Using lib guides as a web 2 platform and collaboration tool for engineering l...Richard Bernier
1) LibGuides is a content management system designed for libraries that incorporates Web 2.0 features like allowing users to suggest resources, rate resources, and leave comments. It allows for collaboration between librarians on subject guides.
2) While LibGuides enables some user interaction, it lacks features like allowing users to create their own accounts and communicate directly with other users or librarians.
3) The presenter observed high usage of LibGuides guides and chat features at his library, but little usage of commenting or linking suggestion features by users. Integration with additional library systems could expand its capabilities.
Are you suffering with information overload? Trying to keep abreast of the latest research papers, industry or educational news, updates from professional organisations, conferences, government reports, and ever-changing websites can be a challenge. RSS feeds are an excellent way of bringing relevant content to your desktop and keeping you up-to-date with new items of interest in your teaching or research subject areas, allowing you to control what information you access and how and when you access it.
In this workshop, participants will learn how to use RSS feeds, and bookmarking and citation tools, to help organise and manage online research material. This practical session will look at how to find and use feeds from key journals, publisher websites, and online library catalogues, as well as how to make the most of Learning Centre’s electronic resources to export, tag, and share your articles and links.

What's on the Horizon? Trends and Trials in Educational TechnologyMelissa Rethlefsen
For the past 10 years, the New Media Consortium has released an annual Horizon Report, evaluating current trends in technology, and forecasting newer technologies' importance and uptake in education over a multi-year horizon. We will review previous Horizon Reports' predictions with a focus on the 2014 Horizon Report Higher Ed Edition's findings and forecasts. Particular emphasis will be placed on challenges in the educational technology realm, including faculty training and readiness, innovation scalability, and the ultimate question - when should new technologies be used? Are we jumping on the bandwagon? When should we jump off? http://stream.lib.utah.edu/index.php?c=details&id=10298
Presented at LOEX Conference 2008
Students love Wikipedia, but often don't understand wikis. In several sections of our for-credit IL courses at Wake Forest University, we have replaced the Annotated Bibliography with a wiki as the final project. We have found that this encourages collaboration among students, increases the engagement with the material and fosters a deeper understanding of the concepts of wikis and their place in the information landscape. This session will outline how we implemented wikis, how they worked, how they were received by students and what lessons we learned along the way.
This document discusses changes made to the LIB100 course at Wake Forest University to move away from individual annotated bibliographies as the final project. The course adopted wikis and Google Docs to enable collaborative group projects instead. This change was made to better teach students how to produce good research and evaluate sources, and to reduce grading time spent on individual projects. The collaborative nature of wikis and Google Docs allows students to work in groups on research reports and presentations for the final project.

MLA's Public Health/Health Administration Cool Web Things Task Force and the ...Melissa Rethlefsen
The MLA's Public Health/Health Administration Section formed a task force to assess the use of Web 2.0 technologies by its members and identify options for improving communication. Two surveys found that most members used blogs and RSS feeds weekly and supported converting the newsletter to a blog format. Based on these results, the newsletter was converted to a blog in 2008 and a Delicious account was created to share links. The task force identified key focus areas and used member feedback to guide the adoption of appropriate Web 2.0 tools.
The document summarizes surveys conducted by the Medical Library Association's Task Force on Social Networking Software in 2007 and 2008. In the initial 2007 survey, 495 MLA members completed the survey and reported that blogs, RSS feeds, and wikis were the most important social software tools for the association. The 2008 follow-up survey had 132 respondents and found that library type and years of experience influenced members' use and beliefs about different technologies. Educational events held by MLA between the surveys were effective in increasing members' knowledge and implementation of social media in their libraries.
This document discusses cool Web 2.0 tools and their benefits. It introduces blogs, wikis, social networking sites, Twitter, media sharing, and health tools people use online. Examples mentioned include Flickr and how social aspects, user participation, and low costs make Web 2.0 tools valuable.
The document discusses a course taken by health sciences faculty to teach them about Web 2.0 tools and how to incorporate them into education.

Faculty participants provided feedback on the tools, with many finding benefits like increased sharing of information, enabling student learning, and new ways for collaboration. However, participants also noted that using new technologies requires time and support for faculty.
This document discusses a faculty member's experience learning about Web 2.0 tools through an online program. The faculty member notes that the program increased their confidence with blogs, RSS feeds, and other tools. While the support of instructors was helpful, the material seemed better suited for younger people who grew up with computers rather than older "Baby Boomers" who learned the internet through trial and error. Overall, the faculty member expresses appreciation for the class and gratitude for how much was learned.
Cross-Country Connections: Implementing Learning 2.0 in a Multistate Medical ...Melissa Rethlefsen
This document describes a study that assessed staff satisfaction and knowledge gain from a 13-week Learning 2.0 course taught across a multistate medical library system. Staff reported significant increases in knowledge of various Web 2.0 tools from before to after the course. Completers of the course reported higher overall satisfaction than non-completers. While the course was successful in increasing staff knowledge of new tools, it required a significant time commitment that was challenging for some staff to meet.
The document discusses changing roles for libraries and librarians in serving the biomedical research community. It outlines new roles like informationists, outreach, and increasing the library's virtual presence. It also covers challenges around scholarly communication and increasing the visibility of the library to faculty and students. The opportunities discussed include shaping open access initiatives and digital repositories as well as increasing library spaces and services.
The document discusses strategies for maximizing the use of internet search engines to find information online. It provides an overview of how search engines work and their limitations, and recommends using multiple search engines and keywords, Boolean operators, quotation marks, and specialized databases to improve search results. The document also suggests exploring options beyond search engines, such as using library resources and subject directories for more in-depth information.

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

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

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.
