Are we there yet? : Moving to an e-only collection development policy for booksNASIG
Online journals have been the preferred format for several years, with most academic libraries favoring online access to print subscriptions. However, the move towards an online-preferred collection development policy for books has not quite reached the same saturation, despite the popularity of options such as DDA and PDA. This session will review the literature on reasons for moving to an online-preferred collection development policy for all resources, including books, and provide information on user preferences, technological and platform hurdles to overcome, and information on current collection development policies for e-books.

Undergraduate and Graduate Student Use of Social Media WhitepaperProQuest
Social media is such an intrinsic part of the way students interact, it is natural that academic libraries would consider making services available through these communication channels. For the benefit of academic libraries, ProQuest commissioned a study by Hanover Research to gauge the current and potential uses of social media for academic research. We present the findings here, along with some top-line recommendations to assist libraries in executing an effective social media strategy.
Many students are approaching research incorrectly and it's greatly hurting information literacy. In this presentation we tackle how to solve this issue so students can become prepared for college and the workplace.

Academic libraries are in the midst of a digital transformation, but in this transitional period some real tensions demand strategic nuance. An expert in the changing roles of the library, scholarly publisher, and learned society, keynote speaker Roger Schonfeld will lead us through the three tensions underlying the changing library environment. Each of these tensions is a budgetary tension, and each of them is a systems tension, and for each of them the library would benefit from a more sophisticated engagement by publishers and vendors.

Abstract
Initiatives supporting the use and creation of open educational resources (OER) can provide cost, access, and student success solutions for higher education. The affordability argument often associated with OER gets significant attention because commercial textbook prices are startling and cost savings accumulate quickly when transitioning to free resources. However, the pedagogical innovation enabled by openness is as highly valued by both educators and their students. In this presentation, we’ll define OER, examine the impact of OER use in higher education, explore values that are fundamental to open education, discuss concepts of information ownership and authority, and highlight examples of open education that have empowered educators, improved information access, and increased student agency.

Open textbooks can alleviate the burden of educational costs for students and provide faculty with content that can be customized for their courses. Open textbooks are full, real textbooks, used by many faculty across the country, including here at UTA. They are licensed to be freely used, edited, and distributed. Many are also accompanied by customizable slides, test banks, and other supplemental materials.
UTA educators are invited to attend an Open Textbook Workshop to discover open textbooks. After the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to write a short review of an open textbook from the Open Textbook Library in exchange for a small stipend. The review will benefit other faculty considering open textbooks.

Introduction to OER for Open Education Day at UTAMichelle Reed
The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Libraries and the Center for Research on Teaching and Learning Excellence co-sponsored Open Education Day at UTA on March 7, 2019, in Central Library. In the day's first presentation, "Introduction to OER," presenter Michelle Reed defines open educational resources (OER), examines the impact of OER use in higher education, discusses copyright and open licensing, and explores avenues for identifying existing OER that can be remixed and reused. The presentation covers updates on federal and state OER initiatives and highlights support for open educational practices at UTA, including access to and technical support for Pressbooks, a web-based publishing platform. Slides and detailed slide notes are available at http://hdl.handle.net/10106/27848.
To support UTA faculty interested in submitting an application for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Open Educational Resources Grant Program, UTA Libraries are hosting two OER Grant Application Sprints. Librarians will share tips for completing the application, assist with locating OER, define support for open education at UTA, and review application materials.
Partnering to Build a Sustainable OER ProgramMichelle Reed
This presentation by Michelle Reed was presented for the Belt and Road Open Education Learning Week hosted by the Smart Learning Institute of Beijing Normal University on June 26, 2018.
This presentation by Michelle Reed and Billy Meinke was presented at the Open Education Global Conference on April 25, 2018, in Delft, Netherlands. Abstract: For over a century, academic librarians in the United States have provided instruction designed to help patrons effectively navigate and use the resources and services provided by the library. Today we refer to this type of learning experience in terms of “information literacy.” As digitization has shaped the ways that we access and share information, so, too, has information literacy evolved to represent a more nuanced relationship between the people who create and consume information and the systems we use to communicate in a networked world. In January 2016, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) adopted a new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, which transitioned librarians from a skills-based approach to teaching and learning to a conceptual one. Though the language in the Framework is student-centric, as are the information literacy programs that operate out of academic libraries, we argue that the knowledge practices and dispositions represented in the document apply to educators as much as they do to the students we serve—particularly in the context of open education. With its heavy focus on copyright and licensing, outreach and education about open educational resources (OER) provide a perfect opportunity to explore how concepts of information literacy can guide our work with faculty, staff, and administrators who are new to open education or who have fallen prey to misinformation about OER. Additionally, though the term “information literacy” grew from libraries, we acknowledge that librarians do not fully own the responsibility of deepening our communities’ understanding of the information ecosystem. In this presentation, a librarian and an instructional designer discuss how information literacy concepts can inform how we support open education and how we leverage existing information literacy programs to broaden the impact of our work.

