Ebooks via option one (presentation March 2013)cgresser
This document discusses Option 1 for obtaining ebooks via the University Library's ebooks team. Under Option 1, faculties and departments contribute funds to a central pot at the beginning of each financial year. The ebooks team then identifies needed ebooks based on reading lists or requests and obtains access to the ebooks across various platforms within hours or days. While Option 1 has advantages like no need to set up accounts on different platforms and only one payment per year, its disadvantages are a smaller selection of available platforms and less ability to monitor spending during the year. The overall assessment is that not enough ebooks are currently available in digital format to meet academic interest.
The document provides tips for maintaining a blog outside of work. It suggests making blogging a regular habit by posting consistently while focusing on quality over quantity.

Blogging for Absolute Beginners provides a general introduction to blogging. It defines a blog as a weB log or online journal with dated entries that can refer back to earlier posts. The key elements of a blog are an "About" section describing the topic or author, short texts with dates, tags to enable cross-referencing of themes, and the option for readers to comment. Blogs are more interactive than static web pages and encourage reading in chunks. The document recommends blogging to promote library collections and services to users. It advises determining the target audience and promoting the blog through links on the library website, email lists, social media like Twitter and Facebook, and email signatures.
The document provides dos and don'ts for blogging. It recommends doing things like being positive, using images and links, blogging regularly while fitting it into your workflow, and using social media to promote your blog. It recommends not being afraid to experiment, doing it alone, using limited access links, forgetting your blog isn't personal, or being downhearted about low readership. The key is to focus on quality over quantity.

1. Elemental Economics - Introduction to mining.pdfNeal Brewster

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Understanding how timely GST payments influence a lender's decision to approve loans, this topic explores the correlation between GST compliance and creditworthiness.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
