The library profession is at a cross roads. Computer technology coupled with the Internet have changed the way content is created, maintained, evaluated, and distributed. While the core principles of librarianship (collection, organization, preservation, and dissemination) are still very much apropos to the current milieu, the exact tasks of the profession are not as necessary as they once were. What is a librarian to do? In my opinion, there are three choices: 1) creating services against content as opposed to simply providing access to it, 2) curating collections that are unique to our local institutions, or 3) providing sets of services that are a combination of #1 and #2. This presentation elaborates on these ideas and demonstrates some of the possibilities.

We used to think of the user in the life of the library. Now we think of the library in the life of the user. As behaviors change in a network environment, we have seen growing interest in ethnographic and user-centered design approaches. This presentation introduces this topic. It also explores changes in how we manage collections as an illustration of this shift towards thinking of the library in the life of the user.

Libraries are now supporting research and learning behaviors in data rich network environments. This presentation looks at some examples focusing on how an emphasis on individual systems needs to give way to a broader view of process, workflow and behaviors.
It also discusses how this environment creates a demand for collaboration at scale among libraries.
In the age of the internet, many think libraries are being destroyed. One need not yield to pessimism: identifiable trends point to a promising future.

ABSTRACT : A digital is an organized collection of electronic resources. Digital library is a very complex and dynamic entity. It has brought phenomenal change in information collection, preservation and dissemination scene of the world. It is complex entity because it completely based on ICT systems. A distinction is often made between content that was created in a digital format, known as born-digital, and information that has been converted from a physical medium, e.g. paper, by digitizing. It should also be noted that not all electronic content is in digital data format. The term hybrid library is sometimes used for libraries that have both physical collections and electronic collections for example: American Memory is a digital library within the Library of Congress.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

A few possibilities for librarianship by 2015
1. A few possibilities for
librarianship by 2015
Eric Lease Morgan
University of Notre Dame
November 26 and 30, 2009
2. Types of libraries
There are many individual libraries, but there
are only a few different types. No matter what
type, they all share a number of core values,
and the all support a set of similar services.
3.
4.
5.
6. The whats of librarianship
Libraries collect, preserve, organize, and
disseminate data, information, and knowledge for
the purposes of making the work of their
respective communities easier.
To one degree or another, just about everything us
librarians do can be associated with one of these
processes.
These things are the whats of librarianship, and
they change very slowly.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11. The hows of librarianship
The hows of librarianship are the things of our
everyday work, our day-to-day operations, the
specific workflows within each of our libraries.
The hows of librarianship change at a much
faster pace, and these changes are usually
driven by technology.
And, librarians love lists
14. Lists as indexes, not databases
With the advent of freely available, industrial
strength indexers – not databases – we have
seen an evolutionary development in the
creation of lists. This is the work of the
“information retrieval” community whose
tools are mathematics, and the epitome of
this community is…
15.
16. “Smart” computer indexes
# calculate term frequency/inverse document frequency
sub tfidf {
my $n = shift; # number of times found in document
my $t = shift; # total number of words in document
my $d = shift; # total number of documents
my $h = shift; # number of hits in the corpus
my $tfidf = 0;
if ( $d == $h ) { $tfidf = ( $n / $t ) }
else { $tfidf = ( $n / $t ) * log( $d / $h ) }
return $tfidf;
}
17. “Next-generation” catalogs
One possible future for libraries lies in the re-
creation of our venerable library catalogs, but
I think this represents a limited vision…
18.
19. Putting content into context
Considering the current environment, a more
promising future of libraries lies in making
content more useful. Examples include:
annotate, compare & contrast, create flip
book, do concordance against, find opposite,
find similar, highlight, incorporate into
syllabus, plot on a map, print, rate, review,
save, share, summarize, tag, trace citation,
translate, etc.
21. Customization/personalization
Putting content into context is also a matter of
understanding who your customers are, what
they are trying to accomplish, and creating
systems that seem to “know” these things.
22.
23.
24.
25. Plan B - Archives
A “Plan B” or another future of libraries lies in
their ability to be more like archives.
This work falls into two categories: 1) the work
of “institutional repositories”, and 2) the
digitization of “special collections”.
26. New ways to do old thing
If this is the case, then you will need to use
computer technology to:
1. Decide what content to include (collections)
2. Collect it (acquisitions)
3. Normalize it (cataloging)
4. Index it (systems)
5. Provide access to the index (public service)
27.
28.
29.
30.
31. Change happens s l o o w l y
Books are not going anywhere. Journals are still
the medium of formal scholarly
communication. The licensing of content will
continue. Because of these things, the work of
librarianship as it stands today will change
slowly over the next five years.
32.
33.
34.
35. Evolution, not revolution
Time and energy need to be spent now in
order for change to become a reality, to
discover new, additional, and
supplemental roles for ourselves. The
opportunities are only limited by our
imagination and willingness to transform
them into reality.
