Now kickstart the amazing lineup that we have and our very first presentation is titled Working in Partnership in Sierra Leone by Alan Fraker from King's College London. Alan is going to talk about how he was able to build on areas of personal interest to deliver a partnership project working across multiple organizations and countries. I will now hand over to Alan. So thanks Massoud and I'm really pleased to be able to come and talk to you on the head of clinical library services at King's College London and I'm going to talk about some work that we did in Sierra Leone. King's I'm sure will be familiar to most of you but the impact of health at King's is really important. It's a huge part of the life of the university, more than half of the kind of students and work that we do is in that area. We sign up thousands of NHS users to our libraries every year. Here we are at the medical library at Tommy's. You can tell it's a medical library because of the ashtrays basically but it's a really important part of what we do and service is also a really important part of King's. The King's Strategic Vision 2029 places service very much at the heart of what the university is trying to do with an ambitious goals to try to make a better world which I think is something that we can all get behind. In terms of libraries and collections where we work right across multiple sites, we're very much in the spirit of the King's Health Partners Academic Health Science mission dealing with education, research, patient care and we've got an ongoing commitment to service ourselves. We've been very successful in going through the various levels of the NUS Sustainability Scheme. We've got a Green Gown Award actually to recognise our efforts but we're also involved in all sorts of things like Wrap Up London and Waterloo Food Bank. Things that reflect the kinds of commitments that members of staff and interests that they have. So why Sierra Leone? Well I came to King's about seven years ago now and I was aware of King's Sierra Leone Partnership. People may have heard of them through the work that they did around Ebola but actually that's not their main focus. Their main focus is on building educational capacity in that country. So for example they made it possible to complete a post-graduate medical education training in Sierra Leone without having to go abroad. And so they were on my to-do list basically. We often have these to-do lists. I had an interest in Park Ships and Health Information work that previously used to happen. And you get nudges and so I had a little nudge. I was the chair of a talk by a charity called African Hospital Libraries, a health library student conference and they are a fantastic small charity working in Sierra Leone where they have been building up and actually building quite recently libraries serving the hospitals in each of the regions of Sierra Leone. Do have a look at them and support them if you're able. And I love the fact that we have common issues. This was a user feedback from a survey that they ran. And actually you could swap some of the headings but I'm sure a lot of us will find those as familiar issues. So they were great. To start with what I did was actually use them as a way to make a connection. So I put together Sierra Leone partnership in African Hospital Libraries and they had a meeting and we discussed some of the kind of possibilities for working together and making those connections. And I also started engaging the library team as well because I wanted them to think about what might be possible. And so we did a bit of fundraising which included me running a great big loop around all of our different libraries, 17 kilometers and it turns out lots of steps. Didn't realize quite how many of our libraries were upstairs until I had to run up them all. And we raised enough money to effectively fund a salary for a member of library staff in Sierra Leone for a year. So a small thing but a really good thing. We pushed on from that to try and do something a bit broader and we hosted and facilitated a stakeholder day for African Hospital Libraries. Very much inspired by Shane Godbolt who sadly passed through a while ago. But she's a huge inspiration in terms of linking together different people across global health librarianship. And so we had all sorts of people represented from book aid in ASP, medicaid films and probably helping them on and on and on. And so it was really good to make those different connections, see people, hear about what they were doing and help African Hospital Libraries prepare a future strategy. And when you do things with people, things then happen. So I'd seen something around research for life and grants. But I'd thought, oh, I'm a bit too busy. Can't do it at the moment. And then Max from King's Area and Partnership got in touch and said, what are you here? Shall we have a go? And so we did. Those who don't know, Research for Life basically is a publisher initiative. They work in to connect developing world researchers with the international scientific community, particularly in terms of trying to reduce publishing gap but also around access to resources. And the big thing that is of interest in this particular project was Hinaari. It's one of their subject portals. There's about 160, 70 publishers involved and they've got fantastic resources, certainly better resources than I had available at some of the libraries I've worked at in the past. So it's a really great initiative. I believe it has been continued and renewed for a further period of time. And we made that joint bid. We worked with the team in Sierra Leone, contact with the librarians and it was great. And we were successful. And then a moment of panic. Actually, we can only send one person and the person that I was hoping to send has skedaddled off to Bristol to work in a different library there. So it turns back around to me. So that's a lesson. So it's our days that define us and it was going to be down to me to head to Sierra Leone. Did a lot of remote partnership. So Hinaari have created commons licensed materials and needed to go over review and check those things and worked with the community and the board of directors. And so, I'm really happy to be able to use that. And I'm really happy to have the opportunity to be able to review and review. And so I'm really excited to be able to do that. I'm excited to be able to do that because I have a friend who is working with me. He's one of the leaders of Leni Rhyne in the States on that, but also connecting to the team in Freetown. Some difficulties actually with Internet and all the rest of it. I may have made a mobile phone call to Sierra Leone. I'm not going to say it all now, not enough time, but I was still preparing my materials and copying loads of copies of the slides onto USB sticks and a really good, we thought way to share things with the participants at the end. So what did we actually do? So it was a week long series of workshops. We ran the same workshop in the morning and in the afternoon to try and get as many people through as possible. We had 25 people all together with about one to two librarians to educators and it was really important that we brought those groups together because we wanted to encourage that partnership as well. And we were trying to really push on and think about more than just point and click. There's an enormous amount of contents. It's quite hard to get out from underneath it all when you're talking to people. There was a big focus on peer partnership. This is Mr. Sasse. He's the librarian at Comas and he'd helped define some of the areas of the workshop. And that was what we were really keen to do was focus actually on building skills within that librarian team. And also building confidence to think about how they would roll some of what they'd learned on but also how they might build services around the things that are within. Had a quick visit to his library at one point. This was when the lights had come back on. You can see students busy working away. Quite well equipped with books but the IT space at the back there was not plugged in. And I think that was pretty typical of some of the challenges in Sierra Leone around IT things. But it was great to hear more about how they were working and their plans and to try and encourage and understand where we're not going. I couldn't have done it without the partnership with King Sierra Leone partnership, I would say. They did a huge amount of logistics. This is the drive from where I was staying to the hospital in the morning. Freetown is a very hectic place. This is on Railway Road. It's a kind of flying bridge. But they did huge things around housing, lunch, even in the hospital canteen, printing, all of these things. So that was really important. And Val, the person who was in the background of that last picture, was the second trainer in effect. Challenging to continue that work, we have tried to do it. There's various write-ups that were still engaged in just completing the last bits. COVID put a big spanner in those works and I think that's something where you need to return and try and see how we can better those connections, particularly around trying to encourage some professional linking. Personally, it was a hugely intense but rewarding thing, really using stuff that I've learned in my career over 20 years and putting it to really good use. I always feel lucky that I did useful work, but this was kind of level above on that. Also, what it feels like to run in 40 degrees of heat, which is not great. I can confirm. And finally, I say Sierra Leone is a beautiful place. I hope people will have the opportunity at some point to go there. Partnership work has been fantastic for us to be involved in and it's a real way for us to bring our skills into