AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY
Once the excitement of creating a new journal has waned and publication has begun, a new challenge arises in sustainability. Augusta University first published their undergraduate research journal, Arsenal, through their institutional repository managed by the University Libraries in 2016. The Arsenal (ISSN 2380-5064 online) is a peer-reviewed, open-access interdisciplinary publication that is dedicated to publishing manuscripts resulting from Augusta University undergraduate research. Each paper published in the Arsenal undergoes a peer review process facilitated by the journal‘s Student Editorial Review Board and must be approved by an appointed faculty reviewer in the paper’s respective discipline. It is a student-run journal sponsored by the Center for Undergraduate Research & Scholarship (CURS) and published and managed by the University Libraries. The Arsenal serves as a great impetus for developing careers of nascent researchers.
Since the journal’s first publication in 2016, however, several unanticipated factors arose that have influenced continued publication. Some of these factors include changes on the student editorial board, faculty turnover, research agendas for mentoring faculty, and IRB requirements. Librarians from Augusta University will discuss some of the challenges that arose since initial publication and how the library adapted to these challenges. They will also discuss ways the library is bridging gaps to ensure continued publication of the journal, such as increasing marketing and promotion of the Arsenal to faculty and students, as well as developing further relationships with student organizations to ensure the Arsenal’s student-centered focus.

Open Access in the World of Scholarly Journals: creation and discoveryNASIG
Access to scholarly journals produced by commercial publishers is becoming more and more expensive, and open access to publicly-funded research results is increasingly mandated by funding bodies. In response to these and other motivators, the open access scholarly journal movement is growing. In the Canadian context, open access publishing has begun to get more traction in response to these factors, and in spite of some resistance by researchers. University and college libraries are getting involved in both the promotion and the creation of open access content. An example of this is the University of Lethbridge Journal Incubator, which publishes three open access journals from the University Library. We will explore some of the benefits and drawbacks of open access in scholarly communications.
One model of open access is the hybrid journal, which causes particular challenges for discovery and access. With access restricted at the article, rather than the journal level, it's surprisingly hard to get library users to OA content through catalogs, link resolvers, or even discovery tools. Chris will investigate some of the roadblocks and consult with publishers, librarians, and service providers to see what is currently being done to overcome this challenge. Are readers currently getting to OA content in hybrid journals through library systems and sites? Is the NISO License and Access Indicators Recommended Practice likely to change current practices? How are discovery tool vendors responding to this challenge? Can service providers outside of the traditional library content and software sector have an impact? After investigating all of these angles Chris will try to determine if there is a likely way forward and share what attendees can do to improve access to Hybrid OA journals in the short and long term.
Sandra Cowan is the liaison librarian for English, Modern Languages, Religious Studies and the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. She has research interests in digital humanities, scholarly communications, and research methods of creative workers.

His research has focused on perpetual access, e-resource evaluation, and the effect of Open Access on collection development and e-resource management. He writes a column on OA issues in the Serials Review, and he is an incoming NASIG Member at Large.
Trevor Hoag is an Assistant Professor of English and Co-Director of the Digital Humanities Minor at Christopher Newport University. He received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Texas at Austin, where he specialized in rhetoric, digital literacies, and literature. His research and teaching interests include rhetoric, memory, forgetting, digital humanities, and writing.

This document summarizes strategies for libraries to integrate into university internationalization and intercultural outreach efforts. It recommends that libraries 1) integrate into existing campus cultural programs and events by attending, volunteering, and offering library services aligned with program objectives, 2) seek partners to co-host international programs by sharing responsibilities and designing mutually beneficial programs, and 3) offer independent library programs and collections like language learning software and workshops for international students to directly serve international communities on campus. The strategies aim to make libraries an essential part of the university's goal of preparing students to be ready for the world.
Think globally service locally part 1 lit rev of intl students and lib useVirginia Pannabecker
The document summarizes recent literature on international students' library use. It finds that while international student populations are increasing at U.S. universities, there are still gaps in language proficiency and cultural understanding of library resources. International students desire targeted library instruction to learn basics of U.S. library use. They tend to use libraries more frequently than domestic students as a study space and for resources like catalogs and printed materials. The document suggests libraries provide outreach to international students and collaborate with student offices. It also recommends keeping up with library practices in other countries and gathering feedback to improve services for international patrons.

