Meeting the e-resources challenge through collaboration: an OCLC perspective ...NASIG
Libraries have been evolving their methods and approaches to managing the increasing range and number of electronic collections; however, much of the technology that has been developed to support this evolution involves the use of closed, disparate systems that each supports a single aspect of electronic resource management. At this session, OCLC staff and experts from member libraries will look at specific challenges of the e-resource management life cycle and share their perspectives about the opportunities to simplify and streamline processes at each step of the workflowselect, acquire, describe, discover, access and renew.
Particular focus will be given to the potential for libraries (and providers) to share data, tools and processes within OCLC's suite of WorldShare applications. These include: working with publishers to provide comprehensive, timely, good quality, reusable metadata to drive the discovery and usage of electronic resources; providing APIs that foster the development of functional enhancements that benefit everyone; working with a range of partners to embed metadata about, and drive discovery of, library collections in the sites and tools where users start their search.
OCLC is a worldwide cooperative of more than 16,000 libraries, archives and museums, working with members to provide a range of cloud-based, cooperative services that manage the complete library management life cycleOCLC WorldShare. OCLC's unique community-led approach to cataloging has resulted in widespread acknowledgment of the richness and accuracy of libraries' metadata. We are now applying this approach to the description, management and discovery of electronic resources.
By offering applications that address acquisitions, link resolution, authentication, license management, discovery, metadata synchronization and analyticson an open, shared platformOCLC is working with libraries to share the work of managing and delivering licensed resources with services that streamline and automate critical functions at every step of the library's workflow.

The Electronic Sandbox: Cross Organizational Electronic Resource Management.Colleen Major
Our presentation will focus on Cornell and Columbia’s efforts to examine local electronic resource
licensing, acquisition, and management work-flows; identifying procedures and operations that can be
streamlined and integrated as we move closer towards the goal of joint management of electronic
resources.
The presenters will provide a brief background of the 2CUL collaboration (http://2cul.org/node/17), an
overview of our varied local practices, workflow environments and systems used to support the life
cycle of an electronic resource. We will speak to our similarities and differences, and areas that have
been identified from which we can build a stronger collaboration. Emphasis will be placed on our
current efforts to investigate local e-book purchasing procedures and the potential development for a
joint workflow. Presenters will also discuss the experience of cross-institutional collaboration and
communication, and we will highlight the efforts of established cross-institutional committees and task
forces which are working to provide a future framework for the technical services 2CUL environment.

Semantic Web Technologies: Changing Bibliographic Descriptions?Stuart Weibel
Keynote presentation at the North Atlantic Health Science Library meeting, October 26, 2009.
An introduction to semantic web technologies and their relationship to libraries and bibliographic data.

Mending the Gap between Library's Electronic and Print Collections in ILS and...New York University
This presentation proposed a conceptual model to model user's info seeking behavior in the context of their experience and use the model to improve library's collections and services using St. John's University Libraries for case study. It reviewed Web content technologies offered by IT vendors, and compared what offered in content technologies by Library IT vendors. To fill in the gap, It developed the preliminary proposal for 1) required data architecture in SOA framework, 2) desired features for managing library print and electronic content on library's website, 3) adoption of Semantic Web standards and technologies for managing library resources, and 4) the case study scenario with sample conceptual model.
Trial by Fire and Then Some for Electronic Resources: Connecting the Communit...NASIG
Electronic resource troubleshooting can feel like putting out a fire every day in a library. When a real fire comes along as Kansas State University experienced this past summer, one learns not to take electronic resources and the fact that they are working for granted. Regardless of integrated library system or discovery layer, getting databases and online subscriptions back up is especially critical for a collection without a building. Getting back to a sense of “normal” involves rethinking priorities, staffing, and the nature of the resources in given circumstances. The Jane Hale electronic resource ticketing system was staffed with more intention resulting in more timely access to the electronic resources. Relocation of ticketing staff to a different building off-campus created more empathy for the users.
The May 2018 fire coincided with the end of the fiscal year, cancellations, and renewals. Damage to the University Data Center housed in Hale Library meant the proxy server had to be rebuilt from an old configuration file with a dated user file for temporary authentication. Jane Hale ticketing staffing and processes were not in an optimal place. Earlier in the fall of 2017 the acquisitions unit began a study of its Jane Hale ticketing system for electronic resource issues and problems. Combining the fire event with the Jane Hale ticketing system as a framework yielded growth in customer service orientation. The community of vendors, librarians, and patrons demonstrated an outpouring of support and kindness.
Lessons learned include creating good relationships before something goes bad and fostering a sense of community. Communication both internal and external is very important. The disaster response for electronic resources became an effective continuity plan: deciding what is essential and how to use communication and other skills to meet the needs of the library community.

Funding Mobile Innovation in the Library: The Why and HowRachel Vacek
This is the keynote for the Spring 2010 CALLR Meeting (http://www.callr.us/). Mobile technologies are having a big impact on libraries today. This presentation covers why libraries should be paying attention, highlights libraries that are doing innovative things with mobile technologies, and how to get funding to bring mobile devices into your library.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
