The possible demise of our most popular Digital Scholarship project, Historical Maps of Singapore, led us down a rabbit hole of geospatial raster data, where images aren't what they seem. Find out how the team raced against time to save it! tinyurl.com/544hdm3a
5 years ago, we organised our first Researcher Unbound Symposium. That was our first attempt at bringing together the NUS community in a 2-day learning marathon and it was a blast!
We're bringing it back this October! Over a series of lightning talks and panel discussions, you get to learn and network with 16 speakers across multiple disciplines. It'll be held at the new Medicine+Science Library and seats are limited. So hurry, grab them now: https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/researcher-unbound/researcher-unbound-symposium-2023/about.

The availability of drinking water was one of the key factors in the establishment of British imperial rule in Singapore in 1819. In this talk, A/Prof Timothy Bernard shared the early tales, records and accounts of this important element, and discussed how water can influence our perspectives and approaches to Singaporean history.

Oftentimes, we build on existing ideas or theories in our academic writing.
Did you know that most cases of plagiarism at the undergraduate level are accidents where the student just forgot that they had paraphrased another source? Don’t sabotage yourself! If you are writing from sources:
1️⃣ Create an outline listing the sources you plan to use in your writing
2️⃣ As you quote, paraphrase, or summarise other sources, cite as you go!
3️⃣ Paraphrase other texts using not only different vocabulary, but different grammar as well
Better still, book a consultation with the NUS Writing & Communication Hub. Our peer tutors will help you tackle those writing scaries together. Check us out at https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/services-help/writing-communication-hub/about. 👍🏼

Home to our rare book collection, the BookBridge is a design marvel and a bibliophile’s dream. Restricted access meant that library users and passers-by could only wonder at the marvels within…until now! tinyurl.com/4y8wmddz

We will collaborate with Universitas Muslim Indonesia (UMI) on preserving, digitising, and translating the (currently believed to be from the 19th century) Daeng Paduppa manuscript that sheds light on the historical and trade interactions between Bugis-Makassar and Singapore.
Daeng Paduppa was a Bugis prince who, in addition to being a trader, was said to have close relations with Hajjah Fatimah, a tradeswoman and philanthropist.
The collaboration aims to translate the Bugis-Makassar script into Indonesian and English, and will be made available to those interested in the study of early Bugis settlers who arrived as maritime traders and played a pivotal role in Singapore's development as a regional trading hub. The translation project will be led by Dr Mohamed Effendy B Abdul Hamid from NUS Southeast Asian Studies, together with researchers from UMI.
The manuscript, both in its original and translated versions, will soon be accessible to scholars and the general public via our Digital Gems microsite.

Digital information literacy lies at the heart of many General Education courses at NUS. How does a faculty-librarian collaboration to embed information literacy into a course benefit students learning? Our librarians Siu Chen and Lyndia contributed to a reflection article in the Asian Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning to explore these questions from the faculty and academic librarian perspectives. https://nus.edu.sg/cdtl/engagement/publications/ajsotl-home/asian-journal-of-the-scholarship-of-teaching-and-learning/v13n1-Azfar-et-al
Historically, Singapore was home to a diverse and diasporic population, resulting in a linguistically heterogeneous society. “Striking A Balance: The Management of Language in Singapore” studies the language management in Singapore, with a specific focus on how language serves both as a valuable resource and a means to enhance national unity.
