There are many types of wood joints that can be used for different purposes. Some key wood joints include butt joints which simply join the ends of two pieces together, biscuit joints which use an oval piece to reinforce a butt joint, and mortise and tenon joints which are very strong and join two pieces at a 90 degree angle. Other common joints include dovetail joints which are the strongest for joining wood end grain to end grain, finger joints which are similar but with straight pins, and tongue and groove joints which provide a strong connection along the long edge of boards. Each joint has advantages for strength, durability and application, though some require more time and skill to execute.

It is invented in 1940’s at Canada. Latex paint is very popular paint, especially in US. Latex paint is made in from a resin using rubber tree with binder, but many manufacturers didn’t use anymore this rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis) because they are now used man-made synthetic resins using of polyvinyl acetate, styrene butadiene and from other synthetic binders and these synthetic resins are also like natural latex but that’s is totally made from using of chemicals. Latex paint uses elastomer (binder) which is elastic but not hard rock surface. Latex paint provides cracking, scratches and peeling resistant. Also water resistant, provide wash ability, alkali cleaners resistant, mildew resistant.

One year ago, the Pew Research Center began studying how the role of public libraries, as well as the needs and expectations of their patrons and communities, are changing in the digital age. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, grounded by a Library Advisory Group, and conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, the first set of reports focus on the rise of e-reading and e-books at libraries. Among the findings: 12% of e-book readers have borrowed an e-book from a library; 58% of library card holders are unsure if their library offers e-books; and a majority of e-book borrowers were unable to borrow an e-book they were seeking at their library. At the Library 2.012 worldwide virtual conference, Pew Internet Research Analyst Kathryn Zickuhr and ALA Program Director Larra Clark will discuss key findings from these reports—including a brand new analysis focused on younger Americans' reading preferences and library use habits. The session also will explore immediate practical implications for U.S. public libraries.

This document discusses Americans' reading habits and how they are shifting to digital formats. It provides statistics on internet and device usage in the United States from 2000 to 2012. Some key points: - Internet usage among US adults has grown from 46% in 2000 to 82% in 2012, with mobile devices fundamentally changing how people access information. - E-book reader and tablet ownership has risen significantly in recent years, with 29% of US adults now owning one of these specialized devices for digital reading. - Social media usage has also increased dramatically, with 65% of US adults now using social networking sites like Facebook on a regular basis. - Smartphone ownership is high, at 46% of US adults, and is

Lee Rainie will give the keynote presentation on "Learning in the Digital Age: Where Libraries Fit In." Lee will discuss the way people use e-book readers and tablet computers and how those devices are fitting into users' digital lives. He will describe how three revolutions in digital technology – in broadband, mobile connectivity, and social media – have created a new social operating system that he calls "networked individualism." He will use the Project's latest findings to help describe how librarians can serve the new educational needs of networked individuals.

Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will share findings from a new report on e-book lending at libraries. He will also discuss other research about the rise of e-books, their impact on people’s reading habits, and the way that library patrons are hoping to avail themselves of e-book borrowing. Finally, he will explore general reading trends and describe the next steps in the Project’s ongoing research about the evolving role of libraries.

This document summarizes a presentation by Kathryn Zickuhr and Mary Madden of the Pew Internet & American Life Project to the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies. It discusses Pew's research on how public libraries and library users are changing in the digital age. The research is funded by the Gates Foundation and examines topics like the rise of e-books and e-readers, differences between print and digital readers, and libraries' evolving role in communities. Surveys of library patrons and staff about e-books and libraries were also mentioned.

Kathryn Zickuhr from the Pew Research Center presented research on the rise of e-reading and its impact on libraries and reading habits. She found that 29% of Americans now own a tablet or e-reader. While e-reading is most popular among younger, more educated groups, libraries struggle to keep up with lending e-books due to format incompatibilities and limited selections. The changing reading landscape could force libraries to reinvent their services and roles in their communities to remain relevant in the digital age.

Lee Rainie, the Project Director, describes the findings from the nationally representative survey that asked Americans what types of services they value in their libraries and what additional services they would like their libraries to offer.

This document discusses emerging technology trends in libraries over the next 10 years. It outlines several trends including increased use of mobile devices, social media, visual content like photos and videos, grassroots technologies like makerspaces and 3D printing, cloud computing, crowdsourcing, and the importance of distinguishing true trends from passing fads. The document suggests libraries consider how to design for mobile, support BYOD, update policies for user-generated content, offer training, and leverage emerging technologies while not being constrained by any single technology.

This document discusses current trends in libraries and information services globally and how libraries must adapt to remain relevant. Key points include: 1) Advancements in technology have changed the roles of librarians and expectations of services; 2) Librarians must acquire new digital skills and move beyond traditional roles to curate and provide access to electronic resources; 3) Libraries are increasingly virtual and digital, providing remote access to vast collections of online information.

With 2017 just around the corner; what are we looking forward to? Will self-driving cars be a thing? Would we finally get AI’s? Join Brian Pichman from the Evolve Project as he takes you on a journey of what the future of technology may be.

The document discusses emerging technology trends in libraries for 2017, including the Internet of Things, conversational systems, big data, mobility, augmented and virtual reality, grassroots technologies like makerspaces, wearable computing, payment systems, drones, and cloud computing. For each trend, the document poses the question "What does this mean for libraries?" and provides examples of how libraries could potentially apply and be impacted by these new technologies.

