Connected Librarians Day (Free) Events - Monday, October 14

As a pre-conference event for the Library 2.013 annual conference starting October 18th, we're hosting a short series of free online sessions this coming Monday. Part of the impetus for this day is also to make sure that there is representation of librarians as part of Connected Educator Month (CEM)--and since I'm on the organizing committee for CEM, I figured I would wave a magic wand and just declare Monday, October 14th, "Connected Librarians Day!" (Hashtag#cld13) Like the full Library 2.013 conference, all of the sessions below are being held online and are free. The times show are US-Eastern Daylight Time. If you need to see them in your own time zone, go to the schedule page at Library 2.013 and find your link by that time zone. Hope you'll join us.  See you online! SCHEDULE: 11:00am US-Eastern Daylight Time "Leading the Charge to Connect the Library, Classroom, and Curriculum: A View from Library Leadership" - Panel Discussion Description: In this dynamic panel discussion, three members of Follett’s Project Connect team will share their views on the future of the library and explore how librarians are central to successful 1:1 implementations and the digital shift. As they seek to develop and engage teacher leadership, innovative districts are empowering librarians to teach students, coach teachers and help lead transformation in 21st century schools. Project Connect brings together leaders from school administration, library and instructional technology fields to provide models of success connected to mobile computing, digital resources and instructional practice. Panelists (see panelist detail here): Mark Ray - 2012 Washington State Teacher of the Year Gail Dickinson - AASL President Susan Ballard - former President of AASL Moderator: Britten Follett Blackboard Collaborate Room Link: https://sas.elluminate.com/d.jnlp?sid=2008350&password=LIB2013Part1  12:00pm US-Eastern Daylight Time "The Library as Makerspace"- Kristin Fontichiaro Description: Defined as groups of creators who come together to design, plan, and create products using both digital and non-digital tools, makerspaces are popping up in library-centered conversations. While makerspaces can include cutting-edge technology, it takes more than 3D printers, computers, and robotics equipment to define them. It is the underlying non-competitive support and collaboration community that truly convert an activity into a makerspace. Ito et al (2013) define “connected learning” as “broadened access to learning that is socially embedded, interest-driven, and oriented toward educational, economic, or political opportunity” (p. 4). Makerspaces in libraries are an avenue to connected learning. Bio: Kristin Fontichiaro is a clinical assistant professor and coordinator of the school library media program at the University of Michigan's School of Information. Blackboard Collaborate Room: https://sas.elluminate.com/d.jnlp?sid=2008350&password=LIB2013Part10  1:00pm US-Eastern Daylight Time "Virtual Library Instruction:Tools and Tips" - Stacy Creel Description: This presentation includes a discussion on a variety of online library instruction tools and methods for use in today's libraries. It includes tips and tools on static (vodcasts and online pathfinders) and interactive online (wikis, quizzes, live classrooms) presentations. It is based on assignments from LIS 590 Library Instruction and LIS 501 Reference for graduate students in the School of Library & Information Science. Examples of final projects will be presented along with student feedback on the tools. Participants can expect small group breakout and discussion. Bio: I teach undergraduate and graduate courses. In every course I seek to incorporate relevant technology, assignments, and student feedback. I created the Library Instruction course at USM SLIS for academic and public librarians. The course includes a focus on face-to-face library instruction, as well as digital instruction, learning styles, methods and more. I am the advisor for the Graduate Certificate in Youth Services and Literature and recieved the Exemplary Online Course Award from USM in 2013. Blackboard Collaborate Room: https://sas.elluminate.com/d.jnlp?sid=2008350&password=LIB2013Part101 "Teaching the Teachers: Integrating Technology into Library Instruction" - Amanda Nichols Hess Description: Librarians everywhere - in schools, in public libraries, in colleges and universities, and in other settings - are increasingly charged with instruction. This might be in K-12 classes, or in workshops, or in one-shot instructional sessions for a college course. As they are asked to teach more, librarians are simultaneously tasked with bringing technology into their instructional practices. However... are librarians adequately prepared and equipped to do this? Moreover, do they feel prepared and equipped to do so meaningfully?This presentation will consider how, in one academic library, librarians worked together to be prepared and equipped to use technology and to do so meaningfully and purposefully for their campus. Although the setting may be specific (an academic library), the issues encountered through the course of this program are nearly universal to libraries and librarians: lack of formal knowledge or training, too little time or too few resources to properly equip and train librarians, inability to perceive immediate (or near-immediate) usefulness. Now in its second year of a coordinated instructional technology integration program, this presentation will share how this library assessed its librarians’ instructional technology needs, scaffolded and structured knowledge-building, and continuously evaluated the effectiveness of the program. Tips will be identified and shared for designing the process, implementing a training/learning program, and evaluating its effects on librarians. Learn how this type of effort made using technology in instruction more manageable, maintainable, and meaningful for librarians, and and leave this session with concrete ideas on how such a program could be designed and implemented in your library! Bio: Amanda Nichols Hess is Assistant Professor and eLearning/Instructional Technology Librarian at Oakland University in Rochester, MI. She earned her MSI from the University of Michigan, and previously worked as a school library media specialist and K-12 technology integration specialist. Amanda has been published in School Library Monthly and has work forthcoming in both Library Youth Outreach and the Journal of Library and Information Services in Distance Learning. Blackboard Collaborate Room: https://sas.elluminate.com/d.jnlp?sid=2008350&password=LIB2013Part100  2:00pm US-Eastern Daylight Time "[Re]Envisioning the Role of Librarian as Educator in the Digital Information Age" - John Shank Description: This session will focus on how blended librarianship provides a vision for how librarians can be at the intersection of the learning and knowledge becoming a learning hub for their campus. Learn how In the digital information age, the blended librarian becomes a leader, who acts as the mediator and guide, to accessing and making sense of the ever expanding universe of information in all the forms that it takes.

