Summing up
National Education Policy and role of LibrariesDr Trivedi
The document discusses India's new National Education Policy (NEP) and the role of libraries. It notes that the NEP aims to provide universal access to quality education through digital technologies like e-learning and online learning. It emphasizes that libraries are important to support curriculum and research. Academic libraries must have digital collections in multiple languages and formats. The NEP recognizes leveraging technology while addressing equity and access issues. Librarians should focus collections and lessons on developing skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and digital/information literacy.
The document discusses the role of artificial intelligence in library services, describing how AI tools such as chatbots, robotics, natural language processing, and computer vision can assist with tasks like reference services, cataloging, security, and preservation of materials. It provides a brief history of AI in libraries and outlines several common AI tools and their applications in technical and user services.
Library education was initially a technical education that was acquired on the job. Practical work in a library, based on a good education in schools, was the only way to train librarians.
It took quite a long time to introduce library education as a subject and has been taught at different levels in the universities of the world.
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and provides examples of how IoT devices can be used in libraries. It defines IoT as connecting everyday physical objects to the internet. It provides examples of current IoT devices people may have at home like smart cars, appliances, and wearables. It then discusses potential applications of IoT in libraries, including using RFID tags, motion sensors, and beacons to enhance services and automate processes. The document envisions a future where all library materials and patron interactions are connected through IoT.

It also lists the librarian, Dr. Ningappa Arabagonda, and his qualifications. Statistics on book procurement over five years and the breakdown of books by subject are presented.
The document discusses the impact of user education programs at the University of Jaffna library. It finds that the library saw a 20% increase in visitor numbers after implementing orientation sessions, exhibitions, and improvements to existing systems. Surveys found students had higher levels of information literacy and appreciated the additional education. The library also saw greater collaboration with other university departments. The results suggest user education programs are effective at increasing library engagement and developing information literacy skills.
Electronic Resources Management(ERM): Issues and ChallengesDr Trivedi
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of digital libraries and electronic resources. It notes that technological advances have transformed libraries' collections from print-based to e-books and e-journals. However, many libraries have not fully implemented electronic resource management systems to help organize and provide access to these digital collections. The document outlines several benefits of electronic resources like being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and allowing remote access, as well as challenges like high initial costs, requiring technical skills, and addressing copyright and security issues.
This document discusses and compares various library automation software packages, including both commercial and open source options. It provides descriptions of popular commercial software like TLSS, SOUL, and LIBSYS, as well as open source options such as Koha and Newgenlib. The document outlines the features and modules included in each program. In conclusion, it states that while no single software is best for all libraries, automation is now essential and open source options provide flexibility.
This document summarizes a panel discussion on technology skills needed for 21st century law librarians. The panelists discussed skills such as coding, social media use, customizing library websites, creating digital repositories, mobile access, and keeping current on new technologies. They emphasized the importance of collaboration between librarians and IT staff. Panelists also noted that librarians need strong research skills in addition to technical skills, and that willingness to learn and adapt is key for career development in this changing environment.
We Define AI as anything that makes machines act more intelligently
We like to think of AI as augmented intelligence
We believe that AI should not attempt to replace human experts, but rather extend human capabilities and accomplish tasks that neither humans nor machines could do on their own.
The internet has given us access to more information, faster.
Distributed computing and IoT have led to massive amounts of data.
Social networking has encouraged most of that data to be unstructured.
With Augmented Intelligence, we are putting information that subject matter experts need at their fingertips, and backing it with evidence so they can make informed decisions.
We want experts to scale their capabilities and let the machines do the time-consuming work.
This document discusses how AI could shape future integrations. It begins by explaining different types of tasks that AI can perform, such as those that can be precisely explained versus those requiring examples and feedback to learn. The document then covers benefits of AI like speed, lower costs, and ability to learn and extrapolate. It discusses using AI for cost savings, competitive advantages, and new revenue streams through insights. Challenges of AI like lack of data and skilled professionals are presented along with risks such as bias, privacy issues, and how mistakes can be more harmful than for humans. Various use cases of AI in integration are explored such as enhancing inputs, security, and automatic integration. The document concludes that AI will create many new integration opportunities
The purpose of this workshop was to highlight the the significance of AI, IoT and their integration under the light of scientific research. The presentation of the workshop can be found below.
