Solving Shared Drives: 10 Tips for Cleaning Up, Organizing, and Migrating Con...Barclay T. Blair
The sexy Information Governance problems today are (in rough order of sex appeal):
Social Media
Big Data
Cloud Computing
Somewhere waaaay down at the bottom of this list comes, “Governing shared network drives.”
However, in real life – outside of the hype cycle – solving the shared drive problem is right near the top of the list for most organizations. The massive growth of SharePoint has been driven in large part by enterprises (or at least, departments within enterprises) looking for an incremental and easy replacement for shared drives.
However, most project teams tend to underestimate just how “incremental” the shift from shared drives to SharePoint or ECM is. In fact, in my experience, the problem is vexing enough that many project teams effectively throw up their hands and end up moving the big pile of unstructured manure from one unmanaged, fragrant corral to another (albeit a less fragrant, more attractive corral).
In this presentation we outline the Shared Drive problem, and provide tern practical tips for addressing it.
Moving Oracle Applications to the Cloud - Which Cloud is Right for Me?Datavail
We have all heard about the cloud and we are told we should be moving there. Are you aware there are different types of cloud? Moving an application to the cloud can be a lot of work, disrupt your business and cost a lot of money. Moving to Infrastructure as a Service however, allows you to keep your customizations, keep the look and feel your users are accustomed to, but also be able to leverage a highly scalable, robust environment.
Moving to SaaS means you can leverage the latest technologies and best practices, and focus on your business. If you chose IaaS or SaaS, testing is a common strategic differentiator. Which Cloud is right for you? OCI, AWS, Azure. Let’s look at how the right cloud can move your company forward. This applies to Oracle: JDE, Peoplesoft, Hyperion, OBIEE, and EBS.

It outlines different approaches to de-identifying data like removing identifying information according to FERPA or using k-anonymity to ensure at least k records share the same values for identifying fields. The author notes early attempts at de-identification through suppression or generalization introduced statistical biases. A new approach is proposed that adjusts value bins to minimize deviation from the mean and adds "chaff" or fake records, which shows promising preliminary results in allowing data sharing while preserving privacy.
The document summarizes the IT Academy's Year 1 program and outlines plans to develop Level II courses. Over 1300 IT professionals completed Level I courses, with 40 becoming certified facilitators. Eight Level I badge requirements were also rolled out. Level II is designed for those who have completed Level I and will involve additional courses, webinars, and activities to deepen skills and allow professionals to integrate concepts into their work and lead discussions. Specific Level II tracks outlined include Service Mindset, Project Management, Agile, ITIL, and Information Security. The document concludes with an announcement of an upcoming demonstration of the Harvard Training Portal.
A prototype is worth 1,000 meetings. The document discusses tips for collaborating on mobile-first prototyping including that interactive prototypes allow for quick initial development, align teams, and allow clients to test designs before development is complete. Key learnings are that prototypes streamline development processes, help clients visualize mobile designs, and designing directly in the browser saves time over adding elements for larger devices. Resources for prototyping and testing tools as well as contacts are provided.
The document discusses the challenges of archiving and preserving social media for historical and cultural purposes. It notes that social media is not just technological information but also captures important social and cultural contexts. Archiving social media poses difficulties due to its ephemeral nature, user-generated hashtags instead of keywords, and platforms' changing features and business models. The document examines how social media is used to construct personal identities and social formations, and how platforms can both liberate self-expression but also enforce certain norms. It emphasizes the importance of capturing the full context of social media for future researchers.
This document summarizes the work of the User Research Center at Harvard Library. It provides an overview of who they are, how they work, and what they have accomplished. The center conducts user research such as paper prototyping, usability testing, and test fests to evaluate designs and gather feedback from users. They work with campus partners to improve user experience and accessibility. Quotes from participants highlight how the research has helped improve products and services. The center is located in Lamont Library and welcomes consultations.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
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.

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

14. New DRS Data Model
• Not a simple metadata conversion
• A new DRS object is a logical intellectual
entity that unifies multiple DRS files
– Still image objects - archival and production
masters, and deliverables including thumbnails
– Audio objects - archival and production
masters and deliverables
– PDS objects - page image and text files
15. Object Descriptors
• METS files generated for each object
– Standards-based internal schemas (PREMIS,
MODS, MIX, etc.)
• Metadata gathered from multiple sources
– Current DRS database
– Every content file
– HOLLIS records
16. Technical Challenges
• Many formats
– Images, audio, text, digitized books, web
sites, documents, biomedical image stacks,
opaque files
• Unique migration rules per format
– technical metadata, roles, relationships
• Large (>5000 file) PDS documents
• 45+ million DRS files
17. Technical Challenges
• At 1 sec/file, 45 million files would take
520 days!
• We are designing the migration
software tools for parallel processing
• We are configuring multiple servers to
run the migration
20. Formulating a Migration Strategy
• Analysis of:
– DRS content
• Technical (relationships, etc. for building objects)
• Volume and type by repository
–metadata for mapping
–user activity in the DRS
–survey of highest volume, active users
–training and testing registration lists
21. Migration Strategy Factors
• Combines needs of users with technical
requirements
• User sequencing will be based on:
– Current deposit & administrative activity
– Level of preparation (training and participation
in beta testing)

Tiers 1, 3, 4, 5: Migrate across all DRS owner codes at one time
Tier 2: Migrate one DRS owner code at a time
29. Tier 2: Sequence by DRS Owner Code
• Migrate just your unit’s PDS document and
still image content
• Minimize the amount of time the content
you manage the most is in 2 different
systems
31. Timing
• Current estimates:
–Building & testing migration tools: Now
–Begin Tier 1 content: Spring 2014
–Begin Tier 2 content: Summer 2014
• Units will be contacted about their Tier
2 migration schedule
32. After Your Tier 2 Migration
• You, and anyone depositing on your
behalf, will begin depositing only to the
new DRS
• All of your management tasks will be
done only in the new DRS
34. Minimizing Disruption
• Testing by Imaging Services
• Uninterrupted services
• Migration sequencing
• Participating as a “pioneer”
35. Testing by Imaging Services
Alpha and beta testing:
• Depositing processes
• DRS content maintenance tools
–Searching and assembling content for
download
–Editing PDS objects
36. Uninterrupted Services
Providing services before and after your
migration
• Content needs to be deposited
• Content needs to be searched
• Content needs to be assembled
• may need to be edited
• may need to be downloaded
37. Migration Sequencing
• We will synchronize deposits with your
migration
–start depositing for you in the new DRS
after your Tier 2 content is migrated
38. Imaging Services as Pioneers
As pioneers, we:
• Learn to use the new tools
• Refine the new depositing workflows
• Identify bugs
• Suggest improvements
• Create a group of local experts that can support
those that follow
We’ll wear the scars so that you can stay pretty!
