Information sources, Academic writing and Reference managementVenkitachalam Sriram
This document provides information about academic writing and reference management. It discusses various information sources for research, including journal databases, statistical databases, theses and dissertations, multimedia resources, and bibliographic databases. It also describes the reference management software Zotero, highlighting its key features. Finally, the document offers tips for academic writing such as general thesis formatting, organizing the document into chapters and headings, and common organizational structures for clinical and analytical theses.
Transforming liaison roles for academic librarians is critical, as universities are moving to position themselves to meet the demands of a more competitive national research environment. At La Trobe University, librarians are repackaging current research support services to streamline and incorporate these more efficiently into the researcher’s life cycle, in order to support the University’s research initiatives
Objectives: To explore potential collaborations between academic libraries and Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA)-funded institutes with respect to
data management training and support.
Methods: The National Institutes of Health CTSAs have established a well-funded, crucial infrastructure supporting large-scale collaborative biomedical research. This infrastructure is also valuable for smaller, more localized research projects. While infrastructure and corresponding support is often available for large, well-funded projects, these services have generally not been extended to smaller projects. This is a missed opportunity on both accounts. Academic libraries providing data services can leverage CTSA-based resources, while CTSA-funded institutes can extend their reach beyond large biomedical projectsto serve the long tail of research data.
Results: A year-long series of conversations with the Indiana CTSI Data Management Team resulted in resource sharing, consensus building about key issues in data management, provision of expert feedback on a data management training curriculum, and several avenues for future collaborations.
Conclusions:Data management training for graduate students and early career researchers is a vital area of need that would benefit from the combined infrastructure and expertise of translational science institutes and academic libraries. Such partnerships can leverage the instructional, preservation, and access expertise in academic libraries, along with the storage, security, and analytical expertise in translational science institutes to improve the management, protection, and access of valuable research data.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Ross Todd on effective school libraries. Some key points:
- School libraries help students learn by supporting curriculum, developing literacy skills, and providing instruction on information literacy and technology.
- Research shows student achievement increases when libraries are staffed by qualified teacher-librarians who collaborate with teachers.
- Effective school libraries have sufficient resources and technology, and view their role as developing student knowledge rather than just providing information. They focus on learning outcomes over other metrics.
- Evidence-based practice is important for school libraries to demonstrate how they specifically contribute to student learning. This helps justify resources and focus efforts on effective strategies.
This document discusses data curation roles and education. It outlines a study to identify key responsibilities of data curators through a content analysis of job descriptions and interviews.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
