ValauskasBill Vaccaro APPLE LIBRARY USERS GROUP CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Dedicated to James Marshall Hendricks (1942-1970) for demonstrating that time respects genius. We'll meet you in another place so don't be late. x Introduction The Death of the Library Workstation Edward J. Valauskas 1 New Horizons in Library Training: Using HyperCard for Computer-Based Staff Training Pauline S. Bayne &Joe C Rader Developing a computer-based training program for library staff requires a balance between technicalities and oversimplification. At the University of Tennessee Libraries, HyperCard was used to create training for staff, successfully addressing these issues in serials control, automation, acquisitions, cataloging and reference. The program is portable to other libraries; experiments have been conducted at the University of Kentucky Libraries in using the application for training. Further analysis of customization at other institutions is forthcoming. ti Get a Closet! RonBerntson The network at Nutana Collegiate consists of 35 Macintoshes and file servers. Currently the network uses rarallon's PhoneNet, Apple's built-in AppleTalk, star controllers, network software and a software router to operate in Nutana. Twelve months after installation, flexibility bectme a major issue in meeting the needs for equipment for students and staff. A new design of the network, with additional cabling and t patch panels should make it easier to move equipment in the school to meet growing demands. 10 Current Periodicals: Subject Access the Mac Way Constance L Foster At Western Kentucky University, the Library uses a Macintosh to filter and edit information on current serials to produce a periodicals guide for faculty and students. This tool has proven useful in collections develo p ment, reference and serials control with in the Library. It also has provided the Library with a means to communicate to the academic community the extent of serials holdings in specific disciplines. Additionally, the Library has used the information within the guide to generate other lists of serials holdings for its patrons. ry 15 Projeet ilLUMINAte at the University of Minnesota Libraries Celia Hales-Mabry The University of Minnesota libraries are experimenting with a computer-assisted instruction program, based in HyperCard, to meet the growing demands of their student population. The program, called ilLUMItAte, has been tested in the autumn of 1991, and will befully implemented in 1992. Given the rapid rise in the number of undergraduates, and their lack of library skills, this application meets their needs and provides for a vehicle for the Library to maintain service in spite of losses in personnel and budget. 19 Pat: Got the Applt. Grant! Help!!! Pat Hunt j1.1 With Singing light, The Mendoci no Co u nty (CA) Libra ry created an interactive CD-ROM on Native American i life, culture, and history, using more than 300 photographs in combination with songs and local oral t,ifl histories. The project, using a variety of Macintosh hardware and software, provides access to heretofore unavailable materials on local culture, once buried in storage or memory.With a local group of volunteers, Singing Light succeeds in presenting a non-textual interface calculated to attract even the bibliophobic to its contents. 24 ATeaeher'sDream... A Stuclent's Niohtmare: The Minnesota State Test Item Bank on CD-ROM Keith Johnson MIDEBANK is a CD-ROM educational tool, that allows teachers to have access to some 45,000 standardized questions in a variety of disciplines. Developed by the Minnesota Department of Education, it gives instructors greater flexibility in designing tests, in their ability to edit and add questions. In conjunction with other Macintoshes and educational software, students and faculty enjoy a wealth of opportunities to use technology to their best possible advantage. 28 The Chemist's Crystal Ball Merri Beth Lavagnino & Kimberly Parker The Chemist's Crystal Ball at Ya le U niversity provides for chem istry faculty and students a single resource for specialized information within their discipline, access to electronic mail and traditional library services, and general campus information. Placing a variety of tools under one interface allows users the luxury of using applications without the trauma of learning specialized and arcane commands and procedures. Further work will allow the development of a customized version to meet the individual needs of users without generating a burden in staff time for software maintenance. 7 tiadntoted limn%I 33 Macintosh in a Supercomputer Library Mary Layman In the computer-rich environment of the San Diego Supercomputer Center, the Macintosh plays an important role in the Library in providing access to both traditional print materials as well as electronic media. The Library's catalog and specialized databases for computer graphics and archives are based in File Maker Pro. Electronic mail provides a means for the Library to communicate to its clientele, and to respond to their information needs. Future enhancements include a n electronic Library newsletter and the availability of Mac-based CD-ROM information. 37 The Library is Not a Place Shelley Lochhead & Lawrence Bickford History is best remembered by those who live it.At the Hopkinton High School in Contoocook (NH), eighth- grade students experience the lives of Irish immigrants in Ireland and Boston of the 1840s with an innovative program called Immigrant Students use technology to reconstruct the lives of immigrants on a personal level, by collecting information of historical importance locally with Macintosh Portables and scanners and making the results of their archival research available

