Strategic collection management through statistical analysisNASIG
Libraries collect and use many different types of statistics, but effectively managing them is a challenging opportunity for libraries to understand statistical trends through analysis. Stephanie H. Wical and Hans Kishel surveyed and interviewed Wisconsin academic libraries in order to understand what statistics these libraries currently collect. What tools and measures do Wisconsin academic libraries use and for what purpose? What do these libraries consider best practices? New tools have been developed that help manage statistics but questions remain. How do we compare statistics across vendors? What measures are libraries using and why? Have Wisconsin academic libraries discovered effective ways to manipulate and present their data? How do libraries value and prioritize uses of statistics that they collect? Is it possible to analyze statistics to paint a compelling picture to justify collection development decisions or planning? Lastly, how can we begin to assess how successfully we use statistics for various purposes? This presentation explores these questions as well as several case studies that highlight examples of real libraries and how they manage statistics. It is our hope that this talk will help engage library staff in a discussion about how to most effectively manage library resources.

What's Up with Docs?!?: The Peculiarities of Cataloging Federal Government Se...NASIG
As capricious and prone to unpredictable changes as serials in general library collections, government documents serials possess special features that make them particularly difficult to catalog and manage, from government documents-specific MARC fields and coding to SuDoc numbers and distinctive enumeration that can complicate holdings statements. Electronic government documents serials present another set of complex cataloging challenges involving GPO's use of the single-record approach in serial records. Ensuring that cataloging records reflect the unique characteristics of government documents serials and yet "play well" with other serial records in the library ILS can be tricky, particularly if the cataloging of government documents serials is performed by staff outside the department. Each of the three presenters brings a specific perspective on these peculiarities: Fang Gao describes the cataloging of government document serials from the perspective of a cataloger working at the Government Printing Office's Library Technical Information Services Department--providing a voice from the source. Joseph Nicholson offers the point of view of the local cataloger who must make government documents' records conform to the guidelines of the individual library's online catalog. Stephanie Braunstein will moderate and share her frustrations, mostly having to do with providing logical and uncomplicated access to government information, as a Government Documents Department Head in a Regional Federal Depository Library that also happens to be a library in a major research library.

Many serials titles still exist in print only, and major commercial digitizing efforts often overlook titles that are not widely held. If out of copyright, these titles can be digitized by libraries, giving this old scholarship new life. Many libraries do some sort of digitization of textual materials, but too often serials experts are not involved. The titles may not be presented in ways that pull the serial together while also allowing article level linking. Serials experts can be valuable contributors to these digitization projects. This presentation will provide information on how to digitize text efficiently and how serials are being presented in digital collections. Serials specialists will learn ways that they can contribute to local digitization efforts to help ensure these titles are presented as effectively as possible.

Ctrl + Alt + Repeat: Strategies for Regaining Authority Control after a Migra...NASIG
Speaker: Jamie Carlstone
This presentation is on how to regain authority control in a large research library catalog: first, dealing with a backlog of problems from years without authority control and second, creating a process for ongoing workflows to realistically maintain authority control when new records are added to the collection.
The Serial Cohort: A Confederacy of CatalogersNASIG
Speaker: Mandy Hurt
In 2018, at a time when our department was shrinking through attrition, the decision was made to further leverage the particular skill sets of a select group of monographic catalogers by training them to also undertake the complex copy cataloging of serials.
This presentation concerns the assumptions underlying how this decision was originally made, the initial plan for how this would be accomplished by CONSER Bridge Training, the eventual formation of the Serials Cohort with a view to creating an iterative process I would design and manage, and the problems, obstacles and time constraints faced and addressed along the way.
Calculating how much your University spends on Open Access and what to do abo...NASIG
Librarians are working hard to understand how much money their university is spending on open access article processing fees (APCs), and how much of what they subscribe to is available as OA. This information is useful when making subscription decisions, considering Read and Publish agreements, rethinking library open access budgets, and designing Institution-wide OA policies.
This session will talk concretely about how to calculate the impact of Open Access on *your* university. It will provide an overview on how to estimate the amount of money spent across a university on Open Access fees: we will discuss underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend and give an overview of useful data sources, including:
FlourishOA
Microsoft Academic Graph
PLOS API
Unpaywall Journals
We will also talk about Open Access on the subscription side, including how much of what you subscribe to is available as open access and how you can use that in your subscription decisions and negotiations.
The presenters are the cofounders of Our Research, the nonprofit company behind Unpaywall, the primary source of Open Access data worldwide.

