Embracing Undergraduate Research; Creating the 'Arsenal'NASIG
The Center for Undergraduate Research (CURS) at Georgia Regents University (soon to be Augusta University) offers strong support for faculty-led undergraduate research. In collaboration with a student organization, the program director of CURS contacted the GRU Libraries to investigate how to start an undergraduate research journal for the university and identify a venue for publishing undergraduate research.
Since the University Libraries recently helped develop an open-access journal for the College of Education, which is hosted in the institutional repository, two librarians were able to utilize this experience and provide guidance to CURS and the student organization. They worked together on the creation of Arsenal: The Undergraduate Research Journal of Georgia Regents University (Augusta University),a new open access journal specifically aimed at publishing undergraduate research of current students. This session will discuss the process of establishing the journal’s identity, developing policies and processes, hosting and publishing the journal, as well as some of the challenges faced.

Academic libraries and publishers are fielding an increasing number of faculty/researcher text mining requests. This program will address these needs and offer some best practices. Specific examples from academic libraries will highlight the administrative and technical issues, while the resource provider perspective will focus on the challenges of rights management clearance and how to deliver the information, as well as the publisher philosophy on supporting digital scholarship efforts. The session will capture the issues from both sides and provide attendees with a framework for handling requests at their own institutions. In keeping with the theme "Embracing New Horizons" we will use this time to explore possibilities for better communication around digital scholarship issues, and the development of best practices, through appropriate channels.

New forms of usage data like altmetrics are helping librarians to make smarter decisions about their collections. A recent nationwide study administered to 13,000+ librarians at R1 universities shines light on exactly how these metrics are being applied in academia. This presentation will share survey results, including as-yet-unknown rates of technology and metrics uptake among collection development librarians, the most popular citation databases and altmetrics services being used to make decisions, and surprising factors that affect attitudes toward the use of metrics. This presentation will also offer actionable insights on how altmetrics are being paired with bibliometrics and usage statistics to form a more complete picture of “trending” scholarship that’s worth purchasing. Through sharing the survey results and opening up a discussion about the potential altmetrics hold for informing collection development, the presenters aim to provide a learning opportunity for attendees which will enhance their competencies for e-resource management, specifically, core competence for e-resource librarians 3.5, use of bibliometrics for collection assessment, and 3.7, identity and analyze emerging technologies.

Presenter: Lettie Conrad, Executive Program Manager, Discovery & Product Analysis, SAGE Publishing
When considering academic researchers’ information-seeking and retrieval needs, we often focus on search – optimizing for search, Google-like search for libraries, user preferences for one-box quick-search tools, and so on. But what about unplanned instances of discovery? Are new technologies, such as text mining and natural language processing, enabling new pathways that lead researchers to relevant material, perhaps even leading to surprising new connections across disciplines? Conversely, with the prevalence of satisficing, does serendipity even play a role when searching for information about a scholarly topic?_x000D_
Through a study of undergraduate students and their faculty members, as well as a survey of publisher and website offerings, this talk will summarize common user pathways and how today’s students and faculty use content recommendation tools with recommendations for how libraries and the scholarly communications community might respond.

The Future of Information Literacy in the Library: An Example of Librarian/Pu...NASIG
The last decade has seen immense growth in information sources and information output, which in turn has changed the way students and researchers find and use information. Following this, we’ve also seen a shift from the traditional “librarian as expert” role to the “librarian as teacher” role, where the imparting of information literacy skills and their embedding into the curriculum is recognized as a primary responsibility of today’s academic librarian.
This session will explore how librarians are becoming more involved with information literacy curriculum and how publishers can assist them, particularly regarding access to information and the scholarly publishing process.
In 2015 and early 2016, Rebecca Donlan, Assistant Director for Collection Management at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), and Stacy Sieck, Library Communications Manager at Taylor & Francis Group, created and implemented an information literacy program for FCGU students and faculty that focuses specifically on navigating the scholarly publishing landscape.This collaborative project includes the creation and launch of webinars and online toolkits that provide tips and information on how to get published in academic journals, understanding the peer review process, navigating Open Access publishing, promoting and resuing your work, and more.
During this session, Rebecca and Stacy will provide an update on the status of their information literacy project, including user feedback, webinar usage statistics, and tips and best practices for recreating a similar program at different universities.

