Introduction to Robotic Process Automation
With all the excitement surrounding AI and machine learning, have you ever wondered how they could help you with your day to day tasks? Way before AI, there was robot automation. It is common in manufacturing plants to deploy robots to carry out tedious, repetitive task that challenges human boredom. Sometimes, those tasks can even become dangerous. In the software world, we have similar automation. It is known as RPA - Robotic Process Automation.
Through the use of intelligent software, we could automate tedious tasks such as compiling records and accounts, creating basic business logic of tasks branches based on standard input. Our speaker, Pang Jing Xiang an Intern @ Digital Learning Hub will share how RPA helps to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

LKCMedicine’s Medical Library is actively engaging students to develop their digital literacy skills which involves information literacy and exploring useful digital solutions to help students in their learning journey.
One such digital solution is Leganto, a reading list management system which allows the faculty to curate learning resources and share them with students. Additionally, faculty can improve the recommended reading lists by leveraging student feedback, usage analysis, and automated or library-initiated recommendations of related content. Through analytics and reports, faculty and/or educators can gain insights into the materials that students use and adjust course content accordingly. Leganto handles the copyright clearance which allows faculty and librarians to work together to manage educational resources in a much effective way for students. For aid with research works, Leganto can be used to import citations from reference managers such as EndNote/Mendeley/Zotero which enables all users to add citations directly to a personal citation repository. Students can readily access reading lists on Leganto that is directly automated to NTU library’s Alma and Primo systems, collaborate with their peers, and create a personal repository of resources.
About the speakers: Ms Rebecca David, Manager of the Medical Library at LKCMedicine will share on the benefits of using Leganto and how faculty engagement becomes critical to foster meaningful learning platforms for medical students. Participants will also get a view of the Leganto system by Mr Vincent Wong, Librarian from NTU Library on its use for NTU course reserves. The webinar is made possible by LKCMedicine Digital Learning.
