In the few months that she has been at Carnegie Mellon University, our new Data Services Librarian, Lisa Zilinski has collaborated with the Engineering Librarians in outreach to researchers in our College of Engineering. Lisa has helped to answer a number of questions about data management needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether you have <span style="font-size: x-small;">small</span> or <span style="font-size: x-large;">large</span> data sets, would like assistance with a required plan, or want ideas on how the University Libraries can help, please contact us: </div>

<br />
Dear CIT Faculty, Grad students, Researchers:<br />
<br />
"Barcode" yourself so that your scholarly output is made easier to find.<br />
<br />
This Fall semester 2014, the University Libraries are leading an initiative to encourage every College of Engineering researcher to acquire an ORCID ID.<br />
<br />
What is this? See the FAQ's at: <a href="http://www.cmu.edu/scholarly-communications/orcid-initiative/index.html" target="_blank">ORCID initiative @ CMU</a><br />

Carnegie Mellon has entered an agreement with TechStreet to purchase standards that you need for your courses and your research. Please submit your requests to sciref@andrew.cmu.edu.<br />
<br />
Speaking of standards, consider applying for <a href="http://www.ieee.org/education_careers/education/standards/applications.html" target="_blank">IEEE Standards Education Grants</a><br />

<br />
We are waiting for the Sorrells Engineering & Science Library to reopen after summer remodeling--should be soon, hopefully on Monday August 26. Check the library webpage for the official announcement. We are anxious for you to experience the redesigned space. Introduce yourself to an Engineering Librarian: Donna Beck will be in 4408; Lynn Berard in 4409; Matt Marsteller in 4405.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

The <a href="http://phipps.conservatory.org/" target="_blank">Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens</a>, next door neighbors to our campus, is done with their wait! The corpse flower bloomed on August 20, 2013. Typically these flowers only bloom every 6-10 years.<br />
<br />
As a current student of Carnegie Mellon University, you have FREE OF CHARGE access to Phipps. <br />
Go over and take a break from your studies. If you don't have time to see "Romero," you will definitely discover something else blooming. <br />

What's that I see on the Library's home page Articles and Databases,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A-Z list?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes! It is the ASTM Digital Library! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
According to ASTM: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library is a vast collection of industry-leading standards and technical engineering information. The Library covers a broad range of engineering disciplines, including aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, environmental, geological, health and safety, industrial, materials science, mechanical, nuclear, petroleum, soil science, and solar engineering."</div>

Possible evidence for this model appeared last year in the unaccountable “noise” plaguing the GEO600 experiment in Germany, which searches for gravitational waves from black holes. To Hogan, the jitteriness suggested that the experiment had stumbled upon the lower limit of the spacetime pixels’ resolution." </p>Read more by clicking the link below!<br /><a href="http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2010/10/20/fermilab-scientists-to-test-hypothesis-of-holographic-universe/">Hogan's Holometer: Testing the hypothesis of a holographic universe</a>Engineering and Science Library of Carnegie Mellonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01071787076658522759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259493329892932205.post-88560702948759118392010-09-13T06:22:00.000-07:002010-09-13T06:22:33.198-07:00Introducing Bookmyne!Bookmyne is the name of a free iPhone app that provides Cameo search & account functionality.

SEE is Carnegie Mellow University’s Summer Engineering Experience for Girls. The aim of the program is to foster an interest in the sciences and math for teenage girls. For two weeks participants have the opportunity to learn how to think like engineers and examine the world around them as an engineer would.<br />
<br />

This magazine focuses on how everyday things work such as toilets, shoes, building materials, footballs, LEDs, and GPS. It discusses everything in a way that is very easy to understand, and it’s also very interesting. It’s definitely worth checking out, no matter what your age is or your level of experience with engineering and the sciences.<br />

<br />
<br />
"Google is planning to build, and test ultra-high speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the country. We'll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We'll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000, and potentially up to 500,000 people.<br />
As a first step, we're putting out a Request for Information (RFI) to help identify interested communities. We welcome responses from local government, as well as members of the public.<br />
Our goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better, and faster for everyone. Here are some specific things that we have in mind:<br />
<ul class="objectives"><li class="fast">Next generation apps: We want to see what developers and users can do with ultra high-speeds, whether it's creating new bandwidth-intensive "killer apps" and services, or other uses we can't yet imagine.</li>
<li class="lab">New deployment techniques: We'll test new ways to build fiber networks; to help inform, and support deployments elsewhere, we'll share key lessons learned with the world.</li>
<li class="open">Openness and choice: We'll operate an "open access" network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers. And consistent with our past advocacy, we'll manage our network in an open, non-discriminatory, and transparent way.</li>
</ul>Like our WiFi network in Mountain View, the purpose of this project is to experiment and learn. Network providers are making real progress to expand and improve high-speed Internet access, but there's still more to be done. We don't think we have all the answers – but through our trial, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the shared goal of delivering faster and better Internet for everyone." <i> </i><br />

Our membership is open to everyone but typically comprises inventors, engineers, scientists, programmers, hobbyists, artists, roboteers, families, entrepreneurs, and arts and crafts enthusiasts. Our focus is on collaboration, education, and community outreach. We’re a benevolent group and <b>do not</b> promote or condone illegal activities. The term “hacking” is used in a benign sense, in the context of deconstructing and understanding objects and systems and re-purposing existing materials for new and innovative uses."
