This presentation highlights the numerous professional development and continuing education opportunities for information professionals offered at the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University.
The school’s director, Dr. Sandra Hirsh, reviews the skillsets today’s employers seek in applicants, discusses the growing need to re-tool and update skills, and addresses why information professionals should choose the SJSU information school for their career development needs.
Professional development opportunities highlighted include a fully online Post-Master’s Certificate in Library and Information Science program that features seven career pathways, fully online graduate-level courses open to everyone, virtual colloquium presentations (FREE online seminars), and MOOCs (FREE online courses), and more!
This presentation was originally given on March 25, 2014, during a virtual meeting of corporate librarians.
TLA 2016 Conference--Transform your library space from a repository of resources to a dynamic and adaptable learning space that meets the diverse needs of students.
Presentation given at the Mobius 2014 conference. This talk outlines paths collection management librarians can utilize to address the acquisitions and management of library materials. Collection managers have robust and extensive networks of talented colleagues, who help enrich and vitalize the daily operations and processes undertaken at any given library. Jill Emery will present ways in which collection managers can leverage these networks to enhance and create strategies to develop better information communication both within and outside the library. By becoming a network center, collection managers can create a dynamo effect that spreads out through the library organization as a whole.

KESIMPULAN
• Perkembangan teknologi baru dan media baru sesungguhnya bisa membuka peluang baru bagi perpustakaan untuk lebih berkembang dan berperan dalam membantu pemustaka.
• Perkembangan baru dalam pembelajaran online, pandemi covid yang memaksa semua serba online, juga semakin menekankan pentingnya pustakawan untuk melakukan embedded librarianship.
• Tren untuk berbagi sumber daya ilmu pengetahuan dalam bentuk Open Content dan Open Educational Resources saat ini semakin marak; dan perpustakaan sangat penting perannya dalam mempromosikan inisiatif ini kepada civitas academicanya.
• Teknologi AI sudah bukan masa depan lagi, dan sudah terjadi dan dimanfaatkan saat ini; perpustakaan bisa memanfaatkannya untuk banyak fungsi, salah satunya personalisasi layanan.

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.

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

43. DRIVING THE LIBRARY AND STUDENT LEARNING
CENTRE WITH THE ACADEMIC PLAN AS OUR GPS
To borrow from Stewart Brand…
I believe it is also possible to design strategic plans so that it
doesn’t matter if you are wrong
Sometimes your GPS leads you to a dead end. You have to
recalculate…but usually new paths open up as you travel that
you didn’t know existed when you started your journey
“To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive” – Robert Louis Stevenson
“Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans” – John Lennon
44. RYERSON PRESIDENT SHELDON LEVY’S ADDRESS TO
