Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

26. Subscribed Collections Summary
• 33% Ebrary : 27% in Common : 40% EBSCO
• Ebsco’s advantage comes from older ebooks
• 1980-1999
• Many publishers subscription ebooks are
only available through one aggregator
• Ebsco – ABC Clio, Nova Science, J. Benjamin, SAGE, etc.
• Ebrary – Nat. Acad., Oxford, Palgrave, World Bank, etc.
• Subject coverage is relatively similar
27. Subscription cost less than a penny on
the dollar per year!
Subscribable Ebrary Ebooks = 77,482
purchase price $5,670,776 (single-user price)
≤ $3.75/FTE… so for 5000 fte = $18750/year
% of list price per year = 0.33% (multi-user price)
Years to buy = 300+ years!
Ebsco subscription pricing is similar…
Q.E.D. If you are investing in aggregator ebooks,
you should seriously consider both subscription
packages, and avoid buying individual books that
are (or will be!) available by subscription…
This presentation repeats a study we presented at the 2008 Charleston Conference.Available: http://www.slideshare.net/john_mcdonald/charleston2008-ebook3
UPCC = University Press Content ConsortiumUPSO = University Press Scholarship Online
Details on the 2008 study.
The 2012 study used different methods to ask the same question.Four of the five libraries from the first study were includedWe started with the OCLC xISBN & WorkIDcrosswalks from the startWe used ebook knowledgebase data instead of vendor source files**One aggregator expressed concern that the KB based numbers looked quite low—We are validating our results by acquiring all of the source files direct from the aggregators to determine whether the 2012 marketplace (and match rate) is significantly underrepresented by the knowledgebase data.
C was correct; More 35-50%Using our updated protocol, 24% of 2006 (2008’s study) pub year print books were available electronically, while37% of 2011 (2012’s study) pub year print purchases were available Not status quo, but not a quantum leap either!The increase from 24 to 37% does represent more than a 50% increase…*(subject to validation using ebook aggregator source files)
We were interested in the perceived ‘quality’ of the available ebooks (some have speculated that ebook vendors are publishing lots of books but of lower quality).Availability does appear to vary by YBP select rating- E book versions were more likely to be available for research and specialized books than for Basic or Supplementary. There were no obvious differences between the two year samples in this comparison (data not shown). We speculated that a large portion of the books in the two Basic categories are University Press publications that are less likely to be in aggregator lists.
D – 100% was the correct answer (see next slide)Follow-up work based on aggregator-direct lists may show it to be even greater
2008 inGreenvs 2012 in brown Percentages are portion of the total marketplace in that year (for green bars the proportion of the tallest green bar, and likewise with brown)Greatest market share increase was 22% ebrary, while Ebsco/Net Library decreased by 17%,perhaps not surprisingly given that their 77% share of the market in 2008 was based on their unique collection of older books rather than on that great a difference in acquisition of the current year’s monographic output. Average market share has increased slightly from 47 to 52%, but the range has dropped by 2/3rds (ie from 46 to 16%) If you were making a decision in the past on an aggregator based on the relative size of their collections, those differences are decreasing over time.So if each aggregator covers 50 % of the marketplace, it follows that two should cover most books, right?...
Unfortunately, that’s not the case--nearly 50% of aggregator-hosted ebooks are still offered by only ONE vendorAvailability across aggregators has increased significantly however: in 2008 only 1 in 25 books were available from all 4 whereas in 2012, 1 in 5 is available from all four
The vast majority of ebooks in aggregated products are those published in the past 15 years.with Ebsco/Net library showing clear dominance in terms of # of books offered each year for 1990-2004. The past 8 years (2005-2012) are worth looking at it more detail.
In 2008, MyILibrary (in blue) moved from the middle to the bottom in terms of coverage of the most recent years’ books, Starting in 2010, Ebrary (in green) outranked its competitors, and Ebsco has fallen in line with EBL over the past two years.
In 2011 Ebsco launched its own large academic subscription optionThe first competitor for ebrary’s Academic Complete subscription collection
Publication dates of subscribed collections mirror the full collectionsEbsco has many more books from the 80s & 90sWhen we take a closer look at the most recent decade…
Ebrary has a small percentage more from the first half of the decadeAnd things seem to be evening out for the most recent five yearsThere appear to be signs of a bit more differentiation for 2010 and 11 as the number of books in common is a lower proportion of the wholeAnd as expected there is about a year and a half lag before ebooks are added to these collections
The key point here is that there are a number of cases where particular publisher imprints are only listed for one aggregatorThough one might expect that this is the result of “exclusive” subscription deals, it is more likely caused by the newness of the Ebsco subscribed collection AND in some cases different publisher naming conventionsFor example ebrary does have books from Elsevier Science but uses the many subdivisions rather than grouping themThis same data is presented on the following two slides with a focus more on the publishers and less on the pattern
Keeping that caveat in mind, the blue and green bars here show cases were a publisher is listed in only one of the two collectionsAnd bar charts show the relative numbers for the publishers that appear in both collections
Keeping that caveat in mind, the blue and green bars here show cases were a publisher is listed in only one of the two collectionsAnd bar charts show the relative numbers for the publishers that appear in both collections
Based on LC class distribution to examine subject coverageOverall the distribution is quite similarEbraryACmay lean slightly toward science (see Medicine, Science and Technology) while EbscoES has more books in the humanities & social sciences
The data presented on this slide argue STRONGLY for subscribing to BOTH collections, given the differentiation presented in the previous slidesInstead of a 10 or 20 year period of subscription matching the purchase price, it would take 300(!) years of subscription costs to own the same contentFurthermore and perhaps equally important(!) books in the subscribed collections have unlimited simultaneous use, while purchased books from these two vendors are limited to a single simultaneous user (unless a premium is paid for each book)
70-85% of the ebooks available in these University press collections are available from the major aggregators (albeit with more restrictive DRM)
But of course they represent only a tiny portion of what is available in the overall marketplaceJSTOR offerings are just becoming available as we speak
Each color slice shows the proportion of collection by decade or century*from hathitrust.org website [http://www.hathitrust.org/visualizations_dates]
Caveat– this only reflects relative size -- its not book to book matching as in prior comparisons…that’s a next step
Not a fan of 3d graphs, except in this case where the EBAM is effectively carpet on the floor that wouldn’t be visible if you looked at it end on.Although some currently question the value of our owned print collections, potential future subscription models from Hathi or Google (should copyright and royalty issues prove to be solvable) would definitely call into question the value of ownership of aggregator hosted ebooks that are subsumed within them
