From ACM Computing Reviews:

“Open source is providing us with more than just free software; it is changing the ways in which we think, use, and develop software today.
ACM Computing Reviews is pleased to announce the release of its new Hot Topic, “Open Source: The Dark Horse of Software.” To read our latest
Hot Topic, click here: http://www.reviews.com/hottopic/hottopic_essay_09.cfm

“Written by Phillip A. Laplante of Penn State, Great Valley, this Hot Topic focuses on lines of research that have emerged because of the development and use of open-source software. With more than 200,000 open-source projects underway, this type of software offers worldwide economic value, particularly to those without large budgets. Unlike commercial software, open source is developed by large numbers of individuals who contribute via open-source communities. This makes its development an evolutionary and organic process, and creates software that is inherently more responsive to the user community. Laplante
views open source as a persistent force in today’s technology landscap eand clarifies its unique characteristics in the Hot Topic essay.

“Hot Topics include links to related web pages, articles, and books, and are updated on a regular basis. Computing Reviews is a collaboration between Reviews.com and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and can be read daily at www.reviews.com.”

Hey faculty and staff members: Fall semester will be here before you know it. As you’re putting the final touches on your syllabi and course plans, don’t forget about information instruction from the library. We have a number of great ways to help your students become better information searchers and users.

• Live Instruction Sessions: Have a librarian demonstrate for your courses the library resources and skills they will need to be successful in completing their assignments. To sign-up, visit http://www.sc.edu/library/pubserv/libinstruct.html
• LibGuides: Don’t have enough class sessions to come to the library? Work with a librarian to create a LibGuide specifically tailored for your course and their assignments. LibGuides are flexible and dynamic and can be easily linked to through course websites and BlackBoard. LibGuides can also be revised and easily reposted when you teach a course in later semesters.
• Individualized Library Assistance: We can work together to create customized instruction and help for your students based on their needs and your course requirements.

So as your gearing up for fall, please feel free to call or email me. We’re from the library, and we’re here to help.
