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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Presentation will look at:How the Library can use Mendeley to support its usersExplain a little about Mendeley and its featuresHow Library support can be provided to staff and students interested in using MendeleyAnd the benefits of using Mendeley to the Library
So what is Mendeley? It’s a reference manager, PDF organizer, and you can search, download and annotate material.In addition it describes itself as a social network, listing articles and topics that are trending with users, and suggesting possible material for you to use based on your history as a Mendeley user. You can create groups with which you can share information – also a news feed feature similar to Facebook on members of your group. You can also join public discussion groups in Mendeley too.It also describes itself as a crowdsource library – the more users sharing their material with Mendeley, the larger the pool of material is as it is not just based on databases but users own references and links.
So I suppose the first question to ask would be - Why use a reference manager? After all, we managed for years with stacks of notes! And how are they relevant to the library?
List reasons to use reference managers? Number of reasonsIt will help you to easily store and organise references for your researchYou can automatically format citations reference lists and bibliographies and amend them whenever you wish – removes the time consuming work of reference notes and formatting everything by hand – and helps the problems when citing in a difference format. This would be particularly useful for staff needing to submit a publication in a particular format.Explain Mendeley is one of several – refer to Zotero and EndNote Web– the library is currently providing support on EndNote.and there is a comprehensive support package provided by the library for this software. Also refer to Zotero use in 23 things
Advantages of using Mendeley – it’s not just a Reference Manager, it’s a social network, a collaboration tool, users can make a professional research profile public to raise their profile.Another plus is that it is free to download and works on most Windows, Mac and Linux.Also remember that this software can be used in conjunction with other services like EndNote Web and Zotero, but most crucial is the fact that it has been designed to be used both on multiple computers and available as an app on smartphones and tablets. This mobile capability I’ll return to later.
So how can the library promote Mendeley ? Important to promote it as an additional tool which increasing choice for users not to replace software already supported.
There should be a comprehensive level of support available on the library webpages. Including a dedicated webpage and email address. The webpages should have links out to the Mendeley page, a link to getting started and to download Mendeley. I’d also recommend a dedicated Twitter account, as Mendeley is very much a Web 2.0 tool, social networking makes sense for quick advice and help. Printed material could also be produced to send out to departments, with the Library. A QR code on the material could encourage users to access it in another way – the QR code could link to the Library Mendeley page.It might also be worth targeting pilot departments for whom Mendeley might be most suited to, gaining feedback on our support and training before it is expanded to the whole university.
Another important feature could be a blog maintained regularly with hints and tips, as well as news on upgrades. It would be important to encourage interaction with the social network side of Mendeley, so the blog could also welcome comments (obviously moderated), and ensure clear links to the Twitter feed. (and conversely tweet blog links when added)Also workshop sessions should be set up tailored for individual groups – perhaps general intro presentations in Research Exchange, or the Postgraduate Hub and during Get Started. Workshops could also be led by library staff in individual departments, and also drop in sessions at key points in the year (e.g. beginning of the academic year and before summer term). After initial introductory session, further workshops could look at more specific issues with using the software, and could be developed from feedback from early users in the institution.
The mention of workshops leads me to another key areato delivering excellent support, which is training. This is both for the staff disseminating information about Mendeley as well as providing training to users
important to remember that library staff will need training (probably during a vacation period) first to help cascade the information and present it albeit informally to their contacts. This could be done through presentations or a short online course (similar to 23 things) to give people a space to play with the software knowing help is at hand if needed. Also it would be useful to have a dedicated person or team who can be referred for specialist advice on Mendeley.For users, the training should be provided in as varied ways as possible – to accommodate the numerous ways people retain information. Written tutorials should be made available for download in pdf format, and on the webpage there should clearly defined getting started, trouble shooting, and FAQ sections. Video tutorials and webinars would be relevant tools to use to train too. I think another key thing regarding training would be working with the Academic Support Librarians to tailor training to the individual needs of departments.
We’ll focus now specifically on video tutorials:Mendeley already provides a wide selection of clear and freely available video tutorials for general users and supportHowever the library can enhance this by producing our own video and written content aimed at specific types of users from different disciplines, e.g. scientific, social sciences, humanities, law etc. as they often use different citation styles – use my example from art history to library studies (different format).These would benefit from input from ASLs regarding specific disciplines needs. If users can see specific tutorials for them it will help to increase engagement with both Mendeley and the library as a whole, as we will be seen to provide relevant and reliable support. Including case studies of individuals in different departments, focusing on how they use Mendeley and features of the software they find useful will also help to encourage this idea – that the library has relevant subject specific support away from traditional library resources. People engage more if they feel its relevant to them.
So why should the Library support Mendeley? Because as well as a reference manager it is also a Web 2.0 tool.
Mendeley interesting because as well as a reference manager, it has similar social networking capability to Twitter and Facebook, and is growing as a piece of mobile software – there is a Mendeley app free to download on your iPhone or iPad (SHOW PHONE) with a clean and easy search interface. Mendeley also has an open API (like Twitter), so apps are appearing to make Mendeley compatible with Android. This means that most smartphones could use Mendeley. The software also emphasises the increased importance on social networking and collaboration. This is relevant at a time when students and staff are often working at greater distance from their departments, and collaborating more widely. I can see a need for this as I see increased collaboration between universities internationally from publications I see coming in to the WRAP team.Also this software is free, so appealing to students who are already conscious of rising university costs. In many ways this could be the future of reference software – more emphasis on hand held devices, students (and often staff) can be rarely parted from their mobile phones (look at the students outside!). In a world constantly seeking greater connectivity, Warwick has always sought to be forward-thinking so it’s natural to anticipate how technology develops in this way. By doing this Libraries remain relevant to how information is gathered and disseminated and can take a leading role in supporting the changing requirements of students and staff, and introducing new ideas in research methods and practice.
