Science fiction and why it's great (by Bennett R. Coles)Nur Agustinus
Science fiction isn’t just about exploring the far reaches of our knowledge – it pushes past that and inspires us not only to think hard, but to think new. Science fiction writers are artists, inspired by scientific reality but driven by their imaginations, and it’s their dreaming that in turn inspires scientists to ask questions, to take risks, and to create wondrous new things. And even for those of us who aren’t scientists, science fiction forces us to keep our brains engaged, to stay curious and to think about things beyond the latest celebrity scandal or playoff game. Science fiction keeps us smart, and that’s why it’s great.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for libraries to provide mobile content access. It notes that 89% of respondents to a survey want to be able to study anywhere. While mobile apps provide benefits like access to device features, they have high development costs and requirements. Mobile websites have lower costs but also limitations. The document considers whether libraries should offer content through websites or apps and which platforms to support to meet users' increasing demand for mobile access.
This document presents the findings of a baseline survey conducted in Bangladesh to establish baseline values for indicators under USAID's Development Objective 1: Citizen Confidence in Governance Institutions Increased.

The document describes a meeting between consultants Joe and Ann and a client where they discussed adopting an Agile development process. However, the client was resistant to change and preferred their current process, causing tensions. Key points of disagreement included the client not feeling their current process was a problem, rejecting practices like pair programming and test-driven development, and wanting to keep their existing testing and documentation processes. The meeting ended poorly without a clear resolution.

Library of Alexandria - the scientific method was first conceived and put
into practice. Text writing, criticisms and publications for scholars,
royalty and wealthy bibliophiles the world over. This commerce
brings income to the library.
The library was a home to a host of
international scholars, well-
patronized by the Ptolemaic
dynasty with travel, lodging and
stipends for their whole families.
As a research institution, the
Library filled its stacks with new
works in mathematics, astronomy,
physics, natural sciences and other
subjects.
