The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com I 2A - Monday, March 17, 2008 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. JUGGLING PLATES 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 EDNESDAY: THURSD ie Extremist Explaine emic research 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."
