Basic Smart Search allows users to search library resources more effectively. The acting faculty librarian for community and health sciences, Gerald Louw, oversees this service. This brief document expresses appreciation for the reader's time.
WorldCat Local is a basic smart search tool that allows users to search library collections. Gerald Louw, the Acting Faculty Librarian for Community and Health Sciences, introduced the new search tool. Louw thanked the audience for their time at the end of the presentation on WorldCat Local.
The document provides guidance on citing a chapter from an edited book in APA style. It includes an example reference for a chapter titled "Health promoting schools: Lessons from Avondale Primary School" written by multiple authors, included in the book "Addressing childhood adversity" edited by Donald, Dawes, and Louw, published in 2000 in Cape Town by David Phillip. The reference includes information on the chapter authors, chapter title, book editors, book title, year of publication, page numbers, and publisher location and name.
The document summarizes the main roles and tasks of faculty librarians, including: liaison and relationship building with academic departments; developing and managing collections; providing research support and subject-based information services; building information literacy among staff and students; engaging in research activities to prepare for future roles. Key responsibilities involve communication, collection development, research guidance, and instruction.
This document discusses smart search capabilities. The author, Gerald Louw, presents information on advanced search functions that can understand context and meaning. Smart search aims to go beyond traditional keyword searches by incorporating artificial intelligence to better understand users' needs and return more relevant results.
Ecp 11 created by hedley. hendricks and presented by gerald LouwGerald Louw
This document provides information on information literacy for ECP. It defines information literacy as the ability to recognize the value of information and use it to make informed choices. An information literate person has library skills like understanding subject categories and computer skills to navigate library and internet resources. The 5 steps of information literacy are recognizing the need for information, critically thinking about a topic, reading and taking notes, defining keywords, and finding information. Tools for finding information include the library catalog, databases, and the web. Tasks that require information literacy include writing assignments, presenting, and designing posters or brochures. The document demonstrates how to search the UWC library website and databases to locate information. It also provides guidance on evaluating information and referencing sources
This document provides instructions for searching an eJournal. It instructs the user to click on the eJournal search option, then click again to select the name of the journal they wish to search. Finally, the user is asked to select the database within which to search for the chosen journal.
Web 2.0, web searching and web based catalogueGerald Louw
This document discusses web-based catalogues and how they have evolved with web searching trends. It describes how library resources can now be accessed remotely through web-based online public access catalogs (OPACs). The document also provides details on the functions and search methods of the University of the Western Cape library's web-based ALEPH catalogue, which is part of the CALICO agreement and indexes holdings in OCLC's WorldCat Local and Sabinet. It concludes that libraries must meet users' information needs by bringing resources to users online.

Credo Reference is an online reference database that can be accessed through the University of the Western Cape (UWC) library website. The document aims to show users how to find and search Credo Reference, including how to conduct advanced searches, narrow results, and share or reference articles. Users can search Credo Reference by term and filter results by resource type or referencing style.
RefWorks is a citation management tool that allows users to search for references, organize them into folders, create bibliographies, and cite references in various styles. Key functions include searching for references, creating and naming folders to organize references, selecting a referencing style to generate bibliographies, adding new references by selecting a format and filling in required fields, and citing references to include in papers. The tool helps users manage and cite research sources.

Strategies like cited reference searching, building block searches, and pearl growing can aid research.
Jesse Hauk Shera was an influential library philosopher born in 1903. He received degrees in English and a doctorate in library science. Shera held several positions including at the University of Chicago library and was also an editor. He published extensively over his career. Shera developed the philosophy of social epistemology, which views knowledge as a social construct that libraries help shape. His belief that libraries mediate between users and information sources helped establish the theoretical foundations for the field. While technology has changed, Shera's view that libraries play a role in supporting knowledge creation in society remains highly relevant today.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
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.
