A Two-Hundred Year History Of Ornithology, Avian Biology, Bird Watching, And Birding In Kansas (1810–2010), Thomas G. Shane Aug 2012

A Two-Hundred Year History Of Ornithology, Avian Biology, Bird Watching, And Birding In Kansas (1810–2010), Thomas G. Shane

Zea E-Books Collection

The first two centuries of bird study in Kansas essentially can be split into 50 year intervals since Zebulon Pike’s 1810 publication, an account of his explorations. The first 50 years were records of explorers crossing Kansas collecting bird specimens; many were Army doctors. The second half of the 19th Century was a continuation of explorers and those affiliated with museums obtaining bird specimens and the establishment of colleges and universities with faculty members also collecting birds and making observations. The first half of the 20th Century was a period of college faculties primarily composed of vertebrate zoologists who had …

Impact Of Salt On Denitrification Potential In Roadside Environments, Nakita A. Lancaster Aug 2012

Impact Of Salt On Denitrification Potential In Roadside Environments, Nakita A. Lancaster

Master's Theses

Urban systems are impacted by changes in hydrology and water chemistry, altering their ability to mitigate detrimental impacts to coastal water bodies, particularly those that result from high volumes of stormwater runoff. The elevated level of impervious cover increases not only runoff but also contaminant loading of nutrients, metals, and road salt used for deicing in cold weather climates. Current stormwater management strategies, while focused on managing the changes in hydrology associated with urbanization, also are designed to mitigate the pollutant loading. Here we investigate the impact that road salt will have on nitrogen removal in roadside environments. Sediments were …

The Domino Effect Of Repository-Based Publishing, Outreach, And Promotion, David Scherer Aug 2012

The Domino Effect Of Repository-Based Publishing, Outreach, And Promotion, David Scherer

Digital Commons Great Lakes User Group Annual Meeting

Technical reports have always posed problems for libraries and librarians. They are often bibliographically inconsistent, difficult to source, and published to varying standards of quality. In some fields, these reports are also large in number and central in importance. In many cases, technical reports are just one of many collections that are tied to a particular research center or group. These research centers or groups may also produce data papers, hosted conference proceedings, and other report series, which may also suffer from many of the same issues facing technical reports. In several situations these research centers and groups are unaware …


Open Education Resources: Collecting, Promoting, And Managing Oer In An Institutional Repository, Sarah Beaubien Aug 2012

Open Education Resources: Collecting, Promoting, And Managing Oer In An Institutional Repository, Sarah Beaubien

Digital Commons Great Lakes User Group Annual Meeting

Open Education Resources (OER) are digital materials used for educational purposes that are intentionally made available to the public. An increasing number of university faculty create and use such resources in their teaching. Partnering with the creators of OER is an excellent way to gather high-quality, unique content for the repository while helping to fulfill the goal of making OER widely available. This session will introduce considerations regarding the value and process of building an OER collection in the repository.

Reverse Transfer: Re-Inventing Face-To-Face Instruction With Online Technologies, Jonathan P. Bacon, Larry Carver, Meg Mcgranaghan, Jim Mcward, Susan Stuart, Ben Ward

SIDLIT Conference

Online students are already online so it's an easy segue to use cloud-based apps; but what about face-to-face instruction? This session will explore best practices for classroom instruction (both F2F and online) and explore the use of several cloud-based applications that may prove valuable to learners and instructors, whether they're enrolled in online or on-ground classes. Among the apps that will be discussed are tools for handling student Q&A, providing collections of online readings, displaying data, gathering student feedback, creating online course materials, and more.


Kickstart, A Targeted Assessment, Discovery, And Population Of Selected Departments On Campus, Barbara Strauss Aug 2012

Kickstart, A Targeted Assessment, Discovery, And Population Of Selected Departments On Campus, Barbara Strauss

Digital Commons Great Lakes User Group Annual Meeting

Through the generous support of Provost Geoffrey Mearns, the Kickstart service was purchased for Cleveland State University’s implementation of Digital Commons, EngagedScholarship@CSU. This outstanding service provided two types of resources to help our repository get off to a quick start. Since our training in early March 2012, we have already entered 1,191 documents and 94 associated SelectedWorks pages. We initially identified 10 departments/units on campus that produced abundant scholarly works. These departments and faculty were targeted for a scan for works in the Web of Knowledge. When results were revealed, we narrowed the field to four units. The works …

Here are three points for discussion. First, how can we become open access advocates? Second, would connecting open access behavior with copyright behavior increase awareness of open access and choosing open access options? And third, how can we strive towards more open OA options?


Identifying And Adding Institutional Repository Content From And For Your Institution’S Affinity Groups, Jon Bull Aug 2012

Identifying And Adding Institutional Repository Content From And For Your Institution’S Affinity Groups, Jon Bull

Digital Commons Great Lakes User Group Annual Meeting

No repository is successful without content to disseminate. We will discuss how IR administrators can go about targeting certain constituencies on their campus with content to share, such as working with subject liaisons in the library to outreach to departments on campus and targeting new incoming faculty and faculty with a research-specific need of the IR, such as a data management plan. We will also consider the impact capstone and research projects from the student body could have on your IR, as well as how to target campus publications struggling to transition to electronic format or faculty who wish to …

Use Of Anticoagulant Rodenticides In Single-Family Neighborhoods Along An Urban-Wildland Interface In California, Monica Bartos, Sylvie Dao, Dale Douk, Stephanie Falzone, Eric Gumerlock, Stephanie Hoekstra, Kaitlin Kelly-Reif, David Mori, Chay Tang, Cassandra Vasquez, Jennifer Ward, Sarah Young, Anita T. Morzillo, Seth P. D. Riley, Travis Longcore

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Urbanization poses many threats for many wildlife species. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, non-target wildlife species are vulnerable to poisoning by rodenticides, especially acutely toxic second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs). Although such poisonings are well documented for birds and mammals worldwide, the pathways by which these widely available compounds reach non-target wildlife have not been adequately studied, particularly in urban landscapes. Long-term studies of wild carnivores in and around Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a national park north of Los Angeles, have documented >85% exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides among bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions. To investigate potential …

Lessons Learned In Student Generated You Tubes: Feedback From Digital Natives To Digital Immigrants, James Ward Aug 2012

Lessons Learned In Student Generated You Tubes: Feedback From Digital Natives To Digital Immigrants, James Ward

SIDLIT Conference

The Web has revolutionized how we work, learn and play. It has empowered adult learners with a range of tools to independently learn and has opened up endless opportunities for instructors in formal programs. It has redefined what it means to be literate. The Web has become a culturally transformative medium. (Brown, 2002). YouTube has become a medium that supports a participatory culture of the digital native, from edutainment, to educational sites. (Cllinton, Purushotma, Robison, and Weigel. 2006) A review of research yields abundant literature on instructor generated videos on YouTube, and student generated digital video story telling projects.

SIDLIT Conference

Universal Design and assistive technology are not just a philosophy and tools that enable students with disabilities to participate in all aspects of an online course. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides “a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.” The session will start with a segment called “Flipping for UDL” which will discuss how to flip your classroom to address universal design for learning. Then each panelist will offer a short, concise concern or suggestion related …
