The document discusses how cloud computing enables mobile library technologies and services. It defines cloud computing and explains how software, products, and data can reside in the cloud. Examples are given of library services, products, and data that are being accessed remotely through cloud-based platforms. Challenges of cloud computing like loss of local control and data security are addressed, but benefits like increased access and lower costs are also outlined. The cloud allows the library to become a platform for sharing content and data between librarians and patrons on their mobile devices.
Automation of document scanning, document type separation, metadata extraction, indexing, and finally release of scanned document with extracted metadata into AxonShare (Collaborative Content Management) repository. This way the scanned document is stored and managed in a central content repository and Searchable on Metadata applied.It could be used to automate the document-centric business processes such as Invoice/Applications/Contracts capture, processing, indexing, storage and management through a collaborative content management.
Includes the definition of Digital Library, it's history, advantages and disadvantages, major issues and challenges, example of digital libraries and digital library software.

Supporting Research through "Desktop as a Service" models of e-infrastructure...David Wallom
Keynote presentation given 13/9/16 @ ESA Earth Observation Open Science workshop 2016.
"The rise in cloud computing as an e-infrastructure model is one that has the power to democratise access to computational and data resources throughout the research communities. We have seen the difference that Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) has made for different communities and are now only beginning to understand what different models further up the stack can make. It is also becoming clear that with the increase in research data volumes, the number of sources and the possibility of utilising data from different regulatory regimes that a different model of how analysis is performed on the data is possible. Utilising a "Desktop as a Service" model, with community focused applications installed on a common and well understood virtual system image that is directly connected to community relevant data allows the researcher to no longer have to consider moving data but only the final analysed results. This massively simplifies both the user model and the data and resource owner model. We will consider the specific example of the Environmental Ecomics Synthesis Cloud and how it could easily be generalised to other areas."

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.
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
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.

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.

Plenary Session1: Mobile Technology In Libraries
March 12, 2012
1
18th Annual Conference of the Special Libraries Association, Arabian Gulf Chapter
3. Agenda
• Cloud computing in libraries defined
• Mobile libraries: on the move & in the cloud
– Services in the cloud
– Products in the cloud
• The mobile, social cloud
– Platform for sharing content
– Platform for sharing data
• Challenges in the cloud
• Conclusions
3
4. Defining cloud computing
“„Cloud computing‟ is a phrase that is being used
today to describe the act of storing, accessing,
and sharing data, applications, and computing
power in cyberspace” (Anderson & Rainie, 2010).
The cloud computing paradigm is increasingly
interesting when we start thinking about mobile
technology and libraries…
4
5. Cloud computing and
mobile devices
Internet
“„Cloud‟ is a metaphor for the
5
internet” (Anderson & Rainie, 2010).
6. Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Any software (web-based application, file creation and storage service,
social software, etc.) accessed via the internet
– All of the computers (and staff) hosting, maintaining, and making available the service
are “elsewhere”
– For more information, see the NIST Definition of Cloud Computing
• One of three service models for computing in the cloud as identified by
the NIST
– The other two are Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
– All three are used in libraries, but PaaS and Iaas require programming knowledge
– Some others talk about Data as a Service and IT as a Service, too
• The easiest aspect of cloud computing to understand and implement in
libraries
– No programming knowledge required
– Simple account creation with SaaS provider
• Has come to be equated with “cloud computing” in its own right
6
7. SaaS and some library services
in the cloud
Library services = reference services, reader’s advisory
services, information literacy instruction services, etc.
• Web conferencing software
• Skype, Google Voice, Google+ Hangouts
• Web publishing
• WordPress, Google Sites
• Marketing, branding, web-based communication
• Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, mobile social apps
• Yahoo! Mail, Gmail
• Document sharing in libraries
• DropBox, Google Docs, Evernote, Sugar Sync
7
8. Some library products in the cloud
The cloud enables more than just applications…
• Ebooks as cloud-based products
– Overdrive
• Allows patron downloads onto mobile devices
– E-readers, tablets, smartphones, etc.
• Does not call itself “cloud-based” since there is no synchronization between devices
after the initial download
– 3M
• Also allows patron downloads onto mobile devices
– Creating its own e-reader for libraries to purchase and make available
• Does call itself “cloud-based” since there can be synchronization between devices
after the initial ebook download
– Google Books
• Allows user downloads onto Android-powered devices, MyLibrary application
• Seamless integration with Google Scholar
• Does not sync reading across devices
– HathiTrust
• Allows user downloads of public domain ebooks
• Seamless integration into a library’s discovery layer
8
9. Accessing library data silos from the
cloud
• Integrated Library System (ILS) or
Library Management System (LMS)
(MARC-based) library data
– Vendors increasingly prefer hosting to
local installations
– Examples: Koha in the Cloud, OCLC WMS
• Repository library data
– Institutional archives /local content
hosted in the cloud; Institutional
repositories
– Example: bepress DigitalCommons
• Discovery systems
– Reindex library data for a more powerful
searching experience
– Provide access to the above silos, the
ebook silos, and to journal database silos
– Examples: Ebsco Discovery Service, Ex
Libris Primo Central

10. The mobile social cloud
• Cloud content can be accessed on a multitude of
internet-connected devices, including mobile
ones
– Some of the power of this paradigm comes from the
mobility of the user’s devices
– Some of power comes from what libraries can do with
big data accessible over the internet
• Harnessing the power of platforms
– Successful Web 2.0 sites are all *platforms*
• Facebook, MySpace, blogs, Twitter, etc.
• Platforms allow for personalization, sharing and mashing up
of data, and /or creation of content
10
11. Library as platform for sharing mobile
content
Between librarians and patrons, patrons and
patrons, and librarians and librarians, content
can be shared to and from mobile devices via
the cloud
• Recommendations, comments, etc.
– Bibliocommons discovery layer allows patrons to
share their thoughts on library materials
• Publicizing, making accessible
– Blogs, Facebook updates , YouTube videos can
inform users in general of services and upcoming
events in the library
• Making connections DBRL Bibliocommons app
http://www.dbrl.org/catalog/
– Twitter, Facebook, and others help librarians mobile-apps
connect one-on-one with patrons and even with
other librarians
11
12. Library as platform for sharing data
When big data (library content at web-scale) can be exploited
and repurposed via the cloud, new services become possible…
• Recommender systems (more like this)
– Bibliocommons (books)
– bibEx from ExLibris (journal article recommender system)
New services can also be born of current content
• Mashups
– A series of mash-ups from the WorldCat API are available
(Coombs, 2011) including ones to
• Find libraries (CampusBooks, Red Laser, Pic2Shop) *
• Format references (Cite This)
• Enhance access (LibX toolbar integration)
*Particularly well-suited to use on mobile devices 12
13. New vendor-based library services
• StackMap
– Allows patrons to view locations
in the library on their mobile
devices
• Third Iron
– Browzine’s iPad app allows users
to browse current journal
articles and download, save, and
share them
13
14. Pros and cons of moving to the cloud
• Drawbacks
– Loss of local control
– Concerns over privacy and security of data
– Questions of ownership
• What formats can data be retrieved in?
• Who owns enhancements to data while it was stored with the
cloud vendor?
• Benefits
– Less staff time spent doing IT work, more can be spent
supporting library’s mission
– Can ultimately be more accessible and cheaper
– Potential to turn the library into a platform
14
15. Conclusion
• Now is the time to look to the cloud for
mobile solutions in libraries
• Care and thought still need to be given to any
strategic IT move:
– Detailed examination of contracts (SLAs)
– Careful discussions about desired end-results
– Strategic and future-minded alignment with
institutional goals
