Item Open Access Our Science, Our History: Hidden Treasures Online from the Nova Scotian Institute of Science(2012-05-23) Paon, MichelleDid you know that Nova Scotia mackerel were once described as “pouty and greedy”? Or that certain boulders in Nova Scotia survived a storm-tossed history? In January 2012, the Dalhousie Libraries officially launched the online Proceedings of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science, one of the country’s oldest scientific journals. The project makes available free of charge on the internet, the first 120 years of the publication. During that period, from 1863 to 1984, some 900 articles were published in the journal, representing the work of over 400 authors. The online Proceedings capture the excitement and dedication of natural historians and provide insights into biological and geological discoveries of early scientists in Nova Scotia. The articles can provide primary source material for students and researchers and will appeal to those who enjoy Nova Scotia history.Item Open Access “One and One are Sometimes Eleven”: Local Source Partners and Technologies in the Killam Learning Commons(2013-05-16) Paon, Michelle; Comeau, MarcEleven stakeholders currently share space in Dalhousie University’s Killam Library Learning Commons, with services ranging from research assistance and the IT help desk to tutoring, GIS & data services. Although some partnerships already exist between service providers, the future challenge lies in finding new and effective ways for these partners to collaborate among themselves. There is also an opportunity to incorporate new technologies to enhance the student learning experience and help increase retention. With that in mind, recent initiatives have been undertaken to help foster new partnerships and deploy new technologies in the commons.Item Open Access DalSpace: Collections from the Past and Present(2011-10-13) Paon, MichelleDeveloped in 2007 and launched in 2008, the DalSpace repository carries a diverse range of items from the Dalhousie academic community.
