When Judith won the trophy in2014, she had sold a few stories to That's Life and been published in a few obscurejournals with three readers. Flying to Melbourne and attending the event made her feel recognised as a writer. When she returned to Perth, there was a work thang summing up the year so far and the University Librarian said “and now we have an award-winning writer”, which was terribly exciting, she says. Since then, she has been published in a lot of anthologies and her flash fiction has been read live, recorded, translated and made into tiny films. Her creative urge at the moment is best satisfied recording songs with her duo The Additives.CreditsConcept designer, co-producer and narrator: Susanna LobezCo-producer: Carmel ShuteAnnouncer: Leigh RedheadProduction Manager: Tim CoyGraphic Designer: Caz BrownMusic: sampled & inspired by ProkofievCopyright Sisters in Crime Australia

Join us for our latest podcast episode featuring a conversation between Boaz Nadav Manes, University Librarian, Lehigh University Library, and Matthew Ismail, Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings and a Conference Director at the Charleston Conference. Boaz is the University Librarian at Lehigh University. He previously worked in collection development and technical services at Brown University and Cornell University, as well as a stint with OCLC. Matthew and Boaz will discuss a new project, the Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Project, a vendor-neutral, open source, collaborative project on which Boaz has been working for years. Boaz says the mission of this new Project is to think “network first” in building and evaluating book collections at the level of the library, the consortium, and even at the national level. The CCLP would allow librarians, publishers and vendors to think strategically about book collection development, evaluation and preservation at scale and open new avenues of cooperation and rationalization of collecting activities.

In episode 15 of Season 2, Arthi has a lovely conversation with guest Sarah Clark where Sarah shares her own experience of being her own worst enemy when she took up a key leadership role as the Dean and Head of the University Library for La Salle University.Sarah share a bit of her journey that brought her into the field of library science and building a career in this space, after realising that her initial foray into telecoms was not for her. She found her niche in connecting people with information and completed her Phd in Oaklahoma before grabbing the opportunity at La Salle University in Philadelphia.Taking up the leadership role as Dean and university Librarian, she made every mistake that a newbie leader would and shares how she became her own worst enemy. By not knowing how to manage people effectively (delegating effectively, building trust and not micromanaging) while being in this particular leadership position, she started to alienate her colleagues. What unfolded was an intervention by her team and then a journey of personal development for Sarah that helped her feel and process her feelings, forgive herself, trust her leadership skills, and come together as a team to know what works best for the collective.Some wise words from Sarah:- "Leaders don't need to be perfect to build a better world."-"When you're a leader, your intent is less important than your impact”- “It is ok, and it is necessary to feel those feelings that you have about that situation at that time because if you don't feel them, process them or shove them down in a box, they will just explode...”Listen to the full episode to hear more and be inspired by my guest.About Dr Sarah Clark:Sarah is Dean & University Librarian at La Salle University, as well as the host of the Kind Leadership Challenge podcast. Sarah's PhD in higher ed Leadership, her experience coaching, consulting, and presenting to library leaders all over the world, and a career working in academic libraries from the front desk to the Dean's office has taught her that leaders don't have to be perfect to build a better world.

