This poster will depict the innovation ecosystem relevant to University Technology Transfer (UTT), particularly focusing on the current and potential roles that academic libraries play in supporting and interacting with these functions. In studying the process of UTT, the audience will gain insight into how UTT functions, the potential value their expertise can provide, while also helping develop an understanding of the terminology and metrics for success used in the UTT community. An important challenge for responding to the needs of this group is the constraints on what is available to them through University Libraries due to licensing and budgetary limitations. The poster will explore the opportunities and resources available that map to UTT needs while navigating those limitations, featuring open access and other available resources. Though most informed by the experience of the home country, differences in home-geography governance will also be reflected in the poster.
 Great. Thank you very much. Hi Terrence. Please let me know if you have any issues hearing me or seeing my slides. Looks good and I think yep the screen is shared. Looks good. You're welcome to begin sir. Great. Thank you very much. So today I'll be talking about university technology transfer and university libraries. I am an entrepreneurship librarian at Michigan State University. So you're probably familiar but university technology transfer really speaks to the broad set of operations at a university where they're looking to take scientific innovations and support the process of bringing those innovations to bear in the market place. So could be many things from licensing of patents to actually starting up businesses as well. So one of the motivations for me is because I'm excited by the prospect of seeing those real world impacts play out and the university plays an important part in this burgeoning always growing always becoming more important I think technology landscape, which includes financial capital and startups and investors and governments but also the university and that the library can play an important part in this. So this is a very brief rundown of the technology transfer process, where you're going from research and innovation all the way to business and the university libraries are really already experts in business information literacy, but also making clear to different audiences where there's language differences where things are going to be changing as you're going from academia to business, and really making the process smoother, less stressful process for people, but these coaching and market sizing and market analysis and introductory patent search these are all things that business librarians often already do. So that's one of the first challenges to being more involved in this work. It may be outside the scope of your business libraries current operations, and there may be cultural pushback. It may be outside the scope of your entire libraries workflow. And that also is reflected in the materials licensing that they may not be licensed to support technology transfer work. And of course this work can be time intensive so scoping it is incredibly important. So some of the upside and why that might be worth getting involved in any way. So there's an incredibly high impact potential. And in my experience that these people may find you anyways, if you're involved in entrepreneurship research, so you can be proactive and be better prepared to support their work. If you're planning for it. So some of the best practices are to know what your universities research innovation strengths are. And to better understand the TTO and your institution to know who might be best coached and to know your licenses. But if you're curious, please reach out to me and join us in the discussion and thanks for your attention.
