Academic libraries are changing in the face of information technologies, economic pressures, and globally disruptive events such as the current pandemic. In Refocusing Academic Libraries Through Learning and Discourse: The Idea of a Library (Chandos, 2023), Mary K. Bolin argues for a radical vision of library transformation, offering practical solutions for transforming organizational and workflow structures for the future. This book analyzes existing organizational structures and proposes new ones that can be adapted to individual libraries. It discusses the challenges posed by virtual learning environments, digital initiatives and resources, changes to cataloging standards and succession planning, as well as changes brought about by the current pandemic. It aims to help library leaders find new models of organization that make the best use of limited resources.  Refocusing Academic Libraries Through Learning and Discourse: The Idea of a Library helps inform discussions taking place in academic libraries about organizational patterns and divisions of labor. These discussions are now more critical than ever because academic libraries are facing a time of disruption. This book will give librarians leverage to think outside traditional bureaucratic structures and re-think how libraries serve their patrons. The book examines existing structures and proposes new ones. Specifically, the book proposes organizational models and lays out a process for planning organizational transformation and implementing a new organization. Seven chapters offer a radical vision of library transformation, proposing a collaborative process for changing academic libraries into organizations that are fit for the second quarter of the twenty-first century and beyond.

In this episode, Dr Natalie Lancer, with Juliette Alban-Metcalfe, Dr Anna Kane and Dr Eva-Maria Graf, discusses how research can be applied to coaching in organisations. We cover linguistic research in coaching conversations, the use of psychometric tools in coaching, and confidence at work. We ask: What do we mean by self-confidence? How can we use different models and tools to build confidence in clients? What do coaches and clients do when they are having an authentic coaching conversation? What does the research show about using closed questions? What can we learn from the EDI (Embodied, Dynamic, Inclusive) model about confidence including our physical experience? What are the 12 types of questioning sequences that show up in coaching? How do coaches work with ideologies, stereotypes and generalisations, including gender, when coaching leaders? How can psychometric tools support the coaching process towards increasing self-awareness? What makes coaching unique? We talk about the benefits and limitations of coaching tools, including psychometrics, in achieving the aims of better leadership and team working. We also discuss how to manage coachees' resistance during the coaching process. The episode concludes with the panel sharing their future research plans. Our guests today are: Juliette Alban-Metcalfe is a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, CEO of the Real World Group, author and researcher. As a leadership and organisational behaviour expert, Juliette has authored articles and book chapters on leadership, teamworking and diversity & inclusion and she has helped establish assessments of Engaging Transformational Leadership.

Dr Eva-Maria Graf is Associate Professor in Applied and English Linguistics at the University of Klagenfurt, Austria and is also a coach and trainer of coaches. Her research interests and publications are in applied linguistics with a focus on the helping professions, in particular, coaching. She is the founder of linguistic coaching process research which analyses the micro interactions between coach and client in coaching sessions. She uses Conversation Analysis and Interactional Sociolinguistics to interrogate her data.  She co-launched the first open-access academic journal on coaching research in the German speaking market (Coaching | Theorie & Praxis). She currently investigates forms and functions of questioning practices in coaching from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating qualitative linguistic and quantitative psychological methods (https://questions-in-coaching.aau.at/).  Dr Anna Kane is a Chartered Coaching and Occupational Psychologist with 20 years' experience offering occupational psychology services within public, private and third sectors. Anna is driven to support people from under-represented groups navigating leadership roles.