"Complementary and Necessarily Bundled: Leveraging Partnerships to Bring Open Pedagogy to Scale" was presented on October 11, 2017, at the 14th annual Open Education Conference in Anaheim, California.
Abstract: Open pedagogy is the future of open education because of the potential for an educational community to engage in the creation of the next generation of content while improving student learning. However, building open pedagogy to scale at most institutions has proven difficult, partially because of customized learning experiences and partially because of lack of faculty knowledge about how to support open pedagogy assignments. One way to increase adoption of open pedagogy is to leverage the existing infrastructure and institutional awareness around information literacy. The similarities in goals between open pedagogy and information literacy work represents a natural partnership that open practitioners can draw upon to support the increased adoption of both information-rich and renewable assignments in the curriculum. Panelists in this session will discuss a librarian's perspective on building programmatic support for open pedagogical practice, similar to how libraries have built programmatic support for information literacy. With a focus on scholarship of teaching and learning and open educational practices, we'll demonstrate how the work of open education practitioners and librarians is both complementary and necessarily bundled. When our professional, ethical, and teaching practices are united, open pedagogy can be better organized to scale.

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

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.
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.

“Research provides the foundation of modern society. Research leads to
breakthroughs, and communicating the results of research is what allows us to
turn breakthroughs into better lives—to provide new treatments for disease, to
implement solutions for challenges like global warming, and to build entire
industries around what were once just ideas. However, our current system for
communicating research is crippled by a centuries old model that hasn’t been
updated to take advantage of 21st century technology.”

11. Open Textbooks, Open Pedagogy
“I’ve spent some time talking about open pedagogy at several universities this Spring, and in each of those
presentations and workshops, I have usually mentioned The Open Anthology of Earlier American Literature, an OER
anthology that my students and I produced last year for an American literature survey course I taught. When I talk
about the anthology, it’s usually to make a point about open pedagogy. I began the project with the simple desire to
save my students about $85 US, which is how much they were (ostensibly) paying for the Heath Anthology of
American Literature Volume A. Most of the actual texts in the Heath were a public domain texts, freely available and
not under any copyright
restrictions. As the Heath
produced new editions (of
literature from roughly 1400-
1800!), forcing students to buy
new textbooks or be irritatingly
out of sync with page numbers,
and as students turned to rental
markets that necessitated them
giving their books back at the end
of the semester, I began to look in
earnest for an alternative.”
- Robin DeRosa
12. How is Open Different?
Current: Faculty provides core readings for the course.
New: Students examine why core readings are core – what role did/do
they play in the discipline. They develop a bibliography that explains that
role, relating it to current work in the field. Subsequent classes update the
bibliography, adding perspective to the original readings, adding readings
they believe are now core and describing why for the next group of
students
13. How is Open Different?
Current: Students research a current issue related to a northwestern Native
American tribe
New: Students determine the gaps in the commonly available literature
and interview members of a tribe in order to add native voice to the
available perspectives. The bibliography is published in an open format.
Students discuss what gets published, why, and whose voice is left out of
“published” conversations.
