Send Help: The Latest on Student Research Behavior and What We Can Do About itpfcoco
Student research behaviors have changed with new technologies, requiring different skills in areas like citations, information organization, and judgment. Proper training can help students adapt to researching in today's environment and evaluating information critically. New approaches are needed to guide students on responsible and effective research practices.
iSchool Presentation to Mobile Monday in ZambiaMark Bennett
Mobile internet access is growing in Zambia but still faces several challenges:
1) Internet access is still expensive due to infrastructure costs like long distances to internet peering points and high taxes.
2) There is a lack of awareness and local Zambian content online.
3) Affordable internet-enabled devices are still not widely available.
However, increasing fiber connectivity and falling device prices mean mass market internet use in Zambia could emerge in the next year if appropriate local content is developed. Examples discussed include educational content, local news/media, and agricultural information.
The document discusses the challenges facing primary education in Africa and introduces iSchool's approach to addressing these challenges through the use of low-cost tablets called ZEduPads. iSchool has developed a total learning environment covering the entire primary school curriculum across all subjects. This environment is delivered via the ZEduPad tablet and includes detailed lesson plans, interactive multimedia lessons, and teacher training materials. Trials in Zambian schools have shown improved literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills. iSchool aims to make this approach sustainable and benefit local communities.
The document discusses crowdsourcing librarian perspectives and making a case for librarians when they are not present. It outlines a research guidance rubric and workshop goals to build skills, raise awareness, and learn. The workshop aimed to help students with research elements of writing and used feedback forms to gauge increased proficiency in using library subject guides and research assistance after attending. It concludes by considering the future implications.
Driving can be dangerous for both animals and humans. Many animals are killed each year after wandering onto roads. Common roadkill includes squirrels, opossums, and deer. Drivers should be cautious, especially at dawn and dusk when animals are most active.
Driving is a privilege that requires responsibility. It is important to always follow traffic laws, never drive distracted or impaired, and be aware of one's surroundings. Safe driving helps ensure the well-being of all people sharing the road.

Cloudflow: Using Tailored Workflows and Cloud Computing to Get Better Materia...pfcoco
Using tailored workflows and cloud computing, the liaison librarian at Grand Valley State University streamlined materials requests from faculty. The original process involved faculty submitting batch requests with metadata to a graduate assistant, who then forwarded the requests to the librarian. The new process has the graduate assistant directly training with and communicating with faculty to submit individualized requests electronically with metadata. This allows requests to be handled more efficiently to meet deadlines and budgets while improving communication and relevance of materials obtained.
Using tailored workflows and cloud computing, the liaison librarian at Grand Valley State University streamlined the materials request process. The original process involved faculty submitting paper requests to graduate assistants who compiled them into spreadsheets. This caused delays and missed deadlines. The new process has faculty submit individual online requests directly to the librarian, which includes metadata and is tracked in the cloud. This allows for faster fulfillment of requests and better communication between all parties. The librarian hopes to replicate this improved process at other institutions.
Driving is a privilege that requires responsibility. It is important to always drive safely and follow the rules of the road. As a new driver, it is essential to practice defensive driving techniques and avoid distractions to keep yourself and others safe on the road.
The document summarizes three tools used by Grand Valley State University Libraries to assess student learning and integrate information literacy skills into the curriculum:
1) SAILS is a standardized assessment tool that measures students' information literacy skills and allows GVSU to benchmark against other institutions.
2) The ILCC document defines the library's core competencies and provides a framework for collaboration across campus on information literacy.
3) The Research Guidance Rubric is used to evaluate research assignments and collaborate with faculty on integrating key skills into coursework.

Student research behaviors have changed with new technologies, requiring different skills in areas like citations, information organization, and judgment. Proper training can help students adapt to researching in the digital age and evaluating online sources. New approaches are needed to guide students on responsible and effective research practices using current tools and resources.
The 4029 IC is a 4-bit binary counter that counts the number of clock pulses received on its clock pin and outputs the count on its 4 output pins, with pin 1 being the most significant bit and pin 7 the least significant bit. It has additional pins to load a value in parallel or reset the count, and indicates when the count is complete through the TC bar pin going low.
