Information Literacy and E-Resources: Moving Beyond the ChalkboardLibraries Thriving
Ask any twenty-first century librarian and they will tell you that the traditional chalkboard is not the instructional tool of choice anymore. This panel discussion will address the place of free and subscription e-resources in information literacy instruction and will feature librarians from South University and representatives from Credo Reference, the database that was voted Library Journal’s “Best Overall” in 2012. This will be a collaboration-focused session so bring your ideas to share!
Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) is emerging as a new library collection development model and challenging existing business and service models for vendors and publishers. PDA is moving beyond individual projects and becoming yet another model to build and maintain library collections. What guidelines and standards will be required to support PDA?
Speakers in this webinar will:
Present an overview of the introduction and evolution of PDA.
Describe the kinds of PDA -- both print and electronic -- that have developed (e.g., ILL requests and loading records into an OPAC based on library-defined parameters, including approval plans), and whether best practices are in place yet.
Describe the mechanics of workflow (vendor systems, ILS and ILL systems, publisher data), and discuss whether existing standards support PDA, or if there are standards that need to be developed.
Discuss the long-term effects on budgets (which can be spent very quickly), collection development (will the print or electronic book collection remain relevant?), interlibrary loan (will ILL borrowing decrease significantly if items are purchased rather than borrowed?), and publishing models.

Follow the METADATA Breadcrumbs: For titles you are considering for purchase...what does the metadata look like in WorldCat? Search your local catalog for that metadata, and see if it has every circulated. Can that metadata predict whether your new selections will circulate?
What value do your products or services deliver? The ability
to understand and clearly articulate Value Propositions (VPs)
is important to libraries, publishers and intermediaries. Don’t
mistake VPs for some catchy strap line or slogan. Value is
not just about the monetary value either. Think instead of a
compelling answer to: “Why should I use your services or
buy your product?”. Using examples from his work with a
variety of organisations, Ken will show how you can create
meaningful VPs.

communication including questions about future
requirements, the language we are using in this space and,
beyond skills, what type of people are suited to different
aspects of librarianship. Scholarly communication requires
people who are able to be flexible in their approach, rather

Buildings and spaces: Are they relevant in the virtual environment?IFLA
This presentation covers library buildings, spaces and users in the current environment. It highlights how Singapore libraries have evolved and their approaches to library spaces. A case study of Singapore Management University Libraries is presented. Other libraries covered are National Library Board (Early Literacy Library), National University of Singapore (Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library), Nanyang Technological University, Temasek Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic.
This presentation is part of the Executive Library Management Programme (ELMP) course by the Library Association of Singapore in August 2014.
About the Webinar
In the six years from 2006 to 2012, the number of self-published books grew an astounding 270% to more than 235,000, almost as many as were published "traditionally." The easy access to publication tools and distribution mechanisms has ushered in a new era of how content is created and disseminated. No longer do authors need to work through a publisher to have their content accepted, processed, and distributed. The impacts of this revolution in publishing extend well beyond what used to be called "vanity publishing." A variety of best-selling books in recent years have come out from successful self-publishers sharing their tips on how others can follow in their footsteps.
How can publishers capitalize on this author independence? How do libraries incorporate self-published works into their acquisition processes? When there is no publisher reputation behind a title, how does a library or user separate the wheat from the chaff? This webinar will explore these issues and the impacts of the self-publishing movement on both publishers and libraries.

Abstract:
Users are increasingly self-reliant in their information seeking behavior. Where is the place for the personal interaction with librarians in this new paradigm? Join an active conversation to explore (a) What the DIY user behaviors are, (b) how libraries can respond to them in terms of new services, fiscal and personnel resources, and technologies, and (c) how to leverage technology to create online or face-to-face mediation opportunities that would be welcomed by users.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

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.

