The document discusses students' study habits and preferences, with 60% of students at the University of Minnesota indicating they study at home or in dorms rather than libraries. At Carleton College, 78% of students preferred studying in their living quarters to the library. It also discusses learning communities at UNCG, which aim to encourage integration of learning across courses for first-year undergraduate students through an academic component, common residential space, and targeted programming. Having a librarian with office hours and involved in curriculum development and outreach can benefit learning communities.

User Education: Why we still need it in the 21st CenturyScottish Library & Information Council (SLIC), CILIP in Scotland (CILIPS)
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for information consultants and libraries. It notes changing user preferences towards more open access information online rather than physical collections. While search engines are popular starting points, databases require more training. Younger generations are more accustomed to evaluating large amounts of online information. The role of libraries is ensuring users can effectively search, evaluate, and ethically use information for learning as needs change. Opportunities exist for libraries to guide users on search refinement, evaluation, and avoiding plagiarism using familiar tools.User education and information literacy - Innovative strategies and practices

Study Critique
The document summarizes a study on college students' perceptions of an Internet public library (IPL). The study used qualitative analysis of interviews with 10 college students, some familiar with the IPL and some not. It aimed to understand the public perception of what an IPL should be and what services it should offer. Key findings included that participants wanted the IPL to contain both online and physical resources, with connections to local libraries, and desired user-friendly search tools and assistance. However, the small sample size means results may not be generalizable to other groups.

This document summarizes library relief strategies from several countries that have responded to emergency situations. It discusses how libraries in Sweden, Norway, Zambia, Japan, and the United States have provided services to immigrants, refugees, and communities facing crises. Key strengths highlighted include libraries' abilities to increase access to information, generate trust, provide normalcy during uncertainty, and form partnerships to distribute relief efforts. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of communication, partnerships, and commitment to language and culture as guiding principles for creating effective library relief programs.
Collections and budgets: libraries and publishers and collaboration
This document discusses several studies on the roles and perceptions of academic libraries. Some key findings from the studies include:
- Academics value libraries' role in purchasing resources and see this as very important, especially for humanists.
- Few academics think students have strong research skills, but there is little agreement on whose role it is to develop these skills.
- Academics prefer using their library's website, databases, or public search engines over visiting the physical library building.
- Academics select journals to publish in based on characteristics like coverage, readership, and impact factor. Disciplines vary in embracing digital research methods.
Managing key relationships: the Library and the academic world
The document discusses the role of university libraries in supporting academic research and knowledge sharing. It notes that libraries are well-positioned as "intermediaries" that can help disseminate research outputs more widely. The document also summarizes a study which found that industry stakeholders have an unmet need for easier access and validation of research data. It concludes that libraries are uniquely placed to help address current gaps like improving the discoverability, contextualization, and impact tracking of university research.
Nevada
The document discusses strategies for modern academic libraries to promote student engagement. It suggests increasing interactions between librarians and students, providing services that meet student needs and preferences, and measuring user satisfaction through metrics like instruction sessions and technology usage rather than just numbers. The library should be both a learning space and place for study and reflection, and involve collaboration with faculty and innovative teaching methods.
Impact of user education programmes in the library
The document discusses the impact of user education programs at the University of Jaffna library. It finds that the library saw a 20% increase in visitor numbers after implementing orientation sessions, exhibitions, and improvements to existing systems. Surveys found students had higher levels of information literacy and appreciated the additional education. The library also saw greater collaboration with other university departments. The results suggest user education programs are effective at increasing library engagement and developing information literacy skills.

