Is Renewable Energy Really Sustainable?CSR-in-Action
One of the major trends in our present world is the global rush to renewable energy captured from natural processes. While the world moves to generate clean energy systems that do not contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change, non-inclusion of social consciousness and several other impacts on the ecosystem are unveiling the grey areas of these renewables.
Generally, any intention to satisfy a given dimension of sustainability at the cost of others, for example conserving the environment without considering the health hazard or economic hardship to the people, becomes an unsustainable practice.
Therefore, is renewable energy really sustainable? Find out in the set of following slides.

Christopher Silver
This session draws upon the teaching, research and consulting experiences in sustainability drawn the perspectives of an architect, planning lawyer and an international planner. Through a series of case studies, it explores how the global community
is undertaking legal, regulatory and other measures to realize sustainable urbanism, promote sustainability in various parts
of the world, and how these efforts can influence the work of Florida planners. This comparative perspective not only provides a source for innovation in practice, but can also serve as
a measure of success locally in the face of the global challenges faced by the sustainable urbanism movement.

The Falls Prevention Awareness Initiative of the Cobb County Public Library System addresses a costly community health challenge. Guidance provided by public health experts on evidence-based strategies for reducing fall injury risks in the senior population has been critical for shaping the initiative
since its launch in 2015.
The initiative is supported by partnerships with state, local and national organizations. Cobb libraries collaborate with public health and aging services agencies, healthcare providers, universities, and others providing Falls Prevention library programs.
Cobb residents have attended health screenings, classes such as A Matter of Balance, CarFit senior driver safety inspections, and more.

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.

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
