Teaching The Teachers
Presentation at New England Library Instruction Group, 12/5/08, describing collaboration between UMass Amherst Libraries and Writing Program to deliver information literacy instruction to first-year university students.
Opening Doors with Open Source
Presentation given at Dartmouth October Conference, October 15, 2010, by Emily Alling and Amber Johnson Hunt. Discusses the use of open source tools (Koha, CUFTS, Ubuntu, Zotero) in teaching and outreach at Marlboro College's Rice-Aron Library.
Evaluating Web 2.0
This study surveyed 99 users of a public library's blogs to understand how the blogs were being used. It found that while 40 users had directly accessed at least one blog, many more users were accessing blog content indirectly through the library's homepage or RSS/email feeds. Over 60% of blog users read multiple blogs. The study also revealed the importance of the library homepage in disseminating blog content, with 63% of respondents having read blog feeds on the homepage, even if they did not directly access the blogs. This "hidden" usage of blogs suggests they are an effective way to regularly update and feed content to the library homepage.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.
