Why Ireland needs a CONUL Union Catalogue, Eoin McCarneyCONUL Conference
Eoin McCarney argues that Ireland needs a CONUL union catalogue to share resources and collections across libraries. A union catalogue would allow for collaborative storage, collection management, digitization and collection development. It could move most print collections to shared management in a few years. By 2027, the collections of each library may effectively belong to all libraries. However, collaboration also presents challenges related to workload, costs, and ensuring access.

Top Universities, Top LibrariesDo Research Services in Academic LibrariesCo...Llarina González Solar
University context is nowadays mostly characterized by the implementation of competitiveness and cost-effectiveness criteria. There are two main characteristics of the new management model: a new relevancy to the university funding and the predominance of the research criteria as excellence indicator. Evidence of the growing role of research in universities are the parameters to rank the excellence of higher education institutions, such as ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities) of the University of Shangai, SIR (SCImago Institutions Rankings) or the THE (Times Higher Education World University Rankings). The research orientation also imposes to the academic library, with the growing implementation of services to support research. Evidences are at last reports about trends in academic libraries by ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries), especially at the latest edition: The 2015 Environmental Scan of Academics Libraries. The international survey Bridging the Librarian- Faculty Gap in the Academic Library (2015) also emphasizes the greater impact and relevance of the academic library to research, stressing the perception of the library as essential in this process. This paper tries to establish a connection between excellent universities and the research oriented services by their libraries. Our research hypothesis is: the universities at the top of the rankings have libraries that provide excellent services to support research processes. Ten of the top universities at the ARWU and Times rankings are used as sample and their libraries services analyzed. As research method we used the observation of the selected libraries webpages, with a checklist where the most relevant services to support research processes are identified.

This presentation discusses the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project, which aims to increase access to education through open educational resources and practices. It notes that while open education promises to widen participation, there is little evidence it has transformed education or increased lifelong learning in reality due to barriers like digital literacy. However, OEPS is developing open online courses and a community hub to support collaborative learning and scaffold support. By taking a social practice approach and engaging stakeholders, OEPS hopes to demonstrate how open education can be leveraged to fulfill its promise of increasing access to education.
The CCCOER Executive Board meeting covered the following topics in 3 sentences or less:

The document discusses how libraries can support researchers in developing competitive grant applications by leveraging open science expertise and priorities. It proposes that the library collaborate closely with the university research office to provide tailored training, consultation, and proposal review services associated with specific funding calls that emphasize open science and research data management. By screening calls for these opportunities and organizing grant writing clinics with past successful applicants, the library can help improve the quality of proposals and researchers' chances of receiving funding.
The Needs of stakeholders in the RDM process - the role of LEARNLEARN Project
Presentation at 3rd LEARN workshop on Research Data Management, “Make research data management policies work”
Helsinki, 28 June 2016, by Martin Moyle/Paul Ayris, UCL Library Services
The document discusses plans to redesign the library spaces at Whitefriars College. It provides context about previous consultation efforts with students, staff, and parents. Key considerations for the redesign include aligning with the school's mission/values and supporting innovative learning.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
