In the age of networked information, we've seen major changes to the
expectation of how bibliographic data is searched and serves research.
Summon is a web-scale discovery service that indexes and provides
relevancy ranking across 1 Billion items from thousands of collections and
makes them accessible to researches from a single search box in 450
institutions in over 40 countries. JSTOR is a not-for-profit provider of high
quality scholarly content spanning more than 300 years and covering nearly
60 disciplines. JSTOR provides on-line access to nearly 1,600 journals for
more than 7,500 institutions in 166 countries. This presentation will discuss
similarities in the mission and differences in the scope of these two services,
including how they work together. We'll delve into the inner workings of each
including treatment of data, analysis of search, and challenges each service

Discovering Common Motifs in Cursor Movement DataYandex
Mouse cursor movements can provide valuable information on how users interact and engage with web documents. This interaction data is far richer than traditional click data, and can be used to improve evaluation and presentation of web information systems. Unfortunately, the diversity and complexity inherent in this interaction data make it more difficult to capture salient behavior characteristics through traditional feature engineering. To address this problem, we introduce a novel approach of automatically discovering frequent subsequences, or motifs, in mouse cursor movement data. In order to scale our approach to realistic datasets, we introduce novel optimizations for motif discovery, specifically designed for mining cursor movement data. We show that by encoding the motifs discovered from thousands of real web search sessions as features, enables significant improvements in important web search tasks. These results, complemented with visualization and qualitative analysis, demonstrate that our approach is able to automatically capture key characteristics of mouse cursor movement behavior, providing a valuable new tool for online user behavior analysis. In addition to the application of motifs to web mining, we demonstrate that similar technique can be successfully applied in medical domain for the task of predicting future decline of memory function and subsequent development of the Alzheimer Disease.

Paper Title: Designing for Citizen Data Analysis: A Cross-Sectional Case Study of a Multi-Domain Citizen Science Platform
Abstract:
Designing an effective and sustainable citizen science (CS) project requires consideration of a great number of factors. This makes the overall process unpredictable, even when a sound, user-centred design approach is followed by an experienced team of UX designers. Moreover, when such systems are deployed, the complexity of the resulting interactions challenges any attempt to generalisation from retrospective analysis. In this paper, we present a case study of the largest single platform of citizen driven data analysis projects to date, the Zooniverse. By eliciting, through structured reflection, experiences of core members of its design team, our grounded analysis yielded four sets of themes, focusing on Task Specificity, Community Development, Task Design and Public Relations and Engagement. For each, we propose a set of design claims (DCs), drawing comparisons to the literature on crowdsourcing and online communities to contextualise our findings.

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.

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.

4. Method: “Any
procedure employed to
attain a certain end”
(e.g., focus groups)

6. “The LIS field is maturing in
terms of research method
selection and application in
that a greater number and
wider variety of research
methods are used in all the
research publications this
study examines…Scholars are
no longer limited to the
research methods
traditionally applied in LIS
explorations…" (Chu, 2015, 40)

27. Qualitative Research Definition
A type of scientific research that:
• Seeks answers to a question
• Systematically uses predefined set of
procedures to answer question
• Collects evidence
• Produces findings that:
• Are not determined in advance
• Apply beyond immediate boundaries of
study
Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/katesheets/5772901616/ by katesheets / CC BY-NC 2.0
28. What is Qualitative Research?
“…a situated activity that locates the observer in the world. It consists of a
set of interpretive, material practices that make the world visible. These
practices transform the world. They turn the world into a series of
representations, including field notes, interviews, conversations,
photographs, recordings, & memos to the self.
At this level, qualitative research involves an interpretive, naturalistic
approach to the world. This means that qualitative researchers study
things in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of, or to
interpret, phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them.”

a 'Visitor' or as a 'Resident') and the typical context in which you
use them ('Personal' or 'Institutional’).
PROCEDURE
1. Read the task aloud
2. Using the app, complete the task while thinking aloud
3. Indicate when they felt they had completed the task

Excerpt
68. “A major strategy for analysis of
qualitative data is the use of the
constant comparative method, which
embraces ‘constant comparisons’
defined as ‘the analytic process of
comparing different pieces of data
against each other for similarities
and differences.’”

72. “The creative process is not like a situation
where you get struck by a single lightning
bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and
there are ongoing creative revelations. Yes,
it's really helpful to be marching toward a
specific destination, but, along the way, you
must allow yourself room for your ideas to
blossom, take root, and grow.”
–Carlton Cuse
