\nRecorded presentation<\/a>1.1: Everyday Mysteries: Why is it hot in the summer and cold in the winter?<\/strong>
\nReference librarians are still on the front lines when it comes to helping the public find information. At the same time, we encourage information literacy and critical thinking skills. Back in 2002 the Library of Congress Science Reference Section launched a new website, Everyday Mysteries<\/a>, directed at the scientifically curious K-12 students and the general public. The Everyday Mysteries website is dedicated to providing answers to frequently asked questions that more or less pertain to everyday phenomena and can be explained scientifically. The site is a fun and educational way to communicate scientific topics to the public, while highlighting resources at the Library or on the Web. Many of the questions we investigate are related to meteorology and climatology. This session will provide a general discussion of the workings behind the Everyday Mysteries website using examples of the weather and climate topics found on it.Jennifer Harbster, Digital Reference Specialist

\nRecorded presentations<\/a>2.1: Use of Climate Science for Decision-Making<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe future isn’t what it used to be.\u201d \u201cStationarity is dead\u201d. What is \u201cnormal\u201d weather? Current national standards for designing and constructing buildings and roadways require use of past climate data for ensuring robust functioning in future climate conditions. Buildings and roadways are designed to function well in the past, but not necessarily 50 years into the future. Dams, levees, culverts under roadways were designed for precipitation and streamflow conditions that no longer exist. Reduced snowfall and earlier snowmelt due to warmer temperatures create risk-management challenges to managers of large reservoirs supplying urban and agricultural water throughout the western US. Future scenario climate information is available for providing guidance on the range of future conditions that will impact critical national infrastructure. This presentation will describe some early examples of how climate science is being used to supply quantitative data, complete with assessment of uncertainty, for managing the unavoidable consequences of climate change.Eugene S.

2.2: VORTEX2: Inside the tornado research project<\/strong>
\nThe Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 2009-2010 is the largest field research project in history to learn more about how, when, why and where tornadoes form. The two-year data collection phase ended in June, 2010. An overview of the project, field operations, and research goals will be presented.Susan Cobb, Meteorologist and Science Writer

\nRecorded presentation<\/a>3.1: Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines: Celebrating the Centennial of the 1910 Harvard Boston Aero Meet<\/strong>
\nSeptember, 2010 marked the 100th anniversary of the Harvard-Boston Aero Meet, an event which brought over 500,000 people to an air field in what is now Quincy, Massachusetts, on Boston Harbor to cheer on the glamorous and courageous fliers who performed seemingly impossible feats of derring-do over land and sea. Sponsored by the Harvard Aeronautical Society, whose president was Abbott Lawrence Rotch, Harvard\u2019s first professor of meteorology and founder and director of Blue Hill Meteorology Observatory, and the Boston Globe, international competitors vied for prize money up to $10,000 for separate events from speed racing to \u201cbombing\u201d ground targets. In addition, there were dirigible and kite demonstrations, including the first manned kite flight. All America was enthralled by the idea of being in the air and the 10-day event drew aviation and other luminaries, including President William Howard Taft and Boston Mayor \u201cHoney Fitz\u201d Fitzgerald. Attending the Aero Meet inspired Harriet Quimby, to become America\u2019s first licensed female pilot and also the first woman to fly across the English Channel. This talk will chronicle the 10-day event, which was a milestone in early aviation.Jinny Nathans, AMS Librarian and Archivist

\nModerator<\/span>: Lisa Fish
\nRecorded presentations<\/a>4.1: How to Publish a Scientific Paper: Reflections on Being a Journal Editor<\/strong>
\nLibrarians often work closely with authors on their research to help them write a better paper with more complete reference lists. The next person who works with the author is the editor at the journal. But, what does an editor do? What steps are required to publish a scientific paper? How frequently do such papers get rejected? The Chief Editor of Monthly Weather Review answers these questions and tells stories about the things that can go wrong on the way to publication.David M.

2:00pm<\/strong><\/td>\n4.2: Blazing a TRAIL: Digitizing and Preserving Legacy U.S. Government Technical Reports<\/strong>
\nSome of the most underutilized materials in academic libraries are older U.S. government agency technical reports. In most libraries, these reports suffer from some combination of: no or only series level cataloging, resulting in little access to the individual report; limited\/partial holdings of many series; little database indexing, outside of NTIS; and format issues (availability only in microfiche, or even microcard, and many print reports suffer from poor quality paper and printing). The Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL) is preserving and creating greater access to these reports. Print copies of report series are being gathered for digitization from partners nationwide and print archival collections are being identified. Metadata\/Cataloging records are being produced for each report in each series and supplied to OCLC, which will make record collection sets available for libraries to load into local catalogs. All digitized reports are being made openly accessible and searchable via a single interface, at www.technicalreports.org<\/a>. The TRAIL project will be described and screen shots of the interface, sample search results, and scanned documents will be presented, and opportunities for involvement of others in extending\/enhancing the project will be described.Mel DeSart, Head, Engineering Library

\nThis year, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research launched OpenSky, the open access institutional repository containing scholarly, peer-reviewed research, grey literature, technical notes, and other resources documenting the institution\u2019s scientific legacy and contribution to the broader community. Offering timely, free access to works written and\/or published by NCAR scientists and UCAR staff, OpenSky answers the decades-long call made by UCAR\u2019s international community to gain access to NCAR research. In September 2010, OpenSky launched with over 2,300 full text resources. Among its opening collections are over 100 of the most cited articles published by NCAR scientists in AMS journals – a collection made possible by a unique partnership brokered between the NCAR Library and the publishing staff of the AMS. OpenSky will continue to grow over the years, showcasing and providing UCAR\u2019s international community as well as researchers, scientists, educators, and students worldwide \u2013 with expedient access to the groundbreaking research conducted at NCAR.Jamaica Jones, Special Projects Librarian

\nModerator<\/span>: Jamaica Jones
\nRecorded presentations<\/a>5.1: Touch and Tech: Communication Essentials at the Weather Center Library, Norman, OK<\/strong>
\nWhen the National Weather Center opened four years ago, it brought together under one roof over thirteen federal, state and University of Oklahoma weather and climate programs with varying emphases on teaching, research, service and outreach. The new library, funded by all NWC programs, has worked with a combination of touch and tech to help serve the needs of all of these entities. This presentation highlights some of the ways in which this very small library supports the goals of increasing communication among researchers, students and staff within the NWC and sharing weather and climate information and resources with people outside of the NWC. Partnerships with other libraries and groups will be discussed as well as the findings of a recent study by OCLC that emphasizes the importance of both technology and human contact in working with researchers.Ginny Dietrich, Librarian

4:15pm<\/strong><\/td>\n5.2: The NASA Goddard Library TIROS-1 Photographic Atlas Collection of Weather Photos from Space and the “First” Weather Image<\/strong>
\nTIROS 1, the Television Infra-Red Observation Satellite, was launched 50 years ago on April 1, 1960 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the first satellite designed to observe clouds from space and is the precursor to dozens of meteorological operational and research satellites. TIROS only lasted 3 months, but it made 1,392 orbits and took nearly 23,000 pictures. The NASA Goddard Library has a rare and unique collection of 26 bound volumes of TIROS 1 photography prepared by the Navy in 1961 specifically for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This talk will highlight the collection, attempts contemplated to preserve it, and revelations that the “first” image from TIROS, widely distributed around the internet (and even by NOAA and NASA), was not the first photo, nor even taken on the first day of operations!Gene R.
