Collections development - policy and practiceSarah Wilkie
Show how an effective collection development policy can support the public library authority’s service objectives
Stress the importance of having direct links to other strategic policies.
Introduce the standard template for a Collection Development Policy drawn up by the National Acquisitions Group (NAG)
Library cooperation refers to the sharing of resources between two or more libraries. It allows for a more comprehensive collection, avoids duplication, and reduces costs. Areas of cooperation include inter-library loans, cooperative acquisitions, cataloging, and more. Barriers to cooperation include inadequate funding, outdated technology, lack of standards, and reluctance to participate. However, the future of library cooperation involves sharing expertise and people to take advantage of current opportunities for sharing resources.
Competition for Library Services
Larry Nash White, East Carolina University
In today’s information service economy, information users and customers have choices like never before as to where they obtain their information. Information seekers can literally obtain information from any where in the global market place, so the library’s service environment is experiencing increased competition for customers like they never have before. To complicate the situation further, the service environment of libraries is becoming more competitive at a time when resources to operate libraries are becoming more difficult to obtain.
In order to strategically respond to these challenges, today’s libraries need to show evidence of understanding the global market place. In order to do that, they need to compete for customers, resources and community connections in innovative and strategic relationships with stakeholders. The library workplace has to have cultures and processes that support continuous innovation and entrepreneurial development or services and their delivery processes. Library leaders need to demonstrate visionary leadership that incorporates both “high touch” and “high tech” in allowing the library customer to shape and control their library experience to best meet their information needs.
The presentation will review the competitors and how they are competing in the information service economy and how libraries are responding to this challenge. Examples of competitors, competitive practices, and research of library response to increasing competition will be presented. Environmental scanning, survey data, and real life examples will be used to present a picture of the current competition of the library service environment and whether libraries are demonstrating evidence of understanding the global market place.
Dr. White is an Assistant Professor and Co-Interim Chair of the Department of Library Science at East Carolina University.

This was a joint presentation by Daniel Ayala (Proquest); Michael C. Robinson (Univ Alaska-Anchorage) and Nettie Lagace (NISO) for the NISO-BISG Forum held on June 24, during the 2016 ALA Annual Conference in Orlando, FL.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Karen Calhoun at NALIS Forum in Sofia, Bulgaria on September 24, 2010. The presentation discussed the changing nature of libraries and information seeking, and opportunities for increased cooperation and integration among libraries. Key points included the dominance of search engines for information finding, the potential to make library collections more visible and discoverable online, and opportunities to share and syndicate metadata across institutions to improve discovery of resources.
WorldCat.org aims to create a global online presence for libraries with three key objectives: raising awareness of libraries worldwide, increasing libraries' relevance by providing more access and value to users, and connecting users both physically and online to libraries and their services. The strategy is to drive traffic to WorldCat.org which will then connect users to libraries and help provide value in order to generate more usage of libraries. Social networking is now mainstream and libraries are expanding their online presences on platforms like Flickr, iTunes, YouTube to have conversations with users.
NCompass Live - January 29, 2020
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
Innovation encompasses far more than technology. One of the most exciting trends in 21st century libraries is the emphasis on restructuring and reinventing our roles in our communities. A huge part of this discussion revolves around the term "Community Engagement". And while this sounds grand and fancy, things often get blurry when we are pressed to define it, implement it, and (the most daunting of all) measure it.
It’s time to cut through ambiguity and put concrete parameters around this evasive topic. This discussion will center around the following questions about community engagement: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and HOW?
Participants will leave with a clear definition of Community Engagement, along with the framework for how to build a Community Engagement plan. One size doesn’t fit all. Your library is uniquely special and to honor this fact, this interactive hour will include brainstorming about what’s right for your library and community. This discussion will be supported by concrete examples and case studies from libraries who have implemented successful community engagement plans.
This conversation is for everyone in the public library. The secret to effective community engagement involves the whole team; we all have an important part to play.

