Enabling digital scholarship through staff training: the British Library's ex...Mia
A talk at the DH Lab at the University of Exeter in February 2019.
The British Library's Digital Scholarship Training Programme provides colleagues with the space and support to
develop the necessary skills and knowledge to support emerging areas of modern scholarship. Their familiarity with the foundational concepts, methods and tools of digital scholarship in turn helps promote a spirit of innovation and creativity, encouraging digital initiatives within the Library and with external partners. Finally, the programme of events helps nourish and sustain an internal digital scholarship community of interest/practice.
In this talk, Digital Curator Dr. Mia Ridge will share some of the lessons the team have learnt about delivering Digital Scholarship training in a library environment since it began several years ago, and some of the challenges they still face.

Designing User-Centered Discovery-and-Access Services for Enhanced Virtual Us...NASIG
Building user-centered discovery-and-access services to help users find their way through the information landscape is primarily a question of design. In 2010 the Technical Services at the University of Nevada Reno Libraries established its top strategic direction to understand users’ workflow and strive to build seamless information access services around their workflow. To advance this strategic direction, we implemented an innovative reorganization within Technical Services through creating a Knowledge Access and Discovery (KAD) Librarian from a vacant position and forming a new Design and Discovery (DD) department from existing staff. The KAD Librarian is responsible for leading library-wide efforts to optimize the power of the library’s suite of discovery and retrieval systems, and for leveraging relevant technologies to provide user-centric services for information access and discovery, with assistance from the staff in the DD department. This session will discuss the roles of the KAD Librarian and the new DD department, their projects and initiatives, and how they work with the library-wide cross-departmental Virtual User Experience Committee to advance Technical Services’ top strategic direction to meet the Internet-fueled do-it-yourself (DIY) mindset of today’s library users.

Research Software Engineering Inside and Outside the LibraryPatrick McCann
The importance of software to research is growing, which is reflected in the emergence of the Research Software Engineer (RSE) role and moves to recognise software as a research output. The Research Computing team at the University of St Andrews sits within the Digital Research division of the Library and seeks to support research in two principal ways. Firstly, the team are available as a development resource to researchers across the University; secondly, they are leading initiatives to understand and support better the breadth and depth of research software engineering activities across the University.

The world of research data: when should data be closed, shared or openheila1
That research data should be shared with the rest of the world has become almost evangelical in nature. This paper will try to answer the following questions:
• What are the (real) reasons for ‘forcing’ scientists to open their data, even if they are not ready to do so?
• What right have non-scientists (and scientists) to push indiscriminately for the sharing of data without taking the nuances of research into consideration?
Physical characteristics of research data before it can be shared
Modes of data sharing
Case study: public humiliation in the name of Open Science
Advantages and disadvantages of sharing research data
AI to the rescue of open research articles?

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• Digital scholarship technologies refer to the suite of digital
and computational tools currently being used to advance
scholarship in higher education.
• Digital Scholarship Centres are often created in academic
libraries in order to drive this transformation of scholarship.
• Many Digital Scholarship Centres developed as a result of
Digital Humanities (DH) activities. In South Africa DH is a
recent development and still in its infancy
• Some Digital Scholarship Centres are incorporating 3D
services at a later stage in their service offering. The
University of Pretoria developed a successful Makerspace
and this presentation will investigate if our Makerspace could
be used as the basis of a Digital Scholarship Centre.
5. Rationale
A hackerspace (also referred to as a
hacklab, makerspace or hackspace)
is a community-operated workspace
where people with common interests,
often in computers, machining,
technology, science, digital art or
electronic art, can meet, socialize and
collaborate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace

14. Rationale
The concept of digital scholarship has origins in the late
1990s in the UK. Originally referred to as e-science, the
idea of applying new technology and data analysis tools
to scholarship cycled through other names like cyber-
infrastructure and e-scholarship before landing on the
current umbrella term.
Academic libraries were quick to position themselves
as incubators for this transformation of research.
Through a collaborative approach, libraries developed
shared virtual and physical places for fostering scholarly
inquiry. http://cdn.nmc.org/media/2017-nmc-horizon-report-library-EN.pdf
“The digital scholarship centres (DSC) that have become
fashionable are often located in the library providing a
focus for this type of activity (broad set of digital services to
support research)” https://www.jisc.ac.uk/reports/international-advances-in-digital-scholarship

Library into a modern, dynamic library
23. Library services linked to roadmaps
• Roadmaps must be developed for:
• Research process (list of research steps)
• Post-graduate process (fly HIGHER document)
• Under-graduate process (FLY document?)
• Link library services to the different steps / stages of each
process
• Market these services effectively (e.g. the roadmaps with
the linked services)
