A review of the framework for inquiry learning in your school (Guided Inquiry
Design Process). Web tools for classroom or professional use to support inquiry learning.
This presentation summarizes research exploring how the concept of a library collection is changing in the digital world. Interviews with librarians, researchers, and social enterprise professionals revealed three common definitions of a collection: as a process of selection and organization; as a stored body of materials on a subject; and as access to resources. Surveys of these groups found shared understandings of a collection but also differences in views of collection policies and selection methods. The researcher concludes that collections need to be interpreted dynamically given the impact of digital materials on issues like global access, personalization, and lack of physical limits.
The document provides an overview of business research. It discusses what business research is, how it differs from other types of systems, and trends affecting the field. The research process is introduced along with characteristics of good research and different types of studies. Business research aims to inform decisions, reduce risk, and help organizations respond to change. Various internal and external sources of research are also outlined.

The age of librarians toiling away in dust and silence is long over - if it ever existed at all. Librarians are in touch with different groups almost constantly, and librarianship today requires some serious communication skills. Whether it's other librarians, administrators, users, publishers or vendors, librarians have to juggle several different vocabularies to make sure they're communicating as clearly as possible.
We'd like to draw on our sales, publishing, usability and web design experience to help build some guidelines and answer questions about communicating with some of these groups. This seminar will focus specifically on communicating with publishers, vendors and users, but we'd love to hear what you have to say about communication in libraries!
Responsive and Responsible Use of Digital Resources for Research Shang Genon-Sieras
This document discusses responsive and responsible use of digital resources for research. It outlines changes in the research process due to digital technologies, such as diverse online tools and formats. However, some aspects remain unchanged, like research being cyclical, time-intensive, and cumulative. The document suggests four strategies: choosing appropriate resources; properly evaluating resources; citing sources correctly using styles like APA or MLA; and reading for understanding how sources relate to the research topic and each other. Responsible research requires using sources ethically by paraphrasing, quoting, and citing work to avoid plagiarism and add credibility.
The document discusses using Wikipedia to improve science outreach and communication. It provides examples of how researchers can contribute to Wikipedia by writing overview articles on their fields of research, providing detailed explanations of concepts, and ensuring articles have updated references. The document outlines things for researchers to consider when contributing, such as audience and language. It also provides tips for writing for Wikipedia, including following syntax conventions and writing in a factual tone.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
