RSS NEWS
December 2, 2010 -- The number of local and regional newspapers and independent media outlets are shrinking. At the same time, there is a rise in new, Web-based journalism and news sites. Many of these sites include hyperlocal community news, blog aggregators, social media and user generated reporting. Will these new forms of community news have value in the future? Should libraries and archives preserve them much like newspapers and other traditional news sources?
The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program organized a two-day workshop, November 3-4, 2010 in Washington, DC, to discuss these issues. The meeting brought together 45 researchers, bloggers, journalists, academics and archivists to address selection and preservation issues concerning community, hyperlocal and citizen journalism and aggregators of news. The meeting built upon discussions at last year’s Preserving Digital News meeting. http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/news/2010/20101202news_article_citizen_journalism_mtg.html Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Digital Preservation De RSS: Library of Congress: Digital Preservatio

A Trip to the Alhambra through Washington Irvings Words RSS NEWS
Thousands of pre-1923 books from the Library of Congress collections are freely available in digital format through direct links from the Librarys online catalog. Among the books are dozens of 19th- century travel narratives by North Americans describing their grand tours and family holidays to Spain and Portugal. Delighted by the castles, vineyards, and olive orchards, these travelers captured the sights and sounds of life on the Iberian Peninsula in their diaries and travelogues. They sprinkled their writings with descriptions of meals and conversations, museums and parks, city visits and countryside jaunts.
One of the visitors captivated by Spains charms and beauty was the American writer Washington Irving, perhaps best known for his eerie short stories, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." While in Granada, Spain, researching a history of the conquest, Irving had the remarkable good fortune to live within the then-abandoned 14th-century Moorish palace and fortress, the Alhambra, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While there, he wrote a series of essays and stories which he published in 1832 under the title, "Tales of the Alhambra: A Series of Tales and Sketches of the Moors and Spaniards." Several editions of Irvings work may be read online, including the author’s revised edition with illustrations, published in 1871 by the J.B. Lippincott Co. (Copy and paste this URL to link to the book’s Library of Congress catalog record: <http://lccn.loc.gov/03027793>.) For many in North America, "Tales of the Alhambra" was an enticing introduction to the customs, language, and history of Spain.
Reference librarians in the Hispanic Reading Room can help you find more information about Iberian history and contemporary Spain and Portugal. The Hispanic Reading Room is a center for the study of cultures and societies of the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America, and the Caribbean, and other areas where Spanish and Portuguese influence has been significant. The reading room is located on the second floor of the Jefferson Bldg, LJ-240 and is open M-F, 8:30am to 5:00 pm. Find us online at http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic.

August 20, 2009 -- When you take a digital photo, the camera immediately records information about the aperture setting, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode and more. Some cameras have a global positioning system that adds information about where the photo was taken.
But David Riecks (rhymes with "clicks") – professional photographer, digital-image technologist and metadata evangelist – believes that a digital photo should contain more information about itself.

February 6, 2009 -- Early one recent evening, eight-year-old Colleen A. eagerly climbed onto the desk chair at the family computer, grabbed the mouse and settled in. It was time for her to visit her favorite kid-friendly online world.
After logging on, she selected an animated cat named Princess as her avatar (a digital representation of her) and within minutes she found some avatar friends and they dashed off together into the vast virtual world to play.
Millions of people immerse themselves daily in games and virtual worlds and gaming is fixed in our culture. But only recently have cultural institutions begun attempts to document and preserve games. It is a thorny problem, even for those with substantial experience archiving other varieties of digital content.

The maps shared a common feature: geospatial technology analyzing a range of geographic-based coordinates and data. The technology has evolved over the last three decades from specialized academic obscurity to the ultimate form of public acceptance: it is now just another information-age appliance running discreetly in the background and taken for granted in a Google world.

RSS NEWS
The Hispanic Division has updated the Web site on Hispanic Americans in Congress to include five new members of the 112th Congress. The number of Hispanics serving in Congress today is at an all- time high, and all signs suggest the rate will continue to grow. For a historical list of all Hispanic members of Congress in chronological order, see <http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/congress/chron.html>. Two states have elected their first Hispanic members of Congress in history -- Raúl Labrador is representing the 1st district of Idaho and Jaime Herrera Beutler represents the 3rd district of Washington State. To date, twelve US states, along with Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, have elected Hispanics to serve in the US Congress. For a complete list of all Hispanic members of Congress by geographic location, see <http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/congress/geog.html>.
Please note that this Web site is the reflection of a book that was published by the Government Printing Office in 1995; therefore, links to members who were elected after that date will take you directly to their official Congressional Web sites. http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/congress/ Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Hispanic Division News and Events De RSS: Hispanic Division News and Events

RSS NEWS
This loss of ice in areas of the World such as Antarctica and Greenland is causing an increasing rate of sea-level rise, making it critically important to provide accurate predictive models as a basis for policymakers and citizens to take action. The challenges to science are great, and a more detailed understanding of ice-sheet dynamics is urgently needed. In an illustrated lecture, the fourth in a series of programs in 2011 presented through a partnership between the Science, Technology and Business Division of the Library of Congress, and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, scientist Robert Bindschadler presents his theories as to why this is occurring. http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=5239 Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

