“Straight to the Heart of Things”— Reflecting on Library Metaphors for Impact and Assessment

Creator:: Stoddart, Richard A.
Abstract:: This paper explores the use and creative application of library metaphors. Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always able to speak for themselves. Simply stating reference statistics, gate counts, and resource circulation numbers are not persuasive narratives in and of themselves. Voice and context needs to be given to these forms of...

Growing our vision together : forming a sustainability community within the American Library Association

Creator:: Filar Williams, Beth, Charney, Madeleine, and Smith, Bonnie
Abstract:: As long-standing keepers of democracy and information stewardship, library professionals are a natural fit for advocating and promoting sustainability within their communities. From seed libraries to Occupy Wall Street libraries, their view of sustainability extends beyond environmental concerns to include community activism, economic development, and social equity. Empowering people, facilitating...

Trumpet of the Spirit, Bass of Faith: Jazz as a Cold War Spiritual Weapon

Creator:: Stoneburner, B. Lauren
Abstract:: This paper explores Jazz music during the Cold War. During the Cold War the U.S. went through a process of becoming more explicitly religious, identifying specifically a Judeo-Christian country. Particularly through foreign policy, the separation between church and state became less and less clear to the point where it seemed...

Who supports the legalization of marijuana? The impact of liberalism and age on attitudes surrounding legalization of recreational marijuana

Creator:: Koll, Aiden
Abstract:: In an era of political polarization, the possibility of the legalization of recreational marijuana has become a popular topic of controversy. While a few states have passed general legislation, the vast majority still prohibit recreational use. In the interest of understanding why there are so many differences between the states,...

Using data management plans as a research tool for improving data services in academic libraries

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L., Hswe, Patricia, Westra, Brian, Wells Parham, Susan, and Carlson, Jake
Abstract:: An analysis of Data Management Plans (DMPs) can offer insight into local data management practices. The IMLS- funded “Data management plans as A Research Tool (DART) Project” has developed an analytic rubric to assist librarians in facilitating and standardizing the review of DMPs. This panel will consist of data specialists...

Assessing Research Data Management Practices of Faculty at Carnegie Mellon University

Creator:: Van Tuyl, Steve, Michalek, Gabrielle, and Van Tuyl, Steven
Abstract:: INTRODUCTION: Recent changes to requirements for research data management by federal granting agencies and by other funding institutions have resulted in the emergence of institutional support for these requirements. At CMU, we sought to formalize assessment of research data management practices of researchers at the institution by launching a faculty...

Evaluating the agreement between measurements and models of net ecosystem exchange at different times and timescales using wavelet coherence: an example using data from the North American Carbon Program Site-Level Interim Synthesis

Creator:: Stoy, P. C., Dietze, M. C., Richardson, A. D., Vargas, R., Barr, A. G., Anderson, R. S., Arain, M. A., Baker, Ian T., Black, T. Andrew, Chen, J. M., Cook, R. B., Gough, C. M., Grant, R.

J., Sahoo, A. K., Schaefer, K., Schwalm, C. R., Tian, H., Verbeeck, H., and Weng, E.
Abstract:: Earth system processes exhibit complex patterns across time, as do the models that seek to replicate these processes. Model output may or may not be significantly related to observations at different times and on different frequencies. Conventional model diagnostics provide an aggregate view of model–data agreement, but usually do not...

Using Community Gardens To Help Solve the Hunger Crisis in San Diego County, CA

Creator:: Dusek, Daniel
Abstract:: The World Health Organization defines food security as “all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.” The reality is that one in six Americans are not food secure, even though the US produces enough food to feed its national...

Study of Organic Semiconductors Using Time-Resolved Charge Measurements at the Microscale

Creator:: Wallace, Richard
Abstract:: Understanding charge transfer in organic semiconductors is important for developing devices like organic light emitting diodes and flexible electronics. Optical tweezers have been used in many disciplines for trapping, manipulating, and analyzing microscopic objects such as microspheres, micro-organisms, and other colloidal particles. Using optical tweezers, studies have measured the average...

Mutualistic Co-evolution of Type III Effector Genes in Sinorhizobium fredii and Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Creator:: Kimbrel, Jeffrey A., Thomas, William J., Jiang, Yuan, Creason, Allison L., Thireault, Caitlin A., Sachs, Joel L., and Chang, Jeff H.
Abstract:: Two diametric paradigms have been proposed to model the molecular co-evolution of microbial mutualists and their eukaryotic hosts. In one, mutualist and host exhibit an antagonistic arms race and each partner evolves rapidly to maximize their own fitness from the interaction at potential expense of the other. In the opposing...
