Presentation about the work of CLIC given at the CLIC@10: Celebrating collaboration event on 9th February 2016, with Rebecca A. Evans (Cardiff Metropolitan University)
CLIC is a collaboration between nine libraries in Cardiff, Wales that provides training and networking opportunities for library staff. It began in 2006 with the goal of strengthening collaboration between Cardiff libraries. CLIC organizes various training events on topics like customer service, social media, and copyright. It also facilitates staff job swaps between libraries and maintains a website and social media accounts to share resources. Looking to the future, CLIC aims to explore how libraries can adapt to changing needs through continued collaboration on issues like digital collections and makerspaces.
Participant driven events: CLIC community experiencesCLICLibraries
TeachMeets and Library Camps (or ‘unconferences’) have both been gaining in popularity over the last few years, as events that are slightly outside of normal conferences or staff development events. A shared factor is that they are predominantly participant driven events.
TeachMeets involve short repeated sessions where participants share a teaching/presentation tip with members of the community.
Library Camps bring together a community of library staff for a day. These events take place outside of work time and are free of charge. The ‘community’ of staff who gather determine the course of the day and are all full participants. How does this ‘community’ differ from main stream library conferences, and what are the factors that draw people to participate in their own time?
In the last year CLIC, in conjunction with library staff in Wales, has hosted a TeachMeet and run a Library Camp; this session will talk about these kind of events and what benefits they provide to the community of library staff attending, as opposed to more traditional forms of training events.

Discovering hidden gems: cataloguing the Cardiff Rare Books Collectiondarklecat
The document discusses the cataloguing of the Cardiff Rare Books Collection. It describes how the collection was originally part of the Cardiff Public Library but was up for sale. In 2009, cataloguers from Cardiff University performed an initial scoping of the collection and found that most books were previously uncatalogued. The university later purchased the collection and it is now housed in their special collections library. Cataloguing the full collection posed various challenges around standards, conservation, and prioritization. The project aims to make the collection accessible to researchers through detailed cataloguing of individual rare books.
This document provides an overview of the acquisitions and cataloguing process at a university library. It describes the various steps involved, from when order slips arrive to processing new materials and making them available. This includes checking orders, deciding where to purchase from, receiving shipments, verifying materials, cataloging records, applying classification numbers, and preparing items to be shelved. It also discusses differences for special material types and electronic resources. The goal is to efficiently acquire and catalog new resources so they can be discovered and used.
This document summarizes amendments made to the Second Schedule of the Value Added Tax Act under Statutory Instrument No. 54 of 2014. It lists additions and removals of item codes for various goods, including chicken, fish, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, rice, oils, margarine, canned goods, sugar, and salt. Exempt supplies now also include a supply of prescribed pharmaceuticals.
This document provides information on selecting LED lighting. It compares the wattage of LED lights to other lighting types, noting that LED lights use significantly less energy. For example, a 10W LED floodlight replaces an 80W incandescent light. The document also lists reasons to use LED lighting, such as energy savings, lower maintenance costs, and meeting specialized needs. It emphasizes selecting high quality LED lights based on the manufacturer's experience, rigorous testing, thermal and optical design, and safety certifications. Longer manufacturer experience, sufficient test data on lifetime and performance, and big corporate customers indicate better quality.

Cross-sectoral staff development with CLICdarklecat
Presented with Kristine Chapman (National Museum Wales) at 'Together we are stronger' CILIP Career Development Group National Conference, 18th July 2012
The British Library has created a two-year Digital Scholarship Training Programme to teach their staff about digital tools and skills. They have developed fifteen one-day courses on topics like digitization, metadata, data visualization, and digital curation. Over 200 staff members have attended the courses so far. Feedback shows the courses are helping staff apply digital skills to their work and collaborations. The program aims to empower staff and facilitate new discoveries through digital scholarship.
The Mountain West Digital Library (MWDL) is a collaborative digital library that was formed in 2001. It aims to help more organizations digitize materials about the region's history and maintain a public portal called mwdl.org to provide access to these digital collections. The MWDL uses a three-tiered infrastructure model with partner institutions that own collections, hosting hubs that manage digitization and hosting, and the MWDL itself that aggregates metadata. It has over 164 partner institutions across 6 western states and provides services like training, hosting, and standards development to promote collaboration and access to digital collections in the region.

