<h2>Tips of the Month:</h2>
<h4>UW Proxy Bookmarklet</h4>
<p>Most of the databases, electronic journals and e-books available through the Libraries are restricted to UW faculty, students and staff. If you want to connect to a UW-restricted resource from outside of the UW campus network, you must log in through the <strong>UW Libraries off-campus proxy</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/proxy-unlocked.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-491 alignright" title="proxy-unlocked" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/proxy-unlocked.gif?w=460" alt=""   /></a><a href="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/proxy-locked.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-490 alignnone" title="proxy-locked" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/proxy-locked.gif?w=460" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p>If you often do your research from off-campus, we recommend you install the very convenient <strong><span style="color:#000000;">proxy bookmarklet</span></strong> on your browser&#8217;s bookmarks toolbar. This  bookmarklet lets you authenticate yourself without having to move from the webpage you are on.  <a title="Handy tool for off-campus access" href="http://lib.washington.edu/help/proxyTools.html" target="_blank">More info&#8230;.</a></p>
<h4>Springer&#8217;s My Copy Ebooks<br />
Personal Copies Available for $24.99</h4>
<p>UW students, faculty, and staff may purchase for their own use, a paper bound copy of  most Springer ebooks in UW&#8217;s subscribed collection.  These are  mostly titles from 2005+ in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and physics.  Access <a href="http://www.springerlink.com/mathematics-and-statistics/?sortorder=asc&amp;Content+Type=Books" target="_blank">Springerlink</a> via an UW on-campus or proxied account to find a book.  The  <a href="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/springer.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-463" title="springer" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/springer.gif?w=460" alt="Indicates UW access"   /></a> symbol indicates UW access.  Check at the top of the title&#8217;s record for this text in the orange bar:</p>
<p>Buy a Print Copy (USD 24.95)</p>
<address><em>MyCopy (Printed Books)</em><em><br />
Because your library provides access to one or more Springer eBook packages, SpringerLink exclusively offers you MyCopy books. You can order a printed copy of this book in black-and-white with a full-color, soft cover. It will be shipped conveniently to your home or work address. The delivery time is approximately 8-11 business days.</em></address>
<address><em>The price is USD 24.95 per book and includes shipping and handling.</em></address>

<h2>Research Commons Workshop Recordings</h2>
<p>The Research Commons in Allen Library runs a variety of helpful workshops.  Find recordings of past graduate student workshops on citation management, writing and library research tips at <a href="http://commons.lib.washington.edu/services/graduate-workshop-series-recordings" target="_blank">http://commons.lib.washington.edu/services/graduate-workshop-series-recordings</a>.  Check for similar sessions to come during Winter Quarter in Upcoming Events.</p>
<p>↔↔</p>
<h2>INTERVIEWS WITH MATHEMATICIANS</h2>
<div>
<h4>Cornell&#8217;s Eugene B. Dynkin Collection of Mathematics Interviews</h4>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Cornell University Library has acquired a collection of nearly 150 audio and video recordings of interviews of mathematicians&#8211;many are Russian mathematicians&#8211;conducted over 50 years by Eugene Dynkin, Cornell&#8217;s Emeritus A. R. Bullis Professor of Mathematics. </span><a href="http://dynkincollection.library.cornell.edu/">The recordings are now available online</a><span style="color:#333333;">.</span></p>
<p>↔↔</p>
<h2>IMU Blog on Mathematical Journals</h2>
<p>From <a href="http://www.mathunion.org/imu-net/archive/2011/imu-net-50/" target="_blank"><em><strong>IMU-Net 49b</strong>: Special issue the Blog on Mathematical Journals</em></a></p>
<p>The IMU and the ICIAM have created a joint working group to study  &#8220;whether or not a joint ICIAM/IMU method of ranking mathematical journals should be instituted, and what other possible options there may be for protecting against the inappropriate use of impact factors and similar manipulable indices for evaluating research.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s an initial report on the issue at the following URL:<br />
<a href="http://www.mathunion.org/publications/reports-recommendations">http://www.mathunion.org/publications/reports-recommendations</a>.</p>