play and make a difference in our institutions and beyond. Thank you. I will now swiftly move on to our next lightning talk, which is on the topic of making culture change, Open Scholarship Community Building, Divy and How. I'm delighted to welcome Hardy Sean for this presentation. Hardy is the Open Scholarship Librarian at the National University Island in Galway and he's also the coordinator of the Open Scholarship Community Galway. Welcome Hardy and over to you. And I will talk about why and how Open Scholarship communities can help with culture change. And my talk really starts with the dream we all share, which is that in the not so distant future, we live in a world where open practices are embedded in the research and publication cycle. Where all scientific research will be freely available to people within and outside of academia where eventually we can drop open altogether because research is open by default. But how do we get there? How do things change? And how does a large group like researchers collectively change their behavior? And I think there has been surprisingly little thought from stakeholders on how this change might work. And it is only really in the past two or three years that main players like funders have started to think about this. Now on a high level funders have paid attention to the importance of culture change. So here you can see one example from the EU Commission's open science policy. Open science relies on the combined effects of technological development and cultural change. Well, and you can find similar statements from other funders. So it is important that culture changes, but how does it change? Well, I find it helpful to work with a culture change model and the one that are like most, and you might be familiar with this one, it's from the Center for Open Science. And according to this model, there are five layers that work together to stimulate change of culture. And they have policies, incentives, communities, user experience and infrastructure. Now, which of these five layers have been the most important one for funders and universities? I guess we can agree that policies is the layers most considered as well probably to a lesser extent infrastructure. The central part of the pyramid, the communities often gets overlooked and seems under supported. And in my opinion, this could offer an opportunity for libraries. So what are open communities that can help with culture change? Well, such communities will be researcher led and bottom up inclusive of all disciplines. They make open scholarship knowledge and know how more visible and accessible. They shape the transition to open scholarship so it is most beneficial for researchers, science and society. And they also build personal and professional networks of like-minded members. So has anyone tried this form of community building? Well, all eyes on the Netherlands, they have come up with a concept of open science communities. And as you can see here, there are currently 11 of them from Groeningen up north to Maastricht in the south of the country. Now, the first and to my knowledge, most advanced is the open science community in Utrecht. The initiative started with two researchers called Anita and Luke, one from linguistics and one from psychology. And they started the OC as a grassroots initiative in their own time and even with their own money to cover initial costs like running a website. And then later partnered with Utrecht University Library. So we like the Dutch community idea, but how can we adapt it to our environment in Ireland and Galway? Well, first we had a very, we had a close look at the very useful start your own OC guide written by Anita and Luke. In 10 points, they present a useful step-by-step guide that we used in our planning. So here you can see a condensed version of the 10 step guide. So in bold, you can see the steps that we have already taken or that we are working on. And I will highlight some of the steps that I think are particularly important. Now, the first step is to find open scholarship enthusiasts at your institution. Well, at NU I Galway, these enthusiasts, they do exist, but they're often individuals, not groups and not connected beyond institutional divisions. So initially I had conversations with a dozen or so enthusiasts. And I introduced them to the idea of starting a community. The next important step was to create a visual identity, so a logo, a website, Twitter account. And our new friends in Utrecht were kind enough to design the logo that visually links us with the Dutch communities. Well, the next action on Utrecht's guide, that was maybe the most significant one. And also I thought, well, this could go wrong. Well, I asked people to sign up to the community and put their name, and as you can see here, their picture to it. Our success so far, we have currently 43 members and more than 80 people signed up to our community mailing list. Compared to some of the Dutch communities, this is modest, but considering our circumstances, we think that is a good number. So you have some members, what is next? Well, next is organizing events. So we had our first meeting of interested staff and students in November 2019, and you can see our events of the first six months of the community here. And I should say that we understand open scholarship as an umbrella term for a lot of open practices that not only include open access and data management, but also open education, citizen science, and others. And we launched the community officially during our Open Scholarship Week in May last year. And that week of talks and workshops was put together by the Open Scholarship community members. The library provided some help in the logistics, but the program was crowdsourced. And in this spirit, we launched our virtual Open Scholarship Cafes, and you can see some examples here. Again, topics and speakers are community sourced with the library chipping in with some related subjects like plan S and transformative agreements. And now we are in the final stages of preparing our Open Scholarship Week 2021. The organizing committee consists of seven community members. And you can see here some of the things we are preparing, including an Open Scholarship Prize for research students. So what have we learned so far? We've been working on our community in Galway for a good year. So this involved the investment of some of our library resources, mainly staff time. We've connected more than 40 supporters in a network and our cafes typically get 30 to 50 registrations. And on average, we do about one cafe a month. We also gained some recognition from senior management and I would say we have a certain momentum. Now, is this momentum easy to maintain, especially in the pandemic? No, it's not, but we do have the opportunity now in the circumstances, maybe more than before, to connect with a wider international network of equally-minded communities. So why are we doing this? Why is the library involved in building communities? Now, this is an ongoing discussion. We do share values and practices with Open Communities, but it is a challenging balance between library involvement and researcher-led action. There's also the question of how much nurturing and support the community needs before it mostly runs itself. So we believe that an Open Community is an important step towards culture change. It is one where libraries can play an important role and even if this role is difficult to define. Culture change is complex and slow, but without communities, this won't happen. So if you feel inspired to start your own Open Community, please get in touch. I think a network of Open Communities on the British Isles and beyond would be fantastic. So thanks for listening and here are my details if you want to get in touch. Thank you so much, Hardy, for a fantastic presentation and for also really tangible practical steps on how to build an Open Scholarship Community. I really appreciate that. We will now move on to our third presentation, which is going to be delivered by Lancaster University Libraries, Phil Cheeseman and Josh Sandel. Phil's leadership portfolio includes academic engagement and Lancaster Special Collections and Archives, while Josh heads up the library services for research, including Open Access, research data management and research intelligence. They're going to talk about making space for research. Now pass on to Phil and Josh. Well, hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us and thank you for the introduction, Masood. Library services for research at Lancaster have developed significantly over the last five or so years, becoming a core area of business. Although initially driven by compliance requirements, research services have extended to encompass a broader remit, and it's a key area of focus in our vision for the future. We have well-established services for open access publishing, research data management and research intelligence, which encompasses bibliometric citations analysis and altmetrics. And the university has invested significant resource in the library recognizing the value that we contribute and we develop new roles, new skills and new relationships both within and beyond the university. We're by no means alone in these developments and reports from RLUK and Libre, the Association of European Research Libraries, have highlighted the emerging role for libraries right across the sector in non-traditional areas of research support, including the digital humanities and digital scholarship more broadly. So are we ready to take on these roles? Well, to do so requires not just appropriate skillsets, but a reframing of traditional perceptions of what a library is and does. We need to understand and expand our role as a service provider, but also as a partner in the