Grad Students' Information Seeking: What We Need To Know, Marg Sloan, Kim Mcphee Nov 2013

Grad Students' Information Seeking: What We Need To Know, Marg Sloan, Kim Mcphee

Kim McPhee

Graduate student enrollment is increasing and academic librarians must support this diverse group. How do grad students approach research? What are their stumbling blocks? What do they need from us in order to succeed? We spoke to graduate students in the social sciences and have uncovered the answers to these questions. The results of our research have both informed and streamlined our instruction practice. Find out what our grad students wish all academic librarians knew about them!

Work Motivation And Desirable And Undesirable Personality Traits According To Indian Students And Employees, Trishita Mathew, Richard Hicks, Mark Bahr Jul 2011

Work Motivation And Desirable And Undesirable Personality Traits According To Indian Students And Employees, Trishita Mathew, Richard Hicks, Mark Bahr

Richard Hicks

The last few years have seen a salient increase in trade relations between Australia and India (Hebbani, 2008). India is Australia’s fastest growing major export market and investments between Australia and India are also increasing (Rudd, 2008). India is a lucrative market as it has a growing middle class of 300 million people with a growing purchasing power of approximately 85 billion Australian dollars (Harcourt, 2007). As trade relations between Australia and India are on the rise, understanding what motivates Indians and what they consider desirable and undesirable personality characteristics will provide a competitive edge to organizations in Australia looking …

Downstream Changes In Stream Power In The Henry Mountains, Utah, William Graf Dec 2010

Downstream Changes In Stream Power In The Henry Mountains, Utah, William Graf

William L. Graf

Total stream power does not necessarily increase systematically in the downstream direction because of the conflicting influences of channel slope, width, and depth. Historical records and field data for arroyo systems of the northern Henry Mountains, south-central Utah, show that total stream power decreased in the downstream direction during a deposition period before 1896 and increased downstream during an erosion period thereafter. When total stream power declined in the downstream direction, channels were small and meandering, and the ten-year flood exceeded channel capacity, resulting in overbank deposition of sediment. After an especially erosive flood in 1896, total stream power increased …

Fluvial Adjustments To Spread Of Tamarisk In Colorado Plateau Region, William Graf Dec 2010

Fluvial Adjustments To Spread Of Tamarisk In Colorado Plateau Region, William Graf

William L. Graf

Tamarisk, a shrub or low tree that was artificially introduced into the American Southwest in the late 1800s, has spread throughout the Colorado Plateau region by occupying islands, sand bars, and beaches along streams. Historical photographs show that tamarisk spread from northern Arizona to the upper reaches of the Colorado and Green Rivers at a rate of about 20 km/yr. Detailed studies on the Green River in Canyonlands National Park, Utah, show that the plant has trapped and stabilized sediment, causing an average reduction in channel width of 27%. Photogrammetric analysis of historical ground photography, including photos from John Wesley …

Relationship Between Morphology Of Small Streams And Sediment Yield, H. Chang, William Graf, E. Grissinger, H. Guy, W. Osterkamp, G. Parker, S. Trimble, L. Lane Dec 2010

Relationship Between Morphology Of Small Streams And Sediment Yield, H. Chang, William Graf, E. Grissinger, H. Guy, W. Osterkamp, G. Parker, S. Trimble, L. Lane

William L. Graf

The state of the art in the relations between morphology of small streams and sediment yield is assessed. Research findings and recommendations for additional research are presented. Topics include systems and interactions, simulation models, channel forms and processes, transport of sediment in small streams, and aspects of channel morphology. Selected topics for additional research are also included.

Science, Public-Policy, And Western American Rivers, William Graf Dec 2010

Science, Public-Policy, And Western American Rivers, William Graf

William L. Graf

Effective science and well-informed public policy are the avenues to successful management of environmental resources. A critical review of geomorphology, hydrology, and public policy as employed in the management of the river resources of the western United States shows that the endeavours have been poorly connected to each other. Before about 1930, river management disregarded scientific input, while during the New Deal era federal support for river research stimulated a symbiotic relationship between science and policy. Renewed federal funding for research and the emergence of increasingly sophisticated theory and data for rivers during the 1950-1970 period enhanced the connection between …


Streams, Slopes, And Suburban Development, William Graf Dec 2010

Streams, Slopes, And Suburban Development, William Graf

William L. Graf

The percent of available relief in the form of free-face slope and the percent of valley width as floodplain change systematically throughout drainage networks in response to changes in network position. The energy level and discharge of streams at the bases of slopes may be assessed by means of a cumulative stream-ordering system wherein the stream order is directly related to discharge. Investigations of several small drainage basins on the rim of the Denver Basin, Colorado, by means of field measurements, interpretation of aerial photography, and operation of a computer model provide data that indicate that the distribution of near-channel …


The Big Unanswered Questions In Geography, Reginald Golledge, William Graf, Susan Cutter Dec 2010

The Big Unanswered Questions In Geography, Reginald Golledge, William Graf, Susan Cutter

William L. Graf

In noting his fondness for geography, John Noble Wilford, science correspondent for The New York Times, nevertheless challenged the discipline to articulate those big questions in our field, ones that would generate public interest, media attention, and the respect of policymakers. This article presents our collective judgments on those significant issues that warrant disciplinary research. We phrase these as a series of ten questions in the hopes of stimulating a dialogue and collective research agenda for the future and the next generation of geographic professionals.

Rivers, Dams, And Willow Flycatchers: A Summary Of Their Science And Policy Connections, William Graf, Julie Stromberg, Brad Valentine Dec 2010

Rivers, Dams, And Willow Flycatchers: A Summary Of Their Science And Policy Connections, William Graf, Julie Stromberg, Brad Valentine

William L. Graf

The southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) is a riparian bird that spends winter months in Central and South America and summer breeding months in riparian zones of the American Southwest. Decline of the willow flycatcher population to less than 1000 breeding pairs prompted the Federal government to declare the species endangered, triggering a major recovery effort. The most important aspect of recovery is management and improvement of the riparian habitat of the bird population. Although the direct management of the species is primarily a biological issue, fluvial hydrology and geomorphology play an important role in understanding the dynamics of …


Mining And Channel Response, William Graf Dec 2010

Mining And Channel Response, William Graf

William L. Graf

Gold and silver mining activities in the Central City District, Colorado, caused severe disruption of the landscape. Central City is typical of mountain mining towns with clearly defined periods of discovery and settlement, bonanza, investment, development, and, finally, decline. Arroyos and gullies developed on many valley floors as responses to increases in channel tractive force from 1 dyne before settlement to 8 dynes during the mining period. The spatial distribution of energy and force has been substantially altered by human activities. Threshold values of erosive force were surpassed in response to changes in general basin vegetation cover, valley floor vegetation, …