<p>Before going ahead and taking any further action the IMU and ICIAM want to<br />
explore opinions on a larger scale and get as much input as possible from the mathematical community. That is why a &#8220;<a href="http://www.mathunion.org/journals" target="_blank">Blog on Mathematical Journals</a>&#8220;  has been installed.  Input from a wide range of persons is wanted to discuss this important issue and prepare for the final decision process.</p>

Welcome to the new academic year!</em></h3>
<h2>EBooks@UW Libraries:  Math &amp; Stat</h2>
<p>In addition to the thousands of volumes shelved in Math Research Library and elsewhere on campus, Math and Stat researchers have access to many ebooks in their disciplines.  Most math and stat ebooks can be found in these collections:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/mathematics-and-statistics/?sortorder=asc&amp;Content+Type=Books" target="_blank">Springerlink</a>–can download chapter PDFs, no use restrictions<br />
<a href="http://epubs.siam.org/ebooks/" target="_blank">SIAM EBooks</a>–can download chapter PDFs, no use restrictions<br />
<a href="http://www.washington.eblib.com.offcampus.lib.washington.edu/patron/SearchResults.aspx?ca=28&amp;t=category&amp;owned=on" target="_blank">EBL</a>–chapter PDFs, use restrictions</p>
<p>The Libraries has put together a <strong><a href="http://guides.lib.washington.edu/howdoi" target="_blank">HOW DO I?</a></strong> web page full of handy hints such as:  <a href="http://guides.lib.washington.edu/content.php?pid=55083&amp;sid=428176#transcript">How do I find electronic books available through UW Libraries?</a></p>
<p class="alignnone size-full wp-image-444">UW researchers can access ebooks 24/7.  They are available remotely after logging in at  <a href="http://offcampus.lib.washington.edu/login?url=http://lib.washington.edu/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-444" title="proxy-locked" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/proxy-locked.gif?w=460" alt=""   /></a>.  This button is located at the top of most UW Libraries webpages.</p>
<p><a href="http://epubs.siam.org/ebooks/"><img class="alignright" src="http://epubs.siam.org/polopoly_fs/7.2438%21/eBooks_logo_290x70.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="39" /></a>Applied Math students and faculty:  over 400 SIAM books are finally online for UW users. Here&#8217;s an Excel list of their holdings:</p>
<p><a href="http://lib.washington.edu/math/SIAM92011.xlsx">http://lib.washington.edu/math/SIAM92011.xlsx</a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find the fulltext at:  <a href="http://epubs.siam.org/ebooks/">http://epubs.siam.org/ebooks/</a></p>
<p>↔↔</p>
<h2>Scanner Now Available</h2>
<p>All UW Libraries branch libraries now have at least one scanner available for public use.  These new scanners were funded by STF funds.  Ours is attached to MRL&#8217;s sit-down PC in the center of our main floor.  Users must log into this PC with their UWNetID.</p>
<p>↔↔</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-info/"><img class="size-full wp-image-394 alignleft" title="msn-tutorials-banner" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/msn-tutorials-banner1.gif?w=460" alt=""   /></a>In response to requests from MathSciNet users and librarians, MathSciNet now offers <a href="http://www.mathscinet.info/">tutorials</a> on how to get the most out of searching. These tutorials treat each of the tabbed areas of MathSciNet&#8212;Publications, Authors, Journals, and Citations&#8212;as well as Free Tools and Preferences. The tutorials help users to take advantage of the rich structure of the databases underlying MathSciNet&#8211;most will find a feature or search of use that they have not previously used.</p>

<h2>Sharing Ideas, Expanding Knowledge:<br />
Open Access as a Scholarly Publishing Alternative</h2>
<p>This exhibit marks International Open Access Week and is displayed in the Allen Library, North Lobby, Oct. 10-31, 2011.</p>
<p>Scholarly publishing is in a state of flux. While the book and journal remain the primary vehicles for communicating published scholarship, how their content is reviewed, packaged, paid for, distributed, discovered, accessed, and preserved has changed over the last few years and continues to change rapidly. Many traditions of scholarly publishing remain, but new options, driven by new technologies and changing economic models, are now available and are becoming increasingly accepted in the scholarly community.</p>
<p>We invite you to explore some of those options in <a title="UW Libraries Open Access Week" href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/scholpub/actions/oaweek-2011" target="_blank">this exhibi</a>t. We hope this content is informative, that it answers some questions while raising others, and that it brings to light some of the problems that the academic community faces in the current scholarly publishing environment.</p>
