An instructional presentation for my LIS 702 course at Dominican University (a graduate Library and Information Science course). The assignment tasks students with creating a PowerPoint presentation instructing users to use a reference source cited in a previous assignment. I am not affiliated with EBSCO or the Schaumburg Township District Library; I assumed the role of a reference librarian at the Schaumburg Township District Library to meet the parameters of the assignment. I would be delighted if you find this guide helpful, however!
Here we start our lessons in EndNote citation software. If you are a KU graduate student, learn where to find the software and how to download it to your computer. Then we will do some searching on library databases, find and mark articles we want to cite, export the citations to our own EndNote libraries.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

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.
1. A database is a giant online server or container of scholarly
articles, reviews, and journals. Articles are added to the
database daily, much the same way as websites are created
on the web.
They contain the newest published material from well known
journals
Databases available include: Art and Architecture Source, Eric,
Taylor & Francis, Jstor, and Proquest indexes. Also Material
ConneXion and Artstor.
And they are all FREE while you’re an art student!
And
Databases can be found on the library website and through
OpenAthens when offsite. In your browser type in the web
address: https://www.ncad.ie/library. The library website can
also be accessed through the main college website by clicking
on the word library at the top of the screen.
(https://www.ncad.ie/.)
On the library website, databases like JSTOR, Taylor & Francis, Art
and Architecture Source and Eric can be searched through the
one search box (similar to Google) on the catalogue page or
under the databases tab.
OFF SITE USE OPEN- ATHENS: login details can be got from NCAD
IT Support. This divides databases up into separate links: you
have to search each one individually
Keywords are the words that open up areas of information to
researchers. Enter your keywords into the box and click search.
It's a good trick to use an online thesaurus to widen your use of
terms/words when searching. This will help you find more results.
Example: Urban, civic, metropolitan, inner-city.
If you have an article title, put the exact title in inverted
commas into the search box. If the article is available through
the databases it will find it!
Never submit a full sentence! This rarely finds the results you’re
looking for.
2/3 keywords work best.
You can use ‘AND, OR, NOT’ to further refine your search results
Once you click on the search button, a number of results show
up
This is a list of articles containing the search terms you entered.
The list includes the article title, author, when it was published,
where and what database provider it comes from.
