Think globally service locally part 1 lit rev of intl students and lib use
The document summarizes recent literature on international students' library use. It finds that while international student populations are increasing at U.S. universities, there are still gaps in language proficiency and cultural understanding of library resources. International students desire targeted library instruction to learn basics of U.S. library use. They tend to use libraries more frequently than domestic students as a study space and for resources like catalogs and printed materials. The document suggests libraries provide outreach to international students and collaborate with student offices. It also recommends keeping up with library practices in other countries and gathering feedback to improve services for international patrons.

Promoting information literacy in the academic library
This document discusses promoting information literacy in academic libraries. It defines information literacy as the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. Information literacy is important for students in their academic studies and personal lives due to the rapid increase in available information.

The document proposes three solutions libraries can use to promote information literacy: approachability, appeal, and advocacy. Approachability involves engaging activities to encourage positive interactions with libraries. Appeal means using new technologies like mobile and web 2.0 to reach students. Advocacy promotes library services through social media like YouTube and blogs.

2) Thank you emails are usually best as they allow for a fast response, easy customization, and proofreading. Letters are better if building rapport, for small employers, or when a decision will take over 2 weeks.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
