True learning happens when we try new things - when we practice something, see how it goes, and then try it again. Pedagogical practices that encourage metacognition and active reflection are built on this premise. But these practices take time, and university instructors are pressured to cover as much content...
As mobile technologies continue to evolve, libraries seek sustainable ways to keep up with these changes and to best serve our users. Previous library mobile usability research has examined tasks users predict they might be likely to perform, but little is known about what users actually do on a mobile-optimized...
Many libraries offer workshops on research topics such as data management and information organization for graduate students and faculty. We recommend that library workshops focus on teaching skills rather than principles or theories, especially if the goal is to improve data management practices. At Oregon State University Libraries, we have...
This study explores how researchers choose a bibliographic management tool and what makes them continue using this tool. This exploratory, observational study combined a naturalistic work-practice method, interviews, and journal reflections to collect qualitative research data from researchers actively using a bibliographic management tool. The unified theory of acceptance and...
Focus group methodology was used to investigate graduate students' cross-campus technology, space and service needs. Although the library provides valued services and spaces, graduate students need enhanced and more equitable support for their roles as teachers and scholars. Librarians can provide leadership and act as advocates for graduate student needs...
Several types of caneberries are produced commercially in Oregon, including summer-bearing and primo cane fruiting red raspberries, black raspberries (blackcaps), and blackberries. This publication addresses nutrient assessment
and application for caneberries produced in western Oregon.
In this area, caneberries typically are planted on Aloha, Jory, Newburg, Willamette, Woodburn, or Saum...
Students today perform research in a disintermediated environment, which often allows them to struggle directly with the process of selecting research tools and choosing scholarly sources. The authors conducted a qualitative study with twenty students, using structured observations to determine the processes students use to select databases and choose sources...
Несколько видов ягодных культур коммерчески выращивают в штате Орегон, в том числе, летом плодоносящие и плетье-плодоносящие малины (красная и черная) и ежевика то есть ажина. Эта публикация направлена на оценку содержания и внесения питательных веществ, применяющихся в выращивании кустарных ягод в западной части Орегона.
Raspberry and blackberry (Rubus sp.) plantings have a relatively low nutrient requirement compared with many other perennial fruit crops. Knowledge of annual accumulation of nutrients and periods of rapid uptake allows for better management of fertilization programs. Annual total nitrogen (N) accumulation in the aboveground plant ranged from 62 to...