<p>↔↔</p>
<h2>UW Libraries Research Commons</h2>
<p>The <a href="http://commons.lib.washington.edu/" target="_blank">UW Libraries Research Commons</a>, located on the ground floor of the Allen Library South, has many spaces available for students and faculty to support group research, presentations, seminars, and colloquia.   The Research Commons opened a little less than one year ago, and is designed as an evolving, flexible space that fosters interdisciplinary conversation and provides research support via the Libraries and campus partnerships.</p>
<p>Check for events of interest: <a href="http://commons.lib.washington.edu/news-events" target="_blank">http://commons.lib.washington.edu/news-events</a></p>
<p><strong>Graduate Student Workshops</strong>: In partnership with the Graduate School, the Libraries is kicking off a new year of graduate student workshops in the Research Commons.</p>
<p><strong>Drop-in Writing Consultations</strong>: The Odegaard Writing and Research Center is now offering morning drop-in consultations in the Research Commons &#8212; for graduate students only &#8212; twice a week. Tutors staffing these consulting hours are experienced in supporting graduate level research and writing for a wide range of academic and professional purposes.  Autumn Quarter: Mondays and Thursdays 10:30am-noon. No reservations required. First-come, first served.</p>
<p><strong>New Collaboration Screens</strong>: Student Technology Fee funds enabled us to add large screens, which can be used with your laptop:  <a href="http://commons.lib.washington.edu/resources" target="_blank">http://commons.lib.washington.edu/resources</a></p>
<p><strong>New Presentation Spaces</strong>: The Research Commons has undergone a few changes based on user feedback to better support large group research work and presentations.  We’ve added a new room, Green A, that seats up to 25 people:  <a href="http://commons.lib.washington.edu/resources/green-a/green-a" target="_blank">http://commons.lib.washington.edu/resources/green-a/green-a</a> .</p>
<p><strong>Whiteboard Capture:</strong>  The Research Commons features whiteboard surface tables, mobile whiteboards, whiteboard walls and dry-erase markers for checkout.  We also have an EBeam Edge interactive whiteboard system that can be checked out and used within the Research Commons to turn any whiteboard surface into a digital and interactive copyboard.  Use the EBeam to create a video or image capture of a presentation, brainstorming session, or TA consultation in the Research Commons.</p>
<p>Interested in seeing your students’ work displayed in the space for a poster session or longer-term exhibit?  Contact <a href="mailto:uwlibrc@uw.edu" target="_blank">uwlibrc@uw.edu</a>.</p>

<h4><strong>UC  and Springer e-Book Usage Survey of Interest</strong></h4>
<p>A new report, <a href="http://www.cdlib.org/services/uxdesign/docs/2011/academic_ebook_usage_survey.pdf" target="_blank"><strong><em>UC Libraries Academic e-Book Usage Survey</em></strong></a><em>, </em>presents the results of a 2010 survey of 2,569 University of California faculty, staff, and students.  Topics covered include University of California reader preference for e-books vs. print books, valued e-book features, and an assessment of  reader experiences with Springer e-books during 2009 and 2010.  The Executive Summary may be of interest and is on p. 4.</p>

<h4><strong>Martha Takes Summer Leave</strong></h4>
<p>Math librarian, Martha Tucker, will be away from the library this summer, July 1 to September 23.  Linda Whang, UW Libraries&#8217; computer science librarian, will work 20 hours/week as Acting Head of Math Research during that time.  Linda can help you with all your reference questions, purchase suggestions AND computer science!  You may contact Linda at our usual email address, <a href="https://catalysttools.washington.edu/umail/form/mathlib/3238" target="_blank">mathlib@uw.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Saundra Martin and our two students, Jennifer and Michael, will also be here to help you as usual.  Martha will return on Sept. 26.</p>
<p>UW Libraries materials and student helper budgets are looking better for the coming biennium.  Other areas of the Libraries&#8217; budget will be affected by this biennium&#8217;s cuts, but layoffs are not anticipated.  The branch library structure looks to be stable.</p>
<p>Enjoy your summer!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Departmental Delivery</h2>