What shapes how academic librarians think about their instruction? And why do...IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)
This document discusses how academic librarians think about library instruction and their teaching role. It explores different conceptions of instruction found in the literature, such as teaching, training, and facilitation. It also examines how librarians view the role and value of instruction in their work. The document then discusses research on how teachers' beliefs shape their practice and an ecological model for understanding teaching librarians. The rest of the document provides examples and implications using an ecological model to frame brief profiles of five librarian participants in the author's research on conceptions of instruction.Exploring the need - Kaye Towlson
This document summarizes the information literacy needs and offerings at De Montfort University. It discusses surveying academics and students to understand their perspectives. Academics agreed that students need skills in differentiating information types, expanding searches, and evaluating sources. Students reported feeling mostly confident in their information and digital literacy skills. The university will promote its information literacy program to academics and faculty to improve understanding and student experience. It will also consider future changes in higher education. The information literacy program provides instruction at different levels, including inductions, in-curriculum support, and advanced training for researchers.
The value of libraries hml
This document summarizes challenges faced by academic libraries and strategies for addressing them. It notes that academic libraries have changed more in the past 20 years than the previous 200 due to technology. Libraries face risks of reduced relevance if their value is not effectively communicated. Students now begin research with search engines rather than libraries. The document outlines best practices such as setting expectations for cultural change, collaborating with faculty, and investing in research support services.
Discovering the Needs of Undergraduate Students: An Assessment Survey
The survey assessed undergraduate student needs and found that students lacked awareness of library databases and services. Students requested more popular materials like ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks. They also wanted improved WiFi, outlets, and a better understanding of reference services. The survey provided useful data to enhance information literacy instruction, collections, physical spaces, and student outreach. Students were receptive to sharing feedback through the low-effort in-person survey.

Designing one information literacy website for many types of information seek...IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)
Nanyang Technological University Libraries designed an information literacy website to support the diverse information needs and behaviors of their 23500 undergraduate and 9500 graduate students. They considered behaviors like "berry picking", where users gather bits of information from multiple sources, and how different tasks lead to different search behaviors. The website aims to support the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy and provide learning objects, e-learning modules, and expanded topic coverage with the involvement of subject librarians.Academic library system in Europe, India, UK and USA: A brief overview
The document provides an overview of academic libraries and school libraries. It discusses how academic libraries support university curriculum and research, and outlines the typical phases of development from a single library building to coordinated faculty libraries. School libraries are described as the "heart" of learning communities and as essential for developing lifelong learning skills. Examples are given of resources, services, and collaboration provided by school libraries in countries like the US, UK, and Europe. Challenges facing school libraries like limited budgets and lack of dedicated staff are also mentioned.
Status of Non-Government Secondary School Libraries in Bangladesh: A Survey
Status of Non-Government Secondary School Libraries in Bangladesh: A SurveyZakir Hossain/ICS, Zurich
The focus of this survey is to investigate the status of secondary school libraries in Bangladesh. From the online survey, 91 responses were received. In general, the survey revealed that a significant number of secondary schools have a school library but lack of reading materials and inadequate funding are common. Most of the school libraries provide traditional services such as book lending, in-house book and newspaper reading and only a few have ICT facilities and services, for example, computer, internet and online catalogue search. The finding of this survey has original value and suggestions may help to resolve issues that may adversely impact school library development in Bangladesh.Towards an Information Literacy Continuum: examining the high school to colle...
We know that many students have difficulties meeting faculty expectations for college-level research. Basic search strategies, critical thinking and evaluation skills are often lacking. Increased dialogue between academic librarians, school librarians and teaching faculty could begin to address some of these problems in a proactive manner. This presentation is a small step in that direction. Chris Sweet, Information Literacy Librarian at Illinois Wesleyan University, will introduce this topic from an academic librarian’s perspective. Dana Convery, English and Literature instructor at Prairie Central High School, will discuss high school research from the trenches. What research skills are being taught in the classroom? What role do Illinois Learning Standards play? What barriers are holding high school teachers and librarians back? Finally, an Illinois Wesleyan student will give us insights on his/her personal transition from high school to college researcher.
Supporting Student Success in Gateway Courses: A Library Approach
This document discusses a library approach to supporting student success in gateway courses at Nevada State College. It describes how the library collaborated with a required first-year experience course to develop an online library guide module. Students who participated in the library guide module or used the online library more achieved higher grades on their research assignment compared to students who did not participate or used the library less. The library plans to continue collaborating with faculty and developing online library instruction modules to support student learning outcomes.
Reference in the Commons
This document compares reference services at Kalamazoo College Library (KCL) and Grand Valley State University's Mary Idema Pew Library. Both libraries have learning commons that are less than two years old. At KCL, reference services operate from librarian offices during the week and a reference desk staffed by students evenings and weekends. The Pew Library does not have a reference desk and has research consultants and writing center staff handle most questions. Both libraries provide training to student employees but are still evaluating how the learning commons have affected reference services.