1. Whither ILL? Wither ILL: The Changing
Nature of Resource Sharing in an Age
of Electronic Content
Northwest Interlibrary Loan and Resource
Sharing Conference
Portland, Oregon
September 13, 2013
Michael Levine-Clark, University of Denver
Lenny Allen, Oxford University Press
2. ILL is a vitally important library service!
YES!
We must have the right to loan our ebooks to
another library!
NO!
3. End vs. Means
• Goal should be to get our users access to the
broadest possible collection, as fast as
possible, to respond to curricular and research
needs
• ILL solves that goal for tangible items
• There are better options for digital resources
4. Collection Building in the Print World
• You snooze, you lose
– Books go out of print, so
crucial to buy at point of
publication
• Approval plans
• Speculative purchasing
– High publishing output
– Low budgets
– Low use
http://www.flickr.com/photos/alancleaver/4293345629/
7. ILL in the Print World
• Solves multiple problems
– Can’t buy everything
– Books go out of print
– We don’t know what our users will need
– Often the book my user needs is sitting unused on
another library’s shelves
– ILL is convenient, fast, reliable
– ILL is often the only way to get a book
http://www.flickr.com/photos/emdot/502476008/
8. Process from the User’s Perspective
1. Identify the book
2. Search the catalog (not available)
3. Request via ILL
4. Wait a while (hopefully not too long)
5. Receive a notification that it’s arrived
6. Go to the library to check the book out
7. (Perhaps) renew the book
8. Go to the library to return the book
9. Process for the Borrowing library
1. Receive request
2. Verify in local catalog
3. Search, request
4. Wait
5. Receive the book from another library
6. Notify student
7. Wait
8. Return book to the lending library
10. Process for the Lending Library
1. Receive the request
2. Check for location, availability
3. Pull the book, check it out
4. Pack the book and mail it
5. Wait
6. Receive the book (hopefully)
7. Unpack, check back in
8. Return the book to the shelf
11. Problems with the Current Model
• From the student’s perspective
– Need to wait
– (may not be intuitive)
• From the libraries’ perspective
– Expensive
• Staff time
• Mailing costs
• ILL fees
• From the lending library’s perspective
– Book is now unavailable for local users
12. Still the Best Model for Print
• Relatively fast
• Relatively reliable
• Relatively efficient
• Relatively cheap
• Solves those problems
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bowena/2632507358/
13. ILL For E-Resources?
1. Identify the e-book
2. Search the catalog (not
available)
3. Request via ILL
4. Wait a while (hopefully
not too long)
5. Receive a link (or PDF)
6. Perhaps link expires
http://www.flickr.com/photos/teddo/120756115/
14. ILL for E-Resources (Library Process)
Borrowing Library
1. Receive request from
student
2. Verify in local catalog
3. Search, request
4. Wait
5. Receive a link or PDF from
another library
6. Notify student
Lending Library
1. Receive request from
borrowing library
2. Check rights for ILL
3. Send a PDF or link, perhaps
also turning off access
locally
15. What’s Wrong with that Picture?
• Student has to wait
• Work for ILL staff in two
libraries
• Students at lending
library may lose access
• All of that makes sense
for tangible items, but
not for e-resources
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kareneliot/2
710464400/
16. The Ideal
• Immediate access
– Student has what they
need while the project is
still fresh
• Low cost (or at least
lower cost)
• Unmediated (or at least
minimally mediated)
• On the platform that

17. Toward a Model
• Short-term loan
• Via e-book aggregator(s)
• Via publisher platform(s)
• Via a third party (OCLC)
• Via library discovery tools
Low cost, brief access
Infrastructure exists
Multiple places to go
Even more places to go
Even more content
Ideal for widest content,
easiest workflow
Unmediated, intuitive
18. Short-Term Loan (STL)
• Offered already by major aggregators
– EBL, ebrary, EBSCO
• Variable length
– One day to one month
• Fraction of list price
• Only requires licensing
• Limited to certain titles
• Requires working with many vendors
19. Third Party
• Need to have STL capability built into system
across multiple vendors/publishers
• Would still require licensing
• Single source
– One search
– One invoice
– One workflow
• Mediated
20. STL Via Library Discovery Interface
• Unmediated
– Immediate access
• Requires library to load records for vast
numbers of titles
– Financial risk?
– Is this collection development?
• Isn’t this the logical end point of Demand-
driven acquisition?
21. A Hypothesis
• Any given student can only use n books (or other
resources) in a given year
• Libraries can provide more and more books and
see increased use, but at some point they will
surpass the number of books (or other
resources) their students can use
• If the budget will cover n books per student,
then a library can provide an infinite number of
titles via STL without ever being in danger of
overspending.
23. Buy In
• Librarians
– Collection development vs ILL is a meaningless
(and confusing) distinction
– ILL is a wonderful process – but not the ideal
solution given evolving access models
• Publishers
– Make ALL content available via an STL model
– Through a third party
– At affordable prices
24. We Should be Demanding
• That publishers provide STL capabilities for all
books and articles
– At costs equal to or cheaper than ILL costs
• That there be easy methods for integrating
these into our discovery tools (unmediated) or
a third-party system (mediated)
• That our users always get what they need,
immediately (or very close to it)
25. ILL in an Age of Electronic Content
A Publisher Perspective
25
• What we hear from libraries:
– Make everything available via DDA
• Budgets are tight
• Instant access, (virtually) seamless user experience – when
unmediated
• Only pay for content that is actually used
• So if there is proven user demand, we’ll pay for it
26. ILL in an Age of Electronic Content
A Publisher Perspective
26
• What we also hear from libraries
– Allow for ebooks to be shared via existing ILL process
– But ebook ILL clearly presents certain challenges for
publishers
– And doesn’t ILL represent a very specific form of
user demand?
27. 27
• STL could make digital ILL sustainable for both publishers and libraries
– Publishers receive revenue for content that has shown clear demand
by the end user.
– The library is able to provide instant access to the patron requesting
the content at lower cost than traditional print ILL
– End user receives content they want at the moment of need
– Allows for a shift in cost to ownership when demand is repeated
– Allows for a shift in revenue from shipping to the Academy

A Potential Win Win Solution?
28. Sustainability
28
• Scholarly publishing is at a critical juncture
• How do we remain viable businesses even as we:
– Maintain a massive print infrastructure
– Develop and evolve an efficient ebook supply chain
• File conversion
• File warehousing
• File delivery
• Metadata
29. STL: Future Considerations
29
• Still very early days for ebooks and ebook sales models
• And still relatively early for ebook sales data as PA, DDA, or
STL
• Do we have the right parameters in place for STL?
• Do we have the right pricing models in place?
• How many loans should trigger actual purchase?
