The document discusses the history and future of online public access catalogs (OPACs) in libraries. It describes how early OPACs mimicked card catalogs but now "Next Generation" OPACs offer new interactive features like faceted searching, tags, and social networking tools. The future of OPACs involves new models like Blacklight that make searching more intuitive. Two ideas for the future are having no central catalog or a worldwide central catalog.

S9c1 chapter 1-facts and figures on health.Shivu P
Health is a continuous state of physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, and the person should be able to lead socially and economically productive life (WHO definition). It is very much essential to maintain the health of all the people all the time to keep ourselves healthy, happy and long living. For example you cannot fly peace fully in the flight if someone tells that some people in the same flight is having H1N1 infection. Whether it is communicable disease or non communicable it is necessary to keep all the people healthy. For example a young driver getting painless myocardial infarction can consume the life of all the passengers of his bus or the bus can hit the VIP's car travelling in the same road. So the leaders of the nation / world should not have the attitude that why should I bother if someone is sick somewhere. I feel the leaders of the nation and the world will understand the importance of maintaining the health of all the people with this simple examples. In this chapter some of the facts and figures related to the health is mentioned and it tells that we have not achieved the goals in health, that, what we can achieve for whatever the reasons. The reason may point towards anything like the doctor, minister, staff of the hospital, availability of the facility, roads, infrastructure, transportation facility and so on. Let us try to make all the people healthy, young and energetic.
S12c1 chapter 1-facts and figures on transportation.Shivu P
All of us are leading a dependent life, we need to sell our products to different customers at different places, need to go to different places for the purpose of education, for conferences, for functions, to maintain our health, to establish relations (e.g. marriage) and so on, in this way transportation became the integral part of our life.
With the increase in population, with the development of science of transportation technology on land / water / air, many problems related to the various modes of transportation have started, causing injury to this earth through environmental degradation like lot of forest and agriculture lands are consumed in the name of crating the roads and railway tracks thus increasing the deforestation and desertification, traffic related issues, extracting the materials from the lithosphere (e.g. crude oil) and mixing it, in to the troposphere (the environment where the biosphere - living objects exists) and making environmental not suitable for the life through air pollution / land pollution / water pollution, thus making our eating food, breathing air, drinking water, the land on which we stay to become poisonous, and all these events will eventually leads to global warming. Let us imagine how these materials which are extracted from the lithosphere are recycled in the environment and they reach the bottom of the earth plates through air, then through the water, to the bottom of the sea, what chemical and thermal changes which occurs to these materials at each stage and at different levels, what pressure and chemical changes they induce when these chemicals passes in the new different routes at the bottom of the rock bed which supports the upper soil layer are all unknown (Petroleum product/hydrocarbon cycle in the environment).
In this chapter the various types of transportation system, how the number of gas emitting registered vehicles have increased in the last few decades, various types of pollution s (land /water /noise /light /air), accidents, injuries related to road traffic accidents, raising rates of different fuels, money spent on roads / railway tracks and few solutions at appropriate places called convenient road and railway track system of model village and model nation are mentioned.
We need to understand we extract the oil from the lithosphere, we convert the oil in to the gas by running the engines, gas accumulates in the environment, but ultimately it has to reach the lithosphere in its natural cycle. Imagine what chemical and thermal changes takes place in the oil in the lithosphere, oil and gas in the environment, oil / gas in the undersea / underground and until the final destiny in to the lithosphere - will it cause tsunami where there is large chemical / thermal changes under the sea / sea bed and will it cause earthquake when the same chemical and thermal changes happen underground needs to be explored.

Memory-making and the emergent archive posterLeisa Gibbons
For Community Informatics conference: CIRN Prato 2015.
There is a critical and growing need to understand and embrace the complex memory and archival needs of an expanding,
technologically savvy and actively participative society.
The need for memory-making and heritage is as diverse as the people and communities creating the stories. Memory-making plays a significant role in the identification of social and cultural standards, as well as values and factors that influence recordkeeping across multiple plural (and contested) memory
spaces including personal, community, collective and networked memories.
In my research I saw that YouTube was an enabler, facilitator and platform of personal curation, mediation and memory-making, hence providing a space for recordkeeping that supports the ongoing use of records through spacetime - an emergent archive
The Mediated Recordkeeping model (Figure 1) represents a framework to support the emergent archive to facilitate, enable and engage memory-making,rather than focus on selection, collection, and protection of cultural heritage within the bounds and custody of the institution.

