The Future Of Human Computer Interaction And Its Implications For Library Ser...Matthew Hamilton
This was my first presentation for my first MLS class, LI802. Essentially it was an introduction for non-techie, brand new MLS students about the need to understand technology and the changes it will bring not only in user expectations, but in information use as well.
Slides from my talk at the Higher Education Academy event held in Oxford.

Our world is changing and it can be difficult to process it all. A stimulating library can help make sense of these changes and inspire library users to participate in this era of continuous change. Libraries are enhancing people’s lives through emerging technologies and library programming. Learn how libraries are constructing an environment conducive to information discovery, sharing, and lifelong learning and glimpse the future of what libraries can become.

IAML Future of music in public librariesJohan Mijs
Presentation on the future of digital music in public libraries, July 28 2011 at IAML Dublin. Updated on September 19 2012 for a presentation at the German IAML division in Frankfurt
Mary Madden and Kathryn Zickuhr presented "Public libraries in the digital age" to the Chief Offices of State Library Agencies at their spring meeting. They presented findings on the rise of e-reading, including reading-device ownership and the general reading habits/preferences of Americans.
Today’s students employ diverse search strategies to discover content in support of their studies. With search results serving as the staple of the digital ecosystem, creating that experience hinges on a deep understanding of user needs at that critical juncture. While usage metrics may reveal the user’s clicks, the story behind those choices may remain untold. And as usability testing proves useful in identifying areas for improvement, going off-script to capture user pain points is not always sanctioned. Looking outside the confines of traditional research methods allows capturing the “free-range” insights of today’s researchers. This presentation will feature the experiences of the User Research Team at EBSCO Information Services as they set out to illuminate the true user journey of scholarly research. Attendees will learn what what page designs elicit smiles, smirks, confusion or delight. Learnings from ethnographic studies will be shared, with insights about the complex feelings students have about searching for information and their diverse strategies for evaluating search results.

“I Can Do It All By Myself”: Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating ...Patrick "Tod" Colegrove
Co-presented June 23, 2012, with Bohyun Kim (Florida International University) and Jason Clark (Montana State University) at ALA Annual 2012. Primary upload at http://www.slideshare.net/bohyunkim/i-can-do-it-all-by-mysef-exploring-new-roles-for-libraries-and-mediating-technologies-in-addressing-the-diy-mindset-of-library-patrons
Abstract:
Users are increasingly self-reliant in their information seeking behavior. Where is the place for the personal interaction with librarians in this new paradigm? Join an active conversation to explore (a) What the DIY user behaviors are, (b) how libraries can respond to them in terms of new services, fiscal and personnel resources, and technologies, and (c) how to leverage technology to create online or face-to-face mediation opportunities that would be welcomed by users.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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

2. Background: choice and change
• Choice, digital transition,
unbelievable access, Google &
disintermediation transformed
information landscape
• Because so much information
seeking goes on remotely and
anonymously we have not woken
up to this yet. Yet digital
transition has further to go
• Still working on the basis of old
paradigm – risk of decoupling
• Keep looking at the future, and
blaming the kids…dumbing down
dumbing
3. What have we learnt?
• Seven years of building an evidence base from
the digital footprints people leave behind
• What people do and not what they say they do
• And what they do follows….
4. Tremendous activity and going up and up
• Access main driver. More people
drawn into information net (all
librarians now!) & existing users can
search more freely & flexibly.
• Lots of ‘noise’, which unfortunately
regarded as demand & satisfaction.
– majority of users robots (HofC)
– of human users many are
‘foreign’
foreign’
– all have very short attention
spans
• They do it all the time - use well into
the night and over the weekend
5. Consumers like it simple
• Users avoid carefully-crafted discovery systems.
Everyone likes Google – Physicists and Historians,
included.
• Advanced search used rarely, and hardly at all by users
in highly-rated research institutions.
• Add-ons and innovations distinctly a minority sport –
email alerts, VLEs, blogs. And as for federated
searching forget it!
6. They are promiscuous
• Around 40% do not come back
• Choice, shop around, lured
away be search engines
• Poor retrieval skills (2.3words)
and leave memories in
cyberspace add to ‘churn’ rate
• Direct result of end-user
checking
• Younger they are the more
promiscuous they are; men
more promiscuous than
women!
7. They bounce
• Over half visitors view 1-3
pages from thousands
available. Bounce in and
then out again – related to
promiscuity.
• Bounce because of search
engines, massive choice, an
‘acceptance of failure’ -
shortage of time & overload
• Bouncing not always a sign
of failure but can be
• Younger people bounce
more
8. The horizontal has replaced the vertical
Promiscuity and bouncing creates
flicking. Victoria!
Hoover through titles, contents
pages & abstracts at a huge rate
and its pleasurable:
• I can update my knowledge very
quickly…the sheer number of books
is overwhelming, if I can look at
them very quickly – you know within
15 mins, I can look at 3 or 4 books –
and get some very superficial
knowledge of what is in them,
nevertheless it improves my
scholarship, because in the back of
my mind, these books already exist
9. Viewing has replaced reading
• Power browsing
• Have been conditioned by
emailing, text messaging
and PowerPoint
• Don’t view an article online
for more than 2-3 minutes
• If its long, either read the
abstract or squirrel it away
for a day when it will not be
read (digital osmosis)
• Go online to avoid reading!
10. Consumers want ‘immersive’ social
information environments
• Social networking starts at home!
• Returned book trolley!
11. Brand is more complicated than you think
• Difficult in cyberspace:
responsibility/authority almost
impossible in a digital environment
– so many players, so many brands
• Do librarians have brand or
authority?
• Also what you think is brand is not
what other people think. Tesco!
12. So what does it all mean?
• The study confirms what many are
beginning to suspect: that the web is
having a profound impact on how we
conceptualise, seek, evaluate and use
information. What Marshall McLuhan
called 'the Gutenberg galaxy' - that
universe of linear exposition, quiet
contemplation, disciplined reading and
study - is imploding, and we don't
know if what will replace it will be
better or worse. But at least you can
find the Wikipedia entry for
'Gutenberg galaxy' in 0.34 seconds
13. Conclusion
• Was it always so and worked with the wrong (ideal)
models?
• We are all the Google Generation
• Fast information for a fast food generation
• ‘I’ information rather then ‘peer’ information
• Understanding information seeking a prerequisite to
determining outcomes…access is not an outcome
• Are we really benefiting from the information society
and always on. Fast forwarding the e-citizen to what?
• And whose responsibility – libraries decoupling and
publishers the new librarians?