Cultivating connections: Growing Internationalization in your UniversityThe Conference for Entrepreneurial Librarians
This document summarizes strategies for libraries to integrate into university internationalization and intercultural outreach efforts. It recommends that libraries 1) integrate into existing campus cultural programs and events by attending, volunteering, and offering library services aligned with program objectives, 2) seek partners to co-host international programs by sharing responsibilities and designing mutually beneficial programs, and 3) offer independent library programs and collections like language learning software and workshops for international students to directly serve international communities on campus. The strategies aim to make libraries an essential part of the university's goal of preparing students to be ready for the world.The challenges of promoting academic libraries and reference
The document discusses ways to promote academic library services at Brooklyn College. It notes that while Brooklyn College has a large commuter student population and robust library resources, reference desk numbers are low. The author looks at how other colleges use social media like Facebook and Twitter to market their libraries. The summary suggests Brooklyn College's library could use these channels to promote services like chat reference, announce events and closures, and provide librarian recommendations. Proactive marketing on social media could help increase awareness and usage of the library.

Digital Libraries on International Campuses
This document discusses the role of digital libraries in supporting international higher education initiatives. It examines how several universities with international branch campuses provide digital library resources like e-books and e-journals to their offshore programs. The study found that about half of the libraries have separate digital library portals and collections for their international programs, while the other half integrate them into main campus resources. It concludes by proposing further analysis of how effective these digital library portals are and surveying librarians about services for cross-border education.

Transferring Your Skills as a Librarians to Any Profession
This document discusses transferring skills learned in library school and as a librarian to other careers. It begins with an icebreaker for attendees to introduce themselves. The presenter then discusses how skills like critical thinking, communication, and problem solving are developed through various experiences like graduate school, previous jobs, and situational learning but are broadly applicable or "transferable" to different roles. Specific examples are provided like using algebra in unexpected ways.

University Futures, Library Futures: institutional and library directions in ...
The document summarizes a presentation given by Constance Malpas at the OhioLINK Directors Meeting on university and library futures. Malpas discussed a collaboration between OCLC Research and Ithaka S+R examining how the increasing diversification of US higher education impacts academic libraries. As universities invest in different areas like teaching, learning, or research, libraries may shift from a collection-centric model to one that supports each institution's distinctive needs. Malpas presented a model for classifying institutions based on their research, liberal education, or career preparation focus. She noted libraries need to consider how their services align with different institutional types and priorities like student success.

The Info Lit Journey: Improving information literacy engagement through stude...IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)
The document discusses a project at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) to improve student engagement with information literacy. The project aims to (1) create an informative video about the library produced by students for students, (2) provide students an opportunity to develop professional skills while teaching information literacy to others, and (3) enhance the visibility of the library within the student community. The project is expected to increase information literacy, student attainment and retention, and use of library resources through a collaborative, non-hierarchical approach.Think globally service locally part 1 lit rev of intl students and lib use
The document summarizes recent literature on international students' library use. It finds that while international student populations are increasing at U.S. universities, there are still gaps in language proficiency and cultural understanding of library resources. International students desire targeted library instruction to learn basics of U.S. library use. They tend to use libraries more frequently than domestic students as a study space and for resources like catalogs and printed materials. The document suggests libraries provide outreach to international students and collaborate with student offices. It also recommends keeping up with library practices in other countries and gathering feedback to improve services for international patrons.

Future of Community College Libraries
Community college libraries play an important role in the continuum of lifelong learning by bridging the gap between high school and higher education. They provide affordable access to higher education and help acclimate community members to an intellectual environment. Some challenges they face include a perception that libraries are inefficient and replaceable by the internet, as well as poor marketing of their services. Solutions involve greater integration and collaboration between different types of libraries to share resources and promote their value through effective advocacy.

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.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
