Subject Liaison’s Survival Guide to Technical Services
Subject liaisons act as a bridge connecting academic departments to the library and its services, helping facilitate instruction sessions, research support, and collection development. To be at their best in these roles, subject liaisons need a working understanding of technical services functions. This book represents the first guide to speak directly to the needs and responsibilities of subject liaisons, clearing away unnecessary information and jargon to bring them up to speed on how technical services staff get things done. Clear and concise, this guidecovers policy, budgets and funding, submitting orders, acquisitions ordering, processing, cataloging, deselection and weeding, and other major technical services duties;includes appropriate background information on each topic to enhance readers’ understanding;provides “Questions You Should Be Asking” connected to each chapter which encourage subject liaisons to be proactive in their learning; andoffers a glossary of common technical services terms . Armed with this guide’s targeted information, subject liaisons will be able to better position themselves to serve both instructors and the library effectively.

Characterizing Multiparticle Entanglement Using the Schmidt Decomposition of Operators
Characterizing entanglement is an important issue in quantum information, as it is considered to be a resource for many applications such as quantum key distribution or quantum metrology. One useful tool to detect and quantify entanglement are witness operators. A standard way to construct them is based on the fidelity of pure states and mathematically relies on the Schmidt decomposition of vectors. In this book a method to build entanglement witnesses using the Schmidt decomposition of operators is presented. One can show that these are strictly stronger than the fidelity witnesses. Moreover, the concept can be generalized easily to the multipartite case, and one may use it to quantify the dimensionality of entanglement. Finally, this scheme will be used to provide two algorithms that can be combined to improve given witnesses for multiparticle entanglement.

Gestaltung von digitalisierten Service Ecosystems
Unternehmen entwickeln digitale Serviceinnovationen zunehmend in branchenübergreifenden Ecosystems gemeinsam mit anderen Unternehmen. Tim Senn präsentiert in diesem Buch die theoretischen Hintergründe und Dynamiken der Kollaboration von Akteuren in digitalisierten Ecosystems. Das mittels Fallstudien validierte Konzept erlaubt eine strukturierte Betrachtung solcher Systeme und unterscheidet dabei zwischen zentralen Akteuren, die das Ecosystem aktiv orchestrieren, und peripheren Akteuren, die an der Wertschöpfung partizipieren. Die Erkenntnisse aus den Fallstudien zeigen Handlungsoptionen für das Management auf und geben konkrete Gestaltungshinweise.Tim Senn ist Strategie- und Marketingberater und forschte als externer Doktorand an der Universität Hohenheim zur Transformation von Unternehmen, zu digitalen Geschäftsmodellen und zur Kooperation zwischen Unternehmen bei der Gestaltung komplexer Ecosystems.

1001 Beds
If I continue to tour for another twenty years, as I have for the last twenty-one, I will end up sleeping in at least 1000 hotel beds in my lifetime. For maximum poetic oomph, let's say 1001 beds...They symbolize a life and art dedicated to reaching out toward folks from Bozeman to Tampa. A life and art that has traveled widely and, I believe, reached a couple hundred thousand people with my stories of queer life and love. For a quarter century, Tim Miller has worked at the intersection of performance, politics, and identity, using his personal experiences to create entertaining but pointed explorations of life as a gay American man - from the perils and joys of sex and relationships to the struggles of political disenfranchisement and artistic censorship. This intimate autobiographical collage of Miller's professional and personal life reveals one of the celebrated creators of a crucial contemporary art form and a tireless advocate for the American dream of political equality for all citizens. Here we have the most complete Miller yet - a raucous collection of his performance scripts, essays, interviews, journal entries, and photographs, as well as his most recent stage piece ""Us"". This volume brings together the personal, communal, and national political strands that interweave through his work from its beginnings and ultimately define Miller's place as a contemporary artist, activist, and gay man.

Suburban Myths
In Suburban Myths, Sam Schmidt writes poetry that plumbs the depths of everyday life in that most artificial of environments, the American suburb. He explores not only the myth that is the suburb-an island in time and space trying to forestall nature and history while also being part of them, and the myths of romantic love and family life by which the suburbs call to something in our hearts-but also the sometimes-whimsical myths that we create to try to make the suburban world come round at those times when it suddenly seems foreign.

Tim and Tom
As the heady promise of the 1960s sagged under the weight of widespread violence, rioting, and racial unrest, two young men - one black and one white - took to stages across the nation to help Americans confront their racial divide: by laughing at it."Tim and Tom" tells the story of that pioneering duo, the first interracial comedy team in the history of show business - and the last. Tim Reid and Tom Dreesen polished their act in the nightclubs of Chicago, then took it on the road, not only in the North, but in the still-simmering South as well, developing routines that even today remain surprisingly frank - and remarkably funny - about race. Most nights, the shock of seeing an integrated comedy team quickly dissipated in uproarious laughter, but on some occasions the audience's confusion and discomfort led to racist heckling, threats, and even violence. Though Tim and Tom perpetually seemed on the verge of making it big throughout their five years together, they grudgingly came to realize that they were ahead of their time: America was not yet ready to laugh at its own failed promise.Eventually, the grind of the road took its toll, as bitter arguments led to an acrimonious breakup.But the underlying bond of friendship Reid and Dreesen had forged with each groundbreaking joke has endured for decades, while their solo careers delivered the success that had eluded them as a team. By turns revealing, shocking, and riotously funny, "Tim and Tom" unearths a largely forgotten chapter in the history of comedy.
