Presentation by Lynn Silipigni Connaway - June 2009, Glasgow University Library: "The library is a good source if you have several months": making the library more accessible
In 2017 the Economist magazine, in a much quoted article said, ‘the world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Smartphones and the internet have made data abundant, ubiquitous and far more valuable”. While data may be abundant, in the world of libraries, publishers and intermediaries it is typically siloed and the value and potential to improve services has barely begun to be realised. On their own, data from libraries, publishers or conventional intermediaries will not be enough to deliver the kinds of predictive analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that emerging. Commercial companies and sector bodies like Jisc have begun to develop platforms that make use of data from a variety of sources. This will be an intensely competitive environment and it is not yet clear who the winners will be for, as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the world economic
Just how well do you know the people who use your library? Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and co-author of Networked: The New Social Operating System, shares the latest data about how our clientele are interacting with information technology. Learn about patron preferences and behaviors during this program.
We participated in an Information master's program assigned to a project in Trivandrum, India. We were tasked with providing assistance on the management of a library in a college specifializing in teaching Deaf students as well as research in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology. They have a very small collection of about 2000 books and 24 journals, and no website prior to our arrival.
Our understanding was that it would be difficult to make correct assumptions about the academic and technological environment given lack of experience in the region and the culture, as well as working with students with disabilities in general. We were not prepared for the rudimentary or non-existent policies and infrastructure that we met once we actually arrived. This presentation would detail the strategies of assessment and decision-making we employed to work with their available resources as well as deal with the lack of buy-in from various stakeholders. Among these include user interviews in translation, collecting and incorporating examples from other library sites in building a new website, and above all trying to figure out ways to communicate the importance of working with library online resources upon a population that is relatively new to them.

Libraries have an emerging role in advocating for and influencing
the development of strategy, policy and infrastructure around
digital scholarship and open publishing within their institutions.
This case study will explore how we have approached this at
institutional level by developing a strategic business plan for
University senior management, and also on a practical level by

Book Sprint to publish an open access monograph in four days,
providing opportunities to engage with alternative approaches to

Developing & Running your own E-reader Seminars and Gadget LabsSarah Felkar
Presentation for the Netspeed 2012 Conference in Edmonton, AB.
Brief abstract: Often, one-on-one instruction is not the most efficient nor enjoyable
method of helping your staff or community learn more about technology. And as Ereaders, tablet computers, smartphones and other gadgets grow in number and type
library staff need to have ways of addressing questions about these devices.
Whether you are a highly tech-skilled library or feel a bit behind the times, this
hands-on workshop is designed to help you best serve your community’s needs.
This session will:
• Help you assess your staff or community’s needs
• Help you decide the best teaching option for each kind of audience or device
• Give you a working knowledge of a number of popular devices
• Suggest ways to evaluate your programs
• Give you an opportunity to discuss ideas and opportunities with other attendees

Sponsored by LLAMA SASS Emerging Trends Committee
Presented at the American Library Association Annual 2015 Conference in San Francisco, CA.
Libraries are continually developing new programs and services to meet the needs of their community. But designing for the future can be challenging. How do you identify where to make changes? How do you make changes without taking on too much risk? How do you measure and evaluate the success of new library programs and services?
This workshop is an interactive experience, guiding teams through a process to find solutions for real library challenges and problems. Participants work in teams and be guided through activities to identify innovative solutions, set goals, and manage risk. Activities will help participants develop design thinking skills and a growth mindset.
Participants walk away with basic principles of innovative design processes. Participants gain confidence and feel empowered to think about innovation and innovative ideas in their libraries. As a result, they will become better risk takers and be able to develop better solutions.

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.

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick
walls are not there to keep us out. The brick
walls are there to give us a chance to show how
badly we want something. Because the brick
walls are there to stop the people who don’t want
it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other
people.”
“Experience is what you get when you didn't get
what you wanted. And experience is often the
most valuable thing you have to offer.”
