Libraries play a critical role in fostering inclusivity. It could be argued that the mission of the Open University, to be open to people, places, methods and ideas, is actually a mission close to the heart of all libraries and one that we all should follow. The ideal library is one that supports welcoming, open spaces that encourage inclusivity. This presentation will share examples of inclusive approaches and highlight some of the tensions in a Higher Education environment.

Although library collaboration is common and many libraries collaborate through many organizations, it is a relatively unexamined aspect of library work. Many descriptions exist, but little from the point of view of organization and motivation. We will present a framework for thinking about library collaboration and draw out some of the challenges successful collaborations face. We will also consider how collaboration is evolving and how trends may be accelerated. We will emphasize that collaboration is a set of strategic and tactical choices, that it is very influenced by people and politics, and that collective action poses problems.
These dynamics are very much alive in questions around collective collections. We will look at collections as an example of the consolidation vs autonomy dynamic we observe in consortia generally. We also try and provide some guidance about how a collective collections initiative would be shaped – to identify points where decisions and commitments need to be made. We consider retrospective collection coordination (digitization, resource sharing, shared print) which currently tends to be layered over relatively autonomously developed collections, optimized at the institutional level, and prospective collection development (where libraries work together to optimize at the system level through collaborative collection development, licensing and so on). We consider some different dynamics with licensed and purchased materials, as well as institutionally created materials (research outputs, …).

Teaching and learning at universities has moved beyond traditional transfer of knowledge from the learned to the learning. In today’s rapidly evolving world, educators at higher education institutions are challenged with preparing students to succeed in jobs that don’t even exist today, in a world in which creativity and innovation are valued as much as knowledge.
What does it take to do this? What are the latest trends in teaching and learning at higher education institutions? Are they keeping up with the transformations taking place beyond campus boundaries? What are the strategies for broader adoption of effective teaching and learning practices across campus?
UCalgary's Vice-Provost of Teaching and Learning (Interim) Leslie Reid and Jay Cross, Director of the new College of Discovery, Creativity and Innovation in UCalgary's Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, provide their expert knowledge on these and other related questions.

