In searching for a book to read on my hour-long train ride back to Brooklyn, I discovered via Educat that one of the titles from my to-read list was available as an ebook in Ebrary, the vendor we purchase the majority of our electronic titles from. Ebrary books make up 71% of our total ebooks …
The library has rolled out a new version of the learning management system (LMS) Blackboard, through which a substantial number of courses at Teachers College, both online and on site, are offered. Blackboard 9.1 (also called Blackboard Learn) replaces the version of the LMS, Blackboard 8, that's been in place for some years. There are …
Digital Humanities 2012, a conference that brings together digital humanists from around the world, is taking place right now at the University of Hamburg in Germany. Held under the auspices of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organization, this annual event offers a multitude of intriguing events covering an impressive range of subjects. This year's line-up …
Earlier this year, we tested--and then purchased--a Scannx BookScan Center, one of the fastest and most user-friendly self-service scanners we've seen. Set up in room 105 (behind the library's 1st floor Services desk), the Scannx takes you through a few steps to choose your output, such as a black and white jpeg, a color PDF, …
Hybrid Pedagogy, a digital journal and forum devoted to the discussion of teaching and technology, will host a Twitter discussion group from 1:00 -2:00 EST on Friday, June 22, 2012. On the agenda is a debate about the role of technology, and Learning Management Systems in particular, in pedagogy. Sean Michael Morris writes: In the …
For all digital humanists and performing arts enthusiasts out there, and especially for those who might name themselves by both of these worthy titles, there is a Digital Humanities and Performing Arts Meetup just for you taking place this coming Thursday, June 14, 2012. It features presentations of two very intriguing projects: Linked Jazz and …
I entered the 21st century this week when my parents gave me an iPad as a present for graduating with a masters degree in elementary inclusive education. At first I thought, "Cool! Now I can play Draw with Friends!" But then I started to think about the practical applications of owning an ipad on my …
Recently I was on a job interview for an elementary teaching position and one question posed to me was, "Why do you want to teach?" I loved that question, because I know why: teaching is a learning profession. One thing I learned a lot about while student teaching this past year was about the growing …
A recently published article in on Mind/Shift clearly articulates the e-book lending war between libraries and publishers--namely, that publishers feel threatened by the ease with which patrons can check out e-books, and are trying to encumber public libraries with book lending restrictions, making it expensive, more difficult, or in some cases simply impossible to lend …
CUIT Printing Services (a.k.a., Ninja) is now available at the Gottesman Libraries! Finally, your friendly librarians will no longer have to point to the building behind them and say "Go there for your free printouts!" You can get your 20 free pages (or 100 if you bought the extra package) on the first floor of …
I am currently taking a course entitled "The Psychology of E-learning: Business/Industry". Excellent course if you're going into education, training and development, organizational development, IT, program design, etc. We are reading a few books I find very useful with regard to useability, design, intrinsic motivation, and conceptualization. First, some basics -- what is e-learning? Well, …
A friend sent me the link to watch this YouTube video made by RSA Animate, who has, in this case, set Slavoj Zizek's "First as Tragedy, Then as Farce" lecture to animation. I post this here not to compel our readers to question harmful (merely arguably!) capitalist tactics for selling "save the planet," but because …
Is the internet speeding things up? The general consensus on this question is yes, yes it is. That's also likely your answer, whether you groan about kids and their newfangled technologies, line up for the next new thing to be released at the local Best Buy, or just grind away at a computer for school …
Unless you've been intentionally living in deep seclusion over these past months, you have heard of this thing called Occupy Wall Street. (If you have not heard of this, please let me know how you have been able to accomplish this level of seclusion. I've got finals coming up...) So assuming you have heard of …
Of late I have encountered quit a few articles, monographs, or lectures where design scholars have discussed notions of “possibility” in relation to critical analyses on design, which often focus on design as both a social construct and political category for organizing social action. In the process I have become fascinated by the frequent conceptual …
I was reading “the news” on Facebook from “friends” of mine whose thoughts I “subscribe to” when I encountered an article about a woman who was fired from her job because a photo of her holding a protest sign on Occupy Wall Street got leaked on the internet. We’ve all heard stories, some threatening, some …
For years I’ve proudly declared myself a print enthusiast, the kind of person who cringes when hearing the phrase “print is dead,” and yet I have a perhaps morbid (ahem) fascination with the e-book reader debate. In particular, I find it curious how many New York Times writers publish nervous pieces about their worry over …
I recently decided on bestsellers The Help and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for my last pleasure reading hurrah before school starts for me on August 29th. I don't like to buy books anymore, considering the teetering towers of treasured hardbacks that sit on the floor of my tiny Brooklyn apartment, my bookshelves offering no …

The multidisciplinary issues involved in …
The days of having to remove floppy drive shields stuck in the chamber seem to have passed by. However, the CD or DVD drive is still widely used, and occasionally a disc will get stuck in it. What can you do if the drive won't pop out? There is an old "trick" (can it really …
