Library in Hand and The Social Review as Adaptive Representation of Library Development Idea

The development of technology and information brings a number of indispensable consequences, and it requires a wiser adaptation to apply them in the library to avoid the entailed negative impacts. This article discusses the idea of applying information technology of library in hand for library services. It is based on observations of the benchmarking activities in several countries and review on various literatures. Presentation and analysis are conducted descriptively, with the conclusion that the library should be about to adaptively follow the development of IT by considering the contextual social effects. In this context, the application of library in hand includes SMS gateway, Interactive Learning, Independent Learning, Online Reservation, and Online Library Information Retrieval. Meanwhile, the social effects that arise from this application are seen from three dimensions namely the structural, cultural and interactional ones

Promoting Librarian-Faculty Collaboration to Advance Information Literacy: Hanover College's Pilot Program

In 2005, a team from Hanover College (Academic Dean, Library Director, Faculty member) took part in Transformation of the College Library, a workshop offered by The Council of Independent Colleges. The focus of the meeting, advancing Information Literacy, culminated in participating instructions outlining an actionable plan for implementing/improving these important standards on their campus. As a result, the Duggan Library at Hanover College formed a year-long pilot program designed to support faculty wishing to incorporate information literacy concepts into their courses. During the Winter term of 2006, the Library completed a series of classes with topics ranging from research assignment development, to plagiarism and web technology. The remainder of the pilot program includes a session on evaluation followed by a campus-wide forum in January 2007 as Hanover considers the next steps in the Information Literacy initiative

Infographics and independent learning for English learning in the secondary level context

Visual media are still ineffective in covering all learning focus and learning activities to support independent learning. Independent learning guides students to learn the material by themselves, but it is still not supported by the existing visual media. Infographics are a medium that underlies transformative skills in teaching because they can provide a complete learning focus in each material. This study was aimed at developing English teaching media for the 9th grade. A Design and Development research (DnD) proposed by Richey and Klein (2005) was used in this study, including design, development, and evaluation. Initial observations have been carried out at one of the junior high schools in Buleleng, Bali, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out by library research relating to the development of infographics and the nature of independent learning, document analysis by doing syllabus analysis, and expert judgment. The results obtained from the research are infographics are considered to be very good as a medium for teaching English for independent learning. This research implies that teachers' technology-based teaching skills can be assisted by developing this infographic teaching media

AOmpLib: an aspect library for large-scale multi-core parallel programming

This paper introduces an aspect-oriented library aimed to support efficient execution of Java applications on multi-core systems. The library is coded in AspectJ and provides a set of parallel programming abstractions that mimics the OpenMP standard. The library supports the migration of sequential Java codes to multi-core machines with minor changes to the base code, intrinsically supports the sequential semantics of OpenMP and provides improved integration with object-oriented mechanisms. The aspect- oriented nature of library enables the encapsulation of parallelism-related code into well-defined modules. The approach makes the parallelisation and the maintenance of large-scale Java applications more manageable. Furthermore, the library can be used with plain Java annotations and can be easily extended with application- specific mechanisms in order to tune application performance. The library has a competitive performance, in comparison with traditional parallel programming in Java, and enhances programmability, since it allows an independent development of parallelism-related code.This work is funded by ERDF - European Regional Development Fund through the COMPETE Programme (operational programme for competitiveness) and by National Funds through the FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) within projects FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER- 011413 and FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-010152

“Library As Place” Academic Library/Media Center Design

Abstract = Learning Objectives: 1) An overview of the history of the university library as the place around which the campus was planned. 2) The role of technology as an influencing factor in the evolution of the Library to the Media Center. 3) Current and future trends of the Media Center as the focal point for learning at the University, as place that supports not only independent research, but also as places that promote opportunities for one-to-one and small group learning opportunities. Outline: I. Introduction: Over the last 150 years the university library has been evolving as a place where people acquire information. In the case of university of Virginia and Columbia University the library is the focal point of the campus. Symbolically it represents the place where knowledge lives and truth may be uncovered. With the advancement of technology, this place has become more than a place where individuals may acquire knowledge. Technology has transformed this place to serving multiple community functions for the university community, and in many instances the library has become the heart and pulse of the campus, replacing and competing with Student Unions and other community service oriented buildings. II. Overview of the history of the university library. III. An examination of how and why the university has evolved and how technology has encouraged this development of this place for independent learning to the academic and social hub of the university campus. IV. Two Case studies of university libraries / media centers: Suffolk County Community College Learning resource Center, Long Island New York and Ipswich Library, University of Queensland, Australia. Building on the history of the library, examine the patterns that have emerged and what new pattern shave evolved to meet the needs of the media center. V. Conclusion: Provide guidelines for designing next generation Media Centers. Tools to be taken from this session: (1) A research paper that considers how places may be designed to support learning (2) A list of the case studies and contact to further investigate the 21st Century Media Center. The goal of this session is to evaluate how the university library has evolved, through case studies examine the current trends of the Media Center as the heart of the university academic and social life, and provide guidelines for creating the media center as a place that supports the various ways in which people acquire knowledge. The topic will provide a new paradigm that examines case studies in relationship to the research on how people learn to understand how the physical environment, specifically media centers are designed to encourage the diverse ways in which people appropriate knowledge

Taking the Best of Both Worlds: Success and Challenges with the Hybrid Model of Library Instruction

The University of Richmond (UR) is an independent, privately endowed institution, with a total student body of around 5,000 students. Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in the liberal arts, business, law, and leadership studies. Library instruction has been an integral part of the university libraries program since the 1970s, initiated by a five-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities College Library Program and the Council on Library Resources. During the past thirty years, the program has continued to grow and reinvent itself. Overall, the instructional services program can be described as a hybrid library instruction model, emphasizing both course-related instruction throughout the curriculum as well as required Library 100 and Library 101 classes for first-year students. This case study will describe the process of planning and preparing for required classes, including the development of content and handson activities, technology components of instruction, instructor preparation, assessment of classes, administrative duties, future plans, and challenges. It will also describe how the Library 100/101 classes serve as a public relations tool and as a base for course-related instruction at the university

Display of a Maize cDNA library on baculovirus infected insect cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Maize is a good model system for cereal crop genetics and development because of its rich genetic heritage and well-characterized morphology. The sequencing of its genome is well advanced, and new technologies for efficient proteomic analysis are needed. Baculovirus expression systems have been used for the last twenty years to express in insect cells a wide variety of eukaryotic proteins that require complex folding or extensive posttranslational modification. More recently, baculovirus display technologies based on the expression of foreign sequences on the surface of <it>Autographa californica </it>(AcMNPV) have been developed. We investigated the potential of a display methodology for a cDNA library of maize young seedlings.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We constructed a full-length cDNA library of young maize etiolated seedlings in the transfer vector pAcTMVSVG. The library contained a total of 2.5 × 10⁵independent clones. Expression of two known maize proteins, calreticulin and auxin binding protein (ABP1), was shown by western blot analysis of protein extracts from insect cells infected with the cDNA library. Display of the two proteins in infected insect cells was shown by selective biopanning using magnetic cell sorting and demonstrated proof of concept that the baculovirus maize cDNA display library could be used to identify and isolate proteins.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The maize cDNA library constructed in this study relies on the novel technology of baculovirus display and is unique in currently published cDNA libraries.</p> <p>Produced to demonstrate proof of principle, it opens the way for the development of a eukaryotic <it>in vivo </it>display tool which would be ideally suited for rapid screening of the maize proteome for binding partners, such as proteins involved in hormone regulation or defence.</p
