Réalité augmentée & patrimoine Enquête : Réalité augmentée & patrimoineLa réalité augmentée (RA), c’est-à-dire la superposition, en temps réel, d’une image virtuelle sur les éléments de la réalité, est un enjeu fort de la révolution numérique actuelle. Elle touche de nombreux secteurs d’activité (médecine, automobile et… valorisation du patrimoine). Si l’usage de la RA est encore anecdotique, voire “expérimental”, il devrait se développer dans les prochaines années. au sommaire :- La réalité augmentée, une nouvelle vision du patrimoineSi les années 1990 furent marquées par l’émergence de la réalité virtuelle (panoramas à 360° réalisés à partir d’images fixes), les années 2010 sont celles de la réalité augmentée (superposition, en temps réel, d’une image virtuelle sur les éléments de la réalité). en savoir plus

Wiegand How Google Works: Are Search Engines Really Dumb and Why Should Educators Care? [Available Full-Text, Free] Before the web and search engines, libraries and librarians were the best answer to students’ question, Where do I find information about …? Today, search engines, especially Google, rule. 1 Educators have known for many years that Google is not just a search engine. “To Google” is a research behavior that is a habit for students. A study of college students’ information seeking habits found that Google is the primary resource for the majority of students for course-related research. 2 That dependency was not adopted when students entered college; that practice was embraced when they first taught themselves how to use search engines for research. Given their popularity with students, knowing more about how search engines work is vital to understanding information access in a digital age. 3 Unfortunately, most students do not understand how Google and other search engines rank results.

Answering the Illegal Question - Manage Your Career By Julianna Baggott I'm lucky in that I work in a department that is kid-friendly, at a university that's making a concerted effort to support women on the faculty and families (including with a new parental-leave policy). As a novelist whose personal bio exists on the back of every one of my books, I don't have the luxury of pretending not to have kids. At my job interviews at the Modern Language Association convention a few years ago, it was obvious to anyone who knew my work and could count on their fingers that I was immensely pregnant with my fourth child. In academe that is much like growing a fourth head—though growing a fourth head would be more attractive because academics prize the mind over the body. I've been treated extremely well on job interviews when I was hugely pregnant—so large I once had to ask for a golf cart for the campus tour. I wasn't pregnant during that interview but I did have four kids at home. Everyone looked at me patiently, as if to say, "Well?" Wrong.

Nondisclosure Clauses | Cornell University Library Cornell University Library’s Position on Nondisclosure Clauses in Licenses To promote openness and fairness among libraries licensing scholarly resources, Cornell University Library will not enter into vendor contracts that require nondisclosure of pricing information or other information that does not constitute a trade secret. All new and renewed licenses submitted with nondisclosure clauses will not be signed but henceforth will be referred to the Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources and Special Collections for further negotiation. Background and Rationale Occasionally in licenses governing electronic resources, publishers will request that the Cornell University Library (CUL) treat the subscription price as confidential information and not disclose it to third parties. In the past, some libraries have tolerated these clauses in the belief that they might result in a lower cost. Most publishers find that non-disclosure agreements are not necessary. 1. 2. 3. 4.
