The document discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on health information professionals and their work. It provides 5 definitions of AI, from everyday tools that increase productivity to a global industrial complex. It explores both opportunities and risks of using AI, such as privacy concerns, bias, lack of transparency, and ethics. The document also examines how AI may change information professional jobs and skills needed, such as data management and literacy. Finally, it discusses a vision for an "intelligent library" powered by AI and the user's interactions within it.
Using UX to improve Library Search HLG event 241121DerekBoyle12
Our aim is for Library Search to be intuitive and user friendly, enabling our users to quickly and easily access NHS Scotland’s print and electronic resources so late in 2019 we undertook a project to adopt a user experience (UX) methodology to better fulfil these aims.
This webinar will provide an introduction to managing, purchasing and promoting eBooks within an academic context. It will also provide an overview of the key elements of eBook accessibility with reference to the recent HE eBook accessibility audit. With opportunities for questions and to feedback.
How to get your institution ready for open access monographs - Ellen Collins ...Jisc
How ready is your institution for Open Access (OA) monographs? Although excluded from REF2020, there is no doubt that they will be included in the future, indeed you can already publish an OA monograph now. This session will first provide a brief introduction to the OA monograph landscape – what is happening, who is doing what, what models are being explored. It will then look at how institutions are responding to landscape and based on evidence collected through institutional case studies as part of the OAPEN-UK project, present tips for getting your institution ready for OA monographs.
The OAPEN-UK project, funded by AHRC and Jisc is exploring open access monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences. The institutional case studies included in-depth interviews with Pro-Vice Chancellors of Research, Directors of Research, Grant administrators, Finance Directors, Librarians and Repository Staff and researchers themselves. The session will be presented by Ellen Collins, Research Officer for OAPEN-UK.

While many librarians have developed mechanisms and
structures for managing local scholarship separate from
their standard resource management practices, the
intersection of the two content streams is occurring at
many institutions. During the past decade the presenters
have dedicated themselves to capturing best practices
of electronic resource management and mapping out
paths for creating open access workflows. Join them for a
lively discussion and interactive session where they outline
ways to bring these two initiatives together and identify the
teams needed.

About the Webinar
The development and rising popularity of the massive open online course (MOOC) presents a new opportunity for libraries to be involved in the education of patrons, to highlight the resources libraries provide and to further demonstrate the value of the library to administrators. There are, of course, a host of logistics to be considered when deciding to organize or support a MOOC. Diminished library budgets and staffing levels challenge libraries both monetarily and administratively. Marketing the course, mounting it on a site, securing copyright permissions and negotiating licensing for course materials, managing the course while in progress and troubleshooting technical problems add to the issues that have caused some libraries to hesitate in joining the MOOC movement. On the other hand, partnerships such as that between Georgetown University and edX, itself an initiative of Harvard and MIT, allow a pooling of resources thereby easing the burden on any one library. In some cases price breaks for certain course materials used in MOOCs can help draw students to the course, though the pricing must still be negotiated by the course organizer. A successful MOOC, such as the RootsMOOC, created by the Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University and the State Library of North Carolina, can bring awareness of library resources to a broad audience.
In the end, libraries must ask whether the advantages of participating in a MOOC outweigh the challenges. The speakers for this webinar will consider these issues surrounding MOOCs and libraries and try to answer the question of whether the impact of libraries on MOOCs has been realized or is still brewing.

Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

5. Definition 1: Everyday functionality increasing
productivity of knowledge workers
• Auto-correct
• Auto-suggest
• Grammar check
• Transcription/ captioning of
meetings
• Translation tools
• Automatic writing
• Many features of search and
recommendation
• Increased productivity
• Increased access to knowledge
• Does it do so evenly, eg which
languages are served best?
• Continued need for critical
information literacy
6. Definition 2: A cluster of new technologies
• Machine learning
• Natural language processing
• Sentiment analysis
• Voice recognition
• Image recognition
• Applications: new forms of search and
recommendation, collections as data
• Eg Searching medical images or text
mining the literature
• Chatbots, voice assistants
Its not magic
• Data description and fragmentation
• Training data effort
• Data bias
• Data validity
• Data ethics
• The hype around technological
solutionism always downplays
women’s work, emotional labour,
service (Mirza and Seale, 2017)
https://exploreai.jisc.ac.uk/
7. Definition 3: A global industrial complex
• How much energy does it use?
• How much raw material does it
use?
• How much unpaid labour/ data
are we contributing?
• How much does it rely on
clickworkers?
• Who profits? How does it link to
global inequalities?
• Is it sustainable?
(Crawford and Joler, 2018; Crawford, 2020)
8. Definition 4: An evolving idea… a social
imaginary
• Utopias and dystopias of science fiction
• Evolves as our idea of technology and intelligence evolve
• Intelligence as answering a quiz
• Intelligence as social, creative, emergent, open
9. Definition 5: AI for information professionals
Use in our own daily work
• Using AI tools in your own work, eg book ordering,
summarising texts… etc
• Robotic process automation of backend processes
Using AI in our own services to users
• Supporting use of AI built into third party search
tools
• Applying machine learning to organisational datasets
• Text mining the literature
• Developing a chatbot or voice assistant for
information service users
Supporting a community of data scientist users
• Locating/ licensing external data sets for analysis

