Finding The Golden Mean: An Efficient Model For Improving Discovery And Access For Legacy Theses And Dissertations In A Medical Library’S Institutional Repository, Brandon Pieczko

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Developing an efficient and cost-effective method for providing access to legacy print theses and dissertations is a challenge faced by many libraries that serve medical schools and other academic health science programs. The significant staff time and financial cost associated with systematically digitizing and providing complete online access to print theses and dissertations can be problematic given the potentially limited return on that investment as reflected in patron use statistics and other metrics. This presentation will describe how a medical school library improved the discoverability and accessibility of its legacy print theses and dissertations by implementing a cost-effective, selective digitization …

The Honor Framework: Empowering Adolescent Girls To Address Violence, Naelijwa Manongi, Joel Raveloharimisy

Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association

Adolescent girls worldwide are subject to various forms of violence, such as corporal punishment and sexual abuse inflicted by family members, caregivers, and school violence. Girls are particularly vulnerable to gender-based violence, including sexual violence, exploitation, abuse, forced marriage, and human trafficking. While there is evidence that violence can be prevented, high rates of violence persist, and girls require empowerment and honor-based strategies to reclaim their power. Violence can have severe physical, psychological, and social consequences, making it crucial to address the issue. In this paper, we propose the HONOR framework. This approach combines Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Development …

New, New, New: Uab’S New Repository On A New Platform With A New Librarian, Amy Reese

Southern Miss Institutional Repository Conference

The University of Alabama at Birmingham is launching a new open access repository using the Digital Commons platform. I was hired to make this happen. Starting with nothing, my first question was, so now what? I will discuss the challenges faced with having zero institutional knowledge and having a skill set grown under a very different focus. More generally, I will discuss why repositories are important, especially in an age where everyone Googles first. I would like to explore the lie of ubiquitous information, and the role libraries should be playing in promoting unique local content.

Wait, You Don’T Have An Open Access Policy?: Passing An Oa Policy In 2021, Miriam Rigby, Franny Gaede, Catherine Flynn-Purvis, David Condon

Online Northwest

Twenty years after passing a resolution supporting open access, the University of Oregon Faculty Senate passed their first comprehensive Open Scholarship Policy. Library personnel and faculty champions collaborated in this enormous effort over two years. This demanded the recognition of new models of scholarship and the development of new workflows leveraging the institutional repository and other tools. Given faculty hesitancy and uncertainty over mandates and enforcement, significant coalition-building was difficult in the time of COVID-19, but necessary to achieve consensus. We will share our strategies for success and suggestions for how they may be replicated.

Community-Driven Repository Infrastructure Programs At Lyrasis—An Overview, Paolo P. Gujilde, Sheila Rabun, Hannah Rosen

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Academic libraries, and institutional repositories in particular, play a key role in the ongoing quest for ways to gather metrics and connect the dots between researchers and research contributions in order to measure “institutional impact,” while also streamlining workflows to reduce administrative burden. Identifying accurate metrics and measurements for illustrating “impact” is a goal that many academic research institutions share, but these goals can only be met to the extent that all organizations across the research and scholarly communication landscape are using best practices and shared standards in research infrastructure. For example, persistent identifiers (PIDs) such as ORCID iDs (Open …

Going Beyond The Ir: Using Content-Specific Platforms And Targeted Outreach To Provide Integrated Access To A Medical School’S Education Scholarship, Brandon T. Pieczko, Hannah J. Craven

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

To increase local contributions to medical education scholarship, a medical school began hosting an annual school-wide conference in 2020. Two librarians worked proactively with conference organizers to preserve and provide access to presentation materials and session recordings. This targeted outreach became more effective in the second year as students and faculty were invited on the conference submission form to express interest in contributing materials to the university’s institutional repository. The librarians were able to use this list of interested participants to obtain permissions, additional information, and address potential questions rather than relying on a post-hoc solicitation of conference materials. Workflow …

Ur Next Gf: Urine As Next Generation Fertilizer With Meat And Bone Meal Applied On Vigna Radiata (Monggo Plant), Sachie Daniela G. Cheung, Azelea M. Dionisio, Sarah Michaella I. Madayag, Anna Sophia L. Sampang

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

Fertilizers play an important role in providing crops with essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), which supplements plant growth. Compared to synthetically composed commercial fertilizers, next generation fertilizers are manufactured from low-energy mechanisms and are composed of nutrients from repurposed wastes which make them cost-efficient and sustainable. With the objective of determining which would deem to be an effective next generation fertilizer, we focus on human urine and meat and bone meal, to which its processing included solar drying, freezing, grinding, and utilizing additives to prevent fungal growth as well as improve efficacy. Three iterations, …
