CD-ROM networks : from platform-dependent local networks to seamless global access - Lam, Ki-Tat
This paper discusses CD-ROM networking technology and the issues of managing a CD-ROM network in an academic library environment. These issues include search software installation, workstation management, network licensing and usage monitoring. Despite problems with the above issues, the prospect of CD-ROM networking technology looks promising, since there is a growing interest in and a greater acceptance of the technology. Future trends of CD-ROM networking are also discussed as more and more CD-ROM database publishers and online service vendors are providing their databases on the internet. This move would undoubtedly enlarge the user base and change libraries' collection development strategies.

Changing roles of reference librarians : the case of HKUST Institutional Repository - Chan, Diana L. H.; Kwok, Catherine S. Y.; Yip, Stephen K. F.
The reference librarians at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology play important roles in developing the HKUST Institutional Repository. They have been engaged in all stages of its development: the definition of goals and scope, evaluation of system and content, forming strategies and procedures, interpreting publishers policies, contacting and servicing faculty members, acquisition of content, and promotional efforts. This paper describes how the reference librarians were involved in developing the repository and how their roles were reshaped.

Assessing the enduring impact of library instruction programs - Wong, Gabrielle K. W.; Chan, Diana L. H.; Chu, Samuel K. W.
In order to improve library instruction and to produce data that shed light on the value of this core library service, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library conducted a formal assessment on its instruction program in 2004. A group of 688 users from 25 one-shot sessions was surveyed by a questionnaire four to eight weeks after the sessions were conducted. Results showed that the majority of attendees remained positive about the usefulness of the library sessions; they retained and used the skills learned; the overall rating of the library sessions and the instructors were comparable to those...

A 3.1-8.0 GHz MB-OFDM UWB transceiver in 0.18μm CMOS - Zheng, Hui; Lou, Shuzuo; Lu, Dongtian; Shen, Cheng; Chan, Tat Fu; Luong, Howard Cam
This paper presents a complete CMOS dual-conversion zero-IF2 transceiver for 9-band MB-OFDM UWB systems from 3.1 to 8.0 GHz. The transceiver integrates all building blocks including a variable-gain wideband LNA, a single mixer for both RF down and up conversions in RX and TX, a fast-settling frequency synthesizer, and IQ ADCs and DACs. Fabricated in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process, the receiver measures maximum S11 of -13dB, maximum NF of 8.25 dB, in-band IIP3 of better than -13.7 dBm, and variable gain from 25.3 to 84.0 dB. IQ path gain and phase mismatch of the receiver chain are measured to...
