Wikis in the Workplace
A look at several library staff(internal) wikis and a very quick overview of adding content and managing wikis
557 ahn ppt exercise
This document discusses how libraries are utilizing smartphone apps to remain relevant. It describes how libraries are using QR codes, community toolbars, virtual library cards, databases, catalogs, and e-journal portals on smartphones to provide convenient access to library resources and services. Examples are given of libraries that offer smartphone apps for quick access to the library catalog, research databases, and virtual replacement of physical library cards. The aim is to make libraries more mobile-friendly and accessible remotely through smartphone technology.
Citation and referencing - advanced

Presentation by Barbara Arnett and Valerie Forrestal (of Stevens Institute) for the METRO library council webinar: Three Tech Tools, One Objective: Improving Library Services.
Blogs & Wikis (and what you can do with them)
The document discusses blogs and wikis as tools for libraries. Blogs are organized by date and allow single authors to share news, events and stories about the library. Wikis are organized by links and allow multiple authors to collaboratively create and edit pages like subject guides and internal documentation. While blogs focus on one author and rarely change content, wikis enable editing of all content and constant updates to pages. Both are useful tools that should be chosen based on the specific needs and use case.
paradisec-conf
This document discusses the concept of dual levels of historical significance in digital data and the importance of preserving data with such dual significance. It addresses what historical significance means, how it can vary between local, regional, national and international communities, and how digitization can sometimes increase significance. It argues that data needs to be locatable, reusable, and machine-readable to have greater value when combined with other data, and that adding scholarly context and interpretation through metadata is important. The document closes by stating that unless data is discoverable and usable, there is little reason to make it openly available online, and that people create significance through applying data to knowledge and research.
Discovery bookmarklet - Metro Science Librarians SIG
The document describes a bookmarklet called oneSearch that was created to bridge the gap between Wikipedia and scholarly sources for student research. The oneSearch bookmarklet allows students to search the library's subscription databases from any webpage by clicking the bookmarklet without going through the library homepage. It was implemented using a JavaScript bookmarklet and the library's Summon discovery service. Analytics of bookmarklet usage show the number of clicks and search terms used, which can help libraries improve resource discovery.
Avoiding Plagiarism
This document discusses plagiarism and proper citation. It defines plagiarism as using another's work or ideas without credit. Plagiarism is considered cheating, prevents learning, and can be illegal. The document reviews acceptable sources to use, such as books, websites, interviews. It explains that a works cited page lists citations, or quotes, using publication information like author, title, publisher. Students are told to always cite sources, keep clear notes, quote and paraphrase properly, and include in-text citations and a works cited page.

Research myth-busting: Discover the truth about today’s library services and ...
Presented at the 2014 Kentucky Pedagogicon Conference, held at Eastern Kentucky University, this librarian-led discussion explored designing assignments and syllabi that effectively utilize the resources and services of a 21st century academic library. After reviewing real-world examples, the audience was asked to identify misguided research instructions that may lead 21st century students down a 20th century path.
When faculty design syllabi, they often design research assignments based on the experiences they had in libraries as graduate students. They may still view the academic library as a warehouse for the storage and preservation of bound journals, microfilm, and books. However, library resources and services have changed dramatically, just in the past 5 years.
Transformative changes in library collection development have included: the emergence of quality open access resources; the dominance of the eJournal over the print journal; the availability of scholarly eBooks; and the rise in digitally born content (eJournals, newspapers, primary sources, etc.). What was once considered a “bad” or untrustworthy format simply because it was found on the open web is now potentially valuable and should not be automatically discounted.
Academic libraries today provide vibrant spaces for collaboration, access to print and virtual collections, and librarians with expertise in delivering instruction that engages students in effectively evaluating all types of information sources. Effective assignment design and syllabi creation will help students be more effective in their research and better users of information. The products they create will be higher in quality and potentially more interesting to the reader.

This document summarizes Eastern Kentucky University's overhaul of its serials records and ledger structure in their Voyager system to improve efficiency. The overhaul was needed due to outdated fund codes, rollover problems, incorrect order records, and misalignment between Voyager and their Banner system. The overhaul involved restructuring the ledger, cleaning up serials records before and after rollover, and aligning acquisitions, serials check-in, and cataloging records. The changes improved their annual rollover process, EDI invoicing, reporting capabilities, and reconciliation between Voyager and Banner. It also improved communication and teamwork.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
