An undergraduate class was provided with unlimited access to the library building and staff to conduct an analysis of the library’s carbon footprint. Over the semester, students and library staff learned more about the impact of their daily activities on the environment. As a result of student recommendations, staff made many changes to their workflow, multiple environmental sustainability initiatives spun off from those changes, and new efforts to integrate environmental sustainability research into the library’s education programs have begun. The authors situate this project in the context of environmental sustainability initiatives on campuses nationwide. in http://libraryjuicepress.com/sustainability-toolkit.php

We explore their diverse habitats and features, as well as the explosion of uses discovered for them by academic and journalistic researchers. We describe an approach to evaluating the quality of blogs as information sources using the CRAAP test and show how a consideration of digital ethos in the application of the CRAAP checklist imbues the test with flexibility and effectiveness and promotes critical thinking throughout the evaluation process. We demonstrate how the special features of blogs can be leveraged for rigorous assessment. For the purposes of defining examples, we focus on blogs and microblogs such as Facebook and Twitter, but we see our approach as having application across other yet-to-be developed platforms because of its flexibility and broad scope. in http://www.igi-global.com/book/online-credibility-digital-ethos/69207
