Ed Fay presented on creating an LSE Digital Library to make the library's collections accessible online. The digital library will contain both digitized historic materials like manuscripts and photographs as well as born-digital collections like research outputs, web archives, and digital archives. Fay discussed user experience design, licensing content openly through Creative Commons, integrating with third-party platforms, and establishing roles and responsibilities to develop the digital library over time through a phased approach requiring new infrastructure, staff skills, and prioritization. The digital library aims to preserve and provide access to digital collections on par with the strength of the library's physical holdings.

Planning the Future and Preserving the Past: Emerging Technology in the Libra...Kristen Yarmey
Joint presentation with Sheli McHugh at the February 27, 2014 University of Scranton IT Forum.
Throughout the Weinberg Memorial Library’s 20th Anniversary celebration in 2012-2013, Dean Charles Kratz reflected on the idea of looking back while also looking forward, preserving the history and heritage of the University while also sustaining and advancing innovative research, teaching, and learning at the University. To fulfill this dual role, the Library has collaborated extensively with Information Resources on technology tools, from hardware and software to wiring and wireless infrastructure. In this presentation, Learning Commons Coordinator Sheli McHugh will discuss the ongoing development of the technology-rich Reilly Learning Commons (scheduled to open in Fall 2014), while Digital Services Librarian Kristen Yarmey will share the Library's progress and long-term plans for capturing, preserving, and providing access to born digital resources, such as University records, publications, and web pages, as well as digitized materials from the Library's Archives and Special Collections.

Collections unbound: collection directions and the RLUK collective collectionlisld
A presentation given to RLUK Members' meeting at the University of Warwick.
The library identity has been closely bound with its collection. However this is changing as research and learning behaviours evolve in a network environment. There are three interesting trends. First, atttention is shifting from a library-centric view of a locally owned collection to a user-centred view of a facilitated collection in places where the library can add value. Second, there is growing emphasis on support for creation, for the process of research, as well as for the products, the article or book. And third, we are seeing a changing perspective on the historic core, the print book collection. Increasingly, this is being seen in collective ways as institutions manage down print, or think about its management in cooperative settings, or retire collections as space is reconfigured around research and learning experiences. This presentation also provides preliminary findings for the analysis being carried out by OCLC Research of the RLUK collective collection.

Libraries used to be vertically integrated around their collections. Buildings housed them; expertise was devoted to arranging and interpreting them; and services managed them and made them available. In a network environment place, expertise, collections and services come apart in various ways. They influence one another but have their own trajectory in relation to diversifying user behaviors and expections.

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.

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.
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.

Press for Change belongs a different model – it was founded in 1992 and has been the key lobbying and legal support group for transgendered people.Its main presence is as an online group through its website and its active members and supporters have always used digital communications.We were approached in 2012 - the organisation had very different concerns – they had struggled to find a place of deposit because of the subject matter and were therefore happy to deposit their archives in a repository which felt comfortable with this kind of material. Depositors knew more about their digital records and were able to negotiate the deposit agreement and the transfer of data.Also relatively open about access to the materials they were sending – including emails. This was an attitude informed by the organisations commitment to publicity and information.The material has now been transferred and Ellie will be saying more about the process of accepting the archives.
