Library Futures & the Importance of Understanding Communities of UsersChristine Madsen
In 2010 I finished a two year ethnographic study of that aimed at understanding how the digitization of rare texts is changing scholars’ work and in turn how it is changing their relationship with the library. I will present some highlights from the findings of that research and discuss more recent research to understand the future of libraries by understanding communities of users. In other words, what can we learn from Tibetan Buddhists, the Parakuyo Maasai, and the CTOs of our top technology companies about how to build the library of the future?

Public libraries in The Netherlands: a powerful networkFers
In this presentation I will briefly present the structure of the public library network in the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on the way public library innovation is “organised”. There is currently a community of practice (CoP) organised for every specific area of library innovation which at the same time also addresses officially established national priorities, i.e. lifelong learning, development of traditional library services, education of the young population, etc. Librarians in each of the CoPs share experiences specific to their field based on which they identify future activities aimed at the development of the particular field. Librarians included in this CoP system come from libraries of all types and sizes regardless of the province or region.
Keywords: innovation, collaboration, Communities of Practice, network

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

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.

2. Cherni Osam Village
“Huddling in the Balkan and hidden from the eyes,
blossoming pretty, there’s a place of freedom and thrive.
Its people are good mountaineers
living with tireless labor, sadness and cheers...”
3. C h i ta l i s hte A c t i v i t i e s
in Cherni Osam
Established in 1906 when a group of public figures created a
written statement on the establishment of an independent
chitalishte which would
“Create conditions for the intellectual and moral development
of villagers”
The chitalishte maintains a comparatively big number of
members and participates actively in public development.
Every year it takes part in various projects and thus it fills
material and inventory gaps.
Last but not least, our Board of Trustees has undertaken the
ambitious task of
...preserving the healthy Balkan spirit of our village...
4. C H I TA L I S H T E A C T I V I T I E S I N C H E R N I O S A M
The chitalishte library was established in 1906, right after Znanie Chitalishte
was founded. Books were purchased and placed in the library bookcase
especially designed for the purpose. Today, the library is hosted by the new
chitalishte building in a premise of 52 sq.m.
Through the years, Znanie 1906 Public Chitalishte has never kept away from
new technology. In 2004, the library got its first computer. It has had internet
access since 2006. In 2008, the library purchased AB software and launched
electronic cataloguing of its stock, processing of all newly acquired books and
retroconversion of the entire library stock. In 2007 – 2008, the library renewed
its stock through projects implemented under the program “Bulgarian
Libraries: Places for Reading and Information” of the Ministry of Culture
which improved service provision to patrons and attracted new library users.
5. C H I TA L I S H T E A C T I V I T I E S I N C H E R N I O S A M
In 2008, the Glob@l Libraries – Bulgaria Program was launched. We were
among the libraries approved at the first stage and thus the library already has
three computer configurations, a multimedia projector, a screen and a
multifunctional device. A laptop was purchased under a project. A new LAN
network was developed. Today, our library is an information and internet
center.
Following the renovation and expanded library and information
opportunities, the number of library visits has grown significantly. In addition
to all the equipment, an additional librarian staff position was also provided
under the program.
6. V O L U N T E E R I N I T I AT I V E S
In addition to traditional book lending, the library develops numerous volunteer
activities. The most significant examples over the recent years include:
Meeting with the writer Donka Petrunova and the poetesses Tsvetana Kacherilska
and Lina Bordzhieva
With the help of volunteers in 2009 the library organized and conducted a national
poetry contest and in 2010 – 2011, the festival of amateur mountain movies “Under
Ambaritsa Skies”.
The library hosts study trips organized jointly with Vasil Levski Secondary
School, individual sessions with library visitors, and has processed hundreds of
library bibliographic requests.
