Publishers are extremely helpful but this will take another few days. If you urgently need access to a product, please get in touch via help@findit.lu.

Update: If you are a registered user of the National Library, University of Luxembourg, LIST or LIH you may now access the following databases from home and don’t need to be physically at the library. Please note remote access will only be available as long as the National Library and University library (LLC) are closed!

Any support questions can be sent as usual to help@findit.lu.

All our products can be found via the National Library’s main search engine a-z.lu. There is online help available at the top of the page in English, French and German.

ICOLC Statement on the Global COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Impact on Library Services and Resources

This statement, written on behalf of the many library consortia across the world that participate in ICOLC (International Coalition of Library Consortia), and the individual libraries these consortia represent, has two purposes. It is intended to help publishers and other content providers from whom we license electronic information resources and purchase printed content (hereafter simply referred to as publishers) understand better how the current global COVID-19 pandemic affects the worldwide information community. Its second purpose is to suggest a range of approaches that we believe are in the mutual best interest of libraries and the providers of information services.

The ICOLC participating consortia consider the current crisis of such significance that we cannot simply assume that libraries and publishers share a common perspective about the magnitude of the crisis and the best approaches to cope with it. ICOLC members have been exchanging perspectives about how the global COVID-19 pandemic will impact consortia and their member libraries.

At this time according to UNESCO, partial or complete university and school closures in 49 countries have canceled or suspended classes for 391 million students.

Many college and university students will be completing the current academic term in an entirely on-line format, so the campus communities can practice social distancing as recommended by the World Health Organization and many other national and global health agencies.

We ask that Publishers immediately consider:

  1. Making any relevant content and data sets about COVID-19, Coronaviruses (regardless of species affected), vaccines, antiviral drugs, etc. currently behind subscription-only paywalls Open Access immediately to facilitate research, guide community public health response, and accelerate the discovery of treatment options.
  2. Removing and waiving all simultaneous user limits to an institution’s licensed digital content during this period when universities are going all online in order to allow research, discovery, and learning to proceed.
  3. Lifting existing contractual ILL restrictions or photocopying limits temporarily so that libraries may assist our students to complete their term.
  4. Allowing the maximum extent of copyright limitations, exception and fair use, even if contractually restricted, to enable institutions to continue their vital teaching missions as campuses transition to an online, remote format.

We ask that publishers begin planning to:

  1. Allow flexible renewal periods and lengthened payment due dates as we do not know the future impacts on health or business operations for either consortium staff who facilitate the renewal, or for the librarians at our member institutions. If the regular renewal cycle is disrupted, we ask that publishers keep access on for our member libraries, even though the consortium’s or institution’s current agreement may have expired.
  2. Delay or minimize any planned price increases until the upheaval and disruption that we are seeing in our user communities, public health systems, and stock markets all over the world calms. The financial impacts on institutions of higher education and the global economy are as yet unknown, and price increases will add even more pressure to already-stressed universities and municipalities. In stable times, standardized pricing and terms may work relatively well. But today, libraries will be under heavy pressure to divert financial resources to other areas of immediate concern within the institution or local government.
  3. Develop plans to temporarily lift paywalls or develop alternative methods of authentication to allow access to subscribed content if traditional campus authentication mechanisms (VPNs, proxy servers) are overloaded under the increased traffic.
  4. Lift campus-only restrictions, so that teaching activities can continue online and remotely, despite University closures.

We encourage publishers to work together with consortia and libraries for the benefit of all communities. Library consortia are uniquely positioned to be the most effective and efficient means to preserve the customer base for publishers and create solutions that provide the greatest good for the greatest number.

It is in the best interest of both publishers and consortia to seek creative solutions that allows critical access to publisher content for the research and public health communities.

In combination, we suggest these approaches as a way to advance the conversations among libraries, consortia, and publishers, who all hope to provide as much information as possible to the users who need it. We believe our recommendations provide a solid foundation for the information community, including the publishers of scholarly information, to go forward together in these difficult times.

We want to express appreciation to the information services community for steps they are taking to address the global crisis.
