Migration To Alma/Primo: A Case Study Of Central Washington University, Ping Fu, Julie Carmen Aug 2015

Migration To Alma/Primo: A Case Study Of Central Washington University, Ping Fu, Julie Carmen

Library Scholarship

This paper describes how Central Washington University Libraries (CWUL) interacted and collaborated with the Orbis Cascade Alliance (OCA) Shared Integrated Library System’s (SILS) Implementation Team and Ex Libris to process systems and data migration from Innovative Interfaces Inc.’s Millennium integrated library system to Alma/Primo, Ex Libris’ next-generation library management solution and discovery and delivery solution. A chronological review method was used for this case study to provide an overall picture of key migration events, tasks, and implementation efforts, including pre-migration cleanup, migration forms, integration with external systems, testing, cutover, post-migration cleanup, and reporting and fixing outstanding issues. A three-phase migration …

Do Motivations For Using Facebook Moderate The Association Between Facebook Use And Psychological Well-Being?, James R. Rae, Susan D. Lonborg Jun 2015

Do Motivations For Using Facebook Moderate The Association Between Facebook Use And Psychological Well-Being?, James R. Rae, Susan D. Lonborg

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Previous investigations of the relationship between Facebook use and psychological well-being have most commonly considered variables relating to the quantity (e.g., time spent online) and underlying motivations (e.g., making new friends) of Facebook consumption. However, previous research has reached contradictory conclusions in that quantity of Facebook use has been linked to both higher and lower levels of psychological well-being. The current study investigated whether these contradictory findings of quantity of Facebook use could be explained by considering users’ motivations for accessing Facebook. We predicted that quantity of use would be positively associated with psychological well-being when users primarily accessed Facebook …

Migrating To Alma: The Changing Role Of The Systems Librarian, Ping Fu Jun 2015

Migrating To Alma: The Changing Role Of The Systems Librarian, Ping Fu

Library Scholarship

This presentation will discuss how the roles of systems librarians are expected to change in migrating to Alma from other ILS systems such as Voyager or Aleph. Since Alma is deployed via cloud computing, Ex Libris will centrally implement applications, upgrades, enhancements, etc. Consequently, the roles and responsibilities of systems librarians will be changing, and systems librarians should re-engineer themselves accordingly so that they will be able to support more critical issues in the library.

Using Satellite Image Analysis For Locating Prehistoric Archaeological Sites In Alaska's Central Brooks Range, Robert Hickey, J. Keeney Jun 2015

Using Satellite Image Analysis For Locating Prehistoric Archaeological Sites In Alaska's Central Brooks Range, Robert Hickey, J. Keeney

Geography Faculty Scholarship

In this pilot study, we apply satellite image analysis to archaeological site prospection in Alaska's Brooks Range. Our goal was to test whether satellite remote sensing, which has been successful in locating large archaeological features associated with sedentary peoples, could be applied to arctic interior sites associated with mobile hunter–gatherers. In particular, we strove to develop a relatively straightforward and inexpensive model using existing data which could be used to help guide archaeology surveys. Using 1-m resolution IKONOS imagery of Lake Matcharak along the upper Noatak River, we produced a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and tasseled cap transformation of …

The Effects Of Marijuana Decriminalization On Youth, Nancy Ramirez Hernandez May 2015

The Effects Of Marijuana Decriminalization On Youth, Nancy Ramirez Hernandez

Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)

Research suggests that physical and psychological health problems, as well as the inability to perform well academically and professionally, can be attributed to marijuana use, especially when individuals start smoking or consuming at an early age. Cannabis is not a federally legal substance, thus no regulatory agency exists that assures marijuana and marijuana-laced products are efficient and safe for the public. The lack of this substance’s control has lead to the accidental consumption of marijuana edibles by children, which are a population of particular concern along with adolescents due to the drug’s greater negative effect on their developing brain. Opponents …

The Influence Of Family Upbringing On The Facial Inference Process, Kara Pellegrini, Christopher Benner-Kenagy, Meghan Gilbert, Jacqueline Licea, Jonathan Ojeda, Jordan Segura-Mitchell May 2015

The Influence Of Family Upbringing On The Facial Inference Process, Kara Pellegrini, Christopher Benner-Kenagy, Meghan Gilbert, Jacqueline Licea, Jonathan Ojeda, Jordan Segura-Mitchell

Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)

This study examined personality trait inferences on the basis of facial expressions by showing participants multiple photographs of either one young female face or one young male face, exhibiting three distinct facial expressions. Participants from two parent homes were asked to indicate which parent was more nurturing, and which parent enacted more disciplinary measures. Results demonstrated that responses to these two questions influenced participant trait responses to the angry and sad facial expressions. Results were discussed in terms of overall environmental influence on the inference causal attribution process.

The Relationship Between Gender And Perceived Stress Levels In College Students, Meghan Gilbert May 2015

The Relationship Between Gender And Perceived Stress Levels In College Students, Meghan Gilbert

Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)

Previous research on stress in adults demonstrates that stress, even perceived stress, can take a toll on an individual’s health. Research also indicates that the severity of stress in college students has been rapidly increasing, which indicates a need for more investigation in this area. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference between the stress levels of male and female college students and, if so, whether there is another factor involved that can account for this difference. The participants consisted of students attending Brigham Young University who were also active members of The Church …

Electrophysiological And Behavioral Working Memory Differences Between Musicians And Non-Musicians, Benjamin Richardson, Zach Felke, Grace Whorley, Marisha Medrano, Hannah Williams May 2015

Electrophysiological And Behavioral Working Memory Differences Between Musicians And Non-Musicians, Benjamin Richardson, Zach Felke, Grace Whorley, Marisha Medrano, Hannah Williams

Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)

The current study is an examination of P300 differences between musicians and non-musician groups during a visual oddball task, in addition to behavioral subtests of the TOMAL-2 measuring visual and auditory working memory. Previous research has demonstrated higher amplitude P300 waveforms with shorter latencies of P300 onset in musician groups, indicating a more sensitive and accurate stimulus detection system. Fluctuations of P300 amplitude and latency activity near parietal areas have been used to quantify differences in updating processes of working memory possibly associated with differences in amounts of music experience. The current study is designed to partially replicate a method …
