New horizons mission
The New Horizons Mission launched in 2006 and flew by Pluto in 2015, capturing the first close-up images of the dwarf planet. It is currently traveling to make a flyby of Kuiper belt object 2014 MU69 on January 1, 2019. The spacecraft has already transmitted about half of the large volume of data it collected during the Pluto flyby, which took a flyby of Jupiter earlier for a gravity assist. Its instruments include the Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter built by university students to measure dust. Upcoming objectives for the 2014 MU69 flyby include mapping and analyzing its surface composition and searching for signs of geological or atmospheric activity.
Cassini missions
The Cassini mission has provided numerous insights into Saturn and its moons over its 15+ year exploration of the Saturn system. Key findings include that Titan has lakes of methane and a subsurface ocean, Enceladus likely hosts conditions suitable for microbial life beneath its surface, and Saturn itself experiences massive seasonal storms. The extended Cassini Solstice mission through 2017 will allow scientists to study an entire seasonal cycle on Saturn and conduct close flybys of moons like Titan and Enceladus to learn more about their potential for habitability.
Overview of altmetrics
This document provides an overview of altmetrics, which are alternative metrics to traditional citations for measuring the impact of scholarly works. It discusses what altmetrics are, who the major players are in the altmetrics field, when altmetrics data is available, where altmetrics are relevant, why altmetrics are gaining importance, and how altmetrics data is collected and used. The document aims to give the reader a comprehensive introduction to the concept of altmetrics for evaluating scholarly impact and engagement.
Altmetrics at Altitude: Attaining Higher Ground
This document summarizes a presentation about altmetrics given by Joseph Kraus at the University of Denver.

It concludes by offering Kraus' contact information for any additional questions.
Walking the walk for ER&L 2014
The document discusses two open access journals in library and information science - Collaborative Librarianship and The Journal of Creative Library Practice. For Collaborative Librarianship, it describes how the journal was started, the editor's role, financial details including donations and expenses, usage data, and marketing efforts. For The Journal of Creative Library Practice, it discusses the history, why an open license was chosen, the publishing platform, other similar journals, financial costs, and usage analytics. Marketing strategies for the journals are also outlined.
Open Access Article Quality: Error Rates in References as an Indicator
This document summarizes a study that compared reference error rates in open access articles versus traditionally published articles. The study looked at 4 articles from the open access journal PLOS ONE and 4 articles from the commercial journal Stem Cell Research. It found that the reference error rates were similar, with PLOS ONE articles having a slightly lower error rate of 3.4% compared to 5.9% for Stem Cell Research articles. This suggests that authors publishing in open access journals are just as careful about formatting references as authors in traditionally published journals. The document discusses limitations and possibilities for expanding the study to include more journals and articles.
Scholarly communication: Not just for scholars anymore
This document discusses scholarly communication and open access. It notes that while various organizations push for more open access to research, there are still misunderstandings about open access among scientists, researchers, publishers and librarians. Specifically, some misunderstand behaviors include thinking open access is not needed or that the general public would not understand research articles. The document also discusses how the culture among scientists values traditional peer-reviewed journals and gatekeepers, and is slow to change. It suggests librarians can help address these issues by continuing to observe scientist behaviors and demonstrating the benefits of open access, such as increased citations.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
