OverDrive Media Console for Macs (June 2011)bibliotecaria
This document provides instructions for installing and using the OverDrive Media Console (OMC) software to download MP3 audiobooks from a library's digital collection to a Mac computer. It outlines downloading and installing the OMC software, logging into the library's digital collection through the NHDB website, finding and checking out compatible MP3 audiobooks, downloading titles to the OMC, and transferring audiobooks to an iPod for listening. Additional tips are provided for adjusting audiobook file settings in iTunes to enable resume playback functionality. Help resources like the library and NHDB blog are also mentioned.
Meeting the readers Through a Digital transition. Lessons from the EntertainmentLoreto Corredoira
This document discusses lessons that can be learned from the entertainment industry for meeting new readers and subscribers. It provides data on paid digital subscribers for movies, TV, sports, music, and news in the US. Key lessons discussed include:
- Making content widely available across multiple platforms and devices.
- Extending the life of content through new copyright licensing models.
- Experimenting with various pricing models from transactional to subscriptions.
- Focusing on usability, flexibility, and easy unsubscribing to prioritize the consumer experience.
- Bundling content and services to provide better value to users.
- Connecting online platforms to drive traffic between different types of content and experiences both online and offline
Small, everyday choices and habits can collectively have a large impact and help change the world. Drinking hot drinks instead of cold drinks could save enough electricity to power all streetlights in a country. Mobile phone chargers are very inefficient and waste 95% of the energy they use when not actively charging a phone. The money spent cleaning chewing gum off streets each year in the UK could fund building hospitals or employing many teachers.
The document provides guidance on how to create and distribute Perl modules. It discusses what Perl modules are, why they are useful, and how to structure, write, test, and package a module for distribution. Key steps include using the h2xs tool to generate module scaffolding, writing the module code in the .pm file with best practices like strict and warnings, testing the module, and creating a compressed archive for distribution.
There are two main types of organisations that use science: those that make useful products like pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals, and food, and those that provide useful services like health, analysis, communication, and energy. These organisations employ many people, provide important products and services for society, and generate significant money that contributes to the national and local economies. Examples include large multinational companies as well as national and local organisations.
This document discusses approaches for delivering web content and services to mobile devices. It summarizes that mobile web use is growing rapidly and will overtake desktop use by 2015. It explores responsive design techniques that adapt content for different screen sizes using fluid grids, images, and media queries. The document also discusses responsive frameworks and whether to use a mobile-first, separate, or native mobile app approach. It encourages the use of responsive design to provide content for both desktop and mobile users.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document discusses creativity in science education and provides examples of hands-on activities and projects students can do. It lists activities students regularly do like drawing diagrams, modeling, planning investigations, and displaying results. It suggests doing more role plays, blogs, podcasts, and photo slideshows. Examples of hands-on projects mentioned include chromatography, making bread, onion slides, molecular models, dyeing with fruits and vegetables, and experiments with milk, fertilizer, glass, nylon, and starch.
This document discusses the mass and weight of water. It states that 1000 cm3 of water has a mass of 1000g, so 1 cm3 of water has a mass of 1g. It also provides a results table to show the relationship between weight in Newtons and mass in grams for different amounts of water, including 1000g, 100g, and 10g.

The document discusses how social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are popular among students and how instructors can use these tools in the online classroom. It provides an overview of Twitter and how to get started, common Twitter terminology, tips for using Twitter, and examples of how Twitter can be used for professional growth and in the classroom. The presentation aims to give both a big-picture perspective and specific steps for instructors to engage with students using these social media tools.
Research Data Management at the University of SalfordDavid Clay
The document summarizes the University of Salford's research data management project. It describes the drivers for the project including funder policies requiring open data. It outlines the requirements gathering and policy development process. It then details the proposed solution architecture including online storage, a data repository, source code management, and support services. Finally it discusses the pilot infrastructure launched in 2015 using Figshare and describes next steps to evaluate scaling up the RDM service.
The New Gathering Place - Social Media for Arts BusinessessLinda Groendyke
The document discusses using social media, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, for arts professionals to connect with others interested in their work, promote their business, and share content. It provides tips on getting started with social media, including choosing relevant platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, testing out platforms, and protecting intellectual property through Creative Commons licensing. The document also discusses using social media to connect with others locally or worldwide who are passionate about similar areas of art.
The document discusses the development of an SMS information system called CCPMP SMS to connect agricultural value chain actors in Cambodia via SMS. It began as a local SMS server in Pailin in 2008-2009. The system architecture includes a remote web database, a web service, and a Frontline SMS server to send responses to users. The document outlines plans to transition to a "hubs and spokes" model where information booths and middlemen connect users and provide access to services. Farmer surveys found most own mobile phones but few use SMS currently. Future work includes workshops to build a social network and collaborating with partners to develop information middlemen kits.
learning in a networked world: the role of social media and augmented learning.
Keynote presentation to the New Educator Program Hedley Beare Centre for Teaching and Learning 23-25 August 2011
This document proposes a new plug-and-play fiber-to-the-home cabling system as an alternative to traditional complex fiber installation methods. It notes that while some pre-terminated fiber solutions exist, the market still lacks an easy-to-use system analogous to products like Amazon or the iPhone that non-experts can install. This new system aims to simplify fiber installation for both rural and urban areas by making it as straightforward as clicking on an online purchase.
Some slides for a presentation I gave to a working group from our Educational Services Master Plan (ESMP) team. Our team is working on identifying demographic trends for 2020 and making recommendations for the college. My focus has been on the unique topic of technology demographics.
Scottish Qualification for Headship Course five PresentationOllie Bray
The document discusses improving leadership, staff commitment, and capacity for change at a school. It mentions developing whole-school tracking systems, improving links between schools, and sharing leadership roles. It also discusses extending transition programs, information consistency, internet safety, and adapting education to 21st century society. The document advocates for a learning community with blended learning, a broad curriculum, and sharing partnerships to help students progress and reach positive destinations. It concludes by questioning how virtual learning spaces will be inspected in the future.
