A new typology for library buildings in the 21st century: trends and post-occ...CONUL Conference
Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Karen Latimer, Queen's University Belfast.
Abstract
"The impact of electronic resources and the changes in information provision have had a significant impact on the design of library spaces in the 21st century. Contrary to some doom-laden predictions, however, the demise of the physical library has not come about and libraries have embraced technology rather than been ousted by it. Indeed the relationship between electronic resources, print material, library users and architecture has sparked off a new interest in library design. The need to create attractive and welcoming spaces for the digital library, spaces that are conducive to learning, and staff workspaces that are fit for purpose is a major challenge for any of us looking at library spaces – large or small. Needs of users have now become paramount and there has been a clear move away from designing library spaces to house collections to ones that foster creating connections between users and resources, users and each other, and users and library staff. This talk will look at recent trends in the design of libraries and library spaces and the impact on design of technological advances, the shifting balance between print and electronic collections, and social and pedagogical change.
A further focus of the talk will be on post-occupancy evaluation. As library staff become less concerned about metrics for shelving stock and concentrate more on how spaces are used and user reaction to new spaces, it becomes increasingly important to identify what works and what doesn’t. A key element in establishing which aspects of design have been successful and which less so is post-occupancy evaluation (POE). This talk will touch on recent work being carried out on POE by such bodies as IFLA and LIBER and how information generated from evaluation exercises can be used to solve problems, help decision-making and feed back into future planning programmes.

This presentation is derived from a short research paper accepted to the i3 conference, which is being held at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen between 23rd and 26th June 2015. Conference themes include information and its societal impact. The research was carried out in June 2014, and sought to determine the impact of those grassroots campaign groups which are fighting to save substantial portions of their library provision from closure. These groups have proliferated across the UK, and are engaged in an ongoing struggle with their respective local authority decision makers.

The meaning and value of web archives for researchPeter Webster
A presentation given at the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek in Frankfurt am Main, 28 November 2018.
I outline the current state of world Web archiving and the nature of the archives that are produced. I then examine the kinds of questions that historians and other scholars may use web archives to answer, with case studies from my own work and that of others.
The new director of The Danish Library Association, Mr. Michel Steen-Hansen, gives a short introduction to The Danish Library Association based on a special association structure with local politicians as well as library professionals on the Council.
A main theme of this introduction will be to what degree political consensus is needed in this kind of organizational setup.
The Danish Library Association is organized on the basis of a number of local associations working on regional level. These local associations elect representatives to the Council of the National association. The Council elects from within its members an Executive Committee with ten members including a president, who is always a politician, and two vice presidents, one a politician and the other a library professional.
Michel Steen-Hansen will then introduce some current issues in focus,
including free an equal access in the modern society and some new programs
at the Libraries Denmark
Speakers: Michel Steen-Hansen, Executive Director, Danish Library Association

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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
