This report describes an experiment in subject enhancement conducted at an academic research library. Subjects and contents notes were added to online catalog records for a group of previously uncirculated social science essay collections, and circulation was monitored over one academic year. A control group, plus a third group with added contents notes but no extra sub. jects, were also monito...

This set of notes is partially based on the notes scribed by students taking the course the first time it was given. Many thanks to Xiahong Hao and Nathan Hobbs for their hard work in critically revising, editing,...

Businesses that rely on a value-added network to provide information processing and communications services are only as secure as the network itself. The customer should understand the types of processing and control services provided by such vendors, and the potential exposures that use of these networks can entail. This article describes the control issues that must be addressed, the controls...

Pitch spelling addresses the question of how to derive traditional score notation from pitch classes or MIDI numbers. In this paper, we motivate that the diatonic notes in a piece of music are easier to spell correctly than the non-diatonic notes. Then we investigate 1) whether the generally used method of calculating the proportion of correctly spelled notes to evaluate pitch spelling models c...

Challenges Training of site staff on EDC systems is essential to ensure data quality and returns are maximised. Guidance notes are issued to support standardised completion of case report forms. However, due to the technical nature of EDC, guidance notes alone provide insufficient support for most site staff. Provision of effective, consistent and timely EDC training across a trial’s lifespan i...

This document contains lecture notes for a class on algorithms for selfish agents held by the authors at Università di Salerno in Spring 2003. Some lecture have been subsequently added.
