Becky Cole - Faculty Engagement and the Functionally Structured Academic LibraryBecky Cole
In 2013, Northumbria University Library underwent a comprehensive restructure: moving away from liaison and subject specific librarian responsibilities and embracing a functional or task-focussed structure with areas of service provision including Collections, Skills, Scholarly Publications, Customer Experience, Discovery & Access and Content Delivery & Copyright. The rationale behind this move was that having dedicated teams focussing on specific areas of service provision would be more productive and efficient than having specific individuals juggling many different specialities.
The innovative nature of this approach, which has seen student satisfaction increase year on year, has also brought challenges. Some colleagues remain unsure of whom to approach and enquiries are sometimes misdirected or laterally transferred rather than resolved at first contact. In order to address this, the Learning Partnerships team have been implementing a programme of change management for academic colleagues, designed to improve Faculty-Library communications and ensure that staff access the required information and support at the point of need.

CALMing the Cost of Textbooks: How to Create Affordable Learning Materials on...Carmen Mitchell
Presented at the 2015 Electronic Resources and Libraries Conference in Austin, Texas.
Co-presenter: Barbara Taylor, Lead Instructional Developer, Academic Technology Services.
Abstract: As the cost of a college education continues to rise, students are piling on debt and recent graduates are struggling under the weight of loans. The Cougars Affordable Learning Materials Project (CALM) aims to aid faculty in replacing costly textbooks by using high-quality open educational resources (OER), library resources, digital or customized textbooks, and/or faculty-authored materials. Presenters will lead participants in a session on how to identify OER and how they can create their own sessions.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