research process. We need to make space for research. In 2019, we formed the library's Digital Humanities Special Interest Group, which provides developmental and horizon scanning opportunities for our staff. And that initiative has brought the researcher voice into the library, engaging a diverse group of staff and creating partnership opportunities for the future. At an early session, Dr. Patty Marietta Flores introduced us to her digging into early colonial Mexico project. The highly interdisciplinary team combines different techniques, including corpus linguistics, text mining, natural language processing, machine learning and geographic information systems. And they use these techniques to perform a large-scale computational analysis of 16th century historical sources. We've also heard from libraries at San Diego State University and the University of California, who've shared their invaluable experience of establishing new services and partnerships. And alongside these events, we've been working on projects to develop our capability and activities associated with the Digital Humanities. So early projects, we undertook included digitizing and transcribing the Saturate Letter Books, which are three volumes held in the library, contain hundreds of letters written by an 18th century Lancastrian, that provide a rich insight into his life and business dealings in Lancaster and in the West Indies. In another project working in partnership with the History Department, we've created a digital collection of letters written by John Welcher, solicitor from Lancaster, who served in the King's Own Royal Regiment during the First World War. Now, these relatively modest projects have been undertaken with minimal additional resource, but have been invaluable for our staff in developing skills, gaining confidence, and building credibility in partnerships. They've provided some tangible benefits, including opportunities for placements for MA students and engagement with collections in teaching, curriculum design, and schools outreach. Smaller projects have in turn led to more significant developments, including a three-year AHRC-funded project to digitize an existing research collection held by the library. The collection documents the experiences of 1930 cinema goers and comprises recordings of interviews, memorabilia, and associative research outputs. The library has worked in partnership with the research team from the beginning, contributing to developing the funding application, recruiting RAs to the team and working alongside them throughout the project. It's been very much a shared opportunity, a shared journey and learning experience. We're now working with staff from the department of the English Literature and Creative Writing, who've begun another AHRC-funded project to digitize and transcribe all 75 of Humphrey Davies' notebooks. We're really excited about this project, not only because of its interdisciplinary theme, but also that it embraces open research practices, including citizen science using the Zooniverse platform to crowdsource transcriptions. Outputs from both these projects will be amongst the first collections to feature on our newly launched Lancaster Digital Collections platform. We're joining the University of Manchester in partnering with the University of Cambridge to further develop the platform they created. Establishing Lancaster Digital Collections has been core to the ambitions we have for our special collections, archives and research outputs. Its development also represents a true partnership between the library and academic staff. Most visible sign of the library's commitment to research, though, I guess, is the opening of an extension in April this year. A significant proportion of the ground floor will literally make space for research. The design of the space has been developed in partnership with researchers and has generated many ideas for future collaboration. The ground floor features digital scholarship and open research labs, a digital studio maker space and an exhibition and event space, as well as specialist facilities, including an ESRC-funded safe pod that provides secure access to research data sets. It will be a flexible space that can be reconfigured for different scenarios, activities and requirements and also be highly visible showcasing research activity as well as outputs. It will be a discipline-inclusive space providing somewhere to connect and collaborate, a place where library staff, researchers, students and our wider community can work together. Engaging with our researcher community is a joy. It's a joy and a shared passion and it's that passion tempered with practicality and playfulness that generates innovative ideas. At a recent Digital Humanities Forum, we discussed the range of activities listed in RLUK's Digital Scholarship Report. And this sparked an idea which has led to a pioneering project of ISS who are RIT services to render a skill search feature over our campus map to help colleagues make crucial connections with partners, augmenting or strengthening the overall skills profile that can be forged for a digital scholarship project. That example and our journey is emblematic of our vision for the future. And as we progress towards 2025, we will continue to be a library that is at the very heart of our university community locally and globally. We will position the library where there is no separation between digital or physical, inhabiting and engaging across both spaces, acting as a catalyst for initiatives across the institution. We'll engage in disruptive innovation, active in areas that are not traditionally seen as library business. Our experience then shines a radiant light upon the significant mutual benefits gained from reframing and investing in relationships between the library and our research community. Our experience was once a vision and a vision which seemed far off on the horizon. But in order to reach that horizon, you have to start your journey.  Our journey demonstrates how digital scholarship initiatives that build on existing special collections, emerging technologies and techniques enables a transition from service provider to partner to pioneer. So thank you for joining us. Thank you so much, Phil and Josh, and thank you for sharing this journey with us as well. I'm sure there will be lots of questions coming on your ambitions and how they've been made a reality. I'll now move on to our fourth presentation of the day, which is on the topic of digital transformations in research libraries, limitless opportunities or limiting challenges by Rossi Jelfs of Durham University. Rossi is the Information Services Manager at Durham University, careers and enterprise, looking after a range of resources and platforms that support students and graduates at all points in their career journey. Rossi is particularly interested in digital developments and the use of artificial intelligence in higher education. Welcome Rossi and over to you. Thank you, Masoud. So yes, hi, I'm Rossi Jelfs and I am the Information Services Manager at Durham University, careers and enterprise. I worked at Durham University Library for five years, where between my job and my LAS MSC, I started to be involved in digital development. And then 18 months ago, I moved to careers and enterprise to manage their specialist information service, where we're in the midst of implementing a long-term digital development strategy that did precede the pandemic, but of course, it's also been affected by it. Our service offers support to students at all stages of career planning and application, and we have a lifetime support offer to our graduates as well. So today I have for you some thoughts around digital transformations in libraries and the challenges and opportunities they present us with. This involves a lot of questions and I'll be really honest and say that I don't really have any answers to those questions. I first put the content for this presentation together in January, 2020, and I was trying to find ways to articulate that while I'm a huge proponent of digital services and technology and development and the benefits they bring, I think we need to be really conscious of the motives behind implementing digital developments and of the ways that they could reduce students' overall learning opportunities by just providing a digital shortcut. And then, well, we all know what happened this time last year, and libraries and other university services sprung into action coming up with fantastic, innovative ways to support students in an exclusively digital environment. Not doing so would, of course, have been devastating for students. But even though the pandemic has forced us into digital overdrive and to develop in ways some never thought possible, I think these questions still bear thinking about for the longer term. As we transition to the new normal, we'll have big decisions to make about what digital changes we keep and what we relegate to a pandemic service necessity. University libraries are a vital part of producing well-rounded graduates able to be positive contributors to society. But what does this really mean? We have increasingly diverse and digitally dependent student bodies and digital developments generally help us support them better. But there are also questions in my mind about the impact digital transformations across an institution have on the education that we're providing. These questions relate particularly to aspects of service that have become self-service, become automated or where users interact with a screen rather than face-to-face. Are we increasing user independence, reducing soft skills development or a bit of both? And how do we balance what we're adding and taking away? One of my colleagues recently conducted a survey with graduate