DSpace Training for UNN Library Staff
Unknown
7:49 PM

No comments
The Library Principal Programmer took time to give a refreshers' training to the Library staff involved in uploading content to Dspace. Dspace is an open source software used in the management of the library's Institutional Repository (IR). The participants were the trainer, Submitters and Editors. The workflow starts from the Admin who does the configuration; the submitters who submit items to various Communities and Collections, and the Editors who edit the metadata, approve, and Commit to Archive. The process is designed in such a way that an Editor can reject a submission. This sends an alert to the Submitter who then effects the correction.

What to know when launching a journal: An interview with Dr. Cato T. Laurencin

Ever been curious to know what it takes to launch a new journal?
We interviewed Dr. Cato T. Laurencin, Editor-in-Chief of both Regenerative Engineering and Translational Medicine and Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, to learn more about what motivated him in launching his two Springer journals and what the process involved.
Dr. Laurencin will be the Kavli Distinguished Lecturer and
Plenary Speaker at The Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring 2016
meeting (28-March through 1-April, 2016) in Phoenix, AZ. Additionally,
he will be receiving the Society for Biomaterials Founder’s Award at the
World Biomaterials Congress (17-22 May, 2016) in Montreal, QC, where
the first Cato T. Laurencin Travelling Fellows will also be presented.
Q: You’ve launched two very different journals over the last few years very close together in time but quite different in scope (Regenerative Engineering and Translational Medicine and Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, respectively). What motivated you?
A: In both cases I think that we are in a transformational period for both areas of scientific inquiry. For health disparities, there really isn’t an international publisher of scholarly articles on racial and ethnic health disparities like Springer and health disparities I think will define medicine in the 21st century. For Regenerative Engineering, we feel we are at the dawn of a new field. We anticipate great things.
Q: What would you say are the most important steps for setting up a journal for launch?

This is intriguing and we would love everyone to try this at home. Sometimes when we visit 5-star hotels, we get thrilled by the way they present their dishes. There is nothing to it than simply taking time to learn how these things are done. Cooking is an interesting art. Some are gifted with it; some learn to be gifted. This time, we bring you how to get different shapes of food using various molds which is all about creativity. You get to find that presentation matters in most things in life, food being no exception. You can get someone hungry by the way you present your food. Africans would always say that 'the eyes eat first before the mouth'. This saying is also used when taking about mode of dressing. If you are addressed the way you are dressed as a human being, then you could be eaten the way you are presented. Happy viewing!

A former Googler who is now CEO of her own startup shares the one trait she looks for in every job candidate she interviews
When you are hiring employees for a fast-growing startup, you need smart and humble people, says Liz Wessel, the CEO and cofounder of WayUp. "You want people who are willing to get scrappy, pick up new tools, and execute quickly."
That's why the one thing she looks for in every job candidate she interviews for WayUp,
a site used by hundreds of thousands of college students to find jobs