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.
Incorporating student content at city- Diane Bell, City UniversityALISS
The document discusses various ways that City University London Library incorporates student input and content. It describes projects like Read for Research, which allows students to recommend books for the library to purchase. It also discusses using student feedback to help develop resources like a researcher library guide and employability workshops. The library has experimented with crowdsourcing ideas from students for collection development and service design. However, there are challenges to incorporating all student suggestions due to limits on time, money, and other resources.
This document summarizes the outcomes of the 2016 planning summit between the State Library of Victoria and Public Libraries Victoria Network to plan their statewide collaboration for the next three years. The key initiatives identified were advocacy (45% weighting), reading and literacy (25% weighting), leadership and learning (15-20% weighting), and creative industries (10-15% weighting). The advocacy project will develop a statewide advocacy strategy and campaign to promote public libraries and influence decision-making. The summit achieved alignment across the library sector and a commitment to work together on the priority initiatives from 2017-2020.

State Library of Queensland Vision 2017 learning strategyJane Cowell
Vision 2017 was a collaboration between several Queensland library organizations to develop a strategy for library learning based on extensive statewide consultation. It identified key themes of libraries as connectors, technology trendsetters, incubators of ideas and creative community spaces. A training needs analysis found that library staff wanted more opportunities for learning but felt time poor and needing permission. Managers wanted staff with new skills like strategic planning and advocacy. The strategy prioritized a leadership program, innovation grants, and business workshops to support a culture of lifelong learning and higher order skills.
The document describes the Digital Scholarship Training Programme at the British Library. It aims to engage staff in digital research by offering 15 one-day courses covering topics such as social media, metadata, text encoding, and data visualization. The programme was designed based on a literature review and expert consultations. It has principles of delivering practical skills from a library perspective and highlighting the library's digital work. Initial feedback shows the courses successfully introduced staff to digital research concepts and tools.
The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data FutureNASIG
As libraries prepare to shift away from MARC to a linked data framework, new convergences in the metadata production activities of our libraries' technical services units, special collections, and digital libraries are becoming possible. In September 2015, the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI) was formed to leverage the existing collaboration between the Technical Services departments of Canada’s top 5 research libraries and the Library and Archives of Canada. Working cooperatively, our objective is to provide a path to linked data readiness for our institutions and leadership for the adoption of linked data by libraries across Canada. To achieve this goal, partner libraries are working across departments and institutions to create new workflows and tools and adapt to a new conceptual understanding of descriptive metadata. This presentation is a preliminary report on the progress made in five key areas of interest: digital collections, education and training, MARC record enhancement, evaluation of linked data tools and vendor supplied metadata. Building on existing initiatives, the CLDI is investigating the potential of integrating linked data elements into digitized collections, as well as MARC-based bibliographic and authority records, with the aim of fostering new and interesting pathways for resource discovery. To strengthen and expand the professional knowledge of staff, partner institutions are collaborating in the production of educational and training materials related to linked data principles and practices. The evaluation and potential development of linked data tools is another area of concentration. Finally, with the goal of changing workflows upstream, the CLDI is working to engage publishers and vendors in the linked data conversation. In addition to reporting on the work undertaken in the first year of the project, this presentation will also cover lessons learned and outline some of the new opportunities gained from working on a collaborative project that spans across multiple boundaries.

‘Recent trends in research staffing at academic libraries’ - John Cox (Nation...CONUL Conference
This document discusses recent trends in research staffing at academic libraries. It outlines drivers like emphasis on research and digital scholarship that are expanding the scope of library roles. This causes tensions between traditional functions like subject librarians and new specialist roles. Trends include libraries forming new multi-professional teams, expanding throughout the research lifecycle, and focusing on specialisms like digital publishing. The document also describes the model adopted at NUI Galway Library, including replacing subject librarians with functional teams and creating a Digital Publishing Team.

The document discusses strategies for cataloguing departments to increase their visibility within universities. It suggests attending and presenting at cataloguing and non-cataloguing conferences, joining working groups, blogging, publishing articles, and grabbing unexpected opportunities to promote the department. The goal is to move away from stereotypes of cataloguers being invisible and located away from the library, and instead be seen both physically within the university and virtually online through various publishing and social media activities.
The document discusses the Human Genetics Historical Library located at Cardiff University. It provides details about the library's collections, donors, key items including works by Galton, Lysenko, Koltsov, and Watson and Crick. The library houses resources on the history of genetics and heredity from 1557 to present day, including books, archives, photographs, and newspapers. It also notes recent developments like an exhibition in the library's building and the cataloguing of the Polani collection.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
