The Invisible Traceback: blockers that make potential contributors drop out (and how to fix them) - originally presented at the 2009 Ontario Linux Festival.
Abstract:
Unix Philosophy #12, Rule of Repair: "When you must fail, fail noisily and as soon as possible." This applies to both code and culture; when someone gets stuck and hollers for help, they are helping their community find and fix a participation process bug. However, the new contributor on-ramp pipeline is particularly tricky to debug; potential participants often struggle in silence, giving you no indication of their presence, let alone why they were unable to begin working with your project community. We'll go over some common blockers that quietly prevent students (and other new contributors) from beginning to participate in open source, and how to fix them no matter who you are.
Beginners enthusiastically welcomed - this talk is for everyone who's ever wanted to contribute to open source as well as everyone who's ever wanted to help someone else get started. It took me over 6 years of banging my head against a solitary wall to figure out how to contribute back to open source (and it's been worth it); here's how to figure out (or help someone figure out) the same thing in 99.999% less time.

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.
Moderator: Becky Clark, Marketing Director, Johns Hopkins University Press

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.

Two Technical Services librarians from Sam Houston State University provide an initial explanation of the many iterations of PDA, and then share their experiences, frustrations, and lessons learned as well as contemplate the future of this acquisition model in academic libraries.
Presented at TLA District 8 Fall Conference 2014 at San Jacinto Community College on October 18, 2014.
This webinar will provide an overview of the current work undertaken to re-write the techniques for electronic resource management with the incorporation of open access workflow management. This overview will provide insight into the key areas under exploration and outline the feedback compiled from the two interactive sessions held at the UKSG Annual Conference. We will also talk about the next steps we undertake to share the development of this project.
*Updated and reorganised following feedback in the breakouts*
While many librarians have developed mechanisms and
structures for managing local scholarship separate from
their standard resource management practices, the
intersection of the two content streams is occurring at
many institutions. During the past decade the presenters
have dedicated themselves to capturing best practices
of electronic resource management and mapping out
paths for creating open access workflows. Join them for a
lively discussion and interactive session where they outline
ways to bring these two initiatives together and identify the
teams needed.

Dealing With the Demand: Handling the Problems of Demand-Driven AcquisitionsDom Bortruex
The University of South Florida has made demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) an increasing part of its purchases of e-books and streaming videos. Both the traditional DDA model and the newer evidence-based acquisitions method are used, and the amount of records generated and number of vendors has posed challenges for USF technical services librarians. This presentation looks at the changes in workflows necessitated and the use of automation to detect and fix problems.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

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.

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?
