The document discusses Elizabeth Gadd's career transition from a librarian managing an academic services team in the library to a research policy manager in the university's research office. As a librarian, she developed specialisms in copyright and bibliometrics. Poor citation performance and research evaluation results prompted the creation of her new role focused on research visibility, bibliometrics, and publication strategy. In her new role, she engages in activities like monitoring citation data, developing policy, and providing training. The transition allowed her a different perspective and greater strategic thinking ability while still drawing on her experience as a librarian and researcher.

Sara Ewing Goldsmiths, University of LondonThe speaker hosts workshops that situate Western academic research in historical, political and social conditions that are tied to colonial practices of difference and hierarchy. They are centred on participants’ ideas, assumptions, experiences and values in relation to different themes, in conjunction with short non-traditional texts, to provoke meaningful and unexpected discussions. These workshops align with the Goldsmiths goal to ‘Liberate Our Degree’ by addressing the inequalities embedded in pedagogy and curricula. Current collaborations include library staff working with procurement, reading lists and library practices, lecturers in various departments seeking to diversify their curriculum design, and students invested in decolonizing their own programmes.

Although a resource list culture has been successfully established amongst academic staff and students, such an approach has also resulted in reduced opportunities for collection development outside those resource lists. In this session, we look at how cross-departmental collaboration has been able to identify content for postgraduate students and researchers, as well as supporting the University community’s wider needs by developing non-academic collections in health & wellbeing, citizenship and student support

Faculty of Humanities, University of Manchester postgraduate research open day 2017
In 2014, librarians at Washington University in St. Louis developed an annual research conference for advanced graduate students in the Humanities. This conference was inspired by the desire to connect to graduate students at the dissertation stage as librarians had observed a gap in librarian-graduate student interactions between the first years of graduate school and when students embark on their own dissertation research. Librarians discovered that graduate students often struggle in isolation with similar research questions as well as project management and dissertation writing; thus, we aptly entitled the conference “You’re in Good Company: A Mini-Conference for Advanced Graduate Students in the Humanities.” We will share the make-up of the conference, gathering input on session offerings, funding considerations, marketing, assessment, and administrative needs.
Our presentation will focus in part on the variety of sessions we have been able to offer and our collaborations with faculty and other campus partners. Sessions included not only advanced research skills but also hands-on workshops for technologies such as Zotero, Scrivener, and mobile apps. Faculty presented sessions about dissertation writing, time management strategies, tips for getting published and funded, as well as their own personal experiences.
The conference demonstrated the value of the library to the university community as You’re in Good Company will be in its third year and appears to be filling a void to further research skills, discovery of Humanities resources, and awareness of new technologies. We will also share our developing body of conference video and audio recordings. Finally, we will present recommendations to assist other librarians interested in developing a similar conference.

"Open Access at the Coal Face: attitudes and practical responses" Yvonne Budd...ARLGSW
Open Access is, arguably, one of the most disruptive changes to the scholarly communications environment since the invention of the internet. Staff in academic and research libraries have been facilitating this change and educating researchers about it since the first institutional repository was launched in 2000. But the pace of change has accelerated exponentially with the strengthening of the RCUK and Wellcome Trust mandates and the introduction of the HEFCE mandate among other funder moves in this area.
This talk will focus on the practical responses taken by the University of Warwick to cope with this change in all areas across the institution and the demands that this has placed on Library staff. It will focus on the Library perspective but also cover work done by the Research Office as well as the Graduate School and Student, Careers and Skills as part of a cross-institutional response. It will examine the practical challenges that we have faced in dealing with the new policies and some of the developments we have made to our institutional repository, WRAP (http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk) to support researchers wanting the advantages of open access. Additionally it will cover new areas of activity that have been undertaken by Library staff and offer a few of our ‘lessons learnt’ as well as a few future plans.
Finally the talk will discuss some of the early results from an institution wide survey of our researchers on their understanding of open access and attitudes to the process. This survey is an expansion of a survey that we ran in 2011 and the results will show whether or not the rapid changes and stronger funder mandates are really helping to win the hearts and minds of our researchers.

"From Reading Rooms to Research Commons" Sheila Corrall, DARTS4ARLGSW
The research environment is challenging libraries to raise their game by providing higher-end services in response to technological change and policy developments. Librarians are being urged to move from service-as-support to a partnership model involving “deep collaboration” across the whole knowledge lifecycle. But libraries are no longer the “go-to” place for researchers. Perceived as dispensers of goods, more geared to students and education, they struggle to gain take-up for research offerings. Innovative practitioners are using various strategies to reposition themselves as key players in the research arena, notably space-as-service strategies, which can bring researchers back to the physical library and improve visibility of virtual services.
"Stuff and data: challenges for research data management in the visual arts" ...ARLGSW
During the workshop we will explore the work of the Jisc funded KAPTUR and AHRC funded VADS4R projects over the last three years. This has focused on seeking to enhance research data management practice within in the visual arts. In particular we will focus on the specific disciplinary challenges, how these have been addressed, and reflect upon the lessons learned and work still needed to be undertaken. The workshop will be interactive, enabling participants to investigate the nature of research data and the curatorial challenges it presents in the visual arts.
"Research data management: where are we now?" Jenni Crossley, DARTS4ARLGSW
In January 2013, the research librarians at UWE hosted a workshop focussing on the skills that librarians need to develop in order to support researchers in research data management. As part of this day, participants undertook a brief maturity modelling exercise which looked at their library services state of readiness to support RDM, and where they would like to be in 3 years’ time. This talk looks at progress made to date by those services, and includes an opportunity for the audience to undertake an as-is exercise. There will also be a brief overview of UWE’s own progress in implementing RDM support.
"Open Access: recalibrating the relationships" Neil Jacobs, DARTS4ARLGSW
Neil will focus on the lessons from the Jisc-APC pilot, and how the workflows around all forms of OA are changing the roles and responsibilities of information professionals within and beyond the HEI. There are new drivers (eg the HEFCE REF OA policy), new points of contact / transaction (eg Gold OA payments of various kinds), and new opportunities (eg to populate repositories). The talk will explore the workflows that are emerging as effective in addressing these changes, and their implications for all concerned.
"Designing practitioner research for impact" Miggie Pickton, DARTS4ARLGSW
Miggie will highlight the growing importance of impact in research generally including impact case studies in the REF, funders’ demands for impact statements in research proposals, and employers requiring impact on service. This section will make a link between librarians supporting researchers and doing (and using) research themselves. This will lead on to looking at opportunities for making an impact in practitioner research.

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.

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.
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.
