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.

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.
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
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.
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.

7. The Future from the Past
Monorail, Incorporated built a short test
track of their suspended system at
Arrowhead Park in Houston, Texas. Each
bogie was powered by a 310-horsepower
Packard automobile engine. The driver
was seated high above the passenger
carriage on one of the two bogies. After
eight months of testing, the track was
dismantled and rebuilt at the Texas State
fairgrounds where it ran for many years. Its
promoters claimed it could reach speeds of
160 km but no Skyway transit installations
were ever built.
The future was exciting in 1956!

18. Has the Future Arrived?
Monorail
Please note that the
monorails listed in these
pages are MULTI-STATION
systems. We do not include
the dozens of recreation or
view-giving minirails
here. Our efforts are
primarily geared towards
proving monorail's ability
to carry people from point
to point as TRANSIT.
18
19. Has the Future Arrived?
Predictions & expectations from the past:
• Have arrived
• Sometimes have exceed expectations
• Often fail to become widely embedded
Can we learn from past expectations of the future?
Note importance of evidence:
“Our efforts are primarily geared towards proving
monorail's ability to carry people from point to
point as TRANSIT”

20. Rich Opportunities
Web 2.0
provided
many
opportunities
to support
teaching &
learning and
research
activities

22. The Mid 2000s
Even the Daily Telegraph
in 2006 gave a (qualified)
conclusion of “Good” to
Labour Government‟s
investment in education

24. Time of Growth
1990s & early 2000s saw:
• Increased funding across
education sector
• Significant developments
in IT sector
• Willingness by senior
managers & funding
bodies to invest in
innovative IT
developments (e.g. JISC
development
programmes)

25. Time of Growth is Over
Late 2000s and beyond:
• Decreased funding across
education & public sector
• Acknowledgements that
innovation can provide
growth and cost savings
• Significant developments
continue in IT sector
• Investment in innovative IT
developments need to be
based on evidence of
benefits & likleyhood of
success “You want how much? And no

26. Innovation
Invention: Creating something new
Innovation: Using something new
Improvement: Using something that exists
in a better way
26
27. The Context
In the future mobiles will be smaller & faster;
Data will be Big and content and services will be
open. Lots of opportunities for librarians
27
28. JISC Observatory
JISC Observatory:
• JISC-funded initiative
• Systematises processes for anticipating and
responding to projected future trends & scenarios
• Provided by JISC Innovation Support Centres at
UKOLN and CETIS
• See <http://blog.observatory.jisc.ac.uk/>

encounter in our daily
monitoring activities
• Interviews:
Short interviews with
developers, practitioners,
… who share their
thoughts on how
developments may affect
their working practices
30
31. Scanning Activities
• Blog posts:
Posts published on JISC Observatory
blog and on existing blogs.
• Monitoring trends:
Monitoring trends in order to:
Benchmark current usage patterns
Identify trends
Identify emerging patterns of usage
Google searches for “learning analytics”
took off in 2010.
Possible indicator of relevance across
sector & need for further investigation.

