An institutional repository is defined as an online archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution. It aims to provide open access, long-term preservation, and promotion of scholarship. Early repositories focused on specific subjects like science, but now institutions house a variety of material like faculty research, student work, data sets, and more to increase visibility and collaboration both on and off campus. While concerns exist around costs and policies, repositories provide benefits like increased citations and sharing of knowledge if properly supported and promoted to the academic community.
VoIP allows users to make phone calls over the internet by sending voice data packets. It can be used publicly for video calls on computers or voice chat while gaming online. Privately, businesses can use VoIP for international video meetings. Corporately, VoIP services make money through subscription fees for features on platforms like Xbox Live and Skype.

Augmented Reality - Possibilities for Libraries (presentation notes)Tor Loney
This document discusses the possibilities of using augmented reality (AR) in libraries. It begins with definitions of AR as combining real and virtual elements in real-time, as coined by researchers in the 1990s. The history of AR from early prototypes in the 1960s-1990s is overviewed. Current AR applications like Wikitude, Layar, and Junaio are described. Suggested uses for libraries include using AR markers on books to provide additional multimedia content, connecting physical items to online databases, and implementing an interactive literary tour. Specific library AR projects are also mentioned.

Augmented Reality - Possibilities for LibrariesTor Loney
Augmented reality (AR) allows users to see the real world with virtual objects overlaid. AR in libraries could include placing AR markers on books and shelves that connect to catalog records and additional information. An example app called SmartLibrary uses map-based AR guidance to show a user's location relative to library items. Suggestions for libraries include using AR for book tours, providing contextual information and notices to users when they view materials on shelves, and reserving items through AR. AR tools like ARToolkit can help developers create a wide range of AR applications for libraries.
Institutional repositories are digital collections that capture and preserve the intellectual output of universities and scholars. They provide open access to scholarly works and research. Key benefits of repositories include increased exposure and citation of works, easier collaboration, and supporting the institution's mission. While awareness and use of repositories has grown, obstacles still include lack of promotion and author concerns about tenure requirements. Ongoing outreach addressing costs and benefits can help engage the campus community in contributing to and using the institutional repository.
The document discusses scriptwriting and the commissioning process. It explains that it is very difficult for unknown scriptwriters to get their work published or accepted by production companies. The BBC Writersroom aims to help new and young scriptwriters by assessing their scripts, providing feedback to improve their writing, and potentially helping get their scripts commissioned. The Writersroom only accepts certain types of scripts over 30 pages and follows a multi-step process of sorting and reading submissions.
1. IPTV delivers television content over the internet rather than through traditional cable or broadcast means. It allows viewing on computers, televisions through set-top boxes, and mobile devices.
2. Key advantages of IPTV include interactive programming, content on-demand, multi-screen viewing, and potentially lower costs compared to cable.
3. IPTV uses internet protocols to compress and deliver video and audio content. Live television uses multicast transmission while video on-demand uses unicast.
