This Library Orientation through power point presentation is about the kind of services, resources available in the Christ College Library, for new batch students.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Welcome from/to the Library
Introduce yourself
Welcome to Lancaster
In today’s session I’m going to introduce you to the Library spaces, resources and support available to you as a student at Lancaster
The session will be a mix of talking and demo’ing.
So first I’ll introduce you to our physical Library. Can you put your hand up if you have visited the Library since you arrived?
Did you notice anything unusual about our Library? (We have a tree in the library, students named the tree Norman)
Prompts:
The Library is in Alexandra Square

So, the Library is more than just the building in Alexandra Square, it is also the digital library, all the ebooks and electronic journal articles and databases that you can access as a student at Lancaster.
You can access the digital library from wherever you are – whether in student accommodation, on the bus, in a café or when you go home for vacation. As a student at Lancaster you have access to over 400,000 ebooks, 47,000 ejournals and over 250 specialist databases,
Look out for the Library on the student portal, the University website, iLancaster, and on Moodle.
If you forget your password you can reset it via ISS.
In this next part of the talk I’ll share some of the ways of getting the most out of Library resources, whether through an online reading list, using OneSearch to read around a topic, and to find subject specific information through your subject guide.
As I’ve mentioned, you can search OneSearch to see what is available in print and digitally.
If you are studying a new topic, you could look for a book to find out more about the topic, or when you are writing an essay, you can find online journal articles written by specialists in your field to support your arguments.

DEMO – see sheet
Show of hands how many people use Google scholar?
You can also access many Library resources if you link your Scholar account to Lancaster University onesearch – I’ll quickly show you how – QR code takes you to a short video.
Remember, not all publishers allow Google to access their content.
OK, so we’ve looked at the Library space and some of the library resources, let’s look at how everything works. If you are ever unsure when you are in the Library, just ask one of the Library staff who are on A floor.
So, we looked at how to find a book on OneSearch, but how do you then find the book on the shelves. Lets go back to our search.
On OneSearch look for – the location and classmark. Make a note of the classmark, its made up of capital letter,s, numbers, full-stops and lower case letters. The system is called Bliss and its not found in many libraries.
