Pfau Long Architecture hosted a workshop at CAIS 2016 on learning commons. The workshop focused on how educators and designers are working toward a common goal of how to evolve a traditional study space for learning. The learning commons concept is becoming increasingly widespread for libraries at public and independent schools as well as colleges and universities. One of the drivers of adopting a learning commons approach is to mirror the real world by encouraging a more hands-on approach to research and problem solving.
Library is the heart of any educational institutions. Nowadays there are two basic form of library, one is traditional library and another is digital library. Traditional library is the library to collection the information in print form like books, journals etc. and digital library is the library to collection information with associated services, where the information is stored in digital format like text, video, audio etc. and accessible over a network. According to Bala and Sagar(2014, 369p.) “Library as an institution has played an important role in the progress of civilization. In the modern age the library users need accurate, current and pinpointed information, and there expectation also high”. Due to lack of time no body have time to visit a library and search catalogue cards. Most of the users prefer the digital resources because these can be used anytime and by everyone over the Internet.

Textbook affordability is there a role for the libraryNASIG
Try searching the library catalog, as many students do each semester, for the latest version of the textbook being used in a class at many universities and you will likely come up empty-handed. Many academic libraries – due to high prices, frequently-issued new editions, and a tendency to go missing from the collection – have justifiably chosen to play only a marginal role in the provision of textbooks on campus. However, the dynamics of the textbook market are changing rapidly and this presentation will explore the question: should libraries reconsider the roles they play in the provision of course materials on campus? This session will focus on the issue of affordability in the context of the rapid evolution and increased availability of e-textbooks (electronic versions of textbooks). Topics covered will include: --an overview of the e-textbook market. --purchasing options and outlets for e-textbooks. --new business models for institutional access to e-textbooks. --potential savings from e-textbook adoptions. --information on negotiating with publishers and platform providers. --why the library is well-positioned to play a prominent role in the provision of e-textbooks.

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.

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.
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
Making things easier: new design ideas for better library services
1. Making Things Easier: New
Design Ideas for Better Libraries
Presented at the Marina G. Dayrit
Lecture Series with the theme
“Library of the Future: Changes and
Challenges, at the National Book
Stores-Cubao’s Superbranch, on 22
February 2013.
2. Why Design Better Libraries?
• To make it a meaningful
place for the 21st
Century Customers
• Competition with the
Internet
• Competition with
Starbucks, McDonalds,
etc.
• Competition with the
times
3. The Information Environment
• Blended: Digital and print
• Online vs. onsite access
• 24x7 access vs. limited access
• Available in the Internet
– Credible sites
– Social Networking sites
– Direct access to peers
4. Why do Students go to Starbucks or
McDonalds to Study?
• They provide
– Access to the Internet via mobile devices—
Wifi
– Food, coffee
• They allow
– Individual study
– Group study
• Many are open 24/7
5. The Challenge to Libraries
• Making the customers come to the library to
use the physical space by meeting their library
visit meaningful.
• Retaining customers—Keeping them satisfied
6. What do Libraries have that are not
available in places where customers
hangout?
• Books—Print and e-books
• Journals-Print and e-journals
• Multimedia collection
• Online databases
• Facilities for quiet study
• Competent and customer oriented library staff
7. Libraries Must
• Examine those places where members of
the community hangout
• Plan to provide an environment that would
engage students to come to the library
instead of to those areas.
– Internet Access via LAN or Wi-fi
– A good collection—Print and e
– Individual and group study areas
– Customer oriented and competent library staff
– If possible, Food/coffee
8. New Paradigm for Library
Design
• “What is needed is acceptance of a new
basis of academic and research library
design that speaks to the needs of users,
is energy efficient, and assumes zero-
growth collection of physical collections.
Such a building will have a future on any
campus.” (Loder, 2010) .
9. Design Considerations
• Respect different styles of learning
• Provide facilities for access to digital
resources
• Provide rooms for librarians/teachers to
hold learning activities
• Make the library areas and facilities diverse,
flexible, convertible, multipurpose,
accessible, pleasant and inviting and
memorable.
10. Other Design Considerations
The accreditation standards
User size and seating capacity
Collection size and shelving capacity –
Think digital too
Librarians office—accessibility
Functional areas
Green technology principles—Energy
cost
11. The key to Design
• Make it easier for the customer to
– Create content
– Share content
– Collaborate--Share ideas, expertise
– Study
– Discuss
12. The key to design
• Making it easier for the library staff to
– Provide good efficient service
– Sustain operations through green technology
principles
13. Importance of Benchmarking
• Actually seeing how other libraries did it and
adapting best practices to one’s environment
• Become aware that in designing libraries,
there is no need to build a new facility but you
can work on existing space.
38. Role of the Library Staff
• Library staff play a key role in making the
library experience pleasant.
• Library staff should
be friendly and
approachable. Gestures
and tone of voice are
important
2/23/2013 Ateneo de Manila University 38
39. Library Staff today must
• Build a strong working relationship with
customers by treating them in the
manner that you want to be treated.
• Have good product knowledge.
• Have good professional Attitude.
• Be Adaptable and Flexible
• Be Relevant to the community.
•