<p>UW <strong>faculty and staff</strong> can now request that  library materials be sent directly to their departmental mailboxes.  All material  that can be checked out , except items  on reserve,  will be requestable.  The Libraries will pull material from the shelves, check it out to you and send it to  departments  via campus mail.  Requests for departmental delivery can be made through the library catalog by selecting  “<strong>Send to Fac Staff UW Mailbox</strong>” as the pickup location.  Material that is on the shelf should arrive within 1-2 days not counting weekends.  Summit and Interlibrary Loan material can also be sent to departmental mailboxes, delivery times will be longer.  If material cannot be sent, requesters will be notified by email.  Material can be returned through the campus mail or dropped off at any UW library unit.</p>
<p>Items must be sent to a valid campus box number. Check your campus box number in <a href="http://catalog.lib.washington.edu/screens/Linkuwnetid.html"> your library account</a>. If the address is not correct you will need to change your address by accessing the <a href="https://prp.admin.washington.edu/ess/uwnetid/home.aspx">Employee Self-Service</a> web site. It may take a week or so for our information to be updated.</p>
<p>More information is at:  <a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/services/deptdel.html">http://www.lib.washington.edu/services/deptdel.html</a>.</p>

<h2>ArXiv No Longer Free to Libraries</h2>
<p>Cornell University Libraries can no longer support the arXiv alone.  Last year they asked high using institutions  to donate to help fund the operations of arXiv.  UW ranked 48th in use in 2009 with nearly 34,000 downloads.  UW Libraries  contributed $3600 to their support in 2010 and continued at the same level in 2011.</p>
<p>It would be helpful to learn more about UW math and stat use of the arXiv.  Please take this very short three question survey:  <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NDHCMD9" target="_blank">UW Math/Stat Use ArXiv</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>↔</p>
<h2>From Dissertation to Book</h2>
<p>Many graduate students starting their dissertations or on the verge of completing them imagine turning them into their first book but are unsure of what may be involved, or even how to begin. Join UW Press editors Lorri Hagman and Jacqueline Ettinger for an overview of academic book publishing and a discussion of such topics as how successful books differ from dissertations; what presses do, how editors work with authors, and what they expect of them; how to identify and approach an academic press; and emerging topics like e-books and open access. The presentation is targeted at UW graduate students, but other interested members of the UW community are welcome.</p>

<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Faculty Fund for Library Excellence</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The UW Faculty Senate has unanimously approved a  resolution establishing the Faculty Fund for Library Excellence.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Passed by the senate on March 10 and established  March 25, the donation fund could help compensate for budget losses at the UW  Libraries, and return the Libraries to their previous ranking.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The Faculty Council on University Libraries  kicked off the fund with a $2,700 donation. Joyce Cooper, an associate professor  of mechanical engineering and chair of the council, said donation goals will be  discussed during the council meeting on April 6.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Thanks go to the voting members of the Faculty Council on University Libraries for this show of support for the Libraries:</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;">According to the UW Libraries Triennial Survey,  faculty members rate University Libraries the most important source of  information for their work. From 1980 onward, the UW had been in the top 15  percent of American and Canadian research libraries, according to data from the  Association of Research Libraries. Now, though, because of budget cutbacks, it’s  in the top 25 percent.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Donations will be used to buy and preserve books,  journals and other materials for libraries on all three UW campuses: Seattle,  Tacoma and Bothell.</span></p>

