This document discusses a new online resource called NCompass Live that will take place on July 24th, 2013. It describes NCompass Live as a portal for discovery of content, a platform to build upon through its open API, and as having a strong public option through its national network. The document provides details on the types of content that will be available through content and service hubs, and how developers, partners, and supporters can get involved.
This document outlines guidelines for Open Walked Event-based Experimentations (OWEE). OWEE events involve walking conversations in cities to share narratives. They include seminars, workshops, visits, walks, and topical conversations created and improvised by participants. Events are connected through an opening loop, indoor-outdoor conversational loop, and concluding discussions. Past and future events are extended through social networks and projects. Emergent practices include using hashtags, mixing local and outside participants, and written and spoken narrations. The "OWEE box" provides practical resources for community managers to facilitate immediate and distant conversations between stakeholders through digital and spoken narrations. Feedback from past walks emphasizes breaks, avoiding cliques, tweeting while walking

NCompass Live - Sept. 25, 2013.
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
This document lists the websites of various U.S. government cabinet departments and agencies. It provides the department name, website URL, and secretary for 13 federal departments. It then lists several agencies and programs within each department along with their websites. The sites cover a wide range of topics from agriculture and commerce to veterans affairs, transportation, and state department international programs. The document was compiled by Laura Johnson of the Nebraska Library Commission on August 22, 2012.
The document summarizes UNK's transition from separate academic support services like the writing center and peer tutoring into a centralized Learning Commons. It describes the original vision for collaboration, challenges in the transition like delayed construction, and the eventual success of the Learning Commons which opened in 2011. Usage increased 30% following its development. The Learning Commons brings together the library, tutoring, writing center and other services to support students.
Series books were once criticized as trash but became popular with the creation of characters like Nancy Drew; Edward Stratemeyer established the model for series fiction with his Stratemeyer Syndicate which produced many famous characters under pseudonyms following specific guidelines; while attitudes have changed, series books continue to evolve and reflect trends while entertaining readers for over a century.
The document provides guidance for creating video summaries of public domain works by having community members read passages aloud, including preparing texts and equipment, filming readings over multiple sessions, editing recordings, adding music, and posting the final videos online and displaying in the library. It estimates the time commitment is around 24 hours total and costs range from $0 if using an existing phone to $350 for a camera and editing software.
We are very pleased that Andy Jewell, editor of the Willa Cather Archive and co-editor of the new Selected Letters of Willa Cather, will join us on NCompass Live on Wednesday, June 5, 2013. He will discuss the story behind the writing and publishing of O Pioneers!, the 2013 One Book, One Nebraska selection that is also celebrating its 100th anniversary. The book, which Cather called her second first novel, emerged at a critical period in Cather’s life. In 1912, she had just left her job at McClure’s Magazine and ventured to Arizona to visit her brother. Her experiences there–and the confidence she regained–made her feel that her mind had been freshly washed and ironed, and were ready for a new life. With O Pioneers! she attempted a new kind of writing, something far afield from the Boston and London environs of her first novel, Alexander’s Bridge. With this new style, as she told her friend, she hit the home pasture. Jewell’s talk will draw heavily on Cather’s biography and, especially, her letters of the period to provide a behind-the-scenes look into the creation of O Pioneers!.
In this ninth year of One Book One Nebraska, Nebraska libraries and other literary and cultural organizations continue to plan activities and events to encourage all Nebraskans to read and discuss the same book. Join us to hear more about this statewide reading promotion activity, sponsored by the Nebraska Library Commission and the Nebraska Center for the Book.

This document introduces a portal that allows users to discover digital content from various cultural heritage institutions through exploration of exhibits, saved searches, and virtual bookshelves. It also functions as a platform for developers to build applications through its open API, which provides access to millions of digitized items. Finally, it discusses the portal serving as a strong public option that has national reach but local impact by partnering with institutions around the country to aggregate and share their digital collections.
The document discusses the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), which aggregates metadata from cultural heritage institutions to make their digital collections more discoverable. It describes DPLA as a portal for discovery, a platform to build upon, and a strong public option. DPLA gets funding from private foundations and public agencies. It went live in 2013 and allows users to explore collections through time and place or curated exhibits. Cultural institutions contribute content through hubs. DPLA's API allows innovative apps to access millions of items. The goal is to maximize discovery and use of collections from libraries, archives and museums.

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library.
Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application.

Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.
Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.

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
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.

