We are pleased to announce that the Call for Contributions for iPRES2019 is now open. iPRES is the premier international conference on the preservation and long term management of digital materials. The 16th International Conference on Digital Preservation will be held on September 16-20, 2019 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
We invite original contributions that describe practice- and theory-informed approaches to scientific models, daily practice, collaborative efforts, creative solutions, and the progress your organization has made in digital preservation.
Call for Contributions
We welcome full papers and short papers as well as proposals for workshops, tutorials, posters, panel discussions and for a hackathon. Submissions should relate to the overall conference theme, Eye on the Horizon, describing the cutting edge of our domain and crossing into other domains.
We encourage submissions which describe collaborations across and beyond cultural heritage domains, and we welcome proposals that describe research and practice in agencies of all sizes and in all sectors.

Chemistry exams and tests
In addition to our own exam-papers page, a useful site for students in CHEM courses is the LEARN “Chemistry Undergraduate” pages. These include past tests and exams (and for 100-level courses, answers too).
CHEM students should already be enrolled in the ‘course’ and see it when they log into LEARN. There is also a link to it “Past Tests (via LEARN)” on the Chemistry Subject Guide http://canterbury.libguides.com/chem

Just noticed this on The Insider’s Guide to UC
https://blogs.canterbury.ac.nz/insiders/2018/05/04/chat-room-you-talk-we-listen/
UC websites – direct linking to an expanding box or to a tab
The URL found in the heading of an expanding box (has a red + at the right) or of a tab can be used to link directly to that box or tab.
Box examples, http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/its/printing-and-copying/#collapse16282 and http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/its/computer-workrooms/#collapse22664
Tab example http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/its/accessing-your-email/#16349
Linking like this didn’t work when the new websites were first rolled out (back then such a link just sent you to the page as a whole), but now that it does it could come in handy when directing students to relevant information on AskLIVE or via email. I’ve tried it out successfully on Chrome, Firefox and IE.
