All types of libraries /information centres are organized to provide some basic services which are rendered either in anticipation or on demand from the users. The information services provided in anticipation are termed as alerting services as this alert the users about the new information of their interest. Broadly speaking the same is also termed as current awareness service . The primary aim of any library is to provide timely and quality services to its users

Getting Started With Omeka (DHSI 2015 Unconference)jkmcgrath
Slides from 2015 DHSI "unconference" session titled "Getting Started with Omeka." Slides are slightly tweaked / condensed from HASTAC Webinar slides used in early 2015 by Jim (see my SlideShare page for those slides).
Over the past decade, as the scholarly community’s reliance on e-content has increased, so too has the development of preservation-related digital repositories. The need for descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata for each digital object in a preservation repository was clearly recognized by digital archivists and curators. However, in the early 2000’s, most of the published specifications for preservation-related metadata were either implementation specific or broadly theoretical. In 2003, the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) and Research Libraries Group (RLG) established an international working group called PREMIS (Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies) to develop a common core set of metadata elements for digital preservation. The first version of the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata and its supporting XML schema was issued in 2005. Experience using its specifications in preservation repositories has led to several revisions, with the completion of a version 2.0 in 2008. The Data Dictionary is now in version 2.2 (July 2012), and it is widely implemented in preservation repositories throughout the world in multiple domains.

Technologie Proche: Imagining the Archival Systems of Tomorrow With the Tools...Artefactual Systems - AtoM
These slides accompanied a June 4th, 2016 presentation made by Dan Gillean of Artefactual Systems at the Association of Canadian Archivists' 2016 Conference in Montreal, QC, Canada.
This presentation aims to examine several existing or emerging computing paradigms, with specific examples, to imagine how they might inform next-generation archival systems to support digital preservation, description, and access. Topics covered include:
- Distributed Version Control and git
- P2P architectures and the BitTorrent protocol
- Linked Open Data and RDF
- Blockchain technology
The session is part of an attempt by the ACA to create interactive "working sessions" at its conferences. Accompanying notes can be found at: http://bit.ly/tech-Proche
Participants were also asked to use the Twitter hashtag of #techProche for online interaction during the session.
Digital Tools, Trends and Methodologies in the Humanities and Social SciencesShawn Day
This interactive seminar will explore trends and initiatives in the digital community of practice in the humanities and the social sciences. Participants will come away with a appreciation of from where the field has emerged and how it interacts with traditional disciplines. This seminar will be of interest to those in traditional disciplines as well as the wider academy as digital humanities is both collaborative and multidisciplinary in practise. It is intended to form a broad and easy introduction to the practise of digital humanities and will appeal especially to new scholar who is open to the potential to combine their traditional scholarship with digital tools and methodologies. It is *introductory* in nature.
Information sharing about Columbia University Library’s recent web archiving ...Anna Perricci
This presentation was given at the 2015 Archive-It partner meeting and contains some highlights from a recent web archiving conference held at Columbia University Libraries. More information about this conference, including presentation slides and videos, can be found on this page: https://library.columbia.edu/bts/web_resources_collection/Conferences/program.html
Information technology and resources are an integral and indispensable part of the contemporary academic enterprise. In particular, technological advances have nurtured a new paradigm of data-intensive research. However, far too much of this activity still takes place in silos, to the detriment of open scholarly inquiry, integrity, and advancement. To counteract this tendency, the University of California Curation Center (UC3) has been developing and deploying a comprehensive suite of curation services that facilitate widespread data management, preservation, publication, sharing, and reuse. Through these services UC3 is engaging with new communities of use: in addition to its traditional stakeholders in cultural heritage memory organizations, e.g., libraries, museums, and archives, the UC3 service suite is now attracting significant adoption by research projects, laboratories, and individual faculty researchers. This webinar will present an introduction to five specific services – DMPTool, DataUp, EZID, Merritt, Web Archiving Service (WAS) – applicable to data curation throughout the scholarly lifecycle, two recent initiatives in collaboration with UC campuses, UC Berkeley Research Hub and UC San Francisco DataShare, and the ways in which they encourage and promote new communities of practice and greater transparency in scholarly research.
In 2015, I created a web archiving fundamentals course for the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) program. This is a portion of the slide deck I used for that course.
