NORTHEASTERN MAINE LIBRARY DISTRICT PLAN OF SERVICE GEOGRAPHY AND POPULATION The Northeastern Maine Library District (NMLD) serves the citizens of the seven northern and eastern counties of the state: Aroostook, Hancock, Knox, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Waldo, and Washington. The District is spread over an area of 19,103 square miles with a total population of . It is the largest geographically and the third largest in population of the three Maine Regional Library Districts. The population of the communities with member libraries goes from 50 in Frenchboro to in Bangor. The median size of a community in the Northeastern District is in the range from 1,000 to 2,500. OVERVIEW Libraries The Maine Regional Library System was established October 1973. The first Northeastern Maine Library District Council meeting was held February 13, 1974 The post of District Consultant was held from 1975 to 1976 by Isabel Carroll; from 1978 to 1979 by Benjamin Keating; from 1980 to January 1988 by Karl Beiser, with Benita Davis as acting Consultant from 1986 to 1988; and from 1988 to present by Benita Davis. As of August 2004, 202 libraries and school systems had voluntarily joined the Northeastern Maine Library District and were receiving service benefits through that membership. It is important that the governing body understand that participation with representation in the Council acts to improve services to the people in their communities, be they towns, schools, post-secondary, or special libraries.

sun.com docs.sun.com How To Buy My Sun ... Performance Considerations Previous Contents Index Next Position-Independent Code 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.

SERVICES PROGRAMS PRESS PUBLICATIONS ... CONTACT Illinois State Library tracer(" > ", "home.html","tracergrey","smblack","smblack"); ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC INFORMATION NETWORKS Electronic Networks and the Library's Mission Libraries make it possible for citizens to have access to the information they need to make informed decisions. As a member of the Illinois Library and Information Network (ILLINET), the Illinois State Library is committed to networking. The practice of networking represents good public policy by maximizing the use of the resources of all types of libraries. Every library user benefits from expanded access to information beyond the four walls of a single library building. The Illinois State Library and all ILLINET libraries use electronic information networks such as the Internet for a variety of purposes: access to shared automation systems that provide bibliographic access to the collections of the local library and libraries in the region and across the state access to the wealth of information resources available via the Internet access to shared licensed databases available to ILLINET member libraries through regional and statewide cooperative programs Internet electronic mail service is available to patrons in libraries that elect to offer this service. In many areas of Illinois, regional community information networks are operational and offer library patrons access to Internet electronic mail and related services.

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 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: Summary matrix of survey results, All States Detailed Findings from California Libraries Detailed Findings from Libraries Outside California 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.

Securing Your Environment Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 Maximizing Product Security 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.

Iverson Sean Fox Science Education Resource Center Carleton College Flora McMartin MERLOT ]. 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.
