Research, impact, value and library and information science (RIVAL): developm...Hazel Hall
The research-practice gap in Library and Information Science (LIS) is well documented, especially in respect of the difficulties of translating research into practice, and resultant lost opportunities. While many researchers attempt to explain this research-practice gap, few suggest strategies to address it. The creation of researcher-practitioner networks, however, is one approach that has been proved empirically to bridge the distance between the two communities. Such a network is currently operating in Scotland, funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Research, Impact, Value and Library and Information Science (RIVAL) is part-way through its implementation based around four knowledge exchange events for a network membership of 32 from a wide variety of LIS sectors. RIVAL’s successful delivery depends in part on the project leads’ experience of undertaking, and evaluating the impact of, a UK Arts and Humanities Research Council funded grant: the Developing Research Excellence and Methods (DREaM) project. Already there are indications that RIVAL is delivering value to network members. There is a strong expectation for this to be enhanced, both in the remainder of the funding period and beyond, offering theoretical contributions to the study of social networks, especially in respect of social capital development to support knowledge exchange.
Collaboration and networking: learning from DREaM and RIVALHazel Hall
Discusses the extent of networking and collaboration amongst library and information science researchers and practitioners who took part in the AHRC-funded Developing Research Excellence and Methods (DREaM) project in 2011/12, and the extent to which learning from this grant has influenced the delivery of the Royal Society of Edinburgh funded Research Impact and Value and Library and Information Science project in 2019/20.

The research underlying this presentation explored the role that libraries play in the linked data context. Focusing on European national libraries and Scottish libraries, multiple data gathering methods and constant comparative analysis were applied in the study. Amongst the findings, a general lack of awareness within the library community of the Semantic Web and the implications of linked data was identified. At the same time, there is recognition that linked data augments the discoverability and enhances the interoperability of library data. The presentation will include recommendations for the application of the findings of this research in practice.
Catalysing research into practice from the ground upHazel Hall
David Stewart, CILIP President for 2019 and Regional Director of Health Library and Knowledge Services North, presents on his key presidential theme: the importance of evidence to underpin the difference that library services make. He provides an overview of CILIP’s plans for greater collaboration and co-ordination, and also shares details of work undertaken in NHS England. This includes (a) national research on return on investment, and (b) details of the Catalyst scheme in the North of England, which has been designed to develop librarian research capability and a ground-up, small-scale research programme.
Professor Hazel Hall introduces the second networking event of RIVAL - a collaborative network of Scotland-based Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers and practising library and information professionals interested in maximising the impact and value of library and information science research. The project, which runs in 2019 and 2020, is funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Scotland's school library strategy: advocacy and impact by Martina McChrystalHazel Hall
Vibrant libraries, thriving schools: a national strategy for school libraries in Scotland 2018-2023 is Scotland’s school library strategy. By showcasing the impact an excellent school library service can deliver, the strategy is intended to be used to influence decision-making in respect of school library provision. Martina's presentation outlines about her involvement in the development of the strategy as Chair of the National School Library Strategy Advisory Group, the strategy’s role in advocacy, and its anticipated impact.
Getting research into action: issues, challenges, solutions by Dr Sarah MortonHazel Hall
Sarah Morton has worked across research, policy and practice for most of her career, and will draw on examples from different settings encountered over this time in her presentation. She is keen to interrogate our learning about effective evidence use from the last 20 years, and review how this can be supported from research and practice perspectives. She will present a vision for the effective use of evidence of all kinds to plan, develop and improve policy, practice, and services. As part of this she will explain some of the ways that she is currently developing tools and support for effective evidence use.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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
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.

