Multigenerational Volunteers: Using Technology to Engage a Diverse Demographic
Multigenerational Volunteers: Using Technology to Engage a Diverse DemographicJessica Belcoure Marcetti
Museums commonly employ diverse groups of local volunteers and match them, based on their interests and skills to specific tasks and projects throughout the institution. But can we engage volunteers of varying ages, skills, and geographic locations with the same project? Yes!

7210 jones esther_ignite - script + bibliography
This document summarizes the findings of an audit of children's picture books featuring Muslim narratives at the Minneapolis Central Library. The audit analyzed 62 books and found that while the number of books acquired each year has increased slowly since 2003, representation remains low. Most authors were Muslim, but 65% of illustrators were not, which is problematic given stereotyping. The identities of authors affected the breadth of topics covered. Independent publishers produced more books on Muslims than the top 5 publishers combined. Recommendations include increasing Muslim-focused books, prioritizing #OwnVoices creators, and using selection guidelines to avoid stereotypes.
7700 jones esther_mentoringblackwomen
This document discusses the experiences of Black women in the workplace and strategies to improve retention. It summarizes that Black women face imposed invisibility and hypervisibility at work, which leads to increased harassment and health issues. Mentorship is identified as the most effective strategy, but it must involve educating mentors about systemic racism, building diverse networks, advocating for advancement, and acknowledging personal commitments. Broad and involved mentorship can counter struggles faced by Black women and elevate their skills and contributions to be properly recognized. While research on this topic has existed for over a decade, retention efforts are still needed to dismantle underlying white supremacy in addition to increasing representation.

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.
