The document discusses the library's efforts to introduce e-book readers and QR codes to students from 2009-2011. It provided loan services for e-readers like Sony e-readers and received mixed feedback from students. The library also implemented a QR code project to provide information about resources through smartphones. The library transitioned its subject guides to LibGuides to better share information online and received positive feedback from students and faculty. It also began using social media like Foursquare and RSS feeds to engage and communicate with users. The document outlines some of the library's considerations for using social media and teaching its use to others.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

I liked that no one else knew what we were doing
Quick and easy…. relevant to my course
Couldn’t make the scanner work
Didn’t like that it only worked if you did it all

Libguides
LibGuides - content management and information sharing system.
Subscription via Springshare based on the size of your institution.
Allows “us” to create websites without the help of an IT department or
programming knowledge.
We’ve created content, shared our knowledge and connected with our
users using tailored subject libguides.
11. Result! – fab feedback within University
“New guide looks great thank you” : Stage 3 Sociology student
“Many thanks for sending around the link to the new library page for politics.
It is really a terrific resource for students (and staff)” : Postgraduate Research Director
I just thought I’d thank you and colleagues for the time you put into setting-up the
Singapore library guides. We found that there are various ways into some of the e-
resources off-site, not all of which give full text access (journals) or sometimes have time
restrictions on viewing e-books; and without the guides we would have been in a bit of a
mess here – students had no difficulties using these very quickly (so thanks very much!):
Programme Director, Singapore
I was in one of your sessions on the library the other day. Am emailing for 2 reasons.
Firstly, just wanted to express how much I LOVE the libguide for SELLLL... it might be the
best thing since... well, point 2 on this email. It's fantastic and easy to use and I love it. :

• Getting buy in
Staff know why we’re on there and why we are using it.
Commitment to engage and promote.
Not about setting up accounts and not using them.
• Over committed? Too many platforms
Not really. Systems communicate with each other e.g.
Twitter updates FB page.
Workload shared between teams
• Tone
RS and the bunnies more informal and friendly.
Students seem to like it.

I have analysed the stats from the start of the project (1/3/10) until the end of the project (30/6/10). The spreadsheets and results are at G/RS/Ebook readers/ebook reader registrations. I have pinned up printed copies on the RS noticeboard in case anybody is interested. Here is a summary of the findings: We had 121 registered users in total – This was broken down by faculty as follows: MED= 7, SAGE=37, HASS=70, ROBINSON STAFF=6, INT OFFICE =1 So HASS is the clear winner here. There were 65 Postgraduates, 40 Undergraduates, 11 staff, 1 Associate + 6 Robinson staff Aleph stats show that there were 113 loans in total during the project period- this was as follows: Staff 16, Associates 3, Postgraduates 56 and Undergraduates 38 Comments were very mixed and people seemed to either love or hate the e-book readers. The red binder containing all the collected feedback is still available on the shelves next to the e-book readers. The project ended on 30 th June but we will continue to loan to machines in the normal way. The only difference is that we are no longer collecting feedback.
Before we had lots of different pages (still do but work to be done on website over the summer) Various printed sheets, which always need reprinting once something changed Metalib – our subject gateway from ExLibris which lists resources in alpa order and cluster. Also meant to do federated searching. Other areas on library website to access ejournals, the catalogue, ebooks etc
What are libguides
Why we love them
Feedback; well received. WE have some QR codes to scan so you can see our libguides. One for Business, agriculture and Titanic
Promoting resources through mobile apps
Our friendly personable bunnies page
Taking some initiative for being knowledgeable about social media. People ring up the library when they aren’t sure who to ask. So we get involved in lots of conversations about new tools and ways to best do something. Teaching on various progs and modules. Esp new PhD students as part of formal module about social media. We’ve played with lots of stuff e.g netvibes and various tools. Try and see if its useful/relevant/what benefits Trial and error. Talking to each other.
Archives Alive – the bubbles games on smartboards to engage children. The cholera game. Make your own ending for stories.
