3D Printing & Libraries
U.S. libraries are at the forefront of digital technologies like 3D printing. 3D printing allows objects to be built from digital files in layers. Libraries use 3D printing for projects like prototypes, prosthetics, art, and education. As 3D printing democratizes technology, libraries can help patrons create and share content while teaching STEM skills. Policies around content, fees, and liability are needed to guide 3D printing services in libraries.

Terra incognita with no GPS: A case study approach to mapping assessment
Amy Hofer & Margot Hanson. From Loex-of-the-West 2010 conference program: "We need evidence of our value to justify the library budget, gain buy-in from faculty, and please accreditors, but the process of gathering meaningful evidence can be quite a challenge. After all, were you trained to do this kind of research? Neither were we, but the Assessment Coordinator that our university hired in preparation for a WASC visit guided us through our study design. Drawing on this relationship with a neutral expert outside the library, two business librarians at Golden Gate University designed an effective learning assessment of our instruction to our school’s intensive ESL program. We’ll use the valuable lessons we learned as a starting point for small-group exploration of some real-world assessment territory."
Student to Superhero: Freshmen Tell Their Research Stories
The document discusses using comics instead of essays for reflective assignments to encourage more creativity, personality, and engagement from students. It notes that typical reflection essays tend to sound the same and may not genuinely reflect students' learning. By using comics, students could show their metacognition and understanding of new knowledge in a more creative format that incorporates humor and their own voice. The goal would be to foster deeper reflection through a more creative medium compared to traditional essays.
LILO and Laulima: Assessing Information Literacy Local-style
Presentation by Lari-Anne Au and Margot Hanson for Hawaii Library Association at Grand Wailea, Maui. Highlights two tools being used in Hawaii for assessment: LILO, the UH system information literacy tutorial, and Laulima, the UH system course management software.

Guess what -- you don't need to do learning assessment on a 45-minute one-shot presentation. Instruction librarians at Golden Gate University learned this and much more when an Assessment Coordinator arrived to help prepare our school for WASC. Oakleaf & Hinchliffe (2008) identify lack of coordination as one of the barriers librarians face in conducting assessment, and we found that having a smart, committed, and trustworthy coordinator made all the difference to our research project. We leveraged the Assessment Coordinator's expertise to stay focused on a project that produced valid and useful results from an in-depth learning assessment to measure student learning in an English Language Learners program. Our presentation focuses on the people connections that made this assessment work: between librarian collaborators, with students and instructors in the ELL program, and all the way upstairs to our University-wide assessment coordinator. We'll talk about how we designed our assessment and - phew - let go of post-instruction evaluation forms. Participants will get a fresh look at how information literacy assessment can benefit from upstairs-downstairs collaboration (floor plan not included)!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2014, led by Margot Hanson and Michele Van Hoeck
BETTER RESEARCH PAPERS: WORKSHOP YOUR HANDOUT
2:00-3:30 PM, LIBRARY GREEN ROOM
Would you like to see higher quality research papers from students? Are you discouraged by grading papers with weak sources or insufficient citation? Drawing on recommendations from studies of student research habits, as well as librarian experience working with Cal Maritime students, attendees will work with a partner to revise one of their own research assignment handouts (prompts).
NOTE: Please bring a paper copy of one of your research paper assignments to the workshop.
Teaching visualization: effective communication in visual formats
This document discusses effective strategies for teaching visual literacy. It defines a visually literate person as someone who can interpret visual media, use images effectively to design and communicate, and understand ethical issues related to visuals. It provides examples of visual literacy standards and competencies, such as determining needed visual materials and interpreting meanings from images. Effective practices for presentations using visuals are also outlined, such as using images and words together, limiting one idea per slide, and making slides understandable within three seconds. Sample assignments are proposed to help students develop visual communication skills.
Who do they think we are? Addressing library identity perception in the academy
This document summarizes a presentation given at the CARL Conference on April 6, 2014. It discusses a presentation given by Margot Hanson from California Maritime Academy and Annis Lee Adams from Golden Gate University titled "Who do they think we are? Addressing library identity perception in the academy." The presentation looked at how librarians are perceived by others and discussed research into how academics write about libraries and librarians online. It provided an overview of several studies and articles on topics such as the value of academic libraries, how academics use online forums, online disinhibition effects, and analyzing comments on library-related articles. Attendees were asked about their experiences with online commenting.
Speed Dating for Project Management Software
This document summarizes a presentation on selecting project management software for libraries. It discusses common project management principles and challenges libraries face in selecting software. It provides case studies on libraries that used Trello and other tools. The presentation evaluates Microsoft Project, Basecamp, Jira, and Trello for their fit with different project needs and budgets. It concludes that the right software depends on a library's specific projects and team size, and that tools alone don't ensure effective project management.
Tripping Hazards: Where Do Patrons Stumble on our Website?
The document summarizes a project to analyze usage data and conduct user interviews to identify areas for improvement on a university library website. Data from Google Analytics, surveys, and interviews showed patrons got stuck navigating sections and were unclear on what content could be found in certain areas. Changes were then implemented to titles, navigation tabs, and content based on these findings. Future analysis of usage and usability testing after changes was discussed to continue iterating on improvements.
Visual Slide Design: Translating ideas into images
This document discusses using visuals to enhance slide design and learning. It notes that pictures are remembered better than words, especially with brief exposures. Using images and text together maximizes retention. Visuals should reinforce the same information. The "picture superiority effect" is widely used in marketing through visuals in posters, brochures, and reports. Research shows recognition doubles for pictures versus text. The document provides tips for effective visual slide design such as using one idea per slide and leaving white space. It encourages taking time to translate ideas into images.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.
