Prison Overcrowding: A Comprehensive Evaluation Tool For Early Release, Thomas Stasa
Prison Overcrowding: A Comprehensive Evaluation Tool For Early Release, Thomas Stasa
Honors Projects
Prison overcrowding has become a topic of national conversation over the last decade. Numerous court cases have come to fruition because of the poor living conditions experienced by inmates while incarcerated. Prior court cases, such as Estelle v. Gamble (1976) and Brennan v. Farmer (1994), have ruled that inmates must be afforded the constitutional rights established under the Eighth Amendment while incarcerated. Recent court cases, including Plata v. Brown (2011), have affirmed inmates’ claims that current prison conditions are a violation of these constitutional rights. To correct these violations, prisons must reduce their populations below a court established maximum. This …

Effects Of Hippotherapy On Coordination Of Speech In A Person With Traumatic Brain Injury, Anna Thrall, Matthew Moser
Effects Of Hippotherapy On Coordination Of Speech In A Person With Traumatic Brain Injury, Anna Thrall, Matthew Moser
Honors Projects
Hippotherapy occurs when physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speechlanguage pathologists use the movement of a horse as a treatment strategy. Previous research has documented improvements in gross motor function such as walking, reaching, standing, balance, and trunk control following treatment that incorporates hippotherapy. However, no study to date has investigated the effect of hippotherapy on fine motor control functions such as speech. The purpose of the study was to complete a pilot investigation of the effects of hippotherapy on speech motor control in one person with traumatic brain injury. The treatment records of a 24 yearold woman with TBI who …

Undergraduate Learning In Libraries: Space Design For Academic Course Transformation And Re-Thinking Campus Culture, Ilana Stonebraker, Tomalee Doan
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
At Purdue University, the Libraries participate in a provost-initiated, campus-wide course redesign program for student success called Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT). As part of the campus strategic plan, this program aims to bring active learning to foundational courses traditionally taught through lectures.

Building Fundraising Momentum: Message, Relationship, And Alliance Essentials, Mary M. Somerville
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
Inquiry-based and user-centered facility design catalyzes constituency engagement, creates shared vision, and builds stakeholder partnerships through signature ‘participatory action research’ and ‘library as lab’ initiatives that advance collective learning and energize renovation planning in the library and on campus. This user-centered design approach also informs energetic fundraising strategies which produce $32.8 million in multi-year State appropriations and cash contributions. Essential elements - creating messages, furthering relationships, and forging alliances - invigorate the capital campaign and sustain renovation fundraising momentum.

Where You And I Are Going To Spend The Rest Of Our Lives: What A Future Library Looks Like When There Is No There... There., Corey Seeman
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
Academic libraries have long envisioned a future where new services and functions are added to our existing structure of student and collection space. However, our future might be more driven not by what we gain, but by what we lose. In this presentation, a library that went through a massive change learned more quickly about the “library of the future” when they lost both student and collection space during a massive construction project. This presentation will share how the staff at this library adapted from a full service library to an information service unit; the service model of an “ethereal …
From Dandelion Seed To Cottage Garden: The Transformation Of User Experience In The Msu Libraries, Christine Tobias
From Dandelion Seed To Cottage Garden: The Transformation Of User Experience In The Msu Libraries, Christine Tobias
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
The user experience movement is gaining momentum in libraries, but its adoption and adaptation into an organizational culture may present unexpected challenges. In June 2014, the Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries created a User Experience unit and in a short time, established a solid and reputable team of practitioners. This success, however, was not achieved overnight. User experience work tends to be team-oriented and project-based, and initially, unit members struggled to adapt their roles within the unit and the unit’s role within the organization. To guide the unit forward, an in-house retreat was held to give unit members an opportunity …
The Library As A Social Contract: Lessons Learned, Jeffrey A. Scherer
The Library As A Social Contract: Lessons Learned, Jeffrey A. Scherer
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
This paper is based on the premise that how humans are treated and their needs met defines a community culture. Cultures that do not meet the needs of their people will wither. It is a very personal statement and is not intended to be a lengthy treatise of library technologies, collections, service models or architecture. It focuses on the messiness of dealing with the complex realities of today’s culture and the intersection of the library as a place of service and a sustainable part of a community.
From The Commons To The Spartan Floor: Enhancing Digital Literacy Through Technology-Integrated Spaces, Christina Mune, Sharon Thompson
From The Commons To The Spartan Floor: Enhancing Digital Literacy Through Technology-Integrated Spaces, Christina Mune, Sharon Thompson
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
San José State University’s Spartan Floor represents a suite of services and spaces designed to promote digital literacy amongst university library patrons. This happens through the use of formal and informal knowledge transfer – technology training workshops, front-line hardware and software support, integrated collaborative technologies – in spaces strategically collocated so that students have staff support or resource access when and where the digital literacy need emerges. A variety of data-driven methods are employed to assess space usage, services, and collections on the Spartan Floor. Some or all of these services, spaces, and methods can be recreated by libraries interested …

