Today is <a href="https://www.idpwd.com.au/" target="_blank">International Day of People with Disability</a>(IDPwD), a United Nations sanctioned day that is celebrated internationally on 3 December each year.<br />
<br />
The Australian Government has been supporting International Day of Disability since 1996. In 1997, the event was renamed International Day of People with Disability by the Australian community representatives to place emphasis on the abilities and achievements of people living with a disability.<br />

As our world becomes increasingly interconnected through web based technologies, it's important for all of us to think about how online connections & virtual resources can support us in our study efforts, & professional practice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBVOo0WKa61f3q1ASk1q5S_vlq6nHXrggThwKSDrS3W-WHOmdmRDU3ESvxLG7rzn0qvIzSAXOw9nEq6-Gmb3MXYNkgyOQGQXEO8BPcgsMpp1U2cJ3MHDzs0G6_3WseVoRIiPE7GQ/s1600/social+media+flare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="262" data-original-width="291" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBVOo0WKa61f3q1ASk1q5S_vlq6nHXrggThwKSDrS3W-WHOmdmRDU3ESvxLG7rzn0qvIzSAXOw9nEq6-Gmb3MXYNkgyOQGQXEO8BPcgsMpp1U2cJ3MHDzs0G6_3WseVoRIiPE7GQ/s200/social+media+flare.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Numerous studies have shown that social media can support students to acquire new knowledge and skills, with the learning process centring on the interactive nature of the platforms which allow information to be dynamically shared & discussed in near real time. The characteristics of social media can enable social support & a more student‐centred setting, which appears to enhance collaborative learning. So why not be smart online, & use social media to help you successfully adjust to university life, connect with experts in you field of study, & get ahead of the game when it comes to research & professional development?<br />
<br />
<br />
One great way you can use social media to assist you in your studies is by developing a Personal Learning Network (PLN). A PLN is a group of colleagues, mentors, & professionals that you connect with to enhance your learning & take charge of your own professional development. It's a global, online community that allows you tap into a broad wealth of knowledge & focus on what you consider most important to your learning. Navigating the world of online reputation is also an important challenge to think about when managing your online persona, & it's never to early to start participating & taking control of your online reputation. You can't opt out of an online reputation in today's world, but you can be proactive, stay safe while online and stand out from the crowd by promoting yourself effectively.<br />
<br />
If you would like to learn more about how you can use social networking to develop your own PLN, how to create a professional profile and protect yourself online, we have a range of online workshops & resources to help you achieve this:<br />

Today is White Ribbon Day! It is Australia's national day for raising awarness of men's violence against women, and how to prevent it in our community.<br />
<br />
Domestic violence is not going away. Statistics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2017) show that 1 in 2 women has experienced sexual harassment during her lifetime. On average, one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner (by Australian Institute of Criminology).<br />
<br />
The White Ribbon Australia campaign is about change - changing actions and current attitutes, changing the silence surrounding violence towards women, and creating a future where women can live in safety, free from violence and abuse.<br />
<br />
You can read more about <a href="https://www.whiteribbon.org.au/" target="_blank">White Ribbons Day</a> from their website.<br />

As you make your way through this session, you're probably being regularly directed to subject readings in your modules, and hearing terms like eReserve. If you're having trouble finding your readings, or are unsure how to access them, the Library is here to help. Your course readings will be listed, and hopefully linked, in your subject outline or your subject Interact2 site - so we've put together a few tips and tricks to help you find and access your readings during this session...<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>eReserve</b></h3>
<br />
eReserve contains scanned copies of material including book chapters and journal articles that are not otherwise available online. These scanned copies have been requested by your lecturer specifically for your subjects. Finding eReserve readings in <a href="https://primo.csu.edu.au/discovery/search?vid=61CSU_INST:61CSU&lang=en" target="_blank">Primo Search</a> is as simple as entering your subject code (no spaces), changing the "Search All" drop down to "eReserve and Reserve" and running the search:<br />
<div>

<b>Readings in your subject modules and topics</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
When you've been given the full reference information of a reading:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Books:</b> Use <a href="https://primo.csu.edu.au/discovery/search?vid=61CSU_INST:61CSU&lang=en" target="_blank">Primo Search</a> to search for the book title.</li>
<li><b>Book chapters:</b> Use Primo Search to search for the chapter title, or try searching for the book title.</li>
<li><b>Articles:</b> Use Primo search to search for the article title, or try searching for the journal title and use the volume and issue numbers to locate the article from the journal home page.</li>
<li><b>Websites:</b> Use Google to search for the website title.</li>
</ul>
<br />
When you've been given a partial reference:<br />
<ul>
<li>Use Primo Search to search for the part of the reference that looks like a title.</li>
<li>Contact your subject coordinator and ask for more reference details if necessary.</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you still can’t find your reading, or you come across recommended readings in your subject site that don't link directly to the full text, try watching this short video below on finding your subject readings. Remember, you can also <a href="http://library.csu.edu.au/contacts-help" target="_blank">contact us</a> at the Library for further help finding and accessing your subject readings!<br />

