Unshelving the Human Learning Library at Your Institution (WILU 2012)Robyn Hall
Lightning strike session presented at WILU 2012 with Sona Macnaughton at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta on May 24, 2012.
Abstract: Human Libraries are taking place all over the world as a means of bringing communities together to share diverse experiences and encourage understanding. At Red Deer College, librarians have discovered that using this event concept specifically as a professional development tool encourages dialogue and fosters growth and innovation in teaching and learning practices. This presentation will address the process librarians went through to organize and host this event, and the resulting benefits shared among teaching staff and student participants. Learn about how your own institution can encourage both instructors and students to take on the role of “living books” reflecting upon and sharing their teaching and learning strategies and inspiring their peers.

How do you run a library when you are the only paid staff? From books to volunteers, budget to programming, learn what it takes to prosper as a solo librarian. Librarian Sherri will discuss her strategies to keep sane in a busy workplace. She’ll speak about purchasing books, passive and active readers’ advisory, utilizing volunteers, simple programing ideas, patrons, and some budgeting. We will save time for questions, suggestions, and brainstorming.
Presenter: Sherri Lemhouse, Librarian, Brownsville (OR) Community Library.
These slides accompanied a March 2015 webinar for ALSC on the topic of diverse STEAM practices, from the reasons to incorporate them in a youth library setting to age-appropriate examples and resources.
For those of us not ready to add hog butchering and pole dancing to our program calendars: make your library programming more successful by breaking free of perceived limitations in logistics and partnerships, instead of subject matter. Programs that are closely aligned with the library's core services can be wildly successful while building the library's brand and differentiating you from all other community programming.

Collaborating to enhance opportunities for teaching and learning, and for the...Sarah Gallagher
This was presented at the University of Otago General Staff Conference, "Linked In and Switched On", 29 August 2014.
Books on Prescription is a programme designed to provide access to evidence-based self-help resources for those experiencing common mental health problems. It was adopted by the Southern Primary Health Organisation (PHO) in 2011, following in the footsteps of National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. It has found success in Central Otago Public Libraries and has recently been adopted by all public libraries in the regions of Otago and Southland.
Books are prescribed to patients by health professionals from a list of recommended titles that have been reviewed by mental health professionals. These titles allow people to independently learn strategies to improve their mental well-being and supplement primary health treatment for common mental health problems.
The University of Otago Health Sciences Library saw an opportunity to support the teaching and learning of medical students. By engaging in this collaboration the partners hope to embed the programme into the practice of future health professionals and to improve the well-being of staff and students. This paper reviews the programme in the University setting and Southern PHO catchment to date.
Developing Health Sciences students’ information skills through online self-p...Sarah Gallagher
Sarah Gallagher, Trish Leishman and Richard German - University of Otago Health Sciences Library
StudySmart is a self-paced online course originally designed for second year medical students at the University of Otago by the Health Sciences liaison librarians.(1) The course replaced in-class information skills labs and was piloted with this cohort in 2012.(3) In 2013, with support (2) from the Schools, StudySmart was rolled out to second year Dentistry, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy students. By the end of 2013 StudySmart was accepted as a Terms requirement within the Medical, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy curricula.
The content comprises learning objects developed in-house (4) as well as appropriate Open Educational Resources (OERs) from external sources. It comprises a series of topics, tasks and quizzes which are built within the extant Learning Management Systems (LMS) - Moodle and Blackboard. Academics are able to select topics that meet their students’ needs from a pool that is edited or added to as required.
We will report on qualitative and quantitative evaluation data which demonstrate the students’ level of knowledge and understanding after completing StudySmart, as well as reporting on what the students believed were the most valuable and least valuable aspects of the course. The majority of students who completed the course reported an increase in knowledge of, and understanding about, the topics covered and were positively disposed to the value of the online course.(5, 6) This paper will also report on some of the challenges that we faced and how the course has developed within the programmes for 2014.
This paper builds on a short talk given at Spotlight on Teaching & Learning at the University of Otago on 27th August 2013.
A short introduction to QR Codes and how they can be used in Libraries. The actual presentation at Dunedin Public Library (6 March 2014) included a practical session with examples of QR Codes that participants could experiment with.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Childrens’ opinions
I want our library to
be bright, and have
lots of colour.
Visiting our library should
take longer. I would like it
to take a long time.
It would be nice to be able to
have a table or something
where you could write down
things from the books, and also
a chair for if you are going to be
there a long time.
I would like the
library to be
warm. And cosy.
And welcoming.
And smell good.
6. I want to be able to reach all the
books, because maybe they are good
ones at the top.
It would be great to
have more books
and new ones.
What I want most is places to
sit and read in the library.
Maybe cushions but best
would be chairs, but they
cost lots of money.
I would like a computer in our library, to
find out things that the books we have in
there can't tell me.
