EZProxy: Use qurl, not url, really | Bibliographic Wilderness So, you send URLs to EZProxy, which say “take this other URL as a data value, and proxy it.” There are two basic params you can use to send URLs to EZProxy: 1. 2. You may be using #1 right now because You didn’t know about qurlYou consider qurl too confusing to debug, since you’ve got to look at those quoted urlsIt’s ‘too hard’ to generate the URL with the escaped value. Stop, don’t use #1 anymore, use #2. #1 is an illegal violates-the-standard URL. At first it might seem that while it’s technically illegal, it doesn’t really matter, after all, it works. So, anyway, going with the EZProxy url=illegal variant led down this hole, where the URL ended up getting transmogrified by my pipeline. Do it right, you’ll save yourself debugging trouble later.

Horizon Project:About - Horizon Project The NMC Horizon Project is a global ongoing research initiative that explores the trends, challenges, and technology developments likely to have an impact on teaching, learning, and creative inquiry. Founded in 2002, it uniquely provides a cross-sector view of disruptors in higher education, K-12, academic & research libraries, and museums, with NMC Horizon Report editions that focus on each. Subsequent virtual events in the NMC Beyond the Horizon series delve deeper into the subject matter, offering opportunities for participants to collaborate on devising strategies that solve pressing challenges and create better experiences for learners. Anyone with a stake in making teaching and learning more engaging, inclusive, and relevant can improve their knowledge and enhance their leadership via NMC Horizon Project resources. Each publication is published with an open license to promote sharing, remixing, and adapting. Get Involved:

ODLIS > odlis_A In classification, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a class, identified as a means of differentiating it from other classes. As defined in FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), one of a set of characteristics enabling users of information to formulate queries and evaluate responses when searching for information about a specific entity. Attributes can be inherent in the entity (physical characteristics, labeling information, etc.) or supplied by an external agent (assigned identifiers, contextual information, etc.). For example, the logical attributes of a creative work include its title, form, date of creation, intended audience, etc. As a general rule, a given instance of an entity exhibits a single value for each attribute, but multiple values are possible (a work may be published under more than one title or in more than one form), or a value may change over time (date of publication for serials).

Most Helpful Apps for Students Ever since the arrival of the computer, technology has been seen as a paradise for cheaters, scammers and corner-cutters the world over. Within education particularly, technology is held in suspicious fingers with heavy frowns at the world of online essay mills, fake degrees, uncertified courses and leaked exam papers. But technology and education don’t have to be kept separate – combining interactive technology with educational materials has been proven to help accelerate learning and promote more innovative methods of retention than a simple textbook and a set of cue cards could ever do. And learning is only a part of it; technology also has other benefits for students, including better safety, better health and better communication. 1.