employers that our service works with and asked them to rate different capabilities and skills according to the importance of prospective graduate employees having them. Communication and teamwork were top. And I don't think this will be a surprise to anyone really, but I think it's worth noting as graduates are still expected to have developed these skills despite being in an environment that is increasingly lacking in face-to-face contact and the traditional methods for gaining these skills. Of course, an indisputable positive impact of a move towards digital services is that they generally improve access for users who might otherwise find making the most of library services challenging, whether that's due to a disability, their location or any other factor. Balancing inclusivity and enabling students with encouraging independence is really important. Digital services allow us to help users wherever they are, support those with additional needs to our highest standard and be more flexible toward everyone's individual interaction preferences. However, this surely affects the way users perceive staff and how staff perceive students. How might users interacting with a screen rather than a person affect their perception of library staff? Digital does not necessarily equal available 24 seven, but it can create the expectation that services do operate that way, especially now when so many people are working remotely. How do we manage the expectations of a generation who can simply swipe left? On the flip side, how do digital developments impact staff perceptions of users? In general, it's much easier to be vocally negative or positive by digital media, as well as the increased risk of misinterpretation without the social aids of tone of voice and body language. Does this worsen the perception of staff who monitor those channels or is there more opportunity for positive feedback? Our inquiry staff have definitely noticed a significant increase recently in appreciative emails from students who have emailed asking for help, and this used to be a bit of a rarity. Whether they are more grateful for any help at all in these uncertain times or whether this is a digital behavior change, I'm not sure, but it certainly makes my team smile and that's always a good thing. I think approachability is a priority for a lot of libraries to give users the confidence that they can come and ask for help, and often this is used in reference to staff, but it doesn't just apply to them. We need all of our services to be approachable and not intimidating, so users can take full advantage of them. How do we make a virtual service approachable to all with the range of technical abilities an average student body has? It's a stereotype that today's students are all completely comfortable navigating the digital landscape. Like any skill, there is a range of abilities including those who, for whatever reason, would prefer to engage with technology as little as possible. While digital capabilities are a requirement of today's world, we can't assume that all of today's students can intuitively navigate anything we put in front of them, or we risk alienating a proportion of students who arguably need us the most. Nobody likes to admit their perceived weaknesses, and we need to provide opportunities for everyone to engage in ways that don't draw public attention to what they feel they can't do. And with digital transformation being a generally expensive process, it's important to question the motives behind developments, pandemic aside, of course. Are they necessary to genuinely improve the user experience of the service and how do they impact skill development? An example of this might be the many potential users of drones. How about an army of intelligent book delivery drones? Users could order a book from the fourth floor while sitting at a desk on the first, saving them the effort of having to look up the shelf mark and browse the shelves. And while they're at it, the drones could be policing study areas for noise in the silent area or food in a non-food area. This is a librarian drone after all. Taking away the need for users to self-police and talk to their peers. What about an Amazon Prime Air style delivery system for users anywhere on campus who need the information right now? Or better yet, how about anywhere in a specified radius? Why not let a user have a book delivered to them at the top of a touchscreen without them even having to get out of bed? Now, I don't know about anyone else. Right now, I would love to be able to do book deliveries by drone. They'd protect my team and the borrower as well as me and the borrower doesn't have to come onto campus. But in a post pandemic world, I don't think it is a bad thing for someone wanting a print book to navigate a library and find what they need if they're able to in terms of information literacy and basic navigational skills. So much of our culture now has become about instant gratification, being able to order something online for next day delivery. And this can create a skewed view of the world that everything in life is as easy as clicking a button. Are we setting students up for failure if we buy into this model? Of course, digital literacy and skills are an important part of the university education. So need to be embedded, not just in the curriculum but also in how students interact with other services. Going back to the employer survey I mentioned before, employers were also asked to rate individual aspects of digital capabilities and information literacy ranked third out of these overall. With 71% of employers expecting graduates to have that capability. Only digital etiquette and proficiency with Microsoft Office ranked higher. Among the technology and small and medium employers survey are ranked second with only digital etiquette being more important. So information literacy is not only a skill vital to completing a degree but it's also a skill graduates need in order to secure employment. And of course another very important benefit of digital transformation is that one done well it allows us to make the most of both our human centred services and technology providing a seamless, enhanced and user centred service. Of course, we could take the attitude of does any of this matter? The number of graduate jobs that require remote working is increasing as well as the requirement to work with screens and apps rather than with people. So do we need to worry about graduates being emotionally intelligent and able to have difficult conversations face to face? As I've already discussed employers still expect these skills. So yes, it does matter. And by the way, I've not even touched on the subject of user one versus user need but that's for another day. So I've asked a lot of questions. I've given you no answers and I'm not even sure to be honest exactly what I think about some of these things but hopefully provoked some thoughts about how we need to balance digital transformation with the needs of today's users and tomorrow's graduates. Thank you. Thank you so much, Royce. It sparked lots of food for thought, I'm sure for many of the audience members here as well. I'll now move on to our fifth presentation and our last presentation of the day which is on the bell of the session to be fair which is on the topic of OAPN and the University of Glasgow by Valerie McCutcheon, the research information manager at the University of Glasgow and Tom Mostard, community manager, director of open access books and OAPN. Two organizations that are dedicated to open access peer reviewed books. I'm not sure whether I've done any justice to how to pronounce OAPN but I will hand over to both Tom and Valerie to correct me on that. Over to you. Thank you, Mr. It very much for that introduction to our short and overview of the open access books toolkit. Before we jump in, can I just double check, Mr. Can you hear us okay? Yes. Thank you. So first of all, why do we need a toolkit? So like many of you, my role's about providing support for researchers to make their research outputs open access. So over the last year or so, a collaboration of publishers, funders, research organizations and more have worked together to deliver this free and stakeholder agnostic open access books toolkit. The aim of the toolkit is to help authors to understand open access to books and to provide them with some practical support in getting published. So like many of your organizations, open access is included as good research practice in our guidance and policies. And like many of your organizations, the University of Glasgow's approach is that outputs should be made open access wherever possible. Now, of course, some funders mandate open access to books, notably Welcome Trust. And of course, UK research and innovation and future research excellence framework exercise are considering open access to books. As well as that, authors often ask us, for example, via our central open access mailbox about making books open access. We feel quite sad because we've got very little to offer them in terms of advice or funding. And we struggle to find ways in particular to support arts researchers where books are more prevalent. This is Faye. Faye is an author and director of our arts lab in Glasgow and Faye has helped us with input to and the advertising of the open access books toolkit at Glasgow. So the history is that I've run a few workshops over the years at the Researcher to Reader, R2R conference around research information standards and open access. So in 2019, along with my friends from Springer Nature, we chose to run a workshop looking at the specific challenges associated with open access to books. The discussion showed there was clearly a demand for support and education on the options available to authors. So we approached