If We Build It: Scholarly Communications and Networking Technologies: Proceedings of the North American Serials Inte
by Mls Suzanne McMahonHelp lay the foundation for the future of scholarly communication with these informative chapters on new information technologies and predictions for developments in the publishing industry. If We Build It, the proceedings from the 7th annual conference of the North American Serials Interest Group, stresses that the time to prepare for the revolution and phenomenal growth in electronic technology is now.This groundbreaking book addresses important questions about the future that libraries need to answer today such as: What will change for serials librarians, vendors, and publishers as ink and paper become the oddity and electronic transmitters and receivers become the norm? What services will be in demand and who will provide them? Which economic models will keep them afloat? Most importantly, can the disparate groups currently active in scholarly communication work together to build the physical, social, and economic backbone of a new model?If We Build It is an invaluable guide to the future of serials librarianship. It describes new technologies, predicts how the publishing industry will develop in the near future, and explores how the library may evolve within a new system of scholarly communication. Just a few of the exciting topics covered in these proceedings include the development of standards for networking technologies, the shift from ownership to access in libraries as a result of electronic information, the history of scholarly communication, copyright of electronic data, higher education in the 1990?s, marketing in libraries. A unique perspective on issues of cooperation between librarians, scholars, and publishers is provided by the inclusion of a joint conference day with the Society for Scholarly Publishing. If We Build It is an energizing look at the new possibilities for libraries and a call to strengthen structures and work together to build a solid future for libraries within the future of scholarly communication.

If You, Then Me
by Yvonne WoonWarm and funny, this coming-of-age romcom from teen author Yvonne Woon is set in Silicon Valley and delves into the questions we all ask when making mistakes—in life and in love—perfect for fans of Emergency Contact and When Dimple Met Rishi. <p><p> What would you ask your future self? First question: What does it feel like to kiss someone?Xia is stuck in a lonely, boring loop. Her only escapes are Wiser, an artificial intelligence app she designed to answer questions as her future self, and a mysterious online crush she knows only as ObjectPermanence. <p><p> Until one day Xia enrolls at the Foundry, an app incubator for tech prodigies in Silicon Valley, and suddenly anything is possible. Flirting with Mast, a classmate also working on AI, leads to a date. Speaking up generates a vindictive nemesis intent on publicly humiliating her. And running into Mitzy Erst, Foundry alumna and Xia’s idol, could give Xia all the answers. <p><p> And then Xia receives a shocking message from ObjectPermanence. He is at the Foundry, too. Xia is torn between Mast and ObjectPermanence—just as Mitzy pushes her towards a shiny new future. Xia doesn’t have to ask Wiser to know: The right choice could transform her into the future self of her dreams, but the wrong one could destroy her.

Il motore ad acqua
by Maria Antonietta Ricagno Ares Van JaagIl motore ad acqua è un’invenzione che sfortunatamente è stata “inventata” molte volte. L'idrogeno proveniente dall'acqua è molto abbondante, è rinnovabile e può essere utilizzato sia nei Paesi con scarse risorse energetiche sia in quelli che ne dispongono in abbondanza. Il petrolio crudo e il gas naturale sono invece risorse energetiche limitate. Ma sono molte le persone che pensano che determinate tecnologie promettenti siano state soppresse da vari poteri politici o economici, generalmente allo scopo di proteggere i loro investimenti e interessi e, ai livelli più estremi e assurdi dell'illogicità cospiroparanoica, per motivazioni sinistre di portata ancora maggiore. In questa nuova opera, il versatile compositore e scrittore Van Jaag ci accompagna in un appassionante viaggio attraverso la storia di questa invenzione sconosciuta e dei suoi denigrati inventori.
Il podcasting semplice: come avviare e guadagnare dai podcast
by Adidas WilsonSostanzialmente un podcast è una specie di trasmissione radiofonica. L'unica differenza è che il podcast presenta determinati vantaggi, come ad esempio la possibilità di ascoltarli quando lo si desidera, invece che ad una certa ora o un determinato giorno. I podcast somigliano molto a dei talk show radiofonici, tuttavia sono molto diversi tra loro, come i video YouTube e la televisione. Un podcast può essere descritto perfettamente come una serie di episodi in formato di file audio, lo stesso che si utilizza per la musica su smartphone o laptop. Proprio come qualsiasi altro spettacolo televisivo o radiofonico, un podcast si incentra solitamente su un tema: ad esempio i videogiochi, l'horror, lo spettacolo, lo sport, la politica, ecc.. In ogni episodio si affronta un tema. Puoi scegliere di iscriverti ad un podcast (solitamente in forma gratuita) o ascoltare un episodio singolo. Un podcast piuttosto famoso è Pod Saves America, in cui si affrontano tematiche di cronaca politica. I conduttori sono Daniel Pfeiffer, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor e Jon Favreau. Spesso invitano esperti a esprimere la propria opinione. Gli episodi sono incentrati principalmente su tematiche politiche, come la riforma fiscale o la sanità pubblica. Un altro podcast è Critical Role.
