The document summarizes the development and implementation of POOF (Pre-Order Online Form), a tool created by Columbia University Library and Cornell University Library to streamline the pre-order process. POOF allows subject specialists at both institutions to review bibliographic records from WorldCat and determine if an item should be purchased, with the system then generating acquisition records and purchase orders. The document outlines the goals and challenges of POOF, provides usage statistics from Cornell, and describes the workflows and decision trees used at each institution. Future enhancements to the system are also discussed.

Rethinking Library Acquisition: Demand-Driven Purchasing for Scholarly Books
Librarians must reconsider how they collect monographs. Traditionally, academic libraries purchase books to support their curricular and research needs, without much consideration of use. Even though 40% or more of books in most academic libraries never get used, this model makes sense in a world in which books go out of print, shelf space is available, and collection budgets are stable. But the world has changed: as publishers shift to an electronic model, books will not go out of print, libraries are under pressure to convert shelf space to study space; and libraries have fewer funds to purchase books annually. This panel will discuss approaches to demand-driven acquisition of monographs at two institutions: the University of Arizona and the University of Denver. While discussing plans being developed at these libraries, we will also look at implications for libraries in general, scholarly publishing, book vendors and academia.

The Electronic Sandbox: Cross Organizational Electronic Resource Management.Colleen Major
Our presentation will focus on Cornell and Columbia’s efforts to examine local electronic resource
licensing, acquisition, and management work-flows; identifying procedures and operations that can be
streamlined and integrated as we move closer towards the goal of joint management of electronic
resources.
The presenters will provide a brief background of the 2CUL collaboration (http://2cul.org/node/17), an
overview of our varied local practices, workflow environments and systems used to support the life
cycle of an electronic resource. We will speak to our similarities and differences, and areas that have
been identified from which we can build a stronger collaboration. Emphasis will be placed on our
current efforts to investigate local e-book purchasing procedures and the potential development for a
joint workflow. Presenters will also discuss the experience of cross-institutional collaboration and
communication, and we will highlight the efforts of established cross-institutional committees and task
forces which are working to provide a future framework for the technical services 2CUL environment.

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

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.

Editor's Notes
Based on the source code of the Internet Resource Cataloging Request form, MAS and CUL’s systems librarians developed the OOF to replace paper submissions and automate the creation of a record and p.o. in Voyager
Much of the cost incurred to acquire new materials for libraries happens as a result of the number of hand-offs of data between the person first deciding what to buy and the system used to execute the purchase order request. The diagram below illustrates the complexities and number of steps involved in the title-level acquisitions activity.
Subject specialists would use POOF! as a starting point to initiate a purchase request. Tools currently employed include scrawls on paper, publisher blurbs, screen shots, and e-mail messages. The functionality described in the sample schematics for POOF! would save this user significant time by allowing her to copy/paste an OCLC record number or ISBN. POOF! will query WorldCat and harvest appropriate metadata to fill in the required bibliographic fields associated with the title to be ordered. Other features will allow for a template of default values for fund codes, holding library locations, price, and currency. Once the subject specialist completes the form, she may simply submit the order request to her respective ordering processing center for final action. In the case of 2CUL, shared subject specialists will be able to submit purchase requests for both Cornell and Columbia from the same system. A consequence of submitting the purchase request is the log of transactions. Subject specialists would have a concise history of their purchase requests. Library patrons (faculty, students, staff) would use POOF! to initiate an order request. Their request would be reviewed by a library staff user who would forward the bibliographic and requestor metadata along to the subject specialist user. Acquisitions processing staff may use the POOF! to enter order requests for those subject specialists who choose to use other means to transmit their requests to their respective processing center. But the major benefit for this user is that all of the steps illustrated in the diagram above would be performed by machine when POOF! has been used as the order metadata ingest tool. POOF! , the one-by-one transactions would be done automatically. Specialist materials vendor staff may use POOF! as a tool to create MARC records they wish to forward to specific subject specialists for purchase decisions. The costs for entering the ordering metadata will have been shifted from the Library to the vendor, thus achieving another source of savings for the Library. The vendor benefits by not having to invest in an infrastructure to create and transmit MARC records. The Library benefits by receiving MARC records—records in a format that can be manipulated through exiting acquisitions processing systems such as Voyager.
The majority of our “kick-outs” are records that were deduped by Voyager when we tried to bulk-save them into our system in order to create new purchase orders. We need to make sure that these records are essential duplicates that are truly needed for our collections. If they are mere duplicates they need to be rejected. Unless indicated by our selectors that these are “intentional duplicates” we treat them as unwanted orders.
Columbia doesn’t use World Cat Select. Selectors assign vendors. Matrix attached to POOF assigns vendors when enough bib info with country code is available
Add Shibboleth authentication. Write requirements for emailing patrons at each point of the request processing. Treat Atlas ILL emails for unfulfilled requests like another vendor filter. Add facility to get bibliographic data from vendor's web sites. Selector or other user will copy information from vendor sites and paste items into the appropriate queue in POOF. Amazon.com routing in vendor matrix? Add book covers to interface? Get from Google? Consider transitioning to Zotero based on the following considerations: selector adoption usability updates to Zotero or our ability to customize the source. Create a POOF interface for handheld devices - maybe potential for future developments? It will be really nice to have the option for a selector to pick a catalog or even a book at a store scan the barcode add fund and location information and stream it through poof to Acquisitions. (Consider for a possible Phase 3?) Make the "stripped down" form on the CUL Web site interactive, more like the "deluxe" form. Create functionality to automatically email patrons who have made suggestions that were ultimately rejected. Consider adjustments that may be necessary to accommodate vendors inputing requests in POOF, such as for foreign language materials, Korean, Hebrew, etc. Create a "smart router" to have a seamless interaction with POOF (Ada handles POOF records and not emails) from the online order request form to the "Switchboard operator" and from her to selectors. Build in time in phase two to address bug reports, enhancement requests, etc. of phase 1 work, as more people will be using it. Consider internal promotion, outreach, in meetings at each organization, possibly screencasts, etc. External promotions, reports, articles, conference presentations. Consider creating an open source project (use Drupal.org's facilities for documentation, issue tracking, etc?): refactoring, packaging code project site, with documentation, bug tracking features, etc. plan building a community around project, promoting through articles, conferences seek contributed input filters what will our support/maintenance commitment be?
