Stay Alert! Keeping Your Humanities Research Up-to-DateKaren Reiman-Sendi
Workshop description: Tired of spending your time surfing the web for current research in your humanities discipline? Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the amount of new scholarly literature created in your field? During this hands-on workshop, we'll talk about email alerting services and RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") feeds, and how these tools can help you keep up-to-date in the humanities. Using selected library resources, such as the library catalog and library databases along the lines of MLA International Bibliography and Historical Abstracts, we'll demonstrate some strategies for collecting wide-ranging scholarly information into your email inbox and into an RSS feed reader.

The Long Arm of the Law, presentation by Bill Hannay, Schiff Hardin LLPCharleston Conference
You can run, but, really, you can't hide from the long arm of the law. This fact is known to Kenny Rogers -- and to all librarians. For example, many basic library operations are entwined with copyright law, which enables us to make materials available to readers and to provide for long-term access. And copyright is but one of many legal constructs that impacts 21st century library activities and practices. In this digital age, the law is evermore a factor, ensnaring us in the complications of regimes developed largely for the print environment. Today, all are working to develop new "rules" governing a transformed age of content creation, delivery, and sharing. The 2010 Charleston conference presented for the first time an expert session on the "long arm," featuring attorneys who specialize in competition and copyright. Two of them (William Hannay and Lauren Schoenthaler) return this year, now joined by Jack Barnard (University of Michigan), to bring the Charleston audience up to date on leading developments in cases such as Sky River, the Google books settlement (still unresolved), Georgia State (reserves), John Wiley (first sale), and the FTC's investigation of Google. Hear their concerns and insights about electronic price-fixing, orphan works, web accessioning and downloading -- and anything else of importance that can be accommodated in a mere 75 minutes. After the presentations, there will be some time for audience engagement. This session once again promises to be a winner: educational, riveting, challenging, and stimulating.
Recent Developments for Copyright in Higher Education (December 5, 2012)lmd_presentations
In the past year courts have handed down dramatic decisions in a number of major cases across the nation. These decisions have changed the way we understand fair use, streaming media, archiving, and accessibility in libraries. Kevin Smith, Duke’s Director of Copyright and Scholarly Communication and William Cross, NCSU’s Director of the Copyright and Digital Scholarship Center, will lead a discussion about these cases and the far-reaching impact they will have on libraries and library services in the 21st century.
"What Every Library Worker Should Know," #1 in the Copyright Basics Webinar series, practicing librarians and library staff will learn what's clear on copyright basics, what's not, and how to minimize risk. This webinar will cover how to identify public domain materials, introduce the "library exception" to copyright law that allows libraries to make preservation or replacement copies of materials and offer interlibrary loan, and will provide a simple form to file with the U.S. Copyright Office to limit the library's exposure when patrons use library materials.
Leveraging and interpreting library assessment data 4 17 2016Elizabeth Brown
Assessment data can be collected from a multitude of sources from within and outside your library. It’s not just about the size of collections, or number of reference transactions, or hours a library is open. This presentation will review some of the key places assessment information can be gathered and provide strategies to creatively think about assessment data collection for your library.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
