In our new remote teaching and learning environments students may find themselves having to look things up online more than ever before.

This is a good time to remind students about some basic search strategies like creating a search checklist and consulting vocabulary lists as part of the search process. Once they've done those basics it might be time for them to try some other search tools that often get overlooked.

Brown University Uses VR to Give Scientists a Closer Look at Their Research | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Benjamin Knorlein, a researcher at Brown University’s Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV), has integrated VR with a digital holographic microscope to present an up-close look at plankton and how they function within their environment — a view so finely detailed that the human eye can’t capture it under normal observation.

Design is important and we already know that “content is king” when it comes to having a successful Web site, but there’s another factor that can prove hugely important for Web site owners that many people don’t really pay attention to, and that’s search terms. Not keywords, not the words or phrases that you ensure you mention in your articles to make them findable, but the terms that people search for when they find and end up on your site.

Today marks the official launch of Unpaywall, a web browser extension that links users directly to free full-text versions of research articles. Heather Piwowar and Jason Priem of Impactstory, the team behind Unpaywall, report on the successful pre-release phase, and explain how two decades of investment, a slew of new tools, and a flurry of new government mandates have helped build a powerful momentum behind green open access.

Today we’re launching a new tool to help people read research literature, instead of getting stuck behind paywalls. It’s an extension for Chrome and Firefox that links you to free full-text as you browse research articles. Hit a paywall? No problem: click the green tab and read it free!
