Catholic Intellectual Tradition

In the 2015 Papal Encyclical. Laudata Si', Pope Francis encourage "people of good will" to engage in an "intense dialogue" between science and religion as a way to address environmental issues such as global warming.

Measuring Baseline Data For Linear Solenoids Used In Late- Model Automatic Transmissions, Sean Boyle

ASA Multidisciplinary Research Symposium

Can automatic transmission solenoids be adequately tested using common equipment found in a typical transmission repair facility?

Helping Farmers By Helping Consumers Identify Local Food: The Case Of The Appalachian Grown Branding Program, Leah G. Mathews

ASA Annual Conference

As in much of Appalachia, the survival of farms in Western North Carolina is challenged by their small scale, market dynamics, and the uncertainties of historically important crops like tobacco and apples. Previous research identified the high demand for local products in the region as a promising market opportunity for farmers. To take advantage of this opportunity, the Appalachian Sustainable Agricultural Project developed the Appalachian Grown™ regional branding program to identify products from local farms and to protect the integrity of the local market. This study reports on experiments done in three grocery stores designed to develop and test effective …

Addressing Microaggressions: Transgressing The Line Between Professional And Social Activism, Karla Scott, Victoria Defrancisco, Maureen Ebben

Faculty Scholarship

The focus of this workshop is the often overlooked day-to-day wearing down of people in oppressed groups as recipients of microaggressions.

In this hands-on workshop participants will grapple with specific scenarios and be invited to try out different communicative responses and other tools to work toward creating a more inclusive climate for all. The workshop comes from an intersectional feminist perspective, shinning a light on oppressive behaviors …

Do You Know What They Don’T Know? : How Students Conduct Research, Peggy L. Nuhn, Min Tong

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

When developing student research assignments, many faculty may make the assumption that the current generation of computer-savvy students will intuitively determine how to effectively use library resources, and incorporate that information into a thoughtful and properly cited research paper -- after all, students frequently express a high level of confidence in their research abilities. But is this realistic? Do students understand the difference between a keyword and a subject search and how that understanding can help them? Do students really understand that research is a process rather than a scavenger hunt?

Any faculty member who has received student research papers …

Informed Learning, Information Literacy, And Scholarly Communication: Library Pedagogy As A Bridge To The Disciplines, Kim L. Ranger

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

This paper explores collaboration between librarians and faculty in higher education to construct connections between informed learning theory, information literacy practice, and disciplinary scholarly products to foster reflective and deep engagement with information.

Increasing digital innovations in communication and pedagogy, the need for various literacy capabilities, and the potential wisdom gained from considering diverse methodological perspectives have driven the need for interdisciplinary collaboration (Witt, 2012). There have also been several calls for a relational approach to teaching and learning, changing the roles of librarians (Farrell and Badke, 2015; Gunton et al, 2014; Jaguszewski and Williams, 2013), and scholarship which examines …
