Assessing The Impacts Of Climate And Land Use And Land Cover Change On The Freshwater Availability In The Brahmaputra River Basin, M. S. Pervez, G. M. Henebry

Natural Resource Management Faculty Publications

Study Region: Brahmaputra River basin in South Asia.

Study Focus: The Soil and Water Assessment Tool was used to evaluate sensitivities and patterns in freshwater availability due to projected climate and land use changes in the Brahmaputra basin. The daily observed discharge at Bahadurabad station in Bangladesh was used to calibrate and validate the model and analyze uncertainties with a sequential uncertainty fitting algorithm. The sensitivities and impacts of projected climate and land use changes on basin hydrological components were simulated for the A1B and A2 scenarios and analyzed relative to a baseline scenario of 1988–2004.

Football And Police, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over the past few weeks college sport has once again taken over the lead in ink and air time; not actually games, of course, but stories that illustrate the corruption of higher education in America by the presence of intercollegiate athletics on campus, or more precisely football on campus.

Streamlining Music Cataloging: Bringing Together Procedures And Corresponding Macros, Melissa Burel

OLAC Conferences

This presentation covers the creation of music cataloging procedures with accompanying OCLC macros. It will discuss some of the useful features and iterations of cataloging procedures and will connect specific procedures with OCLC macros, including the conversion of AACR2 records to RDA.

Purchasing And Licensing Models Of Streaming Videos For Libraries, Cyrus Ford

OLAC Conferences

Libraries are moving toward online delivery. The distributors of commercial videos re-evaluated both the changing nature of the marketplace and the economic model of selling products. Also the licensing of online and on-demand video content is new and unclearly defined concept and practice. This program discusses the purchasing and licensing models of streaming videos for libraries.

Saving Orphans, One Vhs At A Time: The Story Of Section 108 At The University Of Connecticut Libraries, Jennifer M. Eustis

OLAC Conferences

Perhaps you've witnessed the absolute terror of the faculty who cherishes their time old VHS used in teaching. At the University of Connecticut (UConn), those who have an affinity with VHS are finding it increasingly difficult to show them because UConn no longer supports this technology in classrooms. Hence, teaching faculty must either bring their own VHS player or use those in the library. Adding to this faculty frustration, many VHS tapes' quality are beginning to degrade with time and continual use. To help faculty, the Libraries use Section 108, orphan works, to determine when to provide a digital DVD …

Increasing Access To E-Books Using Qr Codes, Dana Hanford

OLAC Conferences

In order to draw attention to our library's ever-increasing e-book collection, I devised a way to promote select e-books by using QR codes that link a print copy of an e-book cover image to the bibliographic record in our catalog. By using a freely available QR code generator/tracker, I'm able to create a QR code with link for each select e-book cover image. The print e-book cover image and QR code are displayed in a clear acrylic frame on our new books display shelf (please see attached image). With the QR code tracker, I'm able to see which e-book QR …

The Progress Of Bibframe, Angela Kroeger

OLAC Conferences

BIBFRAME is the Library of Congress's current effort to develop a linked data replacement for MARC. BIBFRAME is a work in progress, not yet ready for implementation. In this two-hour session, we will examine how BIBFRAME works, what it is intended to accomplish, and the progress that has been made toward that goal. We'll take a look at the BIBFRAME tools that are under development, including the prototype editor for creating new records. And we'll share a glimpse of what the future holds for library catalogs and cataloging.

Rda For Music Scores, Margaret Corby

OLAC Conferences

This workshop will cover the differences between AACR2 and RDA cataloging for music scores, specifically the new MARC21 fields created to accommodate RDA fields. The basics of score cataloging will be covered, as time allows. There will be some discussion on when to input a new record into OCLC, and some hints on searching for scores in OCLC.

Rda Cataloging Of Videorecordings, Jay Weitz

OLAC Conferences

This workshop will cover an introduction to using the RDA standard for visual materials including sources of information; fixed field and 007 coding; the GMD versus Content/Media/Carrier; field 300; statements of responsibility; video carrier details; broadcast standards; regional encoding; aspect ratio; sound characteristics; and other topics. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of the MARC 21 format for Visual Materials.

Cataloging 3d Objects & 2d Graphics Using Rda And Marc21: (The Fun, Touchable Stuff!), Julie Renee Moore

OLAC Conferences

This workshop will focus on the RDA description of some special formats-- such as 3-dimensional objects (such as realia, models, replicas, kits, and games) and 2-dimensional graphics (such as flash cards, pictures, posters, x-rays). Julie has much practice with these sorts of materials, housed in The Teacher Resources Center of the Henry Madden Library at Fresno State, which is home to the largest curriculum collection in the state of California. Attendees will participate in hands-on exercises which will include resources and documentation in support of cataloging these special formats with RDA.

A/V Cataloging At The Crossroads: Cartographic Resources Basics Using Rda, Paige G. Andrew

OLAC Conferences

The three areas of a bibliographic record describing a cartographic resource that typically cause the most questions for those catalogers new to the format or who only occasionally catalog them are: (1) choosing between multiple titles for the title proper, (2) scale statements and their conversion and geographic coordinates, and (3) the physical description. This RDA-focused cataloging workshop will delve into expression and manifestation elements from these three descriptive areas, using the sheet map as a focus. It is expected that attendees be familiar with overall RDA-based changes such as no longer using abbreviations, and navigating the RDA toolkit.

Data Doesn’T Have To Be A Four-Letter Word: Professional Development To Tame The Data Monster, Susan K. Boyd

Staff publications, research, and presentations

Why is learning to manage data difficult? Or is it? This presentation covers the many ways—from freebies to formal education to learn what the information professional needs to know about data. From informal ways such as organizational listservs, to formal methods such as those in library science programs, (and everything in between)—here are the various ways to learn about data management so you can be prepared to start or contribute to a program at your institution.

Impacts Of Metadata On Accessibility Of Digital Collections, Teressa M. Keenan

Mansfield Library Faculty Publications

Conversations about universal design and accessibility have been commonplace among web developers since the 90s but they are just now beginning to emerge in the world of library digital collections. The very nature of materials often presented in digital collections create barriers to accessibility. One possible solution can be found in metadata. In the next 5 minutes I hope to briefly show how the quality and configuration of metadata can have a positive effect on accessibility of image collections.

"We're Working On It:" Transferring The Sloan Digital Sky Survey From Laboratory To Library, Ashley E. Sands, Christine L. Borgman, Sharon Traweek, Laura A. Wynholds

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

This article reports on the transfer of a massive scientific dataset from a national laboratory to a university library, and from one kind of workforce to another. We use the transfer of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) archive to examine the emergence of a new workforce for scientific research data management. Many individuals with diverse educational backgrounds and domain experience are involved in SDSS data management: domain scientists, computer scientists, software and systems engineers, programmers, and librarians. These types of positions have been described using terms such as research technologist, data scientist, e-science professional, data curator, and more. The …

How Do You Get Al Jazeera Worldwide To Purchase Your Christian Film For Middle East Broadcast? (Or, Can Christians Make Films The Secular World Will Pay Attention To?), Mark Volkers

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

Ask someone what comes to mind when you say, "Christian film." If your experience is anything like mine, the one word you'll hear more than any other is "Cheezy" (along with an eye roll to back it up). My film students and I prefer not to make "Christian" films. We prefer films that are made by Christians. We are Christians. We are film makers. We make films that draw from our perspective and world view and those views strongly shape subject matter and treatment, but we also understand that we are making films, not writing and preaching sermons. So often, …