OAPEN as a possible stakeholder agnostic home for a toolkit and we were delighted when they agreed to work with us on this. There's an editorial advisory board with different stakeholders from publishers, research organisations and funders represented. And it really makes me very happy to say the experience has been very positive. The guidance was drafted collaboratively. Feedback in each article was taken on with the aim of ensuring impartiality. And now we have a lovely toolkit for the authors and for those whose job like us is to support them and I'm a bit less sad about lacking support for them. So with that, I'll hand over to Tom who'll give you a short delve into the toolkit and let you know how you can become involved. Thank you very much, Valerie. And as Valerie mentioned, once approached and having learned more about the original idea, we at OAPEN were very excited and grateful to be approached as a potential host for the toolkit. While we founded a well thought through idea and were keen to get involved, there's also been taking into account different perspectives from various stakeholders involved with open access book publishing, which was not a small challenge to say the least. Keeping the authors as the main audience and the need for a stakeholder agnostic resource in mind, how could we move from the concept to a practical toolkit? And thanks to the support of research consulting, we were able to put together a precise product specification for this toolkit. And from here it became increasingly clear that if we were to create this toolkit, it would need to be created in cooperation with the main stakeholders, moving beyond the governance structure, while also serving as a signposting tool. As mentioned earlier, the toolkit would be governed by a large editorial advisory board. The editorial advisory board was also invited to participate in the actual creation of the toolkit, writing some of the articles through a body system, being involved in product decisions and making suggestions for future development after the toolkit launch. While these were all voluntary efforts, nearly all of the board members chose to take part in the creation process to some extent, which we believe has been essential really for creating a toolkit useful for authors. Having shared some of the motivations for creating the toolkit and what it aims to achieve, we'd now like to briefly walk you through the toolkit site for a first impression and to show some of its contents and features. The Open Access Books toolkit is publicly available on its own website, oebooks-toolkit.org. And when visiting the site, you'll start your journey on the homepage here, where you can see a menu bar and introduction on the toolkit and its aims for authors and a number of buttons that one can pick from to start navigating the toolkit. The four buttons at the top right of the screen, Lifecycle, FAQ, Keywords, and Glossary can all be used to find your way around the toolkit depending on what you're looking for. And as shown in the previous slide, a user can make use of several navigation approaches to go through the toolkit. The first being a typical research lifecycle for books, where the research lifecycle is broken down into eight stages, as you can see on the right. The research lifecycle allows researchers to quickly find the information within the toolkit, which could be relevant to them, depending on where they currently are in the research lifecycle. A researcher could, for instance, click on the right and submit manuscript stage to find relevant articles to consider for this phase, such as finding a publisher or what kind of services he or she may expect from this publisher. Secondly, the frequently asked questions or FAQs provide readers with a short and concise answer to their question. And in addition to this, link out to other toolkit articles or trusted sources on the web that provide further information on the topic for users who want to find out more and go further. The third option you can see listed here is the Glossary. As many of you will know, Open Access and Open Access Book Publishing specifically makes use of various terms that might be new for researchers and sometimes cause confusion. And lastly, users can make of a keyword index to search for articles and information on certain key terms, such as licensing, funding or marketing, and access all the articles within the toolkit, including these keywords. The toolkit also serves as a signposting tool. All toolkit articles are of a short and concise nature. Bearing in mind ease of use for the user and for users that want to learn more about a specific topic, however, such as in this case here, how Open Access Books are disseminated and made discoverable. Each article will provide a added list of source acknowledgments, references, and further readings, each of which link out to existing information and resources available elsewhere. While the toolkit is written to, oh, sorry, the various navigation options help users quickly to quickly find what they are looking for in the toolkit. And the toolkit includes over 30 short articles which have been deliberately kept short and concise in length, allowing users to quickly move from article to article or to just find what they are looking for within a minute or two. Topics discussed throughout the toolkit include what is Open Access, a misbusting article on common myths about Open Access, and an article on contracting and copyright rights. As you can see here, each article follows a clear structure, allowing users to easily read or skim through the article. And while the toolkit is written to support authors interested in publishing their books Open Access, the toolkit also touches upon the different stakeholders and their role in the OA Books landscape and how they support authors in publishing Open Access books. The toolkit, for instance, includes articles on funders and Open Access books, the eligibility criteria for grant applications, as well as an overview of funders that provide funding for publishing an Open Access book. The toolkit also provides guidance on the role of research institutions, including libraries, and the role that they may play in enabling Open Access book publishing and supporting their offers. As can be expected, a number of articles are included on the role of OA Book publishers, how authors can find a suitable publisher for their manuscript, and what type of services they offer and how they may be able to help further disseminate and market your book when it's available Open Access. It's been about half a year since the OA Books toolkit has been introduced. So before I close off, I'd like to briefly share a bit more about how the toolkit has been received by the community. To date, we have received lots of positive and also constructive feedback from authors, librarians, research support staff and publishers who have picked up on this new toolkit and how it can be of use to them, showing two examples here. The first in the yellow box of a toolkit tester and author in the arts, appreciative of the clear guidance and supporting role the toolkit can play for authors and editors at all stages of their academic career. And the second of a librarian who has incorporated the toolkit into the local library guide. In terms of usage, the toolkit website has seen over 20,000 unique page views ever since it has been introduced. And we have seen the toolkit being used in over 140 countries so far, where most users come from the US, followed by the UK. And while the Awaitment Toolkit has its own website, we also very much encourage other organizations, such as libraries and publishers, to incorporate the toolkit for some of its relevant aspects into their local resources. Very helpful. And here we see a few examples of libraries who have done so already. Finally, now that the toolkit is live, I'd like to emphasize it will be regularly updated and maintained by the global and multi-stakeholder editorial advisory board. Future developments can be expected in terms of new articles and technical features based on user feedback. So thanks very much for taking interest in the Awaitment Toolkit. And we look forward to hearing your initial thoughts and questions either here or via the link provided at the final slide. Thank you very much, Valerie and Tom, for a fantastic presentation, particularly the different entry routes of how people can enter this discussion through the whole research lifecycle as well. I think that's absolutely brilliant. And I'm sure lots of libraries will be looking at this if they haven't already done so. So thank you very much. May I now invite the members of the panel to start their webcams and we can now go into the joint question and answer session, what a fascinating series of talks. And thank you so much for taking us in this journey from global partnerships to open scholarship communities to open research and both digitally and physically building digital scholarship capabilities as well as open access publishing as well as digital transformation and its impact on not just what it means for student experience but also what it means for student employment and their capabilities in the long run. Absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed this session. I appreciate that we are running short in time but if it's okay with all of you and particularly with the audience I think we ought to run over because there's a fascinating series of questions that have come through that we should tackle. So I'm going to pick up on the first question which is about the open access community open scholarship communities. I think particularly this one is for Hardy I assume from the question which is that the community you were talking about in Galway Hardy was about open education