A National System for Purchasing eResources: How Will We Form CzechELib?
The foundations for a future CzechELib are being forged, but what does the Czech academic community need to consider in order to make CzechELib a reality by 2016? This year's KRE will provide a forum for discussion by national and international leaders about the current conceptualization of a future national purchasing entity, its potential benefits, and the challenges we will face in creating an efficient, accountable national eResources system.

Karel Aim: Acquisition of information sources for R&D in the Czech Republic (present-day and the future?)
Presentation (Czech version) (PDF, 138 kB)Video (Czech version)
Abstract:
The prevailing contemporary practice in the acquisition of electronic information sources for R&D in the Czech Republic is reviewed in the context of the National Policy on R&D and Innovation. Over the period of about last 15 years, with some exceptions the acquisition has been based on competition (of ad hoc consortia) for projects within programs based on targeted support of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The current state of affairs at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR) and in particular the key role and activities of the central Library of the ASCR in arranging for the access of ASCR institutes to electronic information sources are briefly described. It is generally felt that the approach at the national level has been neither systemic nor economically effective. Possible scenarios of adjusting or transforming the acquisition system to a more streamlined and effective model will be outlined in view of the overall R&D system and the relevant legal framework. Foreseen changes will be discussed.
K. Aim graduated in technical analytical and physical chemistry from the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague and defended his Ph.D. dissertation in physical chemistry at the Academy of Sciences (ASCR). He worked at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby and at the University of Trieste. His main research interests are experimental and applied statistical thermodynamics of fluid systems. His other interests include R&D management, foresight and R&D policy making. K. Aim was the head of E. Hála Laboratory of Thermodynamics at the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals of ASCR (ICPF); since 1992 to 2012 he was the Chairman of the Scientific Board of ICPF. From 1997 he has served on the governing bodies of ASCR (currently he is a member of the Presidium of the Academy Council of ASCR), on national and international expert bodies (including advisory boards of programs of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports supporting the acquisition of information sources for R&D), and as a delegate of the Czech Republic to committees at the European Commission. Since 2010 he has been a member of the Council for R&D and Innovation, since 2013 its vice-chairman.

Nina Karlstrøm: Bringing it all together - a national CRIS with a national consortia model incorporating a national co-ordination of Open Access
Presentation (PDF, 613 kB)
Video
Abstract:
The presentation will focus on the setting up of the Norwegian CRIStin, Current Research Information System in Norway. Established in January 2011, it is owned by the Ministry of Research and Education in cooperation with the Ministry of Health. CRIStin's main objects are to provide value to society by facilitating cooperation between different research areas and to collect and compile information from the research institutions based on a principle of free access for all.CRIStin's aim is also to provide high quality data on scientific publication as a basis for the funding system for universities/colleges, research institutes/foundations and specialised health care, as well as functioning in a centralized capacity for negotiating and licensing electronic resources to a large number of consortia. Looking more closely at the consortia model, the benefits and challenges of setting up a national body will be discussed.
The presentation will also discuss the synergy effect of combining a national CRIS with a national consortia model and incorporating national co-ordination of Open Access into one organisation.
Nina Karlstrøm is Senior Adviser at CRIStin, Current Research Information System in Norway. She is National Coordinator for work on Open Access, a role given CRIStin by the Norwegian Ministry of Research and Education. In CRIStin the Open Access team work specifically on the synergy effects from the national CRIS, the national consortia model for licensing and the Institutional repositories. She in National Contact Point on the CERN SCOAP3 project, and will act as partner in the coming EU-funded PASTEUR4OA project.
Daniel Münich: The Current System of Information Provision for Czech R&D from an Economic Perspective
Presentation (Czech version) (PDF, 469 kB)
Video
Abstract:
Markets for information used in the R&D sector have many specific characteristics which should be considered in relation to a system of public support and coordination. If not, as has been the case over the long-term in the Czech Republic, access to information becomes much more expensive and complicated than it could be.
Daniel Münich is an Associate Professor at CERGE-EI, the joint academic institution of the Economic Institute (Czech Academy of Sciences) and the Centre for economic research and PHD studies (Charles University). He graduated from the Czech Technical University (Faculty of Electrical Engineering) and from the Charles University (PHD in economics). He focuses on the problems of institutional evaluation and research financing.

Martin Svoboda: A National System for Purchasing Electronic Information Resources
Presentation (Czech version) (PDF, 655 kB)
Video (Czech version)
Abstract:
A brief overview of the history of the concept for a managing electronic information resources at the national level in the Czech Republic, including potential benefits and challenges to consider in establishing a framework for the future. This overview should provide a satisfactory basis for spurring discussion about the next steps to take in establishing a national licensing center and upon what legal, economic, technical, and human resources principles such a center should be based. The aim of this discussion is to reach agreement upon a framework for further advances, particularly regarding legal and organizational issues.Martin Svoboda holds a degree from Czech Technical University in electrical engineering (specialization: computer technology). He was a manager, systems programmer and Director of Automation at the Czech National Library (1988-1997) and has been Director of the State Technical Library (now the Czech National Library of Technology) since 1997 . He is an active member of many Czech and international professional organizations (SKIP, ELAG, LIBER, and others). He actively participates in discussions about current topics affecting libraries, ranging from copyright issues to the joint purchase of electronic information sources.
