What happens when the digital tools and platforms we make and use for communication and entertainment are hijacked for terrorism, violence against the vulnerable and nefarious transactions? What role do designers and developers play? Are we complicit as creators of these technologies and products? Should we police them or fight back? As Portfolio Lead for Northern Lab, Northern Trust's internal innovation startup focused on client and partner experience, Antonio will share a mix of provocative scenarios torn from today's headlines and compelling stories where activism and technology facilitated peace—and war.
As a call-to-action for designers and developers to engage in projects capable of transformational change, he'll explore the question: How might technology foster new experiences to better accelerate social activism and make the world a smarter, safer place?
Digital Commons Institutional Repository: Roles for Library LiaisonsSammie Morris

Using Web 2.0 Applications as Information Awareness Tools
The past few years have seen several new technological initiatives at Drexel University in interdisciplinary fields such as Nanomedicine, Engineering Cities, Drug Delivery, Plasma Medicine, Nanoscale Science and Technology, Microfluidics, and Bionanotechnology. These technological initiatives require faculty and students to work together in groups in a collaborative fashion. This has motivated librarians to experiment with new ways of reaching out to faculty and students. Drexel's emphasis on team based engineering design projects requires students to develop critical understanding of engineering subject areas. Developing awareness about the core electronic resources such as IEEE Xplore, Knovel, Web of Knowledge, Science Direct and Engineering Village is crucial in successfully undergoing research and completing assignments in their classes.
This presentation outlines innovative experiments using web 2.0 applications to increase information among faculty and students. Several web 2.0 tools such as Facebook, Friendfeed, Del.icio.us, Google Reader, Wikis, and blogs will be covered. Having engineering librarian's presence on Facebook is useful since many of the students are heavy Facebook users. Drexel's student Organizations such as IEEE and ASME are also on Facebook. Moreover, Drexel University's College of Engineering has recently launched its Facebook page where activities celebrating National Engineering Week have been quickly promoted among student. Drexel Engineering Information Awareness Campaign Group is a librarian-created Facebook group aimed at increasing awareness of new and existing resources among faculty and students. Feeds from Google Reader can be made automatically available on Facebook pages. For this to happen, a user needs to become ‘a friend’ with the engineering librarian on Facebook.
As faculty and students become more aware of new and existing information tools, the information skills learned during the process of exploring these resources will contribute to life-long learning among the engineering students.

Web 2.0 tools as information awareness sources for science and technology faculty and students
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.

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
Scopus Scopus is a multidisciplinary abstracting database with content taken from over 14,000 peer reviewed periodicals. There is comprehensive coverage of all Sciences including Health and Environmental Science as well as Engineering, Maths, Economics and Psychology. There is also significant coverage of Social Sciences. Abstracts are provided for all articles published since 1966 and all articles published after 1996 have a list of references used in the article. Citations are all active links enabling users to quickly find related material. The service also offers a Web search via the Scirus search engine which indexes over 145 million pages of scientific information. Web of Science Web of Science is a large index of scientific, technical, social sciences, arts and humanities journal articles and conference papers. It can be used to find articles on a subject or to search for citations to a paper of interest. Links to full text, where available, are provided through SHULinks. Other Databases Some use a more limited pool of data - for comprehensive coverage use a range of services
How alerts can help Alerts can help you to find new information by bringing you details of new resources of interest to your email inbox. This can save you time in repeatedly searching information databases and web sites. How to subscribe to an alert When you are using an information database or website look for a link like: " Alerts", "Sign up for Alerts" or "Create Alert" and click on the link. You may be asked to register and you will need to indicate the email address you would like the alerts to be sent to. This is usually free and only takes a few moments. You can then select which new resources you would like to receive alerts about: new resources matching search keywords of your choice new resources by an author of interest new issues of a journal or magazine of interest new articles which cite a resource of interest (information databases which offer citation searching will often offer this type of citation alert) Services that offer alerts Many of the Information Databases available via LitSearch have an option to set up alerts. These let you know if any new articles or resources of interest are added to the database. The websites for journals and magazines will often offer an option for you to sign up to alerts containing the contents pages of new issues.
How feeds can help Feeds can save you time and help you to find new information by bringing you updates from websites, information databases, blogs and news sources without the need for you to go and check each site. What the jargon means Feeds are also called web feeds or RSS feeds. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is the technology used in creating feeds. You may also come across Atom feeds which use an alternative technology to RSS, but provide the same service. How to subscribe to and view a feed On a web site or information database look for the feeds symbol or a link to "Feed" or "RSS feed". Click on the symbol or link and if multiple feeds are available, select the feed you would like. If you are using Internet Explorer you will then see a Subscribe to this feed link. Click on this link to subscribe. To view your feeds in Internet Explorer, click the Favorites Center button (the yellow star) and then click Feeds . Instead of using Internet Explorer, you can use a program called a feed reader or feed aggregator to see any new updates from all your feeds. An example of a popular, free feed reader is Bloglines , but there are many others available. To add a feed to a feed reader, you will need to copy the URL for the feed and add it to the reader. To do this, right click on the feed symbol and then choose Copy shortcut or Copy Link Location. Follow the instructions in your chosen feed reader for adding the feed. Most feed readers also offer quick ways of adding feeds, so have a look for other ways of doing this.
