The role of the ‘traditional librarian’ is evolving with advent of Google and other online utilities as well as the rapid pace of change in relation to information management, delivery, consumption, curation, and of course the data deluge!
Research Data Management (RDM) is a hot topic which requires a range of information handling skills (organisation, metadata, research support, service delivery, resource discovery).

In order to be reused, research data must be discoverable.
The EPSRC Research Data Expectations* requires research organisations to maintain a data catalogue to record metadata about research data generated by EPSRC-funded research projects.
Universities are increasingly making research data assets available through repositories or other data portals.
The requirement for a UK research data discovery service has grown as universities become more involved in RDM and capacity develops.

Computational Social Science – what is it and what can(‘t) it do?Christian Bokhove
Title: Computational Social Science – what is it and what can(‘t) it do?
What is your talk about?
In Computational Social Science (CSS) we use computer science algorithms to analyse qualitative data at scale. In this talk I define CSS, describe what the opportunities and barriers are in using such methods, and give examples from published research, for example on analysing thousands of Ofsted documents.
What are the key messages of your talk?
The use of CSS methods makes it is possible to analyse some data sources at scale that previously would be unrealistic to analyse ‘by hand’.
What are the implications for practice or research from your talk?
CSS allows both more qualitative and more quantitative researchers to analyse unstructured data sources at scale.
Short Biography
Dr Christian Bokhove is an Associate Professor in Mathematics. In his research, he combines conventional qualitative and quantitative methods with novel computational methods.

Creating a UK-wide network of LIS researchersHazel Hall
Presentation delivered at the Library Research Symposium. McMaster University, Canada, 3 November 2015.
The aim of the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Developing Research Excellence and Methods project, was to develop a formal UK-wide network of Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers (academic and practitioner). The project ran from January 2011 to August 2012, and was supported by the UK Library and Information Science Research Coalition.
The initial successes of the DREaM project were reported in a paper that Hazel Hall co-authored with Alison Brettle and Charles Oppenheim and presented at QQML 2012. Three years later in summer 2015, Hall and her colleague Bruce Ryan conducted further research to explore any lasting impacts of the project.
Those who attended three DREaM research methods workshops in 2011/12 were invited to complete a survey in June 2015. The survey questions focused on LIS work undertaken since the last DREaM workshop in April 2012. Respondents were asked to report on the use of the methods presented at the DREaM workshops; any new DREaM-inspired LIS research and publications, and their impacts; the influence of DREaM on individual career paths; and any on-going contact between those who developed relationships with one another over the course of the three workshops. Further data for the 2015 project – known as DREaM Again - were collected formally from focus groups and more informally through email contact with DREaM workshop participants.
In this presentation the main findings of DREaM Again are discussed.

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.

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.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Editor's Notes
As many of you will know, JISC is the Joint Systems Committee of the UK funding bodies for higher and further education. It has a number of sub-committees which help inform policy and also watch over programmes of funding and the operation of services, such as those provided by the two National Data Centres. It has also set up a company, JISC Collections as a legal body to broker licences.
EDINA may be less familiar, at least to all of you. It is a national academic data centre, established in 1995 following the success of the University of Edinburgh putting forward its Data Library in an open competition to set up three datacentres capable of hosting and providing access to bibliographic datasets and numeric research data. The other two were BIDS, which subsequently moved into the private sector as Ingenta, and MIDAS, the data centre at the University of Manchester - its now renamed as Mimas. The mission of EDINA, which incidentally is the older poetic name for Edinburgh, is to enhance productivity of research, learning and teaching in the UK. It used to host a range of key A&T databaes like BIOSIS ~Previews, Compendex, Inspec, Art Abstracts etc, but now the services on journal …. As you can see, EDINA is a funded by JISC … <click>
This illustrates that in the Sociology of Science how evidence from one decade is re-used in the next – especially since this relates to research awards made in 1984/5. See also the role played by ‘research papers’, even given an ISSN
Digital is a medium, which along with telematics makes different things possible – but why conflate digital media with data? Digital surrogate of an analogue work may be regarded as ‘data’ but only to the extent to which the analogue work was previously thought of having evidential value.
Type A: if its part of the published work then should we look to the preservation agencies, the national deposit libraries and CLOCKSS, LOCKSS and Portico, for access over the longer term? And do publishers see these as costly files to maintain in the short to medium term? Or do publishers want to hand the responsibility to subject and institutional data repositories? Type B: and with knowledge of UKDA, ADS but also the (growing but problematic ??) call for data to be held in institutional repositories, some recommendations on what is the 'right thing' to do, and how that can be done with ease - a Repository Junction task! For Type C, I intend to propose what editors should require by way of citation and URL link. I am on the hunt for such editorial practice.
Focus here on ‘article-length’ work rather than longer working papers or book-length work,nor correspondence, annotation & criticism, nor text books.
