The Library as a gamechanger in times of social crisisLiz McGettigan
TURNING WHISPERS INTO ROARS – THE LIBRARY - THE GAMECHANGER IN TIMES OF SOCIAL CRISIS
As the threat from Covid-19 increased, library services across the world rapidly realigned, this period saw a dramatic transition to online-only provision of library services, operations, access to collections, and audience engagement at an unprecedented speed. This DIGITAL PIVOT provided a shift for us from collections to connections to supporting our communities, their learning, the caring and new programming. It is a unique moment in time for us to explore opportunities and experiences during this period of extraordinary and rapid service realignment. Now is the time to capitalise on how libraries have supported their communities, to build on the success and promotion that the digital pivot provides. The opportunities this has presented for the library’s audience to shift, grow and change, bringing more people into contact with the library, in different ways, and for different purposes.

User-Centered Research on the Paying for College Website and Tools - EDUI 2014Jennifer Romano Bergstrom
The Paying for College website is designed to help consumers make informed decisions about college finance. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) began development with a user-centered design process for this tool-set, which is now in its 4th iteration. The college cost and financial aid comparison tool, a central feature of these resources, supports efforts by the Department of Education to standardize financial aid disclosures.
During this session, we’ll cover the most recent rounds of usability testing conducted with multiple groups across the U.S. We’ll highlight difficulties when designing and testing for multiple audiences with different needs as well as testing and iterating with live and prototype versions of the site. Data will also be emphasized as we share collection methodologies (click paths, eye tracking, questionnaires, etc.) and the importance of each. We’ll also provide insights into planning, execution, and reporting and how these findings informed major changes on the website.

This slideshare is the first of a series explaining what is Pretotyping, and how to use it for early market validation.
Pretotyping helps companies with Innovation Concept Testing.
a.k.a. Make sure you are building THE RIGHT it, before you build IT right!
Pretotyping was dubbed as "the future of concept testing" by Brand Genetics, London's independent insight and innovation consultancy for consumer brands.
Pretotyping is about validating the market appeal and actual usage of a potential new product objectively and with the smallest possible investment of time and money.
Pretotyping was born in 2009 in Google by the hands of Alberto Savoia, at that time Technical Director and Innovation Agitator. The objective of Pretotyping has always been to provide large corporations with the tools to "Invent like startups, go to market like grownups".
Pretotyping is widely used as a key tool for early validation of Innovation at leading US corporations, and is now taking the leap across the pond to the UK and Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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

Homeless Shelter Webinar 2010
1. Libraries & People in Need Responsive Service to Homeless in Your Rural Community Sonja Plummer-Morgan, MLIS and Steve Eyler, Second Life Homeless Resource February 10, 2010
2. What we hope to accomplish Explore perceptions and attitudes about people who are homeless in our libraries. Discuss some experience-based solutions to social problem of homelessness. Offer question & answer time for best practices and effectiveness
4. “A dirty little secret about America is that public libraries have become de facto daytime shelters for the nation's street people while librarians are increasingly our unofficial social workers for the homeless and mentally disturbed.” America Gone Wrong: A Slashed Safety Net Turns Libraries into Homeless Shelters http://www.alternet.org/story/50023/
5. Which One is Homeless? Challenge your perceptions and your assumptions.
6. “Our public library should not be a refuge for some homeless people who will use its bathrooms to bathe and de-louse, who will slumber away for hours, who will play boisterous games of chess and stagger drunk around the stacks, leaving behind boozy vapors.” http://www.seattlepi.com/jamieson/174413_robert21.html OR Any person or family that, without any direct fault on his or her part, does not have suitable housing is the victim of an injustice.“~Pontifical Commission Justice and Peace Both streams of thought are in your community. Librarians need to be proactive and prepared to address public opinion before they disrupt library advocacy.
7. Libraries as Day Shelters How many have people who are homeless in their library everyday? What are they doing? Sleeping? Computing? Job seeking? Home hunting? Reading? Socializing? Do you know? Observing what your patrons do while at your library is a good starting point. What services can you provide?
8. Are policies the Answer? No sleeping in the library! No leering! No checking out books if you do not have a permanent address! No loitering! No panhandling!
9.
10. Second Life Homeless Shelter Library for Evidence and Anecdotal Based Information for Staff and Patrons—Education is key.
11. Reach out & Collaborate Know your community – what rich human resources are nearby that you can tap into and have some help problem solving? Social services, police departments, volunteers, faith-based initiatives, school districts, and other non-profits. Is anyone in your list better at handling crisis, social service issues, answer discrimination or legal questions?
12. Our Response Installed a public phone Joint training with shelter staff and keep close contact with director Keep directories to various churches and social services in ready reference Collaborated with employment center Created virtual resources in Second Life Launched extensive customer service campaign/training
13. Librarians as Leaders The social problem of homelessness is estimated to be rising in severity. Librarians and partners have an opportunity to be part of the sollutions.

Editor's Notes
First one said to deter a building project in NYC – two schools of thought. Both will be in your community.
What, if anything, is your library able to do to facilitate?
