El presente trabajo nace de la práctica profesional, en la cual el autor se a percatado que el proceso de migración de sistemas de automatización no se lleva a cabo de una manera estandarizada, en parte por desconocimiento de parte del personal bibliotecario de cuales son las fases de este proceso y, por otra parte, las empresas o personas que realizan estás actividades las llevan a cabo con los conocimientos que se van adquiriendo en el proceso. Debido a lo anterior muchas migraciones presentan inconsistencias, pérdida de información, ubicación errónea y otras situaciones que se derivan de la mala praxis.
El objetivo de la ponencia es dar a conocer las fases generales que se deben considerar en un proyecto de migración de sistemas de automatización de bibliotecas y una descripción general de las mismas, ya que cada proyecto presenta características que lo hacen diferente, a este respecto es importante mencionar que dos bibliotecas que utilizan el mismo sistema de automatización en la misma versión lo pueden configurar o utilizar de manera diferente, y es por ello que en cada caso se debe realizar el proceso desde el inicio.

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.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

A tool to measure the quality or performance
of SRC
What is iQ-PSS?
(http://btp.tarantula.my)
10. iQ-PSS as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
KPIs as quantifiable metrics that reflect the performance of an
organization in achieving its goals and objectives.
Characteristics
• KPIs reflect strategic value drivers to achieve organizational
goals
• KPIs are quantifiable based on valid data and standards
• KPIs lead to positive actions and key to organizational
success
11. iQ-PSS Features
• The system is built based on the open-source technology
• It can cater unlimited users
• The system can be accessed simultaneously
• The system is based on web-technology
• The system has high level of security features
• Data entry processing is done by TLs online instead of filling
out the instrument manually.
• STEDs and TACs officers can monitor the data entered by
TLs and update the data if there is a need. They can also
give suggestions and comments on SRCs under their
administration
12. iQ-PSS Features (cont…)
• STEDs and TACs officers can observe the data of all schools
under their administration
• At the headquarters, ETD can use the information from iQ-
PSS to decide on SRCs strategic planning and future
directions
• iQ-PSS can be used to transform data into information
useful for decision making. It can provide performance
reports to assist in the planning, monitoring and
implementation of strategy.
• iQ-PSS provides a valuable time saving benefit to the
workforce of ETD and its network. Where in the past
information on SRCs had to be manually processed for filing
and analysis, it can now be entered quickly and easily
online, allowing for faster decision making and quicker
reflexes for the ETD as a whole.
13. Scope of iQ-PSS
iQ-PSS involves the following entities:
• All schools in Malaysia
• 367 Teacher Activity Centers
• 15 State Educational Technology Divisions
• Educational Resources Management Sector
• Educational Technology Division

28. Recommendations
• TLs should be honest in giving the information on their respective SRCs.
• School administrators should support their respective TLs as these teachers
are the main players for the enculturation of ICT through the Smart School
concept and, the inculcation of reading habits and life-long learning.
• At the district level, TAC officers should monitor and assist the progress of
iQ-PSS implementation.
• At the state level, STED officers should coordinate the implementation of iQ-
PSS with the TAC officers. They should monitor and evaluate the
performance of SRCs and give appropriate supports in the programs and
activities.
• ETD as the headquarters should ensure that the information highway runs
smoothly by providing access to the Internet to all schools 24x7and lay a
strong foundation in ICT infrastructure. The information from iQ-PSS should
be reported to the top-level officers and used to propose preventive and
corrective actions to ensure continuous improvement of SRCs
29. Conclusion
iQ-PSS, first introduced in July 2009,
is a tool to monitor and coordinate
the development of the School
Resource Centers throughout
Malaysia. Using ICT as an enabler
and open-source technology as cost-
optimizer, iQ-PSS has successfully
achieved a new terrain in supporting
effective delivery of public services,
mainly in education.
With this systematic monitoring, it is hoped that any decision relating to the
development of SRCs can be made accurately and meet the needs of users.
30. Conclusion (cont…)
Even though there are several hiccups in the implementation of all
initiatives such as ICT knowledge and readiness among TLs, commitment
of administrators of all levels and financial factors, the embodiment of the
spirit to change is there.
It just needs a spark to ignite the fire of transformation as Malaysia is fast
approaching 2020. Smart School concept, world-class education system
and Vision 2020 can be achieved not by being rhetoric but they need
shared vision, flexible organization of implementers at ground level, well-
defined deliverables, performance-based management, continuous
improvement and customer satisfaction which act as puzzle pieces of
quality management standards.
31. Moving Forward
iQ-PSS has opened up new horizon in embracing the School Resource
Centers of the future. By applying the same concept as iQ-PSS, SRCs can
be linked together all over the country, and their educational resources can
be explored, accessed and shared among teachers and students, anytime
anywhere, ubiquitously.
At the moment, the ETD is implementing new initiatives based on the same
framework:
i-NILAM, an online student-reading activity databases
ps-Sentral, an online library automation
online educational resources portal
online newspaper archive (education articles)
online Dewey classification system both in Malay and English languages
