In 2015 the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library had an all-too-familiar problem to solve: how to fulfill the need for technology help in the community. While they previously offered formal computer classes, the library found that customers were wanting technology help on their terms. The technology team at the library took a step back and decided to take a very informal approach to tackle the problem, and thus “Digital Drop In” was born. “Digital Drop In” is a weekly 2-hour window where people can come in with any and all technology questions, and team with tech-savvy library staff are available to help as best they can. From old answering machines to brand new tablets and laptops, and from quick questions to weekly visitors, the “Digital Drop In” has been a great success and has eliminated the library’s need for traditional computer classes.

This is a tongue-in-cheek training about workplace etiquette. The concepts covered are common sense, but some may benefit from humorous reminders and scenarios about how the little things matter in the workplace.
You love your job, your organization, and your community. But there can still be days when you feel like you have nothing left to give. If at the end of the day you feel drained, or irritated, or both, you may have “compassion fatigue.” Compassion fatigue, also known as secondary traumatic stress (STS), is a condition characterized by a gradual lessening of compassion over time. This session will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment. Explore ways to take care of yourself so you can continue to show compassion and give your patrons the care they need.
“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”
Anyone who works with others is very likely to be a party to some disagreements on occasion but conflict doesn’t have to be a bad thing. This training focuses on ways library staff can work with patrons and co-workers to resolve conflict in the workplace and empower them to manage the stress resulting from conflict.
1. Libraries need a strategic plan to guide their future and ensure their survival and growth. The director needs to educate trustees and staff, conduct research, and draft the plan with goals, strategies, and budgets. Trustees establish the planning process and support community involvement.
2. Developing a strategic plan involves gathering information from stakeholders, creating a vision and mission statement, setting goals and strategies, and outlining budgets, timelines, and evaluations.
3. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan allows the library to check progress towards goals and make adjustments based on changes in priorities or resources.

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
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.

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.

