It recommends that headlines be concise at 5 words and 35 characters to grab readers' attention. The use of layout techniques like bullets and subheadings can help keep readers engaged. Both short overview articles and longer in-depth pieces are useful online. Credibility comes from knowing your audience and providing fact-based, objective writing.
Exploiting The Potential of Blogs and Social Networks
The document discusses using blogs and social networks to engage audiences of museums and cultural heritage institutions. It provides an overview of key blog concepts and examples of effective museum blogs. It then discusses establishing an institutional blog, including defining its purpose, overcoming barriers, quality assurance, technical infrastructure, and measuring impact. The document also covers using social networks to build an engaged community around the institution.
Graphic Design How To Create A Research Paper
The document outlines the seven steps to create a research paper: 1) selecting an interesting topic, 2) finding reliable information on the topic from sources like libraries and websites, 3) formulating a thesis statement, 4) creating an outline to organize points, 5) writing a first draft with an introduction, body, and conclusion, 6) creating a bibliography to cite all sources, and 7) revising the first draft and proofreading for errors.

Blogging as social networking (IAML UK/IRL seminar, May 2013)
This presentation illustrates and discusses how blogging on MusiCB3 (http://musicb3.wordpress.com/) has tried to network with the University of Cambridge's community, and how, as well as with whom, such communication sits within a broader context of using social networking which are more commonly seen as tools to engage with others (Twitter & Facebook page). A list of "dos" and "don'ts" will critically assess the opportunities and challenges of online tools to connect with your users.

Ebooks via option one (presentation March 2013)
This document discusses Option 1 for obtaining ebooks via the University Library's ebooks team. Under Option 1, faculties and departments contribute funds to a central pot at the beginning of each financial year. The ebooks team then identifies needed ebooks based on reading lists or requests and obtains access to the ebooks across various platforms within hours or days. While Option 1 has advantages like no need to set up accounts on different platforms and only one payment per year, its disadvantages are a smaller selection of available platforms and less ability to monitor spending during the year. The overall assessment is that not enough ebooks are currently available in digital format to meet academic interest.

The document provides tips for maintaining a blog outside of work. It suggests making blogging a regular habit by posting consistently while focusing on quality over quantity. Ideas can come from work, university, events, or professional development. When turning an idea into a post, the document advises writing about events soon after, keeping posts short and sweet, and including pictures. Finally, it notes that finding time can be difficult but blogging should be enjoyable, and posts can be written and scheduled when time allows.
Vl blogging
The document provides guidance for starting a blog about cataloguing books in the Tower Project at Cambridge University Library. It recommends developing blog post ideas through discussion, writing about topics within one's areas of expertise, and breaking the writing process into steps like identifying the topic, finding images, fact-checking, and publishing. The document also offers tips for saving time like scheduling topics, limiting each post to two hours, drafting in advance, reusing public domain images, and focusing on visuals over formatting.
To do or not to do
The document provides dos and don'ts for blogging. It recommends doing things like being positive, using images and links, blogging regularly while fitting it into your workflow, and using social media to promote your blog. It recommends not being afraid to experiment, doing it alone, using limited access links, forgetting your blog isn't personal, or being downhearted about low readership. The key is to focus on quality over quantity.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen.
