Reaching Our Students Using Instagram, #Hashtags, And National Library Week, Mallory R. Jallas, Stephanie Bowen

All Musselman Library Staff Works

Academic librarians are striving to outreach and promote libraries to students where they are. We oftentimes find ourselves asking… how do we find the students and how do we interact? At Gettysburg College we tackled these questions and devised engagement opportunities using social media and anchoring activities around popular spaces in the library. Our session will explain the planning, execution, and assessment of our projects and how it can be adapted to other libraries.

Exurban Residents’ Perceptions Of Naturally Returning Predators: Connecticut Case Study, Margaret E. Sackrider, Susan G. Clark, Isaac M. Ortega

Yale Day of Data

As a result of reforestation, growth of exurban areas and wildlife adaptation, it is believed that the public is currently encountering more human-wildlife conflicts than ever before. The key to balancing wildlife conservation and human development is understanding the dynamic relationship between humans and carnivores. Specifically, gaining insight into the complexity of this relationship will aide in the creation of more effective conservation policy and outreach.

Reforestation throughout Connecticut has supported a tremendous population growth of pray species and subsequently the growth of predator populations including coyotes, Canis latrans, and black bears, Ursus americanus. According to some biologists, …

Tina Cassara And David Sapp:Threads, Lines, Traces, Ann Albano

Octavofest

Opening reception for exhibition Threads, Lines, Traces on Sept. 18 from 5-8 pm with talks by artist Tina Cassara and artist, poet and novelist David Sapp at 6:15 pm.

Threads, Lines, Traces draws upon a subtle interplay between the line of a fiber construction, a graphite line drawn on paper and line as word. Tina Cassara's most recent fiber-based work directly influenced David Sapp's 2014 graphite on paper drawings. Cassara, with computer aided embroidery and subsequent handwork, always in black thread, creates exceedingly delicate, three dimensional, wall hung pieces. Earlier work is made up of complexly interlocked, densely stacked, delineated …

Exhibit: Tina Cassara And David Sapp:Threads, Lines, Traces, Ann Albano

Octavofest

Threads, Lines, Traces draws upon a subtle interplay between the line of a fiber construction, a graphite line drawn on paper and line as word. Tina Cassara's most recent fiber-based work directly influenced David Sapp's 2014 graphite on paper drawings. Cassara, with computer aided embroidery and subsequent handwork, always in black thread, creates exceedingly delicate, three dimensional, wall hung pieces. Earlier work is made up of complexly interlocked, densely stacked, delineated words from immigrant working women's songs. In her current work, Cassara is moving to abstracted, open, subtly repeating, interlinked forms that drape away from the wall into space, swaying …

Your Life With Type Ii Diabetes: The Relationship Between Overall Health With And Without Diabetes, Cory Brandt, Jessika Jackson, Helen W. Bland

GS4 Student Scholars Symposium

The purpose of this study is to assess the behavior of patients with Type 2 Diabetes and their ability to maintain a healthy and unassisted lifestyle. Research has shown showed that adults, especially older adults, with T2D will live a less healthy and more assisted lifestyle. In the United States it’s estimated that 25.6 million adults have T2D and another 79 million are at beginning stages of T2D (Kanaya, Gregorich, & Grossman, 2012). There are numerous health behaviors that can affect the risk of having T2D (Basha & Sunnarao, 2012). The instrument used in this study was a 17-question behavioral …

Parental Feeding Behavior: Influences On Elementary Children's Health, Cydni Martin, Jennifer Paquin, Helen W. Bland

GS4 Student Scholars Symposium

The purpose of this study was to assess the nutrition and physical activity of children. The hypothesis was that parental feeding styles will influence the healthy eating habits and physical activity among children. Childhood obesity has been called one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century (World Health Organization, n.d). In the past 30 years, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013). The research design used was a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, self-reported study in which a 27-question survey measured the parents’ child feeding behavior …

The Tool Library: From Information To Implementation, Matt Lalonde, Karen Schmidt

The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning

In 2012, Matt LaLonde was engaged in IWU’s service learning program, the Action Research Center. While working on research for another topic, he discovered a tool library in Philadelphia. Matt’s research led to the establishment of a fully functional tool library in Bloomington, IL. Matt will discuss his research and work on this project; Karen will discuss the service learning program and how this service project engages both primary and secondary resources.

The Library As Social Contract: Linking Information Literacy And Practice In A Service Learning-Based Context, Michael Courtney

The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning

Service learning can dramatically increase opportunities for librarian and teaching faculty collaboration, broadening the librarian’s role in curriculum design and creating a fluid social contract with students. Such engagement positions the library as a dynamic partner in civic education. This presentation will discuss the collaboration between the Indiana University Libraries and the ACE (Advocates for Community Engagement) Program. The presentation will focus specifically on several innovative approaches used in strengthening information literacy within a service learning context as well as methods for creating and collaborating with campus and community partners in an academic library context.

Read Across The County: Campus Literacy Outreach, Erica Franklin, Michelle Martin

The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning

This year, Burlington County College became the first college in the nation to partner with First Book, a nonprofit social enterprise, to distribute 40,000 books to children in need. This is a comprehensive service-learning initiative that includes English students researching eligible communities, identifying qualified recipients, and conducting assessment of the project’s impact. This initiative is a step toward eliminating illiteracy and the obstacles children face when they don’t have books at home. The Burlington County Library System plays an integral part in making this possible. Workshop attendees will receive tools to replicate the project with their community colleges and libraries.

Information In The Real World: Building A Bridge Between Academic And Community Information Through Service Learning, Megan R. Stark

The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning

Presentation will address differences between academic information and information in the real world, including its arrangement, collection and creation. Presentation will demonstrate how UM Libraries restructured information literacy workshops for service learning courses to teach students to build a bridge between abstract, scholarly sources and community information. We found that teaching students to find, value and use community information in addition to academic materials promoted their ability to interact in service environments with increased sophistication. Will allow opportunities for discussion and application at attendees' institution.

“Building Bridges At ‘The People’S University’: Supporting Faculty Pursuits To Develop Service-Learning Research”, Hillary A H Richardson, April Heiselt, Noelle Avenmarg

The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning

In an effort to provide faculty at a 4-year, land-grant research institution with resources to research and publish their service-learning pedagogy, Mississippi State Libraries formed a partnership with the Center for the Advancement of Service-Learning Excellence (CASLE). This presentation highlights the methods for beginning a partnership, including ideas like the creation of a service-learning liaison, a LibGuide, developing a service-learning collection, and connecting faculty to service-learning research in their specific fields. Additionally, the presentation includes a guide on forming and sustaining partnerships between academic libraries and service-learning entities.