The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data FutureNASIG
As libraries prepare to shift away from MARC to a linked data framework, new convergences in the metadata production activities of our libraries' technical services units, special collections, and digital libraries are becoming possible. In September 2015, the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI) was formed to leverage the existing collaboration between the Technical Services departments of Canada’s top 5 research libraries and the Library and Archives of Canada. Working cooperatively, our objective is to provide a path to linked data readiness for our institutions and leadership for the adoption of linked data by libraries across Canada. To achieve this goal, partner libraries are working across departments and institutions to create new workflows and tools and adapt to a new conceptual understanding of descriptive metadata. This presentation is a preliminary report on the progress made in five key areas of interest: digital collections, education and training, MARC record enhancement, evaluation of linked data tools and vendor supplied metadata. Building on existing initiatives, the CLDI is investigating the potential of integrating linked data elements into digitized collections, as well as MARC-based bibliographic and authority records, with the aim of fostering new and interesting pathways for resource discovery. To strengthen and expand the professional knowledge of staff, partner institutions are collaborating in the production of educational and training materials related to linked data principles and practices. The evaluation and potential development of linked data tools is another area of concentration. Finally, with the goal of changing workflows upstream, the CLDI is working to engage publishers and vendors in the linked data conversation. In addition to reporting on the work undertaken in the first year of the project, this presentation will also cover lessons learned and outline some of the new opportunities gained from working on a collaborative project that spans across multiple boundaries.

Open Access in the World of Scholarly Journals: creation and discoveryNASIG
Access to scholarly journals produced by commercial publishers is becoming more and more expensive, and open access to publicly-funded research results is increasingly mandated by funding bodies. In response to these and other motivators, the open access scholarly journal movement is growing. In the Canadian context, open access publishing has begun to get more traction in response to these factors, and in spite of some resistance by researchers. University and college libraries are getting involved in both the promotion and the creation of open access content. An example of this is the University of Lethbridge Journal Incubator, which publishes three open access journals from the University Library. We will explore some of the benefits and drawbacks of open access in scholarly communications.
One model of open access is the hybrid journal, which causes particular challenges for discovery and access. With access restricted at the article, rather than the journal level, it's surprisingly hard to get library users to OA content through catalogs, link resolvers, or even discovery tools. Chris will investigate some of the roadblocks and consult with publishers, librarians, and service providers to see what is currently being done to overcome this challenge. Are readers currently getting to OA content in hybrid journals through library systems and sites? Is the NISO License and Access Indicators Recommended Practice likely to change current practices? How are discovery tool vendors responding to this challenge? Can service providers outside of the traditional library content and software sector have an impact? After investigating all of these angles Chris will try to determine if there is a likely way forward and share what attendees can do to improve access to Hybrid OA journals in the short and long term.
Sandra Cowan is the liaison librarian for English, Modern Languages, Religious Studies and the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. She has research interests in digital humanities, scholarly communications, and research methods of creative workers.
Chris Bulock is the Electronic Resources Librarian at California State University Northridge. His research has focused on perpetual access, e-resource evaluation, and the effect of Open Access on collection development and e-resource management. He writes a column on OA issues in the Serials Review, and he is an incoming NASIG Member at Large.

What are we doing about data? Emerging roles in data librarianship and Tales ...Donna Kafel
Slides presented by Donna Kafel and Regina Raboin at the Oct. 13, 2014 meeting of the Oberlin Science Librarians at Williams College. Discusses pivotal events that have fostered the open data movement, emerging roles for librarians, resources from the NE e-Science Program, and the research data management partnerships and initiatives of Tufts University's Library Research Data Services Working Group.
Librarians are increasingly being asked to engage with
bibliometrics to help with institutional decision making.
However, few have professional qualifications in this area and
there is an onus on universities to do metrics responsibly. A
small project supported by the Lis-Bibliometrics forum and
Elsevier Research Intelligence Division is developing a set of
bibliometric competency statements to ensure practitioners are
equipped to do their work responsibly and well. This workshop
will report on progress to date and invite input into the project.
There is a growing trend towards a consolidation of services for Electronic Resource Management (ERM), A-Z journal listings, full text link resolving and discovery services under a single service provider. In many cases, the adoption of a discovery service from a provider that is not the same as the libraries' existing link resolver service means managing multiple knowledgebases. In this session, 3 libraries will provide an overview of their experience and strategies for maintaining separate link resolving and discovery services in lieu of adopting a full suite of services from a single service provider. Each speaker will provide a case study on the advantages and/or challenges of managing their chosen discovery service, EBSCO's EDS, Ex Libris' Primo and ProQuest's Summon, in conjunction with the CUFTS/GODOT open source knowledgebase/link resolver.

