Young and Wired: How today's young tech elite will influence the libraries of...Edwin Mijnsbergen
Libraries are the living, breathing internet that existed long before the digital network that we know today. They are the connected nodes of information and community exchange that we have relied on to communicate, collaborate, share resources and preserve knowledge in our societies for centuries.
But there are concerns about the future of physical libraries, given that so many of us have easy access to virtual libraries of information on our computers at home. Recent Pew Internet Project research examines technology use by teenagers and suggests how the behavior and expectations of young internet users might shape the libraries of the future.
Mashup of several of my presentations regarding network literacy. This is for EDST499k, a social media seminar I am facilitating in Kelowna - UBC-Okanagan.
Celebrate change: let’s make the whole school a library. Keynote presented at School Library Association of Victoria conference March 2010, this presentation explores the rationale for extending school library services and influence beyond the physical space of the library, and to identify the benefits to learning and teaching (and student engagement) that will flow from such an approach.

Wikis allow multiple users to edit the same web page while tracking individual contributions. Their inherent simplicity gives users direct access to their content, which is crucial in group editing or other collaborative activities. But how can you use wikis to effectively provide collaborative opportunities in the classroom and elsewhere on campus? How do wikis compare with other collaboration applications? This session will take a look at the use of wikis in online courses and discuss other effective uses.

Cultura digitale, la grammatica di internet tra informazione, cultura e intra...Lorenzo Fabbri
La grammatica di internet tra informazione, cultura e intrattenimento. Un po' per via della diffusione degli smartphone, un po' grazie all'incessante lavoro di standardizzazione e diffusione operato dalle multinazionali del digitale, Internet è oggi sempre più popolare e gode di una legittimazione sociale senza precedenti. Il seminario è dedicato a discutere alcune delle regole e dei principi culturali su cui si basa internet, nella sua attuale forma, partendo da esempi e casi di studio concreti. Analizzeremo il caso di Mymovies (il principale sito italiano di cinema) per capire cosa si nasconde dietro all'idea - sempre più comune - che il web sia lo strumento più adatto per decidere dove andare al cinema. Il caso di Radio Deejay sarà occasione per capire come un editore tradizionale - in questo caso radiofonico - si ponga di fronte ai temi dello sviluppo di internet e della trasformazione digitale, in un mondo in cui la musica si ascolta su Spotify. Discuteremo infine le diverse "filosofie" o più correttamente "strategie culturali", che sono alla base della sempre più evidente guerra commerciale e tecnologica tra Apple, Google e Facebook (e tra questi e i media tradizionali.) Il seminario si è tenuto all'Università di Firenze, corso di laurea specialistica in Giornalismo e sfera pubblica, condotto da Lorenzo Fabbri (responsabile intrattenimento digitale Gruppo l'Espresso) con la partecipazione di Gianluca Guzzo (fondatore di Mymovies).

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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
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”.

worlds.
100. MOOCs & Information Literacy
“…one can readily see overlap between the
MOOC‘s opportunity to provide global
learning environments and the kindred
opportunity for librarians to investigate and
incorporate metaliteracies into the MOOC
curriculum in collaboration with MOOC faculty
(Cantrell, 2013)
102. Virtual World Librarianship Examples
• Exhibits, Museums, Displays
• Immersive Learning Environments
• Historical Simulations
• Reference Work
• Information Literacy in new formats
• Professional Development
• Global Professional Networking
103. Embedded Librarians
can be Physical or Virtual
“The embedded librarian combines proactivity
and energy with strong working relationships,
close alignment with team goals and objectives,
shared responsibility for outcomes, and full
membership in the team.”
Shumaker, D. (2012). The Embedded Librarians. Online, 36(4), 24-27.
104.
105.
106.
107. The library and the librarian
are not synonymous.
Take a risk and go where no
librarian has gone before!
“It may be that the great age of libraries is waning, but I am
here to tell you that the great age of librarians is just
beginning. It’s up to you to decide if you want to be a part
of it.”
~T. Scott Plutchak

Editor's Notes
As media formats change…so do the terms for literacy --- information literacy, digital literacy, media literacy and a new term I am hearing – transliteracy (See http://librariesandtransliteracy.wordpress.com) Print is, of course, still important- but are they always the best choice for learning? This giant dictionary is now an antique!
