Librarians are accustomed to the fact that Google has challenged us to work within a changed information habitat for ourselves and our uses. But if you’re a user of GMail, Google Docs, Calendar or other services, you might be wondering why we still have Eudora, Meeting Maker, Microsoft Word, and the U:\ drive. Join CIO Kevin Morooney and Senior Director of DLT Mairéad Martin for a discussion of why and how Google challenges university IT services and how we might think about them. leave up till sept 1 07

Glass Ceiling or Sticky Floor?: How self-limiting behaviors, assumptions and beliefs can hold women back in their careers*
Presenter(s): Rebecca Shambaugh
Status: Available
Air Date: 10/10/2007
Air Time: 4:30 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 4 Minutes 26 Seconds
Ms. Shambaugh’s presentation will focus on seven “sticky floors,” or self-limiting behaviors, assumptions and beliefs that hold women back in their careers. The talk is for faculty, staff and students interested in avoiding or breaking free of these sticky floors. Her key points will focus on building strategic relationships, leveraging political savvy, making words count, negotiating for what people want and need, achieving work/life balance, asking for help and taking prudent risks, and balancing perfectionism with excellence.

Fueling the Future: A Place for Coal?"
Presenter(s): Harold H. Schobert
Status: Available
Air Date: 1/26/2008
Air Time: 11:57 AM EST
Length: 1 Hour 16 Minutes 31 Seconds
Coal is sometimes regarded as the ultimate "bad guy" in today's energy picture. Is there still a place for coal in our energy future? Or is coal dead? Transportation will continue to rely on liquid fuels for decades, and coal can be a source of these fuels. Learn about the challenges that must be met in understanding the chemistry of coal, in developing cost-effective conversion methods, and in harnessing coal's carbon as a fuel for the future. http://www.science.psu.edu/alert/frontiers/index.html

The high cost of energy after whale-oil production peaked helped convince Pennsylvanians to drill for petroleum. The success of that first Drake well helped preserve the whales, but is now contributing to global warming. Learn why scientists are confident that our burning of oil, coal, and other fossil fuels will have large impacts on the Earth's climate and living things, including us, if we ignore the available cost-effective solutions. http://www.science.psu.edu/alert/frontiers/index.html

Air Time: 11:00 AM EST
Length: 1 Hour 33 Minutes 49 Seconds
A renewed interest in nuclear power is now occurring, after almost three decades of controversy and an unofficial moratorium on building new plants in the United States. Advanced designs have been developed and approved, new license applications have been filed, and new plants have been ordered. Learn the reasons why this renaissance is happening, the safety and reliability features of the new designs, and why next-generation nuclear energy is more attractive to both U. S. and international energy suppliers. http://www.science.psu.edu/alert/frontiers/index.html

Magnetoencephalography and the Hunt for HFO'S
Presenter(s): Dr. WILLIAM EDDY
Status: Available
Air Date: 4/17/2008
Air Time: 4:00 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 10 Minutes 5 Seconds
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is the measurement of the magnetic field generated by the neural activity of the human brain. It is a completely non-invasive technique, simply performing passive measurement of the field. MEG has very high temporal resolution (a millisecond or less) and high spatial resolution (about a centimeter). It is used clinically for presurgical planning for untreatable epileptics. It is used as a research tool for studying brain function, much like fMRI and PET. This talk will describe MEG, from the various points of view of neuroscience, physics, and statistics. We will describe the hardware, typical experiments, the data, and current methods of analysis. High frequency oscillations (HFO's) have been suggested as a precursor to epileptic seizures. This preictal activity, if it exists, will be extremely difficulty to detect because of computational problems and because of noise. We will report on our attempts to find HFO's. .
