This document discusses strategic commissioning by libraries to generate income through partnerships. It provides examples of how Warwickshire County Council libraries have commissioned services including early years rhyme time sessions, books on prescription, police inquiries in libraries, heritage events, and providing a mobile library service for a neighboring authority. These partnerships have generated over £100,000 total income annually. The document advocates that libraries think bigger about partnership opportunities to sustain services, improve prospects, and raise their profile within the community.

This document discusses workplace learning initiatives at Cardiff University. It began in 2005 with a pilot job rotation program involving 3 staff pairs rotating roles for 6 weeks. This helped improve skills and relationships. It later expanded to include Do Something Different days, where staff spend a day in another department, and job shadowing. These initiatives aim to help staff learn new skills, build relationships across the university, and increase job satisfaction. They have been popular programs that the document suggests could continue expanding to involve more areas of the university.

Incertidumbre
El documento presenta las ideas de Eduardo Arroyo sobre la incorporación de conceptos como la incertidumbre, probabilidad y relatividad en la arquitectura, a partir de los desarrollos en otras disciplinas como la física. Arroyo argumenta que la arquitectura debe ser permeable a estos nuevos planteamientos y abandonar nociones fijas de espacio, tiempo y orden. La vida y la conciencia funcionan bajo lógicas probabilísticas, por lo que la arquitectura también debería abordarse de forma flexible y adaptable a diferentes contextos.

The document discusses the British Library's implementation of a roving reference service to provide assistance to library patrons. Some key points:
- Roving reference staff walk around the library to proactively help patrons rather than waiting at a service desk. This improves accessibility and response times.
- An initial pilot program was successful, so the library expanded the roving service and provided additional training to reference staff.
- Implementing the roving service required assessing patron needs, benchmarking other libraries, addressing challenges like staffing needs, and making the business case for ongoing support.
- The roving model enhances collaborative work between library departments and allows staff to engage patrons throughout the physical library spaces.

Cb publiclibrariesinthe21stcentury
Public libraries in the UK have undergone significant changes in recent years to adapt to the 21st century. A national framework provides funding and standards to help libraries transform their services and focus on books/reading, community spaces, and digital skills. Case studies show how libraries in London Borough of Croydon collaborate with schools and engage diverse community groups like families and immigrants through services like Bookstart, literacy programs, and learning centers. As libraries continue reinventing their roles and staff skills, their goal is to remain vital community places that improve lives through knowledge, advocacy, and support of citizens.

This document discusses the role and value of departmental libraries at the University of Michigan. It notes that some departmental libraries have closed in recent years due to limited resources. It explores how departmental libraries can demonstrate their value by measuring return on investment and ensuring they are meeting the needs of their departments.

It also notes the university is exploring consolidating some local services to reduce costs.
Libraries for Life and SROI - Presentation for York v1.0.ppt
The document discusses applying Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis to evaluate Wales' 2008-2011 "Libraries for Life" strategy. SROI was used to assess two program strands: workforce development and a community libraries program. The analysis identified outcomes for staff, users, and communities. It found the programs generated £3.12-£3.42 of social return for every £1 invested. However, SROI proved challenging to apply at this large scale. While it provided insights, other tools may better measure the overall performance and economic impact of library services.

Straight Talk about the "B" Word: using the Edge benchmarks in your library
The document discusses introducing Edge benchmarks to libraries to assess and improve their public access technology services. It provides 14 sample benchmarks in categories like community value, engagement, and organizational management. The benchmarks focus on areas like training, digital content access, education support, and technology planning. TechSoup's role is to provide content and training to help libraries implement the voluntary online assessment. Successful libraries highlighted are not afraid to fail when trying new things, seek partnerships, and get out into their communities to understand needs. The document encourages libraries to use the benchmarks and resources to demonstrate value to decision makers.

