Disciplines - subject specific services from the Higher Education Academy
For many individuals working in higher education, it is the subject level where most networking and exchange takes place. That is why support at the subject level remains at the heart of our work.
We continue to develop and deliver the subject-specific services that are most valued by the sector, including: workshops and seminars, teaching development grants, journals, support and guidance for staff new to teaching, resources and networking opportunities.

Extreme Speed Booking:Using Technology to help kids love reading
The idea behind the site is to introduce students to a variety of books and form classroom book groups. How does Extreme Speed Booking work? A whole lot like speed dating. Students spend a little time with each book and then rate them accordingly with “I want to read more”, “Interesting”, “Not for me”, or “I’ve already read”. Students can also make a note of how interested they are in reading the book (maybe a 1-10 scale)? This process introduces students to a variety of books, genres and authors. Students may come across titles and authors they wouldn’t otherwise find. It also helps teachers form classroom book groups that are of high-interest and investment to students because they had input. iLearn Technology

SCIS | Teacher librarians as cultural change agents
"Teacher librarians are involved in the process of change whether they are implementing a program for the first time, making changes to an established program, or participating in some aspect of ongoing school improvement" (Oberg, 1990). The very essence of the work of teacher librarians – improving teaching and learning – requires that they work within the culture of the school and that they also work to change the culture of the school.

EXAGONO BIBLIOTECARIO
El siglo XVII marca el inicio de la era del catálogo como lista de localización. Este es un cambio muy importante, pero los catálogos presentan aún numerosos problemas como instrumentos de recuperación, debido a la ausencia de principios generalmente aceptados para su compilación. Es en el siglo XIX cuando comienzan a buscarse enfoques más sistemáticos en la compilación de catálogos, y también empieza a plantearse de manera explícita la discusión sobre cuál es la función que debe cumplir el catálogo. Podemos trazar los antecedentes de esa discusión hasta las acaloradas discusiones que rodearon la compilación de un nuevo catálogo para la biblioteca del Museo Británico a mediados de siglo.

Origen y desarrollo de la Ciencia de la Información
Cuando en 1934, el belga Paul Otlet, publicó su obra titulada "Tratado de la Documentación", enunció las bases de lo que posteriormente se constituiría en una ciencia integradora. El término documentación designaba la actividad específica de recolectar, conservar, buscar y diseminar documentos. La documentación presentaba particularidades específicas que la diferenciaban de la bibliotecología y la bibliografía. Entre sus rasgos más importantes, se hallaban la capacidad de reflejar con rapidez las nuevas informaciones y agrupar las que estaban dispersas, facilitar el acceso a ellas y posibilitar su uso eficaz mediante el empleo de índices, la oferta de resúmenes con valor agregado y el empleo de las nuevas tecnologías en la búsqueda de nuevas bases del conocimiento, la organización y el almacenamiento de la información.

The Scottish e-Assessment Forum, which is organised and facilitated by the JISC RSC Scotland, launched on the 24th November 2011. The forum came about due to discussions I had with people from further and higher education institutions across Scotland, where it became clear that there was a need and desire for dedicated time to discuss e-Assessment and share practice.

School Library Monthly - The Impact of School Libraries on Academic Achievement
Where administrators value strong library programs and can see them doing their part for student success, students are more likely to thrive academically. This is the over-arching conclusion that can be drawn from the latest study of the impact of school libraries—this one in Idaho. This study, conducted by the RSL Research Group, was contracted for by the Idaho Commission for Libraries and endorsed by the Idaho Department of Education.

Five Forms of Filtering « Innovation Leadership Network
I've been seeking a way to explain why I introduce Diigo along with Information fluency skills in the E-Learning for Educators Course.
This article quickly draws the big picture. Folks seeking to become online teachers are pursuing a specialized teaching skill that requires an information filtering strategy as well as what Rheingold calls "a mental cognitive and social strategy for how you're going to deploy your attention."

In Google We Trust: Users' Decisions on Rank, Position, and Relevance
"An eye tracking experiment revealed that college student users have substantial trust in Google's ability to rank results by their true relevance to the query. When the participants selected a link to follow from Google's result pages, their decisions were strongly biased towards links higher in position even if the abstracts themselves were less relevant. While the participants reacted to artificially reduced retrieval quality by greater scrutiny, they failed to achieve the same success rate. This demonstrated trust in Google has implications for the search engine's tremendous potential influence on culture, society, and user traffic on the Web."

Super Singles Day Is Coming - How to Celebrate it?
Singles Day in China is the celebration - or mourning - of being unattached. Started by students in NanJing in the mid-1990s, the date was selected in observation of its four solitary digits 11-11 which looks like singles standing alone. This year's Singles Day seems to carry more weight than usual as the date is 11-11-11.So Chinese youth nicknamed 11-11-11 as Super Single Day.

Student Induction, Libraries, Prezi, and Interactive Maps « thewikiman
All new students go through quite a lengthy induction process in the first three weeks at the University. The library is slotted into that – how much time we get with the students varies between departments – and so it’s a good opportunity for us to make contact, promote our services, and try and embed ourselves in the academic culture, but also tricky because the students are overloaded with information as it is.

I wanted to give each of my departments an interactive map with all the library info relevant to them specifically – the idea being that it’s easier to navigate an actual map of the library than it is to just search for stuff on the library website. Because each department would have a bespoke map it would mean the students had all the info they needed in one place, and because I created the maps in Prezi they could also be used as a presentation tool (as well as a stand-alone web object, later; I give students the URL of the Prezi itself and tell them not to worry about writing down any of the other URLs it contains).
