Breathing new life into old data - How opening your collection can spark imag...Trish Rose-Sandler
This presentation was given by Doug Holland and Trish Rose-Sandler at the Missouri Libraries Association conference held in St Louis MO in Oct 2013. There is a significant online literature and image repository called the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). Content from this repository has inspired a range of users to re-contextualize the BHL data in new, previously unimagined roles including: scientists creating visualizations of species names publishing; citizen scientists blogging about fascinating creatures; designers incorporating marine life into wedding invitations, artists creating collages of animal illustrations and nature photography ; and home decorators adding punch and wit to the walls of their kids bedrooms. Using the example of BHL and its open data principles, the presentation will discuss what open data is and how libraries can expand the impact and reach of their collections through open data methods.

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.
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.

2. Can libraries continue to meet the demands of being a growing organism given the limited amount of physical space available and necessary? Two types of libraries will be discussed: The Library of Congress and school libraries.
4. The fifth law of library science states that a library is a growing organism. “It is an accepted biological fact that a growing organism alone will survive.” (Ranganathan).
6. “The library organization should not short sightedly allow itself to be unduly influenced by its present size, but should plan its layout in such a way to keep pace with necessary growth.” (Ranganathan). Since libraries by definition must grow, what are the key components of growth? Books, readers, and staff are the three components of growth that make up the ‘Trinity’ of libraries. Libraries must support their growth. One example of a growing library is the Library of Congress (LOC). The Library of Congress has the responsibility to archive all important artifacts and make these archives available to researchers. Because the LOC has the responsibility to store all artifacts, the LOC must increase its physical space. This must be done by adding physical buildings. The school library on the other hand does not have the funding to continually increase its space; therefore, it must search for other options. This research proposal will outline what methods these two different types of libraries use to meet their growth demands and what conclusions can be drawn about their implications.
8. The Library of Congress is currently nearing capacity on Capitol Hill. How can a library continue to grow when space limitations impede the ability of the library to effectively collect, catalog, and store new artifacts? Currently the Library of Congress is having a challenging time archiving all the artifacts they collect each year. Historically all artifacts have been stored on Capitol Hill. Due to space limitations this is no longer an option. In 1994 Congress authorized the purchase of 100 acres at Fort Mead, Maryland to meet the archiving needs of the Library of Congress. Currently, four modules (buildings) have been completed and nine more have been requested and are pending funding. Although each module allows for 125,000 cubic feet of materials to be stored the curator indicated that the new space will only keep the Library of Congress on track for archiving new materials. Some Senators and Congressmen ask, “Can’t we digitize articles and put them in a research database and subsequently save space?” Digitizing artifacts is an important step but digitizing the article and disposing of the original artifact is not a solution. The original artifact is necessary for researchers.
10. The School Library will not be able to grow in the same way as the Library of Congress. Its physical space is finite and will not grow unless the school library closes and a new location provides a larger amount of space. What can be done to meet the needs for growth? Several ideas are available for implementation:
11. weeding -out with the old and in with the new which will allow more shelf space for incoming collections
12. emerging technology- if possible use emerging technology such as digitizing to keep important information available on file but free up space
13. virtual libraries-place selected readings to be accessible via the internet, this will free up space and give greater access to users when the library is closed
14. collaboration with other libraries-sharing collections with other libraries is an efficient way to save space (as an example infrequently used artifacts can be shared resulting in the availability of more space
15. The Library of Congress and School libraries must continue to grow. Each library has a different responsibility and therefore must be managed differently. The LOC must continue to build new space to archive all artifacts and secure our national treasures. School libraries should attempt to weed, digitize, collaborate, and make collections available via internet. By remembering the library’s responsibilities the librarian can formulate a plan to maximize space and provide room for necessary growth.
27. What was this study about? Can libraries continue to meet the demands of being a growing organism given the limited amount of physical space available and necessary
28. Who? Libraries (Specifically the LOC and School libraries)
31. Where? LOC in Washington, D. C. and school libraries around the U. S.
32. Why? To meet the requirements of a growing organism
33. So what? According to Ranganathan, libraries by definition will grow. If growth is not managed correctly, then their growth will be counterproductive. (i.e.; not enough space to shelf books, no place to store artifacts, older elements of the collection will be inaccessible, etc.)