<br />
X-Ray Day, also known as the <a href="https://www.internationaldayofradiology.com/" target="_blank">International Day of Radiology</a> (IDOR), is celebrated internationally on November 8th every year, the anniversary of the day X-Rays were discovered in Germany by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen in 1895. The theme of this years IDOR is <a href="https://www.internationaldayofradiology.com/theme/" target="_blank">Cardiac Imaging</a>, to highlight the increasingly important role of radiologists in cardiac care.<br />
<br />
One of Australia's early users of X-Ray technology was Father Joseph Patrick Slattery, who was based mere blocks away from the CSU campus at Bathurst. Father Slattery's pioneering work with X-Rays began in 1896, and he is regarded by many as having greatly extended the boundaries of knowledge of this new branch of science. You can read more about Father Slattery, and other Australian X-Ray pioneers in an article available through Primo Search titled <a href="https://primo.csu.edu.au/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=sciversesciencedirect_elsevierS1078-8174(09)00063-7&context=PC&vid=61CSU_INST:61CSU&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&tab=Everything&lang=en" target="_blank">A short history of the origins of radiography in Australia</a>, by Tony Smith (2009).<br />

Today (October 27) is World Day for Audiovisual Heritage and this day is a key initiative for both UNESCO and the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Association (CCAAA) to honour audiovisual preservation and help safeguard this heritage for future generations. Audiovisual documents, such as film, radio and television programmes, are our common heritage and contain the primary records of the history of the 20th and 21st centuries.<br />
<br />
This years theme is "<b>Your Story is Moving</b>". When we think about the theme, think of preserving stories of our own family and history - which will allow our story to be retold and continue on in generations to come. Why not start recording your story!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Happy World Day of Audiovisual Heritage!</b></div>

October 24-30 is<a href="http://www.un.org/en/events/disarmamentweek/" target="_blank"> International Disarmament Week</a>, marking the central but elusive objective of the <a href="http://www.un.org/en/index.html" target="_blank">United Nations</a> to eliminate nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons, biological weapons, mines, and small arms.<br />
<br />
The General Assembly, along with other bodies of the United Nations,
continues to advance international peace and security by calling for
states to abandon the use of force in international relations.
Observances like International Disarmament Week help highlight the
danger of the arms race, propagate the need for its cessation and
increase public understanding of the urgent tasks of disarmament.<br />
<br />
The CSU library has a great range of online resources that you can use to investigate this issue or help with your research in this area, including:<br />

This week is <a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/" target="_blank">Open Access Week</a>, and the Library is running free workshops to help you understand Open Access (OA). OA makes research findings more accessible, and these workshops will demonstrate the advantages of open access - and how to make it work for you. If you'd like to register to attend, please visit our <a href="http://www.csu.edu.au/division/library/research/research-consultation-and-training" target="_blank">Induction Consultation & Training</a> web page. The workshops are being run on the following dates:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Understanding Open Access, Workshop 1 - <a href="https://connect-publish.csu.edu.au/content/connect/c1/7/en/events/event/shared/649233/event_landing.html?sco-id=22665171" target="_blank">22nd October 2018, 9:30 - 10:30 am</a></li>
<li>Understanding Open Access, Workshop 2 - <a href="https://connect-publish.csu.edu.au/content/connect/c1/7/en/events/event/shared/649233/event_landing.html?connect-session=breezbreez6p7askaa35tw8v5y&sco-id=22665203&_charset_=utf-8" target="_blank">24th October 2018, 1:30 - 2:30 pm</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
The Library has also introduced a new Open Access Facet in <a href="https://primo.csu.edu.au/discovery/search?vid=61CSU_INST:61CSU&lang=en&sortby=rank" target="_blank">Primo Search</a> that can be used by anyone to find information published in OA journals and books. This means that staff and students can find and use OA materials, which can then be made available to people who don't otherwise have access to scholarly resources. The facet can also help researchers find suitable OA peer reviewed journals in which to publish their research. To use the Open Access facet in Primo Search, follow these simple instructions:</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYsgbLkAlhQsOHNqcXwtdlVdKDMi3VtYMI4J5WfrPiSA9ev29g3ZQNg_epqm1LNlZsKvs5VPkuGzq3PuEGX0u8qdChSo8laCl6BfDspBLavw15bPEUzyz2jKOhx7irWEmMyd-mcA/s1600/open+access+primo.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="298" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYsgbLkAlhQsOHNqcXwtdlVdKDMi3VtYMI4J5WfrPiSA9ev29g3ZQNg_epqm1LNlZsKvs5VPkuGzq3PuEGX0u8qdChSo8laCl6BfDspBLavw15bPEUzyz2jKOhx7irWEmMyd-mcA/s200/open+access+primo.PNG" width="200" /></a><br />
<ul>
<li>Use your key search terms to conduct a search in Primo.</li>
<li>Under the <b>Show Only</b> heading on the left hand side of your search results select <b>Open Access</b>.</li>
<li>Select <b>Peer Reviewed</b> to browse through peer reviewed OA journals.</li>
</ul>
<div>
OA Week is an opportunity for us all to take action in making openness the default for research - to raise the visibility of scholarship, accelerate research, and turn breakthroughs into better lives. So why not take part in a workshop, or check out your new options in Primo? As always if you need any assistance with locating OA resources or registering for a workshop, please <a href="http://library.csu.edu.au/contacts-help" target="_blank">contact us</a> at the Library!</div>

