1. The document discusses an open data project involving Jisc, Universities UK, and the Open Data Institute to make university reading lists openly available. 2. The project aims to collaborate across universities to publish reading list data in order to power applications like a book recommendation app and identify popular texts for potential deals. 3. Next steps could include using the consolidated open reading list data to recommend new texts, identify books to remove from lists, and monitor adoption of open textbooks between institutions. Barriers to sharing may include lack of common data standards.

3. What’s next?
Some potential uses of open reading list data
› Identify in demand texts for national deals
– Requires common standard(s) for data harvesting & probably
some data normalisation too
› Monitor take up of / opportunities for open textbooks
› Discover potential new texts for your own reading
lists from equivalent courses elsewhere
› Head’s up re books that could be weeded out

Other than supporting students in their studies, what
use is a reading list? Discuss!
› What does/can the Library do with it?
› What does/can the academic departments do with it?
› What does/can the institution (as a whole) do with it?
› What more could you do if you had access to reading
list data from other institutions?
› What are the barriers (if any) that would prevent your
institution from sharing list reading list data?

That’s all folks…

This is my presentation on "Rebooting" Jisc, from the EUNIS 2014 Congress at Umeå, Sweden. I begin by introducing Jisc, for anyone not already familiar with who we are and what we do. I highlight a few of our success stories that the EUNIS audience might not be familiar with, talk about some current projects - and how our focus and structure has changed following the Wilson Review. I close with our mission statement and vision for 2020.

Janet is one of the world’s most advanced networks built to support research and education across the UK, and through participation in GÉANT provides global reach, supporting key activities such as transnational education and access to global research facilities. The latest version of the network – Janet6 – came into operation in November 2013. This talk will take a look at user requirements and how these are shaping the continued evolution of Janet to ensure that a flexible, reliable and secure network service is provided.

Slides from my panel session at Science & Innovation 2015 with STFC DiRAC, HPC Midlands, Francis Crick Institute and UCL. As we move into the expected post-election comprehensive spending review, it is a good time to take stock of some of the innovations that have helped the UK’s institutions and industry to work together to accelerate innovation whilst achieving operating efficiencies over the last few years. In this session we hear about trend setting initiatives such as Jisc’s shared data centre and equipment sharing initiative, which makes over £200m of capital equipment available for sharing between institutions and with industry, and industrial connectivity to the UK’s Janet network.

High speed, reliable and secure networking is increasingly considered a utility in the sense of being ubiquitous and essential to everyday life. We will show how the Janet network has become as much a true utility to our digital community as gas, water and electricity are, by looking at some of the ways in which organisations are changing how they deliver on their mission, thanks to the powerful, silent, trustworthy, digital plumbing that is the Janet network.

Slides from my talk on R&D innovation projects around the Janet network for the HEAnet / Juniper Innovation Day, September 2015. I talk about some recent Janet R&D initiatives such as our Reach scheme for connecting industry to the network, our end to end performance initiative, and our Safe Share project for secure access to sensitive data by researchers - e.g. medical records. There is also a recap of some of our recent activity around equipment sharing, our shared data centre, connectivity and deals with major cloud providers.

Milton Keynes is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK and a great economic success story. However, the challenge of supporting sustainable growth without exceeding the capacity of the infrastructure, and whilst meeting key carbon reduction targets, is a major one. MK:Smart is a large collaborative initiative, partly funded by HEFCE (the Higher Education Funding Council for England) and led by The Open University, which is developing innovative solutions to support economic growth in Milton Keynes.

Over the last ten years, smartphones and tablets and pervasive Internet connectivity have taken over our lives, and more importantly the lives of our children. In this talk for Loughborough University's 2018 Learning and Teaching conference I reflect on how higher education could respond to this trend. I invite the audience to consider what children who have always had access to the sum total of human knowledge will will expect and need from universities in the future, and how we might best support learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to thrive

We’ve grown accustomed to being able to call up any information, anywhere, any time - but what happens when our digital landlord forecloses? When that service we entrusted our data to goes to the Startup Graveyard?

Does it feel like the world has recently become much less certain and predictable? We tend to expect that each day will be like the last, more or less, but incremental change is increasingly feeling like a thing of the past. In this talk for the 2018 Scientia EMEA User Conference I look at how we can read the signals around us to better predict the future, and consider the impact of technologies and trends like blockchain, artificial intelligence and Brexit on further and higher education

In this talk for BETT 2018 I take a look at a few of the socio-technical trends that are set to have a big impact on universities and colleges in 2018 from blockchain to Brexit, and data vandalism to UK spaceports. I look at some approaches that institutions can take to help plan for an uncertain future, and consider how the community can mobilise to protect the progressive values that now often seem to be under threat.

We are becoming used to living in an interconnected world, with vast amounts of data at our fingertips, but what happens when our preconceptions are challenged? What happens when the things that we take for granted simply don’t work any more? How can librarians rise to the challenge? In this invited talk for CILIP, I reflect on the impact for libraries and librarians of some of the defining narratives of the late Anthropocene era: from climate change and failed states to cheap space travel and artificial intelligence

In this invited talk for the BCS I look at the state of the art in robots and artificial intelligence, and what this tells us about the near-term future that our children and grandchildren will live in. Will the imminent arrival of AI powered self-driving vehicles mean redundancies for truck and taxi drivers? What will these people do next? I also show how robots and AI are already becoming commonplace, working in places like shops, restaurants and distribution centres

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are used extensively by Internet services to help us find and classify information. This is how products like Google Photos can "magically" find all your photos of cats or trees - or cats up trees! But there's a new wave of AI called generative adversarial neural networks that's all about using AI to make things. In this invited talk for the British Computer Society (BCS) I reflect on what we could use this technology for and the implications for people and society.

What does HPC in the cloud look like in 2017, and how did we get there? In this talk for Red Oak's HPC Seminar, I look at the origins of cloud HPC, and how it has become mainstream through technologies like Amazon Web Services and OpenStack. I also offer a sneak preview of the 2017 UK national e-Infrastructure survey results, and some thoughts about what's next in cloud HPC, from hyperscale providers to the momentum behind container technologies from Docker and the Open Container Initiative.
