Employee Engagement: Turning Employees Into Social AdvocatesMathew Yurow
As marketers we sometimes overlook an important asset that is right under our nose – or in the next cubicle. Employee engagement is often forgotten when formulating marketing strategies and campaigns. Those who neglect it, miss an opportunity to harness the loyalty and interest of those who know the brand best. While cultivating communities in the workplace takes time and commitment, it’s an investment that will generate dividends day after day.

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.

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

Some addons like Print spine labels, print labels for serial
issues as checked in
Minimize customizations to keep it supportable
Reporting is very customized now
15. Local installation
MySQL vs. Oracle
Default installation currently has data used in testing and
development. Locations, setup from IU, Duke, Chicago
Might have a few hundred Chicago bibs/holdings
Plan to provide an empty db but not there yet, you need
some sample data to even play around
18. Local setup - Deliver
dev2 logon
Patron type, Item type, Location
Circulation Desk mapped to Locations
KRMS rules file has to match above info to work
Scheduled jobs (overdues, notices)
19. Local setup - Describe
admin logon

23. External assistance
Kuali Commercial Affiliates HTC and Vivantech possible
contractors
Atlas Systems and Dematic for integration with their
systems
Vufind community Kuali OLE community
OLE project support for early implementer library
24. Why do it?
Aging technologies, need platform to change as needed in the
future. Increase in Eresource use, integration
Frustration with vended solutions, private equity takeovers of
library vendors
Control costs
Control choice of enhancements
Open Source is not Do It Yourself, it is Do It Together
Expect continuing change
25. Happy Ending
Chicago a good candidate for early implementer

–
Unusually centralized for a large research library
Large database to test limits of software
Beta testing experience of library staff
Anxious to renew aging legacy systems
Success depends on community
– OLE partner contributions of staff expertise as well as money
– OLE platform can be shaken down and enhanced as more partners go
live
– Plan for the future together, linked data, more emphasis on electronic
resources
– The more the merrier!
