Presentation given at Talis Insight, April 2016
The benefits and pitfalls – both anticipated and unexpected – of recruiting undergraduate students to support reading list data entry: experiences from the University of Worcester.
From Data Entry to Advocacy: Recruiting Students as Resource List Assistants ...Talis
The document discusses how the University of Worcester Library Services recruited students to help enter data for over 1450 resource lists into their new Talis Insight system. Students were hired as "Resource List Assistants" and completed around 65% of the data entry work, entering data for over 500 hours total. The program provided benefits for the students such as work experience, money, and advocacy for the library. It also helped the library populate their new system quickly while keeping data entry costs low. Challenges included making sure students remained enthusiastic and providing additional support for some students.

A Closer Look into Open Access and LIS Publishing PracticesRobyn Hall
Abstract: Drawing on data from an investigation of 126 academic, peer-reviewed journals in library and information science (LIS), this presentation will discuss ways that those working in LIS can take back control over how their work is disseminated and shared online. For this to happen, however, members of the profession need to recognize and consciously grapple with the ubiquitous capitalist system that informs so many of the services, functions, and expectations that are tied to the profession.

The emerging role of Institutional CRIS in facilitating Open Scholarship Anna Clements
This document discusses the emerging role of current research information systems (CRIS) in facilitating open scholarship. It defines CRIS as tools that provide access to and disseminate research information from an institution. CRIS are increasingly important for research assessment exercises like REF, open access policies, and showcasing an institution's research outputs, impacts, and activities. The document also describes how one university library uses its CRIS to provide services around REF submission, open access, research data management, and more. By centralizing research information, CRIS can help change researchers' attitudes and the culture around issues like copyright and sharing work openly.
The document provides an overview of resources and services available at the John H. Evans Library & Learning Commons, including databases, eBooks, journals, interlibrary loans, research guides, tutorials, and workshops. Key resources include over 100 subject databases, access to academic journals, newspapers, magazines and eBooks. Services for distance learners are also highlighted such as document delivery and interlibrary loans for materials not available digitally.
Open Access Mandates and the Future of Research FundingRobyn Hall
Funding agencies are increasingly requiring public, open access dissemination of funded research results. This session will provide an overview of open access mandates affecting Canadian researchers, including the recent Tri-Council Open Access Policy, while also addressing emerging developments around data archiving mandates. Learn how to ensure grant compliance, as well as how these mandates will impact where and how publicly funded research is published and shared.

