  2. A quick bookmarklet for off-campus library access

    Tue 17 December 2013
    cfarmer

    I have been doing a fair bit of research off-campus lately, and as usual, have been having trouble accessing research materials (mainly academic publications) from home. Fortunately, Hunter College provides off-campus access to all electronic resources available to Hunter students, faculty and staff via their Library proxy server. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a huge pain to use anything other than the library search facilities (like Google Scholar) through the proxy server*. In fact, when working off-campus, you actually have to preface each URL address to licensed resources with http://proxy.wexler.hunter.cuny.edu/login?url= in order ...

  5. Early Stage Researcher Position in GeoInformatics

    Mon 23 September 2013
    cfarmer

    This is just a quick note about a great opportunity for early career researchers interested in the field of geoinformatics. The Centre for GeoInformatics at the University of St Andrews in Scotland has two new early career researcher positions available to start right away. These are really great opportunities for someone in the first 4-years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers who has not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree. This is also especially good for foreign students, as the Marie Curie regulations require that candidates must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity in the ...

  6. New Journal: Spatial Demography

    Thu 06 June 2013
    cfarmer

    I have recently joined the editorial team at Spatial Demography — a new journal outlet for demographers and others who use spatial data, methods, and theory.

    A bit more about the journal:

    Spatial Demography [ISSN: 2164-7070 (online)] focuses on the spatial analysis of demographic processes. This cross-disciplinary work involves modern demographic data visualization, enhanced geo-referenced data availability, and spatial statistics, facilitated through full color graphics, motion video tools, and a quick time-to-publication. The journal publishes research articles, essays, research reports, data sources, computing software, teaching notes, and book reviews on a wide range of topics of interest to the social demographer.