For more information about the Standing Committee on Copyrights and Related Rights, see this SCCR website Sara: Welcome to another episode of copyright chat. Today I have Winston Tabb joining me from Johns Hopkins University he's the University Librarian and a longtime expert adviser to the copyright and other legal matters committee to the IFLA organization. Welcome. Winston: Thank you. Sara: It's so nice to see you and to see you on the verge I understand of your retirement? Winston: Yes. I think it's going to happen sometime. I just don't know exactly when because I had agreed to stay until my successor was in place. So the process is moving along. I heard a rumor the day will come soon. Sara: Well, congratulations! And I know throughout your career you've had a lot of interest and expertise with international copyright issues, both with the copyright and other legal matters committee and with the World Intellectual Property Organization. And I wanted to take this opportunity to kind of pick your brain about that process of how we the United States and IFLA engage with the World Intellectual Property Organization. From what I've heard, it seems to move pretty slowly and it's a very political process. But, correct me if I'm wrong. Winston: Well, I think one of the first things to understand is what an unusual organization the World Intellectual Property Organization is. Within a particular subgroup, the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights, which is the one with which we engage, I don't remember how many branches there are at WIPO, but that's the most important one for us. What I couldn't believe when I went to my first meeting and it still amazes me is that you can have an organization with, I think, 185 of so member-states and WIPO functions entirely by consensus. That is, there is never a vote taken in the sense that you would have your normal body where 51% of the people would be able to prevail if they can do that. So any one country, whether it's Russia or Ukraine, the largest or smallest country, can really bring things to a halt. And that's why it is so frustrating sometimes because the progress is so glacial. On the other hand, when you do have a victory in an environment like this, it's really a major one. So the most important thing that has happened, I believe that the 20 or so years that I've been engaged there is the adoption of the Marrakesh Treaty and it almost didn't happen and took quite a long time several false starts and starting over. But part of the reason that happens in actual fact is because of the necessity for having consensus. Sara: Yeah, that's a really good point. I mean, I think most people in the world, or I guess maybe not most, but many are aware of that treaty. And it seemed like a pretty smooth process from the outside. But can you give us an insider's view a little bit of how long this was pending and what happened with the treaty? Winston: Well, as I said, there were several false starts. So, I went to WIPO for the first time in 2003, which is the time when I was appointed to be the chair of IFLA's copyright committee. Of course, I was just amazed at how things worked and how they didn't. My very first meeting that I went to was of the cultural administration group. I think you're gonna be working with them, if I understand right. So, we're working on some kind of instrument that would deal with cultures and I was so fascinated to see, but sitting at the table were people from various minority groups. The Sami from the North and the Maori from New Zealand were actually part of the official groups. And it was a very substantive discussion. So I was expecting it to be like that when I went to other meetings such as to the meetings of the standing committee on copyright, but it was definitely not the case. The Standing Committee on Copyright it members of federal agencies only. The United States usually has people there led always by the Patent and Trademark Office because they are the executive branch, but also generally at least one person from the US Copyright Office. But I was really kind of amazed when we first started working on what came to be the Marrakesh Treaty to find that there had been a lot of efforts in the early 1990s to have such a treaty and they finally just completely collapsed. So, this was like a second start. And you never know exactly why something works the second time around. I don't think it was just because we all had t-shirts which we probably wore saying “stop the book famine.” But I think that really helped as a way of kind of characterizing what it would feel like to be blind, able to have access to books it was a book famine. That word famine really just captured people's attention. Nevertheless, it did take at least six or seven years. I can't even remember quite how long it went. At first everyone was kinda just nice about it. And then there's the publishing industry that began to realize this might actually happen. They began to be very, very oppositional—really oppose almost every aspect and were able quite often to get other national entities to agree with them. Probably the most negative force against this treaty and the one that I believe was most susceptible to the publishers was the European Union. So this is another thing that is very unusual about the SCCR, which is that when we're in session, it is possible for someone from Luxembourg to speak or from France in their national capacity. But really the authority speaking comes from the European Union representatives. Of course, in a way it represented the bureaucrats who speak for that entire group. And the EU was just not willing to have any part of this until this moment that I will never forget in Marrakesh. We finally met and the negotiations were going on. But the EU was not moving. And I saw the then Director General do something that I never saw before or after which was