Gareth J Johnson presented on current trends and the future of interlending. He found that patron requests are decreasing while expectations for instant access are increasing. Budget cuts threaten interlending services and staff. Opportunities include promoting electronic document delivery and open access repositories. Challenges include DRM restrictions, copyright rules, and demonstrating the value of interlending through benchmarks and return on investment. The future requires embracing change, collaborating to reduce costs, and advocating for interlending.
Open access pathfinder case study teessideDavid Young
This is the fourth and final case study report from our Pathfinder project. As part of our Jisc-funded Pathfinder we have travelled to HEIs around the country to hold Open Access focus groups, aiming to find out about good practice across five key areas of OA implementation.

This is one of the outputs of our Open Access Good Practice Pathfinder project. It is a case study outlining Hull University's approach to OA drawing on the views of key stakeholders.
Knowledge management processes allow enterprises to improve outcomes and make better decisions faster. It fosters service expansion, and customized service, yet is often considered optional, and either skipped-over or poorly executed. Knowledge management is more than simply creating a knowledge-base and the use of a KM tool—it’s a critical inline process for capturing and leveraging essential assets of an organization. This presentation was given at a workshop that discussed the challenges of implementing knowledge management in service oriented organizations, and how you can successfully get others to support this initiative. You will also learn how a Fortune Global 500 company, exercises KM processes worldwide to generate competitive advantages, and yield profit while improving outcomes.

What ARE we thinking? Collections decisions in an Academic LibraryLinda Galloway
When faced with multiple competing priorities for investment in library resources, there are many important aspects to consider. From student enrollment to prominence of programs, there are both data-driven and intangible factors to weigh. In addition, most library collections now focus on the immediate needs of students and researchers instead of collecting for posterity. This just-in-time versus just-in-case collection development mindset prioritizes different resource attributes and requires an often unfamiliar level of acquisitions flexibility.

eBooks in Health Sciences - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (the 11th Annual Health Sciences Lively Lunch)
Speakers: Nicole Gallo, Rittenhouse Book Distributors, Inc.; John Tagler, Association of American Publishers, Inc.; Deborah Blecic, The Richard J. Daley Library of the University of Illinois at Chicago; Ramune Kubilius, Northwestern University, Galter Health Sciences Library.
This session will address the current landscape and potential future direction of eBooks in the health sciences. From the perspectives of a publisher, an aggregator, and a librarian, the panel and the audience will discuss "the good, the bad, and the ugly" trends and practices facing stakeholders, as book collections become increasingly electronic.
And, as tradition dictates, Ramune Kubilius will also share her annual "Year in Review", summarizing significant developments in the world of health sciences collection development over the last 12 months.
Libraries routinely gather and report data about their budgets, collections, staff, services, and so forth. But libraries need to do a better job of using these data to help them improve their existing services and communicate value to their stakeholders.

This presentation will focus on change management for libraries, and will set the backdrop of changes in the economy, information, technology, and higher education as the impetus for dramatic, transformational change in libraries. Slow, progressive, and risk-adverse change is no longer viable; constant, modular and risk-managed change is called for. Retooling and retraining current staff needs to be emphasized, along with a positive attitude and readiness to assist upper management in providing viable, necessary and important services in the new digital environment to our patrons, university, community, and regional consortia.

A presentation delivered to members of the University Campus Oldham Research Group on library resources for researchers including ZETOC, COPAC and eTHOS.
A technological evolution has occurred among the modern educational institution, with the rise of the Internet making institutional websites the driving force of student interaction and information delivery. For many Administrators and academic institutions however the operational and financial benefits the web offers have made any “debate” over its merit last no longer than a few minutes, let alone a few decades.
A presentation delivered at the ER&L (Electronic Resources and Libraries) conference in Atlanta, March 2008. It looks at the potential of collaborative technologies and practices that could transform the management of electronic resources, particularly e-journals, in libraries today.
Negotiating license agreements with publishers and other vendors can be intimidating. Yet a lack of confidence is your worst enemy when sitting down with a publisher or vendor to negotiate contract terms. Drawing upon fifteen years of work in e-resource negotiation, the session leader will discuss methodologies that drive success, such as setting effective negotiation meeting agendas, developing negotiation strategies, and employing negotiation teams. The session leader will also consider how the judicious use of language and pertinent data can influence the negotiation process.

NITLE Shared Academics: Examining IT and Library Service ConvergenceNITLE
Colleges and universities face a variety of pressures. Two pressure points are adjusting to the evolving landscape of higher education and using finite resources efficiently and effectively. Technology-enhanced “flipped” classrooms, the rise of digital scholarship, and a keener focus on assessment are examples of the former. Space, time, money, and staff expertise are examples of the latter. These pressures become even more pointed at smaller institutions. How have academic library and information technology organizations been contributing toward effective solutions? Some have embraced a path toward greater convergence of IT and library services. Has doing so enabled institutions to adjust sooner and more quickly to shifts in our higher education environment? Has it stimulated innovation? Has it helped eliminate duplicative effort?
NITLE Shared Academics seminar leader Terry Metz delves into these questions, explores why and how the work of technologists and librarians is growing more and more similar, and highlights some colleges that have aligned technology and library talent in more integrated ways. Examine the benefits and challenges of converging IT and library services and consider future implications.

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

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.
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.

22. The Man with the Golden Gun? Threats an opportunity to bring change Can we take more risks if there’s less to lose? Doing nothing or more of the same is not a viable option The golden shot Revisiting tired/redundant workflows or procedures If it isn’t essential why are you still doing it? Advocating what we do whenever, wherever possible Essentially for proving the interlending case Demonstrating ROI, bang for the buck or USP