<h3><a href="http://www.washington.edu/news/articles/uw-libraries-to-participate-in-statewide-snapshot-day-april-12"><span style="color:#000000;">UW Libraries to participate in statewide Snapshot Day April 12 </span></a></h3>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Tuesday, April 12, Libraries staff and students will wield cameras, solicit comments, and gather statistics for a 24-hour period to illustrate the value of libraries through stories, photographs and statistics. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Libraries Snapshot Day is a nation-wide effort sponsored by the American Library Association to illustrate the importance of libraries and to show the vast range of services and resources we provide to the campus, community and state. The goal is to create a one-day &#8220;snapshot&#8221; of what goes on in libraries by collecting user quotes, images, photos, and data related to library activity.  We want to illustrate the kinds of services offered by the UW Libraries, and most importantly, the value these services add to teaching, research, and scholarship.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The information gathered will become part of a historic archive in the UW Libraries. Selected photos will be featured in our public Snapshot webpage and may be used in future library promotional material. This event is being conducted in all UW Libraries on all campuses.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Send us any comments you might have about Mathematics Research Library or the UW Libraries in general. The webpage below has links to tools you can use to send any comments or photos you want to share.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Giving to the Libraries</h2>
<p>Faculty frequently offer their collection of books and journals to the UW Libraries. While Math Research is eager to accept dry, clean copies of mathematics and statistics items that we need, in most cases we cannot accept duplicates of what we already have. Please email us a list of items you think we might need with author-title-year of publication info and we will check our holdings. Donations of new research-level books are especially helpful to our budget if given in time.</p>
<p>For items of broader interest than research level mathematics and statistics, contact the <a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/Gifts">UW Libraries&#8217; Gift Program.</a></p>
<p>Here are some other ideas of ways to use your personal collections to benefit the academic community here or abroad.</p>
<h3>Donate:</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ams.org/programs/donations/donations" target="_blank">AMS Book &amp; Journal Donation Program</a> tries to match donors and third-world institutions in need.  You give them a list which they post.  Should there be a match, the AMS will pay for the shipping costs. Check their web site for more details.</li>
<li>Give them away to students.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Sell them:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sell clean copies of used books to bookstores (<a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/Math/donation.html">UW Bookstore</a>, <a href="http://www.powells.com/info/buying.html">Powells.com</a>, or other used book buyers).</li>
<li>Organize an annual mathematical sciences used book sale.</li>
<li>Donate the proceeds to our new <a href="https://www.washington.edu/giving/make-a-gift">Math Library Fund</a>!</li>
</ul>
<p>↔</p>
<h2>HOW DO I?</h2>
<p>The Libraries has put together a <a href="http://guides.lib.washington.edu/howdoi" target="_blank">HOW DO I?</a> web page full of handy hints for UW researchers.  Here&#8217;s one that might be useful to you:</p>
<h4><a href="http://guides.lib.washington.edu/content.php?pid=55083&amp;sid=428101" target="_blank">How do I use Google Scholar to search for UW materials?</a></h4>
<p>You&#8217;ll be able to view a short video or read the transcript for hints on searching <a href="http://scholar.google.com" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a> for full text articles available to you through the UW Libraries.</p>
<p>↔</p>
<h2>Temporary Free Journal Access</h2>
<p>Springer is allowing free access during December to some journals we don&#8217;t usually have access to:</p>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/0253-4827">Applied Mathematics and  Mechanics</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1072-3374">Journal of Mathematical  Sciences</a></li>
<li><a href="http://springerlink.com/content/1862-4472">Optimization Letters</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1661-7738">Journal of Fixed Point  Theory and its Applications</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1661-8254">Complex Analysis and  Operator Theory</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1661-8270">Mathematics in Computer  Science</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1575-5460">Qualitative Theory of  Dynamical Systems</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1661-8297">Logica Universalis</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1862-9679">Mathematics and Financial  Economics</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1867-2949">Mathematical Programming  Computation</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/1991-0061">Functional Analysis and  other Mathematics</a></li>
