Cataloguing in Wales: are there professional benefits to exploring regionalitydarklecat
This document discusses the benefits of exploring regionality among cataloguers in Wales. It notes that Wales has a population of over 3 million people, 20% of whom speak Welsh, and the country is geographically divided by mountain ranges. The document proposes forming an all-Wales cataloguing group that would meet regularly and provide training sessions, discussion forums, and conferences to cataloguers in Wales to address their geographical isolation and lack of opportunities for collaboration. It also describes how the AWHILES partnership of 27 libraries across Wales addresses cataloguing issues through a shared cataloguer and support network despite their wide geographic spread.
The Carnegie Library Lab aims to promote innovation and leadership in libraries across the UK and Ireland. It provides funding, training, mentorship and evaluation support to early to mid-career library professionals to develop and implement innovative projects. The two-year program has supported two cohorts of 5-7 innovators each, providing £5,000-£15,000 per project. Participants receive online learning modules, build professional networks, and work with mentors and advisors to reflect on outcomes. The goal is to cultivate a new generation of library innovators and leaders, pilot innovative services, and share learning to advance the field.
The UK LOCKSS Alliance aims to preserve scholarly works digitally over the long term by building a community-run digital preservation system. It addresses threats like lost access after subscription cancellation, journal discontinuation, or publisher insolvency. Multiple libraries cooperate under LOCKSS to archive subscribed content they have rights to. This ensures preservation of at-risk digital resources with limited funds. Participation benefits include post-cancellation access and risk mitigation. The Alliance is coordinated by EDINA and guided by a steering committee of libraries. It identifies important at-risk works, develops policies, and encourages adoption to build a sustainable national preservation network.
Timothy Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist known for inventing the World Wide Web. He was born in 1955 in London and studied physics at university. While working as a contractor at CERN, he proposed a system using hypertext to allow researchers to share and update information. This led to him creating the first website in 1991 and developing HTML, URLs, and HTTP - the foundation of the modern web. He now works to improve and expand access to the web through organizations like the World Wide Web Foundation.

Using social media and quantitative metrics to engage the research communityNick Sheppard
The modern university Library comprises repositories, publishing platforms and social media and is central to the dissemination mission of the University. Recent progress towards ‘Open Access’ has enabled research to be more effectively disseminated via the internet and aggregated into an Institutional Repository, empowering institutions to disseminate their own research and monitor associated metrics. A repository is also an ideal home for grey literature and research data, where IPR is more likely to be retained by universities which are increasingly minting DOIs for this type of content, ensuring persistence and enabling (alternative) metrics. This case study will present a Library led social media initiative at the University of Leeds examining local challenges and presenting usage data from Altmetric.com, Twitter Analytics and IRUS-UK.
The University of Leeds is a research intensive Russell Group University with a well-developed ecosystem of research oriented Twitter accounts. These include both University branded accounts overseen by schools, faculties or research groups as well as a huge number of ‘personal’ accounts operated by individual staff or students. In 2012 an account focussed on research data was set up in the Library as part of the Roadmap project but was used only sporadically before being rebranded in 2017 and used more actively to engage with the research community, to promote both OA research papers and datasets.
Themes and challenges include quantitative metrics, institutional and departmental oversight of social media, operational implications and sustainability.

