 Richard Ovenden has been Bodley’s Librarian (the senior Executive position of the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford) since 2014. His keynote speech at LIBER 2019 is entitled ‘Bits and votes: The role of libraries and archives in open societies’, and will consider the role that libraries play in preserving knowledge and in making it available in the context of the attacks on open society. The talk will look at historic and contemporary threats to knowledge, and the motivations of those that seek to destroy knowledge or restrict access. It will look in particular at the steps being taken by the library and archive community on the front line of preserving and sharing knowledge in defence of open societies.

Astrid Söderbergh Widding is a Professor of Cinema Studies and President of Stockholm University since 2013. Her keynote speech at LIBER 2019 is entitled ‘In Transition to Open Science – A Perspective from a President’s Point of View’. Astrid describes the talk as follows: “While it is easy to agree about the general vision of Open Science, the task to actually make the transition happen is not all that easy. Politicians, publishers, research financers, libraries, university managements – and last but not least the researchers themselves – all want, and need, to have their say. The divergent opinions on Plan S is but one example of the complexity of these questions. This paper attempts to outline some corner stones in a basic strategy for making the transition to Open Science possible, while also taking into consideration the stumbling stones that may threaten the process, from the perspective of university leadership.”

Linda Doyle is Professor of Engineering & The Arts in Trinity College Dublin. Prior to taking on the role of Dean of Research at Trinity College Dublin, she was the Director of the CONNECT SFI Research Centre, a national research centre focused on future networks and communications.  Her keynote speech at LIBER 2019 is entitled ‘Research for Society – the new world of public engagement, citizen science, community and civic action’.  Linda describes the talk as follows: “The talk will begin by looking at why research matters to society. It will look at the invisible (often times digital) forces shaping our daily lives to show how important it is that these are firstly understood and secondly driven in the direction that is best for our world. To look at these forces topics such as Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, new forms of currency among others will feature. The talk will go on to look the role of the citizen in developing this understanding and interrogating the physical and digital world around us.  It will explore how co-creation of research can be facilitated through creative arts practices as well as more traditional research methodologies and understand new forms of civic action that might take place. It will finish by looking at how the library of today and the library of the future sits within this space.”