Promoting Open Access and Open Educational Resources to FacultyNASIG
Heather Crozier, presenter
Student debt is a compelling issue and many institutions are investigating solutions to ease the financial burdens of their students. Increasing the use of open educational resources benefits students by reducing course costs. Adopting OER in the classroom allows faculty more freedom in choosing instructional tools. Faculty also benefit from open access publishing by increasing their exposure. However, on the campus of a small, private institution, attendance at workshops to spread awareness and increase the use of these materials was minimal. Faculty had the perception that free resources could not be the same quality as traditional resources. In order to dispel this myth, the Electronic Resources Librarian and Educational Technology Manager collaborated to create custom one hour sessions for individual departments, leveraging library/faculty liaison relationships and the expertise of the office of educational technology. In the session, faculty learn more about open access publishing options, the value of open educational resources, the quality of many open educational resources, and where to find these resources. The session uses the course management system to both disseminate the information shared in the session and create a forum for departments to share resources with each other. Through the CMS, faculty gain access to vetted resources. All attendants have editing privileges within the site after the workshop, allowing them to curate course-specific lists for sharing and future reference. Pilot sessions have been well received and wider implementation is planned for the next academic year.

Managing research data is a hot topic in academic libraries. With increased government oversight of publicly-funded research projects, librarians must strive to meet the demand for innovative solutions for managing research information and training the new eneration of librarians to address this issue.
Transforming liaison roles for academic librarians is critical, as universities are moving to position themselves to meet the demands of a more competitive national research environment. At La Trobe University, librarians are repackaging current research support services to streamline and incorporate these more efficiently into the researcher’s life cycle, in order to support the University’s research initiatives

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

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.

44. Attitude
Do You
Believe?
Partners?
Capable and smart?
Have value?
Have potential?
Plenty of work for everyone?
Willing to learn from them (as much as you
want them to learn from you)?
45. Communication
Reach out?
Talking to them about their work
Celebrate their non-DM successes
Listening to their concerns and
recalibrating
Allowing dissent and disagreement to your
ideas
Consistent communication
46. Actions
Enable their
Success?
Working within their context?
Accept their boundaries?
Promoting them and referring to them?
Connecting them to opportunities?
Providing options for growth?
Helping them and allowing learning
through mistakes?
They don’t believe they / their faculty have data
I can’t believe they don’t know this!
They just aren’t motivated
They said it’s MY job
They won’t ask Questions
They say it’s a fad

University
Library Administration
Goals in the next six months (a few terms, basic RDM, when to hand off?)
Is your goal to have them educated about RDM or is your goal to have them DO RDM? What is their goal?
Support
Colleagues already engaged
Colleagues already burnt out
Did someone retire and their duties shuffled around?
Was it a newly created position when other departments desperately also needed more help?
Are you some flavor of short-term funding after which your duties will be reassigned?
Good example: Walk through with David and Cathy, promotion, face time for them, connected; Bad example: You met with one of my faculty I meet with thtem now and have no idea and now I feel stupid and poached. This has CONSEQUENCES
*highlight 1 example*
This was one of 6 competency lists dropped simultaneously on the liaisons: liaison, coll dev, spec coll, gov docs, scholcomm, and data management
Megan example
* Give them ONE thing
Tailor to your audience
Have an idea of what liaisons need
Partner don’t Impose
80/20 rule
Need vs. Want
Liaisons are both a stakeholder and a patron and marketing. You are in a support role to your liaisons. You also need to engage them as a stakeholder
Tina mentioned the reference interview
You are unlikely to get everyone on board. That doesn’t make you a failure and that doesn’t mean they are a failure.
