This document provides criteria for evaluating websites as information sources. It discusses evaluating the source of the website based on the domain (.edu, .gov, .org, etc.) and looking at the authority, contact information, intended audience, currency, authorship, objectivity, coverage, and appropriateness/relevance of the site. Organizational websites may present advocacy and biased perspectives, so their objectivity must be carefully evaluated. Government sites provide more factual information while organizational sites sometimes question existing information or present alternative viewpoints. The document cautions that even if you agree with a cause, independent verification of claims is important.

The importance of technology in education
Educational technology can improve skills in core subjects like math, reading, and writing while making learning more engaging. It prepares students for a technology-focused future by allowing teachers to deliver content through digital means like online lessons and classroom research. While technology in the classroom can boost learning outcomes and job skills, its success depends on properly training teachers, setting clear goals, and providing technical support, as inconsistency and distractions may otherwise arise.

Searching the library catalog
A library catalog is a database that contains records of all materials owned by a library. It allows users to search for books, ebooks, audiobooks, videos, and other materials. Catalogs are searchable by author, title, subject, and keywords. Subject searches use controlled vocabularies to retrieve related resources. Call numbers organize physical materials by subject on the shelves according to classification systems like Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress.
Introduction to catalog and databases
This document provides instructions for accessing the Rio Hondo College (RHC) library catalog and databases through two different methods: 1) directly through the RHC Library Database page or 2) through the RHC AccessRio portal. It describes how to search the library catalog for books and ebooks, and how to select different subject-specific databases and log in using Canvas credentials directly from the Library Database page.

Login instructions are provided for both the Library Database page and AccessRio portal.
Information need and thesis
This document discusses information needs, research questions, and the difference between the two. It defines an information need as a question that needs to be answered, which can be personal or professional. A research question seeks to discover new information on a topic and is meant to be open-ended rather than taking a position. The document provides examples of factual questions that can be looked up versus research questions that require more in-depth analysis. It also notes that research studies will contain research questions to tell the reader what is being investigated, while most writing will contain a thesis statement that previews or takes a position on the topic.
Alternate access to databases (3)
The document provides instructions for accessing databases through the library website at RHC. It includes the URL for the library databases page and explains that users can select from databases organized alphabetically or by subject after logging in with their Canvas credentials. Choosing a database like Ebscohost ebooks takes the user to the login screen for that resource.
Typesof information
There are many types of information sources that can be used for research, including background sources, books, newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, and reference sources. Background sources provide a quick overview on a topic to help focus the research question, while books allow for greater depth and narrower scope on a topic. Information can be in print or digital formats. Primary sources are first-hand accounts, while secondary sources are second-hand reports on events. Scholarly sources are peer-reviewed for specialists, while popular sources are intended for a general audience.

1. Students are asked to create a PowerPoint presentation with 5 slides summarizing their research topic, including a title slide, thesis statement, concept map with at least 30 keywords, two developed search statements tested in a database with results reported, and justification for a chosen database.
2. Students should include 1-2 slides evaluating their research strategy using charts provided and evaluating their thesis statement.
3. Students are asked to provide two peer review comments of at least 75 words each answering two questions about two other students' presentations. The questions relate to evaluating search strategies and providing suggestions.
Brainstormingconceptmaps
Brainstorming is an open-ended approach to exploring a topic by generating many ideas and building off each other's thoughts. Concept mapping takes brainstorming further by visually organizing the relationships between key concepts, with the central topic or theme in the center and related sub-topics branching out. There are different types of concept maps like spider maps that radiate from the center and hierarchical maps that arrange information in descending order of importance. Both brainstorming and concept mapping can help reflect on a topic and identify what is known and unknown.

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

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.