essentially to call out the EU in the public session and basically say you are continuing the book famine. If we can't make some progress here after we've gathered, and made so much progress and get to the finish line, it's going to be on you. And you can just feel the moment when the publishers and their representatives to the EU understood that they were getting ready to come under a very black cloud, so to speak. So it was really one of those wonderful turning moments right in the middle of that week. And then things fairly quickly came to a close, but it was at least a 20 maybe even a 25-year process. So I try to think about what I think our first Copyright Treaty for libraries was only introduced in 2005 or 2006 I think we first began to shop it around. So if you're taking a long view and compare it to what happened with the blind, where we're doing okay. We have to take solace. Sara: So it's interesting because you are pointing out that the only folks that really have a voice at these treaty discussions are official representatives. So how are the publishers then getting their voices heard? Is this through independent meetings? Do they come to the meeting as an observer? How are they involved? Winston: Yes. Well, they're involved in exactly the same way we are. So one thing I will say about the standing committee on copyright or related rights is very open to NGOs that wanted to come. Usually the very first agenda item after adoption of the agenda is the addition of new members. And so we've never had a problem about that. So we're often actually seat them side-by-side with the publishers that are all as usual people from the licensing agencies. I'm sorry. It's been so long since I was actually there. But we're all sitting there together, representatives from all the NGOs with our label in front of us. Almost always, member states are invited to speak first, and then if there's time, then we will be invited to speak. And I will say, I think we've been treated very fairly. When I put my light on saying I want to speak, I'm almost always the first or one of the very first people who is invited to make what we call an intervention. Sara: Okay, so. they're there talking with the EU. They're also participating in the group discussions. That makes perfect sense. So, after Marrakesh, where do you see the SCCR headed? What is the next kind of issue that's on the horizon? Winston: Well, the very biggest issue that's on the horizon and the longest there is a broadcasting treaty. So there are basically right now two major issues before the SCCR. There are a few others that are kinda crept in, like the Russians wanting to have theater stage directors rights. But the two topics that are given, roughly four out of the five days, more or less evenly divided are the treaty on broadcasting and then the treaty for libraries, archives, and museums. That one has been under discussion. It was under discussion the first time I went, and it is still under discussion. Glacial progress is made. Then one of the things I need to be clear about another oddity or feature of the SCCR is that regime change really matters. So you can be moving along very nicely and suddenly a country's regime changes. This happened to us very explicitly with Brazil. We had two very, very strong supporters from the Brazilian copyright office working with us very closely who were advocating for us, and would often introduce articles or motions that were in our favor. And one day we were there and they had this panic came across their faces. We found out the regime had changed. They had been summoned home. And the next people who came from Brazil had no interest in library. So that's a whole other reason that it takes so long to get things done because you develop relations and then those people vanish. Another problem is that people who are there usually, not for the United States, for example, who really do come from our federal agencies, but most of the people representing countries there are the ambassador of that country to the United Nations in Geneva. And so they don't have any copyright expertise. There may be meetings that are going on across town, one of the other United Nations agencies, so they may have to divide their time. And of course, as is true with diplomats, they usually have a two or three-year posting. So it's been a constant reeducating for the people who are actually representing the countries and have the vote. So that's another factor that complicates what actually makes speed and possible. We're in the constant educational mode, which is enjoyable from one of view, because you are training people. But it's really sad when you see someone who's really been a strong, fervent supporter from one of the country's depart. And you know, you may not get a good replacement. And you have to start all over again. Sara: It's curious to me that the strong supporter doesn't then talk to their replacement. Because it seems to me that the education could be within the organization instead of from the other participants. Does that ever happen or is that pretty rare? Winston: It does happen and I could name examples. I won't necessarily here, but there are countries where that has definitely happened. But again, these people are diplomats who aren't necessarily in copyright. They may have much more concerned about human rights, which is across the street, or international trade, which is down the road. So they don't necessarily think that this is even an important topic as compared to others that they would really highlight as putting up the top of the list for their successor. Sara: Well, that makes sense, but it's also seems like it's unfortunate for those folks who are invested. And when you're talking about libraries and archives, are you talking about the ongoing discussions about how we have, for instance, in the United States, exceptions for libraries and archives for