Mobile Instant Messaging
The document discusses mobile instant messaging and proposes an approach to simplify it for both customers and operators. It suggests implementing an IP messaging platform that fully interworks with SMS and allows conversations without presence as a prerequisite. This would provide a more conversational experience than SMS while aligning with natural customer behaviors. Presence is seen as less important than expression in mobile. The goal is a "text just got better" service to avoid fragmentation and drive adoption of richer messaging.
Instant Messaging Trends & Practice
Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time communication between two or more people using typed text over the internet. Surveys show that 42% of internet users use IM, with 36% using it daily. IM is most popular among younger age groups. Libraries are increasingly offering IM reference services to attract young patrons and communicate with users and staff. The document discusses trends in IM usage and provides recommendations for libraries to consider IM outreach.

About Web and E-mail
The document provides information about web browsers, email, and how they work. It discusses:
- How web browsers connect to web servers to access web pages coded in HTML and display them, with hyperlinks allowing navigation between pages.
- The basics of email, how it works by sending messages between users through email servers, and some common functions like compose, reply, forward, and attach files.
- Two common ways for users to access their email - through a webmail interface or by using email software like Outlook Express to download messages from the server to their computer.
Workshop 1 2021
The document provides an agenda and objectives for a computer workshop. It outlines that students will introduce themselves, attend all workshops, be respectful of others, and take responsibility for their grades. The content objectives are to learn about computer components, systems, history, operating systems, and communication standards. Language objectives are to read, write and discuss technical topics in English, and enhance vocabulary. The agenda includes reviewing online platforms, forming groups, addressing questions, defining computer terms, and discussing digital portfolios. The workshop aims to teach foundational computer knowledge and skills in English.
Instant messaging-final
Instant messaging (IM) allows users to have real-time conversations over the internet. It provides a more casual and informal communication channel compared to email. Popular IM services include Yahoo, AOL, and MSN Messenger. While IM conversations are more spontaneous than email, security risks are similar and users should avoid sharing sensitive personal information. Compatibility between different IM services can be improved through aggregator software that integrates multiple accounts into one interface.
Snapmail: Report
The document describes Snapmail, a project that allows users to send emails with large attachments by separating the attachment from the email body. The attachment is saved on the user's private cloud (Media@Home box) and replaced with a link in the email. Recipients can then view and download the attachment through the link. Snapmail integrates with an existing social media platform called Media@Home that allows users to store and share media files on their personal cloud box. Snapmail acts as an add-on that links emails to a user's Media@Home account, automatically uploading attachments to their box and replacing it with a link.

Chat, social media & online technologies - Interacting with library users online
By Aaron Tay
As content become increasingly available online through ebooks and ejournals, and our users shift to online methods of searching , communication and interaction, the library needs to evolve to handle these new behavioral patterns.
This talk will describe how NUS Libraries is engaging users online using online chat reference services, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
NUS Libraries is also embracing the elearning and has experimented with a variety of tools and services such as Webex, Breeze as well as videos created using Flash or Camtasia.
With the wealth of tools & services available, which are the right tools? What are users preferences with regards to say online chat reference versus physical chat reference? Attending lectures live online vs. in person? Do users really want or expect to obtain help online versus chat for long research and difficult questions?

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount. Join Pravash Chandra Das on this illuminating journey through the heart of computing. 🌟
