Exploring Academic Libraries' Core Values, Julia K. Nims Jan 2023

Exploring Academic Libraries' Core Values, Julia K. Nims

Faculty Scholarship 2023

Many academic libraries create mission and vision statements to communicate their purpose, priorities, and aspirations to both internal and external stakeholders. Core values, which express a library’s guiding principles or behaviors, are often included as part of these foundational documents. However, while there is already a significant and growing body of literature examining academic library mission and vision statements, such as their inclusion of specific library roles or functions, far less attention has been paid to libraries’ core values. To better understand these public declarations of convictions, the core values from 24 academic libraries in Michigan and Ohio were collected …

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

Over a period of approximately 1000 years, from the Hellenistic to the Early Islamic period, the northern Negev underwent many changes. During the Byzantine period, the population of the northern Negev reached its peak in terms of number of inhabitants and settlements. By the mid-fifth century CE, the majority of the local population was Christian; however, at no point in time was only one religion practiced in this region, as classical and other forms of paganism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and different combinations thereof, were practiced simultaneously. This paper considers the change in the religion of the local population, focusing …

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

The excavation of small hamlets and farmhouses at Rahat, in the northern Negev, uncovered two modest mosques, each measuring around 6 × 5 m and including a prayer niche (miḥrab) that protrudes from their southern wall toward Mecca. Dating to the Umayyad and early Abbasid periods, the structures constitute the first rural mosques in the northern Negev. While mosques were a familiar feature in contemporary cities, they scarcely appear in the countryside, where Islam spread out in a gradual, drawn-out process. The discovery of the Rahat mosques indicates that Islam reached this part of the countryside rather early. The question …

تغلغل الإسلام في الأراضي المقدسة النائية - منظر أثري من النقب / The Penetration Of Islam To The Remote Holy Land: An Archaeological View From The Negev, Gideon Avni

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

Several mosques were recently associated with the widespread settlement network that existed in the Negev Highlands from the sixth to the eighth century CE. These include mosques that were built in urban settlements or adjacent to rural ones, and mosques that served the Negev Highlands’ nomadic populations. The chronological framework of the early mosques, their connection to dated settlements, and the formal relations between the earlier sites and the mosques, seem to point to a gradual penetration of Islam into southern Palestine rather than a swift adoption of canonical Islam in the wake of a single wave of conquest.

Thousands of photographs scattered in archives across the globe depict the countryside landscapes of Syria-Palestine since the mid-nineteenth century. In addition, aerial photography in the Near East, much developed since World War I, became a useful tool for archaeologists, providing new angles for evaluating the location and distribution of ancient sites and their surrounding agricultural or steppe landscapes. These landscapes were usually understood by early travellers and explorers to reflect the authentic biblical or New Testament sceneries. Modern scholarship has occasionally adopted this approach, linking between the traditional agricultural landscapes of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the remains …

The excavation of the pit was challenging, as it contained thousands of broken bowls and chalices exhibiting soot remains, probably of incense; fragments of small incense-altars made of stone and clay; dozens of broken pottery censers—bowl-like vessels that …

Using Unfolding Case Studies To Develop Critical Thinking In First-Semester Nursing Students, Carol Cook

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

There is a crisis in competency among new nurses in the United States. Prelicensure nursing education prepares them to pass the NCLEX-RN, but it does not provide the necessary foundation for sound clinical decision-making. Mistakes in the clinical setting can lead to failure to rescue, resulting in the third leading cause of death: medical error. A radical change is needed to prepare nurses with the clinical judgment skills necessary for patient care. Educators must be mindful of the academic-practice gap and adopt evidence-based improvements, including active learning with unfolding case studies. This quality improvement project involved a four-part unfolding case …
