Flaw of averages
The document discusses "The Flaw of Averages", which is the fallacy that plans based on average conditions will occur. It gives examples of how this flaw impacts investment management and production planning. It explains that simulation techniques can overcome this by considering a range of inputs rather than single averages. The author discusses how assuming average returns could cause a retirement fund to run out of money. It also describes how forecasting average demand for a new product could lead to an incorrect forecast of average profit if production capacity is based on the average. The document advocates for abandoning averages and using simulation and other tools to account for uncertainty.

SEO: Getting Personal
The document discusses how personalization and dynamic content are becoming increasingly important on websites. It notes that 52% of marketers see content personalization as critical and 75% of consumers like it when brands personalize their content. However, personalization can create issues for search engine optimization as dynamic URLs and content are more difficult for search engines to index than static pages. The document provides tips for SEOs to help address these personalization and SEO challenges, such as using static URLs when possible and submitting accurate sitemaps.
The History of SEO
SEO has changed a lot over the last two decades. We all know about Google Panda & Penguin, but did you know there was a time when search engine results were returned by humans? Crazy right? We take a trip down memory lane to chart some of the biggest events in SEO that have helped shape the industry today.

A Proxy for Success
Nevada State College analyzed EZProxy logs to connect student use of electronic resources to academic success. They found moderate correlations between library use and one-term retention, academic standing, semester GPA, and grades on a research assignment.

Limitations include not determining the cause of relationships and using an imperfect measure of library use.
Nitle 2013 presentation
This document summarizes the findings of the ERIAL project, an ethnographic study of how students find and use information at academic libraries. The project used interviews and diaries with over 700 students and faculty. It found that students approach research like Google searches, relying on simple keyword searches and iterative searching rather than refining searches. Students also tend to cursorily evaluate sources based on accessibility rather than accuracy. The search tools available to students influence which sources they utilize. The study suggests libraries need to better understand student information behaviors and design tools and instruction with their practices in mind.

The document discusses the author giving out their cell phone number to students to better support them throughout the research process.
It begins by showing statistics on increasing interactions between librarians and patrons over recent years. It then contrasts the traditional model of waiting for help at the reference desk with a new model of more proactive and ongoing support.
The author argues that by making themselves available to students outside of in-person meetings, they can help shape better research habits and intervene earlier when students have questions or run into obstacles. The goal is to move students toward an ideal iterative research process rather than leaving them to panic at the last minute.
