Embracing Undergraduate Research; Creating the 'Arsenal'NASIG
The Center for Undergraduate Research (CURS) at Georgia Regents University (soon to be Augusta University) offers strong support for faculty-led undergraduate research. In collaboration with a student organization, the program director of CURS contacted the GRU Libraries to investigate how to start an undergraduate research journal for the university and identify a venue for publishing undergraduate research.
Since the University Libraries recently helped develop an open-access journal for the College of Education, which is hosted in the institutional repository, two librarians were able to utilize this experience and provide guidance to CURS and the student organization. They worked together on the creation of Arsenal: The Undergraduate Research Journal of Georgia Regents University (Augusta University),a new open access journal specifically aimed at publishing undergraduate research of current students. This session will discuss the process of establishing the journal’s identity, developing policies and processes, hosting and publishing the journal, as well as some of the challenges faced.

Serach, Serendipity & the Researcher ExperienceNASIG
Presenter: Lettie Conrad, Executive Program Manager, Discovery & Product Analysis, SAGE Publishing
When considering academic researchers’ information-seeking and retrieval needs, we often focus on search – optimizing for search, Google-like search for libraries, user preferences for one-box quick-search tools, and so on. But what about unplanned instances of discovery? Are new technologies, such as text mining and natural language processing, enabling new pathways that lead researchers to relevant material, perhaps even leading to surprising new connections across disciplines? Conversely, with the prevalence of satisficing, does serendipity even play a role when searching for information about a scholarly topic?_x000D_
Through a study of undergraduate students and their faculty members, as well as a survey of publisher and website offerings, this talk will summarize common user pathways and how today’s students and faculty use content recommendation tools with recommendations for how libraries and the scholarly communications community might respond.

Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

Librarians are increasingly being asked to engage with
bibliometrics to help with institutional decision making.
However, few have professional qualifications in this area and
there is an onus on universities to do metrics responsibly. A
small project supported by the Lis-Bibliometrics forum and
Elsevier Research Intelligence Division is developing a set of
bibliometric competency statements to ensure practitioners are
equipped to do their work responsibly and well. This workshop
will report on progress to date and invite input into the project.

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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
It is likely that many of you have already encountered the print GR in your training as a librarian. Certainly the print version served as a cornerstone of reference librarianship and training in the past century and today the online version has only increased the depth of coverage and the power of the classic brand. Today will touch on some of the philosophy that shapes GR and also cover its practical and current applications.
These are the primary areas where you can really leverage GR in your work.We will also talk about FREE access later for you and your LIS programs later in the webinar
We will also archive the slides and video of this presentation sometime next week.
We hope that because of this award voted on by your peers, you’ll want to at the very least take advantage of the free 60 Day trial after this webinar.
Historically GR is a large, even huge print volume. We feel this quotation is still relevant of the online version, and that the mission of GR has always remained that same.
Denise tell a story about how Guide to Reference came in handy for you or one of the other editors?
New volunteers welcome.Email us at greditor@ala.org if you’d like to be involved?Denise- http://www.guidetoreference.org/DynamicContent.aspx?ctype=13
Editors put a lot of work into the annotations and this provides the value of really helping you make decisions about titles.Very complete Taxomony that outlines human knowledge.
Copy editors have commented on the extensive coverage of online resources, and we think this shows how smart and savvy reference librarians are.IP authentication for your campus - save searches by logging in though both locally and globally
Three of our goals at GR are to help three major areas, Reference, Collection Development and Teaching & training. First up is Reference
We’ve talked to a lot of reference librarians and these challenges came up quite a bit. We believe that GR addresses these issues
EG give you an overview of ref lit and publishing practices in a subject area.
Our second goal at Guide to Reference is helping with Collection Development. We’ve worked quite a bit with folks who are starting a new program and needed to build up that section of the library. Or starting a new specialized library.
Tight budgets prohibit buying for staff use.
And of course, it’s constantly being updated.
We offer long term complimentary access to LIS classes.
Now, let’s take a look at the guide. Browse page particularly useful for LIS instructors introducing their students to reference work.
We’ll be holding this webinar again in two months so please feel free to join us again and don’t forget to invite your colleagues, too.When this webinar is over you’ll will be given a short survey to fill out. Let us know what you think about this webinar—your feedback is important to us.
