Academic Library 2.0 Keynote Speaker: Meredith Farkas, Distance Learning Librarian Norwich University, Northfield
A Conference sponsored by the Librarians Association of the University of California, Berkeley Division
Once a symbolic bastion of traditional accumulations of specialized knowledge, today's academic library operates in an information landscape grown increasingly variegated and difficult to traverse.
Paradoxically, at the same time, data, information, knowledge, cultural production, and scholarship are far more accessible, appropriable, and manipulable than ever before. New media attract widespread attention, more pliable technologies emerge with increasing frequency, and--most importantly--young generations of students and faculty with aptitudes, skills, and expectations borne of a world massively defined by the Internet and its progeny are populating the halls of academe.
The convergence of the once distinct technological and social meanings of the term "network" is evident in the rise of communities of remote collaborations among friends, acquaintances, students, and researchers. These developments compel academic libraries to consider how best to apply new technologies to suit users' demands and to satisfy their institutional and educational missions.
The Academic Library 2.0 conference will address the phenomenon of academic libraries taking affirmative steps to deploy technologies and services that facilitate users' virtually instant connection to diverse sources of knowledge and information, as well as to help users directly contribute form and substance to those sources. タグ:ucberkeleyucberkeleycalwebcasteducation 投稿日: November 20, 2007, 7:54 am 閲覧数: 9019 投票: 5.00(５点満点) 10 人の平均
academic cluster computing initiative

In October 2007, Google announced that it was partnering with IBM to provide largescale cluster computing resources to undergraduate computer science students along with a creative commons licensed curriculum. Using the cluster and curriculum as a starting point, students have been able to develop some compelling projects. タグ:ibmgoogleclustercomputinginitiative 投稿日: February 26, 2008, 5:13 am 閲覧数: 18627 投票: 4.50(５点満点) 42 人の平均

Prof Weasel struggles to understand the problems with the traditional journal publication system (he'd be better off going open access but he'd never understand it). All while the fat Mr G.Ratt publishers makes the big cheese... タグ:openaccesscopyrightauthorslibrarian 投稿日: October 27, 2007, 7:14 am 閲覧数: 3608 投票: 4.60(５点満点) 8 人の平均

Working in an airport gift shop, standing in line for free cheese, sharing a bowl of soup for dinner... these are the all-too-typical coping strategies adopted by the working poor among the contingent faculty who are now the overwhelming majority of the professoriate. In part 2 of our interview, Cary Nelson discusses the abjection of the professoriate and the role of the AAUP in pushing back against the callous, systematic exploitation of students and faculty by university management. タグ:collegesuniversitiesprofessorsstudentsadjunctsfaculty 投稿日: February 24, 2008, 7:14 am 閲覧数: 3060 投票: 5.00(５点満点) 9 人の平均