as well as research and involved students as well as academics. And the question is, can you say a bit more about any impact that that's had for the student experience? Yeah, so I have to say that at the beginning we actually, so our first members were mainly academic staff and open, well enthusiasts but also experts. I think there is a hurdle or a little barrier for students to join because they think you have to be an expert to join and but that is obviously not the case. We want to encourage students who identify with who see the benefits of working openly but also who support the values that underpin the whole open idea. And the way to do this also going forward is to make our community a more social experience. So I actually saw a comment on Twitter where someone said, oh, this community actually sounds like fun, it's not another committee. And I think this goes to the very heart of the experience which is relevant for students, obviously not only for students to make this an inclusive community where you can learn. So it's a learning community, a sharing community but also a community where you can connect with light-minded students and staff. Thank you very much, Hadi. I'll pick up on another question which is, I assume for Phil and Josh, which is during the presentation you mentioned that you positioned the library where there's no separation between physical and digital. Can you elaborate a bit more on that and what it means for the future of services on digital scholarship? I'll pick it up first, maybe Josh may be coming. I guess for us, it's acknowledging that whilst we're all kind of living a blended life and experiencing digital and physical together, there's still very much a sense that digital in libraries is either a threat or a compromise or something that's in a particular niche. And it's really a desire and a vision to bring those two together so that there isn't a separation. And what that means practically, I guess, is making sure that when people are in our physical library building that they're fully immersed in the digital aspects of that and gaining value from that as well. But equally, in terms of being inclusive to our wider communities, the things that we're doing in the practical or the physical domain are extended out and not just through making recordings of events or really engaging so that you connect across the two. I don't think we've got the answers to all of those, but I think those are our ambitions and that's what we'd like to see happening. Josh, don't know. Yeah, now I've got some thoughts. I think almost building on what Hardy said, it's also about engaging with our communities across both spaces, the digital and the physical. I've always been taken by the work of our David Lank, so I think he's at the University of South Carolina now and he frames libraries as natural matchmakers and I think that's absolutely true. We're adept at bringing people together, we're good at connecting people. So we've got to do that within in-person settings but also within digital environments. Lank has to have strong digital foundations going into the pandemic and the pivot to online forced us to build on those foundations and it didn't take us long to start bringing people together within online environments, for example through our staff development groups, mid-day seminar series or data conversations but we've worked really hard to emulate those serendipitous encounters online too, for example, through our coffee roulette events where staff from across the library join a team session with a brew before being randomly assigned to a breakout room where they can catch up with people that they might not interact with online through their day-to-day activities. So as I say, irrespective of whether we're operating in the physical space or within the digital space we'll continue to be a thriving dynamic and people focused library that brings our communities together to co-create and share knowledge that leads to greater understanding, insight and innovation. It comes back to that joy, it comes back to people and it always comes back to our community. Thank you, Phil and Josh and what a good point to make that innovation and fun are quite strongly aligned with each other. I think the next question is for Rosy and Rosy, there's a question about the impact of digital developments and the positive impact it can have on student experience and student satisfaction and quite also the challenges that you are highlighting that if all of the focus is there then you're not developing these students more social skills or more soft skills. Where do you think the balance lies because there are always limited resources and how do we balance that in this age and world? That's an excellent question, Rosy. I'm not sure exactly where we, I think totally depends on the situation where we find the balance. I think student satisfaction is obviously very important and SS scores are hugely important but I think we just need to be considering where we're putting a development in. If it might have a negative impact in one area it might have a massive positive impact elsewhere and it's just that we need to be aware and see if we can mitigate the negative aspect of it. So for example, in the keynote yesterday Keras was talking about how in recruitment nowadays it's quite common for applicant tracking systems to be used using artificial intelligence to scan vast numbers of job applications. So now a lot of careers centres are investing in is platforms that allow students to mimic that experience so a student can put their CV in through a system for review and not only do they get feedback but they're being looked at by similar algorithms to what they'd experienced in recruitment. It also means though, there's also an element of CV building that you can have on these platforms and it does mean that the student doesn't have to learn as much about how to do a good CV. It means that they're not having to work as hard to get a good CV for recruitment but so they sort of, you could argue they're losing some of the learning opportunity there but the bonus of it is that it's giving them the opportunity to practice with a real life kind of system that's gonna give them the same feedback as you would in the recruitment experience and also it means that if they do then have an appointment with a careers advisor that they can have a real qualitative conversation rather than the careers advisor just correcting the typos because at the moment that's what a lot of the time is spent with careers advisors is correcting things that that system could do for them. Absolutely. And raises some very interesting points in the future about what does it mean to be authentic in the way you deliver things when everything is being driven towards systems as well. Really, really good points, Rosy. A particular question about Global Partnership Alan and particularly on what were some of the key lessons you learned during your own experience and what would be your message to others who want to establish a similar partnership? How should they get on with this process as well? Thanks, Masood. I really think finding those partners within your institution in the first instance I think was absolutely the most precious thing where there's a real experience. I mean, we always have a tendency in libraries to kind of go, oh, yeah, we can do that. And that's not necessarily a good plan. Other people have enormous expertise and we should lean on those people. So I'd say that was a huge part of it. I think the other thing is that some people are interested and there are opportunities there and you don't hear about them unless you actually are out and actively involved in those things. So I think the more we can be active presences in our institutions, the better chance we have of actually having those knocks on the door and making those connections. Thank you, Alan. I hope you and the audience can indulge us for a few more minutes because stream of questions are still coming through. So it's hugely, hugely appreciated. There's a question for Tom and Valerie which is about any granular analytics, are there any granular analytics that are produced by the OAPN tool and particularly to suggest areas of greater interest to researchers? Shall I answer the question Valerie and you can jump in perhaps. So I didn't include it in this presentation but we did take a look at this at more granular level and it's a bit early because it has only been launched six months ago but we did, I think, see two things in terms when we looked at the most frequently visited articles which included articles on business models for open access books and a list of funding sources for open access books. So trying to understand, to learn more about how to publish a book open access and not just look at the funding opportunities but also different business models that are out there for which funding is not directly required. And secondly, there's quite some interest in the article on comparing open access books to open access journals, how do they differ and also the article on common myths about open access. So the myth-busting article along with the article explaining more introductory article on what is open access more generally. I think those are two trends that we have seen in the usage so far. Valerie, do you have anything to add to that or anything on how successful it's been at Glasgow? No, I don't think so. We're really looking forward to hearing feedback from other sites though. So hope to hear from some of the people maybe that are on the call today. That sounds great and sounds like a great invitation for others to speak with Valerie afterwards as well. A couple of more questions and I'm very of time but I think it's really, really good that we can pick on these. I