The document outlines the changing and expanding roles and responsibilities of a National Librarian in the digital age. It discusses that a National Librarian must now take on roles such as ensuring bibliographic control, managing international affairs, providing expert counseling, managing projects, handling establishment and administrative responsibilities, and adapting to new technologies. A National Librarian requires a diverse set of skills to effectively perform their duties, which now extend far beyond traditional librarian work to also include managerial, legal, financial, and technical competencies.

The ISSN Register was created by UNESCO and France in the 1970s to index and identify analogue and digital serial publications, i.e. journals, newspapers, magazines, and later, websites and databases worldwide to foster scientific cooperation at a time of Cold War between the Western and Soviet blocs. The technology available at that time did not allow wide access to this database which was made available to Member States and subscribers. Despite the emergence of the internet and the world wide web and the web 2.0, this situation continued until 2013, when the ROAD database of open access scientific resources was made available on the web. This movement to free up ISSN data has accelerated under the impetus of a new management and thanks to the support of member countries, leading to the opening of the ISSN Portal in 2018. Today, the ISSN Portal offers a suite of services to libraries, publishers and the information industry that aims to trace as accurately as possible the trajectory of serial publications from their birth to their long-term preservation. This presentation is intended to provide an overview of the progress made since the opening of ROAD in 2013 and an outline of the 2024 strategy.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
