XXIX Charleston Semantic Web (5 Nov 2009) Hulbert
The document discusses the importance and benefits of semantic technologies and the semantic web for scientific publishers and researchers. It notes that researchers prefer online journals but are reading fewer articles and for less time per article. Researchers want to quickly evaluate articles and isolate those worth deeper reading. Semantic tagging of content allows for more precise searching, related content linking, and discovery of hard to find information. Publishers are implementing semantic tools to enrich content by tagging entities, facts, and relationships to improve discoverability and navigation. Examples from the American Institute of Physics and Royal Society of Chemistry are provided that leverage semantic tagging of content.

This document provides information and tips for keeping up to date with social science research using various tools and services. It discusses setting up alerts from publishers, journals, and databases to receive notifications of new publications. It also covers using RSS feeds, social media like blogs and Twitter, and research networks to stay current and engage with the research community. The key recommendations are to set up saved search and table of contents alerts in databases and from publishers, and to leverage RSS feeds, blogs, and social networks like ResearchGate or Mendeley to actively participate in online research communities.
Research Tools
This document provides an overview of research tools available at the Dimond Library at the University of New Hampshire. It discusses the library catalogs for searching items owned by UNH as well as worldwide, databases that provide access to journal articles and other periodicals, and research guides created by subject librarians to help students navigate various topics and resources. Contact information is provided for getting help from a librarian.
E-LEARN: Databases
A database is an organized collection of information on a particular subject. The most common type found in libraries are online periodical indexes that provide citations to magazine, journal, and newspaper articles. Choosing an appropriate database is essential for research. Databases are specialized and index different types of materials like government documents, articles, or focus on a particular collection. Knowing what type of information is needed makes database selection easier.
Access to Research, Sci-Hub, and the Honor Code: Ethical Dilemmas
Sci-Hub’s mission is to remove barriers to research and knowledge production, particularly for unaffiliated researchers or researchers in developing countries. Yet, recent research suggests that Sci-Hub is also heavily used by researchers on college campuses, which makes this an important issue for the Davidson community to grapple with.
The panel will address several questions, such as: What is ethical for Davidson students to do in connection with Sci-Hub? Stealing is forbidden by the Honor Code, but does downloading papers from Sci-Hub represent illegal or unethical theft? Does the law dictate what’s ethical here, if access to scientific papers is normally restricted exclusively to those who can afford to purchase them, individually or through their school? How are our value judgments influenced by our own privilege and access to information?

Citation searching 11 jan 2013
Citation searching allows researchers to find additional references on a topic by starting with a known reference and tracking how many times it has been cited and by whom. There are databases like Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar that can be used to perform citation searches. These databases may provide different citation counts for the same article as they cover different journal titles and sources. It is best to check multiple databases for a more comprehensive understanding of an article's citations and related research.

Inertia is a property of matter
Chelsea Lowe gave a presentation to science journalists about their obligation to effectively explain scientific contexts and concepts to the general public. She argued that science writers must address their audience's varying academic levels to improve relationships with scientists and provide better quality information to readers. As evidence, she cited examples of factual errors and misused terminology in science publications. Lowe acknowledged challenges like time constraints but emphasized the importance of avoiding oversimplification. Her research showed a lack of published work on this topic, and she concluded by stressing journalists' role in educating viewers and communicating scientific uncertainty.

It also defines different economic systems such as capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies.
Uses and Gratifications Theory
Blumler & Katz published a theory in 1974 proposing that individuals choose media to fulfill various needs such as diversion, personal relationships, personal identity, and surveillance. The uses and gratifications theory focuses on how active audiences interpret media to meet their needs. It can be applied to different media like television, music videos, and the internet. Viewers may use music videos for diversion, to connect with others, to relate to characters' identities and lyrics, and to learn about other cultures.

How culture, in all of its aspects, is a major determinant of organizational practices and performance..Types of information sources module
There are several types of information sources that can be used for academic research, including encyclopedias, books, magazines, scholarly journals, newspapers, and websites. Encyclopedias provide overviews on topics and are available in both general and specialized formats. Books synthesize information in depth to support arguments. Magazines contain current articles for general readers on popular topics and events. Scholarly journals contain peer-reviewed research articles written by experts. Newspapers report daily news. Websites can both provide access to other sources and contain information themselves. The Lightner Library contains and provides access to many of these source types both in print and online through databases.
