Recent research projects were presented from the U.S., Canada, and Ontario. Participants then brainstormed ideas for future research topics, such as measuring the value of partnerships and clinical library practices. Next steps discussed publishing and collaborating on research through various journals and networks to share findings more broadly. The presentation concluded by highlighting how libraries can contribute to the UN's 2030 agenda.
Transforming library collections and supporting student learning with collect...NASIG
This presentation discusses how the use of collection mapping transformed outdated and unbalanced print collections at Florida SouthWestern State College into collections directly supporting student learning. A collection map is a data driven picture of specific areas of library collections. This approach differs from past approaches to collection development as it doesn't focus on a breadth of subject areas striving to develop a large collection of many volumes that students could possibly find useful, but rather, considers various factors including program enrollment figures, reference interactions, and course content to develop a collection that contributes to the quality and integrity of academic programs. The presenter will explain methodologies used, including the creation of collection maps, and share results the project has yielded for FSW's Rush Library.
Since October 2015 Stockholm University Library has managed
their journal subscriptions without using a subscription agent.
Instead they renew directly with each publisher. During this
breakout session they will share their experience of doing it
themselves. What are the pros and cons of not using an agent?
Are there cost savings to be had? What about the working hours
spent? And what’s the difference between the first and the second time renewing without an agent?
Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

Academic and student experience with reading listsTalis
Analytics are a good foundation, however nothing beats real feedback from your users. Whether it's good or bad, it all helps improve your service and increase your user engagement.
This workshop will explore the skill sets for scholarly
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
than ‘rule followers’, which may mean a fundamental shift
in the library workforce into the future. Working collectively,
the session will consider the implications for upskilling our
‘legacy’ workforce.

L-Index: Designing a New Method for Measuring Library Impact in CanadaHamilton Public Library
Presented at OLA Super Conference 2016
In recent years, libraries around the world have been conducting impact studies, predominantly economic impact studies, to communicate their value to stakeholders. While these studies are useful, they often exclude the social, educational and cultural impacts that libraries make within their communities. To address this gap, Dr. Mary Cavanagh, Dr. Bill Irwin and Kimberly Silk are collaborating to develop the L-Index, a library evaluation methodology and toolkit designed to aid libraries in assessing their economic, social, cultural and educational impact. The team will present their work to date, and invite feedback from session delegates.

Strategic Metrics Workshop: Computers in Libraries Conference, April 2015Hamilton Public Library
In recent years, libraries of all kinds have begun producing economic impact studies. While these studies are often useful in demonstrating impact at the time of publication, data planning and collection over the long term is much more powerful, informing short- and long-term strategies, prioritization, and decision-making. Join Kim Silk and Bill Irwin to learn how you can use data-driven metrics to in- form your strategic plan over the long term, and determine day-to-day decisions in the short term.
Presented by Dr. Bill Irwin, Western University and Kimberly Silk, Canadian Research Knowledge Network
The Economic Impact of Libraries, part of CLA 2014 workshop, "Driving Change for Community Impact". Presented by Kimberly Silk, University of Toronto and Elizabeth Glass, Toronto Public Library. Silk begins with a look at different types of impact studies and then introduces how the Toronto Public Library engaged the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto in 2013 to study of the economic impact and benefits of the library in its community. TPL shares the findings of the study, discusses the importance of demonstrating the economic benefits of public libraries to key stakeholders including city councils, library board members, and the local community, and provides tips for others wanting to show the impact of their libraries.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Canadian School Libraries Research Toolkit
The CSL Research Toolkit supports school library practitioners
as they explore their own practice through research.
We encourage school library practitioners across Canada
to engage in research because:
• Research provides evidence to help understand the
outcomes and impacts of school library practice;
• There is a compelling need for research specific to
Canadian school libraries;
• We need to increase understanding by assessing specific
practices, moving beyond what we have learned through
large-scale correlational studies;
• Practitioner research will inform future practices;
• Sharing what we have learned will deepen understanding
across our constituent communities.