This week is a great opportunity for the academic and research community to learn the potential of Open Access (OA), to share what has been learnt with others and to inspire the wider community to participate. OA Week highlights the importance of asking the tough questions, staying critical and engaging in conversations to learn from diverse perspectives about how to make scholarship more equitable and inclusive as it becomes more open.<br />

The most cited advantage of publishing through OA is the discoverability of your research - making your research easier for the end user to find, without the paywall found through traditional publishing. Some funders even make it a condition of funding that information is published through OA to ensure transparency and promote further research.<br />
<br />
There may still be costs associated with publishing in OA journals, which can vary. For more information about managing article processing charges, visit the<a href="https://aoasg.org.au/managing-article-processing-charges/" target="_blank"> Australasian Open Access Strategy Group</a> website. Another method of delivering OA articles is by use of archives or repositories, including <a href="https://researchoutput.csu.edu.au/" target="_blank">CSU Research Output </a>(CRO).<br />

<a href="http://mentalhealthmonth.wayahead.org.au/" target="_blank">Mental Health Month</a> is celebrated each year in the month of October in NSW, and today is <a href="https://1010.org.au/" target="_blank">World Mental Health Day</a>! This awareness month encourages all of us to think about our mental health and wellbeing, regardless of whether we may have a lived experience of mental illness or not. This month also gives us the opportunity to understand the importance of mental health in our everyday lives and encourages help seeking behaviours when needed.<br />
<br />
Stigma around mental illness due to misunderstanding or prejudice remains an issue in Australia, delaying people from wanting or feeling able to seek help, and impacting adversely on their lives. Misconceptions about those experiencing mental illness can lead to people affected being labelled as 'crazy', ‘comical’, ‘incompetent’ or ‘hopeless’. These types of labels can appear anywhere, in the media and the arts, and in conversations we have at work, school or home.<br />
<br />
WayAhead, the Mental Health Association of NSW, believes it's time to look at mental illness in a different light – a positive light, and have <a href="http://mentalhealthmonth.wayahead.org.au/events/photo/" target="_blank">events</a> happening across NSW that you can take part in.

Exams are just around the corner, and there are many things you can do to ensure you perform better in exams and achieve great results. Everyone knows that exams can be a hugely stressful time in your life, so now is a great time to begin your exam preparation for Session 2. Why not try and reduce your stress levels by being as organised, focused and healthy as possible at this time? Once you've got the initial exam details such as date, time and place covered - check out the following tips and tricks the Library has put together to help you plan the lead up to your exams, and be more than ready on the day!<br />
<br />
<b>Take the time to plan:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Prepare a timetable of your exams, a study plan and goals for each day/week. </li>
<li>Find a study space that is comfortable, quiet, well lit, organised, and has no distractions nearby.</li>
<li>Make sure you have everything you need before you start each study session. </li>
<li>Take regular study breaks. Most experts recommend taking a break every 45-50 minutes!</li>
<li>Practice with past exam papers. Try searching the <a href="http://www.csu.edu.au/division/student-admin/current-old/exam/search" target="_blank"><b>Past Exam Search</b></a> page or talk to your lecturer for help accessing.</li>
<li>If necessary, talk to your employers early to let them know you need to limit your shifts/hours while studying. </li>
</ul>
<b>Look after yourself!</b><br />
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd-Fhm43YOXHlroX1ql_qz7DSCiwt9UjFK3mL2nEEXTC119enTVbFrzsYKvC0_3DiuAK5Slh41eWGUcSHwV1bnahQ1TTr6TrQziBqayiitutxE9LHrsNr96Iy2rf9C6QnppCzYsQ/s1600/iStock_000036817938_Full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd-Fhm43YOXHlroX1ql_qz7DSCiwt9UjFK3mL2nEEXTC119enTVbFrzsYKvC0_3DiuAK5Slh41eWGUcSHwV1bnahQ1TTr6TrQziBqayiitutxE9LHrsNr96Iy2rf9C6QnppCzYsQ/s320/iStock_000036817938_Full.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<li>Exercise for 20 minutes before an exam - this can boost your memory and improve your performance.</li>
<li>Schedule activities you enjoy into your study plan, as this can reduce your stress levels enormously.</li>
<li>Don't get hungry when studying! Healthy snacks will keep your brain and body energy levels going for longer.</li>
<li>Remember rest and relaxation, especially before bed, to slow your brain activity down.</li>
<li>Just say "No" to parties during the weeks close to exams, think of the pay-off!</li>
</ul>
