Search engines work by sending out computer programs called spiders or robots to search the web and index pages. They gather information from pages, store it in a database, and allow users to search for pages using keywords. Search engines rank results based on an algorithm that considers things like how many other sites link to a page. However, not all web pages are accessible to search engines, with some excluded due to technical barriers or search engine policies. Developing an effective search strategy involves considering relevance, precision, and recall as well as using tools like Boolean logic and phrase searching.

Evaluation of Web Scale Discovery Services
Web scale Discovery services are becoming the most sought after solution for Libraries to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. Many studies show that these services are getting wide acceptance from users as well as Library staff and making revolution in Library Information retrieval arena. Given such broad implications, selecting a new discovery service for libraries is an important undertaking. Library professionals should carefully evaluate options to meet their goal of finding the best potential match for their library. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery, how it differs from federated searching and highlights the important parameters to be considered for taking an informed and confident decision on selecting discovery service.
How discovery impacts of users' experiences
In the 21st century the academic library supports both research activities and teaching outcomes of faculty members and students through web-scale discovery services. These discovery services embrace new technologies to provide deep discovery of vast scholarly collections from a one-stop access interface, relying on a central index of pre-harvested data. With unified indexing of full-text library content, users’ experience of search and retrieval is greatly improved.
Discovery is changing the way that library users find and access library materials, especially electronic resources. In the opening part of this presentation, I will share my experiences of using different discovery systems – Summon, Primo and Enterprise – in my current and previous roles, in term of differences, strengths and common areas among these tools. Relevant findings from the literature and latest research reports will be sketched. I will also speak of how technical services teams can support the next generation of discovery systems that will help the progress of the digital library field. The presentation will conclude with the approach of technical services towards future discovery.

How to find information on the internet
This document provides information on various ways to find medical information on the internet, including going directly to websites you know the addresses for, using search engines, exploring subject directories, and accessing databases. It discusses how search engines work by having crawlers collect web pages and create an index, and the importance of carefully evaluating search results. Subject directories contain organized browsable categories maintained by experts. Databases store searchable information in fields like libraries and can provide peer-reviewed articles. Specific medical databases discussed are PsycINFO, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL. Google Scholar is also mentioned as including various scholarly publications but requiring evaluation.
Web Scale Discovery Services: Google like search experience
This document discusses web-scale discovery services as a solution for users' difficulties in finding relevant information from a library's resources. It notes that users often start their research on Google instead of the library website due to the library lacking a single search point for all subscribed resources. A web-scale discovery service provides a Google-like search experience through pre-harvesting and indexing all library resources into a unified index, allowing users to search across materials from a single search box. The document outlines several advantages of discovery services over traditional federated search engines or Google Scholar, such as improved relevancy ranking and the ability to filter by peer-reviewed or subject indexes. Studies show discovery services can increase usage of library resources and user satisfaction

Blackboard Preppers
Record enrollments, a new version of Blackboard, limited staff equals a recipe for disaster! See how Fresno State survived with the Blackboard Student Orientation course.
In this presentation you will learn first-hand how Fresno State prepared students for Blackboard 9.1 Service Pack 13. Faced with a record freshman enrollment and skyrocketing online courses, ensuring that students had the technology and the skills to be successful in the online classroom was paramount. To meet this challenge, the Blackboard 9.1 Student Orientation Course was developed. This course, available to all students, was built on best practices in online course design with a focus on active engagement. Students enrolling in the course came away with hands-on experience with all the Blackboard 9.1 tools, knowledge of the Fresno State interface, and a Certificate of Completion, which they received after demonstrating skills through an assessment.
Encouraged by faculty, and the chance to win prizes, nearly 2000 students self-enrolled at the beginning of the fall 2013 semester. The course, facilitated by an Instructional Designer and student assistants, proved to help students became comfortable with the tools and technology used in online courses and provided a safe space for asking Blackboard related questions. This was clearly evident by the reduced number of "how to" calls to the Blackboard Resource Center on campus.
Using a backchannel to drive discussion and answer questions, the presenter ensures that you will come away from this session with a sustainable plan that you can immediately implement on your campus for preparing students to use Blackboard. In addition to the course, you may take away a module that instructors can import into their own course and customize . The goal is that students are prepared for the technology so that they are able to focus on the content and assignments once the course begins.

This document discusses assessment and evaluation in blended teaching. It distinguishes between assessing student learning and evaluating course design/teaching. It describes traditional and new forms of online assessment, such as allowing additional resources on discussion forums. It recommends Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATS), like muddiest point exercises, for formative feedback. Rubrics are also suggested to make expectations explicit and improve student performance. CATS and rubrics provide feedback, reduce workload, and encourage learning dialogue between instructors and students.
TEC 948 & TEC 965 Overview
This document summarizes two online teaching courses. The first course, TEC 948, explores the history and evolution of online teaching and strategies for effective online instruction. It aims to strengthen skills for online teaching and meet needs of 21st century students. The second course, TEC 965, focuses on designing an online course module using Moodle. It guides participants in instructional design and creating standards-aligned online learning activities using sound pedagogical principles. Both courses emphasize skills for online instruction and use of educational technology.
Teaching strategies
The document discusses the differences between the roles of instructors in traditional classrooms versus online classrooms. In traditional classrooms, the instructor takes a teacher-centered role by lecturing and pacing lessons, while online instructors take a more student-centered role by facilitating activities and discussions. It then outlines seven principles of good teaching practice for online instructors, such as encouraging contact between students and faculty and giving prompt feedback, and how technologies can help implement these principles through tools like discussion boards and collaborative activities.
Overviewof onlineteachingandlearning
The document compares traditional and online learning theories and characteristics. Traditional learning is based on behaviorist views that knowledge exists independently of the learner, while online learning follows constructivist views that knowledge is created by the learner. Traditional learning is highly structured and teacher-centered, while online learning is learner-centered, emphasizes collaboration, and allows students to construct knowledge with the teacher as a facilitator. A key difference is that online learning provides a flexible, interactive environment that encourages participation from all students.
Netp overview
The document discusses the National Education Technology Plan and how it supports the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act. It outlines seven action steps proposed by the plan, including strengthening leadership, improving teacher training, supporting e-learning, and integrating data systems.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