<p>You may want to browse these journals for papers you can&#8217;t usually access.</p>
<p>↔</p>
<p>As the quarter ends, we wish you all healthy, happy holidays!</p>
<p>Martha, Saundra, Jennifer, Michael and Kinji.</p>

<blockquote><p>Abstract: We investigate the journal impact factor, focusing on the applied mathematics category. We demonstrate that significant manipulation of the impact factor is being carried out by the editors of some journals and that the impact factor gives a very inaccurate view of journal quality, which is poorly correlated with expert opinion.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the UW Libraries and Mathematics Research Library.  We are here to help you with your learning and research needs.</p>
<p>Math Research has a collection of books, ebooks, journals&#8211;both online (current vols. and backfiles)  and paper, and databases devoted to upper level pure and applied mathematics and statistics.  We&#8217;ve created 2 new subject guides to help you navigate the maze of university level materials:</p>
<p><a href="http://guides.lib.washington.edu/math">Mathematics and Applied Mathematics</a><br />
<a href="http://guides.lib.washington.edu/stat">Statistics</a></p>
<p>Also check our <a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/math/">unit webpage</a> for links to the UW Libraries Catalog, our hours, location, contact information, our weekly new books and journal listings, and a wealth of other handy links pertaining to mathematics and statistics research.</p>
<p>Note that all of our online resources can be used remotely by UW students, staff, and faculty.  Just look for this button:  <a href="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/proxy-locked.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-213" title="proxy-locked" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/proxy-locked.gif?w=460" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p>in the upper right corner of most UW Libraries&#8217; pages, click and sign in with your UWNetID and password.  You will also want to read about our handy <a href="//offcampus.lib.washington.edu/login?url=%22+location.href)">UW Libraries Proxy Bookmarklet</a> that makes it even easier to sign into any UW Libraries licensed online resource.</p>
<p>Reserve materials for upper level (400+) math and stat classes are shelved on the counter-height shelving near the stairs on our main floor.  Reserve books may be checked out for 4 or 24 hours.</p>
<p>Our hours are Monday-Thursday, 9AM-6PM and Sunday, 1PM-5PM.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Statsnetbase Ebook Trial</h2>
<p>Our subscription to the Statsnetbase collection of CRC/Taylor &amp; Francis ebooks ended in March.   However, there is more purchase flexibility now so we are now considering selective purchase of past, present and future titles.  While the collection does not include textbooks, it does offer high-level titles of use to statisticians and researchers from a wide range of disciplines.    Please review their titles and content and try out the search interface at <a href="http://www.statsnetbase.com/">http://www.statsnetbase.com</a>.  Send your comments to <a href="mailto:mathlib@uw.edu" target="_blank">mathlib [at] uw.edu</a>.  The trial runs until November 13, 2010.</p>
<h2>Ebooks Advisory Survey</h2>
<p>Math Research Library has provided you with 2 ebooks packages, <em><strong>Springer Math/Stat Ebooks</strong></em> and <em><strong>Statsnetbase</strong></em>, for the last few years.  We are at the point where we need to decide how to proceed.  I&#8217;ve posted a two question advisory survey intended to gather your opinion and comments about ebooks in this academic library.   <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MD7YQXS" target="_blank">Please click here to take the short survey</a>.  This survey will be open through the end of the quarter.</p>
<h2>Summer Tips from the Libraries</h2>
<p>See answers to frequently asked questions at the Libraries, <a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/about/summerTips.html" target="_blank">http://www.lib.washington.edu/about/summerTips.html</a></p>
<h2>WorldWideScience.org</h2>