ReBlogger is a blog monitoring tool that allows users to:
1. Monitor employee blogs and get notified of new posts or if employees swear, and view their blog content.
2. Track industry blogs to get notified of new posts, view posts in one place filtered by keyword, and find leading bloggers and industry news.
3. Track competitor blogs to get notified, view their content in one place filtered by keyword, and analyze their bloggers.
4. Build intelligent keyword filters to track buzz and find active bloggers within companies or industries.
Multi-Links are an extension of TextAds that allow for more variety and flexibility than standard TextAds. With Multi-Links, advertisers can: place the same ad on a certain percentage of site pages; have multiple inbound keywords or deep link pages for a single ad. Advertisers find a site that supports Multi-Links, add a standard TextAd, and then can add up to 20 additional Multi-Links to vary the ad placement percentage, keywords, or linked pages for greater targeting options than regular TextAds.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
Writing Across The Curriculum and Information Literacy Across the CurriculumMaira Bundza
The document discusses the connections between Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) and Information Literacy Across the Curriculum (ILAC). Both aim to teach foundational skills like writing and research throughout students' academic careers rather than in isolated courses. They share goals of developing critical thinking and the ability to communicate knowledge. However, incorporating ILAC has faced challenges like differing definitions of information literacy, reluctance of librarians to teach, and difficulties scaling up support. The document proposes addressing these through conceptual changes to focus on research as process and connections to real-world issues, as well as active changes like assessing information literacy in courses and incorporating it into curricula.
This document describes experiential learning (EXL) programs at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and how the university library has partnered with and led EXL initiatives.

Writing Center And Library CollaborationRachel Goon
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for collaboration between a college library and writing center. It describes how they have started to work together through shared instruction sessions and cross-training of staff. However, barriers like budgets, organizational structures, and perceptions of roles have prevented deeper collaboration. The document proposes identifying ways that students already circumvent traditional service models and finding new partner departments to bust silos. Stronger collaboration could help address student needs and lay the groundwork for a future joint learning commons space.
This document outlines how library information literacy instruction can help students become active participants in research. It discusses the ACRL information literacy competency standards and how teaching those standards through techniques like modeling skills, student-centered learning, and reflective exercises can equip students to form their own research questions, evaluate and ethically use information, and enter academic conversations. The document also proposes opportunities for libraries to partner with writing and student support centers to collaboratively teach these skills across campus.
This document discusses the role of an effective school librarian. It begins by citing evidence that student achievement is higher in schools with qualified librarians. The rest of the document outlines the various roles and responsibilities of an effective librarian, including teaching information literacy skills, collaborating with teachers, administering library programs, maintaining technology skills and resources, and ensuring the library is a student-centered space that supports academic, research, and leisure activities. Photos and references are provided.
Classroom libraries help students attain reading achievement by providing opportunities to read interesting books and introducing students to different genres and authors. This promotes increased reading frequency and more diverse reading experiences. Classroom libraries also allow for social interaction as students discuss books, which enhances comprehension. When planning a classroom library, teachers should include fiction and non-fiction at various reading levels to meet student needs, and different genres and formats. The library should be organized in a user-friendly way to help students select books and updated each year.
This document discusses supporting students' academic reading skills throughout their education. It notes evidence that students do not read much beyond lecture materials and have low reading competency, despite understanding reading is important. The document proposes a workshop to discuss perceptions of academic reading declines; differences between student and educator views; and whether reading skills should be formally taught. It aims to start wider discussions among librarians on joint research into student reading approaches and attitudes, and sharing resources to support reading development.

Reference as teaching: Breaking barriers for international studentsYusuke Ishimura
This document discusses barriers international students face when using library reference services and proposes teaching strategies to overcome these barriers. It finds international students have difficulties with communication, library skills, and knowledge. Their communication is affected by language issues, cultural differences, and negative views of librarians. Their library skills and knowledge are limited by unfamiliar systems and lack of experience. The document suggests learner-centered teaching strategies like empathy, practice, and clear explanations to address these challenges.

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

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.