National Conference on Opening up by Closing the Circle: Strengthening Open Access in India

           

OPEN ACCESS WEEK 2013 

National Conference

 on

Opening up by Closing the Circle:

Strengthening Open Access in India

UNESCO, in partnership with Central Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU),  and the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) is organizing a national conference on 'Opening up by Closing the Circle: Strengthening Open Access in India' on 21 October 2013 to mark the international Open Access Week.

The first international Open Access for Research Week was celebrated on 19–23 October 2009. Hundreds of leading academic and research sites in over 30 countries marked the week in unique ways, and expressed their support for the advancement of knowledge through free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research.

Ever since, Open Access Week has been observed internationally to help raise awareness of the potential benefits of Open Access (OA) for research, and to celebrate milestones in making OA a norm in the conduct of science and scholarship.

The one-day conference will focus on the need to create an enabling environment for OA in India, to promote and upscale existing OA initiatives, and to encourage the development of new OA programmes. This can be done by'closing the circle' or linking multiple stakeholder groups, namely researchers, librarians, archivists, publishers, technologists, and policymakers, taking into account their concerns and views and providing a platform for them to advocate for a common cause. The conference will provide a unique opportunity to stakeholders to pool their insights, identify and discuss key OA-related issues in the country, and create a roadmap for strengthening OA in India.

The specific objectives of the national conference are to:

• Build awareness among the stakeholder groups and student community about the importance of OA to scientific research
• Facilitate the exchange of experiences, knowledge and best practices of various institutions in the OA space
• Contribute towards the creation of an advocacy group that will promote OA at institutional and national levels
• Analyze current trends and pitfalls with regard to the OA landscape in India
• Develop policy recommendations for the creation of a national mandate to promote OA
• Promote partnerships and collaborations among interested stakeholders

Venue:

JNU Convention Centre
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)
New Mehrauli Road
New Delhi 110067

The conference is open to all Library and Information Science professionals. The academicians/researchers interested in open access may also attend. There is no registration fee. Registration is restricted to only 100 participants on "first-cum-first serve basis". Registration can be sent by email at unescojnu@gmail.com with following information:
