Emerging Trends and Technologies in the Information Ecosystem, December 10, 2021
No full textPresentation: "Trends in Collections and Analytics"and "Post-COVID Academic Library Trend-forecasting with a Focus on HBCUs"December’s Emerging Trends presentations provided tips on using technology for the creation and delivery of information. Madhu Kadiyala, Robert L. Fallen, Stephanie Bernard, and Suteera Apichatabutra share their knowledge from the Collections and Content Management Department, “Trends in Collections and Analytics.” There are many trends in the field of collections in the last few years. The whole serials market has been shaken up by mass cancellations, price changes, more document delivery choices, and changes in the way serials are used. Database products are transforming from collections of articles to “one stop shops” containing e-books, conference papers, videos, and many other publication formats. New analytics tools allow us to have detailed views of usage and complex views of collections. Open access materials are becoming better and more plentiful. The market is full of mergers and company acquisitions. “Collections as a service” is a fairly new buzz word, and there are recent cooperative collection projects that aim to preserve predictable numbers of copies of printed text as libraries move to more electronic delivery. In Jessica Epstein's presentation, "Post-COVID Academic Library Trend-Forecasting with a Focus on HBCUs," she covered topics ranging from the impact of access to a physical library space, issues of digital divide, device preferences during pandemic online learning and trend forecasting for Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library

Analysis of Fresh and Aged Tea Tree Essential Oils By Using GC××GC–qMS
No full textoThe present research is focused on the qualitative elucidation of the chemical profile of fresh tea tree essential oil and an oxidized, aged (circa 1984) counterpart by using the most powerful analytical tool available today for volatile analysis, namely comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) in combination with a mass spectrometer (MS). The rapid-scanning quadrupole (q) MS system employed generated a sufficient number of spectra/s (20/s) for the reliable identification of the high-speed GC×GC peaks. The total ion current GC×GC–qMS chromatogram of the fresh product was characterized by the presence of ~ 130 unknowns. Among these, 61 peaks were assigned with spectral similarities ≥ 90%, while 28 components presented MS library matches in the 80–89% range. With regards to the oxidized essential oil, about 180 volatiles were visible on the 2D plane with 63 of these characterized by library “hits” ≥ 90% and 45 presenting similarities within the 80–89% range. The use of the enhanced-resolution 3D methodology enabled the full separation of the samples analyzed and, hence, a clear distinction between the essential oils
A Conversation with Robert A. Plane
No full textRobert A. Plane, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, discussed his multifaceted, distinguished career with colleague Robert Hughes on September 8, 2012. He described his path into chemistry, how he came to co-author with Michell J. Sienko multiple textbooks in chemistry (including the famous text, Chemistry), his view on the future role of textbooks, his research interests and then his also distinguished career as an administrator. As an administrator Plane became Chair of the Chemistry Department at Cornell, Provost of the University while Dale Corson was president, President of Clarkson University, Director of the NYS Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva) and President of Wells College. In retirement he became a vintner–extending his long-term hobby and his work at the NYS Experiment Station.
