From Dystopia to Utopia: The Future of E-content in LibrariesWiLS
Delivered for WiLSWorld 2018 on July 24th in Madison, WI by Mitchell Davis, Chief Business Officer, BiblioLabs; Veronda J. Pitchford, Director of Membership and Resource Sharing, Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS)
The future is continuously speeding up and consumer media players like Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Spotify take more and more mindshare and attention of the Gen X, Gen Y and Millennial markets.
Over the past decade large media and technology companies such as these have radically changed end user expectations on the ease of having affordable, simple access to high quality digital content of all types. Meanwhile, brick and mortar institutions such as Borders, Barnes & Noble and a host of others have seen their fortunes decline as indie bookstores have seen a rise in popularity and sustainability.
How are libraries positioned to compete and flourish in this new media landscape? What are libraries uniquely positioned to do well in the digital landscape for readers, researchers and consumers of content? What are the underlying dynamics that drive the business of libraries and keep vendors and libraries from working as true partners?
Engaging in radical collaboration between libraries, vendors and publishers can produce better access, content and experiences sprinkled with delight for readers that could become the rallying cry for all the work we all do.

There has been an exciting surge of interest in the museum sector in expanding access to museum data through the classic idea of creating a commons. A Web-based multi-institutional museum commons could open up public access to collections, deepening contextual knowledge of objects and helping museum professionals recognize the unseen value of their own collections. For example, collections items that seem orphaned or fragmentary in one institution may enjoy a rich life on-line, once reunited with relevant collections and data from other institutions in an on-line commons environment. Commons-oriented intellectual property policies should also enable content sharing for educational and other non-commercial uses, or they may be used to facilitate new innovations or for-profit businesses beyond the scope of traditional rights-and-reproductions activities.
The Smithsonian Institution and the Balboa Park on-line Collaborative (BPOC) are both large, multi-part organizations with diverse research and outreach missions: together they provide a unique opportunity to explore the potential of the commons model.

Riding the Waves or Caught in the Tide? Navigating the Evolving Information ...Julián Marquina
The sheer volume of information and the speed at which it is being created online is one of the focal points of the IFLA Trend Report. The IFLA Trend Report is the result of twelve months’ consultation with experts and stakeholders from a range of disciplines to explore and discuss emerging trends in our new information environment. It is not a static report, but a dynamic and evolving set of online resources for library and information professionals to contribute to at trends.ifla.org. There’s a great depth of data already on the online platform for libraries to use, share and build on, including a bibliography and literature review of existing trend reports, expert papers and discussion summaries.
The IFLA Trend Report identifies five high level trends in the global information environment, spanning access to information, education, privacy, civic engagement and technological transformation. While it sets out existing and likely future trends which characterise the new digital paradigm, it doesn’t forecast the future of libraries.

The outlook for continued library funding is changing at a rapid pace. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, public libraries are not only losing future funding but also being forced to get creative with their existing budget in order to support new patron needs. This new mode of operation encourages a dynamic response in service as the environment changes from week to week. Public libraries are turning to grants to supplement funding and enhance programming for an increasingly virtual world. Leveraging existing resources and relationships is a good way to build a foundation for grant seeking.

Librarians wear a lot of hats. Far from a quiet profession with an easily defined range of tasks, a librarian might be called upon to unclog a toilet, clean up a spill, and provide technical support all in the same day (or hour!) How can a librarian stay on top of all of the needed tasks and maintain sanity? This program will consist of a short review of current research on librarian time management and a panel discussion of current librarians discussing ways they manage time, with time for questions and answers.

In Spring 2020, an assessment project was developed to assess the impact of library instruction to five Speech 102 classes. The assessment was administered in two parts using the immediate and follow-up surveys provided in the project OUTCOME platform. The immediate survey was administered via a print survey directly after the in-person instruction sessions. Due to the pandemic, the follow-up survey was administered six weeks after the instruction sessions via an online survey. This session will discuss using project OUTCOME, the findings of the assessment, and what librarians can learn from assessment projects during a semester of upheaval.

During FY 2020, University of West Georgia’s Library was presented with actual and theoretical budget cut scenarios. As a result, we were asked to reduce our collections budget by approximately $400,000 for FY 2021 and to devise various strategies for potential budget reductions in the future.
Our collection management committee accomplished this through a multifaceted approach: analyzing relevant data points, seeking insight from subject area liaisons and departmental faculty, and evaluating relevance to current degree programs and course rotations.
Our framework provides an example of how to undertake a collection management project during times of fiscal uncertainty.