A career diplomat since 1993, he will be building partnerships and coalitions of support for Israel with the people and governments of Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. He plans to focus on strengthening relations in the areas of innovation and technology, trade, agriculture, tourism, sustainability and the environment, and culture.  He looks forward to working together with the active Jewish communities, businesses, and Israeli entrepreneurs in San Francisco, Seattle and Portland. A native Italian and fluent Spanish speaker, he intends to work closely with the Italian American and Hispanic American communities. He is eager to work with the Americans of Asian descent, including the Japanese and Indian communities, based on his diplomatic experiences. Marco served as Israel's Ambassador to Colombia and strengthened the political and trade relations significantly with the first ever visit of an Israeli Prime Minister to the country, and with the ratification of the Free Trade Agreement during his tenure.  This set the framework for commerce and economic cooperation which has flourished until today.  Throughout Marco's tenure there was increased cooperation on technology, innovation, development, and defense issues. As Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica, he was instrumental in strengthening relations in a number of areas including agriculture, development, and defense. Israel was one of the first countries to respond to the devastating earthquake of Haiti in 2010, providing immediate humanitarian assistance and long-term trauma-care knowledge. Additionally, he served as Deputy Ambassador to Japan helping represent Israel as the Indo-Pacific Region became more of a focus for Israeli foreign policy.  He was the Head of the European Multilateral Organizations desk in the European Division of the Foreign Ministry, which included NATO, OSCE and others.

Previously he served as the Political Counselor of the Israeli Mission to the United Nations focusing on social affairs, human rights, economics, and sustainability. He helped Israel gain a more appropriate representation on various UN Committees and staff, and helped many Israeli NGOs obtain UN recognition and accreditation. At the start of his career, he was a Deputy Chief of Mission in both Mumbai and Dublin. Born in Rome, Marco's family was active in the Roman Jewish Community, who trace their origins to the Second Temple period 2,000 years ago. He immigrated to Israel as a child on the day before the Yom Kippur War started in 1973 growing up in Lod, a city with various economic and social challenges. For him, being accepted as a Cadet in the Israeli Foreign Ministry, and representing Israel, is a personal and professional dream.  Before joining the Foreign Ministry, he was assistant to the night editor of the Jerusalem Post, wrote articles for the paper, and worked in a bookstore. Besides international diplomacy, Marco has been writing and publishing poetry for the past 20 years. He also translates Italian and English poetry into Hebrew. He received a BA in English Linguistics and International Relations from Hebrew University and served in a field intelligence unit in the IDF. He enjoys Italian cooking and music, and is hoping to expand his vinyl record collection during his time in San Francisco.   We talk about: How can a Silicon Valley company get in contact with investors from Israel? How can the Israel consulate help companies here and abroad? How has the technology that has been developed in Israel spilll over to other countries into other parts of the world or has it? And  much more… Connect with Marco https://embassies.gov.il/san-francisco https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-sermoneta-28907a18/

In this episode of Past Perfect, Chris Mielke is joined by Ádám Nádasdy, a professor of English linguistics and a poet who is famous for translation Sheakspear`s plays into Hungarian. The professor starts the conversation with the Anglo-Norman world, the development of English in the Middle Ages, and the interactions between English and French. You will learn how the difference between „swine” and „pork” appeared, which strange French expressions still exist in English, and when did British start pronounce vowels as it is now. Ádám Nádasdy also speaks about the changes in English between Chaucer to Shakespeare: is it true that Elizabeth I would instead prefer American English over the modern British one?The second part of the interview tells about the current project of the professor, the translation of Dante's „Divine Comedy” into Hungarian. Ádám Nádasdy explains „Science Fiction” of Dante`s Heaven and the mistakes of cosmology, which were made both by Dante and Christopher Columbus. In the end, the professor shares his thoughts on the spirit of the Middle Ages, whether they were gloomy and “gothic,” or did the medieval people enjoy life even more than we do it nowadays. Past Perfect! is CEU Medieval Radio's show on medieval and early modern history and culture, where various issues from the crusades to archeo-zoology to medieval urine sampling are discussed. The discussions are made with the aim to popularize medieval and early modern studies with the help of experts such as early musicians, historians, philologists and archeologists.This episode was recorded in 2013.