preservation is that they issue because I understand Kenny Crews wrote a report years ago for WIPO, kind of outlining the world and how different countries have different laws on this topic. Winston: Yeah. Well, I would say there are three major things that have been wonderful for libraries during the time that I have been working at SCCR. The first one I already talked about was Marrakech. From beginning we're able to see the end of that. The second was that we were invited by the WIPO secretariat in 2003 or 2004, fairly early on in the time that I became engaged, we told them one of the things that was really, really difficult for all of us to know, actually, what were the conditions at all the member states. And WIPO is quite eager and willing to fund nonpartisan kind of activities. And so they asked us to suggest three or four people who might be able to undertake such a study. We put Kenny at the top of our list. I think at the time he was still a Columbia as the copyright librarian. He was engaged to undertake this work, but he did, and it was published. And he was invited to come and do a presentation for, I think a half-day and take questions from the member states about it. So it was the very first time I think there was ever one central place where you could go to see, well how many countries actually have an interlibrary loan provision. About a decade later, WIPO asked Kenny, if he would update that study, which he did. And it's on the SCCR website and has become very, very useful for all of us and providing data that we can actually use, both in our oral presentations that we make, but also in our meetings with the various regional groups. So if I could take another kind of a side note, one of the things I didn't mention, that's also an interesting factor of how we work as a group. Each region has a group, there's an African group, there's a Latin American, Caribbean group, and so on. There is also what's called group B. Which is really the European Union, Canada, the United States. So it's going to be the more developed countries or in a group. And then there's a small subset of the countries of the former Soviet Union and China as its own group, but indicates what we often do both before we get to Geneva, but also while we are there is to arrange meetings with these groups. So quite often at seven o'clock, on a Wednesday morning, we're going in and sitting down with all the representatives from the African countries and talking with them about not only what we want in general, but about what the situation is in those countries. And we've tried with some success to always have a librarian from one of those countries with us because people really prefer to hear someone from Algeria talking about what Africa needs more than they do about someone for the United States. So that's been a wonderful way of making inroads. But again, all of those groups have a one-year term for the chair. So you may have a year when you've got someone from Algeria who loves libraries. The next year? You may get someone from Togo, has no interest at all and doesn't even want to have the library group come and talk to them necessarily. So that's another thing that this constantly changing in interactions with people, because the people changed and then the roles change as well. But anyway, the whole study that was done by Kenny. I think that was one of the most useful things the SCCR has done, and that was our recommendation, but at their expense with something that is still very, very proud of. Sara: You mentioned also there's turnover of the Secretary General. And you also mentioned how instrumental the secretary at was in getting the Marrakesh Treaty past. Does it depend a lot on who that person is? Winston: Yes, it definitely does. And I think what happened with the Marrakesh treaty is that there's a 10-year term of the Director-General and that person's term was coming toward the end. And it's very unusual for that person to be reappointed. So he knew he's going home to Australia. And I think that really made it maybe easier from a practical sense to really press as he did. The good news for us is that we had as the most, the former chair of the standing committee on copyright, the copyright office of Singapore works. And when it came time to choose a new Director General, he was chosen out of several different applicants. So we now have at the top level, within the World Intellectual Property Organization, someone who is himself a copyright specialist, has direct experience of having lead the SCCR for a five-year term. He has continued to be very, very supportive of us. Sara: And what year is he now and his tenure term? Winston: I think it may be so hard to remember anything during COVID. I think it's the fourth year or maybe the fifth, something, something like that, but maybe four years. I think. He also has been very instrumental in helping us get one thing done. The last big thing that I'm really particularly proud of because it is tangible, and that is the preparation is something called the preservation toolkit. So during COVID when meetings weren't being held but there was still hoping there can be some progress. I did reach out to the director general as well as to the Assistant Secretary General who's working in the copyright arena to see if there wasn't something we can do in the preservation. Because that seemed to be something that everyone understood was a problem. But not every country you really has the authority to do copying even for preservation purposes. So what eventually happened was that they said, well, why don't we prepare a toolkit? And that term is extremely important because within the odd way in which WIPO works, a toolkit, didn't require the approval of all the member states. It didn't have to be discussed with the member states, doesn't have to be adopted by the member states. It's a tool that countries may use or