Who knows about the DPLA already? The mission of the DPLA is to bring together the riches of America ’s libraries, archives, and museums, and to make them freely available to the world. The DPLA achieves this mission through its three main elements: A portal for discovery that delivers students, teachers, scholars, and the public to incredible resources from across the nation. A platform that enables new and transformative uses of our digitized cultural heritage An advocate for a strong public option in the 21 st century.
The DPLA portal (http://dp.la/) serves as the point of access to over 2.5 million items—photographs, manuscripts, books, sounds, moving images, and more—from libraries, archives, and museums around the United States. Users can browse and search the DPLA ’s collections by timeline, map, format, and topic; save items to customized lists; and share their lists with others. Users can also explore digital exhibitions curated by the DPLA’s content partners and staff.
The objects in the DPLA cover hundreds of years of our cultural heritage. You can browse by century, decade, and year using the DPLA ’s innovative timeline.
Curious to see what resources the DPLA has from your home state? From your college town? From the city where your parents were born? Hundreds of thousands of the objects in our database can be viewed on our map interface.
The DPLA and its partners have curated a series of virtual exhibitions highlighting specific themes, such as activism in the United States, Prohibition, and a joint exhibition with Europeana, the pan-Europeana digital library, that tells the story of European emigration to the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. These exhibitions include full photographs and detailed information about special topics.
You can Sign up with the site as well. Registering for a DPLA account will allow you to create lists and save items and searches for your reference. At the end of the slides, we will actually get on the site and take a look around.
The DPLA Digital Hubs Pilot Program is a program to design a national network out of the over 40state/regional digital libraries and myriad large digital libraries in the US. The DPLA partners with these state/regional aggregators and large digital libraries to bring together content from across the US. Note that the DPLA aggregates metadata records—the information that describes an item, such as its creator, date, place, and so forth—not the content itself. Each record in the DPLA links to the original object on the content provider ’s website. What ’s the difference between service and content hubs? (Next slide…)
The Content hubs are large digital libraries, museums, archives, or repositories that maintain a one-to-one relationship with the DPLA. Content hubs, as a general rule, provide more than 250,000 unique metadata records that resolve to digital objects (online texts, photographs, manuscript material, art work, etc.) to the DPLA, and commit to maintaining and editing those records as needed. As of July 2013, the Content hubs include the following institutions: ARTstor Biodiversity Heritage Library David Rumsey Map Collection Harvard Library HathiTrust Digital Library National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) New York Public Library Smithsonian Institution University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University of Virginia
The DPLA Service hubs are state or regional digital libraries that aggregate information about digital objects from libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions within its given state or region. Each Service hub offers its state or regional partners a full menu of standardized digital services, including digitization, metadata assistance and training, data aggregation and storage services, as well as locally hosted community outreach programs, bringing users in contact with digital content of local relevance. As of July 2013, the Service hubs include the following institutions: Digital Commonwealth (Massachusetts) Digital Library of Georgia Kentucky Digital Library Minnesota Digital Library Mountain West Digital Library (Utah, Nevada, Southern Idaho, Arizona) South Carolina Digital Library
To help visualize the relationship between the different pieces of the Service hub relationship , one can imagine your local historical society or public library as a pond, containing in it unique, valuable cultural content. These ponds send their content through tributaries to the lakes, the DPLA Service hubs, which aggregate data from the various cultural heritage institutions across their state or region, the ponds. The Service hubs then feed this content through rivers to the ocean, the DPLA.
In addition to serving as a content portal for students, teachers, scholars, and the public, the DPLA is also a powerful platform that enables new and transformative uses of our digitized cultural heritage. With an application programming interface (API) and maximally open data, the DPLA can be used by software developers, researchers, and others to create novel environments for learning, tools for discovery, and engaging apps.
Through the DPLA ’s powerful, open API , developers from all walks of life can build tools, programs, widgets, plug-ins, and all kinds of interesting things. (An API can be described as a set of routines, protocols, and digital tools for building software applications. An API is a software-to-software interface, not a user interface. With APIs, applications talk to each other without any user knowledge or intervention. A good API makes it easier for a developer to create an application that makes use of a particular set or sets of data by providing all the building blocks needed to integrate into his or her design. A software company, for instance, releases its API to the public so that other software developers can design products that are powered by its service.) The DPLA App Library contains a handful of applications built by independent developers interested in seeing what open cultural heritage data can look in new and interesting contexts. (Examples included over next two slides…)
OpenPics, for instance, is an open source iOS application for viewing images from multiple remote sources, including the DPLA API. Download it now for free from the Apple store!
Culture Collage is a simple tool that lets you search the DPLA ’s image archives and view the results in a stream of images. Just keep scrolling to fetch more. Clicking on an image saves it to a scrapbook without losing your position in the stream.
Want a local copy of the DPLA ’s data? All data in the DPLA repository (and provided through the API) is available for download. These include the standard DPLA fields, as well as the complete record received from the partner.
All data brought into the DPLA from its partners is normalized to the DPLA Metadata Application Profile (MAP) and enriched with useful information, such as geospatial data. GeoNames, for instance, is a geographical database containing millions of unique geographical names corresponding to discrete places on the globe. Through enrichments like this the DPLA is making cultural heritage data more useful and relevant to its users.
For most of American history, the ability to access materials for free through public libraries has been a central part of our culture, producing generations of avid readers and a knowledgeable, engaged citizenry. The DPLA works, along with like-minded organizations and individuals, to ensure that this critical, open intellectual landscape remains vibrant and broad in the face of increasingly restrictive digital options . The DPLA seeks to multiply openly accessible materials to strengthen the public option that libraries represent in their communities. The DPLA wants to operate fully within copyright law. Still, the DPLA thinks there are alternate models out there that can creatively expand our access to important cultural materials.
With institutions like Creative Commons, Unglue.it, History Harvest, and others, the DPLA advocates for broad and deep open access ecology. (Transition to next slide, which provides information on the aforementioned institutions...) Creative Commons – Non-profit that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. Their free, easy-to-use copyright licenses provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. Unglue.it – Can be thought of as a Kickstarter for books. Through this model, publishers or authors post their books and provide a dollar figure at which they ’ll release an open access e-book copy. People contribute money a la Kickstarter to get a book “unglued.” History Harvest: From the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. At each “harvest,” community-members are invited to bring and share their letters, photographs, objects and stories, and participate in a conversation about the significance and meaning of their materials. Each artifact is digitally captured by college students and then shared in this free web-based archive for general educational use and study.
The DPLA is also a deep supporter of the open culture community, including the OpenGLAM and GLAM Wiki initiatives ( G alleries, L ibraries, A rchives, M useums).
All things considered, the DPLA is an ever-growing national network of libraries, archives, museums, cultural heritage institutions, and volunteers, with a local impact in our communities, strengthened by a global reach.
