Today, there are 62 institution systems supporting 90 member libraries. All new or updated metadata from a single library flows to the central system in real time so that the records in the central system are as current as they are at the individual library level. Users rely on this functionality as they search the central system looking for books and other resources to support their research.
Today we feature articles on the DOE's new 'extreme scale' supercomputer, more information on the effects of sequestration on higher education, and a resource center in Ohio aiming at finding workers for area manufacturers in Erie, Huron, Sandusky, and Seneca counties. Also featured is an article on ORNL using 3D printers to help with development in engineering and technology, along with information on technology and machine tool sales increasing.
Today's Digest highlights news focusing on 3D printing and biomedical research, the American Library Association and Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Also featured is information on a high demand for jobs in manufacturing in Northeast Ohio, new projects with Google Books, and natural gas boosting Ohio's economy.
Today's daily digest has a lot of focus on supercomputing and big data efforts at Oak Ridge, Google, and through the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Networking program. Also featured is the news on Lockheed Martin manufacturing plant closure in Ohio and Greenpeace working to further renewable energy use.
The staff of the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) is heading west again this year (Salt Lake City last year; Denver this year) to attend SC13, the premier international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. The staff will have a brand new booth to call "home away from home," and they will be introducing the HPC industry to a brand new industrial engagement initiative.
Today's digest focuses on a variety of articles including Japanese manufacturing of automatic vehicles, Ohio renewable energy companies adjusting to new efficiency standards, education technology efforts through Rosetta Stone, and Emerson Educational Services working on distance learning courses to help with workforce development. Also included is information on Obama's initiative to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US through the use of 3D printers in schools, along with news on three universities to focus on the usefulness of Big Data
As noted in this blog just a few weeks ago, the Ohio Supercomputer Center has launched a new program to foster the creation of advanced manufacturing apps to facilitate adoption of modeling and simulation by small and medium-sized businesses. Known as AweSim, the initiative is a collaborative effort of OSC, P&G, Intel, AltaSim Technologies, TotalSim USA, Kinetic Vision and Nimbis Services. I’m very excited about the potential of this new program, but industrial engagement efforts are nothing new to OSC.
Today's daily digest features articles on job development in Ohio for US Veterans, Case Western Reserve robotics research efforts funded by the NIH, and the growth of online learning standards in higher education. Also featured are articles on the continued effects of sequestration on university research, Ohio manufacturing development, and the surpsing effect of the shutdown on US businesses
The grand challenges we face in the 21st century are monumental. Solving these important national and global problems will require creative new approaches in science and technology. But responding to these 21st century challenges will prove even more difficult in light of the economic realities facing the nation and the world.
Today's digest focuses on information revolving around renewable energy efforts in Ohio, Ohio infrastructure improvements to increase the workforce, and universities expanding efforts to use e-journals and software associated. Also included is information on a new supercomputer built by the Department of Energy, 3D printing, and Ohio's Senators' efforts on manufacturing development with area institutions.
The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) delivers world-class technologies, information and expertise to benefit academic, government and industrial researchers and boost Ohio's economy. OH-TECH is comprised of three member organizations: the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) and the Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK). We hope to become your resource for news and information on supercomputing, networking and library trends.
