1. The document discusses challenges in semantic annotation and summarization including helping users understand semantic annotations, extracting annotations from contexts, and ensuring quality of service for semantics-enabled services.
2. It proposes using one word summaries generated from a knowledge base to help users understand the intended meaning of annotations.
3. Evaluation results show the meaning summarization approach achieves up to 63% precision in determining if two words have the same meaning in a given context.
The Nikola Furnadzhiev District Library in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria implemented a program in 1995-1996 to provide library and information services to people with special needs. [1] The program served seven groups with special needs through both stationary and non-stationary services. [2] The library collaborated with organizations supporting people with special needs and used a wide range of traditional and modern resources. [3]
This document discusses methods for evaluating and enhancing the user experience (UX) of distance library services through evidence-based assessment. It begins by defining distance learning library services and principles of access entitlement. Usage analytics of guides, Google Analytics, and transaction logs provide quantitative evidence of student needs and pain points. Qualitative evidence from transcripts of virtual reference questions help identify areas of confusion. A mixed methods approach is advocated to understand why and where users struggle in order to improve services and transparency of resources. Librarians are encouraged to listen, observe and evaluate their own services to enhance the UX for distance learners.

This document discusses the changing nature of communication and media consumption in the digital age. It argues that we have moved beyond mass communication models to a state of "networked communication" where people are both producers and consumers of media. Participants now play a central role as distributors, innovators, and classifiers of information. When people remix and share content using various tools, the message becomes defined by the people rather than the media itself. Communication is increasingly networked, with people, not media, at the center.

Developing a digital literacy framework in your schoolEduwebinar
Presented by June Wall and hosted by KB Enterprises (Aust) Pty Ltd. Provides information literacy, ICT literacy and critical literacy models and processes for a whole school approach to digital literacy.
Virtual embedding of library resources and services has evolved from physical embedding within institutions to virtual embedding within online environments used by patrons. A review found libraries have embedded resources like reading lists and link resolvers within course management systems and department websites. Services like reference and interlibrary loan have been provided via email, phone and chat. Moving forward, the review suggests embedding more library services directly within electronic medical records, mobile apps, internal networks and databases through tools like buttons and search filters to reach patrons virtually. The future may include librarians embedded using communication tools like Twitter, Facebook and instant messaging to help patrons within their own online spaces.
This document discusses web scale discovery services and information literacy. It begins by providing context about the social, economic, technological, and political factors driving changes in libraries. It then describes perceptions of libraries and information literacy skills students need. Next, it outlines features of next generation discovery services and their potential pros and cons. Specifically, it notes discovery services make access easier but may diminish search skills. The document concludes by questioning if discovery services compete with or support information literacy goals of teaching students to find, evaluate, and use information effectively.
This document discusses ways for academics to maximize their online presence and visibility. It recommends assessing one's current online footprint and digital shadow through regular Google searches and alerts. It suggests improving profiles on sites like Academia.edu, LinkedIn, and one's institution page. The document also recommends making scholarly works openly accessible by self-archiving, using repositories, and publishing in open access journals. Other tips include using social bookmarking sites, academic communities, blogging, and Twitter to connect and communicate with other scholars. The overall goal is to broadly share one's work online to increase citations and scholarly impact.

Trends in reference services show decreased in-person library usage and circulation statistics, with more users relying on search engines and digital resources. This has led libraries to reduce reference desk hours and staffing levels. Virtual reference services have emerged to provide reference assistance online through tools like email, chat, video conferencing and voice over IP. These services allow users to get help remotely through synchronous and asynchronous methods. Popular virtual reference platforms include QuestionPoint, Skype and Google Talk.
Libraries are running two spaces - physical and virtual. The e-Library or library's online presence is not the traditional library website. What new roles and skills are required to run a virtual library?
This document discusses the importance of metadata from a search engine perspective. It outlines how search engines have evolved to make use of metadata over time, from directly extracting metadata to enhance search results, to being able to search metadata directly and provide direct answers to queries. The document also notes that metadata adoption on the web has increased over time, with around 31% of webpages and 5% of domains now containing some metadata, primarily in the form of RDFa. Metadata allows search engines to better understand and organize content to provide more relevant search results.
Presented at the 2010 Electronic Resources & Libraries Conference. Abstract: As emphasis shifts from print to electronic, a library's organizational capacity or ability to manage workloads with sufficient numbers and levels is strained. R2 Consulting comments on the most salient trends and recommendations regarding library operations. University of Colorado Denver Auraria Library provides local examples of reinventing staffing and workflow.
This document discusses options for structuring an organization to effectively manage electronic resources. It suggests that e-resources have become the mainstream activity for technical services but that organizational structures and priorities often do not reflect this reality. The document examines the skills, tools, and workflows needed for e-resources management and considers whether to take a centralized or decentralized organizational approach. It provides recommendations for libraries to recognize e-resources as the priority, expand e-resources staffing levels, and integrate e-resources tasks into mainstream workflows.

1. Embedded librarians in online courses to provide point-of-need research assistance to distant students.
2. Assessed the pilot's success through pre- and post-tests showing a 58% to 94% improvement in students' research abilities.
3. Identified opportunities to strengthen the program, such as establishing assignment deadlines and timely grading to emphasize the importance of information literacy skills development.
The document discusses the challenges of cataloging and metadata today and in the future, including changes in technology, user behavior, and the types of information objects that need to be described. It provides biographical information about Hendro Wicaksono and his experience working in libraries and developing cataloging systems. The document touches on the evolving nature of libraries, catalogs, metadata standards, and the tasks and skills needed for cataloging in the digital age.
Integrating digital traces into a semantic enriched dataDhaval Thakker
The document discusses integrating digital traces from social media into a semantic-enriched data cloud for informal learning. It outlines a processing pipeline that collects digital traces, semantically augments them using ontologies, and allows browsing and interaction through a semantic query service. An exploratory study on job interviews found that authentic examples from digital traces were useful learning stimuli but could be mistaken as norms without context. Semantic technologies provide opportunities to organize digital traces for informal learning but further work is needed to fully realize this potential.
The document discusses web scale discovery tools and their relationship to information literacy. It provides context on the social, economic, technological, and political factors driving adoption of these tools. It then examines perceptions of libraries and describes various commercial and open source discovery services. Desired features of discovery services and early experiences with them are outlined. However, the document notes tensions between a resource-based view of libraries versus an information literacy view. It poses four questions for debate around how well discovery tools support student development of information literacy skills and the need to augment these tools to better deliver on libraries' information literacy mission.

It provides context on the social, economic, technological, and political factors driving adoption of these tools. It then examines perceptions of libraries and describes various commercial and open source discovery services. Desired features of discovery services are outlined. Early reports suggest discovery tools have increased usage of licensed resources but students struggle to interpret results. This raises implications for information literacy support. Challenges around balancing convenience with developing research skills are debated. The document concludes by posing four questions around how discovery tools can support information literacy goals.
An introduction to the background, history, scope, and activities of the NISO Open Discovery Initiative. Part of the "Everyone's a player: Creation of standards in a fast-paced shared world" session.
Presenter: Marshall Breeding
The document discusses the emergence of web-scale library platforms that move away from locally-housed systems towards globally shared platforms. These new library services platforms offer opportunities for libraries to operate less in isolated silos and more within broad, web-scale environments of highly shared data and unified workflows across physical, digital, and electronic collections. Discovery services have led the way towards this web-scale approach, and library management systems are now following a similar path.

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