Excuse Me. Is That A Video Studio In Your Library?, Lori S. Mestre, Eric Kurt
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
Although many faculty now require student projects to be presented in a multimodal format, it is rarely feasible for each department or school to acquire all of the technology needed to support those efforts or to require that each student purchase the equipment. This article provides details of the Video Production Studio in the Media Commons at the Undergraduate Library, which serves as a centralized service space that houses a robust loanable technology program and collaborative studios that facilitates the creation of video and audio projects. It is an environment that helps to foster discussion and collaboration from students and …

Building A Peer-Learning Service For Students In An Academic Library, Mary O'Kelly, Julie Garrison, Brian Merry, Jennifer Torreano
Scholarly Papers and Articles
Academic libraries are well lauded for offering supportive spaces for students’ self-directed study, and significant resources are dedicated to librarian instruction in the classroom. What many academic libraries lack, however, is a middle ground, a routine way for students to help one another using best practices in peer-to-peer learning theory. A new, nonauthoritative, supplemental service by students and for students began at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI, in fall 2012 with a cohort of “peer research consultants.” Students learn information literacy skills with a well-trained peer, untethered from the hierarchy inherent in formal instruction environments. This paper describes …

How Technology Is Killing Privacy, John Alexander
How Technology Is Killing Privacy, John Alexander
Honors Projects
Privacy concerns seem to come up daily in the news these days, whether it be government spying through the NSA or people willingly giving information about themselves away on social media. It seems as if no one has any privacy anymore. As actor Will Smith said in a recent interview on the show ‘Vecherniy Urgant’, “I was very dumb when I was 14. See, no Twitter, no Facebook when I was 14. So I was dumb, but I was dumb in private.” His view is a common one – that people, especially young people, are being exposed to privacy risks …
Gay And Greek: The Deployment Of Gender By Gay Men In Fraternity And Sorority Life, Anthony Clemons
Gay And Greek: The Deployment Of Gender By Gay Men In Fraternity And Sorority Life, Anthony Clemons
Honors Projects
This paper explores the deployment of gender by gay males in fraternities. Using data from 17 qualitative interviews, it is suggested that there are strict rules of hegemonic masculinity embedded in fraternity life where members value heterosexuality. This leads gay men in fraternities to conceal behavior socially labeled as “gay” and therefore nonmasculine. Gay members create special intragroup networks within their organizations where they aim to find validation and support that they may not receive from the rest of their brothers. The author argues that gay men’s experiences in fraternities influence how these men choose to strategically deploy their gender.

Student Achievement, Spending, And Accountability In Charter Schools, Virtual Schools, And Traditional Schools, Kimberly Osbeck
Honors Projects
This paper explores the student achievement, spending, and accountability in charter schools and virtual schools across the nation, as well as Michigan-specific information. The articles vary in their approaches to assessing student achievement, but most utilized state assessments to compare charter and virtual schools to traditional schools and state reports to measure spending. A review of the current literature found that charter schools, on average, perform at a similar level to their traditional school counterparts. Virtual schools, specifically K-12 Inc., are performing significantly below traditional schools. In terms of spending, the current literature found that charter schools and virtual schools …

Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms, Problems, And Solutions, Andrea Sageman
Honors Projects
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem in the world today. The Center for Disease Control cited antimicrobial resistance as the second-most significant health threat in 2014 (“CDC year in review: 'Mission: Critical,'” 2014). It is estimated that 23,000 people die from infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria every year, and many more people are hospitalized due to drug resistant strains of microorganisms. Antimicrobial resistance makes treatment of infections more difficult, expensive, and dangerous. (“Antibiotic/Antimicrobial resistance,” 2010) The problems caused by drug resistant bacteria will affect almost everyone working in health care in some capacity, and this issue will likely only …