Working with student workers is something many of us do on a daily basis. However, few of us were ever taught the skills needed to be successful in this management situation. Student workers bring their natural talents to the table, but many lack job experience and have not had the opportunity to learn job etiquette that traditional workplaces expect. Our goal is for our student workers to become more employable and ready for the workforce when they leave our institution.
During this session, we will give you an overview of our efforts at the Butler Community College Libraries to incorporate formal and informal learning about workplace-related skills into our student workers’ daily tasks. We will discuss our curriculum related to soft skills and resumes as well as our recent implementation of employee reviews for student workers.
Laying the groundwork: Implementing a new evaluation systemCULS
The University of Kansas has implemented a new performance management system for paraprofessional staff to satisfy in part, the “Developing Excellence in People” goal of the University’s strategic plan. The new Performance Management System allows supervisors and staff to establish and comment on performance goals throughout the year and at the end of the year, to provide a rating for each goal. In addition, the System requires staff and supervisors to rate and comment on nine core competencies that the University Leadership determined staff should be evaluated upon. Due to a one-size-fits-all implementation, the definitions and examples supplied by the University for these competencies are necessarily generic. As part of its implementation of the new Performance Management System, the Cataloging Department of the University of Kansas Libraries developed more specific examples for the competencies in an effort to encourage a shared understanding amongst staff and supervisors of how the nine core competencies were to be evaluated. This presentation will share the process by which the departmental managers created relevant examples that fit the work of the Department and how the process worked in its first year of implementation, from the perspective of the department head and a new supervising employee.
Pushing the Institutional Repository to a New Level: Potential Benefits of Me...CULS
Librarians at Kansas State University Libraries recognized a need to document and showcase a more complete view of the digital scholarship of an institution’s faculty, staff, and students; giving us the ability to elevate the academic research and creative output being produced by our community. This need has been recognized, but not yet addressed by many universities. The mission of an institutional repository (IR) is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the publications and other scholarly work of departments, programs, faculty, staff, and students. Expanding on our existing IR workflow to include metadata only records we can better meet this recognized need while still meeting the mission of the IR. Presenters for this session will compare the two workflows, present survey findings from the campus community, and discuss the next steps.
Reviewing Apps: Taking Evaluation Skills Outside of the LibraryCULS
From 2014-2016, the National Networks of Libraries of Medicine, MidContinental Region ran the Mobile App Experience Project. This program provided funds for health science librarians to purchase apps via iTunes or Google Play. In exchange, participants were asked to thoroughly evaluate each app and share their experience in using them with the library community. Evaluators were equipped with an App Evaluation Report Form (AERF) to help develop a systematic and critical evaluation of mobile apps. The AERF guided the users to report on an app's: authority of information sources; accuracy and objectivity; currency of information; organization and usability; and purpose. After completing the project, participants were asked to respond to a brief questionnaire about their experience.
This presentation will provide an overview of the project, its challenges and successes, and suggestions for how you can establish a similar program in your college or university.
The Librarian of Steel at 2,246 Degrees: (Re)Shaping our Roles in the 21st Ce...CULS
Much like Superman, librarians have long been praised for their superhuman abilities. Whether saving the day with the perfect resource just in the nick of time or helping fight through the chaos of information overload, the academic librarian has historically been a true (Wo)man of Steel. But as we move through the second decade of the 21st century, our roles are changing – we need to be more flexible and malleable than steel. Our colleges and universities, and thus our libraries, have reached their metaphorical forging point of 2,246 degrees Fahrenheit – the temperature at which steel softens and can be more easily molded. Like it or not, our campus communities are changing, and those changes affect how we interact with students, faculty, and staff and what services they seek. Now is the time to (re)shape our current and future roles so that we do not just remain relevant to our campus communities but act as leaders in forging new collaborations and opportunities.
Much has been written in recent literature and discussed in professional associations about the changing roles of liaison librarians in research libraries. The University of Kansas (KU) Libraries have moved away from the liaison model still common in many research libraries to a consultant model. This presentation has three aims: first, to provide an overview of the changing roles of many librarians in research libraries as evidenced in the literature; second, to outline the changes made at KU Libraries and how that has affected the roles of three humanities librarians; and (most importantly) third, to open a discussion of how our colleagues at other colleges and universities throughout Kansas have seen their own roles changing.
When it comes to discussing the roles of librarians, one size does not fit all. A librarian who is one of 100 staff is going to have different challenges and opportunities than a librarian that is one of five, or maybe the librarian on their campus; however, we believe commonalities exist no matter the library size. The goal of this session is to bring those commonalities to the forefront. An examination of recent scholarship and engaging dialogue will prompt attendees to reflect on the evolution of their positions and consider strategies for actively shaping their future through collaborative and professional development opportunities.
Making Room for Change: Rightsizing the PSU Library Serials Collection CULS
Print journal collection development has long been one of the traditional roles of academic librarians. However, in the last 20 years or so, print journal ownership has declined and online journal access has taken its place; both due to growing concerns with flat or declining budgets as well as a lack of space and the need to repurpose this limited space. Pittsburg State University’s (PSU) Axe Library faced the challenge of balancing our print and electronic serials collections at a university whose programs sometimes do not draw enough on library resources. In an effort to create a meaningful discovery experience for the university community and better align PSU Library Services with the university’s strategic plan, we have been rightsizing the serials collection, taking a more thoughtful approach to collection development and weeding, reaching out to faculty for input, and freeing up space for other purposes. The future goal is a PSU curriculum and research focused journal collection coupled with relevant services and resources to serve users’ needs. Come hear about our library’s new approach to serials collection development and weeding through rightsizing the library’s serials collection.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

Mission and Future Forward Thinking
The future of libraries as both a physical and a virtual place is
integral to the success of academic institutions. While
speculation about the future viability of libraries is evident, it has
been difficult to identify the directions libraries intend to go. New
roles for academic librarians have been suggested in the
literature, however, it has not been clear if these roles connect
with expressed library mission and vision.
“...mission statements were not just concepts and philosophies...
[they] were well-thought out ideas that had helped [the
companies] meet and exceed their financial dreams, treat their
employees well, break free of a crisis, and stake out a piece of
"the right thing to do". They were road maps for the high road.”