A brief discussion on ways librarians can use design thinking strategies to support older adult library users. With more university libraries serving the public, academic librarians must be prepared to serve non-traditional students and multigenerational patrons. In particular, older adult library patrons often surface with unique research quests ranging from leisurely bylines, life-long learning to ancestral pursuits and more. Assessing their distinct needs yields opportunities to serve this population of users through relationship building, knowledge-based content, and access privileges.

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.

to emerge from developments in
the research library community in
the late twentieth century. As a
conceptual theme that could be
adapted to many academic
settings, it became a catalytic
notion for innovative new library
facilities and programs.”

Planned as a second edition to
the 2009 volume, now moving in
new directions.
Because there are now so many
new kinds of technology-enabled
spaces (makerspaces, digital

book aims to more inclusively
document the many new kinds of
facilities and the reasons for
creating them.

12. Origin and Development of the Information Commons
Milewicz describes the shift from shared
access, especially to digital resources
and information, to shared creation and
dissemination, pointing to a more active
role for the library in the production of
knowledge.
• Differentiation and segmentation of commons
spaces

13. Surveying the Landscape
Lippincott notes the widespread adoption of the commons in the last
twenty years under a variety of terms and model, characterized by
technologies that promote seamless access to information.
The commons also delivers user services for both technology as well
as content.
§ Workstations for individual and group use
§ Spaces for presentation practice and videoconferencing
§ Consultation areas and classrooms
§ exhibit and event spaces
§ Vending areas and cafes
She concludes that the library commons will continue to play an
important role in the learning community it serves.

14. 21st Century Library Service Design
Felix and Swift suggest that libraries need to go beyond simple
access to information, to creating and connecting people,
technology and resources.
New and emerging user needs compel libraries to rethink their
services, and their organizational structures, processes and
cultures.
Drawing on their work with nearly fifty academic libraries they
describe a process for thinking systematically about library service
philosophy and delivery, redesign of work process, and
organizational restructuring, based on a user-driven perspective.

15. Integrating Technology into the Information Commons
Rhoads focuses on first principles such as mission, community
needs, and overall trends, this contribution discusses technology
integration, innovation, lifecycle planning and budgeting, and the
nuts and bolts of power, data, networking, wayfinding, and
security.
His discussion of trends covers everything from rapid prototyping
and sandboxes, through digital asset management and software/
virtualization, to “technology convergence”, the movement toward
a unified digital platform that will enable the commons to continue
to remain central to the library’s mission.

16. Designing Flexible Spaces
Cook and Maddox underscore
the need for constant
innovation and change in the
Library Commons in order to
effectively support the faculty,
staff and students they serve.
In a series of case studies they
describe rapid design
processes, and lightweight
renovation and construction,
that enabled libraries to quickly
implement projects that
produced flexible and
attractive spaces in response
to institutional growth and
change.

17. Tying It All Together
Designed in response to the needs of the end-user, the research- and
learning-focused space that is the successful Information Commons
offers an experience based on available devices, inspiring physical
spaces, virtual connections, and a host of services not typically
associated with libraries of the past.
Moving through a range of planning themes that include the overall
experience, services and partnerships, tools for creation and
dissemination, technology, and identity, the evolution of the commons
is traced from the destination commons, through the distributed
commons, to the idea that the library is the commons.
The commons of the future will reach out beyond the walls of the
library, crossing disciplinary boundaries as a hub for innovation
designed to foster productive collaboration, promote interdisciplinary
learning, and support ground-breaking research across campus.

19. Relatively New, Relatively Big
Most of the commons in this
sample were established fairly
recently, about ten years ago;
the average year was 2006.
Most of the facilities were
renovated or overhauled one or
more times in the last decade.
While there is a lot of variation in
size, the average is 16K square
feet, or for a conceptual gross
space picture, a square roughly
125 feet on a side.

20. Extended Hours, Service Points, Computers
These commons are open on
average roughly 120 hours per
week, or in other words, over 70%
of the time in a week - fairly long
hours.
They were manned on average
around 100 hours per week -
again, long hours.
Most of them had more than one
service point.
There was extreme variation in
number of desktop computers, but
most had dozens.
On average they had about half as
many laptops as desktop
computers.

21. Heavy Transactional Usage
These facilities are heavily used,
with tens of thousands of entries
per month.
On average, roughly half of the
entries seem to have had an
associated service transaction,
typically
On average, roughly 75% of the
entries seem to have had an
associated logon to a computer.
