The Role Of Academic Libraries In Restoring Quality Teaching And Learning In Education For Sustainable Development In Nigeria, Muhammad Kabir Abubakar

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The quality of teaching and learning is the key to sustainable development. This has inspired innumerable educational stakeholders to search for means of restoring quality teaching and learning in Nigeria’s education system. To accomplish this, significant epistemological efforts have been made over the years on teaching methods/models, student learning styles, and curriculum content reforms. However, the role of academic libraries has not been given any significant consideration. It is, therefore, the conviction of this paper that sustainable development depends profoundly on the availability of information provided and accessed through a well-managed library for effective teaching, learning, and research.

The Need To Return The Values Of Human Inquiry To Scholarly Communication With Emily Ford, Emily Ford

PDXPLORES Podcast

Corresponding published article https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/ulib_fac/346/.

In this episode of PDXPLORES, Emily Ford, a professor in the Millar Library at Portland State University, discusses the lived experiences of peer review, a small but landmark part of scholarly communications. Ford argues that proprietary publishing has influenced many of the processes in the scholarly publishing ecosystem, resulting in a need to reapply the values of human inquiry to scholarly communications. Drawing from her research, Ford suggests how the academic community might address this need.

Outcomes And Artifacts: Assessing For Learning In An Online Graduate Course, Brenna Helmstutler, Rebecca Miller Waltz

Librarian Publications

Many instruction librarians struggle with reconciling the need to authentically assess our teaching with the constraints placed around the type of teaching we do. In other words, how do we know if our students are meeting our goals for them if we never see how they are integrating and using what we’re teaching? This article explores a solution: the implementation of an artifact assessment for a final project within a course supported by a liaison librarian. The authors of this article —one a liaison librarian at Syracuse and the other an adjunct instructor (who also serves as a librarian at …

The article refers to key developments in the epigraphy and paleography of the premodern period. It draws primarily on work in classical studies but also highlights related work in the adjacent disciplines of Egyptology, ancient Near East studies, and medieval studies. The argument makes a case that much has been achieved but it does not declare …

The Divine Consumptive: The Depiction Of Tuberculosis In Jane Eyre, Haley Highfield

Theses and Dissertations

Disease was a constant and unavoidable facet of life in British society during the Victorian Era. Despite the overwhelming prevalence of disease, the true cause of these illnesses remained mysterious until the turn of the century. With the origins of many of these diseases being either unknown or ascribed to mistaken sources, effective treatment was an impossibility. Tuberculosis is a prime example of this conundrum. Even with an estimated twenty-five percent of the British population dying from this particular disease during the nineteenth century, the actual provenance for infection was not discovered until 1882 with Robert Koch’s identification of the …
