This document provides information on creative budgeting and fundraising strategies for libraries facing funding cuts. It discusses how public libraries rely heavily on local government funding but have seen budget cuts of 10-30% in some areas. Academic libraries also face state funding reductions. The document outlines cost-cutting measures libraries have implemented, such as reducing hours and staff. It also describes innovative fundraising ideas like library-themed mini golf tournaments and collaborations with sports teams. Throughout, the document emphasizes the importance of advocacy, volunteers, technology use, and consortia partnerships in helping libraries do more with less funding.

Diversity Equality Inclusive Initiatives in UCC and USCElaine Harrington
The goal of the International Librarians Networking Program (ILNP) is to assist librarians from around the world to network and expand their skills in librarianship through a cooperative and collaborative program. The program is designed to be self guided, allowing participants to form a collaborative relationship with one another for four months and the opportunity to continue networking after the program ends. The International Librarians Networking Program is part of the American Library Association International Relations Round Table.
The 2021 cohort comprised 62 people from 27 countries selected for pair networking. There had been 270 original applicants from 39 different countries. I was paired with Dr Win Shih, Director of Integrated Library Systems at the University of Southern California. The ILNP final project was to create an academic poster arising from the conversations during the four month period. We completed one on Diversity Equality Inclusion initiatives in UCC & USC.

John Cox NUI GalwayHow academic libraries position themselves in their parent institutions is vital to their recognition, resourcing and prospects. This paper will look at the progress, opportunities, barriers and dilemmas for libraries as they seek to position themselves optimally in the organisation. It will take account of both positive developments and negative factors, arguing that strong connectivity with the wider institutional agenda is key to changing perceptions and ensuring that the library is not taken for granted or sold short. Otherwise the library may represent a squeezed middle, feeling the pressure from all sides but not reaping the benefits of its transformation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.
