The Evolving Role Of Information Literacy In Higher Education: A Case Study, Linda Poston

The Christian Librarian

The desire of librarians at Nyack College, like other academic librarians, is to play a significant role in the development of effective research and critical thinking skills in the community we serve. But the challenges of having no room for a 1-credit required course in the core curriculum, cultivating faculty and student ownership of a campus-wide information literacy program, the integration of information literacy skills at the discipline, course and assignment levels, and development of appropriate assessment tools for measuring the effectiveness of the information literacy program seemed daunting.

What About An Information Literacy Chapel?, Gerald Franz Ph.D.

The Christian Librarian

Information Literacy chapels can be an effective means to supplement other library education strategies. They offer a unique opportunity to address the entire student body at one time. They should not be run as a class, but rather as a creative presentation that makes a few points well. Audiovisual presentations and audience participation can enhance the appeal and learning.

Energy Value In Llamas (Lama Glama) Fed With Alfalfa Hay (Modicago Sativa) And Barley (Hordeum Vulgare) For Apparent Digestibility In Vivo In The National Camelid Germplasm Bank (Ceac), Edwin Gonzalo Ugarte Huanca

Theses and Dissertations

In this experiment, we used four male llamas that were three to four years of age from the Khara race. They were divided into two ad libitum feeding groups. The digestible energy (ED) was determined using samples that were sent to the laboratory. These samples were derived from a conventional in vivo assay using the method of total fecal collection in order to determine the difference between energy consumed and energy excreted. Metabolizable energy was calculated by deducting digestible energy, energy loss in the urine and energy loss in the gases (methane). Urinary energy was determined through the measurement of …

Till Death Do Us Part: Marriage, Hiv/Aids And The Law In Zimbabwe, Slyvia Chirawu

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that marriage, cultural practices, and legal frameworks in Zimbabwe disproportionately expose women to HIV/AIDS, with marriage paradoxically increasing their vulnerability despite societal expectations of protection. It contends that legal reforms alone are insufficient to address this issue, emphasizing the need for transformative gender equity to challenge the deeply rooted power imbalances and cultural norms that perpetuate women's susceptibility to HIV infection.

Soil Organic Carbon Changes In Diversified Rotations Of The Western Corn Belt, Gary E. Varvel

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Sequestration and storage of carbon (C) by agricultural soils has been cited as one potential part of the solution to soil degradation and global climate change. However, C sequestration in soils is a slow and dynamic process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of crop rotation and N fertilizer management on soil organic C (SOC) levels at several points in time during 18 yr of a long-term study in the Western Corn Belt. Seven cropping systems (three monoculture, two 2-yr, and two 4-yr rotations) with three levels of N fertilizer were compared. Soil samples were taken …

A New I Do: Towards A Marriage-Neutral Income Tax, Shari Motro

Law Faculty Publications

The federal income tax system treats married couples as if each spouse earned approximately one-half of the couple's combined income through a mechanism called "income splitting. " For many one-earner and unequal-earner couples, income splitting produces a significant advantage, a "marriage bonus," by shifting income from higher to lower rate brackets. Marriage-based income splitting relies on a presumption that marriage is a good indicator of economic unity between two taxpayers. It is not. Marriage does not require spousal sharing, and many unmarried couples share everything they earn. As a result, the current system extends the benefit of income splitting to …

Speech Of Government Employees, Ann C. Hodges

Law Faculty Publications

For many years, government employment was considered a privilege rather than a right, and, as a result, the government could place restrictions on employee speech that would be unconstitutional if applied to citizens.

Jurisdiction And Discretion In Hybrid Law Cases, John F. Preis

Law Faculty Publications

An everlasting debate in the federal courts field is which branch of the federal government has the power to control federal jurisdiction. While some commentators and judges assert that the judiciary has the implicit authority to refine the boundaries of its jurisdiction, others argue that Article III vests that authority with Congress only and judicial modification of jurisdiction is illegitimate. In focusing almost entirely on the constitutional legitimacy of the question, this debate has overlooked an important consideration: Even if the judiciary may legitimately wield discretion in setting its jurisdiction, is such discretion functionally appropriate?

