Facing the Music: Are Information Professionals and Researchers Dancing to Di...Lukas Koster

Presentation by Jane Stevenson and Lukas Koster at ELAG 2013 in Ghent, Belgium, May 30, 2013. The slides without the performance don’t make much sense. We advise you to watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovmmPNcFteA
Is there a gap between what researchers want and what information professionals provide? In this presentation, we tried to show that people's expectations have changed. We illustrated this with a sketch in a music shop and we acted out a library scenario where a researcher is baffled by what is provided by the library. The researcher wants everything in an integrated way, and not to have to think about cataloguing systems, confusing terminology and barriers to access.

The Open Faculty Patchbook is an ongoing collection of stories by post-secondary educators, (mostly college) about their teaching. It was meant to serve as a community collaboration of how-to-teach tips and tricks that can be patched together to form a sort of manual on how to teach.
What it became, however, was a bit different than that. It is a book and it is about teaching. There are a lot of great ideas on how to go about your teaching. That is for sure. There are some gaps. But what it is more than anything, I think, is an warm invitation to enter the community of open educators.
The books presented are the winners of the 2013 Notable Books for a Global Society book awards. These are selected by the NBGSe committee of the Children's Literature and Reading Special Interest Group of the International Reading Association.

‘SOUTH PARK’S JOKE ABOUT TRANSGENDER ATHLETES GETS HUGE BACKLASHGarry Lachman
It never comes as a shock when South Park says or does something offensive. The adult cartoon is well known for its hilarious, controversial, and often offensive humor, and this is what makes it so popular around the world. It is probably impossible to count the number of times that the cartoon has offended someone or has made an extremely offensive joke. However, their most recent one is probably their most controversial. They have poked fun at and have completely roasted the transgender community by featuring a trans athlete in an episode. Obviously, the show has received a huge backlash with many dubbing the creators as transphobic. Keep scrolling to see the clip, and to hear what people have had to say on the matter...

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 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.

16. “In education, this means the end of
the one-way passing along of
knowledge to students. For they
already live in a “field” of knowledge
created by new media which, though
different in kind, is yet far richer and
more complex than any ever taught
via traditional curricula.”
50. “When your old world is collapsing and
everything is changing at a furious pitch,
to start announcing your preferences for
old values is not the act of a serious
person.
It is frivolous, fatuous...
51.
52. ...If you were to knock on the door of one of
these critics and say “Sir, there are flames
leaping out of your roof, your house is
burning,” under these conditions he would
then say to you, “That’s a very interesting
point of view. Personally, I couldn’t disagree
with you more.”...
53.
54. ...That’s all these critics are saying. Their
house is burning and they’re saying, “Don’t
you have any sense of values, simply
telling people about fire when you should
be thinking about the serious content, the
noble works of the mind?”
Value is irrelevant.”
64. “The movement of information at
approximately the speed of light has
become by far the largest industry of the
world. The consumption of this
information has become correspondingly
the largest consumer function in the
world...
65.
66. ...The globe has become on one hand a
community of learning, and at the same
time...the globe has become a tiny village.
Patterns of human association based on
slower media have become overnight not
only irrelevant and obsolete, but a threat to
continued existence and to sanity.”

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is
normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of
the way the world works.

Netflix's global subscriber base grew almost 70% over the past year, to 23.6 million users...that’s 7% of the entire population of the US\n
In the United States, Netflix represents more than 20 percent of downstream traffic during peak times," Sandvine wrote in a statement highlighting its "Fall 2010 Global Internet Phenomena" report. The company said that Netflix's traffic is heaviest (20.61 percent, to be precise) between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. local time--the venerable prime time for people to sit back, relax, and enjoy some programming.\n\nRead more: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20020434-17.html#ixzz1KkeGZQPX\n

Digital Divide Cost argument - Moore’s Law\n
In October 2009 John Walkenbach noticed that the price of the Kindle was falling at a consistent rate, lowering almost on a schedule. By June 2010, the rate was so unwavering that he could easily forecast the date at which the Kindle would be free: November 2011.\nSince then I've mentioned this forecast to all kinds of folks. In August, 2010 I had the chance to point it out to Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. He merely smiled and said, "Oh, you noticed that!" And then smiled again.\nWhen I brought it to the attention of publishing veterans they would often laugh nervously. How outrageous! they would say. It must cost something to make? The trick was figuring out how Amazon could bundle the free Kindle and still make money. My thought was the cell phone model: a free Kindle if you buy X number of e-books.\n\n\n

There have been several watershed moments in information sharing over the last millennium or so; Gutenberg and the printing press, the invention of mass media with the radio and television, the Internet. The cellular revolution in some ways is a natural outgrowth of the media before it. Indeed, it subsumes all of them, providing books, audio, and video as a part of its current incarnation. But the future of the mobile device is so much more than just as a platform for the media of the past. It is that, but it is also the mechanism of creation for entirely new types of information.\n \nThe Honeywell Kitchen Computer or H316 pedestal model of 1969 was a short-lived product made by Honeywell and offered by Neiman Marcus. It sold for $10,000, weighs over 100 pounds, and is used for storing recipes (but reading or entering these recipes would have been very difficult for the average cook as the only "user interface" was the binary front panel lights and switches). It had a built in cutting board and had a few recipes built in. There is no evidence that any Honeywell Kitchen Computers were ever sold. [3]\nThe full text of the Neiman-Marcus Advertisement seems to read:\n"If she can only cook as well as Honeywell can compute."\n"Her souffles are supreme, her meal planning a challenge? She's what the Honeywell people had in mind when they devised our Kitchen Computer. She'll learn to program it with a cross-reference to her favorite recipes by N-M's own Helen Corbitt. Then by simply pushing a few buttons obtain a complete menu organized around the entree. And if she pales at reckoning her lunch tabs, she can program it to balance the family checkbook. 84A 10,600.00 complete with two week programming course. 84B Fed with Corbitt data: the original Helen Corbitt cookbook with over 1,000 recipes $100 (.75) 84C Her Potluck, 375 of our famed Zodiac restaurant's best kept secret recipes 3.95 (.75) Corbitt Epicure 84D Her Labaird Apron, one-size, ours alone by Clairdon House, multi-pastel provencial cotton 26.00 (.90) Trophy Room"\n \nIt would cost 58,000 in today's dollars. \n \n
