Linker And Libraries Guide maximizing Shareability. As mentioned in Underlying System, only a shared object stext segment is shared by all processes that use it. http://docsun.cites.uiuc.edu/sun_docs/C/solaris_9/SUNWdev/LLM/p24.html
Extractions: Previous Contents Index Next The compiler can generate position-independent code under the -K pic option. Whereas the code within a dynamic executable is usually tied to a fixed address in memory, position-independent code can be loaded anywhere in the address space of a process. Because the code is not tied to a specific address, it will execute correctly without page modification at a different address in each process that uses it. This code creates programs that require the smallest amount of page modification at runtime. When you use position-independent code, relocatable references are generated as an indirection that use data in the shared object's data segment. The text segment code remains read-only, and all relocation updates are applied to corresponding entries within the data segment. See Global Offset Table (Processor-Specific) and Procedure Linkage Table (Processor-Specific) for more details on the use of these two sections. If a shared object is built from code that is not position-independent, the text segment will usually require a large number of relocations to be performed at runtime. Although the runtime linker is equipped to handle this, the system overhead this creates can cause serious performance degradation.
Access To Electronic Information Networks The Illinois State Library and all ILLINET libraries use electronic information policy by maximizing the use of the resources of all types of libraries. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/library/what_we_have/access.html

The goals of the libraries include providing access to and delivery of information resources to faculty, students, and staff. To that end the libraries develop, organize, and maintain collections that will support and enhance the curriculum, provide access to information worldwide, and teach skills necessary to identify, locate, evaluate, and use resources. Over the next year we will be working closely with faculty and students to increase access to materials and research and to assist faculty in integrating these resources into their curricula. Print Collections Printed books and journals remain an indispensable resource for many academic disciplines, particularly the humanities. For many parts of the globe, print publication continues to be the dominant means of scholarly communication. Consequently, the library system devotes a large proportion of its collection budget to building and maintaining print collections. These collections are heavily used by the UW-Madison academic community, by other UW campuses, and by scholars worldwide. During the next year we will continue to develop, manage, and provide access to these resources to meet the needs of the UW-Madison research and teaching community.
Project Videonet Survey Survey of Videoconferencing use Among US Public libraries strategy, actionplan, and administrative support for maximizing the technology s utility. http://www.infopeople.org/partners/vidnet/exec_summary.html
Extractions: Project Videonet Survey of Videoconferencing Use Among U.S. Public Libraries Survey Conducted - March and April, 2003 Findings Published July 2003 I. Background Over the past five years, videoconferencing has become an important communications technology in many American public libraries. However, many of those libraries, at least in California, have said they could benefit from more information regarding how their peer institutions are purchasing, using, and promoting the technology. In response, Project Videonet recently surveyed nearly 200 equipped public libraries across the country regarding a variety of videoconferencing issues. After analyzing survey findings, we are pleased to publish this "snapshot" of how public libraries are using videoconferencing to better serve their patrons and support their staffs. Major findings, conclusions, and recommendations are below. For more details, please see: II. Major Findings Most public libraries purchase videoconferencing equipment with the help of grant funding or other assistance. Some receive equipment as part of a statewide or regional deployment.

To assist you, the LE@D staff offers the following implementation and integration guide. It can be useful to view the possible ways of integrating Library Education @ Desktop courses as falling along a continuum of effort. The library system that advances along the continuum will see a correspondingly greater return on its investment in Library Education @ Desktop training. That return on investment will be in the form of improved patron and employee satisfaction, and a more proactive and confident staff better equipped to deal with the challenges they face every day. For Library Systems Promote Send out broadcast e-mails, faxes, and flyers to member libraries announcing LE@D classes. Put up signage and signup sheets in staff areas, and remind personnel during staff meetings of upcoming LE@D courses.

Extractions: MSDN Home MSDN Library Servers and Enterprise Development Host Integration Server ... Securing Your Environment Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 In addition to the general guidelines elsewhere in this section, the following specific recommendations can help you increase the security of your Host Integration Server 2004 deployment. Since all of these actions are performed during deployment or configuration, procedures are located in the appropriate sections of this documentation. Note While these recommendations apply across the entire product, the Transaction Integrator Threat Mitigation section also offers information specifically for TI users. The most effective action you can take is to utilize integrated security by using the Host Integration Server 2004 Single Sign-on (SSO) feature. It is especially important to use SSO because certain data used by the product is impossible or unwise to encrypt, making it potentially vulnerable. The SSO feature reduces or eliminates this vulnerability. When accessing a SQL Server database: Since the Resync service will access this database and the database may service multiple, unsecured domains you should always use a local SQL Server database and never grant remote access to it.

Extractions: ]. The specific goal of the Starting Point library is to increase faculty knowledge of the full range of teaching methods that can be used in their classes. With this knowledge they will be better positioned to design and implement introductory geoscience courses that support student learning. We draw on three powerful tools for designing and refining the library portal and its underlying information architecture: 1) techniques of user-centered design that engage users in design and testing [ ], research on the work needs and habits of targeted user groups [ ], and evaluation techniques that use webmetrics to understand use patterns [ The Starting Point DL combines traditional digital library discovery through search and browse, with thematic portals that contain substantial content designed to motivate and facilitate use of the library collections. To successfully design the library requires an understanding of users' current work patterns and attitudes toward the library content. In our particular case, where we desire to bring information about teaching entry level geoscience contained in our library into use by geoscience faculty, it was critical to know how faculty learn about teaching, how they make decisions about what they do in class, and how they use the web in preparing for class.