34. Sense-making
Need to:
• Understand limitations of evidence-gathering
techniques (including documenting „paradata‟ so
survey findings are reproducible & can be critiqued)
• Provide suggestions of implications of developments
for the sector
In addition need to encourage feedback on:
• Evidence-gathering techniques
• Interpretation of findings
Make sense of my
• Implications of developments talk in realtime: tweet if
you agree, but
In order to inform:
especially if you don‟t!
• Further investigation
34 • Policy-making, planning and funding
37. Significant Trends: Mobile
Opera
We now know of the importance of Mobile: but
did we say the same when WAP came along?
37
38. Significant Trends: Social Media
There were “more than 150 million Tweets about the
Olympics over the past 16 days”. [Twitter blog]
38
39. Significant Trends: Social Media
Survey in Aug 2012 of institutional use of Twitter across
24 Russell Group universities found >320K followers
39
40. Significant Trends: Social Media
Survey in Aug 2012 of institutional use of Facebook across the
24 Russell Group universities found >1M „Likes‟ followers
40
41. Behind The Facebook Page
Trends in Fb „Likes‟ for Russell
group Unis since Jan 2011 show
steady increase
But note increase in Jul 2012 due
to addition of 4 new universities!
Jan 11 Sep 11 May 12 Jul 12
But might trends hide a more
complex story:
• Usage & growth dominated
by one significant player.
• More modest usage
generally
41
42. Need for Paradata and Discussion
Surveys carried out to monitor usage & trends for:
• Institutional use of social media
• Use of researcher profiling services (e.g. Google
Scholar, Academia.edu, …) across institutions
Observations (and feedback):
• Differing results found if quotes used
• Possible inclusion of wrong Unis (e.g. Newcastle
University, Australia)
• Personalised results depending on client environment
Need to provide paradata and encourage feedback
42 on processes and intrepretation of findings
43. Paradata Example
Dates of survey
An example of paradata for a blog post on use
of Blekko for an SEO analysis of Russell
Group Universities
Summary of unexpected findings Limitations of survey methodology
People in host institution can
provide contextual knowledge if
open approaches used
43
44. Sense-Making: Social Media
Social media:
• Is about nodes and connections
• Numbers do matter for effective
engagement and disseminations
• Experiences from other areas:
Nos. of mobile phones
Importance of email
“All bugs are shallow to many eyes”
Implications:
• Importance of best practices for popular & well-
used channels
• Difficulties for new entrants e.g. Diaspora (open
alternative to Facebook) and identi.ca and app.net
44 (new open alternative to Twitter)
45. Open Data
“Is London 2012 a
haven for open
data?”
Conclusions:
• “Not this time”
• “But it is the first
data Olympics”
• “It's hard to see that
by [Rio] 2016 this
won't emerge as
data we can all
use”
45
46. Open Data
“Manchester City to
open the archive on
player data and
statistics”
Example of:
• Public interest in
open data
• Interest from
commercial sector
46
47. Use of Open Data in Libraries
Trends in reusing Library usage data,
e.g. JISC‟s Library Impact Data Project
Average number of books borrowed and e-resource Image & data provided by
Dave Pattern under a CC
logins for ~33,000 students in final year of studies BY-NC-SA licence
47
48. Innovating or Improving?
How should we enhance the visibility of
research papers?
• Search tools “better than Google”
• Richer metadata?
• Exploit potential of Linked Data?
Or
• Make more effective use of existing
infrastructure?
48
49. Evidence of IR Usage
Evidence suggests:
• 50-80% of traffic arrives via Google
• Some traffic may not be recorded (direct links to PDFs)

Importance of externally-
hosted blog platforms!
Importance of blog
49 platforms, Wikipedia & media
50. Implications
Implications of findings:
• Innovation is important
But:
• We shouldn‟t ignore potential
of implementing best practices
on existing systems
Remember:
• Today‟s mainstream service
was yesterday‟s innovation
• No guarantee that best
practices for innovative
systems will be implemented

54. Challenge For Librarians
In time of uncertainties:
• Take an evidence-based
approach to
understanding the future
• Understand the changed
environment
• Engage with opportunities
in areas of growth and
institutional importance
• Be open and encourage
discussion on analysis &
interpretation of findings
54
56. Exploiting Opportunities: Data
Opportunities for Librarians in engaging with research

57. Warning From The Past
Gopher
Tim Berners-Lee
didn‟t accept the
evidence of the
popularity of Gopher!
57
58. Serenity prayer
Serenity prayer:
God, grant me the
serenity to accept
the things I cannot
change,
Courage to change
the things I can,
And wisdom to know
the difference.
58
59. Conclusions
The Data will be Big, but our users will continue to use
Facebook and Twitter
But research data will grow in importance as will use of
mobiles.
According to the evidence the future isn‟t quite what I
expected. But it has helped to identify our business
strategies.
