It is important to share all your information and never hide any sort of information from anyone. Harrison believes that if you continually give away all your ideas, you put yourself in a need to replenish your ideas. This forces you to be creative and come up with new ideas and information. Also, when you share ideas others also tell you their ideas, and this gives you access to more ideas.
No idea where to start with social media? Too many people saying too many things?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paper presented at Helsinki Photomedia 2014: Photographic powers.
26-28 March 2014, Aalto University, Finland.
2. Sharing is caring…
Photograph sharing practices through the ages
clockwise L-R: The Victorian Cartes de Visites,
The Polaroid, Images from ‘Dear Photograph’,
Ellen’s Oscar Selfie, the most tweeted image so far
in Twitter history
3. Tim Ingold: Movement and the Meshwork
Ingold (2008) believes that the dominance of networks, where the
emphasis is put on the direct connections between people and things is
flawed
Entanglement and habitation along the trails of everyday life is messier
than simple straight connecting lines and is more akin to a knotted
meshwork of lines
‘To me, as a relatively inexperienced user, navigating the internet is a matter of
activating a sequence of links that take me... from site to site. Travel through
cyberspace thus resembles transport. Experienced users, however, tell me
that... they follow trails like wayfarers... for them, the web may seem more like a
mesh than a net. How we should understand ‘movement’ through the internet is
an interesting question’ (Ingold, 2011:249)
Travel and the digital wayfarer (Pink, 2013) connected to photography
4. Some old practices, some new routines?
Photographs as objects
Sharing of images has always been popular technology makes this a
more common and flexible pursuit
‘new technology both replicates and extends prior social uses of personal
photos’ (Van House, 2007:5)
Orality of photography (Langford, 2008) – telling of stories important with
physical images where we try to add context to our personal images
‘new technology both replicates and extends prior social uses of personal
photos’ (Van House, 2007:5)
5. Methods
Call put out via the blog/forums on Blipfoto
Focus group organised with local (Edinburgh) Blippers in a city centre
location
Skype-type interviews
Caveat: self selection! (of age, gender, socio-economic group)
8. Blipfoto: contrasts and tensions
Private/Public
Anonymity/Openness
Words/Pictures
Yourself/Others
Today/Tomorrow
Life /Death
9. Public/Private
‘I am totally anonymous on Blip none of my friends know I blip …but on
Facebook I am totally open. The only people who know I blip are friends
that I have met on there…I quite like the anonymity of that’ (Blipper 2)
‘I have never thought about it as public/private’ (Blipper 4)
‘I am not identified on Blip…its not that that I am trying to be secretive but
I just wish to anonymous on there’ (Blipper 6)
‘But there is a thing about following someone’s life ….recently one person
I followed got engaged …and I had to look back through her journal and
thought when did this start happening?!’ (Blipper 7)
‘I won’t put people or family on Blip’ (Blipper 1)
10. Words/Pictures
‘Comments can be an extension of my real world communications… if I
read something that I really enjoy because it is about the text as well,
then I will make a comment. If I say great photo then I will mean it!’
(Blipper 6)
‘The commenting between me and the people that I know is another level
of commenting, it is much more of a conversation because people who
know a bit about your life’ (Blipper 7)
‘Perhaps there is 2 ways of commenting …I comment but not in a deep
and meaningful way but I don’t mind saying nice things!...it is about
preserving that community feeling its about how to behave and the
protocol. I would rather people we nice than say something critical’
(Blipper 1)
11. Yourself/Others
‘I’m sharing but I am very much doing the photos for myself … I am a
hobby photographer’ (Blipper 4)
‘It is the photo plus the text so it is a record of my life plus those of other
people, in that moment in time and that place… we are connected through
the site and sort of running parallel with lots of other people’ (Blipper 1)
‘I have always kept a diary…but last year was the only year I did not keep
a diary but I was keeping the blip journal instead’ (Blipper 7)
‘When I was away from my wife and family [Blip] became a communication
tool … as well a personal moment for me’ (Blipper 6)
12. Today/Tomorrow
‘[There was] a desire to do a more formal record of each day…I
photograph every day [my camera] stays in my pocket, to [her husbands]
frustration! I don't use Flickr or Smugmug in the same way but I do use a
couple of blogs like that’ (Blipper 8)
‘You can look back on something that happened a year ago or seven
years ago and you go wow! I have got diaries that have appointments in
them but they don’t have a physical image of something I looked at that
day …. It suddenly brings back what you did that day’ (Blipper 5)
13. Life/Death
‘I realise how much I value looking back at a continuous archive of
memories I have created’ (Blipper 6)
‘The day that a woman in the South of France I followed died: suddenly
all you got was her camera on Blip and a story from her family to say that
she had died the day before. This is someone that I had never met, never
talked to but it was very, very personal’ (Blipper 7)
‘I am doing it as a historical record …it’s actually an amazing resource
that will be there forever’ (Blipper 2)
14. Routes and Routines
Blipfoto both becomes part of routine and disrupts everyday routines
Many participants Blip everyday
More linear structure of day to day uploads
Structured interaction with the site, visiting same people and places
online – not as much browsing
Connections through cohorts
15. Routes and Routines
‘It’s something to do every day…you know that day is going to be crap
because you are going to be in the office all day so you try and get something
on the way to work so ‘at least I have got one’ (Blipper 5)
‘I tend to be logged in on my phone all the time but only log in to upload a
photo once or twice a week on average’ (Blipper 9)
‘I have three modes of engagement on Blip. There is posting my picture on
blip which is actually quite functional I’ll take the time to upload it, write my bit
then go do something else. The second is a set of journals that I follow with
other blogs and things and I usually read through them on my phone or on the
bus in some dead time and catch up with what is going on. The third is in idle
moments I will just browse.’ (Blipper, 6)
16. Routes and Routines
‘[Blip] has encouraged me to have my camera with me more. I get
disappointed if I see a good shot but can't take it’ (Blipper 9)
‘I have never missed a day …and never back blipped but the problem is,
that makes me obsessive! I put up the blip, automatically go and look at
my subscribers and then if I have time I will got through them and give
them all a comment’ Blipper 3)
‘I usually use the PC , if I have to I have time, I check other pics then load
mine. There are a few I always check [but] not everyone…the site has
fitted into my routine’ (Blipper 8)
17. Discussion Points
Contemplation and Exhibition – Blipfoto is a site of contrasts
Users tend to follow the same daily routes in and out of the site
Its habitual use has a profound effect on users daily routines too and they
invest a lot of time in the site
More than photography: text beside the photo can add extra depth to the
journal from both the user and subscribers point of view
‘The media become most significant and successful when they become
an integral part of taken-for-granted daily life’ (Paddy Scannell)
Blipfoto is an important place within the everyday lives of users of the site