Measure Twice and Cut Once: How a Budget Cut Impacted Subscription Renewals f...NASIG
Speakers: Ilda Cardenas, Keri Prelitz, Greg Yorba
The process of looking at subscriptions with the goal of proactively downsizing revealed that the library’s existing renewal workflows were outdated and in need of regular analysis to identify underused resources. Additionally, this project uncovered shortcomings of analysis that is reliant on usage data, the unexpected ramifications of large-scale subscription cancellations, as well as the need for improved communication within and between the many library departments affected by subscription cancellations.
Analyzing workflows and improving communication across departments NASIG
Presented by Jharina Pascual and Sarah Wallbank.
The presentation provides people with simple techniques for analyzing their local workflow and information-sharing practices, some ideas for interrogating and improving intra-technical services communication, and ideas for simple changes that can improve communication and build a sense of community/joint purpose within or across departments.
Supporting Students: OER and Textbook Affordability Initiatives at a Mid-Size...NASIG
Presented by Jennifer L. Pate.
With support from the president and provost of the university, Collier Library adopted strategic purchasing initiatives, including database purchases to support specific courses as well as purchasing reserve copies of textbooks for high-enrollment, required classes. In addition, the scholarly communications librarian became a founding member of the OER workgroup on campus. This group’s mission is to direct efforts for increasing faculty awareness and adoption of OER. This presentation discusses the structure of the each of these programs from initial idea to implementation. Included will be discussions of assessment of faculty and student awareness, development of an OER grant program, starting a textbook purchasing program, promotion of efforts, funding, and future goals.
Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

Presented by Jenny Hoops and Margaret McLaughlin.
As web accessibility initiatives increase across institutions, it is important not only to reframe and rethink policies, but also to develop sustainable and tenable methods for enforcing accessibility efforts. For institutional repositories, it is imperative to determine the extent to which both the repository manager and the user are responsible for depositing accessible content. This presentation allows us to share our accessibility framework and help repository and content managers craft sustainable, long-term goals for accessible content in institutional repositories, while also providing openly available resources for short-term benefit.
Linked Data is exploding in the library world, but the biggest problems libraries have are coming up with the time or money involved in converting their records, looking into Linked Data programs, finding community support, and all the various other issues that arise as part of developing new methods. Likewise, one of the biggest hurdles for libraries and linked data is that they do not know what to do to get involved. As we have fewer people available and smaller budgets each year, we would like to explore ways in which libraries can get involved in the process without expending an undue amount of their already dwindling resources. To see how linked data can be applied, we will look at the example of the Smithsonian Libraries (SIL). Over the past 18 months, SIL has been preparing for the transition from MARC to linked open data. This session will talk about various SIL projects and initiatives (such as the FAST headings project and the introduction of Wikidata and WikiBase); how to incorporate linked data elements into MARC records; and how to develop staff and give them proficiency with new tools and workflows.

Walk this way: Online content platform migration experiences and collaboration NASIG
In this session, a librarian and a publisher share their perspectives on content platform migrations, and the Working Group Co-chairs will describe the group’s efforts to-date and expected outcomes. Our publisher-side speaker will describe issues they must consider when their content migrates, such as providing continuous access, persistent linking, communicating with stakeholders, and working with vendors. Our librarian speaker will describe their experience and steps they take during migrations, such as receiving notifications about migrations, identifying affected e-resources, updating local systems to ensure continuous access, and communicating with their front-line staff and patrons.

Knowledge Bases: The Heart of Resource ManagementNASIG
This session will discuss the knowledge base metadata lifecycle, current and upcoming metadata standards, and the effect that knowledge bases have on discovery and e-resource management. The presenters will look at ways knowledge bases can be leveraged to create downstream tools for resource management and discovery. The session will also provide different perspectives on knowledge bases, including from librarians and product managers, as well as a discussion of the NISO's KBART Automation recommended practice and what this could mean for knowledge bases in the future. The session will also include a conversation regarding how leveraging knowledge bases can aid librarians in improving resource discovery within their own libraries and ultimately decrease the amount of time spent on metadata workflows. Through this presentation, we also aim to improve communication between the library community and metadata providers and creators.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

2) Preference of fonts – The journal can pick a font that they would like to use on the Web site.
Please be aware that the font you choose will most likely change to one of the seven closest
Web-Safe Fonts for the website, but may be used in other parts of the design including the
banner and the Word template.

