This document provides guidance on conducting research for an annotated bibliography. It outlines strategies for developing a research plan, finding relevant resources in the library catalog and databases, and managing citations. Key steps include asking a question about the topic, using broad keyword searches and Boolean logic to find sources, evaluating primary and secondary sources, and keeping track of citations. The document also reviews tools for conducting research, including the research guide, subject-specific databases, newspapers, and interlibrary loan.
- introduce some of the principles of information literacy
- talk about constructing a search strategy and implementing some search techniques
- show students how to use the library's resources (catalogs, databases, and LibGuides)
- discuss evaluating information sources
- using information ethically and legally (citation styles)
Online library session for Dr. DeFalco's ENGL416 course, "Literature and the Sea." Using these recommendations will greatly assist the success of your third research paper for class.
Purpose:
- To introduce you to the need to properly research topics using online resources (although ‘Google’ is now a verb, it isn’t research)
- To equip you with the tools to critically evaluate research found online
- To enable your professional growth as a lifelong learner
Learning Objectives
At the end of this lecture the student should be able to:
- Perform complex searches using Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia and other tools
- Outline the benefits of bookmarking and research tools such as Delicio.us, Digg, and Stumbleupon, and use these tools
- Evaluate research found online for quality
- Properly cite and record online research when you find it using tools such as Evernote or OneNote
Leadership and Management
in Architecture and Design
Success in the practice of architecture, interior design, land-
scape architecture, or any of the related design professions
requires more than design skills. It demands leadership and
strategic thinking. It requires an ability to identify goals, to
persuade and lead others, and to manage and direct organiza-
tions and events.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
