arXiv

Cornell University's arXiv project, which includes an e-print archive of scientific papers, is looking to covert the existing simple database to a more interactive one. It is being projected as a place where authors, articles, databases and readers talk to each other to help users identify a work's main concepts, see research reports in context and easily find related work. The project is funded by a three-year $883,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, with federal stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). New tools will link papers by concepts, not just by the citations they contain. This is expected to help users without advanced expertise understand the significance of new research. The system will also identify related databases and commentaries.

Attention Spring Physics course instructors!

Please send me a list of books you would like placed on reserve. If you are keeping the same books for spring that you used for fall, let me know. You can use the Online Reserve Request Form, send me an email, or put a note in my mailbox. If you are making a web page for your class, you can link your page to the class' reserve list after I put the books on reserve. There is no need to retype them. Just ask me if you have any questions.

ITeach

ITeach 2010, a faculty-development symposium, will be held on January 14, 2010, from 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Seigle Hall, on the Danforth Campus. The symposium includes a plenary discussion and 16 concurrent sessions. It is a great opportunity to gather with colleagues to discuss teaching and to learn about innovative and effective teaching strategies that have been developed here at Washington University. ITeach is coordinated by the Teaching and Technology Partnership (Arts & Sciences, The Teaching Center, and University Libraries). For more information and to register, please go to http://iteach.wustl.edu.  In addition, see the Fall newsletter at ITeach Newsletter - Fall 2009.
