The document provides guidance on evaluating the reliability of information found online for school assignments. It recommends paying attention to a website's domain extension (.edu, .gov, .org are generally more reliable than .com, .net, etc) and checking who created the site and for what purpose. While Wikipedia can be a good starting point, it should not be cited directly in school assignments since anyone can edit pages. Students are advised to verify any questionable information with librarians, teachers or other experts.
Book discovery

Intermediation In The New User Environment
The document discusses how users are bypassing traditional library and publisher interfaces and intermediaries by using search engines, RSS feeds, blogs, and other tools.

The rise of social software, mashups, and users tagging and sharing information also allows users to become their own intermediaries and bypass traditional intermediaries.

The panelists, who are library directors and managers, will discuss how they knew they were ready for a career change, how they thought about risk, the resources that helped them transition, lessons they learned, surprises they encountered, how their work has changed, and advice for others considering a transition. The panel hopes to help others navigate organizational changes by sharing their experiences and lessons from their own professional transformations.

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.
