Walkthrough World's Largest Dinosaurs Special Exhibition
The World's Largest Dinosaurs (April 16, 2011-January 2, 2012), a new exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History, goes beyond traditional fossil shows to reveal how dinosaurs actually lived by taking visitors into the amazing anatomy of a uniquely super-sized group of dinosaurs: the long-necked and long-tailed sauropods, which ranged in size from 15 to 150 feet long.

Authors@Google present Dean Karlan and Jacob Appel: "More Than Good Intentions: How a New Economics Is Helping to Solve Global Poverty."

Feedback on Library and Learning Resources (LLR) services and support at
the University of the Arts London (UAL) is received from a very extensive
range of sources. However, although a considerable quantity of information is
available for analysis, it remains very difficult for LLR staff to extract
meaningful data from these numerous sources, which can reveal, in depth,