not use. So that's why it was able to proceed. Something's better than nothing. I think in this environment. And I'm especially happy we did it because of some of the things that have happened in the course of the preparation of it. Things like the war, Ukraine, things like floods, things like fires, and the National Library of South Africa and the museum and Rio has really made it very clear that if you don't do some preemptive preservation, it's too late and it needs to be cross-border If it's truly gonna be preservation. So the secretary did commission representatives from each of our sectors, libraries, archives, and museum, to prepare this toolkit that has been prepared. And it is going to be presented on-site reading in Geneva at the very end of this month. I'm so sad I'm not able to go to this effect because it exactly coincides with my retirement dinner. So I really didn't have much of a choice about it, but by the end of September, this will have been released, introduced and then we, as librarians at our friends at the archives and museum world, can begin promoting it and using it. We hope that will at least be able to get preservation provisions in national law as well as kind of moving us, we hope toward international instrument at some point that really deals with the cross-border issues. Sara: That sounds like really important work, especially given as you mentioned, all the disasters we've been having. And we're going to have more with natural disasters and fires. And I mean, you name it right. Hurricanes. I think climate change is really threatening our collections and our collective memory institutions. Winston: We keep making the point that after the things are gone, they kept the preserved. It seems so obvious, but this need that you don't have to even prove at this point that something is deteriorating. You just need to be able to get copies of it somewhere that are safe. And that requires that it be at a different location. Maybe ideally multiple locations, even if it's just about to find out at some point, how many is enough? One thing I didn't really mention at the beginning, I should have, because it's a really important part of our collaboration. When we first began, it was libraries. And we actually drafted something we called TLAB the Treaty for Libraries Archives and Museums. And I was really happy working with archives and museums over time that we were able to get them engaged with us as well. So we now have a draft treaty called TLAB treaty for libraries, archives, and museums. And the three entities work very, very closely as we saw with the development of the presentation toolkit. But there was one representatives from each of the sectors that were very much involved in preparation of that. So that's a great step forward as well. I think that thinking about how libraries, archives, and museums are much more alike than they are different and we worked together, not separately or against one another. Sara: Yeah. And I think your point about the many copies is really important because it's not only that you've made the copy which is important, that's a first step. But then if that copy is held on-site and the site is destroyed, you still don't have the copy. So, the cross-border issue really seems central. And I hope that we're able to make some progress on that, too. Winston: I think that it's a fairly, fairly easy within SCCR contexts, it's kinda crazy to say, but I can imagine getting instrument that provides for the preservation. I think the hardest part is going to be about the access part. One of the things we keep saying there needs to be able to be access. You can't just have something that was copied in Algeria and it's being housed in the library in Paris, but can never be open. So, at some point, there has to be reasonable trigger event that would enable the preserve work to actually used. And there are people who still are arguing, yes, but when that happens, there needs to be a fee. And that's it, kinda battle that we'll have to find with the people who want to monetize everything, but at least it's a step in the right direction. And even if we could get, each country has its own preservation provision, that would be a step forward in the right direction too. I think we forget in the United States how it was lucky we really are never entirely satisfied or will we ever be? But when I think about provisions that we have an compared to a lot of our counterparts, including the European Union, we actually are much better off with mitigate them. I think that's true and I think it's part of the reason that this work at, at the international level is so important is to really show that these provisions are important and that these provisions help libraries, archives, museums, and our patrons right to gain access to materials. I think that's something that the United States can really lead on. Well, we keep just saying our information is borderless. I mean, this whole idea that goes back to an era when a book was one place and then it might be the next. Just like that now and I think again with the passage of time and seeing how the Internet has developed and so on. People knowing their hearts, if that really is true, they may not want to get that embedded in a way that is really useful at the national or international level. But there's no denying that we have to be thinking about things not at national level, international level, because of the way in which information is created and shared and stored today. Sara: Very true. Well, this has been a really fascinating conversation. I've learned a lot and I hope the listeners appreciate it too. And congratulations on your well-earned retirement. It sounds like you are going to continue to do wonderful things. I look forward to many, many more years of your engagement with international copyright. Winston: Thank you so much. I've really enjoyed it, bye.
