SUMMARY:'The Sport in European Cinema Database: From Rogues of the Turf (UK 1910) to Russian Sport Cinema'
DESCRIPTION:‘The Sport in European Cinema Database: From Rogues of the Turf (UK 1910) to Russian Sport Cinema’  \nwith Dr. Seán Crosson \n Wednesday June 7\, 6pm (Irish time) / 7pm (CET) \n  \nAll welcome at: uvic-cat.zoom.us/j/96387596986 \nSport cinema has been among the most enduring and popular genres within American cinema; however\, limited research has been undertaken as yet of the European experience. Though a less prominent feature of European cinema\, the European sports film has had a long history dating back to the earliest Lumière brothers productions. This paper provides some initial findings from the research undertaken of European sport cinema as part of the establishment of an online database on the subject – now available at https://sportandfilm.eu/. The paper argues for the importance of these depictions as a significant component of European cinema providing sometimes unique insights into the development of sport and society across the continent. Some salient points regarding sport in European film (and the development of the genre) will be identified\, with particular attention paid to the increasing importance of sport cinema within the Russian context and its role in grooming a domestic audience for the prevailing political discourse in that country\, and military action in Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Open Scholarship Café: E-textbook emergency: OER to the rescue?
DESCRIPTION:Open Scholarship Café: E-textbook emergency: OER to the rescue? In-Person / Online\n\nStudents in Galway and elsewhere are at an ever-sharpening point of an affordability crisis that threatens their education. The fatalistic common-place that ‘students don’t buy their textbooks’ or required readings conceals the fact that among those who ‘don’t’ are those who don’t because they can’t – and the latter can only be growing in number. Students’ ability to purchase textbooks declines as affordable accommodation options shrink and the price of groceries grow and grow; students who can’t access education resources are at a disadvantage. Can Open Educational Resources (OER) help make sure that all students have access to essential learning materials like textbooks? \nAmong their other uses – they make use of open licenses allowing them to be revised and remixed – OER are free to use and redistribute\, suggesting themselves as possible strategies in addressing overlapping crises of affordability in higher education. The COVID-era shift to online\, for example\, included a rapid shift towards ebooks from print textbooks. While useful in overcoming the limitations of print\, this shift has exposed weaknesses in prevailing models of ebook provision – including runaway inflation in terms of ebook and ebook platform pricing and license terms that are not favourable in terms of providing reliable\, equitable access to students. These factors have put pressure on university libraries and their budgets\, with attendant knock-on effects for staff and students who depend on these learning resources for their studies and for their student success. \nThe speakers:\n1. Ronán Kennedy (University of Galway Library\, Head of Collections): #ebooksos – a primer \nThe academic ebook market has long been a cause for concern due to market manipulation\, excessive pricing and exploitation of events such as COVID-19. #ebooksos was conceived as a call for action to investigate the academic ebook market and has gathered international momentum. This paper will give a brief overview of the rationale behind #ebooksos\, as well as offering suggestions for alternative routes to academic content provision in teaching\, learning and research. \n2. Marguerita McGovern (University of Galway Lecturer\, School of Political Science & Sociology): ‘Lights\, camera\, action!’ Extending the brief. – The use of videos and podcasts within eBooks. \nThe making of an E-book series for Social Work students that helps them to see beyond the written text and experience the spoken word of professionals in their field of expertise. \n3. Jacqueline Murphy (University of Galway\, Lecturer School of Political Science and Sociology): Opening the Sociological Imagination \nCreating an open textbook for first-year sociological students. The aim of this project is to use education technology to create an accessible and interactive learning object.  This talk will focus on two interconnected themes- the capacity of OER to promote equity and inclusivity in Irish Education whilst being mindful of the importance of building critical analysis skills so students can question\, evaluate and analyze the sea of information available to them. \n\nRelated LibGuide: Open Educational Resources (OER) by Kristopher Meen \n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required. There are 25 in-person seats available. There are 30 online seats available. \nRegistration TypeFor events that support both registration types\, registration must be for either the in-person location or online. \n\nIn-Person Registration\nOnline Registration\n\n\n\nBEGIN REGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Open Scholarship Café: Predatory publishing - How to identify questionable journals
DESCRIPTION:Open Scholarship Café: Predatory publishing – How to identify questionable journals In-Person / Online\n\nThis is a hybrid event! We would like to meet you in person in the Hardiman Building\, G010 (on ground floor) where we will finish with a free slice of fresh vegetarian pizza! But if you can’t join us on campus you are very welcome to join us online for the presentation and discussion. Please choose below if you join us in person or online. We need to know for catering purposes! \n\nPublish or Perish! This is the world many researchers find themselves in. Questionable and sometimes fraudulent actors try to take advantage of the pressure on authors by offering to publish their research for a fee\, but without the proper checks and processes expected from academic journals. These outlets are labelled predatory journals\, and they seem to multiply in number year on year! They are seen by many as a genuine threat to the Open Access movement because they weaken the credibility of genuine OA journals. \nThe aim of this Open Scholarship Café is to look at the phenonomen of predatory publishing in a critical way. Is this real threat to academics or are we in a stage of “moral panic”? We will look at how to detect signs of predatory behaviour and how you can check if a journal adheres to academic standards. One of the tools we will look at is the Think Check Submit website. \nThe Café also aims to draw on the knowledge and experiences of the participants with regards to publishing. To draw on real world examples please forward emails of potentially predatory journals to Hardy (hardy.schwamm@universityofgalway.ie) in advance of the Café so we can look at them jointly. \nThe facilitator:\nHardy Schwamm is the Open Scholarship Librarian at University of Galway Library. Hardy is a member of the IReL Steering Group that negotioates Open Access agreements with publishers. Hardy is also interested in how the scholarly communications landscape is going to develop given the technological and policy changes of the last few years. This is the first time he is organising a sessin looking at the phenomenon of predatory publishing and he hopes participants will share experiences with him. \n\nRelated LibGuide: Publishing your research by Rosie Dunne \nRegistration\n\n\nRegistration is required.