This week's episode is a continuation of our discussion on Centering Blackness in Education. We are joined again by Dr. Lamar L. Johnson of Michigan State University to discuss Black Language, also known as African American Vernacular English (AAVE) or Ebonics. In 1996, the Oakland, California School District allowed Black English to be used in classrooms as a bridge for students to leverage their AAVE to learn Standard English. Along with Dr. Johnson, we explore how Black English is an important element of Black education and how it can be used to expand Black students' educational experiences. Lamar L. Johnson is an Associate Professor of Language and Literacy for Linguistic and Racial Diversity in the Department of English at Michigan State University. He is interested in the complex intersections of race, language, literacy, and education and how English language arts (ELA) classrooms can become racial justice sites. Sources Baldwin, J.

At the IATEFL last Monday 1st April, I met Andy Cowle who has been working in the English Language world for over 20 years and I had a really interesting conversation with him. It was great to hear about teaching methods and materials from a different perspective as Andy has not only the experience of being a language trainer but also he is a specialist in publishing and provides talks and workshops for companies in the ELT sector, as well as presentations training for those in any publishing field.We also explored a little the aspect of coaching. Join me and discover what we said :)About AndyAndy Cowle studied German and English Linguistics at the University of Newcastle and qualified as an English teacher in 1989. Since then he has taught all ages and levels of English students, mostly in Germany and the U.K. and has worked in the field of English Language Teaching publishing with many companies in over 40 countries. He is a business development consultant and international conference speaker, focusing on motivating teachers and closing the gap between the classroom and the real and changing world of English. He grew up on Merseyside and lives with his family in Glasgow in Scotland.

Yinz ready for another episode of re:verb? On today's show, we interview Dr. Barbara Johnstone, professor of English and Linguistics at Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the foremost scholars of an American English dialect known as Pittsburghese.Our conversation touches on the history and features of Pittsburghese, how it has helped to forge various local identities in the city and beyond, and more broadly, how the ways that we talk about language influences our use of language. We discuss Professor Johnstone's career, how she became interested in place-based registers, and to what extent her own work may have influenced public perceptions of Pittsburgh speech. Finally, we end with a light-hearted discussion of human-animal communication, and Alex develops his folk theory about regional dialects of cat-speak.Works & Concepts Cited in this Episode:Hawhee, Debra.

For a long time, the English variety of choice in Swedish schools was what is often called “British English”, or, to be more specific, Received Pronunciation. Not only was this the variety used by the teachers themselves, but it was also the variety students were encouraged - indeed forced - to use, to the exclusion of all others. Recently, American English has made headway, both among teacher candidates and in Swedish society as a whole, probably due to the American dominance in popular culture. Today, most teacher candidates choose to use either Received Pronunciation or General American English, and teaching materials in Swedish schools and at university also focus on these two varieties.   But how representative is this limited choice for the status of English globally today, when most speakers of English have it as their second, third or fourth language? Should we continue to encourage our students to choose either English or American English? And how do we approach students who are fluent speakers of another variety, such as Australian, Nigerian or Indian English?   Participants: Philip Shaw, Emeritus Professor of English Linguistics, Stockholm University Katarina Kearney, secondary school teacher in English and PE at Nacka Gymnasium   Moderator: Sara Lilja Visén

Input validation is an important part of security, but it's also one of the most annoying parts. False positives and false negatives force us to choose between convenience and security-but do we have to make that choice? Can't we have both? In this talk two University of Iowa researchers will present new methods of input validation which hold promise to give us both convenience _and_ security. A basic understanding of SQL and regular expressions is required. Robert J. Hansen: B.A. in Computer Science from Cornell College, 1998. Graduate student at the University of Iowa, 2003-2005, researching secure voting systems with Prof. Doug Jones. Senior Security Engineer at Exemplary Technologies, 2000; Cryptographic Engineer at PGP Security, 2000-2001. Meredith L. Patterson: B.A. English (Linguistics) from the University of Houston, 2000. M.A. Linguistics from the University of Iowa, 2003. Graduate student at the University of Iowa, 2003-2005, studying data mining with Prof. Hwanjo Yu.