think this is probably for Hardy, Josh and Phil which is about what changes to roles or structures do you see developing from your open scholarship and research engagements that are happening in your own respective institutions at the moment. So if I invite Phil and Josh to go first and then Hardy, that would be really beneficial. Thank you. I think, yeah, happy to pick up. So thinking around digital scholarship here rather than open research for the moment although of course it's an intersection. I think partly this process is about recognising the skill sets capabilities and strengths that exist already within academic libraries, metadata curation, collections management, TEI, XML, you know, there are skill sets that we have that we can leverage and we can call on. That's not to say that there aren't opportunities to build skill sets and support colleagues to engage in relevant staff development opportunities. I think I'd also say I'm a big fan of Colb's work on experiential learning. I think it's really easy to spend a long time in the abstract conceptualisation phase of the experiential process. And that's a long-hand way of saying that sometimes it's about getting stuck in and learning on the job and you also have the opportunity then when you're working alongside academic colleagues to benefit from their knowledge and experience. And in that way, you can build on the concrete experience and refine that iterative process that ultimately leads to library and information professionals being upskilled and qualified in new areas and building on their existing strengths to deliver those digital scholarship projects. So those are some observations for Mia. Don't know if you want to add anything, Phil? Just a quick point really that I think builds on what both you and Hardy have said, that I don't think that we anticipate that all of these skills will be developed or held within the library and it's very much about community and blurring the edges between the work that the library does and that our academic colleagues do and doing that work together. So we develop those roles and structures almost by removing some of the structure that exists between us so that we have people working alongside us day-to-day and that provides the opportunity for that experiential learning that's certainly the benefits we've seen today. Yeah, so you're on mute. But maybe I'll just add that I think all academic libraries, at least the more research-intensive ones, should have an open scholarship librarian. Now, it doesn't have to be the job title open scholarship librarian, but it should be someone who oversees all the open practices because I think there is a danger of working in silos. So I think someone committed to overlooking and supporting that on a broader spectrum is important. Just one word to our communities. So I think each community has a, it's called coordinator. Now, this could be a librarian, but I know a lot of the Dutch communities actually, it's someone in the research office. Again, this is where the blurred roles come in again. At the end of the day, I'm not sure it's that important where they sit, but we need that capacity and it will grow. Just, you know, what you trust have now, I think they're close to 400 members. So they really need someone looking after that community. We're not on that scale, but once you think about where this might go, you do have to think about building capacity. Thank you, Adi, and thank you for lip-reading what I was saying as well. I think I'll take one last question and then we have to conclude this session but Rosie, I think this one is for you again, which firstly, many congratulations people are really saying, thank you for your presentation as well. And one question is, how wide do you think the concerns you've shared resonate across the institution, and particularly do they resonate within the academic library community? Yeah, thank you for that really positive feedback. I think so, yes. I think it's probably really important for me to acknowledge that the service that I work in at the moment is tiny compared to most academic libraries and we have kind of fewer plates to balance as it were. And I think a really important part that I didn't really touch on in my presentation is that obviously staff time is kind of how we use our and how our human resource is used is a really important factor as well. So in many cases, digital developments can help us kind of use our staff time more qualitatively rather than dealing with things that a machine, if one of the better words, can deal with. So I think they are shared, but I also think that there's so many different factors that lead into these decisions that again, it's very difficult to balance them all.


The next Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Terrorids spotlight event has been announced. We're going to cover all of the details in today's video. But before we get into the video, please subscribe to the channel. Remember, you can always unsubscribe later if you would like to. So as the Greninja 7 star event come to an end yesterday evening, Sunday night, we have had the announcement of a brand new spotlight terror, which will be happening this week, starting on the 3rd of February. We can cover all the details and it looks like it's going to be quite a good one.  I've had the Salamence, the Hydraigan when we've recently had the misdreavus and the Driftblim spotlight terror events. And this week, starting on the 3rd, like I've mentioned, it will be featuring Armour Rouge and Cerulej, the exclusive Pokemon to both Scarlet and Violet. As you can see, during the period from February the 3rd, which will be the Friday running through to February the 6th, it'll actually be on the Sunday evening, like most of the terror events finish, which will be Sunday the 5th at midnight when it finishes. It seems to be easier to meet Glenn Alama, which is Armour Rouge in Pokemon Scarlet and then Saw Blaze, which is Cerulej in Pokemon Violet. So we're not going to get any crossovers of exclusives. They're staying in their respective games. Obviously, Armour Rouge is an exclusive for Pokemon Scarlet and Cerulej is an exclusive for Pokemon Violet. So they will be staying in their games, although you will be able to go online and access the alternative version exclusive from other players hosting it online. So you'll be able to get both of these Pokemon or if you have friends and things like that, you'll be able to enter their raids that way. But online, you'll be able to get both of these Pokemon. It does go on to say there are various terror types for both of these Pokemon, so they're not going to have any tied terror types to them. Unlike the seven star raids, you're going to be able to get them in all different terror types, which is quite good, especially for competitive play, it makes it a little bit easier so you're not having to collect all of those terror shots to change their terror types when you've evolved them in your games. Like I say, the period is going to be running from February the third until February the sixth, which will actually be February the fifth at midnight before it ticks over to midnight. And a few more details, they'll both be four and five star terror raids and they'll only appear in their respective copies of the game. Like it says here, that Armour Rouge will only appear in Pokemon Scarlet and then Cerulej will only appear in Pokemon Violet. Then it goes on to say the terror event will change depending on the time zone that you're in. So obviously, like we've mentioned before, it does say February the sixth here, but it will be ending on February the fifth at midnight UTC like they normally do. So just bear that in mind, it will not be rolling over. But if you don't go online after the Sunday anyway, you're going to keep the terror event in your game. And then it just goes on to say how you can access it in your game. And you've got to have a subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online, which we kind of know about already. That is all the information and this is the stopgap between now and the next time the Greninja seven star raid will be returning, which will be on the 10th of February. So that is going to be the next seven star event. Again, we've just had it this past weekend. Greninja will be returned on the 10th of February, but in between that, we are going to see Cerulej and Armour Rouge appearing in our games. We'll of course be covering all of the details here on the channel when the event does go live this week. If you would like to see some builds or best builds going in and beating the spotlight terror events, obviously these two Pokemon both have flash fires. So some of their terror types can be a bit tricky to beat. I will be happy to put a video out later this week covering a bunch of options for you to make it a little bit easier. But let me know down in the comment section below if you'd like to see that video. And just wrapping things up today, there was a little bit of extra news. I'm going to tag on the end of this, which gives a bit of information about when to expect Pokemon Home. We did get an update from Cerebi late last night saying that Home will undergo maintenance on February the 1st from 1 to 6 UTC. After this, the mobile version will update to 2.1.0 to add new features to display rank battle data for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. So we are getting closer to the integrations from Pokemon Home to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are beginning and as expected, around Pokemon Day is when we think the integration completely with Scarlet and Violet will happen, meaning we're going to get all those Hesui Pokemon across as well as the other Pokemon that aren't available in the Paldeir decks, which is very, very exciting. So that wraps up everything for today's video. We have a brand new spotlight event happening later this week. I'm excited for this one. Let me know your thoughts down below. I'd love to hear how are you excited for Armourooge and Serellege coming to this spotlight terrarium. I think it's a really nice one, actually. I like both of these Pokemon, so it's going to be an opportunity to get a bunch of them with different stereotypes for competitive play and other things like that. Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great rest of your day and I will catch you all in another video very soon. If you have, drop a like. Do sub if you're new to the channel, all that good stuff, and I will see you all in another video very soon. So until then, friends, take care of yourselves and bye-bye.


