This presentation provides an overview of causes why library and information services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, but in fact also for companies and organisations. A focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them to come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for your organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of (library) information systems is required to deliver your services and resources at the place of need. A simple short-term solution like a QuickSearch Library Toolbar is explained, several other tools to “enrich” the user’s personal search environment, as well as the more long-term ongoing work at the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.

Together with Carol Perryman (MSLIS, TRLN Doctoral Fellow at School of Information & Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) Guus van den Brekel (Coördinator Electronic Services of the Central Medical Library at University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands), is working in a Grant-funded project: "Providing Consumer Health Outreach and Library Programs to Virtual World Residents in Second Life".
HealthInfo Island ,which is the home of the Consumer Health Library, the SL Medical Library and NLM/SIS, wants to be a central point in SL for health and medical information and is investigating possible ways of further cooperation with other health and medical non-profit organizations.
One of the main targets for the project is to reach out to all Support Groups in Second Life.
A brief summary of our findings about working in a virtual environment like Second Life and some future developments is included, as well as an overview of health, educational, clinical, medical related activities in Second Life.

Abstract:
This paper and its accompanying presentation and video explore the library experience in Second Life and takes us on a visual journey through the virtual environment; meeting some of the librarians and educators, collaborators and partners. It introduces virtual worlds and their increasing significance to the library and educational communities, show-casing the work of the Alliance Virtual Library (AVL) founded and coordinated by the Alliance Library System of Peoria, Illinois, USA. Over the last 2.5 years, AVL has explored what it would be like to provide library services in virtual worlds, beginning with one librarian on a parcel of virtual land to a footprint that now comprises 50 islands, the virtual equivalent of 1.26 square miles, the size of Angel Island, standing proud and strong in the San Francisco Bay.
What are some of the issues and ongoing challenges facing libraries as they consider the creation of a virtual presence? What does a library “feel like” in a virtual world? (see accompanying video) How are libraries integrating Second Life with social networking sites such as FaceBook, Twitter, Delicious, YouTube, blogs and their existing web sites? Join us for this virtual world exploration and new media demonstration, I am Library.

Workshop “Hoe kom ik nu aan de full-text?”
Dankzij het hybride werken is lang niet iedereen elke dag meer te vinden “on campus”, maar ook voor mensen thuis moet de toegang tot wetenschappelijke informatie en bibliotheekdiensten goed geregeld zijn. De bibliotheek heeft hierin een taak om bronnen zo bereikbaar mogelijk te houden, waar onze gebruikers ook werken. Daarnaast is de opkomst van open access publiceren de laatste jaren ook in een stroomversnelling geraakt. Dat een groot deel van het wetenschappelijk werk nu open access beschikbaar is, is natuurlijk erg mooi, maar de open access-artikelen zijn her en der verspreid over het web. Wat is de meest efficiënte manier om deze publicaties te vinden?
Ook niet onbelangrijk is dat toegang tot tijdschriften erg prijzig is en veel instituten hebben niet de middelen om een licentie op alle bronnen te nemen. Vooral organisaties buiten de academische wereld worstelen met toegang tot onderzoek. Bovendien moeten de organisaties met toegang de vraag stellen, wat zullen we doen als we plotseling de toegang tot een reeks tijdschriften verliezen om het abonnement is geannuleerd? Als de bibliotheek een artikel niet kan leveren, dan weten we dat onze gebruikers andere manieren zullen gebruiken om de pdf te krijgen. Echter, deze andere manieren bespreken we bijna nooit. Hoeveel verschillende manieren zijn er precies? Hoe werken ze?
Deelnemers van de workshop leren over alle mogelijke manieren, hulpmiddelen en krijgen tips om de full-tekst te vinden van wetenschappelijke publicaties. We bespreken “best practices” van bibliotheek-tools en diensten (Linkresolvers, Discovery, LeanLibrary, LibX, Apps, etc.) en testen we vooral alle alternatieve tools zoals EndNote Click (voorheen Kopernio), Unpaywall, CORE Discovery, OpenAccess-Button, LibKey Nomad, Google Scholar-Button en andere extensies of bookmarklets.
De tools die we willen laten zien zijn maar beperkt beschikbaar op smartphones of tablets. Neem daarom als het kan een laptop mee waarop in Edge, Chrome of FireFox extensies geïnstalleerd mogen worden.
The Trail of the Data : Why the library should be the central pivot bringing ...Guus van den Brekel
The purpose of this talk is to explain, emphasize and discuss the growing importance of being abled to identify, track, record and analyse all research related data inside ánd outside the academic hospital environment. The goal is to aim for better insight of the data trail, contributing to research integrity, research impact and societal relevance. The medical library plays a crucial role as partner in collaboration with key stakeholders inside the hospital, and within the university research community. Because of it's unique wide and overall perspective, it has the opportunity to see new possibilities and needs to grasp these new tasks and set new relationships with partners that were previously out of scope.
Background:
The use and development of various research- or healthcare-related datasystems is growing exponentially over the last years. Technical innovations make it possible to much more easily either integrate data systems or create live interacton and data-exchange with sources inside and outside the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). The medical library is trying to pro-actively initiate more awareness, discussion, procedures plus guidelines.
Summary and activities:
From the perspective of the medical library in it's role of managing and facilitating the current research information systems (CRIS, in our case “Pure”), combined with the growing expertise in research analytics and impact, we clearly see the urgency of bringing together healthcare data-systems in the hospital with other research-related systems. This is needed in order to be able to comply to research integrity, legal and ethical requirements, but also to enable better use of the research data for analytical purposes to support various processes in academic career development and research assessment.
Identifying relations between research output and healthcare data is one thing, but actually creating and registering these relationships in the research information systems is a task where the library can take a leading role.
In the UMCG it is mandatory to register each scientific project in which (new or existing) data and/or biomaterials of human subjects (patients and/or healthy volunteers) are involved. The library has been involved –together with many other stakeholders- in the development of this internal "Research Register" and the UMCG data catalogue, with the main focus to make integration possible with Pure for research output and authors.
In order to improve visibility and findability in general, the library advised in creating publishing guidelines for several UMCG affiliations including the Cohort and Biobank Coordination Hub (with 150+ UMCG Cohorts & Biobanks) with focus on making relations and connection possible between the data systems, research output and other research-related items.
The library is co-admin for the UMCG for all clinical trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. Together with Research Office we are working on research
Into The User Environment 2022! EAHIL2022 plenary presentationGuus van den Brekel
“ Into the User Environment Now!» was the title of my first plenary presentation at an EAHIL conference.
It pictured how -back in 2006- how users and the information landscape changed rapidly, and what we needed to do about it as medical libraries, to keep up the pace, to not loose the connection with the user.
Technologies to embrace, actions to take…
This update pictures where things went right, wrong or very different! And it discusses where we are now in 2022, with a peek into possible futures, from the perspective of a medical library in a Dutch academic hospital, facilitating patient care, education ánd research support.

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.

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.

The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
