SUMMARY:VT Humanities: The Many Meanings of Maple
DESCRIPTION:Description: A Vermont Humanities Council series hosted by the Hartland Public Library (Windsor County.) \nThis presentation examines the many meanings of maple sugaring. Maple is enormously important to Vermont’s economy\, ecology\, and heritage. Champlain College professor Michael Lange will discuss sugaring ethnographically\, based on over five years of research among sugarmakers all over the state\, to learn from them what sugaring really means to Vermont.Rather than discussing the practical aspects of sugaring\, such as how to tap a tree or how an evaporator works\, his talk focuses on how and why maple has become so important to Vermont’s identity\, and how and why it helps us shape who we are as Vermonters.

DESCRIPTION:Part 1 of a 3-part webinar series on sustainable fashion and textiles. The global fashion industry is a system of production processes creating clothing\, a human need.  To understand how fashion production operates is essential to seeing the scope and complexity of the problems.  In the first of the series of webinars\, we will learn how our clothes are made from the basic fiber to a garment. As we learn about the diverse production stages\, we will identify detrimental behaviors which are negatively affecting the environment and people.  Kelly McDowell \, MA in Social Innovation and Sustainability\, will explore these concepts with knowledge and experience from her past career in fashion production in NYC.

SUMMARY:[Zoom] Clothing is Agriculture: Hemp Fiber Production in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Part 3 of a 3-part webinar series on sustainable fashion and textiles. There is so much ingenuity built in to fiber technology of the past that sometimes it starts to look like poetry. A far cry from the visuals of polluted rivers and toxic workplaces elicited by the Global Fast Fashion Crisis we find ourselves in today. What kind of Culture are we creating with all we have learned on earth and the resources we have left? Natural Fiber is the seamless technology of a closed-loop future and circular time. In this third and final webinar of the series\, fiber artist and farmer Laura Sullivan will share the journey of growing Hemp for fiber on the UVM extension research farm and what it would take to scale and industry in our region.

SUMMARY:Empowering Libraries and Students: Leveraging AI as a Transformative Tool
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Miranda Axworthy\, Reference and Teaching Resources Librarian and Susan M. Currier\, Faculty Librarian\, Vermont State Colleges \nThis online program is free for VLA College & Special Libraries Section members. Special thanks to VCAL for sponsoring this event. \nRegister now to receive the link with access to a recording if you are not able to attend live. \nArtificial Intelligence\, with its evolving capabilities\, significantly impacts library operations and can enhance the learning experience for students. Teaching students how to ethically and effectively use AI is crucial in today’s educational landscape. By integrating AI as a supportive tool in libraries\, we enhance learning experiences and prepare students for a world increasingly shaped by AI technologies. \nIn this context\, Miranda and Susan will demonstrate how they have used crucial AI functions in their libraries: \n\nAiding in social media content creation through platforms like Canva and ChatGPT.\nStreamlining academic title searches using tools such as Google Scholar and Bing Chat Copilot.\nsummarizing complex information efficiently with tools like PI.AI and GPT-3.\nfacilitating the creation of outlines and lesson plans through platforms like ChatGPT.\n\nOur presenters will also discuss the importance of emphasizing the need for transparency in AI usage\, ensuring students are familiar with the mechanisms\, biases\, and limitations of AI. This knowledge equips students with essential skills for future careers in a world where AI integration is becoming increasingly prevalent.
