Health Sciences Assessment At Unc Charlotte: A Collection Devleopment Fellowship, Stephen Krueger Jul 2017

Health Sciences Assessment At Unc Charlotte: A Collection Devleopment Fellowship, Stephen Krueger

The Southeastern Librarian

The J. Murrey Atkins Library at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte serves over 21,000 undergraduates and over 4,000 graduate students. Apart from the sole branch library (Arts & Architecture), all of the resources are housed in the main building. In 2016, a plan was developed for a comprehensive weeding project. Two primary factors made this necessary. One was the adaptive nature of the library’s philosophy; student needs and preferences were constantly assessed, and changes were made to the library’s services and spaces based on them. The creation of a makerspace, a family-friendly study room, and other student workspaces …


Creating A Culture Of Grant Writing In A Multi-Campus Academic Setting, Christopher Shaffer, Michael Pearce, Alyssa Martin Jul 2017

Creating A Culture Of Grant Writing In A Multi-Campus Academic Setting, Christopher Shaffer, Michael Pearce, Alyssa Martin

The Southeastern Librarian

Grant writing is more important than ever in an era of “proving our worth” at academic libraries. For small libraries wanting to provide their communities with unique programming opportunities, such grant writing is often essential, because the funding for programming is often nonexistent, or minimal. As librarians work to make grant writing a priority at their institutions, they must be mindful of the importance of building relationships with the university administration, various colleges and departments within the university, individual faculty members, staff, students, and members of the surrounding community. In an era of falling enrollment, budget cuts and pressure from …


An Assessment Of Frequently Challenged Lgbtq* Books In Alabama Public Libraries, Sonja Sheffield Jul 2017

An Assessment Of Frequently Challenged Lgbtq* Books In Alabama Public Libraries, Sonja Sheffield

The Southeastern Librarian

Libraries are often seen as safe places for all people in a community. Libraries draw in diverse members of the community who all feel generally safe in the public space (Leckie and Hopkins, 2002, p. 353). Libraries often strive to be places of “no judgment” where all are treated equally and can have their information needs met in an unbiased fashion (American Library Association, 2006). There are also initiatives in many libraries to serve various marginalized groups in a community, such as immigrants (Shen, 2013), those with disabilities (Ross and Atkin, 2002), and the homeless (Ayers, 2006). Though civil rights …

Piracy And Religion: Navigating Their Connections During The Golden Age, Sarah Wampler Jul 2017

Piracy And Religion: Navigating Their Connections During The Golden Age, Sarah Wampler

Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Golden Age of Piracy saw piracy and institutionalized religion attempt to create order within the vast new sea of challenges presented in the wake of the Reformation and the discovery of the New World. Piracy and religion both served as tools of the state used to assert policy and control over an ever-expanding world. At the same time each existed outside of the state and were yet directly linked to it. Like Kidd and his buried bible, these two concepts often seen as opposites, one moral and ordered the other chaotic and corrupt, became two sides of the same …

Presence And Use Of Designated Charging Stations For Electronic Devices In Academic Libraries: An Exploratory Study, Lesley K. Mackie Jul 2017

Presence And Use Of Designated Charging Stations For Electronic Devices In Academic Libraries: An Exploratory Study, Lesley K. Mackie

Georgia Library Quarterly

This article reports the results of an exploratory survey of academic librarians, to determine the presence and use of charging stations for electronic devices. Of particular interest were the institutions that provide and/or require their students to have electronic devices. Results show that institutions without charging stations have identified them as a need, and institutions with charging stations see them as effective. Overall, this article highlights that, at the time of the survey, there was a disparity between users’ needs and institutional resources as few institutions were addressing students’ battery power needs in regards to electronic devices. Conducted in 2013, …

Selective Tactile Attention Under Auditory Perceptual Load, Stephanie C. Bowar Jul 2017

Selective Tactile Attention Under Auditory Perceptual Load, Stephanie C. Bowar

Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research

Previous research has demonstrated that detection of certain stimuli can be increased or decreased by a manipulation of attentional load during a target task. While much of this research focuses on sensory attention, there is some debate regarding whether the effect can be seen across sensory modalities (Kahneman, 1973), or only within the same sensory modality (Wickens, 1980). Additionally, it is unclear whether the effect can be applied to audition. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether irrelevant tactile distractors would be ignored or detected under various levels of auditory stimulation (‘load’). It was predicted that vibrotactile …
