The SUNCAT team will once again be at the UKSG Annual Conference, which this year is to be held in Glasgow next week from the 30th March to the 1st of April.

For those of you who don’t know, UKSG is an organisation which “exists to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication. It is the only organisation spanning the wide range of interests and activities across the scholarly information community of librarians, publishers, intermediaries and technology vendors”.

We shall be attending the plenary sessions and various breakout sessions. If you come across us please do say hello! We will also be giving a demo of the new-look SUNCAT service at the Jisc exhibition stand (Stands 35 and 37) on Tuesday 31st March during the lunchtime. We will tweet more specific details on the demo closer to the time. If you have any questions about SUNCAT or want to arrange a separate demo please do pop along to the Jisc stand.

Other EDINA services and projects will also be represented at UKSG. There will be a short demo of The Keeper’s Registry by Lisa Otty at the Jisc stand. Look out for details on this @keepersregistry. There will also be a Group A breakout session entitled ‘Hiberlink: Threat and Remedy of Reference Rot in Online Scholarly Statement’ and given by Peter Burnhill, Muriel Mewissen and Richard Wincewicz on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st March.

You can follow the conference through the UKSGLive blog (which SUNCAT members Paula and Celia will be contributing to), as well as on Twitter @UKSG and using the hashtag #UKSG15. SUNCAT will also be tweeting @suncatteam. Whether you will be at the conference, or following it online, we hope you have a really interesting and enjoyable conference.

Members of the SUNCAT Bibliographic Team, along with EDINA colleagues, will be attending the 37^th Annual UKSG Conference to be held in Harrogate next week, from Monday 14^th to Wednesday 16^th April.

UKSG “exists to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication. It is the only organisation spanning the wide range of interests and activities across the scholarly information community of librarians, publishers, intermediaries and technology vendors”.

We are very much looking forward to attending talks on a wide variety of themes, with plenary sessions entitled ‘Interesting Times’, ‘Research Assessment’, Trust, Impact and Workflows’, ‘Discovery’, and ‘Open and Close’, along with lightening talks and breakout sessions. It looks like it will be a very interesting and thought-provoking conference.

Both Paula Cuccurullo and Celia Jenkins will also be contributing to the UKSG blog. You can also follow SUNCAT at the conference on Twitter @suncatteam, as well as follow the event in general @uksg, with the conference hashtag being #UKSGlive.

SUNCAT will be on the EDINA stand (number 10) at the conference exhibition, covering all breaks. Please come along and see us if you’re attending. We will be showing the new-look SUNCAT, answering any questions you may have about SUNCAT, as well as telling you about other EDINA services. We look forward to seeing you there!

The SUNCAT team were very happy to attend this year’s excellent UKSG Annual Conference in Bournemouth. We hope that those of you who attended were able to visit the SUNCAT stand and try out our new interface!

Team members Paula Cuccurullo and Celia Jenkins have summarised some of the plenaries and breakouts they attended for the official UKSG conference blog.

• Breakout A: ALMA@UEL and Intota@Huddersfield: implementing a next-generation library management system.
• Butterflies, Publishers and Librarians – final UKSG plenary session.
• Breakout C: PIRUS: a new COUNTER standard for article level and institutional repository usage statistics.
• “Great Expectations”: how libraries are changing to meet student needs.
• Towards an ‘open’ approach for discovery.
• PDA checklist for academic libraries.
• Electronic resources and ILL – a self-contradiction?

You can still take a look at the new-look SUNCAT. Let us have your feedback via edina@ed.ac.uk. The new service is still in development so please continue to use the current SUNCAT as your primary service.

SUNCATwill be present at this year’s UKSG Conference, to be held in Harrogate from Monday 4^th to Wednesday 6th April.
