The document discusses 10 reasons why libraries are still better than the internet for obtaining information. It notes that while the internet has improved access, libraries provide safer spaces for discussion, preserve historical materials more reliably, and provide expertise from librarians in areas like identifying credible sources, protecting privacy, and preventing censorship. Overall, the internet is a useful tool but cannot replace the roles filled by physical library spaces and services.

Here Today, Gone within a Month: The Fleeting Life of Digital NewsFrederick Zarndt
In 1989 on the shores of Montana’s beautiful Flathead Lake, the owners of the weekly newspaper the Bigfork Eagle started TownNews.com to help community newspapers with developing technology. TownNews.com has since evolved into an integrated digital publishing and content management system used by more than 1600 newspaper, broadcast, magazine, and web-native publications in North America. TownNews.com is now headquartered on the banks of the mighty Mississippi river in Moline Illinois.
Not long ago Marc Wilson, CEO of TownNews.com, noticed that of the 220,000+ e-edition pages posted on behalf of its customers at the beginning of the month, 210,000 were deleted by month’s end.
What? The front page story about a local business being sold to an international corporation that I read online September 1 will be gone by September 30? As well as the story about my daughter’s 1st place finish in the district field and track meet?
A 2014 national survey by the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) of 70 digital-only and 406 hybrid (digital and print) newspapers conclusively showed that newspaper publishers also do not maintain archives of the content they produce. RJI found a dismal 12% of the “hybrid” newspapers reported even backing up their digital news content and fully 20% of the “digital-only” newspapers reported that they are backing up none of their content. Educopia Institute’s 2012 and 2015 surveys with newspapers and libraries concur, and further demonstrate that the longstanding partner to the newspaper—the library—likewise is neither collecting nor preserving this digital content.
This leaves us with a bitter irony, that today, one can find stories published prior to 1922 in the Library of Congress’s Chronicling America and other digitized, out-of-copyright newspaper collections but cannot, and never will be able to, read a story published online less than a month ago.
In this paper we look at how much news is published online that is never published in print or on more permanent media. We estimate how much online news is or will soon be forever lost because no one preserves it: not publishers, not libraries, not content management systems, and not the Internet Archive. We delve into some of the reasons why this content is not yet preserved, and we examine the persistent challenges of digital preservation and of digital curation of this content type. We then suggest a pathway forward, via some initial steps that journalists, producers, legislators, libraries, distributors, and readers may each take to begin to rectify this historical loss going forward.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

Sixteen years ago, American Libraries published Mark Y.
Herring’s essay “Ten Reasons Why the Internet Is No
Substitute for a Library” (April 2001). Technology has
improved exponentially since then—social media didn’t even
exist yet. But even the smartest phone’s intelligence is limited
by paywalls, Twitter trolls, fake news, and other hazards of
online life. Here are 10 reasons why libraries are still better
than the internet.
5. Contoso
S u i t e s
5
1. Libraries are safer spaces.
The internet brings people together, often in enjoyable and
productive ways, such as over shared interests (pop culture
blogs, fanfic sites) or common challenges (online support
groups). But cyberbullying and trolling can leave people
reluctant to engage with folks they disagree with or to share
their ideas in the first place. Libraries are places where people
can gather constructively and all are welcome.
6. Contoso
S u i t e s

2. Libraries respect history.
Web pages are ephemeral, and link rot is a real
problem. The content of library collections is much
more stable. Printed materials are generally
published on acid-free paper, which will not
disintegrate. And librarians are leading the way to
bring similar stability to the web through services
like the Internet Archive and perma.cc.
9. Contoso
S u i t e s

3. Librarians digitize influential primary sources.
While looking at historical artifacts is valuable, repeated
physical handling can damage them. Making digital versions of
important works available online—as in the National Library of
Medicine’s Turning the Pages project—is one solution. Library
digitization projects also provide information to people who do
not have the resources to travel to a particular library.
Librarians are using the emerging technology of the internet to
further the timeless mission of providing better access to
information. The internet is the platform that enables this
progress, but librarians are doing the work.
11. Contoso
S u i t e s
11
4. Librarians are leaders in increasing online
access to scholarly information.
The open access movement makes scholarly
articles available to all readers online, and
librarians have been strong advocates of the
movement for more than a decade. This access is
especially critical when reporting the results of
medical research, which is often funded by
taxpayer dollars.
12. Contoso
S u i t e s
12
5. Librarians are publishers.
Scholarly publishers still provide the journals and books that
researchers develop. But librarians have joined these efforts by
becoming publishers themselves. New librarian-led publishing
initiatives take full advantage of the web and generally make new
work available on an open access basis. One example of library
publishing, which is common in academic libraries, is
the institutional repository. These repositories collect and preserve
the broad range of a college or university’s intellectual output, such
as datasets gathered in research studies, computer code used in
software development, and conference proceedings.
13. Contoso
S u i t e s

6. Libraries host makerspaces.
Given that makerspaces provide venues for creativity,
learning, and community, it only makes sense that
libraries champion them. The maker movement has
grown rapidly—in 2016 there were 14 times as many
makerspaces as in 2006. Both public and academic
libraries host makerspaces. You can learn about
makerspaces online, of course. But to visit one you have
to venture into the physical world.
14. Contoso
S u i t e s
14
A makerspace is a
collaborative work space
inside a school, library or
separate public/private
facility for making,
learning, exploring and
sharing that uses high
tech to no tech tools.
15. Contoso
S u i t e s

7. Librarians can help you sort the real news from the
fake.
While a plethora of useful, accurate, and engaging content is
available online, the web is filled with inaccurate and
misleading information. “Click bait” headlines get you to click
on the content even if the underlying information is superficial
or inaccurate. Librarianship has always been about providing
objective, accurate, and engaging information that meets the
needs of a particular person. This has not changed, and it is
why librarians are experts in information literacy.
16. Contoso
S u i t e s
16
8. Librarians guide you to exactly what you need.
Google is an impressive search engine, but its results
can be overwhelming, and many people do not know to
filter them by content type (such as .pdf) or website
source (such as .gov). Google offers many search tips,
which are useful but generic. A conversation with a
librarian can clarify exactly what you are looking for and
figure out the best way to use Google—or many other
resources—to find it.
17. Contoso
S u i t e s
17
9. Librarians do not track your reading or search
history to sell you things.
Amazon’s book purchase recommendation feature is
useful for learning about new books. But this usefulness
comes at the expense of your privacy because your
reading data is valuable business intelligence for
Amazon. The same is true for your web searching
history, which is why you often see ads for a product for
weeks after searching for it just once. Librarians value
and protect your privacy.
18. Contoso
S u i t e s

10. Librarians do not censor.
One core value of librarianship, as
exemplified by the work of ALA’s Freedom to
Read Foundation, is thwarting censorship and
allowing the free and full exchange of ideas.
The internet is a powerful tool for information
sharing, but it takes human advocates to
stand for information freedom.
20. Contoso
S u i t e s
Libraries continue to provide benefits that
are both tangible—such as community
spaces and human interaction—and harder
to quantify—access, privacy, intellectual
freedom. The internet is an indispensable
and irreplaceable tool for modern living. But
it is not a library and will not replace the work
of librarians.
