This document discusses different types of libraries that can help with research and reduce stress. It identifies three main types: public libraries which serve the general public, academic libraries focused on students and professors' needs, and special libraries like law or medical libraries with specific collections. Each library tailors its resources based on patron needs, from computer access at public libraries to specialized databases and journals at academic libraries. The document encourages students stressed over papers to visit their university's reference librarians for research help and guidance.

University College Dublin (UCD) library website for many years supported its users by providing subject support to over 50 different disciplines, through the development of webpages containing subject lists of databases, useful websites and other related materials. These lists were created and using HTML and had to be individually maintained and developed. This presentation looks at what happened when UCD Library evaluated the effectiveness and sustainability of these resources and how Libguides were used to evolve and manage and extend subject support. This presentation will also look at how Libguides are being used to extend subject support beyond the library website and potential plans for further development.

LibGuides provided a better interface and allowed content to be added, reused and shared more easily. UCD Library piloted the new LibGuides and saw increasing usage over time. By 2015 there were 42 subject guides and 9 research guides available on LibGuides.
Issues in Special Libraries
Special libraries and information centers are information organizations sponsored by private companies, government agencies, or professional associations that emphasize practical research to support their parent organization. They have a narrow focus and smaller user base than academic or public libraries. While the first modern special library was founded in 1777 at West Point, the Special Libraries Association was established in 1909. Now there are estimated to be 14,000-21,000 special libraries worldwide. They face challenges with limited resources, proving their value, and keeping up with changing technology and copyright laws.

Wikis And Special Libraries
This document discusses how special libraries, which are libraries that are not academic, school, or public libraries, can utilize wikis. It defines special libraries as law libraries, news libraries, government libraries, and more. Wikis allow special libraries to research, disseminate information, and facilitate collaboration both within projects and across departments. Special libraries can manage wiki content, maintain revision histories, and provide support for wikis within their organizations. Wikis are thus a tool that special libraries can use to more effectively share and gather information for their specific needs and user groups.

A Look into the Future
Lynn Sutton discusses the future of books, libraries, and how libraries can remain relevant. She notes that digital content like journals, newspapers, books, and media are increasingly accessed online rather than in print. Libraries must adapt by becoming places for teaching, technology leadership, intellectual partnerships, and community. The Z Smith Reynolds Library aims to succeed in this mission by embedding library services in classes, hosting lectures and symposiums, and sponsoring programs that bring students to the library for fun activities to make it a happy place to work and study.

Wikipedia and libraries
An overview of Wikipedia, followed by a discussion of the relationship between libraries and Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a really important resource but a lot of people don’t fully understand how it works, and I think it’s particularly important for educators and librarians to do so. This presentation is about what WIkipedia is, how to edit it, and why we can use it as not only a useful source of information but a great information literacy teaching tool.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