We have made yet another upgrade to our team. Yo, what's going on Leaf Nation? It's Ali for back again and welcome back to the channel. Today we're doing another debut video and it's for a pretty big card. So as you can see here, this is me making this 88 victor headman we traded in, I believe 70 gold players to get this 88 headman and do look at this. We had a choice between headman and Rask and we obviously chose headman because I mean how could you not look at this card? Looking at our team here, the forwards are all the same with Matthews, Panarin, Malkin, Hall, Shifley. We did upgrade Eichel to an 86. We bought his base not too long ago. We got Wheeler, Barkov, Khadri and then Nylanders have been a Jed, Dvorak. We also just got Wheeler. Same synergies are activated but looking at this headman, he's playing top line minutes with Adam Fox and then we got Seth Jones with Thomas Shabbat and then Yakup Slave and Tyson Berry. But looking at this victor headman man, he has a synergy that I need magician that was a huge part of getting him but like in all honesty, Carter is beautiful, stats are insane. Not the fastest guy but he's a big guy. Like good luck knocking the sky off of the puck. I'm very excited to try him out. Now looking at our abilities, we do have quick pick activated for headman which is advanced at intercepting pucks. Also increases a player's range when intercepting pucks which is huge. We could get Heatseeker which is advanced power when taking wrist shot or snapshots from a long distance but for now we're just gonna leave it at that. We don't really have the ability points for that. So without further delay, let's head into a rivals game and test out Victor Headman for the first time. Now I know my last debut video didn't really go too well with the Matthews. We ended up losing 2-1. Don't get me wrong, Matthews was great. He is great. I'm loving that card. I'm hoping to have a better debut with the headman here. Maybe get him a couple goals, a couple points. It would be great. So let's see what we can do with Victor Headman. All right, we found our first game against Baconator. He's got the Brinkab, Matthews and 89 McDavid. This shall be interesting. Leaf Fan against Leaf Fan though. So let's have a good game against each other, brother. No toxicity. Good hit from Panarin. Oh, we did get Panarin. He is new. We pulled him in a pack opening that you guys saw not too long ago. So this is actually his debut as well. I'm very excited for that. Victor Headman with the puck and all right, Malcolm got in the way of that. Let's try that again. Round two for Victor Headman. Bang. Nope. I really wish Malcolm didn't block that shot because it would have been nice to see that go on net. Victor Headman's not allowing that great defensive play from him. Oh, Victor Headman's a beast. I know it was ADB, but Victor Headman's a beast. Good hit. There you go. Victor Headman reading plays already. We love that. Good LT. Over to Matthews. Oh, that could have been really nice. Headman would have got a point on that too. Beautiful play. And he quit. I'm not sure why. Let's head into another game. All right. Take two here. We're going to gain soul view. He's got Axan Oshi and Petrangelo. Let's hope that he doesn't quit and have a good debut. All right. Here we go. I don't want to force Headman too much, but I do want to see what he can do. At the start of that game, he was great defensively knocking people off the puck as he does. Like with how big he is. Pause. Oh, Artemis Panera is off to the races. Fade on mistake. I see you Victor. All right. Matthews. That was a good effort. Beautiful LT. Beautiful pass. Oh, that could have been nice. Victor Headman. Great. Oh, that got through Adam Fox. Oh, no. Not a good first share from Victor Headman. He couldn't bump whoever that was. He couldn't bump Max Domi off of the puck, which is really interesting. Bad defense from me on the two on one. 100%. It is what it is. We'll get it back. Thomas Shabbat over to Jack Eichel. Nice little LT. Another LT. Beautiful move. Across. Where is this puck? I don't know how it hasn't ended up in the back of the net there. There you go. Over to Thomas Shabbat. Man, I really love this team of the week Shabbat. Dude, he has actually an unreal shot. Or just lay an absolute huge hit and we're fighting for some reason because this game is great with initiating fights. All right. Well, Victor Headman's a fighter. That's for sure. Let's see. Oh, okay. He's not a fighter. I repeat, he is not a fighter. That was one of the worst fights I've ever seen.  I guess it is what it is. But now we're without Headman for five minutes in game. I'll be honest, not a good first period. It was pretty even.  Let's see how he does in the next two periods. We need something big from him. Oh, Victor Headman. That was an elite pickup. Austin, off to the races here. Little saucer past a Gino. He couldn't hold it though. Over to Headman. Victor Headman.  I literally can't do anything with him. Go, hall. That's definitely a trip. Thank you. Thomas Shabbat. All right. We get a power play. Victor Headman's out on the power play. I have a feeling he's gonna get a point on this power play goal because we're scoring one here. There you go, Panarin. Over to Headman. Bang. Dude, he's actually like everything I'm trying to do with Headman, it's getting blocked.  Victor Headman. Oh my God, so close. Now he's caught. Get back, Headman. Over to Dvorak and Christian Dvorak gets us a goal. We were fighting for that goal. I was so silent because this has actually been such a sweaty game. Christian Dvorak from Jakob Slave and Amika Zabinajad. Good fourth line shift. Things you'll love to see. Looking at the stats after two, I mean, I feel like we are playing better. I literally cannot score this year. It's insane. I think I'm a little too in my head when it comes to scoring goals, man. Cause I don't know, man. There's no way I'm this bad at scoring goals. It's definitely possible, actually. Let's go, Victor. Victor Headman to Matthews.  That's still got to him somehow. Headman with the puck. Take a little shot. Maybe get a little rebound. Nothing going there though. But good, good rush from Victor Headman. Things you'll love to see. Again, Victor Headman's not allowing that. Stop trying to fight Headman. Oh, he got me heated. I swore, I swore. He got me heated. My God, I just want to use this Victor Headman. Stop fighting him.  Just let me use my card. I'm trying to debut him. Like, and I swore again, dude. I'm so sorry. Taylor Hall, there you go. Go, go, go. Go fight my Victor Headman again, please. Two, one. God, my goodness. I'm so heated. I just want to use Victor Headman. I want Victor Headman. 51 seconds, get Victor Headman. How, okay, I'm taking, yeah, okay, please. Take a time out. I need it, I need it. I want Victor Headman in for this last final minute because I feel like we barely used him because of these two fights.   No, he isn't. All right, Headman and Malcolm are just playing with each other there. Pause. Victor Headman. Over to Panarin and there it is. Late kick that hurt. I pulled, oh, I pulled the muscle. I definitely pulled the muscle. But hey, Victor Headman, final minute.  And that's game. We take a 3-1 win. Headman isn't the greatest fighter. We can all agree on that. But he played great defensively. He had a couple good, you know, pickups using his ability there, which I did find out. Huge hits, he can lay the body and he's like super hard to knock off the puck, which is obviously always great. We got a message, which is great. Trash can. GG. So I'm gonna send. So that's my first message of 22. I get trash can. I'm a trash can, I guess. What can I say? Anyways, looking at the stats here. 14 shots to his 10. 7-10 to his 6-08 time on attack. This kid was a good player. He didn't have the greatest team. He did stick with me, which is huge. I just suck. Looking at our stats here. Taylor Hall had an obviously great game. He's actually such a good card, man. If you guys are looking for a decent winger, definitely go for Taylor Hall. But the man we were looking for, Victor Headman. Two shots on goal, apparently. I don't remember. I only remember taking one shot with him. He did end up getting an assist there in the final minute after taking a second fighting major because this guy wanted to initiate fights. But he did get one assist. 27-30 of time played, which is actually a lot considering he had two fighting majors, which is insane. He had 12 minutes of penalties because he did take a charging call early in the first period, so he got a fighting major and a penalty. But this card is absolutely insane. Like I said, he has an unreal slap shot when he does and is able to take it. His superstar ability is actually very good with intercepting pucks, which I really do like. Big body, hard to take him off the puck. Huge header, things you'll have to see. I definitely think this card is worth making. Anyways guys, that's going to be it for today's video.
