Advanced search
Google Scholar provides a search tool for scholarly literature, including articles, theses, books and court opinions. It allows users to search across disciplines from academic publishers, societies, repositories and universities. Google Scholar helps users find relevant academic works from around the world. Some key features include searching all scholarly literature from one place, exploring related works and citations, locating full documents through libraries, and keeping up with recent developments. It also allows checking who has cited your own publications and creating an author profile page.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Research Communicators
The emergence of Web 2.0 and simultaneously Library 2.0 platforms has helped the library and information professionals to outreach to new audiences beyond their physical boundaries. In a globalized society, information becomes very useful resource for socio-economic empowerment of marginalized communities, economic prosperity of common citizens, and knowledge enrichment of liberated minds. Scholarly information becomes both developmental and functional for researchers working towards advancement of knowledge. We must recognize a relay of information flow and information ecology while pursuing scholarly research. Published scholarly literatures we consult that help us in creation of new knowledge. Similarly, our published scholarly works should be outreached to future researchers for regeneration of next dimension of knowledge. Fortunately, present day research communicators have many freely available personalized digital tools to outreach to globalized research audiences having similar research interests. These tools and techniques, already adopted by many researchers in different subject areas across the world, should be enthusiastically utilized by LIS researchers in South Asia for global dissemination of their scholarly research works. This newly found enthusiasm will soon become integral part of the positive habits and cultural practices of research communicators in LIS domain.

FSC 500 PPT 2017
The document provides instructions for two assignments related to finding journal articles. The first assignment asks students to find a specific journal from a particular year and articles on a specific topic within that same journal, using resources like Google Scholar, E-Journals & Periodicals, and WorldCat Local. It notes to do preliminary searches and check for full-text access indicators. The second assignment asks students to find an article when they only have part of the citation, starting their search in Google Scholar through the library website to access subscriptions.
Folksonomies And Complex Works
Folksonomies provide a way for general users to collaboratively categorize and tag large amounts of information through the use of informal keywords, rather than relying solely on experts. This helps organize and make searchable growing amounts of data like photos, videos, and complex scientific publications, especially when experts are not always available. Examples where folksonomies have been effectively used include PubMed, ChemSpider, Wikipedia, and Wikipatents. Folksonomies leverage the collective input of many non-expert users to tag and contextualize information in ways that supplement or replace traditional controlled vocabularies assigned by authorities.
Presentation google scholar
Google Scholar is a search engine designed for scholarly literature that produces search results pages.

2010 rock slope risk assesment based on geostructural anna
The document describes a study on assessing rock slope stability along a highway in North Malaysia. Laser scanning and traditional surveying techniques were used to characterize discontinuities in eight rock slopes. Discontinuity orientations and positions were derived from laser scanning point clouds. Stability analyses using key block analysis identified potential failure mechanisms. A relative hazard index was developed based on slope geometry, stability, water presence, and protections to assess hazard levels and inform mitigation recommendations. The study provides a methodology for integrating advanced scanning with traditional surveys to evaluate rock slope stability.
Differentiated Instruction
Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching that involves tailoring instruction to meet students' individual needs. It includes varying teaching methods, content, products, and assessments to engage students of varying abilities, interests, and learning needs. Benefits include providing effective learning opportunities for all students and monitoring their progress. Challenges include additional lesson planning, grouping students, and gathering materials. Differentiating can occur through content, process, and product. The document discusses strategies for differentiating in these areas such as concept-based teaching, flexible grouping, and allowing student choice in assignments.

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.