This document discusses trends in e-resources in academic libraries. It outlines how libraries' roles are evolving from managing print collections to managing multiple streams of digital content through various acquisition models like subscriptions, demand-driven acquisition, and licensing. It also examines challenges like declining budgets and new content types. The document analyzes different access models for ebooks and journals, balancing factors like cost, rights, and long-term access. It notes the complexity of evaluating e-resources given issues with usage data and determining value across platforms.

1) The document discusses 10 emerging technology trends for libraries: Internet of Things, mobile technology, consumer technology, wearable technology, smart machines, grassroots technology like makerspaces, payment systems, drones, app stores, and changes to the web. 2) For each trend, the document asks what the trend means for libraries and how libraries can prepare. Some examples discussed are designing for mobile, BYOD policies, offering gaming and new devices, makerspaces with 3D printers and tools, co-working spaces, and accepting new forms of payment. 3) The document concludes by distinguishing trends from short-lived fads and encouraging libraries not to be held back by technology but to prepare for emerging trends.

Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center Internet Project, runs through the seven questions libraries need to address as they consider future services and their role for their patrons and communities. He describes how project research about the changing role of technology in people’s lives affects the kinds of issues librarians need to address as they experience the disruptions of technology change.

The Changing World of Libraries: Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will discuss the Project’s latest research about how people use technology and how people use libraries. He will discuss the implications of this work for libraries.

The document summarizes key findings from recent Pew Internet Project reports about changing digital media behaviors and their impact. It discusses how: 1) Only 4% of Facebook users actually derive pleasure from using the site, with most feeling despair upon logging in. 2) Mobile internet access is widespread, with 89% of adults owning phones and 46% owning smartphones. 3) Social media engagement is common, with 59% of adults using sites like Facebook and 16% using Twitter. 4) These trends are changing how knowledge is accessed, shared and influenced as information becomes more pervasive, participatory and networked through various online platforms.

The document summarizes key trends in digital technology and its impact on civic engagement: 1) There has been a digital revolution with high rates of internet and broadband access at home, and most adults and teens are now networked creators online. 2) Mobile phones and smartphones are nearly ubiquitous, and many use location services and mobile devices for political purposes. 3) Over half of all adults now use social networking, and over a fifth have used social media for political purposes. 4) This new digital landscape has created new opportunities for civic groups and activists to directly reach audiences, but also risks of "echo chamber politics" where people only engage with those who agree with them.

Lee Rainie spoke at the Council on Foundations Annual Conference at a session titled "Philanthropy and the Digital Public Dialogue." Joined by representatives from the Center for Digital Information and other experts in the field, he discussed how advances in digital technology, rapid changes in how citizens access and engage with news and information, and the continued reshaping of the traditional media are dramatically altering the environment in which foundations operate.

Personal. Portable. Participatory. Pervasive. This document summarizes key trends in the digital landscape in 2013. It discusses the rise of broadband internet, smartphones, mobile apps, social networking, e-books, and how these technologies have led to more networked individuals, information, and civil society. While networks have gained influence, traditional institutions have lost some. The document also notes how class still plays a role in digital engagement.

Networked information is now pervasive, participatory, and social. It is generated and consumed in real-time across multiple platforms and devices. This has led to three digital revolutions: 1) Broadband internet access at home, 2) Widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets, and 3) Explosive growth of social networking. These changes have impacted knowledge and organizations by making information ubiquitous, fragmenting attention, and elevating self-learning and amateur experts alongside traditional sources. Organizations must adapt to greater transparency, demands to understand customer/worker perspectives, and new pathways into people's attention.

Director Lee Rainie gave a keynote at the NFAIS annual conference about the way the internet and mobile connectivity have transformed the worlds of networked individuals. He discussed how normal life has changed in the past decade because of three revolutions in technology: 1) the spread of broadband; 2) the rise of mobile connectivity; and 3) the emergence of technological social networks. He will discuss trends and likely future developments in technology that will shape the way people learn, share, and create information.

The document discusses how networked and hyperconnected technologies are changing how people, especially younger generations, live and work. It notes that teens and young adults have brains wired differently than older people due to extensive multitasking. While some argue this could negatively impact cognition, others believe it is yielding positive results by allowing people to learn more and access collective knowledge online. The document also examines how the digital, mobile and social media revolutions have impacted knowledge workers by increasing transparency, real-time information sharing, and influence of networks and new online experts.

Pew Internet data on internet and cell phone adoption, plus the roadblocks and opportunities in the path of peer-to-peer health care.

1) Social networking site use has increased across all age groups since 2005, though those ages 18-29 are still most likely to use them. 2) Over half of American adults now own smartphones, and one quarter mostly access the internet via their phone. 3) Staying connected to family is the main motivation for social media use among those over 50 years old.

The document summarizes key research trends from Pew Internet Project regarding how people use the internet, smartphones, and social media. It finds that internet and broadband access is now widespread, with people conducting extensive online research and travel planning. Mobile device ownership is also high, with people using apps and location-based services for real-time information. Social media use continues to grow rapidly, especially among younger adults, with many people participating in the sharing and discussion of news.

Lee Rainie will present a keynote discussion on networked learning at the The Free Learning 2.0 Conference on August 22. The conference is "a unique chance to participate in a global conversation on rethinking teaching and learning in the age of the Internet."
