Technology and libraries

Rationale: ICTs have changed the way information is created and distributed. They have also changed the way libraries select, acquire, organize and deliver information. Library automation has. By the end of the lesson you should be able to: Define library automation Define an automated/Integrated Library System and identify as general features. Be aware of standards. Define an online public access catalog/web catalog Indentify the binifit of Library automation Identify potentail difficult in imple menting library automation ...

In the context of related demands on and challenges for higher education, and libraries specifically, the key objectives of this thesis are to: a) Gain an insight into the complexities of the challenges in terms of change management, leadership and technology advances; b) Investigate the current change management practices in university libraries, with emphasis on Australian university libraries; and c) Develop new knowledge in the field of change management and leadership by investigating the way the chief librarians in university libraries approach these important issues.

In 2005 it was suggested within a New York Times article that perhaps a university level qualification in film studies could be considered “the new MBA” given the moving image’s extraordinary capacity for communicating messages on a global scale (Van Ness, 2005). The increasingly prominent position of films in the academic library from the early ‘90s onwards has popularly been attributed to the rise of film studies in universities along with advances in home video technology.

Affinity reagents capable of selective recognition of the different human immunoglobulin isotypes are important detection and purification tools in biotechnology. Here we describe the development and characterization of affinity proteins (affibodies) showing selective binding to human IgA. From protein libraries constructed by combinatorial mutagenesis of a 58-amino-acid, three-helix bundle domain derived from the IgG-binding staphylococcal protein A, variants showing IgA binding were selected by using phage display technology and IgA monoclonal antibodies (myeloma) as target molecules. ...

Government information is often not mobile friendly; increasing accessibility (especially of local information) is one way libraries can serve diverse users. Some libraries are providing services of this type in a desktop-oriented way already. This chapter discusses tools that can be used to make such sites more mobile friendly, including ones requiring little funds or technical background. The most obvious way to leverage patrons’ mobile devices is to put content on the Web.

Numerous innovations in high-throughput protein production and micro-array surface technologies have enabled the development of addressable formats for proteins ordered at high spatial density. Protein array imple-mentations have largely focused on antibody arrays for high-throughput protein profiling. However, it is also possible to construct arrays of full-length, functional proteins from a library of expression clones.

The reactive site loop of serpins undoubtedly defines in part their ability to inhibit a particular enzyme. Exchanges in the reactive loop of serpins might reassign the targets and modify the serpin–protease interaction kinetics. Based on this concept, we have developed a procedure to change the specificity of known serpins. First, reactive loops are very good substrates for the target enzymes. Therefore, we have used the phage-display technology to select from a penta-peptide phage library the best substrates for the human prostatekallikreinhK2 ...

Phage display of antibody libraries is a powerful tool for antibody discov-ery and evolution. Recombinant antibodies have been displayed on phage particles as scFvs or Fabs, and more recently as bivalent F(ab¢)2.We recently developed a technology (E-clonal) for screening of combinatorial IgG libraries using bacterial periplasmic display and selection by fluores-cence-activated cell sorting (FACS) [Mazor Yet al.

Phage display technology is a powerful selection approach to identify strong and specific binders to a large variety of targets. In this study, we compared the efficacy of a phage library displaying human heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (HCDR3) repertoires with a set of conventional random peptide libraries for the identification of CXCR4

This paper presents GpuCV, an open source multi-platform library for easily developing GPU-accelerated image processing and Computer Vision operators and applications. It is meant for computer vision scientist not familiar with GPU technologies. It is designed to be compatible with Intel’s OpenCV library by offering GPU-accelerated operators that can be integrated into native OpenCV applications.
