The University of Glasgow Library developed a strategy to deliver mobile services over multiple phases.
Phase 1 involved developing a mobile catalogue, implementing QR codes, testing instant messaging and e-books, and conducting user surveys. Based on survey findings that most use mobile internet for email, social media and browsing, the top requested services were searching articles, checking out books and reading e-books.
Phase 2 will focus on improving the mobile website, expanding access to e-resources beyond e-books, using QR codes in physical locations, teaching digital skills, and utilizing mobile devices to improve workflows. The strategy is being implemented and promoted in phases based on user research.
The document summarizes several ongoing reviews that will impact post-16 education in Scotland. Key points include:
1) Reviews cover college governance, ICT infrastructure, and the role of colleges. Recommendations include regionalization and shared services.
2) Budget cuts of 7-23% are expected over the next few years for colleges. Capital funding is also being cut significantly.
3) The "Putting Learners at the Centre" review proposes a more interconnected, sustainable, and learner-centered post-16 system focused on employment.
4) Colleges will receive regional funding to enhance regional provision and outcomes. Courses must focus on recognized qualifications and job skills. Funding models will
The document summarizes the work of SLIC (Scottish Library and Information Council) in supporting further education (FE) libraries in Scotland. It discusses SLIC's annual FE library survey which benchmarks resources, technology, and staffing. The survey found that most colleges cite JISC ebooks as their most used online resource and are making good use of technology like QR codes. It also notes future challenges for FE libraries like reduced budgets, restructured services, and changing user expectations. SLIC helps FE libraries respond by promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, workforce development, and digital initiatives to support quality library services across Scotland.
The document summarizes the SCURL Walk-In Access to E-resources Project which investigated technical and operational solutions to enable higher education institutions to provide access to electronic resources for external and walk-in users where licenses permit. The project aimed to deliver a toolkit identifying good practices and built on outcomes of previous UK projects. It discusses various approaches taken by member institutions to provide access within the terms of licenses, including the use of Shibboleth, EZProxy, dedicated computers and IP ranges.
The British Library is facing significant budget cuts while still aiming to fulfill its mission of enabling access and supporting research. This has required developing new digitization and funding models, moving from selective "boutique" digitization to larger-scale "mass digitization" projects pursued through public/private partnerships. Examples discussed include newspaper digitization through a partnership with Brightsolid and book digitization through agreements with Microsoft and Google. While innovative approaches are needed, traditional efficiency improvements also remain important to make progress despite budget challenges.
The document summarizes research from two surveys on students' use of mobile technologies and attitudes toward using library services on their phones. It finds that most students own smartphones and browse the web daily, with Apple and Samsung being the most popular brands. While over 90% of students would like to access library services on their phones, about a third said data limits restrict their mobile web use. The document concludes that libraries need to design accessible services for a variety of mobile devices and operating systems while keeping pace with the rapid changes in mobile technology.
The document discusses the University of Glasgow's experiments with demand-driven acquisition (DDA) models for ebooks. It implemented a small patron-driven acquisition trial through an ebook aggregator, spending a limited amount on about 1500 ebook titles over 4 months. Usage was high, with 10% of titles receiving 10 or more access and the average cost per used title being ยฃ55.96. Only 10% of titles saw no repeat use after initial purchase. The university is considering further DDA trials and evaluating different models to help build its ebook collection in a responsible way while supporting user needs.
The document outlines three deliverables for a project: 1) Install a prototype digital research space, 2) Design and build user interfaces and workstation arrays demonstrating a vision for multimedia digital research, 3) Evaluate user experiences in the technology-rich environment. It then summarizes findings from evaluating the prototype space, including that researchers want advanced search functionality and better organization of research papers, and that Wi-Fi access and using their own devices were important to users. The recommendation is to focus on greater remote access to resources, advanced search and reference tools, and training to facilitate their use while acknowledging a role in the full digital research process beyond content provision.
This document discusses patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) of ebooks. PDA allows libraries to offer users access to a wide range of ebook content while only paying for titles that see meaningful usage. The key benefits are improved access and discovery of content for users, while helping libraries better target collection expenditures. Libraries must carefully consider the financial implications of PDA and implement mediation strategies to control costs over time as demand for ebooks grows. User behavior and needs, along with metadata quality, influence the success of PDA programs.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
