A recent report from The Chronicle of Higher Education on “Views on Academic Innovation” (with a teaser video) caught my attention. Given the forces at work in library scholarship and practice, innovation is one of those topics that I always consider, especially in the context of higher education. Overall, the report (which is really a summary of a round table discussion) brought together several different academic leaders to discuss a number of issues influencing change and innovation on campuses. There were several points made that are particularly relevant to academic libraries, not just as issues with which libraries are struggling but also as potential opportunities for libraries to engage with the larger campus efforts: the barriers to collaboration, the traditional incentives that undermine innovation, and the external forces that provoke a reactive rather than a thoughtful, planned approach.

How much has the world around us changed for the past year? What kinds of societal shifts have occurred in some spheres such as sociological research, secondary and higher education, management, journalism, interpersonal communication or social work? What other kinds of transformation is society likely to undergo in the near future? These were the questions that both participants in and guests of the 14th annual conference in memory of Natalia Panina (1949–2006) sought to answer. The conference, also known as the International Sociological Readings, took place on 10 December 2020 and was hosted by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Structurally, the event consisted of two parts: a plenary session and a round-table discussion. At the plenary session, four speeches were delivered: “Survey techniques during the pandemic” (V. Paniotto), “Social inequality and extraordinary events” (S. Makeev and N. Kovalisko), “Higher education in times of and post-COVID-19” (V. Bakirov and M. Aharkov), “COVID-19: New daily routines of Ukrainian teachers, students and parents” (O. Maksymenko). The round-table discussion titled “Society and pandemic” was open to everyone interested. They could join the discussion via Google Meet. The Readings ended with the presentation of a book “Separate sociological approximations” authored by Serhii Makeev.

Chairman Osborne: The material which we will cover will be material which must be spoken about in terms of groups of people, types of individuals and different classifications of diagnosis. We will lose a great deal of the effect of what we have to discuss if we get off on a small subject connected with an individual case, so I hope we can refrain from citing specific cases. You all recognize that we can't make progress if any of us are going to present specific individual problems on a specific case. Fortunately we have some disagreement among members of the panel for where everyone agrees there is a lack of interest, especially in the field of cutaneous diseases, and particularly in the eczematous diseases. If we seem to disagree it is because the material calls for disagreement and the literature backs us up on that disagreement. We are going to start with the general phase of the subject: the care of the skin of the newborn. I am going to ask Dr. Norman Ross to discuss the care of the skin of the newborn from the standpoint of the pediatrician. Dr. Ross: In these newborn infants overzealous cleaning of the baby and too much anxiety on the part of the nurse following birth is apt to do far more harm than good. The baby when born has a membranous covering that should not be too thoroughly and vigorously removed. Soap is not advisable. Plain water will remove sufficient of it and, in fact, delay of thorough bathing of the infant for a few days would probably be advisable.