New LC Science Tracer Bullet: Plant Exploration and Introduction
RSS NEWS
Plant exploration and introduction is one of the oldest activities of mankind. Since the dawn of civilization, individuals have gathered new and useful plants from far away places. Today, plant hunters scour the rain forest, desert, mountain, and the tundra for plants that might contain a chemical to fight a fatal disease or be used to create a new product. Because genetic diversity is key to maintaining and improving agriculture, todays botanists collect seeds to preserve an endangered species, to improve an existing food plant, or to develop a disease-resistant variety. As wilderness and rainforest habitats are eliminated, plants and diversity disappear, and the role of the plant hunter becomes more critical. This compilation supersedes TB 83-5 and is intended for those who wish to learn something about the history of plant exploration and introduction through a review of the literature available in the collections of the Library of Congress. http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/plantexploration.html Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

New Webcast: Chicago Victory Gardens- Yesterday and Tomorrow
RSS NEWS
LaManda Joy is an award-winning gardener, blogger and founder of Chicagos Peterson Garden Project discusses Chicago Victory Gardens.
During World War II, Chicago led the nation in urban food production with its Victory Gardens program of 1,500 community gardens and more than 250,000 home gardens. The citys North Park neighborhood was also home to the largest Victory Garden in the United States. In fact, the Victory Gardens campaign in Chicago was so successful that it was emulated across the country. Seventy years later, Chicago continues this tradition with an estimated 700 community gardens. In 2010, LaManda Joy launched the Peterson Garden Project, on land that was part of an original World War II Victory Garden from 1942-1945. The Peterson Garden is Chicagos largest community-allotment vegetable garden, with 157 plots tended by community members growing only organic vegetables. Volunteers and students also tend several garden plots and donate their produce to local food pantries and homeless shelters. http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=5196 Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

New Science Reference Guide: Health Effects of Obesity RSS NEWS
A person is considered obese if the body mass index, which is based on height and weight, is 30 or greater (40 or greater is morbidly obese; 25-29 signifies overweight). More than one third of U.S. adults and 16% of U.S. children are obese. Being obese, whether by genetic factors, metabolism, hormonal imbalances or changes (e.g., menopause), body type (most likely endomorph), medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism or Cushings disease, side effects of medication, smoking cessation, or poor lifestyle habits, can lead to early mortality. Obesity can contribute to a multitude of health effects

RSS NEWS
Olfaction - the sense of smell - is a form of chemoreception, the biological recognition of chemical stimuli, by which living organisms collect information about their environments. The importance of the sense varies in different types of animals – in most mammals it is quite well developed among those that are either predator or prey and is highly developed in those that depend on smell to find food. Dogs are famous for their excellent sense of smell which is approximately a thousand times more sensitive than that of a human.
How the brain perceives a particular chemical is both a physiological and a psychological phenomenon. The sensory cells in the nose convert chemical signals into electrical signals and the brain recognizes and interprets these signals as pleasurable or repellant or something in between, and these may then result in emotions or memories.
This guide is a review of the literature and vetted online resources on the subject of smell. http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/smelltb.html Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

RSS NEWS
There have been reports of raining frogs and fish dating back to ancient civilization. Of course, it doesnt "rain" frogs or fish in the sense that it rains water - no one has ever seen frogs or fish vaporize into the air before a rainfall. However, strong winds, such as those in a tornado or hurricane, are powerful enough to lift animals, people, trees, and houses. It is possible that they could suck up a school of fish or frogs and "rain" them elsewhere. http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/rainingfrogs.html Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

New Web cast: Astrobiology - Life in Space
RSS NEWS
Daniel P. Glavin, an astrobiologist at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center, says the possibility of extraterrestrial life in our solar system is not limited to Mars; other "habitable" worlds might exist including the icy Moons of Jupiter and Saturn, known as Europa and Enceladus. The challenge for scientists and engineers in the next couple of decades, he says, will be to design miniaturized instruments and technologies capable of detecting the signatures of life in our own solar system and beyond. Glavin, who is currently involved in the analysis of organic compounds in meteorites and in the search for extraterrestrial life, presented "Astrobiology: Are We Alone?" In his talk, Glavin described the concept of a "habitable environment" and the conditions on Earth that led to the origin of life. Understanding the basic requirements for life and the prebiotic chemistry that led to the emergence of life on Earth will help guide the search for life beyond Earth. He also gave an overview of the Mars Exploration Program and future plans for sending instrumentation to Mars to explore habitable environments. http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=4592 Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

RSS NEWS During the past seven years, James M. Clark has been part of a team that found the bones of small dinosaurs mired in mud, stacked one on top of another, in the northern part of Xinjiang, China, near the ancient Silk Road. Clark, who is the Ronald Weintraub Professor of Biology at George Washington University, says a spectacular bestiary of dinosaurs and their contemporaries lies buried in the Gobi Desert of China and Mongolia. The desert, according to Clark, has grudgingly yielded their bones to paleontological expeditions that can endure its rugged terrain, harsh sandstorms and flash floods.
In his lecture, Clark showed images of his work in the Gobi and discuss the discoveries made by his expeditions and by others. Many of the discoveries provide critical support for the hypothesis that birds evolved from dinosaurs, and he will discuss this controversial theory. http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=4623 Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