  • File Naming Recommendations
    File Naming Recommendations In a mixed platform world of Macintosh, Windows, and Unix computers, you must pay attention to how you name your file. On PCs, you usually append a three-letter file extension after the file name to tell the computer what program to launch when it is double-clicked. Programs on the PC do this automatically, but the same programs running on the Mac often do not. Things to avoid: 1.) Don't add extraneous punctuation to the file name. For example, don't use #. %, forward or back slashes, ampersands, and question marks or any other strange glyph. Stick mostly to letters and numbers. Dashes and underscores are OK. Good: my_file.jpg Bad: my/file.jpg 2.) Don't put more than one period in the file name. Use only one period at the end of the file name just before the three-letter suffix. Good: very_big_splash.jpg Bad: very.big.splash.jpg 3.) Don't omit the 3-letter suffix. Add the correct 3-letter suffix to the file name if none is created by the application program. ALL web browsers require a suffix to be able to tell a picture file from a text file, for example. Good: promopic.gif Bad: promopic.newone Bad: promopic 4.) Avoid spaces in filenames. High-speed Unix-based web servers dislike having spaces in the file name. Your pages and files with spaces in the name may work on a Mac or PC server, but if you ever migrate the files to a Unix server, you're in trouble. Most web designers use underscores in the file name to separate words for clarity.

  • The Katz Outta the Bag: Bringing National Security Letters Into Compliance with the “Reasonable Expectation of Privacy” Test
    2017] 277 THE KATZ OUTTA THE BAG: BRINGING NATIONAL SECURITY LETTERS INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE “REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY” TEST Anees Mokhiber* The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (“ECPA”) equips the FBI with the power to issue National Security Letters (“NSLs”). The language of the ECPA, however, contemplates an era of electronic communication long since passed. Electronic communication has transformed rapidly with the evolution of computer technology. At present, the outdated form of the ECPA allows the FBI to utilize NSLs to retrieve information in a manner which runs afoul of Fourth Amendment privacy protections. Accordingly, this Comment proposes to amend the ECPA to account for the ongoing evolution of computer technology which powers the transmittal of electronic communications in the modern age. Additionally, this Comment calls for a commitment to legislative adaptability, to ensure that any statute governing electronic communications is up to date with its subject matter. The goal of these proposed amendments is to tighten the investigative scope of NSLs, and ensure the United States citizen of her reasonable expectation of privacy from unreasonable searches and seizures.

  • IM: F: Introduction to Files
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction to File Management 1 This chapter is a general introduction to file management on Macintosh computers. It explains the basic structure of Macintosh files and the hierarchical file system (HFS) used 1 with Macintosh computers, and it shows how you can use the services provided by the Introduction to File Management Standard File Package, the File Manager, the Finder, and other system software components to create, open, update, and close files. You should read this chapter if your application implements the commands typically found in an application’s File menu—except for printing commands and the Quit command, which are described elsewhere. This chapter describes how to ■ create a new file ■ open an existing file ■ close a file ■ save a document’s data in a file ■ save a document’s data in a file under a new name ■ revert to the last saved version of a file ■ create and read a preferences file Depending on the requirements of your application, you may be able to accomplish all your file-related operations by following the instructions given in this chapter. If your application has more specialized file management needs, you’ll need to read some or all of the remaining chapters in this book. This chapter assumes that your application is running in an environment in which the routines that accept file system specification records (defined by the FSSpec data type) are available. File system specification records, introduced in system software version 7.0, simplify the identification of objects in the file system. Your development environment may provide “glue” that allows you to call those routines in earlier system software versions.
