Discovery is a key component of a library's services, and user expectations are high. Even if a web-scale discovery system isn't in the cards, there is plenty a library can do to improve discovery for their users. Librarians at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville have been engaged in an ongoing discovery improvement project encompassing the website, catalog, database lists and more, all based on extensive user feedback. The presenters will share successful strategies for evaluating and improving discovery, no expensive software or programming skills necessary.

The Kean Community was provided an open conversation about the value of interdisciplinarity for teaching, research, and community engagement. Divided into three dialogue segments, the workshop included outlining the development of ID courses and programs at Kean, addressing the conceptual meaning of inter- versus multi- and trans- disciplinarity, and an introduction to the new Interdisciplinary Studies Center as a Kean resource, housed within the College of Liberal Arts. The workshop offered practical, teaching-focused reflections on the methods and strategies that can be used in the course structure, set-up, delivery, and assessment of ID courses and minor programs. Application of the methods can be used to foster future cross-college interdisciplinary work and engage students in the classroom or as part of creative and scholarly works.

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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
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

Usability Testing
• Group walkthroughs (Oct/Dec 2006):
• 3 sessions conducted: 2 with IN Harmony partners
and 1 with usability participants from IU faculty and
student body
• Participants were walked through each
prototype and asked to respond to a series
of scripted questions.
• Overall feedback was positive
21. January 31, 2007 DLP Brownbag
Usability Testing Aims
1. Determine if the overall structure and organization is
clear and adequate.
2. Determine how users would conduct efficient browsing
of over 10,000 pieces of sheet music from four different
institutions
3. Determine various means by which users can
successfully search
4. Determine how users would use and manipulate search
results
5. Determine means by which users would access sheet
music
30. January 31, 2007 DLP Brownbag
Findings
• Browsing
– A-Z anchor lists are intuitive
– Browse by Subject is important!
– Users may be more likely to search for names and titles
rather than browsing
– Viewing cover art while browsing adds to the experience
but doesn’t require its own section
– Unknown dates could be estimated and considered
“uncertain”
31. January 31, 2007 DLP Brownbag
Prototypes
• Search
– Basic
– Advanced
– No results
– Search history
37. January 31, 2007 DLP Brownbag
Findings
• Searching
– Readily visible search tips are useful
– Keyword search box in banner goes unnoticed
– Advanced search fields meet users’ needs
– Field labels such as “geographic topic” require more
explanation
– Participants prefer to see all advanced search fields instead
of open/collapse feature
– Result suggestions are helpful when advanced query
produces no results
– Search history is helpful
38. January 31, 2007 DLP Brownbag
Prototypes
• Results
– Summary
– Record detail
42. January 31, 2007 DLP Brownbag
Findings
• Results
– Interest in being able to refine/broaden results, especially
after browsing
– Filtering “menu” evoked mixed feelings
– Functionality difficult to illustrate on paper
– Fields on result detail should be better prioritized on the
page
– Like ability to download a copy of sheet music