Banner
The banner can consist of images that are provided by the journal (to reflect or match
an existing site) OR create a custom banner, which can include the following:
Examples of journal banners
1) Journal’s Title and Subtitle with type treatment .
2) Graphic elements, which can include stock images provided by us and/or other images
provided by the journal.
3) A journal-provided logo (if available—but it is not required that you have a logo).
a) The University Library System, University of Pittsburgh will not provide this service.
b) If you would like to place a logo in the banner but do not have one, the following is
suggested for obtaining a professional-looking logo.
1. Contact a design firm where a team of designers can research what
would best represent the journal.
2. Contact a freelance designer who can research your journal to
determine what would best represent the journal.
3. Search logo-design Web sites to purchase one that may best
represent the journal. Some sites will have the option to order a
logo especially created for you.
3. Page | 3
Submitting Imagery
Files should be submitted as a JPG or PNG files. The image file should be least 1600px X 1200px and
300dpi for best output for both print and Web design.
For Web images, it may be of smaller dpi, but larger images are preferred to allow for cropping where
needed.
Also, it is important to have the appropriate copyright permission for all images submitted.
Please note the following
1. Lower-quality files can also be submitted (if necessary) but are not preferred due to low-
quality output when trying to print these image files. As a result, these files may be rejected
after review.
2. Other file formats such as TIFF and GIF can be submitted but may be rejected after review.
3. Extremely rich and vibrant colors may have a color shift when converting to CMYK for
printing. This is something we will try to avoid and adjust as much as possible when
converting your file from RGB (Web) to CMYK (print); however, it is best that the journal is
aware of this possible slight color change.
Example of journal provided images
4. Page | 4
Submitting Logos *We do not provide this service, and having a logo is optional and not required.
Previously created logos
These logos are best submitted as an EPS file.
Example of journal provided logo
Suggestions for creating a new logo
For the best results have your designer use a vector-based program like Adobe Illustrator.
Logos should be in a vector format to allow for good results regarding resizing and avoiding pixelization
of the logo. The preferred file type is an EPS or AI file with everything in outlines.
PDF files can also be accepted, but possible font issues may occur if the designer does not have the
particular font that was used.
The files described above allow the designer to resize the logo and place it anywhere on the Web site
(e.g., a change to the layout of the banner). This format would also allow the designer to enlarge the
logo for use in the Word template for articles.
As a precautionary note, however, Illustrator also allows the option of adding rasterized effects, which
should be avoided when creating any of the files mentioned above. Files with these raster effects may
result in some unexpected outcomes.
Using Adobe Photoshop
Unfortunately, logos created in Photoshop are not recommended. However, if a logo was created in
Photoshop, you are required to provide at least two files, one for print and one for web, because it is a
raster-based program and it is problematic regarding the resizing and pixelization issues mentioned
above.
Usually acceptable files from Photoshop include PNG, GIF, JPG, or TIFF.
EPS and PDF files can be created from Photoshop, but these files are generally not completely vector
based, which may result in some unexpected outcomes.
If any there are any issues concerning the submission of your logo, you will be contacted as
soon as possible to resolve the issue.

Timeline for Development and changes of banner image and css layout
A graphic design meeting will be scheduled shortly after the initial implementation overview and
training.
At the initial graphic design meeting, we will discuss your general preferences for the look and feel of
the journal, including all the design elements in section above. This is an opportunity for you to share
other sample Web sites, printed publications or any other design ideas that will help us understand the
look and feel you wish to achieve.
At the initial design meeting, we will set a target deadline for development of the draft design based on
client schedule requirements, the complexity of the design work, and our in-house scheduling
capabilities and constraints.
A second design meeting will be held at the end of the initial design period for review of the draft design
and css layout work. Following this meeting, the design will be refined according to the journal’s
specifications. The journal will have one month to request design changes, after which the site design
process will be closed.

Part 2: Microsoft Word Template
An important element of the graphic design for a journal is the development of a standard template that
defines the appearance, formatting, and layout of every article. For better or for worse, the appearance
of an article may greatly affect the reader’s perception of the reliability and validity of the content.
Many readers will choose to print individual articles for reading. When printed, the article becomes
separated from the online environment. Therefore, the template should include enough information so
that a complete citation to the work can be reconstructed from the printed article, and so that the
reader can identify and locate the Web site from which the article came.
Since the design of the template should harmonize with the design of the journal Web site, design of the
standard Article Template cannot begin until the journal Web site design is complete.
Items included for every journal template

Timeline for development of word template
After formatting the Web site’s look and feel with the banner and css layout changes, a meeting will be
set up to discuss your general preferences for the Word template’s design. This design will reflect your
Web site as much as possible. This is an opportunity for you to share other sample journal article layouts
that you like and how you would like your article layout to look, as well as to help us understand the
look and feel you wish to achieve.
At the initial design meeting, we will set a target deadline for development of the template based on
client schedule requirements, the complexity of the design work, and our in-house scheduling
capabilities and constraints.
A second design meeting will be held at the end of the template design period for review of the
template. Following this meeting, the design will be refined according to the journal’s specifications.
After these changes have been implemented, the designer will provide the journal with the template.
You will also be given a template help guide that should aid you in using the template and familiarize
you with its features. At this point the journal will have one month to request further design changes,
after which the initial template design process will be closed. You will then be given a final template for
formatting your journal’s articles. Your template help guide will be updated with any newly requested
information and/or styles that have been created.
However, as your journal begins to change, the template/help guide can easily be updated to reflect
these changes, which will be done by the designer.
