This document provides an overview of resources for students to use when conducting research for an annotated bibliography. It discusses using primary and secondary sources, databases for finding scholarly articles, the difference between general and subject specific databases, interlibrary loans, and RefWorks citation management software. The librarian emphasizes exploring different search techniques and using library resources to develop an effective research strategy.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

12. What should I do first?
• Finding the right search term
• Start big and then use patterns you
see in the results list to narrow your
topic
• Most resources will have built into
their system a “thesaurus” or
“subject” or suggested topics links,
use them
• Ask a librarian or your professor for
suggestions
13. Field Research
Field research can be considered either as a
broad approach to qualitative research or a
method of gathering qualitative data. The
essential idea is that the researcher goes “into
the field” to observe the phenomenon in it’s
natural state or in situ. As such, it is probably
most related to the method of participant
observation. The field researcher typically takes
extensive field notes which are subsequently
coded and analyzed in a variety of ways
(Trochimn, B 1999)
14. Field Research
What is qualitative research?
Qualitative research is a method of inquiry employed in
many different academic disciplines, traditionally in the
social sciences, but also in market research and further
contexts.[1] Qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-
depth understanding of human behavior and the
reasons that govern such behavior. The qualitative
method investigates the why and how of decision
making, not just what, where, when. Hence, smaller but
focused samples are more often needed, rather than
large samples.

•Looks in several locations (usually
subject, article title, abstracts or
contents)
•Does not require an exact match
•Generates comparatively large
number of hits (not precise)

terminology
•Look for the same or similar words
which keep appearing
24. FIND A
BOOK∞POLAR
Click on the “Find Similar Items” link

between your term and a pre-set
list of terms
•Precise
•Can be used after keyword search
has identified specific subjects

26. Primary vs. Secondary Sources
What is a primary source?
The definition of a primary source varies
depending upon the academic discipline and
the context in which it is used.
In the humanities, a primary source could be
defined as something that was created either
during the time period being studied or
afterward by individuals reflecting on their
involvement in the events of that time.
Using Primary Sources on the Web
27. What do I do next?
Google and Wikipedia aren’t intrinsically
evil, just use them for the correct purpose
in your research.
