Maternal Psychological Distress And Cortsiol, Jenna Schroeder

Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have reported associations between prenatal maternal distress and negative health outcomes for the unborn. There are gaps within this body of knowledge and inconsistencies in the research which make the relevant relationships unclear. If changes in maternal cortisol cause alterations in fetal development, it is important to gain an adequate understanding of how, and if, maternal psychological distress predicts maternal cortisol levels. This study is an integrative literature review that looks at the research investigating a connection between maternal psychological distress and maternal cortisol levels during pregnancy. Lazarus and Folkman’s (1984) Transactional Model of Stress and …

Weaving Connections: Utilizing A Library-Social Work Partnership To Build Information Literacy Skills, David Vess, Laura Trull

Libraries

While evidence continues to build that information literacy (IL) is taught across university and college curricula at all student levels (Junsbai, Lowe & Tagge, 2016), challenges connecting IL to those curricula in meaningful ways persist (Julien, Gross, & Latham, 2018; Klomsri & Tedre, 2016; Bombaro 2013). Blending IL into social work education beyond traditional one-shot library sessions also remains a challenge as evidenced by the dearth of literature demonstrating sound instruction and assessment practices of IL in social work programs (Bausman & Ward, 2016; Kayser, Bowers, Jiang, & Bussey 2013; Johnson, Whitfield, & Grohe, 2011; Ismail, 2009; Brustman & Bernnard …

Does Your Mom Download? Taking Your Library Podcast To The Next Level!, Angie Gentile-Jordan, Mary Jordan

Library Technology Conference

Podcasts are a great way of sharing information and making connections. As they become more mainstream, even your mom can download episodes – so we think your community is ready for more from you. An increasing number of libraries are dipping their toes into the podcasting, and we have to say: Come on in! The water’s fine!

We get it. This is a lot …

Where Are We Now? Gender, Technology, And Libraries, Melissa Prescott, Robin Ewing, Mary O'Dea

Library Technology Conference

A decade ago, research on gender, libraries, and information technology (IT) substantiated the over-representation of men in IT roles within the female-dominated profession of librarianship. At the same time, studies indicated that higher salaries were typically earned by employees in technology-related positions than those working in other library departments. Researchers identified several factors such as gender bias, gender roles, educational access, and organizational culture as barriers to reaching gender parity within the information technology sector of librarianship. In this session, the presenters will discuss the current state of gender and information technology, compared to a decade ago. Specifically, they will …

Walden University students rely heavily on the Library’s popular subject research guides to direct them to the best library resources and to build their research skills.

Library Technology Conference

A 2014 Project Management Institute report names poor communication as one of the leading causes in project failure. Lapses in communication can cause your projects to fail, be inefficient, or take longer than they should. As librarians take on more and more tasks, committee work, and overall responsibility, it becomes crucial to recognize where there are traffic jams, and how you can keep everyone moving on the same journey. You will need a way to keep colleagues up to date, improve the accountability of work, and increase transparency with administration and other stakeholders.

Watson Beyond Jeopardy!: A Look Inside Next-Generation Search Engines, Jay Achenbach, Brooke Roegge

Minnesota’S Digitized Legal Archives, Erica Nutzman, Elizabeth Lincoln

Library Technology Conference

“Is that against the law?” Finding an answer has become a lot easier in the last 10 years. The State of Minnesota has a long legal tradition, but until recently it was all on paper.

In 2006, the library began a database of legal briefs as well. The Office of the Revisor of Statutes publishes the Session Laws, Statutes and Administrative Rules of the state.
