The document summarizes JISC's digitization efforts and landscape in the UK. It notes that JISC has invested over £30 million in over 100 digitization projects since 2004. These projects digitize special collections from libraries and make them openly available when possible. Challenges include copyright, long-term sustainability, and bringing scattered digital collections together. Partnerships with other institutions and the public are important for content creation and access.

Spotlight on the digital, http://digitisation.jiscinvolve.org/wp/spotlight-on-the-digital/, is a collaborative project between Jisc, RLUK and SCONUL. It sought to assess the discoverability problem in relation to digitised collections and identify practical solutions to improve their discoverability both at national/above campus level and locally at institutional level.
These slides describe a range of above campus or national “solutions” that have been identified by the project and that could support the discoverability of digitised collections.
Some facts and figures about JISC digitisation impactPaolaMarchionni
The content of these slides (or better, the great majority of it) derives from an initial analysis of the results of a survey the JISC Content team circulated among previously funded projects in the areas of digitisation and content. Comments to each slide have been incorporated into the slides, as they are quite extensive. The survey aimed to find out more about how digitised collections were being used and the impact such projects have had on their hosting institutions and more broadly.
Community collections: what are the challenges? PaolaMarchionni
This brief presentation discusses some of the key challenges in setting up community collections/corwdsourcing projects. There are some notes attached to the slides with a bit of background on the projects mentioned on the slides.

Making an Impact: How Digitised Resources Change LivesSimon Tanner
This paper will draw upon the research done by the author from a wide number of sources and will provide a compelling account of the advantages of digitised content.
The paper will cover using case studies and exemplars from across the sectors information on:
Where the value and impact can be found in digitised resources,
What modes of value and impact are achievable, and
Who are the beneficiaries gaining from the impact and value?
Special attention is worth paying to the proposal of 5 modes of value for digitised resources. The basic value modes suggested here may act as a guide for future digitisation impact assessment. If these value models to society as a whole are satisfied then many other benefits identified in this paper will also accrue.
This document therefore provides strong information to support:
Fundraising and revenue development plans,
Audience development,
Designing evaluation and impact assessment,
Project planning, and
Planning activities to augment digitised resources.
The aim is to provide key information and strong exemplars for the following primary stakeholders:
Memory institutions and cultural heritage organisations such as libraries, museums and archives.
Holders and custodians of special collections.
Managers, project managers and fundraisers who are seeking to justify further investment in digitised resources.
Academics looking to establish digital projects and digital scholarship collaborations with collection owners.

Library labs as experimental incubators for digital humanities researchSally Chambers
This presentation was delivered as one of the keynotes at the 23rd International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2019) on 9-12 September 2019 at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University, Oslo, Norway. http://www.tpdl.eu/tpdl2019/keynotes/
Can we consider libraries as the laboratories of the humanities? If so, would they be good places to observe and better understand the everyday practices of the humanist at work? Similarly, can the notion of the laboratory as a place of scientific experimentation be applied to libraries as a place to experiment with digital cultural heritage collections? Could “library labs” enable humanities researchers, cultural heritage professionals and computer scientists to work more closely together to push the boundaries of contemporary humanistic enquiry? Using Bruno Latour’s anthropological observations of the scientific practices of biologists in their laboratory as a starting point, we will consider the concept of libraries as the laboratories of the humanities. Extending this concept further, we will consider, “what is a library lab?” by examining the activities of library labs internationally. Finally, we will introduce the emerging Digital Research Lab at the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) as part of a long-term collaboration with the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH). Using “KBR Labs” as a case study, we will consider the role that library labs could play as experimental incubators for digital humanities research.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

