August 1995 Volume 33 Number 4 Maximizing Program Delivery in Extension: Lessons from Leadership for Transformation Kevin M. Laughlin Extension Agricultural Agent University of Idaho Sandpoint, Idaho Internet address: bonner@uidaho.edu Janet L. Schmidt Area Extension Agricultural Agent Washington State University Colfax, Washington Internet address: schmidtj@wsu.edu The historically familiar clientele base that accesses Cooperative Extension programs is changing. Population trends show an increase in the number of rural residents while the number of farmers and ranchers continues to decline. Rural and urban communities are becoming disenfranchised as infrastructure is stretched beyond capacity. Decisions are made for rural areas and agriculture largely by legislatures from metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas have more problems because of higher density population, but also have more services and educational opportunities available. Underserved audiences represent a wide diversity of potential users of Extension's educational programs. How does Extension find a balance among programmatic offerings for various clientele groups who have a need for our programs and expertise? At a recent leadership training workshop in Arizona, Extension professionals from the western region explored these issues using case studies (Huber, 1993). One of the products of the workshop was a series of tables that identified the pros and cons of various Extension delivery methods. Extension professionals might use these as they consider or plan new programs.

FunFS FunFS SearchWiki Recent Changes ... FunFS : Fast User Network FileSystem News About Documentation Download ... FunFS is an advanced network file system designed as a successor for NFS. Origins FunFS was originally developed at Net Integration Technologies , but has since been made opensource, in the hope that other people will find it useful, and/or contribute. Design The primary design goals of FunFS are reliability, security and performance. To achive these goals, FunFS uses an unconventional approach to network filesystems: it moves the majority of the filesystem implementation to userspace. There are many advantages to this approach, including: Ease of development. Unlike kernel code, userspace code can be written in C++, and is significantly easier to debug. Code reuse. Userspace applications can also take advantage of external libraries, maximizing code reuse and allowing the developers to focus on the core functionality. Massive on-disk caching. The userspace daemon can use the local filesystem to facilitate very large cache thus greatly improving perfomance and minimizing network utilization. The performance overhead is only incurred on first access (because of the kernel's page cache) and is insignificant compared to network latency.

Libraries vs. the Internet A collection of summaries, abstracts, and comments from recent discussions (mostly online). These show that while printed books and journals continue to be published at an increasing rate, this is deceptive for the academic domain. Libraries are facing a crisis, with the purchasing power of budgets having diminished sharply in the last decade. The solution being envisaged by many librarians is increased electronic publication, especially the shift of journals to the Internet. But here too we face serious problems, in particular the degradation of bibliographical standards and the absence of classification for Internet documents. 1.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONTRIBUTED PAPERS SESSION BIOMEDICAL AND LIFE SCIENCES DIVISION 89th Annual Conference Indianapolis, Indiana June 10, 1998 SCHIN, SEND AND NAND: Sharing is Not a Four-Letter Word for these Interlibrary Loan Networks Based on the National Library of Medicine's DOCLINE System Thomas W. Hill, Librarian, Upper Savannah Area Health Education Consortium Medical Library, Greenwood, SC PROACTIVE PARTNERSHIPS FOR RESOURCE SHARING In 1986, the Upper Savannah AHEC Medical Library requested about 500 items annually, while loaning a couple hundred items. Requests went in the mail on the typed American Library Association interlibrary loan forms. In 1997, the library received almost 1,200 items through interlibrary loan, and it loaned more than 1,000. Almost all requests were sent and received electronically using the National Library of Medicine's interlibrary system, DOCLINE. During the AHEC fiscal year 1994/95, a record 1,959 items were borrowed and 1,486 items were loaned. In the past decade, the number of articles photocopied from the journal collection has increased, approaching the 4,000 mark in 1997. As demands for budget dollars increase, libraries are called upon to transform themselves to facilitate the delivery of information, to communicate measurements of accomplishments, and to support our partners' research needs. A proactive transformation lead to the remarkable numbers listed above. This has also been the decade when the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) has instituted its automated interlibrary loan (ILL) system, DOCLINE, and encouraged libraries and individuals to use technology developments as partners in meeting information needs.

January 24, 2000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Sayeed Choudhury sayeed@jhu.edu MINOLTA'S PS 3000 FACE-UP BOOK SCANNER USED IN ROBOT AUTOMATED BOOK RETRIEVAL SYSTEM CAPM System to Provide Real-time Browsability of Library Collections Minolta is strengthening its commitment to supporting library sciences by participating, along with a group of international corporations, in Johns Hopkins University’s Comprehensive Access to Print Materials (CAPM) project. Because of overcrowded facilities, due to growing print collections and increased use of electronic resources, many libraries have had to move parts of their collection to off-site storage facilities where access is limited and difficult. CAPM’s goal is to improve access to library and information resources and ease budgetary and space restrictions in libraries by maximizing the use of off-site storage facilities. Minolta Corporation’s Office Systems Sales and Marketing Division is supporting the CAPM project by providing four PS 3000 Face-up Publication Scanners to Johns Hopkins. "We were pleased that Johns Hopkins wanted to use the PS 3000 for its CAPM initiative and approached us about participating with them," said Bud Murphy, senior vice president and general manager, Office Systems Sales and Marketing Division, Minolta Corporation. "Minolta has a long history of developing technology for libraries. We developed the PS 3000 to help libraries balance the increased demands for public access with their commitment to preserving collections for future generations. The goals of CAPM project and the capabilities of the PS 3000 are a perfect match."

