Hinweis der Redaktion
- WELCOME! Wait for latecomers INTRODUCTION & INSTRUCTIONS – Will be on MuteJen Albers will be moderating the chat room. We have much to cover in the next hour. Any questions be directed to Jen in chat.
- REVIEW AGENDA – A lot to get to…
- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math/Medicine continues to grow in both interest and interdisciplinary appeal. There is an increased call for women in STEM fields and this topic has been a major focus of the White House and particularly Michelle Obama.
- In addition, the STEM business community is now committed toward efforts of supporting STEM education to insure that college graduates are not just prepared for careers in these fields, but also have the skills to become future leaders within their communities and globally.
- As STEM occupation projections approach growth rates of 17% by 2018 according to the US Department of Commerce, the demand for libraries and STEM related departments to provide access to content in these fields will also grow. In support of this effort, Gale is now pleased to offer more than 3000 STEM related titles on our award winning eBook platform from Springer and Elsevier. This includes almost 30 new eBook collections, primarily monographs, which expands on our large humanities base of content.
- Whether you are a Breaking Bad fan, or just a chemistry major, this collection offers titles from a variety of publishers including Gale and Wiley. Conference proceedings on the International Conference on Applied Biotechnology, as well as Experimental Chemistry can be found. There are also a number of guides, handbooks, technique manuals, and case studies essential for any chemistry collection.
- Chemistry by its nature as the so-called central science crosses biology, biomedicine, environmental science, and many others. Perhaps one of the most interdisciplinary collections we will discuss today.
- Easy One
- For anyone studying anything having to do with Planet Earth it is in this collection. You will find both the reductionist and holistic study of Earth Science within the 151 titles. Climate change in Bangladesh, Coral Reef Structure, Glaciers of the Karakoram Himalaya, and Fossil Mammals from China are just some of the interesting titles included.
- For those that have experienced the extreme cold, snow, and harsh winter that I have faced in Delaware this year, the weather continues to be of popular and research interest to those in the earth sciences. Whether you have students studying to be meteorologists, or entering Green fields, this is an essential collection.
- While a separate collection, this compliments our enviormental studies and earth science collections very nicely. Fire safety studies, strategic planning around energy, as well as international symposium proceeds on Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning can be found in our Energy Collection.
- Great crossover appeal with Physics, environmental studies, and mechanical engineering. Also of great interest to campus sustainbility groups.
- 5th year of our program which in partnership with these libraries and undergraduate programs provides cash rewards and publishing opportunities for excellence in undergrad research.
- For the sake of time we have combined these topics. Our most widely represented collection we will discuss today in terms of publishers. This collection includes several award winning titles.
- Definite cross over into the social sciences like law and public policy, as well as public health and business.
- For you foodies out there this is the collection for you. Whether you are an avid watcher of Food TV, or an accomplished chef…this collection including protein science offers 60 titles from Springer & Elsevier. Handbooks, guidebooks, and some courses in food preparation can be found.
- Many applications in the sciences and for those institutions that have food science programs, a must.
- One of our largest collections in the science & tech group, this corpus covers life sciences very comprehensively. Animal communication, reproductive technologies, animal-human interaction, and habitat are examples of other topics covered.
- For zoology, pharmacology, or marine biology programs, this is an essential collection.
- Our largest collection in the sciences that we will cover today and rightly so. Mathematics is such a jumping off discipline to the sciences and technology that you will be hard pressed to find this collection not applicable within your library. Practically every math concept is covered here, as well as taking a view of math in society, within financial models, and even within fantasy. There is even an Actuaries survival guide.
- One of our most exciting and interesting collections. How many of you have had credit card accounts hacked through Target’s security breach, or perhaps experienced identity theft? For those students looking to enter what is becoming a huge market, and great career opportunities for the best and brightest computer hackers…this collection is essential reading.
- Those interested in pursuing law, gaming careers, or even within law enforcement as perhaps an electronic forensics specialist will find relevant content here. Edward Snowden and others have continued to bring to light this always important topic.
- We have reached our largest collection of all…complimenting the Cyber Security collection as well as robotics which we will cover next. 6 publishers are represented here over 370 titles. All of the beginning programming languages are covered, as well as 3D technology, data mining, mobile platforms like ios and Andriod, and for all of you library technologists…ip proxy topics.
- Even those colleges that don’t offer a computer science degree, you will still find relevant information given the saturation of technology and computers that will interest your students.
- Our final eBook collection today is Robotics, Systems, and design. The content included here: Chinese Intelligent Automation proceedings, Man-Machine-Environment System Engineering proceedings, as well as proceedings from the international symposium on linear drives and the first Iberian Robotics conference.
- While you will not find a copy of 2001 A Space Odyssey, this collection supports the needs of any core robotics or system design program.
- GVRL is the only library product in the history of the Charleston Advisor to get five stars — the highest rating. The only other two services to get five stars ever were Jing and the Mayo Clinic.
- GVRL was one of the first eBook platforms on the market, and we continue to enhance our platform…You have the ability to customize your eBook collections, acquiring on a title by title basis, or as an ecollection.
- Gale’s eBook partners list is one of the largest if not the largest in the world…jump into product
- We are the only publisher to have converted all of this content to HTML. Everyone else serves only PDFs. What does this mean? Our content can be translated into other languages, the text can be read out loud and shared via social media, and the text can be easily integrated into LibGuides and curriculum.
- We are the only platform without DRM restrictions, meaning that they have full, unlimited usage and unlimited downloads to our content. Also, this means that they can use GVRL in the classroom as part of their readings and instruction.
- We are the only platform that allows them to have their reference and monograph collections in the same place — meaning that students can get the background on a topic at the same time they dive into deeper research.
- I wanted to mention – we have highlighted most but not all of the Science and Technology Ebook collections, the others including Physics, Life Sciences, and Astrophysics can be found on our website.