Stephen Abram gave a presentation on the 2014 technology forecast for libraries. He discussed several emerging technologies that libraries should explore, including crowdfunding platforms, eLearning/MOOCs, makerspaces, video production, analytics-driven strategies, streaming media, mobility, discovery systems, social media as content, relationship management for patron data, and addressing "born digital" materials that were never published in print. Abram emphasized that libraries need to embrace change, think about sustainability and scalability, take risks, and tell their own stories in order to remain relevant in an evolving technological landscape.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence through learning, reasoning and interacting with their environments. The document discusses the history and definitions of AI, types of AI including narrow, general and super AI, how AI works using artificial neural networks and algorithms, benefits like reducing human risk but also drawbacks like costs and job disruption. Examples of AI in use include predictive search in Google, personalized recommendations in Netflix using viewing history, and spam filtering in Gmail's inbox.
Generative Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity - LIR HEAnet User G...Thomas Lancaster
This presentation for academic librarians considering the impact of ChatGPT and generative artificial intelligence was presented at the “We Need To Talk About AI” event on 7 June 2023. They consider the strengths of limitations of generative AI and the discussions that librarians should be having with students and other educational stakeholders.
Shared data and the future of librariesRegan Harper
Big data refers to large amounts of diverse data that are growing exponentially due to increased digital activity. Shared data connects these disparate sources of information through linking related data points. This allows data to be reused, corrected efficiently, and shared in potentially useful ways. For libraries, big data could include patron records, bibliographic data, and more. Linked data in particular supports library goals by making information reusable, correctable, and shareable across systems through relationships between data. However, privacy and potential misuse of inferences from big data are ongoing concerns that must be addressed.

How We Added Replication to QuestDB - JonTheBeachjavier ramirez
Building a database that can beat industry benchmarks is hard work, and we had to use every trick in the book to keep as close to the hardware as possible. In doing so, we initially decided QuestDB would scale only vertically, on a single instance.
A few years later, data replication —for horizontally scaling reads and for high availability— became one of the most demanded features, especially for enterprise and cloud environments. So, we rolled up our sleeves and made it happen.
Today, QuestDB supports an unbounded number of geographically distributed read-replicas without slowing down reads on the primary node, which can ingest data at over 4 million rows per second.
In this talk, I will tell you about the technical decisions we made, and their trade offs. You'll learn how we had to revamp the whole ingestion layer, and how we actually made the primary faster than before when we added multi-threaded Write Ahead Logs to deal with data replication. I'll also discuss how we are leveraging object storage as a central part of the process. And of course, I'll show you a live demo of high-performance multi-region replication in action.

1. AI and Libraries
Presented by: Yasser Ayyash to Dr. Farah Sbayte
Digital Services in Data Centers and Archives
Master2- 22/23
3. Introducing AI
• Let us start with a fact: There is really no intelligence in “Artificial
Intelligence”.
• AI resembles much more a “mindless robot” and much less a
“thinking machine”.
• In a whitepaper published titled ‘Artificial Intelligence in the Library:
Advantages, Challenges and Tradition’ Machine learning is defined to
be “AI technologies and applications are all based on machine
learning algorithms.”
• But After decades of hype, AI (artificial intelligence) has arrived.
4. Definition
• AI is the theory and development of computer systems that can
perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as:
• Visual perception
• Speech recognition
• Decision-making
• Translation
• Interpretation.
- Oxford Dictionary
5. • AI has rapidly developed thanks to:
• Better algorithm design
• Bigger networked computing power
• and Improved ability to capture and store massive amounts of data.
7. • Current forms of AI are considered to be narrow or weak, designed to
perform one repetitive task such as:
• Speech recognition on mobile devices
• Self-driving cars
• Many researchers are seeking to develop what is known as general or
strong AI, with behaviors that are as flexible and skillful as humans
(such as memory, autonomous learning and responding to
emotions).
8. Are libraries ready to embrace AI
technologies?
• Where do we start?