Today's episode features a conversation with Jim O'Donnell, University Librarian, Arizona State University. The interview was conducted by Matthew Ismail, Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings and Conference Director at the Charleston Conference. Jim O'Donnell was a longstanding academic and professor of classics before becoming University Librarian at Arizona State University in 2015. Jim and Matthew, both Charleston Conference veterans, will discuss libraries and the internet before 1995, that moment for libraries and the internet, as Jim puts it, “when all the lights went on at Broadway at once.”

Today's audio is from a Keynote Address from the 2021 Charleston Library Conference, titled "Think Different" Presented by Joy Connolly, President, American Council of Learned Societies, and moderated by Jim O'Donnell, University Librarian, Arizona State University. Today, thanks to the gradual democratization of the university and the explosion of digital technology, knowledge (or at least information) has never been more accessible. Meanwhile, academic scholarship has grown ever more highly specialized. Many faculty in the humanities and social sciences are trying to bridge the divide in the hope of reaching more students and a broader public, but they frequently find themselves foiled by entrenched habits of curricular design, rigid faculty reward structures and hierarchies, and uneven access to resources. Joy will lay out some ways people are thinking differently — and from a scholar's perspective, she'll discuss how libraries advance scholarly evolution. Video of the presentation available at https: https://youtu.be/wYd2vO6wVEM Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-o-donnell-71006a19/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-connolly-a1ab9982/

Students' expectations for their university libraries sometimes misalign with their actual behaviors in the library. Working together, university librarians and library designers can strike the right balance to create a place that becomes an academic hub for a campus. In this episode, our guests Robbie Bolton, University Librarian at Spring Arbor University; Tom Sens, Higher Education Client Leader at BHDP; and Kyle Moll, Intern Architect on BHDP's Higher Education team, discuss research on students' library usage and the implications this data has for library design.
"When you're looking at digital equivalency, we're looking at experience design. It's somewhat of an alchemy." In each episode of season two, we are doing a deep dive into the different aspects of digital transformation. Today's episode focuses on Digital Equivalency, which is the ability to offer equivalent experiences in physical and digital spaces. Michael Gonzalez, the University Librarian, and Daniel Hamilton, the Communications Manager, at the University Technology Sydney, in Australia share their multi-year process in implementing digital equivalency throughout the library. Plus, commentary by Microsoft's Catherine Devine, Global Business Strategy Leader for Libraries and Museums. Link to full interview transcript: https://bit.ly/3vmezS6

In today's episode we will feature an interview with Dr. Earl Lewis, University of Michigan, Director of Center for Social Solutions. This interview is part of the popular "Views from the Penthouse Suite" series and was introduced by Tom Gilson, Associate Editor, Against the Grain, and conducted by Jim O'Donnell, University Librarian, Arizona State University. Two weeks ago we featured Dr. Lewis' keynote presentation from the 2020 Charleston Conference where he showed us how leading requires more than managing change, it requires a focus on building a community of grace during such turbulent times. What a wonderful kickoff to the Conference and our new podcast season it was! Tom and Jim caught up with Dr. Lewis after his keynote to speak with him. He talked with them about his experience with libraries growing up in Norfolk, Virginia in the 1960's. He says the library, even in a segregated city at that time, became a more desegregated space for him. He recalls barriers being moved and the "opening up" as laws were changed and the impacts it had on him and his family. He also reflects how his background shapes his view of where we are as a society now and how to handle the tasks ahead of us all. Video of the Presentation is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpzHf5jFoX8
Audio from the opening keynote of the 2020 Charleston Library Conference, a presentation by Earl Lewis, Director of the University of Michigan Center for Social Solutions, moderated by Jim O’Donnell, University Librarian at Arizona State University. Headlines scream, horns blare, neighbors march, bodies mount, and the pace of change never seems to abate. Life can seem out of control. America can appear divided along any number of fault lines. Against this backdrop, Earl Lewis argues that leading requires more than managing change, it requires a focus on building a community of grace.

