“The future depends on what you do today”: evolving subject support in UCD Li...Diarmuid Stokes
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.
An introduction to the British Library's digital collections, resources and partnerships. Presented at the 'Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities' 2015 conference (Salford, 13 October 2015)

A careers talk on librarianship roles within the government sector, presented to history students at the University of Leeds.
Written and presented by Carly Miller and Jenny Owens.
Two characteristics of e-books – availability and flexibility – make them appealing in the academic environment. Access anytime, anywhere, and full text searching are functionalities highly valued by students and staff.
E-book collections in academic libraries are growing. Libraries are investing huge proportions of their budgets in e-books, but how do we know that e-books are worth it? Can we prove that libraries are getting value for their money? This presentation will look into statistics of usage and demonstrate what they can deliver. It will discuss different measures available to evaluate e-book usage. It will also look into what improvements can be done to better measure and evaluate the investment in e-books.
Biodiversity—A Healthy Ecosystem Thrives on Fresh Ideas (Part 1 of 3), Phil J...Allen Press

To maintain the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem, we need a steady flow of innovation and risk and a strong current of entrepreneurial spirit. Wherever ideas are generated—by a small, rebellious start-up or by a long-established player at the top of the food chain—they provide the catalyst and movement that keep things alive and well. We’ll conclude the day by looking at the transformational promise of open, linked, and shared data, the alignment of repository networks, data and metadata exchange, and a wrap-up of the current trends in scholarly publishing from the perspective of the university press.

Using Web 2.0 Applications as Information Awareness Tools
The past few years have seen several new technological initiatives at Drexel University in interdisciplinary fields such as Nanomedicine, Engineering Cities, Drug Delivery, Plasma Medicine, Nanoscale Science and Technology, Microfluidics, and Bionanotechnology. These technological initiatives require faculty and students to work together in groups in a collaborative fashion. This has motivated librarians to experiment with new ways of reaching out to faculty and students. Drexel's emphasis on team based engineering design projects requires students to develop critical understanding of engineering subject areas. Developing awareness about the core electronic resources such as IEEE Xplore, Knovel, Web of Knowledge, Science Direct and Engineering Village is crucial in successfully undergoing research and completing assignments in their classes.
This presentation outlines innovative experiments using web 2.0 applications to increase information among faculty and students. Several web 2.0 tools such as Facebook, Friendfeed, Del.icio.us, Google Reader, Wikis, and blogs will be covered. Having engineering librarian's presence on Facebook is useful since many of the students are heavy Facebook users. Drexel's student Organizations such as IEEE and ASME are also on Facebook. Moreover, Drexel University's College of Engineering has recently launched its Facebook page where activities celebrating National Engineering Week have been quickly promoted among student. Drexel Engineering Information Awareness Campaign Group is a librarian-created Facebook group aimed at increasing awareness of new and existing resources among faculty and students. Feeds from Google Reader can be made automatically available on Facebook pages. For this to happen, a user needs to become ‘a friend’ with the engineering librarian on Facebook.
As faculty and students become more aware of new and existing information tools, the information skills learned during the process of exploring these resources will contribute to life-long learning among the engineering students.
Identified open access resources such as open access archives, open access books, open access journals, open access courseware, open access search engine and open source software and its actual usefulness in LIS teaching & learning process

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