With the rapid integration of computer, network technology, communication
technology, The emergence of the digital library shouldn’t be separable.
Digital library is not only a new development in science, but also
a new branch of electronics.
People are moving around digital information.
They no longer want to receive information through text (physically), but
transmit data through the Internet.
Due to the huge amount of Internet data, how to obtain more, better, more
accurate, timely, and useful information from it has become a problem that
people care about.
9. You can ask Google, Alexa, Cortana, Watson, or Siri—but will
you be able to ask your local library?
• We value libraries because they keep us
• Informed
• Connected
• We read to
• Enrich our lives
• Inform our decisions
But what happens when that decision-making process is fundamentally
changed?
10. Libraries may yet have a critical role to play in the
AI revolution
• Today’s mainstream AIs are dominated by proprietary software. Apple, Microsoft,
Google, Facebook, and other major tech players all have their own AIs.
• These companies have invested heavily in research and development, and they
have guarded their intellectual property closely.
• The algorithms that give rise to machine learning are mostly kept secret, and the
code that results from machine learning is often so complex that even the human
developers don’t understand exactly how their code works.
• So even if you wanted to know what AI was thinking, you would be out of luck.
But if AI is a black box for which we have no key, Libraries can play an
important role in providing open source AI solutions that allow for more
transparency and more control.
11. • Libraries can help lower the barriers to AI by:
• Producing,
• Providing,
• and promoting
open source AI projects.
• By supporting open source AI, libraries can ensure that researchers can
access powerful systems that are free from corporate bias. Because Alexa is
happy to answer your questions—and to sell you a subscription to Amazon
Prime.
12. • Information literacy is about:
• knowing when there is a need for information
• being able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information
• I think it is safe to say that AI is capable of superior information literacy.
• What’s worse, recent events (Political influence, claims of fake news, etc.)
have illustrated just how bad humans are at assessing the accuracy of the
things we read.
• Dependence on AI information literacy will lead to a weakening of our own.
• But if it is important to critically evaluate information sources, it will be
doubly important (but more difficult) to evaluate our AI information
providers and decision makers.
• As we have seen in recent years, minor changes to a dataset or algorithm
can greatly alter our digital experiences. Google has been accused of
favoring its own products and services over those of its competitors.
13. Why Libraries?
We are using AI every day.
• For example, when we search Google, we are feeding data to RankBrain—an AI system
that helps sort through search results.
With machine learning, a computer teaches itself to do something rather than following
detailed programming.
Libraries promote data privacy.
• They don’t give out library records
• They don’t track web users, etc.
But they will need a new set of sophisticated tools if they’re going to truly be
champions of privacy rights in the coming decades.
Libraries can help secure privacy by providing anonymous ways of
interacting with AI systems.
14. • Books don’t talk—but your AI assistant listens and talks.
• If you asked your AI home assistant how to murder someone or if you
asked it to read a post by an anti-government activist, you could
potentially be producing a trail of evidence that could be used against
you. Maybe you were writing an episode of CSI. Whatever your
reason for seeking that information, your queries were being
recorded and saved.
• As our primary means of gaining information moves from reading
printed words to interacting with machine intelligences, we must
ensure that the same safeguards we use to protect books are
extended to AI.
15. Concluding
• From intellectual freedom to information literacy and more, libraries
provide a set of principles that have helped guide intellectual growth
for the past century.
• But libraries are not the center of the information world anymore
• What steps can we take to ensure that the values of librarianship are
incorporated into AI systems?
• Advocacy should be directed not at maintaining traditional
librarianship, but moving towards the emerging information systems
that may come to replace us.
16. When I say, in my title, “Everything is data, except when
it isn’t” I’m saying that try as we might, we cannot
reduce our cultural experience, our scientific discoveries,
or our lived experience to a set of data points.
But I am also saying —to libraries in particular— that,
"Except when it isn’t" — when we keep in mind that we
cannot capture everything as data — it is nonetheless
critical that we embrace the fact that just about
everything in our holdings can be made computational
and doing that work will benefit libraries while also
advancing the creation of new knowledge.
When we convert our library collections to machine-
readable data the result will be something very different
than the original and many decisions have to be
accounted for along the way.