Working with students to shape Library Services at The HiveSarah Pittaway
Dr Sarah Pittaway discusses how she works with students at The Hive library at the University of Worcester to shape library services through student engagement and feedback. Student engagement coordinators conduct many quick surveys and focus groups to understand what students want and help inform new projects. Students have helped redesign the library's induction process, create a library mascot, map study spaces, and develop volunteer and work opportunities like a student-led study program. While challenges remain, student feedback has helped improve services and change staff perspectives on the value of student engagement.
The document discusses how businesses will integrate social media, physical location, and mobile devices (SoLoMo) within the next two years. Specifically, it predicts that by 2022, everyone will be connected through the internet, QR codes will be widely used, and SoLoMo strategies will be a standard part of business marketing. This integration of social, location and mobile channels is seen as an opportunity for e-commerce businesses to better connect with and provide information to customers through their mobile devices.
Engaging students, shaping services: the changing face of student engagement ...Sarah Pittaway
Paper presented at UKSG, April 2016
Student / customer / library engagement roles are relatively new in the sector and Worcester is one of the first universities to recruit to this area. Rather than focusing on the relationship between engagement and learning, this role seeks to engage with students as partners and change agents who are actively involved in evaluating, developing and delivering our library service. This paper will outline some of our initial successes and impacts, which are already changing the way we interact with our student population. It will also cover some of the challenges faced along the way, particularly in delivering service change in the context of the radical new service model of the Hive.
Il marchio è un “segno” che fornisce l’informazione per distinguere i prodotti realizzati o i servizi forniti da un’impresa rispetto a quelli analoghi delle altre aziende.
Il marchio è uno strumento tecnico, giuridico ma prevalentemente commerciale ad uso di individui ed aziende, che consente loro di ottenere l’esclusività relativamente alla classe di prodotti o servizi per i quali è stata richiesta la tutela.
Il marchio spesso permette di ottenere una posizione unica in riferimento a un determinato mercato.
Il marchio d’impresa individuale o collettivo con valore in Italia viene concesso dalla Direzione Generale per la Lotta alla Contraffazione – Ufficio Italiano Brevetti e Marchi – UIBM, oppure da un Ufficio Regionale che fa capo ad un gruppo di Stati (ad esempio l’Ufficio per Armonizzazione del Mercato Interno – UAMI).
Il marchio è oggetto di pubblicazione sul Bollettino Ufficiale.
Possono costituire oggetto di registrazione come marchio d’impresa tutti i segni suscettibili di essere rappresentati graficamente, in particolare le parole, compresi i nomi di persone, i disegni, le lettere, le cifre, i suoni, la forma del prodotto o della confezione di esso, le combinazioni o le tonalità cromatiche, purché siano atti a distinguere i prodotti o i servizi di un’impresa da quelli di altre imprese.
I TIPI DI MARCHIO SONO:
MARCHIO D'IMPRESA
DENOMINAZIONE D'ORIGINE PROTETTA
INDICAZIONE GEOGRAFICA PROTETTA
SPECIALITÀ TRADIZIONALE GARANTITA
MARCHIO DI QUALITÀ.
The document discusses the darknet and its effects. It notes that the darknet is a widely distributed network subject to attacks that is used for illegal activities like human trafficking, drug dealing, hacking government sites, selling guns, theft, and child pornography. While the darknet creates fear for online markets and business, it can also provide low-cost websites, high quality service to large groups, and keep industries competitive. The document calls for awareness and government action around the darknet.
La legge 633 del 22/04/1941 “Protezione del diritto d’autore e di altri diritti connessi al suo esercizio” nota generalmente come Legge sul Diritto D’Autore, legifera la tutela delle opere definite dell’ingegno che siano di carattere creativo indipendentemente dall’ambito di applicazione qualunque ne sia il modo o la forma di espressione.
Anche in questo caso gli aspetti tutelabili sono tanti.
L’art. 2 della Legge 633 del 22/04/1941 infatti afferma che sono comprese nella protezione:
1) le opere letterarie, drammatiche,scientifiche, didattiche, religiose, tanto se in forma scritta quanto se orale;
le opere e le composizioni musicali, con o senza parole, le opere drammatico-musicali e le variazioni musicali costituenti di per sé opera originale;
3) le opere coreografiche e pantomimiche, delle quali sia fissata la traccia per iscritto o altrimenti;
4) le opere della scultura, della pittura, dell’arte del disegno, della incisione e delle arti figurative similari, compresa la scenografia;
5) i disegni e le opere dell’architettura;
6) le opere dell’arte cinematografica, muta o sonora, sempreché non si tratti di semplice documentazione protetta ai sensi delle norme del Capo V del Titolo II;
7) le opere fotografiche e quelle espresse con procedimento analogo a quello della fotografia sempre che non si tratti di semplice fotografia protetta ai sensi delle norme del Capo V del Titolo II;
8) i programmi per elaboratore, in qualsiasi forma espressi purché originali quale risultato di creazione intellettuale dell’autore. Restano esclusi dalla tutela accordata dalla presente legge le idee e i principi che stanno alla base di qualsiasi elemento di un programma, compresi quelli alla base delle sue interfacce. Il termine programma comprende anche il materiale preparatorio per la progettazione del programma stesso.