This Article argues that such …

Constitutional Lessons For The Next Generation Of Public Single-Sex Elementary And Secondary Schools, Kimberly J. Robinson

Law Faculty Publications

Single-sex public elementary and secondary schools are making a comeback. School districts are structuring these schools in a variety of ways, including by providing a single-sex public school for only one sex or by offering single-sex schools for both sexes. These disparate structures of single-sex schools create distinct potential harms, risks, and benefits for students. This Article contends that the constitutional framework applied to single-sex schools should be systematically modified to recognize the different potential harms, risks, and benefits of these single-sex schools in a manner that will create optimal conditions for creating single-sex public schools. The proposed modifications address …

[Introduction To] On The Drafting Of Tribal Constitutions, Felix S. Cohen, David E. Wilkins (Editor)

Bookshelf

Felix Cohen (1907-1953) was a leading architect of the Indian New Deal and steadfast champion of American Indian rights. Appointed to the Department of the Interior in 1933, he helped draft the Indian Reorganization Act (1934) and chaired a committee charged with assisting tribes in organizing their governments. His "Basic Memorandum on Drafting of Tribal Constitutions," submitted in November 1934, provided practical guidelines for that effort.

Largely forgotten until Cohen's papers were released more than half a century later, the memorandum now receives the attention it has long deserved. David E. Wilkins presents the entire work, edited and introduced with …

The False Dichotomy Of Rape Trauma Syndrome, Holly Hogan

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques the legal system's distinction between offensive and defensive uses of Rape Trauma Syndrome (RTS) testimony, arguing that this dichotomy is flawed. It contends that even testimony categorized as defensive often functions offensively by influencing the jury's perception of the victim's credibility. The article proposes a functional approach to evaluating RTS testimony, focusing on whether it vouches for the victim's credibility or explains counterintuitive behaviors, rather than adhering to the formal offensive/defensive framework.

Trials & Errors: The Rights Of The Korean Comfort Women And The Wrongful Dismissal Of The Joo Case By The District Of Columbia Federal Courts, L. David Nefouse

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the U.S. courts erred in dismissing the Joo case, which sought justice for Korean Comfort Women against Japan. It contends that the dismissals were based on flawed legal analyses, particularly regarding sovereign immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) and the political question doctrine. The author advocates for the women's right to a judicial hearing under U.S. and international law, emphasizing the need for accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Tale Of Two Systems: How Integrated Divorce Laws Can Remedy The Unintended Effects Of Pure No-Fault Divorce, Karen Turnage Boyd

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques the unintended consequences of pure no-fault divorce laws, arguing that they fail to protect the economic and emotional well-being of innocent spouses, particularly women and homemakers. It advocates for an integrated divorce system that combines fault and no-fault grounds, using Georgia's approach as a model. This hybrid system would allow courts to consider fault in property distribution and spousal support, providing greater protections for vulnerable parties while maintaining the flexibility of no-fault divorce.

What's The Hold-Up? Making The Case For Lifetime Orders Of Protection In New York State, Jennifer Rios

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note advocates for the implementation of lifetime or extended orders of protection in New York State to better safeguard domestic violence victims. It highlights the limitations of the current legal framework, which requires victims to repeatedly seek renewals of protective orders, and argues that longer or indefinite orders would reduce trauma and enhance safety. The analysis draws on comparative examples from states like New Jersey and California to support its proposal for stronger legal measures.

Drinking From A Deep Well: The Public Trust Doctrine And Western Water Law, Carol N. Brown

Law Faculty Publications

American water law reflects the diverse geography and population patterns of this expansive country.1 In the eastern states, where water is rather abundant, the doctrine of riparian rights dominates water law.2 The arid western states, in contrast, rejected the doctrine of riparian rights in favor of the doctrine of prior appropriation due to a natural scarcity of water and increasing population growth.3 The western states provide fertile ground to consider the burdens of a rapidly growing region on already scarce water resources.4 My thesis is that the public trust doctrine is being underutilized by the states and that the optimal …
