This document provides tips and resources for effective online research. It discusses that while students have grown up with Google, they may not know how to conduct effective searches. Many students over-rely on Google and do not fully utilize scholarly databases. The document also notes that while Wikipedia can be a starting point, its information should not be cited directly. Instead, students should critically evaluate sources and citations on Wikipedia. The document concludes by recommending several government archives and libraries that are rich resources for research, including the National Archives, Library of Congress, and Smithsonian Institution digital collections.
The document provides tips for newspapers and media organizations to transform their operations and embrace new media. It discusses moving from static individually created pages to a 24/7 news cycle with multimedia content and interactivity. It recommends having a game plan, understanding the medium by interacting online, and using a content management system to more easily create and maintain dynamic content.

Demetri Kyriakis presented on how libraries can adapt and stay relevant through innovation and technology. He discussed tools like Camtasia Studio for creating tutorials, wikis for collaboration, podcasting, and tablet PCs. As librarians and instructors, they must try new ideas through trial and error to serve community needs. Technology only has purpose if it serves a goal, and libraries must provide what patrons want however they want it.

Think globally service locally part 1 lit rev of intl students and lib useVirginia Pannabecker
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.

However, Sutton emphasizes libraries must still focus on serving their readers by providing learning spaces and resources to support their changing needs.
Making scholarly publications accessible onlineJonathan Bowen
Developing and monitoring communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs. It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and Academia.edu, now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation
details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. In mathematical circles, the concept of the Erdős number has been introduced in honour of the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, measuring the collaborative distance" of a person away from Erdős through links by co-author. Similar metrics have been proposed in other fields. The possibility of exploring and
improving the presentation of such links online in the sciences and other fields will be presented as a means of improving the outreach and impact of publications by academics across
different disciplines. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online are given.

Fullerton College RSI Workshop Summer 2018Fred Feldon
This presentation discusses the importance of regular and substantive interaction (RSI) in online courses, as required by the Department of Education. It defines RSI as instructor-initiated interaction that is weekly, academic rather than administrative, and includes activities like discussion boards and video conferences that require student-teacher and student-student engagement. The presentation provides resources for developing good questions to encourage discussion and meets RSI guidelines, as federal funding depends on online courses meeting these standards.
Active Learning: Success, Retention and Engagement Onsite and OnlineFred Feldon
The lecture environment and online homework systems fail to capture the reasoning and higher-level thinking skills students can bring to quantitative problems. Regular and substantive interaction, collaboration, productive struggle, and non-routine questions that stimulate discussion lead to deeper understanding of concepts, applicability, and support of students' affective needs.

Students want help; they feel they can't learn themselves or they don't want to. Teachers want to help. But helping too much removes the cognitive demand.
This document provides information about the Student Research League (SRL) competition. The SRL is a mathematical research competition for two-year college students held each spring. Students have nine days to research and solve a challenge problem with a faculty mentor. Problems relate to real-world issues and require mathematical modeling. Components of the competition include the challenge problem, career research, a mathematical model or thesis, and a thesis defense. Prizes include a $1,500 grand prize. The goal is to encourage mathematical problem solving and provide an outlet for two-year college students to compete in research contests.

The presentation provides an overview of issues relevant to online education and strategies for engaging students in online courses.
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.
