The reader’s ghost. Books and libraries in teen’s imagination, by Beatrice El...Luisa Marquardt
The PPT Presentation concerns the videorecorderd speech by Beatrice Eleuteri, PhD Student at Roma Tre University in Rome, on "The reader’s ghost. Books and libraries in teen’s imagination".
Abstract (EN)
We often believe that a child, yet a young adult, only needs to be taught how to read and write for us to feel in the right to reproach him if he doesn’t actually do it or if he’s not really good at it.Well, knowing how to read is not enough to motivate reading. Reading is an “habitus”, a suit that could fit tight, or loose, that we need to try on a couple of times in the dressing room before choosing to buy it. The school library is a guest-house, a place in which kids, especially culturally deprived ones, must feel safe and welcome to talk about stories, experiences, opinions. A forum to meet books of course, but also readers. A workshop meant to sew our personal reader’s habitus, rejuvenating it from its old mousy image and preparing it for us to grow inside it.

To (too?) Public: library Marketing and Public Relations in Public Libraries Today. Presentation by Virpi Launonen, Director
of Mikkeli City Library, Southern Savo Regional Library, Finland
1. Introduction Library information system34JeevanrajR
Libraries have long served as repositories of knowledge, offering access to a vast array of resources for scholars, students, and the general public. However, as the volume of information has exploded in the digital age, the role of libraries has evolved, necessitating sophisticated systems to manage and disseminate information effectively. This essay provides an introduction to library information systems, exploring their components, functions, and significance in modern society.
Components of Library Information Systems
Library information systems encompass a diverse set of components designed to facilitate the acquisition, organization, retrieval, and dissemination of information. At the core of these systems is the library management software, which serves as the central hub for cataloging resources, managing user accounts, and facilitating circulation processes. Integrated library systems (ILS) or library management systems (LMS) automate many routine tasks, such as inventory management, fine calculation, and interlibrary loans, streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.
Another critical component of library information systems is the online public access catalog (OPAC), which provides users with a searchable interface to discover and locate resources within the library's collection. OPACs have evolved from simple text-based interfaces to sophisticated platforms featuring advanced search capabilities, personalized recommendations, and interactive features, empowering users to navigate the library's holdings with ease.
In addition to these core components, modern library information systems often incorporate digital repositories, electronic resource management systems, and discovery layers to accommodate the growing diversity of formats and sources. These systems enable libraries to offer access to electronic journals, databases, e-books, and multimedia resources, expanding their reach and relevance in an increasingly digital world.
Functions of Library Information Systems
Library information systems perform a myriad of functions aimed at supporting the research, teaching, and learning activities of their users. One of their primary functions is resource discovery, enabling users to locate relevant materials efficiently through robust search capabilities, metadata enrichment, and faceted browsing. By providing access to a comprehensive array of resources, library information systems empower users to explore diverse perspectives, deepen their understanding, and foster intellectual curiosity.
Moreover, library information systems play a crucial role in collection management, helping librarians assess, acquire, and organize resources to meet the evolving needs of their communities. Automated workflows, collection analysis tools, and collaborative acquisition models facilitate strategic decision-making and resource allocation, ensuring that libraries maintain vibrant and responsive collections.
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.

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.

14. To conclusion…
Being a library user is an integral part of reading culture, not only of the young generation.
Through this role we can work on strenghtening reading habits of children and teenagers as well.
It is necessary to know that the reading culture is always a personality culture.
To get to know young readers as people with specific opinions and with developmentally determined conception of the world is overriding task.
