This document discusses rethinking information literacy in the context of global citizenship in higher education. It argues that existing information literacy standards and definitions may need to be updated or reconstructed to better address educating students for global citizenship. It suggests taking a deeper, more critical approach to information literacy that considers the wider information context and acknowledges cultural, ethical, economic, legal and social issues related to information. The document reviews several existing international information literacy standards and guidelines and how they may need to evolve to fully support global learning outcomes. It also describes an initial survey conducted to further explore connections between information literacy and global learning.
The document discusses the development of a Researcher Development Programme at the University of Liverpool library to provide targeted training to researchers, including challenges in promoting the program due to issues with branding, marketing, and meeting the diverse needs of researchers. It provides an overview of the types of training sessions offered as well as recommendations to improve promotion through standardizing materials, networking events, and championing the program within academic departments.
This document provides information about adjectives followed by prepositions in English. It begins by explaining that certain prepositions must follow specific adjectives, though there are no definite rules. Examples of common adjective-preposition combinations are given for prepositions like "of", "at", "in", "on", "with", and "for". The major rules around preposition choice and placement in sentences are also outlined. Tables listing many adjectives followed by their typical prepositions are included for reference. Sources for the information are cited at the end.
This document discusses using technology to enhance classroom learning. It begins by covering understanding today's students and how their brains have been shaped by technology. It discusses how students are digitally literate and prefer visual, social and engaging learning. It then provides tips for using PowerPoint and websites in the classroom, like making sure websites are easy to navigate and use. It emphasizes balancing technology with other activities and using it interactively. Overall, the document stresses understanding today's digital students and using technology to enhance learning through engaging experiences.
The document discusses qualities that make a good reading list and how those qualities contribute to information literacy skills development. It provides 3 potential responses to questions asked of attendees:
1. A good reading list is clearly divided by topic and purpose, introduces academic journals, and demonstrates referencing skills to help students progress in their learning.
2. Academics can be supported to more fully engage with reading list development by collaborating with librarians, offering templates, and showing how lists can incorporate features that develop information literacy.
3. Letting academics know what librarians can offer in terms of current reading lists, curriculum support, and different referencing styles can encourage collaboration to benefit students.

This document discusses setting up and using Google Analytics and the Microsoft Silverlight Analytics Framework (MSAF) for tracking usage data in Windows Phone apps. It covers creating Google Analytics accounts and properties, configuring MSAF in an app, and tracking common events like pageviews and custom events. Useful tracking options are also outlined, like tracking app versions, reviews/sharing, and monetization events. Links to relevant resources are provided.
Trust is a subjective quality of a situation. It’s messy, situational and contextual. How can we make sense of it? How can we improve it? And: what impact would that have? Take away practical answers to these questions. Olaf boldly labeled himself the Trust Artist three years ago, starting a journey of curious discovery while helping to increase trust and confidence in people and systems. Now he’s ready to share what he’s learned. Integrating common sense, neurobiology and complexity science, experience how to work with trust.
Trust is often explained as something hard to build and easy to lose. I have found a more helpful perspective. We always have trust: I may trust you to do as you say, or trust you to lie to me - both are qualities of a situation and a relationship.
I will explore the different variants of trust in my talk that are relevant in business:
Confidence and how that effects choices we make, how we show up, how much of our creative potential we bring to work.
How culture can encourage confidence or dampen it, and how leadership choices set examples and boundaries for the choices of others.
Last but not least, how trust leads to clarity of intent - and how clarity of intent is a necessary condition for clarity of design.
The session will contain interactive exercises that people can take away and use at work or at home the next day. Practical methods to understand, assess and increase trust.
El documento es un homenaje de un equipo de fútbol llamado Poetas del Interior F.C. a su excompañero Bocha. Aunque Bocha ya no juega con el equipo, el documento expresa que su espíritu sigue presente con el equipo en cada partido y que siempre será recordado y extrañado por sus compañeros.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen restricciones a las transacciones con bancos rusos clave y la prohibición de la venta de aviones y equipos a Rusia. Los líderes de la UE esperan que las sanciones aumenten la presión económica sobre Rusia y la disuadan de continuar su agresión contra Ucrania.
This document describes the DELILA project, which aims to promote open sharing of information literacy and digital literacy teaching materials between the University of Birmingham and LSE. The project will audit existing materials, convert suitable materials to open licenses, customize repositories at each institution to host the materials, and disseminate the project outcomes. The goals are to provide openly accessible resources to support embedding digital and information literacy into teacher training programs and to serve as a model for collaboration between institutions.
The document outlines the production process for a print-based music magazine. It includes details on mood boards, mind maps, font and graphic layout choices, photography plans, equipment costs, personnel costs, production plans, and considerations around legal and ethical issues like copyright. Rough drafts and final drafts are presented for the front cover, double page spreads, and sample articles. The magazine aims to cover indie rock music and target an audience interested in that genre.
