Webinar description and speaker overview:
While there is much talk of altmetrics as a *potential* source of valuable
data for impact assessment and attention monitoring, what are campuses
actually doing with this kind of data? This webinar is dedicated to a short
overview of what altmetrics are and then a discussion with Scott Taylor,
from the Research Services team at the University of Manchester Library,
who will share his experience of adopting and rolling out altmetrics across
campus using the Altmetric for Institutions (AFI) platform. Scott will
discuss what motivated him to implement this new tool, how he hopes
altmetrics can help his faculty and administrators achieve their goals,
and the feedback he's received so far from stakeholders at his
university.
*Sara Rouhi is Altmetric's Product Specialist and Sales Manager for North
America. Based in Washington DC she regularly speaks around the globe on
scholarly communications, metrics and impact, and the publishing process.*
*Scott Taylor has worked in public and academic libraries since 2004 and is
currently a Research Services Librarian at The University of Manchester
Library, UK. Scott has been significantly involved in the development of
services in support of both Gold and Green Open Access at Manchester. Most
recently, he provides advice and training on matters relating to the
citation performance of research outputs. His special interests include the
latest developments in scholarly communications and particularly the
measurement of research reach and impact.*
