Steps in Using RSS in PubMed/Medline
If you would like to keep current on biomedical literatures on your area, this is a must view slide.
Reflection on web2.0
The document discusses credible sources of information in Web 2.0. It notes that search engines like Google and Yahoo do not distinguish between academic and personal sources. It recommends using databases like EbscoHost, ProQuest, SciVerse Scopus, PubMed, and EBSCOhost as they weed out less reliable articles. Google Scholar is also suggested but it is not as comprehensive as scholarly databases. The document provides brief descriptions of each of these databases and notes whether they are free resources or require payment. It also provides some tips to evaluate sources like checking the author and references.

Intro to Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a search engine that limits searches to scholarly articles, books, and documents. It uses the same search technology as Google but focuses only on academic sources. When searching on campus, it links directly to the university library's resources to allow access to full-text articles. When searching off campus, users must set up Scholar Settings on their personal computer to enable linking back to library databases for full-text access to articles, otherwise they will only see search results without knowing if the full-text is available through the university.
Navigating Today's Information Landscape
Library catalogs allow users to search a local library's print collection and typically include books, ebooks, films, and special collections. The ECU Libraries catalog searches all fields, including author, title, and subject, at once. When doing subject searches, controlled vocabularies are used to ensure consistency in describing topics.

A workshop as part of series of online workshops, stemmed from an LSTA grant to educate librarians and library school students on makerspaces, especially in academic libraries. October 1, 2014
Makers, making, and makerspaces online workshop #1
This document discusses a library's LSTA grant project to bring maker education to its community. It defines makerspaces as places where communities can work on meaningful projects using tools and expertise, learning skills like STEM. The library will offer workshops in 3D design/printing and circuits, as well as visits to other makerspaces, to teach these maker concepts and skills. It provides resources for makers and information on participating in workshops that introduce skills like 3D design basics.
Makerspace @uncg libraries presentation for LIS688 (june 2014)
The document summarizes the establishment of a makerspace at UNCG Libraries. It describes the initial plan to purchase a 3D printer in August 2013, but issues led to delays getting it working reliably until December 2013. Usage grew steadily once operational. The document advocates embracing failures as learning opportunities and outlines next steps like workshops and a makerspace conference. It invites collaboration on potential projects between the Libraries grant team and academic departments.

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
9
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.