Science matters. Almost no one disagrees. Agreement on how science is taught, the curriculum designed, the method used, and the measure of literacy achieved is quite another matter. Almost everyone has an opinion or suggestion. This compilation provides references and resources that highlight methods, curricula, standards, and strategies that promote learning in the nation’s elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Many of the books and resources list activities and projects designed to engage and capture the imagination of the K-12 student. Some provide incentives and novel ideas for science teachers, methods of integrating standards into the classroom, or new ways of making connections between mathematics and science, looking at physics, or exploring the environment. Other materials seek to inspire and enthuse both teacher and student, to encourage further study and/or careers in the sciences, or to advance science literacy through the school into the community. http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/sciedtb.html Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

In the illustrated lecture, Guinan will discuss how the young suns high-energy emissions played a major role in the loss of all water on Venus and much of Mars original atmosphere, and how the Earth survived the early ravages of the young sun.
In addition, Guinan will address the effects of the suns magnetic-generated energy on the Earths climate, possibly playing a major role in the "Little Ice Age" from 1500 to 1850, a time when the sun had low levels of magnetic activity and the Earth had a cooler climate. He will also discuss the role the sun may have played in global warming over the past 150 years.
The lecture will conclude with a discussion of the suns future and how the suns ever-increasing luminosity affects the Earths long-term climate and its habitability.

There are two main populations of monarch butterflies in North America; one in the East and one in the West--new evidence shows that these populations may intermix. Every fall, the monarch begins its migration south to an overwintering site. In the spring the monarch leaves its winter roost and heads northward, about half way back, to lay its eggs on milkweed plants. The offspring of this monarch must continue the journey north on its own. In the fall, this new generation will begin the migration cycle south.

RSS NEWS Before the development of modern science, and for most of human existence, time was perceived as a circle or spiral; a cyclical pattern of renewal and rebirth. More familiar to us now is the Western tradition of linear time, a forward moving direction, a flow that represents a line between the past and the future implicit with the idea of progress. As the discoveries of evolution have come to underpin most of modern science so the "arrow of time" has become a given in our collective consciousness.
You cantt see it or smell or taste it or hear it, yet it is of the physical world. We witness evidence of time all around in death and decay. Yet perception of time is largely a human phenomenon and certainly we are the only creatures who measure it, apply tools to it, and create tools to use it. Time is an aspect of the natural world and the characteristics of physical time are determined by the processes of the physical world. It is the essence of cosmology, astronomy, and physics but is equally important in the disciplines of biology and geology. Certainly it is critical to modern technology. The precision of its measurement drives our daily lives.
As Tolkien wrote in The Hobbit, it is "This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town And beats high mountain down." From Newtonian to Einsteinian physics and quantum mechanics to thermodynamics and satellite communications, time is of the essence to virtually all scientific disciplines. This bibliographic guide attempts to present a selection of works across the sciences, and is not intended as a comprehensive bibliography, but is designed -- as the name Tracer Bullet implies -- to put the reader "on target." http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/timetb.html Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Library of Congress: Whats New in Science Reference De RSS: Library of Congress: Whats New in Scienc

Interdisciplinary in nature, the history of food is a subject well suited to research using the Library’s extensive collections of cookery books, scholarly works, and bibliographies on food history. Researchers also often consult additional sources and primary materials including wartime food manuals, serials of all types, travelers’ memoirs, letters and diaries, advertising, exposition guides, and manufacturers’ pamphlets.
This guide, a revision of Library of Congress Science Tracer Bullet 04-1, focuses on works on food history. The intent is to assist researchers in identifying resources and trends in food history studies, through a broad sampling of writings and bibliographies. Rather than being a comprehensive listing, the titles listed here are intended to give an idea of the breadth of information available, with the focus being on works published in English, during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and mainly in the United States, though other time periods and areas have occasionally been included.

RSS NEWS
Today the Hispanic Division commemorates the 112th birthday of the Argentinean writer, poet, and translator, Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). Rooted in the metaphysical and the fantastic, Borges is considered one of the most brilliant and polemic writers of the twentieth century. The Hispanic Division recorded the author both on audio and video for the Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape (AHLOT) (http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/archive.html) first in 1958, and later in 1976 and 1984. The AHLOT is available to the public in the Hispanic Reading Room of the Library of Congress, Thomas Jefferson Building, 101 Independence Ave., SE, Washington, DC. For more information on the Argentine writer, search the LOC Catalog for over 1000 books by or about Borges (http://catalog.loc.gov), and the Handbook of Latin American Studies for hundreds of descriptions of his works (hlasopac.loc.gov). http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3c15115/ Recolectado en: Pertenece a: Hispanic Division News and Events De RSS: Hispanic Division News and Events