Digitisation in the UK and the JISC Content programme
1. Digitisation in the UK and the JISC Content programme
Paola Marchionni, Programme Manager Digitisation, JISC
University College London Summer school
24 May 2012
2. The digitisation landscape is varied: public and private, big
and small, organisations and individuals and they often merge
into each other.
3. Partnerships with
libraries all over
the world.
Focus on book
digitisation.
20m books
scanned as of
March 2012.
Over 100m books
still to do.
Microsoft stopped
its scanning
project in 2008.
4. Scholarly publishers:
JISC Collections purchases and licences
content for the UK HE and FE sector.
Journals, special collections, ebooks...
from broad coverage (eg EEBO, over
100,000 books between 1473-1700 ) to
niche content (Pidgeon Digital)
Negotiated deals with over 100
publishers.
5. Museums, libraries
and archives digitise
their collections to
increase access for all,
support learning and
engage new audiences.
In the UK memory
institutions house over
500m books, records and
objects, but only 5-10%
has been digitised.
British Library – Virtual Books
Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery –
Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource
6. AHRC grant for
digitisation of criminal
court cases, Old Bailey
Public and private funding bodies support
digitisation with different priorities, eg research,
lifelong learning, cultural heritage, education...
HLF grant for building and
digitisation of
Tate Archive
Private donation to set up
the Cambridge Digital
Library
7. People do their
own
digitisation:
The Great Archive
collected and
digitised 1000s of
WW1 items from
the general public
in the UK and
Europe
10. www.jisc.ac.uk
JISC receives funding from the UK government mainly
through the Higher Education Funding Council for England
(HEFCE) and often its Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish
equivalent and funds:
UK HE internet and Innovative ICT Services such
email network, projects for as advice and
JANET teaching, research guidance, and
and learning data centres
11. www.jisc-content.ac.uk
The JISC Digitisation and Content programme
focuses on creating and enhancing content for use in
research, teaching and learning in Higher Education
and encourages partnerships within and outside HE.
Since 2004: over £30m and over 100 projects:
•Digitisation of special and archival collections
•Open Educational Resources (OER)
•Enriching existing collection
•Clustering existing digital content
•User generated content/community engagement
•Developing skills and strategies
12. JISC Content programme 2011-2013
Just under £6m - 24 projects:
Strand A: Digitisation and OER Creation
small scale digitisation and creation of learning resources for courses
Strand B: Mass Digitisation
large scale digitisation of collections for research
Strand C: Clustering Digital Content
bringing together existing but scattered digital content
JISC Content programme Netvibes site with projects’
blogs http://bit.ly/xfy1Qh
13. JISC awards grants by issuing Calls to the HE
community and selecting the best projects.
All projects have special and, often unique, collections
to digitise, but they have to make a strong case about
the value and potential use of their content to
others as well.
Projects also have to show innovation, create content
that is legal, standards based, open, if possible, and
sustainable.
Partnerships are
encouraged.
.
14. JISC Film and Sound Think Tank http://bit.ly/KeLHQo
This short video explores many of the issues
projects face when digitising content and
making it available.
15. There is a huge amount of content that can be
digitised, so institutions need to prioritise
selection and tailor it to users’ needs.
Freeze Frame identified UK The
courses which would benefit form Online Theatre Histories Archive
their polar images collection, eg. embedded theatre archive
geology, geography, health, resources in courses/modules
photography... across four partner universities
16. Often projects don’t own the copyright to the
material they want to digitise and have to undertake
lengthy negotiations to licence the content for
their users.
Often because of copyright reasons collections are
only accessible to universities behind
password.
However, there is also a strong drive towards
openess at the moment and the use of Creative
17. InView: over 2000 non-
fiction films from the archives
of the British Film Institute
available to UK universities
behind authentication.
However, a lot of
content is available as
Open Educational
Resources under
Creative Commons
licences.
www.myleicestershire.org
Many of the projects
funded by JISC make
content freely and
openly available.
18. Digital resources are often built in isolation to other,
relevant, collections, which causes fragmentation.
JISC projects cluster
existing content to
provide a seamless
search across
disparate collections.
Also, by making data
openly available projects
increase the chance of their
content being used by
others.
19. Locating London Past brings together 17th and 18th C GIS-enabled data
sets (criminal, archaeological, social, population...) and visualises them on
historical and contemporary maps of London.
An API allows geo-referenced material to be exported and re-used in Google
maps mash-ups and other GIS environments.
20. Partnerships are a good way to source
content not in the public domain or difficult to
access, expand audiences, combine
different expertise and strengths to create
innovative content.
New Connections
BT Archive and University of Coventry
Fashion designer’s 3D metalwork collection –
Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection – Museums Sheffield and
Zandra Rhodes and the University for the Sheffield Hallam University
Creative Arts
21. People, whether the public at large or specific
communities, are increasingly becoming
partners in content creation.
Since 2010 over 1600 volunteers
have helped transcribe
45% of the 7,464 manuscripts
uploaded to the UCL
Transcribe Bentham website
A small group of
supertranscribers
(“gangsourcing”) participates
actively gaining “status” through
competitive element.
Value of this project: no Research
Associate would be paid to do this
kind of work.
22. JISC-funded project part of
the Citizen Science Alliance, a
transatlantic collaboration of
universities and museums
who are dedicated to
involving everyone in the
process of science.
The Old Weather project asks volunteers to help scientists
record weather observations of Royal Navy ships during WW1.
Transcriptions will contribute to climate model projections
and historians will be able to track ship movements and study the
stories of the people on board.
23. Once grant funding terminates, collections
have to be sustained, both technically and
editorially. This is arguably the biggest
challenge institutions face when creating digital
resources.
P artnerships with the
commercial sector
Host institutions play a key provide an alternative:
role in supporting own Bodleian Library John

Revenue generation models such as
Google Ads can contribute to the
running costs of maintaining a service,
as in the case of the Vision of Britain
website.
