WorldCat Local Lists is a tool that helps faculty connect students to library resources through course-specific lists. It allows faculty to centralize required readings and other course materials. Students can use the lists to find resources for assignments and create lists of their own potential sources. The lists provide direct access to online resources and interlibrary loan requests. Faculty report that the lists make it easier to direct students to materials and collect sources from different databases in one place. The tool is being tested in the spring 2012 semester and some faculty are having students create lists of potential research sources.

E-books for the Classroom & Open Access Textbooks: Two ways to help students ...NASIG
In order to help students withstand the rising cost of textbooks, and in turn support the mission of student success, the University of South Florida has implemented two electronic resource based initiatives as part of the Tampa Library’s Textbook Affordability Project.
Through the E-books for the Classroom program, the Library purchases electronic versions of texts required for coursework, providing equitable access to needed materials at no cost to the students. For the past five years, this program has evolved into a highly successful Textbook Affordability measure, acquiring hundreds of e-books and serving thousands of students, as well as becoming an integral part of the e-book acquisition process.
The Library, with the support of the Office of the Provost and in collaboration with other departments across the University, is publishing a faculty-authored multimedia Open Access Textbook to be used by hundreds of students each semester in USF’s children’s literature courses. The USF institutional repository, Scholar Commons, will host the textbook, making it freely available on a global scale. This program effectively uses library expertise and skills, coordinating university-wide faculty, professional, and technical resources, to create library-as-publisher for the benefit of the students and textbook affordability.
This presentation will include a review of the need for these types of Library based initiatives, the processes involved in establishing and maintaining them, and a discussion of their challenges and successes along with plans for future improvements.

Open to Opportunity: Possibilities for libraries in open education Sarah Cohen
Libraries around the country, and the world, are increasingly devoting time and resources to open education. But why? In what way are libraries part of this movement and how does it serve our missions and services? This presentation will describe the value that libraries’ engagement in this space can offer to our institutions, our students, and our profession; and, to outline possible ways forward for libraries that are interested in committing their limited resources to this transformative effort.
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.
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.
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.

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.

6. Top 5 Ways to Use Lists
• Link from syllabi and Blackboard
• For particular assignments, courses, students
• Have students create and share lists with you
of possible sources they could use for research
papers/projects
• For collaborating with colleagues on research
for a course or other professional project
• To bookmark resources for future use
7. Why Use Lists?
• Provide students with direct access to online
resources from library databases
• Provide students with direct access to placing
I-Share and ILL requests
• Allow you to assign “notes” to each resource
• Easy to manage content (delete, edit) without
updating syllabi
• Easy to share with students and colleagues
8. How to Create Lists
1. Create free account through WorldCat.org
2. Create list for particular course, assignment,
student, subject or project
(save as “public” list to share with others)
3. Search for course materials and add to list
4. Click on “Share”, copy URL and post in
Blackboard and syllabus
12. Promoting to Faculty
• Library Open House for Faculty
• Library Blog for Faculty
• Library Workshops for Faculty (30 minutes)
• E-mails to Faculty
• Word of Mouth
13. Questions from Faculty
• Can you link directly to electronic reserves?
• Does this replace reserves?
• How can you link to websites or web pages?
14. How are faculty using it?
• Testing Spring 2012 semester
• Assigning students to create lists of potential
resources for research assignments
• Professional and personal research
• Share required course readings
15. Appeal of Using the Lists
• “The convenience for students to create a
centralized location for their research projects”
• “It was easy for me to direct students to reading,
and it was easier for me to collect sources from
different databases in one place. Even if I were
using just one database, I thought it was easier to
use the lists than a similar function in the
databases. It seems more stable.”
16. Potential Disadvantages
• Does not include content from all library
databases
• Students may avoid using databases for their
research that are not linked to the lists
• Lists must be public in order to share them