The University of Glasgow Library developed a strategy to deliver mobile services over multiple phases.
Phase 1 involved developing a mobile catalogue, implementing QR codes, testing instant messaging and e-books, and conducting user surveys. Based on survey findings that most use mobile internet for email, social media and browsing, the top requested services were searching articles, checking out books and reading e-books.
Phase 2 will focus on improving the mobile website, expanding access to e-resources beyond e-books, using QR codes in physical locations, teaching digital skills, and utilizing mobile devices to improve workflows. The strategy is being implemented and promoted in phases based on user research.SLIC FE 2011Tom MacMaster
The document summarizes several ongoing reviews that will impact post-16 education in Scotland. Key points include:
1) Reviews cover college governance, ICT infrastructure, and the role of colleges. Recommendations include regionalization and shared services.

The document summarizes the work of SLIC (Scottish Library and Information Council) in supporting further education (FE) libraries in Scotland. It discusses SLIC's annual FE library survey which benchmarks resources, technology, and staffing. The survey found that most colleges cite JISC ebooks as their most used online resource and are making good use of technology like QR codes. It also notes future challenges for FE libraries like reduced budgets, restructured services, and changing user expectations. SLIC helps FE libraries respond by promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, workforce development, and digital initiatives to support quality library services across Scotland.

The document summarizes the SCURL Walk-In Access to E-resources Project which investigated technical and operational solutions to enable higher education institutions to provide access to electronic resources for external and walk-in users where licenses permit. The project aimed to deliver a toolkit identifying good practices and built on outcomes of previous UK projects. It discusses various approaches taken by member institutions to provide access within the terms of licenses, including the use of Shibboleth, EZProxy, dedicated computers and IP ranges.Innovation with reducing budgets British Library
Innovation with reducing budgets British LibraryScottish Library & Information Council (SLIC), CILIP in Scotland (CILIPS)
The British Library is facing significant budget cuts while still aiming to fulfill its mission of enabling access and supporting research. This has required developing new digitization and funding models, moving from selective "boutique" digitization to larger-scale "mass digitization" projects pursued through public/private partnerships. Examples discussed include newspaper digitization through a partnership with Brightsolid and book digitization through agreements with Microsoft and Google. While innovative approaches are needed, traditional efficiency improvements also remain important to make progress despite budget challenges.mlibrary project Napier University

The document summarizes research from two surveys on students' use of mobile technologies and attitudes toward using library services on their phones. It finds that most students own smartphones and browse the web daily, with Apple and Samsung being the most popular brands. While over 90% of students would like to access library services on their phones, about a third said data limits restrict their mobile web use. The document concludes that libraries need to design accessible services for a variety of mobile devices and operating systems while keeping pace with the rapid changes in mobile technology.Wendy Walker - Ebooks Unbound at University of Glasgow – Power to the Users?

The document discusses the University of Glasgow's experiments with demand-driven acquisition (DDA) models for ebooks. It implemented a small patron-driven acquisition trial through an ebook aggregator, spending a limited amount on about 1500 ebook titles over 4 months. Usage was high, with 10% of titles receiving 10 or more access and the average cost per used title being £55.96. Only 10% of titles saw no repeat use after initial purchase. The university is considering further DDA trials and evaluating different models to help build its ebook collection in a responsible way while supporting user needs.Nora Dale - Growing Knowledge: The evolution of research

The document outlines three deliverables for a project: 1) Install a prototype digital research space, 2) Design and build user interfaces and workstation arrays demonstrating a vision for multimedia digital research, 3) Evaluate user experiences in the technology-rich environment. It then summarizes findings from evaluating the prototype space, including that researchers want advanced search functionality and better organization of research papers, and that Wi-Fi access and using their own devices were important to users. The recommendation is to focus on greater remote access to resources, advanced search and reference tools, and training to facilitate their use while acknowledging a role in the full digital research process beyond content provision.More from Scottish Library & Information Council (SLIC), CILIP in Scotland (CILIPS) (20)

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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
