An Academic Library Utilization Of Research Guides To Disseminate Consumer Health Resources, Niki Kirkpatrick, Melanie Dixson
An Academic Library Utilization Of Research Guides To Disseminate Consumer Health Resources, Niki Kirkpatrick, Melanie Dixson
UT Libraries Faculty: Peer-Reviewed Publications
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Libraries (UT Libraries) utilizes research guides as supplemental training resources, educational tools, and community enrichment aids to support health literacy. This article illustrates case studies of three UT Libraries research guides that provide consumer health information, breaking down each research guide’s development, facilitation, and purpose. As a training resource, the Cultural Competency Guide works to support the course curriculum. The Introduction to Health Sciences Research Guide serves as an educational tool by establishing foundational information for consumer health assimilation. Lastly, the Seed Library & Gardening Guide serves as a community enrichment aid to encourage healthy …

Strengthening Implicitly-Formed Attitudes: The Use Of Evaluative Conditioning And Selective Exposure, Claudia Q. Luu
Strengthening Implicitly-Formed Attitudes: The Use Of Evaluative Conditioning And Selective Exposure, Claudia Q. Luu
Select or Award-Winning Individual Scholarship
Implicit attitudes are defined as unconsciously-formed evaluations towards an object or the self. Although the very nature of unconsciously formed attitudes may appear to be too weak to be significant to modern theories of attitudes, we challenge that these minute unconscious attitudes can inadvertently affect cognitive information processing which ultimately manifests into stronger attitudes. Here we demonstrate that implicitly formed attitudes can eventually lead to biased behaviors that can positively reinforce themselves which is consistent with the effects of strong attitudes suggested by contemporary research on attitudes. In order to mimic the formation of implicit attitudes, we developed an evaluative …
Guide To Alcohol And Beer Laws In Tennessee, Elisha Hodge
Guide To Alcohol And Beer Laws In Tennessee, Elisha Hodge
MTAS Publications: Full Publications
MTAS frequently receive questions related to alcohol and beer laws in Tennessee. In an effort to assist municipal officials and employees with these questions, MTAS developed this guide that includes many of the relevant statutory provisions related to alcohol and beer in Tennessee. This guide does not include every statutory provision related to alcohol or beer, so the Tennessee Code will still need to be reviewed as questions arise.

Please, Hold Your Toothpicks: An Analysis Of Autism On Contemporary Television, Kellie N. Veltri
Please, Hold Your Toothpicks: An Analysis Of Autism On Contemporary Television, Kellie N. Veltri
Haslam Scholars Projects
In the past decade, there has been a boom in representations of varied identities on entertainment television, including characters with mental illness and disabilities. There has particularly been an increase in television representations of autism spectrum disorders, which has coincided with the reframing of autism in the DSM-5. Exposure to these characters has increased public awareness of what autism actually looks like, but their characteristics are still very narrow and do not represent the full range of people with autism and what their experiences with the condition are actually like. In this thesis, I will explore historic representations of autism …

Tracking Flanker Task Dynamics: Evidence For Continuous Attentional Selectivity, Cody A. Levi, Katherine Peterson, Kaleb Kinder, Caglar Tas, Aaron Buss
Psychology Publications and Other Works
A central research goal in the cognitive sciences has been to understand the processes that underlie selective attention, or the ability to focus on goal-relevant information. Two opposing theories have been proposed in an effort to explain how selective attention emerges: one suggests that attention improves continuously over time, whereas the other proposes that attention improves at a discrete time point. While outcome-based data (e.g., reaction time) have successfully provided evidence for both accounts, there has been no empirical evidence to differentiate them. In this study, we used mouse-tracking in a flanker task that provided time sensitive measures associated with …

Best Practices For Managing Innovations In Public Libraries In The United States, Devendra Potnis, Joseph Winberry, Bonnie Finn
Best Practices For Managing Innovations In Public Libraries In The United States, Devendra Potnis, Joseph Winberry, Bonnie Finn
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
Public libraries serve as anchors for thousands of communities across the country. Innovations are critical for the survival and relevance of public libraries in the country. Few studies, if any, identify the best practices for managing innovations in public libraries based on the experiential guidance shared by administrators of public libraries recognized for their innovations. This empirical study fills in the gap by identifying the challenges and solutions for managing innovations in public libraries in the United States. A thematic content analysis of qualitative responses collected through an online, anonymous survey of 219 administrators of 211 innovations in 106 urban …

Managing The “Backend” Of Lis Research Projects: A Project Management Perspective, Devendra Potnis, Bhakti Gala
Managing The “Backend” Of Lis Research Projects: A Project Management Perspective, Devendra Potnis, Bhakti Gala
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
There is very little guidance in library and information science (LIS) literature about how researchers should manage the scope, time, costs, quality, human resources, communications, and risks associated with LIS research projects. To fill this gap, researchers tested the utility of project management principles (PMP) for planning and managing a project designed to enhance the information, digital, and financial literacy of the people earning less than $2 per day in India. The customization of PMP through 29 mechanisms and 60 action items was used to conduct focus groups and in-person surveys with over 150 participants, in their native language, at …