You wouldn’t call Dr Robin Sargent one of the most traditional Instructional Designers out there --- her journey to ID certainly is not! Starting with a BA and MA in Biblical Studies and Theology, to waiting tables, to being a University Librarian, Robin has taken an unconventional route to corporate training. If not for a chance conversation with the university Dean at a nearby copy machine, she wouldn’t be where she is today. That conversation? “Do you know anybody with a Master’s Degree that wants to be an academic advisor?” After offering herself for the position, she moved up to Assistant Dean, and eventually became in charge of the institution’s new online program. And after handling all of the technology and course development for this program, she concurrently completed her MBA, and shortly thereafter, left to seek her fortune in the corporate space.

The Alberta NDP government's 2017 budget was presented on March 16 and projects a $10.3 billion deficit this year on revenue of $45 billion. While the budget will see Alberta go further into the red, despite its implementation of a carbon levy, it also promises hospital spending, new schools and other infrastructure along with more money for seniors and social services. Opposition leaders have loudly been calling for the government to curb pending, saying that the cost of a growing debt load will handicap future generations unfairly. However, Alberta's population is still growing despite the economic downturn caused by low oil/gas prices. Cutting services and deferring capital projects could hurt the economy short term and may jeopardize future prosperity. The budget sets aside $4.5 billion over four years for infrastructure project and $100 million to help First Nations reserves get reliable access to clean drinking water Education spending is on the rise and cutting school fees for parents to the tune of $54 million was announced earlier. Plans to build 10 new schools and upgrade or replace 16 more are in the works as is a freeze on post-secondary tuition fees. The province is investing heavily in tax credits and other financial incentives to diversify the economy and get off what it calls the "oil and gas roller-coaster." The speaker will put Alberta's current economic difficulties into perspective and look to his “crystal ball” for answers on how Alberta can overcome the plague of boom and bust cycles. Speaker: Dr. Chris Nicol Dr. Christopher Nicol arrived on the U of L campus in 2001 and assumed his duties as a professor in economics while also serving as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Science. Nicol, took on the role of Acting University Librarian in Sept. 1, 2012 and was appointed to a three-year term as University Librarian July 1, 2013 and he will continue in that role for a five-year term effective July 1, 2016. Nicol will also continue on as a professor of economics in the Department of Economics while serving as the University Librarian. An esteemed researcher, Nicol's interests are in econometrics, applied econometrics and the theory of consumer behaviour. He has been awarded numerous grants from national funding agencies such as the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and was recently honoured with a Lethbridge Family Services Immigrant Achievement Award as a distinguished professional.

In this episode of Houghton75 we welcome Professor Robert Darnton, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and University Librarian, Emeritus, to discuss the experiences which led him to study the history of books. It all started with Herman Melville’s personal copy of Emerson’s Essays, housed at Houghton Library and on display in our current exhibition, HIST75H: A Masterclass on Houghton Library (through April 22, 2017). Find out more about the exhibition and Houghton Library’s 75th anniversary celebrations at http://houghton75.org/ Music by Les Délices http://www.lesdelices.org
The Evolution of E-Books As we all know, the advent of the ebook have had a profound impact on libraries. What started as very tentative steps with NetLibrary at the turn of the millennium – this seems like a lifetime ago! - has rapidly evolved with the integration of digital content and services in libraries. The evolution from print to online has been a rocky and complicated journey, unlike the relatively smooth transition from print to online format for journals. Much has been written and said about the challenges and opportunities resulting from the ebook. Major challenges include ownership, preservation, discovery, accessibility, licensing and acquisition models, and usability. It’s time to take a step back and look at the remarkable evolution of the ebook – where have we come from, where are we today, and most importantly, where do we want the adoption or integration of ebooks to lead us? What does this mean for the iconic role of the monograph in libraries and in particular for the success of our students and faculty? Looking back can help us better understand the odyssey of the road ahead. What are the main drivers, challenges, and opportunities? Our panelists have significant and varying experiences with ebooks in libraries and they will bring us their insights and analyses. They will address various issues and challenges, guided by the questions below. Historical Perspective of eBooks: How have eBooks changed over time? What is your perspective on the evolution of the eBook? What do you like and/or don’t like? The Future of eBooks: What new developments are on the horizon? What are the latest models emerging? Will these changes meet the needs of students in higher education? What are the implications for academic libraries/students/educators? Impact: How will eBook reading impact literacy, reading, and learning in today’s world? Will this affect academic collection development? What philosophical challenges are posed as academic libraries embrace eBook collection development? Tony Horava (Moderator)- University of Ottawa, AUL Collections, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada I've been involved in Collections work for many years, and have seen remarkable transformations over the years. The challenges around ebooks, licensing, budgets, consortial strategies, new forms of knowledge and scholarly communications spring to mind. Reading in the digital age fascinates me - it is such a sea-change. The Charleston Conference is always energizing. I look forward to connecting with many people and hearing new ideas and innovative strategies on the various challenges we face.

