Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) is a consortium of Ontario’s 21 university libraries in Canada. Scholars Portal (SP) is an OCUL sponsored digital repository of over 40,000,000 full text scholarly articles drawn from 18,000 journals covering every academic discipline. Scholars Portal export its holdings to knowledgebase in SFX, 360 Link, Ebsco, and Keeper’s Registry. Scholars Portal maintains a central SFX instance for member libraries for their content subscribed via OCUL. University of Windsor library is an OCUL member library who uses SFX as OpenURL link resolver for their OCUL and local subscription content. This study will examine the work flow, the problems encountered in maintaining central and local SFX instance, and discuss the advantages and challenges of providing and maintaining access to electronic serials in consortium and member library.

Islandora Webinar: Highlighting CUHK Chinese Digital CollectionsErin Tripp
The webinar will feature a presentation and Q&A session with Jeff Liu, Digital Services Librarian and Louisa Lam, Head, Research Support and Digital Initiatives at the CUHK Library.
The CUHK Library has curated a collection of over five million digital objects in the past 20 years. It features Chinese literature, culture, arts, politics, society and religion. Until recently, the collection was stored in a broad range of different systems, complicating the discovery of these precious digital assets.
In 2015, librarians at CUHK embarked on a project to find a permanent, single platform for digital content. Objectives of the project included enhanced discoverability, multi-language support (Chinese, Japanese & Korean) and custom development capability to modify display and viewing features that would showcase Chinese literature in its true form.
Islandora met all the functional requirements and more, including support for digital humanities projects and access to a user-driven open source software community.
The CUHK library was also attracted to the vendor services and support available through discoverygarden. We provided advice, support and custom development assistance; contributing to the launch of the digital repository every step of the way.
The repository (http://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk) officially launched in February 2016, making the CUHK Library digital initiatives pioneers in Hong Kong.
Two Technical Services librarians from Sam Houston State University provide an initial explanation of the many iterations of PDA, and then share their experiences, frustrations, and lessons learned as well as contemplate the future of this acquisition model in academic libraries.

This paper develops the argument that students need opportunities to become designers or co-designers of their own processes of inquiry. With reference to current research and issues in design for learning and Web 2.0, it suggests that there may be value in developing new digital tools to enable students to take the lead in designing inquiry processes and in using design representations as resources for reflection and sharing with other students. Participants will have an opportunity to exchange perspectives and ideas on design for inquiry-based learning, and to respond to the view put forward in the paper.

Using Enquiry Based Learning to Create a Blended Academic Skills Development ...cilass.slideshare
For a number of years Academic Skills modules had been delivered to campus-based students in a blended mode. However the designs had not been able to fully engage students in a module that was seen as of little or no relevance to their academic or future careers. Inquiry based learning was used as the basis for a redesign of one such module allowing for the inclusion of authentic and group-based activities. The poster will outline the design, delivery and evaluation of a module and how undergraduate students have been brought to an awareness of the importance of independent learning skills and their value in HE and beyond.

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.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Hello, my name is Sadie Williams. Thanks for having me today. I’m going to be quick so we have time to get into some of the details of Norwich and VIVA workflows. I’d like to start by giving a quick over view of EBL and our what you might call love affair, with demand driven acquisition. Specifically I’m going to talk about pointsthat touch aspects of the rest of our group presentation.EBL was founded in 2004 and starting with our launch we built our platform at the same time we developed our DDA model This model included short-term loans, flexible number of short-term loans before purchase, full text download and much of the functionality you see across ebook aggregators for DDA. The fundamentals of our model has not changed, but over time we’ve added quite a bit of workflow support some of which I will talk to you about today.In 2005 our first DDA program went live at Swinburne university of Technology in Australia. If you are interested in hearing their extensive experience with DDA and ebooks – a history with DDAmuch longer than we’ve seen in the US and a window into the future of DDA here in N. America, Tony Davies will be presenting the Swinburne experience on Friday. Jump 5 years later, and we launched our first shared-access consortia model with Orbis cascade which led to the development of the program with VIVA. Additionally Orbis Cascade was the first customer to go live with the OCLC workflow we are discussing today.Just recently, we were acquired by proquest and have begun work with ebrary on the development of a new platform that will build on the history of EBL and ebrary.
I’m not here to talk about the platform integration, but I do want to quickly mention that as we bring the two platforms together you’ll see the power ofebrary content paired with flexible DDA tools, access models and consortia support of EBL. If you are curious about more information on the integration there is an interview with our VP of product development that discusses where we are and next steps.
Anne is going to be speaking to you about the VIVA experience. We have 30 programs that are live in N. America and no consortial program is quite the same. We have multiple models - I’ve listed a few here. I’m not going to go into detail on any of these models but I just want to point out that our approach is to offer choice of a model that suits the consortium need. We also offer consortium-level and library level reporting and significant workflow support.
Because EBL has had such a long history with DDA and our platform has been developed for DDA from the start we have smart workflow support for DDA. This slide shows some of the unique features we offer for DDA supportI’m going to briefly review the two features the rest of our panel will be discussing today.1.) Our profiling and auto-weeding feature2.) the setting and removing of automatic holdings.
EBL offers a comprehensive profiling system to support DDA. You can create a profile based on subject, publisher, pub date price as well as build a keyword rule into your profile. These filters can interact to create a detailed profile and sub profiles.The profile can generate records to add to your profile on a regular basis (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly). Records are added to your opac or discovery layer and as they are used you build spend. As you add more and more records over time, the rate at which you spend increases because more records = more use = more spendOver time you need to consider how you will control your spending so that it is the same or grows minimally year over year. How do libraries go about controlling spending?
There are a number of options for controlling spending, but removing non-owned records over time is a natural way to control.Many libraries now do this manually. But rather than schedule a manual process to remove old records each year by reviewing usage reports, identifying the records and running a batch process to remove records, we’ve devised a smarter way of weeding that helps you automatically identify which records to remove.Records can be removed based on how old they are in combination with the profile features such as subject and non-subject parameters. For example, maybe you want to remove computer science titles after 2 years that haven’t been used but you want to retain literature titles because they are more likely to get used much later.
The problem with removing records is that you want to retain those that have been used in some way. If a patron has come to your catalog and viewed a record, they may want to come back to that record. So you need to knowHas the record been viewed by the patron?Has therecord had a short-term loan?In the profiling system you have the opportunity to specify this, and again, can specify based on subject and other profiling features. You could specify that you want to remove records that haven’t had a short term loan for longer than 4 years or haven’t been browsed (use within 5 minutes) for 2 years. You can tailor this to your specific profile needs.
The second feature I’d like to discuss is the auto setting and removing of holdings. We first started this process with OCLC. Essentially, rather than load cataloging records into your ILS, we send your holding feed based on your DDA profile directly to OCLC. Sara will be discussing this in detail.I would like to mention that we now offer this service with both Summon and ExLibris although the functionality is different from system to system.
