Building an Institutional Repository Program in Two Months or Less: The Good,...Abby Clobridge
Most of the literature related to creating an institutional repository program suggests starting small -- either with one department or a project such as electronic theses and dissertations. At Bucknell University, we took an entirely different approach in an attempt to get broader experience by working with a cross-section of members of the university community and multiple types of digital objects all in one shot. This initial collection was built around Bucknell's participation in Focus the Nation, a one-day national teach-in being held at colleges and universities, designed to raise awareness about environmental issues. The resulting archive includes video and slide shows from faculty presentations, digital images taken of students and faculty with exhibits, electronic copies of research posters, and other relevant materials. Join us to learn about our experiences, problems encountered, and success stories as we managed to get an institutional repository program off the ground in less than two months. Topics will include: faculty copyright issues, developing a license for submitting materials to a repository; video recording an event from a novice's perspective; working with video files; using an Akamai server; attempting to build a collection with other institutions; getting submissions from students; and Open Access 101 for faculty -- a.k.a., yes, it will be accessible on the Internet.
Open Access, Journal, Institutional Repository and BeyondLeslie Chan
Presentation at the Scholarly Communication Retreat, St. Michael's College, University of Toronto. Oct.6, 2015. This talk is a personal perspective on Open Access and what I see as the key impetus for engaging in open access practices.

As an incomer to the Library (I moved from ITS in 2014, with a stint in the Research Office in 2011) I see the challenges that the fast pace of policy development –both external (OA, impact, Research Data Management, Research Outcomes) and internal (KPIs, Benchmarking) – is presenting across the Institution. Where does the Library fit into this? What opportunities can be exploited to redesign the services we provide? This session seeks to explore these questions and explain some of the systems, standards and initiatives available, illustrating examples of best practice in how and why the Library should take a leading role in understanding, promoting and implementing their 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.

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.

can use them to show the type of usage, and to demonstrate the usage
and broad range of use. For a particular item type we can talk about a
news story or blog which can show a spike in downloads that
corresponds to the publicity.”

Editor's Notes
Discovered article without DOI (shown in Dspace)
Go into Pure to edit the metadata
DOI pushed through to Dspace
Follow up… do downloads increase?
Note high usage of ETDs, similar scene at Edinburgh
Increasing trend shown by IRUS
GA stats tell a different story (down to technical reasons)
Example – ‘Hold Still Madame…’ – usage since launch
Search “Hold still” for item stats
IRUS and GA tell similar story
Can see trend from publication date
