Some of the key tips included being proactive in sharing research outputs through blogs, repositories and social media; monitoring the impact of different sharing approaches; developing an online network through Twitter and other platforms; and optimizing search engine visibility by providing links from highly ranked sites. The presentation emphasized the potential benefits of open engagement for increasing citations, downloads and the visibility of research.

This is a facts & figures overview of the Digital Scholarship Training offered by the Library & IT Services at the University of York over the last 18 months.
We've found the academic community (specifically academics, postgraduate researchers and support staff) extremely receptive to the workshops, which cover themes such as Twitter (for teaching and for research), blogging, the presentation tool Prezi, and Google Apps for Education.
If you work in a library or IT department at a Higher Education institution and have relevant expertise in this area, find a way to deliver it to the people who want it!

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

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.

Evidence
How do we find out more?
• Peak statistics for repository
only available for 1 year
But:
Blog post about availability in Opus published on
11 August 2009

Conclusion: Blog post responsible for initial popularity
Further investigation (of all my
paper downloads) confirms
large peak in August 2009
18. #boltonunirandi14
Beyond the Edge Cases
Little-downloaded paper:
• Uploaded to repository 6 years after paper written
• I was not lead author
• Only PDF version uploaded
• Never blogged about; never tweeted
Most popular paper:
• Available in IR on launch of journal issue
• I was lead author
• Blog post published on day of launch
• Available in PDF, MS Word & HTML formats
• Link to paper subsequently tweeted & retweeted
• About Web 2.0, so likely to be read by bloggers
But what about the majority of papers?

SEO or SMO
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation):
Helping Google find your papers through:
• Writing style, document structure, …
• In-bound links
SMO (Social Media Optimisation):
Helping other people find your papers through:
• Sharing on social media services
• Facilitating conversations
• Viral marketing
SMO: Good for new papers, but not relevant for popular
papers written from 2004-8
SEO: Document structure consistent. Difference appears
to be significant nos. of in-bound links 19

Preparation
We:
• Uploaded paper to repository so URL was known
• Provided a link to the paper in speaker’s slides
• Uploaded holding slide to Slideshare so URL was
known (slides were finalised shortly before talk)
We could then:
• Prepare blog posts in advance
• Create short URLs for use in Twitter in advance

Importance of Google
Context:
• Between 50-80% of traffic to IRs are from Google
(may be higher if direct links to PDFs not recorded by
Google Analytics)
What provides ‘Google juice’:
• On-page SEO techniques
(structure, writing style, …)
• Links to pages, especially
from highly-ranking sites
What’s different about IRs?
• Same page structure
• Therefore importance of links
to repository

Wikipedia and Microsoft are
highest ranking domains with
links to IRs

“It’s About Nodes and Connections”
Cameron Neylon keynote at OR 2012:
“Networks qualitatively change our
capacity”
• With only 20% of a community connected only
limited interaction can take place
• This increases drastically as numbers of
connected nodes grows
Examples:
• Phone networks (no use with only 1 user!)
• Tweeting at confereces
• Galaxy Zoo
44
“Filters block. Filters cause
friction”
Need for client-side, not
supply-side filters.
45. Tweetchat
Tweetchats:
• Discussions on Twitter
• Specific topic covered
at specified time
• Use hashtags e.g.
#PhDchat, #ECRchat
Summary at
Survey findings:
“give a community &
shared space to
explore ideas”
“regular opportunity to
network with a wide
range of people I
wouldn’t otherwise
meet”
“have very interesting
and thought-provoking
discussions/debate”

Using Twitter (For The Sceptic)
Not a natural Twitterer, but see benefits?
• Have an avatar (portrait, animal, hobby)
56
Grow your community (cf the conversations you miss)
• Participate in hashtagged events so like-minded people
see you exist
• Share links to resources you care about (your stuff;
stuff you’re reading)
• Favourite tweets (so others can see you’ve done so and
maybe then follow you)
57. Understand Twitter Interactions
An @ message (can be
delivered by SMS)
57
New followers: which
should I follow back?
The tweets which have
been retweeted (RTd)
Tweets which have been
favourited (bookmarked)
