The document evaluates the Bermondsey Spa Regeneration project in London through analyzing its masterplan objectives and community participation efforts. Regarding objectives, while environmental improvements were achieved, social housing targets were not fully met and promised local jobs did not materialize. Community participation was mainly one-way communication through newsletters and meetings rather than collaborative dialogue. Different community groups' interests were not adequately incorporated and new developments created barriers between residents. Overall, the regeneration had shortcomings in comprehensively addressing the community's needs and interests through the planning and development process.

What are school libraries: Outdated book centers or vibrant centers of learn...Johan Koren
School libraries have evolved from book centers to vibrant learning centers. Their role has changed from simply supporting classroom instruction to enhancing teaching and learning through collaboration. Standards and guidelines have helped shape the instructional role of the school librarian, moving from a focus on collections to emphasizing curriculum development, teaching, and leadership. Internationally, groups advocate that every school should have a library to support student achievement and 21st century learning.

USC focuses on committees for culture and diversity, hiring practices, training, and research guides on underrepresented topics. Both libraries work to enhance subject headings and update collections.
Diversity Equality Inclusive Initiatives in UCC and USCElaine Harrington
The goal of the International Librarians Networking Program (ILNP) is to assist librarians from around the world to network and expand their skills in librarianship through a cooperative and collaborative program. The program is designed to be self guided, allowing participants to form a collaborative relationship with one another for four months and the opportunity to continue networking after the program ends. The International Librarians Networking Program is part of the American Library Association International Relations Round Table.
The 2021 cohort comprised 62 people from 27 countries selected for pair networking. There had been 270 original applicants from 39 different countries. I was paired with Dr Win Shih, Director of Integrated Library Systems at the University of Southern California. The ILNP final project was to create an academic poster arising from the conversations during the four month period. We completed one on Diversity Equality Inclusion initiatives in UCC & USC.
Library education was initially a technical education that was acquired on the job. Practical work in a library, based on a good education in schools, was the only way to train librarians.
It took quite a long time to introduce library education as a subject and has been taught at different levels in the universities of the world.
School libraries have evolved over time from book centers to vibrant learning hubs. Their role has changed from simply housing books to actively supporting teaching and learning through collaboration. Standards and guidelines have helped shape the instructional role of the school librarian as a leader, teacher, and partner in curriculum development. Recent frameworks emphasize school libraries as learning commons that foster 21st century skills through flexible learning environments and equitable access to information.

Similar to Yale's E-books Go Mobile (Nota Bene, p.4) (20)
This document discusses the future of libraries over the next 50 years. It notes that current trends point to libraries embracing innovation through collaboration, urgency and speed to meet new demands. The future will require libraries to equip users with skills to critically evaluate information, experiment with new technologies, and address challenges through bold research. Key areas that libraries must focus on include access, privacy, education, diversity, service, and social responsibility. The document advocates that libraries adopt approaches like design thinking, asset-based community development, and creating strategic roadmaps to make themselves future-ready over the coming decades.
This document discusses the concept of "dynamic duos" and how they can foster innovation. It defines dynamic duos as pairs of individuals or entities that are energetic, active, and constantly changing and developing. The document examines different types of duos, including service duos where one partner provides expertise to another, collaborative duos where both partners contribute equally, and mentor/mentee relationships. It also discusses how small, close-knit duos can expand into larger networks that facilitate the spread of new ideas on both micro and macro levels. The key point is that duos, when dynamic and connected to broader networks, have the potential to be far more innovative than individuals working alone.

This document summarizes the results of a 2010 survey on mobile services offered by libraries. According to the survey, 44% of academic libraries and 34% of public libraries currently offer some mobile services. The most common services are mobile websites, mobile catalogs, SMS notifications, and SMS reference. While many libraries see mobile as important, they also face challenges like limited budgets, staff time, and skills. The document provides examples of low-cost and collaborative approaches libraries are taking to overcome these challenges and expand their mobile offerings.
Lisa Carlucci Thomas gave a guest lecture on social networking in libraries at Syracuse University on July 29, 2011. She discussed how social media allows mobile workers and communities to stay connected.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Yale Contributes to the World
Digital Library
Yale University Library joined with UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), the Library
of Congress, and approximately 40 international institutions in
Paris in April 2009 to launch the World Digital Library (WDL),
a web site that features unique cultural materials from libraries
and archives around the world. The site, http://www.wdl.org,
aims to provide free, unrestricted public access to manuscripts,
maps, rare books, films, sound recordings, prints, photographs
and other cultural heritage materials in digital format. The part-
nership will grow rapidly in content and with new library partners.
Yale has contributed a number of important works in the
pilot phase, including 22 pencil drawings of the Amistad slave
ship prisoners, ca. 1839–40; William Clark’s 1810 map of North
America; an Arabic calligraphy primer, ca. 1852–53; and one of
three manuscript copies of Ferdinand Magellan’s journal from
his voyage around the world in 1522. As the project expands,
more content will be added from digital collections across the
University, reflecting the international strength of Yale’s holdings.
The launch took place at UNESCO’s headquarters, co-hosted