Aspen dialogue ppt slides future of libraries 101915 (1)Stephen Abram
This document summarizes the key findings and recommendations from a working group convened by the Aspen Institute Dialogue on Public Libraries to develop a shared vision for the future of public libraries. The working group included leaders from libraries, businesses, government, and education. They identified three key roles for public libraries going forward: as a place for community and learning, as a platform to facilitate learning and civic participation, and as focused on building human capital rather than just collections. The document outlines strategies and action steps libraries, policymakers, and community partners can take to ensure libraries remain relevant and sustainable in this new vision, such as aligning with community goals, providing access to content, developing partnerships, and leveraging libraries as community hubs
Digital libraries and participatory culture: transforming learning! Anna Maria Tammaro
The document discusses digital libraries and participatory culture in transforming learning. It argues that digital libraries should transition from static repositories to social platforms that are active, open, and facilitate conversations. A case study is presented on a MOOC digital library that gave over 950 participants, mostly teachers and educators, access to curated resources and virtual spaces for flipped and in-class learning. Key findings were the emphasis on users as co-creators and a participatory culture of learning beyond just accumulating concepts. Success factors included cooperation among teachers to develop new practices and help students and teachers take responsibility for improving skills and knowledge sharing.

Description
Do your collections reflect the diversity of your constituents? Are you equipped to meet the diverse needs of future users? In light of budgetary and spatial challenges, diversity in collections may not be a priority for most libraries. Yet, changing demographics practically ensures that there will be an increase in the demand for diverse materials. See how librarians from 3 different types of academic institutions and 1 medical library have been dealing with (or not) with this issue.
Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...lisld
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.

Leaders and partners: strategic positioning for transformative services - Wen...CONUL Conference
Librarians are well-positioned to take on leadership roles and partner with other university departments due to their expertise in areas like data management, curation, and ensuring inclusive and ethical use of information. As technologies like artificial intelligence advance, librarians can help address privacy concerns and make sure AI systems are optimized for both human and machine use of information. Their skills in organizing and providing access to information also make libraries important partners in developing the data capabilities needed for institutions to successfully implement AI.
Librarians are increasingly focused on incorporating outreach, engagement, collaboration, and innovation into everyday tasks such as programming, collection development, instruction, and reference support. Many libraries are turning their attention to what is happening outside of their spaces to improve services and resources inside their spaces. Some institutions are moving away from traditional models of reference, instruction, and collection development and toward creating active mobile spaces where communities can come together to collectively produce, curate, and consume information.
The Rutgers University Art Library looks outside its walls to connect with the local campus and New Brunswick communities with the goal of providing innovative programming that engages a wide range of patrons while highlighting the library’s collections and local scholarly research.
This paper will look at outreach and engagement and examine how these activities affect collection development and highlight library collections. Six case studies from the Rutgers University Libraries will be used as examples: The Rutgers Art Library Exhibition Spaces (RALES), the Rutgers University Libraries Coloring initiatives, button-making, LEGO play, an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, and Banned Books Week.
The document discusses the role of LIBER, Europe's largest research library network, in supporting open science and research data management.

1) The document discusses opportunities and challenges of open access (OA) for developing regions, drawing from the author's experience with CLACSO, a social science council in Latin America.
2) It outlines how OA has provided greater visibility for knowledge produced in local languages and publications in developing regions. However, barriers include access issues, reliance on impact factors for research evaluation, and "author pays" OA models.
3) Recommendations include defining knowledge as a commons shared by all, ensuring dissemination of research results is publicly funded, reviewing research metrics, and supporting South-South cooperation on OA through policies, indicators, and interoperable repositories.
Libraries play a critical role in fostering inclusivity. It could be argued that the mission of the Open University, to be open to people, places, methods and ideas, is actually a mission close to the heart of all libraries and one that we all should follow. The ideal library is one that supports welcoming, open spaces that encourage inclusivity. This presentation will share examples of inclusive approaches and highlight some of the tensions in a Higher Education environment.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
