The opportunity to engage actively with British content that is educational, entertaining and deeply enlightening is here. Technology exists to drive forward a vision of intelligent environments that supply the right information to the right person at the right time. Paradoxically, what is missing is the depth of digitised content to make such technical developments more significant than mere playthings.
To achieve a Digital Britain that is educated and ready to exploit these new technologies, the treasure house of British content has to be digitised much more comprehensively.
For the intelligent Digital Britain we need beautiful information, authentic data, validated content and a critical mass that will drive economic impact, research innovation and social benefits.

What the Internet is doing to our brains

Illustration by Guy Billout
ave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave?” So the supercomputer HAL pleads with the
implacable astronaut Dave Bowman in a famous and weirdly poignant scene toward the end of Stanley
Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Bowman, having nearly been sent to a deep-space death by the
malfunctioning machine, is calmly, coldly disconnecting the memory circuits that control its artificial “
brain. “Dave, my mind is going,” HAL says, forlornly. “I can feel it. I can feel it.”
I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering
with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s
changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book
or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend
hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift
after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging
my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.

I think I know what’s going on. For more than a decade now, I’ve been spending a lot of time online, searching and surfing
and sometimes adding to the great databases of the Internet. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that
once required days in the stacks or periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes. A few Google searches, some
quick clicks on hyperlinks, and I’ve got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after. Even when I’m not working, I’m as likely as
not to be foraging in the Web’s info-thickets’reading and writing e-mails, scanning headlines and blog posts, watching videos
and listening to podcasts, or just tripping from link to link to link. (Unlike footnotes, to which they’re sometimes likened,
hyperlinks don’t merely point to related works; they propel you toward them.)
For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through
my eyes and ears and into my mind. The advantages of having immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of
information are many, and they’ve been widely described and duly applauded. “The perfect recall of silicon memory,”
Wired’s Clive Thompson has written, “can be an enormous boon to thinking.” But that bo ...

It emphasizes the importance of properly citing sources to avoid plagiarism. The key recommendations are to take detailed notes on sources as you research rather than copying text verbatim, to paraphrase ideas in your own words, and to include in-text citations and a reference list for all sourced material. Leaving enough time to complete assignments and learning proper citation styles can also help avoid accidental plagiarism.
LCSH and Undergraduates
The document discusses how undergraduates are often unfamiliar with using Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) to search for information in university libraries. It notes that many undergraduates are overwhelmed by the large university library environment and prefer simple keyword searches over using complex LCSH terms and syntax. While LCSH is useful for precise searching, it can be difficult for novices to understand. The document considers ways to better teach undergraduates how to effectively use subject headings through library instruction sessions.
I too can write a research paper 1.0
This document provides guidance on writing a successful research paper. It emphasizes selecting a narrow topic to allow an in-depth analysis in response to a specific research question. Students should use their own words to interpret and analyze sources rather than directly quoting or paraphrasing large portions. Plagiarism occurs if a student presents others' words or ideas as their own without proper citation. The goal is for students to advance knowledge on their topic through original analysis and argumentation grounded in research, rather than just reporting information gathered.
Haas and Flower Slideshow for Composition II
This document summarizes key concepts from an academic article by Haas and Flower about reading as a constructive process. The summary includes:
1) Haas and Flower studied how readers of varying experience levels construct meaning as they read aloud. They categorized reader strategies as content-focused, feature/function-focused, or rhetorical-focused.
2) Inexperienced readers (students) focused more on content and features, while experienced readers (graduates) used more rhetorical strategies to understand context and purpose.
3) The study suggests readers can improve by actively applying rhetorical strategies like analyzing audience and purpose, in addition to content strategies. This helps readers mature and better comprehend academic texts.

This session reports on a focus group methodology built on Dervin’s Sense Making communication methodology. Unlike many focus group and other qualitative research methods, this approach delivers in depth, reliable data quickly. Originally piloted by Dr. Dervin at Ohio State, it has been used at the University of Toronto to study information seeking amongst leaders of student journals. Informal campus leaders, including students, are seldom studied by libraries. Yet they are often deeply engaged in the institution and influence the actions and perceptions of others. The session will outline the methodology and highlight a few key results.Similar to Using digitised text collections in research and learning (20)

Using digitised text collections in research and learning
- 1. Using digitised text collections in research and learning Emma Huber, UKOLN 24 th September 2009
- 5. More texts can be accessed more quickly from more places “ You could add another twelve months on to a PhD if you did not have EEBO to undertake research like that into print culture, because you would [..] see research students flying around the country [..] trying to find these things in repositories in country houses belonging to aristocratic families, whereas they are now all online” “I mean EEBO speeds it up a bit, and therefore enables me to look at more material and […] to look at things which are just possibilities rather more easily, and as I say it enables me to recheck things I've already looked at more easily, which I might not bother to do if the book were only available in hard copy”