Home Search Browse About IPO ... Links Maximizing Revenue For Your Facility Concession Operations Generate Additional Income ———————————————— By Barb Manselle ———————————————— O ne of a facility manager's many responsibilities is maximizing the potential revenue coming into their facility. There are several sources available to park and recreation professionals that can, with a little modification and innovation, produce additional revenue. Three of these sources are generated through the use of vending machines, electronic games and the operation of concessions stands. Install Vending Machines and Electronic Games — For Profit Additional revenue can be developed by soliciting a contract for vending machine and electronic game services. Potential revenue becomes even more enhanced if you have other park district locations that also use vending machines or electronic games — all machines can be included on the same contract for services. This arrangement gives any prospective service contract companies more potential, which, in turn, can lead to other avenues of opportunity for your park district. In addition to facilitating increased revenue, the vending/games service contract companies can provide a bevy of other benefits. In the past

From the world's leaders in high-performance, scientific computing, comes the world's next generation of high-performance, scientific library. Silicon Graphics / Cray Scientific Library , or SCSL , now available for Silicon Graphics computer systems. What is SCSL? Why use a vendor-supplied scientific library? What exactly is in SCSL 1.0? How does someone get SCSL? ... What will SCSL provide in the future? For more information on SCSL, contact sgi-ae@acl. Last updated: 4/1/97 What is SCSL? SCSL is a new scientific and math library initially available on IRIX (TM) 6.4 systems that will become the standard scientific library available on all Silicon Graphics and selected Cray platforms over time. This new library will merge the functionality of Silicon Graphics' CHALLENGEcomplib and Cray Research's LibSci into one standard library, providing a new library with more functionality and better performance than either library by itself. Applications originally written for the previous generation of libraries will easily migrate to SCSL. SCSL routines minimize code development effort, saving programmer time and expense, and maximizing code performance. Back to top Why use a vendor-supplied scientific library?

52. TOOLBOX: Maximizing Your PL/SQL Development Environment maximizing Your PL/SQL Development Environment. Firstgeneration code libraries,debuggers, and coding environments are reserved for Oracle for its own use). http://arthemis.na.astro.it/oracle/oramag/archives/Toolbox.html

TOOLBOX JULY/AUGUST 1997 Maximizing Your PL/SQL Development Environment By Steven Feurstein It's a two-edged sword: PL/SQL developers are fortunate to have an advanced, robust language like PL/SQL, but the supporting environment is still immature. First-generation code libraries, debuggers, and coding environments are just making their way to the marketplace. They are better than nothing, but years behind the tools for languages such as C and BASIC. Although supporting tools are still lacking, developers can employ best practices in their coding methodology, thereby improving the quality of their applications and leveraging Oracle-based technologies more effectively. Planning PL/SQL Development If you rush into PL/SQL-based development, you will miss out on most of the benefits of PL/SQL, including built-in packages, highly reusable code, extensive self-documentation capabilities, and PL/SQL tables. Instead, you will have lots of redundant code that breaks easily: a chaotic mess that takes forever to debug and maintain. Here are two suggested planning steps specific to PL/SQL: 1. Consolidate access to the underlying database. PL/SQL is tightly integrated with SQL. You can execute SQL statements directly inside PL/SQL code. But there is a fundamental 'disconnect' between a PL/SQL program and the database. For example, as soon as you write a six-way table join in a SELECT statement in a procedure, you hard-code those entity relationships. When those relationships change, you have to change your code. The challenge is to construct the code in a way that minimizes the number of places you must change it. Try to anticipate the types of SQL statements you will need, and then prebuild that SQL only inside packages. When developers need to execute a query, they can fetch from a package-based cursor. When they need to insert a record, they can do it through a procedure. If changes must be made to the SQL, you can change the contents of the package and recompile without affecting other programs.

Events White Papers Press Contact Archives ... Articles Press Release By Date By Product Testimonials By Date By Product Plasmon Announces Support of Double-Sided DVD-R Media in Automated Libraries Nearly doubles the storage capacity without increasing the footprint Denver, CO, August 19, 2002 Plasmon a leading manufacturer of the widest range of automated data storage libraries, today announced support for double-sided DVD-Recordable media in its D-Series DVD/CD libraries. Use of double-sided media effectively doubles the storage capacity of the library without increasing the footprint. With demand growing for low cost data archiving, Plasmon has adapted DVD-R drives for use with its patented "Rotation Station" media flipper. The Plasmon D-Series DVD libraries had previously supported double-sided DVD-RAM media. With this new feature customers can choose to utilize either type of double-sided media, or even mixed media operation with both DVD-RAM and DVD-Recordable in the same library – thus optimizing the flexibility of the storage system. Applications requiring economical storage of both transient data and archive data can use a single library, maximizing return on investment. "K-PAR welcomes this new addition to the Plasmon range, "says Rachel Woods, Sales Director of K-PAR Archiving Software Limited. "The pressure on storage resources within an organization means a value has to be put on the data being stored. The flexibility that is offered by the Plasmon range of jukeboxes complimented by K-PAR’s Archimedia software helps companies to make the right choice depending on the type of data. Archimedia supports all Plasmon jukeboxes under the same user interface, therefore our existing integrators can immediately start offering solutions based on the double-sided DVD-R media".
