Google's next conquest: Acad
Google has scanned more than one
million books onto its site for world-
wide availability since partnering with
libraries and universities across the
country, including the University of
Michigan.
Thenewsoftware programintended
to aid term paper writers and research-
ers nationwide will help students and
professors know when Google has a
book they're looking for by merging
Google's catalog into online library
search engines.
The University of Texas at Austin
is one of the first universities to inte-
grate Google's catalog into its own.
When students at UT type a title or
author into the online catalog, they'll
know whether the book is available
online through Google.
LIKE CTOOLS, BUT BETTER
It's like CTools, only better.
Medical students at the Univer-
sity of Alberta use their new online
learning system - Homer - to access
everythingfromclassnotesandonline
libraries to their e-mail accounts and
Facebook, The Chronicle of Higher
Education reported.
Students using the system can also
put forth their own material like self-
made quizzes or notes and access
those of other students as well.
They can also post music videos.
"Diagnosis Wenckebach," a music
video suggestive of Justin Timber-
lake's "Sexy Back," made by medical
students at the University of Alberta
fuses hip-hop with the operating
table as students twirl and rap about
cardiac conditions.

Students at Dickenson College
don't take their cafeteria trays for
granted, because soon they might not
have them, the Chronicle reported.
Dickenson is considering becom-
ing one of many schools that no lon-
ger use cafeteria trays.
The dining director for Middle-
bury College, which got rid of trays
in August, said the tray-elimination

initiative was about conservation and
workers rights. No trays means fewer
dishwasher loads, which saves energy
and money for Dickenson.
SHOW ME THE MONEY
Clemson University is facing a
lawsuit claiming school officials hid
$80 million in cash from the state
while asking for more funding and
increasing tuition, The State report-
ed.
A former executive secretary to
the Clemson Board of Trustees, Gene
Troutman III, filed the lawsuit.
The accusations include dictato-
rial control by the Board chairman,
unethical salary boosts to members
of the administration with close ties
to the president and hoarding exces-
sive amounts of cash.
The chairman of the Board vehe-
mently denied allegations and said he
looked forward to addressing the law-
suitin court, the product, he added, of
a "disgruntled former employee."