<p>You can now find non-English scientific literature from databases in China, Russia, France, and several Latin American countries and have your search results translated into one of nine languages. With the beta launch in June, real-time searching and translation of globally-dispersed collections of scientific literature is possible. This new capability is the result of an international public-private partnership between the WorldWideScience.org Alliance and Microsoft Research, whose translation technology has been paired with the federated searching technology of Deep Web Technologies.</p>
<p><a href="http://worldwidescience.org/">WorldWideScience.org</a> now provides federated searching of  national scientific databases in 65  countries, covering some 400 million pages of science. In addition to other  WorldWideScience Alliance members, key partner organizations taking part in the  ceremony included the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Ministry of  Science and Technology (Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of  China), and ICSTI.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/ra2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-143 aligncenter" title="ra" src="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/ra2.jpg?w=234&#038;h=118" alt="" width="234" height="118" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://uwmathlib.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/ra2.jpg"></a>Now in its 7th year, the University of Washington Libraries Undergraduate Research Awards program enables students to submit research papers to a faculty/librarian review panel for the opportunity to win $1,000 for winning papers, and $100 for honorable mentions. Any paper or project done in a one credit or more class is eligible. Entries will be grouped in three categories:  Senior Thesis/Honors Thesis, Senior Non-Thesis, and Non-Senior.  Encourage your students to enter!</p>
<p>Interest in the UW Libraries Undergraduate Awards has grown since its inception. Faculty members have encouraged their best students to enter, providing a wide range of entries.  Basia Belza, UW Professor of Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Systems observed: “There is a phenomenal amount of stellar work that is crafted by our students and they each deserve recognition.” Winning an award can bolster a student’s resume, giving him or her an advantage when applying for a job or graduate school.</p>
<p>This innovative program has grown so much that other universities have begun to take notice, making inquiries to the UW Libraries in order to start their own undergraduate awards competitions.</p>
<p>The Friends of the UW Libraries and the Allen Foundation have once again generously furnished the funding for the 2010 University of Washington Libraries Research Awards for Undergraduates.</p>

<h3>Faculty Evaluators Needed for<br />
Undergraduate Research Award Selection</h3>
<div>
<p>Selection of the award recipients is determined by specific criteria with  particular emphasis placed on the reflective essay and is undertaken by a  combination of librarian and faculty evaluators.  Projects have already been  submitted for grading, and so this award recognizes the research process.  The  committee has benefited greatly from the insightful work of faculty evaluators  in the past.  Please read what previous faculty evaluators have said about the  process:  <a href="http://www.lib.washington.edu/researchaward/FacultyRecruitmentFlyer2010.pdf">http://www.lib.washington.edu/researchaward/FacultyRecruitmentFlyer2010.pdf</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the calendar of important  dates for faculty evaluators in 2009&#8211;2010.  Please note that participation in  the committee involves only two meetings (in bold) and that all of the reading  and evaluating will take place between May 18 to June 2.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>•<strong> Monday, May 3, 2010: Evaluators lunch in  the Petersen Room, Allen Library</strong></p>
<p>• Monday, May 17, 2010 @ 5pm:  Deadline for applications</p>
<p>• Tuesday, May 18 &#8211; Tuesday, May 24, 2010:  First round of reading applications</p>
<p>• Wednesday, May 25 &#8211; Wednesday, June  2, 2010: Second round of reading applications (May 31 is Memorial  Day)</p>
<p>• <strong>Thursday, June 3,  2010: Noontime meeting to select winners</strong></p>
<p>• Tuesday, June 8, 2010,  12:30pm: Reception in the Petersen Room, Allen Library</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Please let me know  if you have questions.  We appreciate your willingness to consider participating  in the Research Award!  We understand if timing prevents you from participating  this year, but please, feel free to suggest a colleague for me to contact who  may be able to participate.  Contact Martha at <a href="mailto:mathlib@uw.edu">mathlib@uw.edu</a> if interested in helping to evaluate applicants&#8217; papers.</p>