David Durant - East Carolina University, Federal Documents and Social Sciences Librarian My professional interests focus on the importance of preserving and ensuring access to legacy print collections in the digital library environment. This is an especially pressing issue in federal documents, where my institution is a member of the ASERL Collaborative Federal Documents Program, but also for broader monographic collections as well. I'm also interested in the ways in which technology is altering the ways in which we read and think, and the broader societal implications of these changes.

Libraries as Convener, Enabler, Distributor, Advocate and Archive in the Future Knowledge Economy By 2026, there will be no information and services industry targeting products to the library marketplace. Content and applications will be directed to the consumer. Open resources for learning, research and recreation, and open source tools supporting innovation, and individual and organizational productivity, will be more prevalent in the global economy. Self-publishing and niche technology development will dominate. Information policy wars will dictate national and global legal and legislative debates. Libraries will be effectively integrated into the new creative environments. www.against-the-grain.com www.charlestonlibraryconference.com James G.

Episode #114
The Dawson Society was delighted to host Mr Karl Schmude as the presenter at our sixth Speakers Forum for 2014. Speaking on the thought on and work of two giants of 20th century Catholic, the great Gilbert Kieth Chesterton and the namesake of our organisation, Christopher Dawson, Schmude drew out the complimentary extant in their respective works and highlighted significant points of difference, not only in their physical stature, but also in their writing. Schmude has combined a long career in university libraries with freelance writing and speaking, both in Australia and overseas. He served for 16 years as University Librarian at the University of New England in Armidale NSW. In 2000, he began working full-time on establishing Campion College Australia, the private Liberal Arts college of Catholic inspiration which opened in Sydney in 2006. He has published extensively on subjects associated with religion and culture – particularly literature, history, and education. His feature articles and book reviews have appeared in national newspapers and journals as well as international periodicals in the USA, England, South America and New Zealand. He is President of the Australian Chesterton Society, which has held several major conferences at Campion College.
The extent to which we are subject to surveillance — the collection of information about us, by government, commercial, or individual agents — is in large part an economic question. Surveillance takes effort and resources — spend more and we can do better surveillance. Protecting against surveillance also takes effort and resources. Given the state of technology, the amount of effort and money each side expends determines what is surveilled and what is kept private. As technology changes, both the cost and the desirability of surveillance, and protection against surveillance, change. We can confidently predict that information technology and communication costs will continue to decrease, and capabilities to surveil and protect against it will improve. What are the consequences for our privacy? Will we have a future with more or less privacy? Which do we want? Bio: Jeffrey MacKie-Mason will be joining UC Berkeley on October 1 as University Librarian and Chief Digital Scholarship Officer. For the past 29 years, Jeff has been a faculty member at the University of Michigan, where he was the Arthur W. Burks Collegiate Professor of Information and Computer Science, and also a professor of economics and a professor of public policy. For the last five years he has been the dean of Michigan’s School of Information. Jeff has been a pioneering scholar of the economics of the Internet and online behavior and a frequent co-author with the Berkeley I School’s first dean, Hal Varian. He has also led the development of the incentive-centered design approach to online information services.