Editor's Notes
Indiana’s State Data Center: Access the Data You Need!
Welcome and Overview
Hello – Welcome to “Indiana’s State Data Center: Access to the Data You Need.”
My name is Katie Springer.
I’m a Reference Librarian here at the Indiana State Library and I also serve as Coordinator for Indiana’s State Data Center Program, a federal-state cooperative program between the U.S. Census Bureau and the State of Indiana, which helps establish collaborations for locating, sharing, and using data between academics, economists, government agencies, libraries, and other community-minded organizations in Indiana.
Today, I’ll be talking to you about the Program and what it can do for you.
The State of Indiana has had a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Census Bureau officially since 1978 to provide data access and training to the state agencies, academics, nonprofits, non-government organizations, and the public. As a part of this agreement, we use historical and current sources to answer data requests from around the world and provide training on site and online.
In 1988, the Business and Industry Data Center portion of the program was added. In addition to the general public, it provides businesses with education and access to Census Bureau data and other statistical resources.
The Data Center program is part of a national network of economists, government agencies, educators, community leaders, and other professionals in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the island areas.
We collaborate with several other agencies to help coordinate the program in Indiana: The Indiana Business Research Center, of IU’s Kelley School of Business, as the Lead Business and Industry Data Center (or BIDC). Our other main affiliates are the Department of Workforce Development and the Indiana Geographic Information Council. We also work with IUPUI’s Polis Center.
Our state has a network of current and former State Data Center Affiliate agencies and organizations. Affiliate agencies help the public find answers to statistical and data requests. We are all here to support you in your efforts to locate good data and enhance data access for everyone. We’re a statewide network of professionals. If you’re stuck on someone’s request for information, pick up the phone or email me. That’s what we’re here for. The map on the right shows our current network of Affiliates.
The Indiana State Library is staffed with many librarians with expertise in various subject areas. We act as a team to help you obtain data on a variety of topics.
You can walk in, call us, or use Ask-a-Librarian for data requests.
You can also use the State Data Center’s Statistics by Topic guide, which lets you choose from hundreds of links to government and non-government resources for local, national, and state-level data. It is organized by topic for easy use.
New links include Data.gov - the federal portal to federal and state statistical files, the Kids Count in Indiana database, Mapping Application for Public Safety from INDYGOV, Maternal and Child Health Reports from the Indiana State Department of Health, and much more.
The State Data Center is active on social media. We have Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts. Please visit these pages for more information on data literacy, big data, and data visualization.
Now, I’m going to take you through a few of the public portals for Indiana data that are available online through partnerships with the State Data Center program.
We’ll start with the Indiana Business Research Center – through IU’s Kelley School of Business. The Data Center partners closely with the IBRC to provide the public with immediate access to federal and state data as it is released to the public.
The organization itself has served Indiana since 1925 and provides economic information needed by Indiana's businesses, governments, and nonprofit organizations, as well as data users like us.
The IBRC maintains the Stats Indiana website, which is the main website we direct the public to.
Here, you can find Indiana information by topic – across the top or via an alphabetical list. This includes population numbers, figures on employment & earnings, and direct access to Census Bureau data.
Special features of this site include county-level demographic profiles of all 92 counties, a cost of Living calculator which creates salary comparisons between Indiana communities and metro areas throughout the country, and the Indiana Dashboard: A Summary of Key Economic Indicators which presents key variables from the STATS Indiana databases in graphic form.
The IBRC also helps maintain the new Gateway to Government Information – through the Department of Local Government Finance.
This multi-agency effort lets tax payers know where their tax dollars go. You can learn here about local government budgets, build your own reports, and download current and historical data directly from the website. It allows you to search by address – with results showing you the total adopted budget for your community. It also has a “Contact Officials” feature which allows you to view addresses, emails, and phone numbers for government offices.
For additional demographic, economic, and workforce news from the IBRC, you can use the websites here to look at the Indiana Economic Digest and the online monthly publication, InContext.
The Economic Digest is a collaboration between the Realtors of Indiana, the Indiana Business Research Center, and the Hoosier State Press Association. It collects business and economic news from news outlets throughout the state and also organizes stories by topic for easy searching. InContext contains analytic articles which look at current events and trends in Indiana business and industry.
Hoosiers by the Numbers, from the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development, strives for accuracy and timeliness in providing data about workforce and employment and developing new products to meet data user demand.
On the left side bar, you’ll find Economic Indicators, Income & Wage data, Occupation data, Unemployment data, and more, for Indiana. You can also view data by Indiana Economic Growth Region and use the new Radius Tools for population data within a selected amount of miles from a center point within the state.
Under the green “Other Resources” bar, you’ll find a link to articles and publications. There, you can select print resources by topic such as Consumer Price Index, Industry Projections, Jobs by Industry, and Race & Ethnicity.
The Data Center works closely with the Indiana Geographic Information Council – or IGIC. I sit on the Board of Directors and attend meetings to stay updated on the status of geo-information in Indiana.
The IGIC is a membership organization of Geographic Information Systems users, professionals, and educators. It is recognized as the official statewide coordinating body for Indiana geographic information.
One of the services of IGIC is IndianaMap – a statewide map for Indiana that includes geographic information in an easy to use format - accessible to both expert GIS users and the general public.
*We’re currently working on webinars that will be available for free. (Kathy is working on this too.)
The Indiana State Department of Health website holds statistics and reports on a number of different subjects including Statewide health needs, the Behavior Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS), injury reports, birth-marriage-&-death data, and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
They have a very helpful Data Users’ Guide which tells users about the importance of interpreting data within the decision making process. It describes different types of rates used in health information – age or race-specific rates, age-adjusted rates, and incidence & prevalence rates. It also teaches users how to calculate rates and percent changes.

The Indiana Department of Education website is full of good data as well.
You can use the DOE Compass to find profiles for particular school or corporation in the state. You can create customized student data reports, view school calendars, or look at school performance indicators like the ISTEP. You may look up specific educators, search for licenses, and search for school board members.
IUPUI has become a huge supporter of data access via the its Polis Center - a self-funded research unit of the IU School of Liberal Arts.
They work with professional and scholarly communities, especially through application of digital technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other geospatial tools.
Some of their major efforts include projects with national and state departments of homeland security, helping communities with hazard mitigation and planning.
It also has partnerships in health geoinformatics, linking clinical and community information to understand issues relating to public health.
The Polis Center has also become an excellent resource for locating data about Central Indiana. Their public interface is called SAVI.org – SAVI stands for Social Assets and Vulnerabilities Indicators.

The Polis Center calls this the nation’s largest community information system – it is notable for the availability of neighborhood-level information for 10 counties in central Indiana.