Creating a UK-wide network of LIS researchersHazel Hall
Presentation delivered at the Library Research Symposium. McMaster University, Canada, 3 November 2015.
The aim of the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Developing Research Excellence and Methods project, was to develop a formal UK-wide network of Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers (academic and practitioner). The project ran from January 2011 to August 2012, and was supported by the UK Library and Information Science Research Coalition.
The initial successes of the DREaM project were reported in a paper that Hazel Hall co-authored with Alison Brettle and Charles Oppenheim and presented at QQML 2012. Three years later in summer 2015, Hall and her colleague Bruce Ryan conducted further research to explore any lasting impacts of the project.
Those who attended three DREaM research methods workshops in 2011/12 were invited to complete a survey in June 2015. The survey questions focused on LIS work undertaken since the last DREaM workshop in April 2012. Respondents were asked to report on the use of the methods presented at the DREaM workshops; any new DREaM-inspired LIS research and publications, and their impacts; the influence of DREaM on individual career paths; and any on-going contact between those who developed relationships with one another over the course of the three workshops. Further data for the 2015 project – known as DREaM Again - were collected formally from focus groups and more informally through email contact with DREaM workshop participants.
In this presentation the main findings of DREaM Again are discussed.
The document summarizes presentations from various schools and academic units at New York University on their needs and visions for Sakai 3.

It also announces two sessions at the Sakai conference that will provide more details on NYU's academic-led development of Sakai 3.
The Ukrainian Library Association has made continuing education for librarians a top priority for over 17 years. In 2000, they established the Center for Continuing Library Education in partnership with other organizations to provide trainings, workshops, and conferences. Since 2009, the Bibliomist Program launched the National Training Center and 24 Regional Centers across Ukraine to create an educational network for librarians. Over 1430 librarians have been trained through interactive courses on topics such as technology, management, and ethics. Trainees have reported starting new library initiatives and services after their education. The ULA aims to design more courses and train an even broader audience of librarians going forward.
The Open University (OU) has played a leading role in open educational resources (OER) due to its long history of open and distance learning. It created the SCORE program to increase the use of OERs across UK higher education. SCORE supports OER projects through fellowships, creates and hosts OER content, and organizes engagement events to encourage OER adoption. Recent SCORE activities include new fellowships, expanding the OER collection, and hosting workshops on topics such as finding, evaluating, and creating OERs.
The document discusses guidelines for library services for international students produced by a project group formed in 2006. It provides definitions of international students and discusses why focusing on services for international students is important now given trends in globalization, competition, and growth in international students. It also summarizes research conducted by the project group which found that while most UK universities had international strategies, few libraries had specific strategies or staff dedicated to international students. The remainder of the document outlines key concepts libraries should consider when developing services for international students, such as managing expectations, staff development, adapting resources, information literacy support, communication, and developing an overall strategy. It also lists examples of best practices and provides information about workshops being held to discuss implementing the guidelines.

The LASSIE project sought to explore how libraries could use social software and Web 2.0 tools to better support distance learners. It conducted a literature review and case studies on topics like reading lists, resource sharing, podcasts and Facebook. The project found that blogs, social bookmarking, and podcasts helped enhance library services for distance users. It also developed an online information literacy course called IRIS. Moving forward, the project aims to evaluate IRIS and explore sharing information literacy resources more broadly to support distance learners' needs.
Problem-based learning is a structured, student-led process that begins with a problem as the starting point for learning. It involves students reading a problem aloud, describing the essence of the problem in a few sentences or a title. Students then brainstorm anything potentially relevant to the problem and systematically organize these ideas thematically. Finally, students identify learning outcomes phrased as researchable questions based on the issues organized in the previous stage.

The document discusses several key issues regarding the use of expert testimony in court:
1) What constitutes expertise and how is it defined in a legal context? Experts must provide objective, unbiased opinions within their expertise but cases show expert opinions can differ substantially.
2) How are expert opinions formed and evaluated, and what factors influence this? Expert opinions are not always robust and transparent, potentially misleading juries.
3) How can expert opinions best be communicated to juries to aid their understanding of complex scientific or technical issues? Effective communication is important as juries must consider expert testimony along with other evidence.

The document discusses how university websites present information about law programs and legal education. It notes that websites often show what universities want students to know rather than the information students want. It also discusses how websites could be improved by providing more consistent and navigable information across institutions, including criteria like teaching hours, assessments, employment outcomes, facilities, and fees. The document concludes that while law program websites have improved with more professional and visual content since 2004, information is still often fragmented and not always up-to-date.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