Using it to monitor/ predict/influence user behaviour
• Applying sentiment analysis to social media
responses to information services
10. What types of uses can you
imagine?
Post your answers in padlet: https://padlet.com/a_m_cox/jduwltdylkl7vi54
11. Understanding or managing users
• Libraries are rich in data about users
• Turnstile data
• Circulation data
• Usage of digital resources
• Satisfaction surveys
• Reference enquiries
• Qualitative data, eg UX studies
• AI to analyse social media data or open text survey data
• AI to nudge users?
Learning analytics debate
• Lack consent or student awareness of how their data
is being used
• Lack ethics review
• Libraries few responsible use statements
• Benefits unclear or for institution not learner
• Privacy issues
• Chilling effect on free speech and expression
Jones et al. (2020)
• Issue of validity: “learning data” not equal to learning
• Evidence that data analysis flawed (Robertshaw and
Asher, 2019)
13. Ethics and values – do our profession’s
translate?
• Study found 84 statements about
ethics (international organisation,
governments, tech companies etc)
(Jobin et al., 2019)
• Bias
• Transparency and accountability
• Privacy / surveillance – chilling
effects
• Security and safety
• Human agency - nudging
• Voice assistants cannot understand
people with non-standard accents
• “Female” naming of chatbot
reinforces stereotypes
• Deepfakes create false news
• Automated moderation on social
media blocks legitimate free
expression
• Fear of surveillance inhibits
searching/ reading certain material
• My data being used without my
consent
14. Which of these barriers to using AI do you
think is the greatest?
1. Privacy concerns
2. Concerns about bias and lack of transparency
3. Security risks
4. GDPR compliance
5. Legal uncertainty
6. Issues of data quality in general
7. Over promising/ hype
8. Lack of information professional skills
9. Other people’s dated assumptions about what information professionals can do
10. IT owns the agenda
11. User fear of technology/ need for culture change
12. Other priorities
16. AI’s impact on jobs
• Replaced
• Dominated
• Divided
• Complemented
• Augmented
• Rehumanized
(GPAI, 2020)
Differences by sector
• Some scholars predict the
replacement of professionals
(Susskind and Susskind, 2015)…
others emphasise the
vulnerability of “routine” jobs
(Frey and Osborne, 2017)…
17. Skills and knowledge – updating for data and AI
• Information Management skills – apply to data – information governance,
standards, metadata, preservation
• Sourcing external data is a content challenge
• Collection management, including metadata, standards, IPR etc – data not print
collections
• Importance of data provenance for validity
• Procuring data and systems – different types of system
• Searching for data – new landscapes of search
• Teaching data & AI literacy – new dimensions of literacy, implies stronger
understanding of data analysis
• Knowledge of users’ need – assembling data from wide range of sources
• “Computational sense” (Twidale and Nichols, 2008)
18. Attitudes
• Service focus / balanced with sense of institutional agendas
• Collaborative skills / Influencing skills
• Commitment to professional development and learning
• Professional knowledge sharing
19. WEF (2020) – 10 skills to thrive in the 4th
Industrial revolution

2. Critical Thinking
3. Creativity
4. People Management
5. Coordinating with Others
6. Emotional Intelligence
7. Judgement and Decision Making
8. Service Orientation
9. Negotiation
10. Cognitive Flexibility
20. Addressing our weaknesses
• Other professions who talk more about data:
• I do not think we need to become data scientists (who combine stats/
computing/ subject knowledge)
• But other groups such as BCS, DAMA also talk about data management
• Literate profession – shift towards quanti data (according to
McKinseys)
• Lack of recognition for IM/KM
• When we see tech as outside force – IT control the agenda
• Not so good at collaborating across sectors
• Our diversity
21. Values
Example: CILIP’s ethical statement
1. Human rights, equalities and diversity, and the
equitable treatment of users and colleagues
2. The public benefit and the advancement of the
wider good of our profession to society
3. Preservation and continuity of access to knowledge
4. Intellectual freedom, including freedom from
censorship
5. Impartiality and the avoidance of inappropriate bias
6. The confidentiality of information provided by
clients or users and the right of all individuals to
privacy
7. The development of information skills and
information literacy
Offers a distinctive perspective on AI ethics
• Understanding of how inequality
reproduced?
• Relevance of sustainability, eg need
for green AI
• Consideration of global South
perspectives, eg issues around
language and operating in low
resource environments
• The ultimate drivers for
datafication lie beyond our control
