The document summarizes Washington University Libraries' process of converting their 12,000 volume print reference collection to digital. They were given a mandate to reduce the print reference collection by 90% and a budget of $50,000. Librarians identified the most important print titles and searched for electronic counterparts. They learned that ebook pricing varies and collections are often better than individual ebooks. The process involved subject librarians identifying titles to keep in print or move to other locations, evaluating standing order titles for conversion to electronic, and addressing issues in converting over 11,000 volumes to digital.
A tale of two systems - Library Plus and DiscoverKatherine Rose
In the autumn of 2013 the University of Derby Library launched Library Plus, our name for the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), aimed exclusively at HE students. The Library launched a second EDS tool named Discover in 2015, used by FE and Access Students attending our partner organisation Buxton & Leek College. As a member of the working team involved in the implementation of Discover, I had the opportunity to help set up, design and test a new EDS tool from scratch. This presentation will describe how Discover was created, the problems I encountered during implementation, and the successes and lessons I learnt from introducing EDS in an FE institution. Discover also presented the Library with new opportunities to look at the functionality of Library Plus, and how to promote it more effectively to our HE students. It also highlights the challenges of maintaining two similar, but altogether different EDS systems, for the needs of an increasingly diverse student body.
The Mobile Playground: Can Databases and iPads Play Nice?onlinenw
Tablets present many opportunities to enhance and increase library instruction, but it is unclear if library databases can rise to the challenge of tablet use. In our study, we used an iPad and tested the functionality of specific tasks that may be used in a library instruction setting: presentation of the page, access to multimedia content, database specific tools, email full text, and separate app/installation requirements. This session will explore the nitty gritty of using tablets for library instruction, leading to a better understanding of the future of mobile tablet classrooms
Electronic Texts and Learning: Findings from Two StudiesNITLE
Trina Marmarelli, Instructional Technology Manager, Reed College
Since 2009, Reed College has been exploring the potential of e-reader and tablet technology to enhance teaching and learning. Our pilot studies of the Amazon Kindle DX and the Apple iPad as platforms for reading, annotating, and referring to scholarly texts have shown us that when quick and easy markup and navigation are possible, electronic texts facilitate both comprehension and discussion. I will discuss our studies’ findings and our current investigation of emerging e-text developments.

Open Badges Open Doors - Digital Workshopmeggiewright

The Mozilla Foundation’s Open Badges are a new technology that makes it possible for anyone to issue, earn, and display proof of an educational achievement. Open Badges are digital tokens, like merit badges you might receive in the real world. They can be displayed on websites, job sites, and social media. Badges can be used to tell a clear, verifiable story about learning accomplishments, something that degrees and resumes often fail to do. Badges are shaking up education wherever and whenever learning happens, including in libraries. In this digital workshop, find out how badges work, set up a “backpack,” earn your first badge, and think about how this technology may impact our institutions’ roles in the learning ecosystem.

Databases are a key part of any application. The storage subsystem contributes most to performance of the database. In recent days, new storage technologies like Solid State Storage (SSD) and high performance drives are becoming cheaper and more accessible, but it takes a lot of planning to use these technologies in a cost effective way for best price-performance.

Rethinking Library Acquisition: Demand-Driven Purchasing for Scholarly Books
Librarians must reconsider how they collect monographs. Traditionally, academic libraries purchase books to support their curricular and research needs, without much consideration of use. Even though 40% or more of books in most academic libraries never get used, this model makes sense in a world in which books go out of print, shelf space is available, and collection budgets are stable. But the world has changed: as publishers shift to an electronic model, books will not go out of print, libraries are under pressure to convert shelf space to study space; and libraries have fewer funds to purchase books annually. This panel will discuss approaches to demand-driven acquisition of monographs at two institutions: the University of Arizona and the University of Denver. While discussing plans being developed at these libraries, we will also look at implications for libraries in general, scholarly publishing, book vendors and academia.
Moderator: Becky Clark, Marketing Director, Johns Hopkins University Press

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
