The document discusses the philosophy of reference services in academic libraries. It states that reference services help with individualization and socialization by creating meaning through self-development and community-development. It also discusses that the library is a place for intellectual freedom and thinking, and the role of the reference librarian is to enact freedom for students rather than dictate what they should learn. It emphasizes that academic reference services must address historical and relational needs, and provide a space for reflection, critique, and the pursuit of new ideas.

(B) Post- publication Review Media
(C) Review of learned periodicals and Specialised Journals
(A) Pre- publication Review Media
1. Publisher’s Weekly.
New York, R.R. Bowker Co. 1872
The weekly is standard American book trade journal. It is a valuable professional aid for selecting books in different types of libraries specially where there is urgency of purchasing popular books.
The weekly mentions non-book materials only but they are not reviewed. Its scope and content is larger than bookseller. It is an essential reading for the librarians to get information about new books.
Publisher’s weekly reviewed 3670 adult books and 520 juvenile works in 1976. Its circulation now, is over 32,000.
2. The New York Times Books Review (weekly).
New York, the New York Times Co. 1896
It is the most popular and oldest reviewing periodical in the USA. Review of books for children and young adults regularly appear in each issue. Each issue lists best selling paperbacks. Fiction reviews are exhaustive and complete-reviews are written by experts.
3. Library Journal (semi-Monthly, Sep-jun: Monthly, July-August).
New York , R.R.Bowker Co. 1876
Public libraries and academic libraries prefer this journal for selection of books. Professional libraries and teachers in library science write the reviews.
The journal is primarily devoted to books and provides varying attention to other media also. Nearly 500 book reviews appear in a year. Reviews generally appear one or two months after the books are published. Reviews are arranged by broad subject headings. The arrangement is alphabetical by subect.
Library education was initially a technical education that was acquired on the job. Practical work in a library, based on a good education in schools, was the only way to train librarians.
It took quite a long time to introduce library education as a subject and has been taught at different levels in the universities of the world.

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.

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.

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.
2. Reference services help in understanding the
concepts of individualization and socialization.
The library is not about having strict socialization,
but having relationships that create meaning
through self-creation and communal-creation.
“Self-creation” refers to open-ended semiotic for
individuals and “communal-creation to open-
ended semiotic for communities.
3. Through reference, the library becomes the
meeting ground for thinking, because information
is directive. Academic libraries, as a hub of
intellectual activity, point toward the need for
socialization and the need to remove barriers that
socialization imposes. The task of the reference
librarian is not to ask, “What should students
learn in college?” or “what job will this course of
study lead to?” Questions such as this suggest
that college faculties are instrumentalities that
can be ordered to a purpose. Instead, the task of
the library in general and the reference librarian in
particular, is to enact freedom before the very
eyes of the students.
4. Academic reference services must address
historical and relational needs. The philosophy of
reference is rooted in an intellectual freedom that
ultimately fosters self-creation and communal-
creation. The academic library must provide a
refuge where users can seek information, reflect
and critique. The academic library must sustain
the use of reference services, a meeting place for
theory and practices. Reference services do not
just offer information about “what?” and “why?”
but also about “how?” thinking leads to possibility.
6. The library collects materials in a variety of
formats and maintains several collections,
attempting to match format with departmental
needs and ease of access. The reference
collection is a key component of the library’s
collection, as and such, development of that
collection should follow the general guidelines set
out in the library’s collection development policy
statement. The reference collection policy is
aimed at further definition of the collection and
key procedures in building and maintaining that
resource.
7. Objectives of the reference collection
policy
To establish guidelines, as concrete and definite
as possible, for both the subject scope of the
reference collection and the materials included.
To set procedures for acquiring new materials
and for weeding the collection that will ensure the
development and maintenance of a complete and
convenient reference collection.
9. Qualifications of a Reference
Librarian
Reference librarian must:
be responsive to the needs of users
think critically
be organized as well as organize or coordinate
projects and services for the user
be aware of current trends and have a wide base of
knowledge
effectively evaluate the sources that they come into
contact with so as to provide the user with the best
information possible
be able to collaborate with others to improve services
and implement new services, in the profession and
also with the user
be an advocate for the library and be involved in any
outreach programs and actively promote the library
and its services
10. Qualities of a Reference Librarian
Reference librarians must have the people skills
necessary to provide good customer service
Reference Librarians must be knowledgeable in their
field; they must have a good understanding of how to
find information, how to evaluate the quality of
information sources, and how information is organized
Reference Librarians must be good teachers,
“demonstrating how, when, and why to use various
reference sources in an integrated way that will
capture the user’s attention at the teachable moment”
(Cassell & Hiremath, 2006, p.7).
The ability to work within a team is also an essential
quality for reference librarians
