UHF based LMS
by S.Mohan 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Dear All, We are planning to implement RFID based Library Automation in a Bethlahem Engineering College, Nagercovil. I would like to get inputs from those who have already implemented the same. We prefer UHF tags and readers since long read range can be achieved and cheaper than HF tags. Has anyone used UHF based RFID system in Libraries? What's the success rate?

FW: Project Information Literacy Progress Report: Officially Released!
by Indira 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Dear Professionals, Project Information Literacy (PIL) is a National Research Study by the Information School, University of Washington. This project aims at furthering the study of Information Literacy. PIL Progress Report is released, with the title "Finding Context: What Today's College Students Say about Conducting Research in the Digital Age". The Progress Report concludes, "Research seems to be far more difficult to conduct in the digital age than it did in previous times". According to Alison J. Head, Ph.D. and Michael B. Eisenberg (Co-directors), PIL Progress Report shares "some of the perceptions that led to this conclusion and several of the trends in problem-solving strategies that have emerged. The findings and analysis presented here should not be viewed as complete, but rather as part of our ongoing research that will be explored further and tested more rigorously". Though this project is US-based, hope it will serve as a reference resource for Information Literacy initiatives across the Globe.

Hi, We write to tell you that the Project <http://projectinfolit.org/progress/> Information Literacy Progress Report is released and available. Just click the link and read. (The report is also posted on the PIL Web Site). The 18-page report presents findings and analysis (so far) from our 2008 fall student discussion groups, held on seven U.S. campuses with 86 college students. In our data, you may find some things that you already know. But there may be others, we hope that surprise you and spark your own thoughts and new ideas. This spring, our research will continue with a large-scale student survey administered on three U.S. campuses. So, give it a read when you get the chance. Also, help us spread the word by sending on this link to anyone you think may be interested. In the meantime, if you no longer want to receive findings reports about the study or if you have received this email in duplicate, please let us know.
