Jola G.B. Prinsen - Implementing a cloud-based library management and search ...jprinsen
In the summer of 2011, Tilburg University’s Library & IT Services decided to replace their current integrated library system with OCLC’s cloud-based WorldShare Management Services (WMS) system. Their current end-user environment (in-house developed) was to be replaced by OCLC’s WorldCat Local (WCL). WMS and WCL were planned to go live on June 1, 2012. Tilburg University would be the first Dutch and European university to go live with WMS.
After describing the reasons for Tilburg University to select these systems, Jola Prinsen will present the university’s business case for this project (what the project aims to achieve) and the steps which were taken so far. The first stage of the project aimed at analyzing the current workflows at Tilburg University’s library and determining whether these workflows were supported by the new WMS/WCL systems. On the basis of the resulting gap and impact analyses, in March 2012 the project board decided to go live with WCL in the summer of 2012. The analysis phase for WMS was extended. This latter system is now expected to go live in January 2013.
Jola’s focus will not be on WMS’ and WCL’s functionality, but rather on the practice and challenges of implementing a (cloud-based) library management and search system. She will pay attention to what went well so far and what didn’t. Issues she will address, include the project organization, loading of metadata, linking to full-text, phasing out local systems, staff training, and communication to end-users.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
I gave this talk in May 2018 at Lumen Christi International High School, Uromi, Edo State, Nigeria.
It was their Career Week and the talk was meant to help students entering their career choice class/year make the right career choice, as that would determined the subjects they would be taught for the rest of their stay in secondary school.
Interestingly, the event was attended by students from neighbouring secondary schools, and they were grateful for the insight into the LIS profession, as well as the opportunity.
Thanks to the School Librarian and Management for the opportunity.

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
