This document summarizes several emerging technologies being used in academic libraries in 2015. It describes projects using 3D imaging of historical manuscripts, interactive maps created with conductive ink, musical instruments that tell their own life story through recorded audio, and interactive life history books for elderly residents created with a tangible memories app. It also mentions projects using physical charts to display real-time data, marginalia machines to analyze archival materials, and 3D wearable library cards.

Koningin Julianaplein. It’s the first thing you see when arriving to The Hague and we think it needs some hacking. That’s why we’ve developed an innovative pop-up container concept: Jullie on the Plein ft. local art, design, music and food. Let’s transform this square from an urban blight into the inviting, flourishing public space that The Hague deserves.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

15. The reinvention of the codex, paper and ink by modern artists is a reminder that books are artefacts.
Each one is a iunique object, like a museum object. The way in which different owners treated the
illustrations in the Voyage to Jamaica by Sir Hans Sloane tells us a lot about eighteenth-century attitudes
to Empire.
But to reconstruct this, we need to examine each copy of the book.

18. Tangible Memories project: http://tangible-memories.com
• An app that enables residents to work with families and care staff to create their own
interactive life history books or group history books. Stories are recorded into the book and
played back by simply scanning pages of the book.
• An interactive rocking chair that enables residents to listen to audio including sounds of
nature, poems and favourite music.
• A tactile patchwork cushion which can be programmed to play favourite music or audio
stories – personalized for individual residents, using printed images and visual recognition
software.
• A ‘pick up to play’ music app, that makes listening to a memory filled music playlist as
simple as picking up the phone.
• The use of Virtual Reality headsets that can transport residents to local landmarks and places
they are no longer able to visit.
19. Physical Charts, a project by Microsoft Research Cambridge for the Tenison Road
community project that set out to encourage civic engagement with locally generated
data, such as surveys on traffic and air quality. The result is a mechanical pie chart

from motorised measuring tapes, both of which animate to display real-time data.
They are now on display in a shop window in Cambridge.