9) le banche di dati di cui al secondo comma dell’articolo 1, intese come raccolte di opere, dati o altri elementi indipendenti sistematicamente o metodicamente disposti ed individualmente accessibili mediante mezzi elettronici o in altro modo. La tutela delle banche di dati non si estende al loro contenuto e lascia impregiudicati diritti esistenti su tale contenuto.
10) Le opere del disegno industriale che presentino di per sé carattere creativo e valore artistico.
In collaborazione con brevetti.sicilia.it dalla sede di Unioncamere Sicilia si parla del Brevetto come strumento di Innovazione che permette l'esclusiva nel produrre, distribuire e commercializzare prodotti e metodi nuovi ed inventivi. Università, centri di ricerca, imprese e privati usano questo strumento perchè ormai i Beni Immateriali sono lo strumento per tutelare e creare valore dall'attività sia questa di ricerca che di impresa.
This document provides information about a project conducted by a group of students to evaluate the lighting and acoustic performance of Greyskymorning Cafe. It includes an introduction to the project aims and objectives, acknowledgements, a list of figures and tables, and details on the methodology and equipment used for data collection. Lux meters, sound level meters, measuring tapes, and cameras were utilized to collect lighting and acoustic data from various zones in the cafe over different times of day.
This document summarizes the work of HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation, a Swiss development organization. It notes that HELVETAS contributed to establishing Nepal's dairy sector and industrial manufacturing capacity. It was also involved in manufacturing steel parts for Nepal's first suspension bridge. The organization has over 1,250 staff members working in 33 partner countries on projects related to rural economy, water, skills development, governance, and peacebuilding. It is known for its work on trail bridges, water supply, forestry, coffee, and riverbed farming.
The document discusses four readings related to architecture theory. It summarizes Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of organic architecture that harmonizes with nature. It also summarizes discussions on architecture as self-expression, as a spatial representation of time, and the relationship between architecture and the human body. Critical regionalism is described as a means to balance local and universal influences in architecture.
This document provides lighting calculations for two spaces - Space A and Space B - in a community library. For Space A, a semi-open air reading area, the document calculates the daylight factor and determines that the space has adequate uniform daylighting of 3.4% for an illuminance of 680 lux. It then calculates the artificial lighting needs, determining that 36 LED lamps in a 8x5 layout will provide the required 400 lux illuminance for reading. For Space B, an outdoor reading area, similar daylighting and artificial lighting calculations are provided to achieve the required 300 lux illuminance for reading.
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 developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document compares contact points in 6th Avenue in New York City and Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur. It finds that the large, open spaces and pedestrian infrastructure in 6th Avenue encourage more social interaction compared to Petaling Street. In 6th Avenue, mobile food stalls and open areas with seating provide opportunities for chance contacts. Meanwhile, the narrow walkways and lack of public spaces in Petaling Street result in faster walking speeds and fewer opportunities for socializing. However, both areas have areas of high contact intensity among local shopkeepers and neighbors. The architectural differences between the areas influence the types and intensity of social contacts.
The document discusses noise pollution, its sources and effects. It defines noise as unwanted sound that disrupts human or animal activity or balance. Noise pollution comes from traffic, industries, construction and other sources. It causes physical effects like hearing loss, and physiological effects such as headaches and high blood pressure. Psychological effects include annoyance, depression and reduced efficiency. Some ways to control noise pollution mentioned are tree plantation, soundproofing homes, prohibiting loud speakers, using white noise machines, reducing volume of music systems and regular servicing of machines.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

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.

Implemented during
2014/15
Undertook data entry
of all lists before
handing over
ownership to
academics
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
3. With over 1450 lists
to add, we knew we had
a big job ahead of us! #TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
4. We wanted data entry to
be quick, and to roll
out a completely
populated system
#TalisInsight

8. An unexpected benefit was that
students became library advocates
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
10. We think this advocacy has had a
real, tangible impact
One strong advocate was from Archaeology,
where we saw NSS scores rise from 3.0-3.8.
Cause, correlation or coincidence?

@Dr_Sarah_P
11. There were benefits for
students as well
They earned money, gained work experience,
and could add to their Worcester Award