Current metadata landscape in the library world Getaneh AlemuGetaneh Alemu
This workshop was presented at MTSR-2017 (Nov. 27, 2017) in Tallinn, Estonia http://www.mtsr-conf.org/index.php/programme The workshop aims to bring the current metadata landscape in libraries in context, with particular emphasis on emerging theory/principles and best practices covering:
• The theory of enriching and filtering
• Metadata enriching through RDA (Hands on - The RDA Toolkit and implementation of RDA at Southampton Solent University)
• Metadata filtering through FRBR (practical issues that cataloguers face in FRBRising their catalogue)
• Metadata management (metadata quality, authority control and subject headings)
• Metadata systems, tools and applications (practical issues of e-books and database cataloguing)
Paradata, Metadata and Data in 3D Cultural Heritage 2024-Marcondes.pdfCarlosMarcondes17
Patrimonialization is a process by which a material or immaterial element becomes a constitutive part of a community’s identity that imbues said element with meaning and significance. Heritage objects have a dual nature, they are primary objects (natural or man-made) in addition to secondary objects - artifacts –, descriptions of the primary ob-ject with the aim of adding a semantic function and enriching its role as documents and testimony of natural and social facts. As documents the characteristics assigned, added, or highlighted are dependent on the natural or social relevance of the specific object, a curator's choice. A conceptual model of the patrimonialization process through which an object became a heritage object is proposed. The model emphasizes the role of the Pat-rimonialization Justification, a paradata dossier in documenting the decisions, criteria, and justifications of a curator to assign to an object the status of a heritage object and in-corporate it in a collection of a heritage institution. The model reuses classes and proper-ties of other ontologies to contextualize the patrimonialization process and the docu-ments involved, including the references that support the curator’s decision of patrimo-nialize an object and include it in a heritage collection.

Generating Paths through Cultural Heritage Collections, Samuel Fernando, Paula Goodale, Paul Clough, Mark Stevenson, Mark Hall and Eneko Agirre. Paper presented at Latech 2013
Cultural heritage collections usually organise sets of items into exhibitions or guided tours. These items are often accompanied by text that describes the theme and topic of the exhibition and provides background context and details of connections with other items. The PATHS project brings the idea of guided tours to digital library collections where a tool to create virtual paths are used to assist with navigation and provide guides on particular subjects and topics. In this paper we characterise and analyse paths of items created by users of our online system.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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

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.

1. The Social OPAC: Past, Present and Future Carolyn Brown, Rebecca Chovnick and Sara Mangel Knowledge Organization – Spring 2009 The History of the Catalog A library catalog is a record of all the bibliographic items found in a library or a group of libraries. An item can be many different things: books, movies, CDs, computer files, maps, etc. Libraries started cataloging their holdings as far back as ancient times. Catalogs started as lists of manuscripts, typically in a loose leaf or book form. The card catalog most people are familiar with emerged in the 19 th century alongside the Dewey Decimal and Cutter Classification systems. “ Next Generation” OPACs “ Next Generation” OPACs offer a wide variety of new features geared toward the needs of the next generation user: “immediacy, interactivity, personalization, and mobility” (Rettig 2003). Based on analysis of seven current OPAC interfaces, the most popular features are: Relevancy Ranking, Enhancements (Visual Appeal and Content Enrichment), Faceted Results, Breadcrumb Trails, Persistent URLs (Permalinks), Syndication Feeds (RSS), Suggestions for Search Modifications, Recommendations, Tagging, Annotations, Rating, Reviewing, and Social Networking/Web 2.0 Tools. Figure 1. Traditional card catalog entry. Figure 2. Comparison of Current OPACs Figure 3. “Next Generation” Features in SCRIBLIO Figure 5. University of Virginia’s Blacklight Interface OPACs of the Future New models of Social OPACs are constantly being created. New features are being incorporated into these new models in the hopes of making searching more effective and easy for the catalog user. Two new models currently being tested are Blacklight and Extensible. It is important for Social OPACs to be intuitive and simple to use. It is also imperative that these OPACs provide instruction on how to use the navigation/interface. Two radical ideas about the future of library catalogs are that a) there is no library catalog, and b) there is a central catalog, either world-wide or regional. References Rettig, J. (2003) Technology, Cluelessness, Anthropology and the Memex: the future of academic reference service. Reference Services Review, 31 (1), 17-21. What Is an OPAC? The Online Public Access Catalog is an online database of materials held by a library or group of libraries. Early OPACs tended to closely reflect the card catalogs they were intended to replace. The interface was often confusing, search options were limited and results lacked relevancy ranking. Next Generation OPAC Options Libraries can take different approaches to make their OPACs more user-friendly: Enhancements (LibraryThing for Libraries), Wrappers (Scriblio) and Replacements (AquaBrowser).