Requirements Engineering for the HumanitiesShawn Day
This workshop explores how requirements engineering can be employed by digital and non-digital humanities scholars (and others) to conceptualise and communicate a research project.
requirementsEngineeringAs the field of digital humanities has evolved, one of the biggest challenges has been getting the marrying technical expertise with humanities scholarly practice to successfully deliver sustainable and sound digital projects. At its core this is a communications exercise. However, to communicate effectively demands an ability to effectively translate, define and find clarity in your own mind.
Google Tools for Digital Humanities ScholarsShawn Day
In this seminar we have introduced many lesser known, but potentially even more useful tools to scholars such as the particularly powerful Google Fusion Tables and Google Trends to the simple but powerful Google Keep among others. This just scrapes the surface with a series of tools that evolve everyday and with new tools emerging and other fading away after contributing to our scholarly imagination.
Mapping your data can help to provide new insights on your research findings. However, many scholars are put off by the steep learning curve demanded by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) such as ArcGIS from ESRI. New and simple tools have become available that offer sophisticated output without extensive training. In fact, tools such as Google Maps, Google Earth, Open Street Map among others can offer immediate returns in a matter of hours where tasks in the past required, weeks, months and even years of training.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Collections and Items
!
‣
The first step is to plan your exhibit as items cannot be
spontaneously organised.
55. Step 5 Create an Exhibit
‣
Time spent at this stage is essential - define the display
architecture
65. Planning an Omeka Site
1. What are the primary goals of the website?
2. Who is the primary audience of this website?
1. Secondary audiences?
3. What sections will this website include?
1. Items: (renamed however you would like Archive/Sources/Objects)
links to a browseable list of items, sortable by type of item and tags.
2. Collections (renamed however you would like): groups of items,
public can dig through collection to find items.
3. Exhibits: (renamed however you would like) Exhibits contain
interpretative text and rely on items/sources/objects as their
building blocks.
4. About-- a simple page good for publishing project descriptions,
credits, rights, et al
66. What About Items in this Website?
1. The item is the building block of your site.
1. Add the objects and materials you want to
display in your site.
2. Add descriptions using some or all of the
standard Dublin Core fields.
3. Once you have items in the Omeka archive,
then you can build an exhibit with them
or display categories of items organized
by collections or tags.
2. Determine the types of items/sources/objects
you plan to use in this site: (ie, Document,
Still Image, Moving Image, Audio, et al),
3. Do you want to modify any of the item type
fields or types? See Item_Types for
additional types and explanations.
4. Do you need additional core fields? —>
Install the Dublin Core Extended plugin.
5. It is wise to determine before you start
building the item archive what type of
consistencies you desire in your metadata-this may be especially true for fields such
as date, publisher, creator, et al.
6. Would you like to establish your own
Controlled Vocabulary for specific metadata
fields, to make it easier for your team to
enter consistent data? —> Install Simple
Vocab plugin.
7. Do you need Library of Congress subject
headings? —> Install Library of Congress
Subject Headings plugin.
67. What About Items in this Website?
1. Do you want to establish a controlled tagging
schema? You may add tags to individual
items and exhibits. Before building your
archive you may want to devise this schema
to help control vocab and spelling. Tags can
help you pull together different items for the
purpose of arranging them on a map or
creating navigational links to browse items
with a specific tag.
2. Do you have materials in other databases or
repositories? You may be able to batch add
them into your Omeka site. Can items be
exported in a Comma Separated Value
format? —> CSV Import plugin.
3. Is there an OAI-PMH harvestable set? —>
OAI-PMH Harvester plugin.
4. Do you have hundreds of files, or large media
files? —> Dropbox plugin.
5. Do you want to display items on a map? —>
the Geolocation plugin, you must geolocate
each item individually.
6. Are you interested in collecting materials
from your visitors through a web form, such
as a story or textual reflection, photos,
videos, et al. —> Contribution plugin to
facilitate collecting.
7. Do you want to build an exhibit with your
items? —> the Exhibit Builder plugin.
68. Thinking About Displaying Items
1. Do you want to add social bookmarking icons to the bottom of items/
show to allow users to share links to that item w/their social
networks?
1. —> the Social Bookmarking plugin.
2. Do you want to open commenting on items (only available at item
level, and for all items or none)?
1. —> the Commenting plugin.
3. Do you want to create and print QR Codes that link visitors in a
physical place to individual items in your Omeka site?
1. —> the Bar Code and Reports plugin.
4. Do you have documents that you wish users to read through on the
screen rather than downloading them?
1. —> the DocsViewer plugin.
