MSc Sound & Vibration Library Induction, October 2010

Library induction and information skills for MSc Sound and Vibration, given in October 2010. As well as an introduction to the hartley Library and the LoC classification scheme, it covers finding material from reading lists, e-journals, making up search strategies and searching online databases using boolean operators.

How to make an inter library loan request

The guide takes you through the various steps required to request a book, journal article, conference paper, thesis or other documents that the library does not hold in stock.

University of Southampton Inter-Library Loan (ILL) Form

A form for obtaining material from other libraries or institutions. Any type of material included.

Introduction to the Library for 1st Year ECS Students

There is an accompanying quiz in Blackboard on the INFO1010 page, and a link to a survey. (Look under Course Documents)

Programming Principles: The Java Library

In this session we point you at the Java Library, and go into some more details on how Strings work. We also introduce the HashMap class (a very useful type of collection).

Worksheet for library bibliometrics training

This is used in our Gradbook / Staffbook courses and covers the key web addresses and guidance for activities.

Hartley Library Search Planner

This 2-page planner will help students search databases more effectively using Boolean logic

WAIS seminar:Mathematics for Web Science Part3-1

ABSTRACT In the first two seminars we looked at the evolution of Ontologies from the current OWL level towards more powerful/expressive models and the corresponding hierarchy of Logics that underpin every stage of this evolution. We examined this in the more general context of the general evolution of the Web as a mathematical (directed and weighed) graph and the archetypical “living network” In the third seminar we will analyze further some of the startling properties that the Web has as a graph/network and which it shares with an array of “real-life” networks as well as some key elements of the mathematics (probability, statistics and graph theory) that underpin all this. No mathematical prerequisites are assumed or required. We will outline some directions that current (2005-now) research is taking and conclude with some illustrations/examples from ongoing research and applications that show great promise.
