Horizon Report, 2016 Higher Education Edition - Part 2
Thursday, March 17, 2016
9:00 pm Eastern / 6:00 pm Pacific
Led by @PFAnderson
Second of three weeks on the Horizon Report. Last week we talked about immediate attention/action issues. This is the "getting edgy" week.
Mid-Term Impact Trends: Driving Ed Tech adoption in higher education for three to five years
> Redesigning Learning Spaces, p.12
> Shift to Deeper Learning Approaches, p.14
Difficult Challenges: Those that we understand but for which solutions are elusive
> Competing Models of Education, p.26
> Personalizing Learning, p.28
Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
> Augmented and Virtual Reality, p.40
> Makerspaces, p.42
Be ready to discuss these topics and possible solutions and uses your institution have implemented with available technologies and other resources you've utilized.
March 24th, when we go to the "far out," will be led by @KR_Barker who will discuss items of interest expected to arise in the next 4-5 years. I hope you'll be able to join us over the next few chats as we dissect The Horizon Report, 2016 Higher Education Edition.

Data Management Chat

Some Implications of Data Management
Thursday, March 3, 2016
9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific Time
Led by Patricia Devine (@pat_devine)
Special Guest Betsy Rolland (@betsyrolland)
"The absence of an incentive to share seems about to change. The proposal by the medical editors outlines an approach that would require: a data-sharing policy when the study is started; a commitment to share within six months of publication; and that those who use the data acknowledge those who produced it."
Data Management plans and the idea of data sharing are growing in popularity and by in some cases required by policy. What are some of the social and technology issues around sharing and reusing data? How will the infrastructure be developed? Who will develop the guidance?
Join us and special guest Betsy Rolland, PhD, MLIS, MPH, National Cancer Institute Cancer Prevention Fellow and proponent of team science (betsyrolland.com) to discuss data management from a researcher’s perspective. Currently there is little crossover between the scientific literature community and the social science literature community, yet both groups are implicated in the data sharing future.
Some questions to consider:

Currently there is little crossover between the scientific literature community and the social science literature community, yet both groups are implicated in the data sharing future.
Some questions to consider:
- Who are all the interested parties who should be at the table to discuss the development of data management plans?
- Where will all the data be kept?
- Who will pay for the data storage and the time it takes to answer questions?
- Will each research group have to negotiate data use agreements/authorship?
- What are some of the challenges of data reuse? Will the original study have the right to refuse the new analyses? What if the new analyses used the data incorrectly? Will participants need to be re-consented?

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
We are engaged in a profession and
typically work for organizations that are committed to lifelong learning. On
Thursday, February 25, #medlibs are gathering on Twitter to talk about education.
Here are
some questions that we may discuss.
- If you were to enter graduate school today, knowing how you would work today, what courses do you believe graduate schools of library and information science should be teaching now?
- What do you need to learn now to be more successful in your current position?
- What do you need to learn now to move into your dream job?
- What intangible skills or knowledge does it take to be effective as a librarian in your organization?
- If you supervise, what skills and knowledge do you believe are lacking in new graduates?
- What do you want to learn now?
- What are your learning goals and how do you achieve them?
Some articles related to trends in
libraries and education.

Genetics Information Chat
Thursday, February 18, 2016
9:00 pm Eastern/6:00 pm Pacific time
Led by Amy Donahue (@ultimatelibrarn)
The field of genetics is fascinating and huge. Although the Human Genome Project waaay back in 2001 came to the surprising conclusion that there are only 20,000-25,000 genes within the DNA of the human genome (roughly the same number as a mouse), the past few years have seen an explosion of knowledge that our genes are just the tip of the iceberg. That tip is still rather literally the tip of an iceberg and so is pretty freaking big - take, for example, that we now know we have genes that can be alternatively spliced, shredding the idea of one gene --> one protein. It's also been proven that some genes can literally move from chromosome to chromosome; these fun guys are called transposons or "jumping genes". And then epigenetics and the death of the idea of "junk" (non-protein coding - doesn't mean it's junk!) DNA are making things even more complicated.Oh, and of course, by definition every living thing has a genome, and there are plenty of people doing research outside of the human context. Did you know that prokaryotes have DNA that's being translated at the same time it's being transcribed? Or that there are frogs with 12 sets of chromosomes (humans have 2)? What about those pesky viruses? Yep, they have genomes, too, even if they aren't quite living.Talk about information overload. Luckily, #medlibs are pros at dealing with that issue, and this chat is one of the tools at our disposal. And we were told we should be doing this stuff even before the rough draft of the human genome was available. Obviously, there are a lot of ways this conversation can go, but a few places we might be able to get started include:
- What genetic questions are #medlibs being asked, and how have you answered?
- What are some good resources for consumer-level information on genetics?
- What are SNPs/"variants of uncertain significance"/polymorphisms/
insert your favorite not-quite-understood genetic term here?
This conversation can be patient/human disease driven, but even the crazy-out-there bacterial genome studies are of relevance to human health (heard of the microbiome yet?), so come with any and all genetic lines of thought, and we'll see where we go!
Some resources to get us started:
- Need some background on basic genetics? Try the University of Utah or Columbia University
- Become familiar with the many genetic resources provided by NCBI (of note: ClinVar and the Genetic Testing Registry)
- Be sure to also check out the really helpful "How To" list for things like how to find genes associated with a disease.
- NLM's Genetics Home Reference may sometimes leave something to be desired, but it's still where many genetic counselors start.
- Goodbye Junk DNA! (Article - the ENCODE project is good to know about)
- Into social media? Of course you are! Check out the hashtags and people to follow. (You do have to sort through the conferences. #GCchat is the genetic counseling version of #medlibs! There's also a Genetic Counseling Twitter list.)
- If you really want to start digging into this stuff professionally, I do really recommend the in-person "Librarian's Guide to NCBI" - keep your eyes out for calls to register, and in the meantime check out archived materials, other NCBI training and watch for things from your local NN/LM site!
