For books not available, it explains how to place a hold to have the book delivered from another library.
Zygote body
This document provides instructions for interacting with an anatomical image, allowing the user to rotate and zoom the image, use a slider to view different layers, and search for and pin specific body parts.
Research is a journey
The document outlines a 6-step process for conducting research: 1) defining a research question and keywords, 2) determining appropriate sources to search, 3) searching sources and gathering relevant information, 4) reading, analyzing, and taking notes on sources, 5) organizing information and presenting findings, and 6) reflecting on the research process. It emphasizes that research is an iterative journey that may require seeking help, and that proper citation of sources is important.
Using your Hawken Library card
Registering your library card online makes searching for and requesting books from your school library easier. You enter your library card barcode number and password (usually the last 4 digits of your phone number) at the library's website to log in. From there, you create a username after accepting the terms of use and select your school location to set up your online account and place holds on books.

Why do i need multiple sources?
Six blind men each touch a different part of an elephant and come to different conclusions about what the elephant is based on their limited perspective. The first thinks it is like a wall after touching its side, the second a spear after touching its tusk, and so on. While each man's individual assessment is a little bit right, they are all very wrong because none see the full elephant. The document concludes that getting multiple perspectives is needed to understand something fully.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
