UKSG webinar - Free eBooks for everyone: a new challenge for the University L...UKSG: connecting the knowledge community
From September 2015 Middlesex University will be giving all of its students registered at its Hendon campus in London their own personal free ebook for each module they study. In the current academic year the project is being piloted with two Schools. The webinar will discuss the success of the project so far, our partnership with John Smith/Kortext and ways in which provision may develop in future.IC Induction 2011
The document provides information about the support services available to students at the University of Sheffield. It discusses IT and library support, student ambassadors, accessing campus buildings and services through the University portal, using online library resources, the various library sites equipped with computers and study spaces, borrowing and renewing books from the library, printing services, booking study rooms and computer labs, WiFi access, file storage, and rules for using the library facilities.
EMT Pants
The document discusses the need for EMT knee padded pants based on injury statistics showing high rates of knee and back injuries among EMT workers. A survey found that over 50% of EMT workers experience knee discomfort during stabilization procedures and over 40% would prefer pants with built-in knee pads. The document proposes designing EMT pants with dual-layer padding around the knees using a recommended material that is washable, flexible and less than an inch thick. Future plans include prototyping and testing the pants in the industry.
Clark / Worcester App
This document proposes an app called Clark Connect, Clark Scheduler, and Clark Discover to help Clark University students better navigate campus life. A survey found most students wanted more information about classes and Worcester. The app would integrate students' class schedules, campus maps, events, and information about Worcester into one easy-to-use tool to help students better explore campus and the local community. The creators aim to develop the app and ensure ongoing updates and reliability to enhance the student experience at Clark University.
Sustainable Containers
The document proposes installing outdoor recycling bins made from salvaged campus materials next to existing outdoor trash cans to make recycling more convenient and increase Clark University's recycling rate. It notes that Clark's current recycling rate of 29% is below the national average of 33% and that installing more bins could divert more waste from landfills. The proposal requests $15,000 to pilot 5 bins with a goal of eventually installing 20-30 bins across campus to boost recycling and meet student priorities.

The Challenge of the Intelligent Library - UKeiG Presentation
There has been plenty of hype over artificial intelligence and the internet of things. Is it time to put aside the cynicism that this kind of hype generates and look seriously at how we can take advantage of these emerging technologies to improve the student experience and build an intelligent library?
The internet of things makes it possible for us to gather real-time data about the environment and usage of our library spaces. It is easy to imagine using this data to ensure the library is managed effectively, but could we go further and monitor environmental conditions in the library, or even, using facial recognition software, student reactions as they use the library so that we can continually refine the learning experience?
Most smartphones now make use of artificial intelligence to make contextual recommendations based on an individual’s location and interests. Could libraries take advantage of this technology to push information and learning resources to students? If we could, it offers some interesting possibilities. On-campus notifications could nudge students to make best use of the available services such as the library. Off-campus notifications could encourage them to take advantage of the learning opportunities all around them. Could we use approaches like this to turn student’s smartphones into educational coaches, nudging students towards the choices that lead to higher grades and prompting them to expand their learning horizons.
As we start to use a range of tracking technologies, smart cards, beacons, sensors we are facing a deluge of data in the use of buildings, spaces and equipment across a college or university campus. We are faced with a breadth and depth of data which can be challenging to use effectively and have greatest impact. These tracking technologies are already widespread in environments such as airports and retail. Often using wifi tracking to track users via their wifi enabled devices and smartphones. In addition sensors are used to track space utilisation and occupancy. Interpreting the data is fraught with challenges and difficulties, as well as potential ethical and legal issues. However this wealth of data does offer the potential to deliver more satisfying experiences for students and staff as well as ensuring the library is used as effectively as possible.

Join the makers movement as it pertains to education. Innovation, invention, and ingenuity needs to be cultivated early for students to reach their full potential, and making is a great way to bring real-world application and problem-solving into the classroom.
Redesigning lockers
The current school lockers are too small and malfunctioning, posing a threat to student belongings. Redesigning the lockers could involve making them taller to provide more storage space without changing locations. Prototypes of redesigned locker schemes would be tested before implementation to find the most efficient and cost-effective option. Stakeholders like students and teachers would be affected and must be considered to ensure the new lockers are adequately sized, accessible, and meet student needs. Funding may come from angel investors and school funds, and bulk purchasing could provide cost savings.
Pm corridor m_masd
The document summarizes a project to improve the maintenance and perception of the WS4 corridor at Ambedkar University. Through research including interviews, the team found the corridor is used by students for socializing and smoking but creates issues for classes, staff, and cleanliness.

Summer Of Solutions - Callista Perry & team
Summer of Solutions is a proposed two-month program in Worcester, MA that would bring together 30-40 participants ("solutionaries") to work on collaborative projects addressing environmental, social, and economic issues. The goals are to create a collaborative community to address energy and environmental justice issues, create public spaces for involvement, build sustainable communities and green jobs, and share ideas. Solutionaries would develop hands-on projects in areas like residential energy efficiency, local food, green jobs, and sustainable transportation.
Making Recycling Easier - Alan Grunberg
The document proposes putting recycling containers in every dorm room on campus to make recycling more convenient and intuitive for students. Currently, there are only recycling bins in dorm buildings, not individual rooms. Students have admitted to throwing away recyclables because it is difficult to store and transport them to bins. Providing reusable recycling bags in each room would allow students to easily separate and store paper and bottles/cans until emptying the bags into outside bins. Other universities have implemented this approach successfully. The $5,000 grant could fund enough bags for the entire school. Making recycling easier would increase participation and benefit both the environment and Clark through reduced waste and pollution as well as money returned for recyclables.
Green Run
The document announces the Green Run 5k road race at Clark University to benefit the Regional Environmental Council. The race will bring together the community through a healthy exercise event while educating participants on local environmental projects and sustainability. Funds raised will support the Regional Environmental Council's work in the community on environmental issues.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaLAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.