Networks and the research environment
5. Why focus on networking: individuals
Networks are a resource for the conduct of affairs, giving
privileged access to, for example:
You hear about a free
Information place at a conference for
a PhD student
Opportunities
Social status You are invited to apply
for the free place
Individuals trade intangibles Your known connections
Reputation have an influence as to
Credibility whether or not you are
successful in your
Friendship application for the free
Collective knowledge place
6. Networks for research support
In terms of research work, another key resource that
depends on networks is support for funding and other
forms of “buy-in”
Often there is a preference/requirement for proposed projects run
jointly by two or more parties, both for applications for large
amounts of money and for small scale “competitions”
An indication of how research findings will be disseminated across
the community is also a requirement of an application for funding
in most cases
7.
8.
9.
10. Networks to help career development
General support of research projects
Committee work PhD sponsorship
Specific help, e.g. access to data subjects, sites for data
collection
Committee work PhD case study
“Esteem” roles: peer reviewing, work for research
councils, editorial boards, conference programme
committees, keynote speaker invitations etc – and
associated travel
Conference conversations opportunities abroad
Conference follow-up book authorship
11. Internal organisational networks
Internal projects also need resources
Support in the form of funding, staffing, time, attention
Access to those who can offer these resources, and your
ability to persuade them to share your
agenda, strengthens the chances that your proposed
projects will be supported
12. Network value is related to social capital

organizational advantage. Academy of Management Review, 23(2), 242-266.

• Widén-Wulff, G. & Ginman, M. (2004). Explaining knowledge sharing in
organizations through the dimensions of social capital. Journal of Information
Science, 30(5), 448-458.

• Hall, H., Widén, G., & Paterson, L. (2010). Not what you know, nor who you
know, but who you know already: examining online information sharing behaviours
through the lens of social exchange theory. Libri, 60, 117-128.
13. Early usage of the term “social capital”
Research in, and the literature of, Community Studies
concludes that social capital
is found in networks of relationships
depends on trust, co-operation and collective action
supports the survival and function of city neighbourhoods
supports childhood development in families
14. Central proposition of social capital
Networks of relationships are a resource for the conduct
of affairs
Networks can:
Be formal, e.g. family, class, school membership
Have weak ties, e.g. friends of friends
Have levels of focus: person, group, organisation, set of
organisations
15. Network types
Physical connection – co-
Friendship, liking, respect – location at work
evaluation of one person by another
Kinship/descent – biological ties
16. Dimensions of social capital
Structural dimension Overall pattern of connections among actors: who
reaches whom and how this is achieved.
Relational dimension Relationships developed through history of
interaction between actors.
Cognitive dimension Shared representations and interpretations.
17. Structural and relational dimensions
illustrated
Social network analysis to depict interactions (social/research-related) between
actors in a network
Before After
18. Cognitive dimensions of social capital
more difficult to illustrate
Social network analysis to depict awareness of research expertise amongst actors
Before After
19. Social capital is an unusual form of capital
It’s owned jointly by partners in the relationship
There’s no exclusive ownership of it
It’s difficult to trade
It has special features
It can achieve ends that would be too costly to achieve otherwise,
e.g. strong trust cuts down need for monitoring
It can achieve “unique” ends impossible to achieve otherwise
e.g. through the exploitation of weak ties
20. Networking to support research in context
In general business terms
“Getting on with people, especially at events”
People wearing badges on a mission seek out new (sales) contacts
in “rich” environments
In research environment
Approach to working – from making connections to engaging in the
discourse of the domain
Need to play a “long” game
Some events are really worth attending, for example for information
science iDocQ, i3, ASIST Annual Meeting
Some people are really worth seeing
21. Some peculiarities: established
researchers
They know one another very well
and it’s unlikely that you know much about the relational dimension
of their shared social capital
Generally academics become less “conservative” as their
careers progress
odd behaviours observed amongst professors (for example) are
probably just that – and are not something to be emulated
You dress to inspire confidence, trust, credibility, assurance
Your written communications should do the same
Don’t begin “peculiar”!
You want to be remembered for your research (and not your silly
hat/hysterical laughter/collection of teddies/partner’s pet name…)
22. Further peculiarities: information science
Well-organised community
Particularly in online spaces such as mailing lists and Twitter
News spreads fast
Small community
