No Data Librarian, No Cry
This document outlines the key questions ("5 Ws + H") that data librarians ask patrons during a data reference interview to understand their data needs. It discusses asking who would care about the data, what type of source the patron needs (statistics, data files, publications), what variables or indicators, what populations, what time frame and periodicity, what geographic areas, and how the data is available and collected. It provides an example interview for immigration data and references materials for further information.

Comparing Automated Factual Claim Detection Against Judgments of Journalism O...The Innovative Data Intelligence Research (IDIR) Laboratory, University of Texas at Arlington
In this research, we deployed an automated fact-checking system (ClaimBuster) on the 2016 presidential primary debates and assessed its performance compared to professional news organizations. In real-time, ClaimBuster scored the statements made by candidates on check-worthiness, the likelihood that the statement contained an important factual claim. Its discrimination compared to professional journalists was high. Statements chosen for fact checking by CNN and PolitiFact had been scored much higher by ClaimBuster than those not selected. The topics of statements chosen for checking also mirrored the topics of those scored highly by ClaimBuster. Differences between the political parties and individual candidates on the use of factual claims are also presented.Snapshot: University of Idaho Library Reference Department
This document summarizes how the University of Idaho Library provides reference services to patrons. It notes that reference questions are answered in-person, by phone, email, chat, text, and online guides. Most users are students, with some faculty, staff and community patrons. Reference questions make up 80% of inquiries, covering research topics, while 20% are directional questions. The library uses the LibAnswers platform to track questions, provide a knowledge base for patrons, and allow librarians to monitor and respond to chat, text, and other questions.
City lab how to write an outline-2
The document outlines steps for a CityLab project that analyzes an urban policy challenge. Step 1 involves reviewing literature to frame the challenge and identify solutions adopted, or not adopted, by progressive and unprogressive cities.

Final Presentation- Tahsina Mame
This document discusses various methods for collecting demographic data, including population censuses, sample surveys, vital statistics registration, and administrative records. It describes how each method works, their advantages and limitations, and examples of their use in Bangladesh. The key points are that censuses aim to count the entire population but are infrequent, while surveys sample subsets of the population and are more cost-effective. Combining multiple data sources provides the most complete demographic picture. Accuracy depends on minimizing errors like undercoverage.

This document analyzes data from 27 election studies across 5 countries to estimate the percentage of voters who change their minds in the month before an election. It finds that on average, about 16% of voters change their preferred party between initial interviews conducted a month before the election and post-election surveys. However, rates vary significantly between countries, from about 4% of voters in the US to 30% in New Zealand. Voters are also more likely to change their minds earlier in the campaign period compared to the final weeks.

Due April 25.
Application: Process Flow Analysis
Have you ever encountered a process that had too many steps or was overly complicated? Perhaps you examined the process and looked for areas where you could remove steps or simplify its flow. If you did, you were conducting a process flow analysis. Process analysis is an important step in determining the financial well-being of an organization and pinpointing areas where changes could help improve the bottom line. In this Assignment, you will create a process flow analysis (also known as workflow diagramming) for an activity in your own organization (or one with which you are familiar).
To prepare:
•Review the information in the Learning Resources (including the Media) for this week dealing with how to perform a process flow analysis.
•Identify a process that is completed on a consistent basis in your organization (or one with which you are familiar). Examples of a process include such things as how a patient is moved through the system, or what must occur to prepare an examination room or hospital room for the next patient.
•Create a simple flow analysis map detailing the process using Microsoft Word using one of the methods below: ◦Select SmartArt from the Insert menu and select a diagram that matches the flowchart structure you would like to use.
◦Select Shapes from the Insert menu and select the shape that matches the flowchart piece you would like to use. Continue inserting shapes and connect them using the arrow shapes.
•Reflect on the ease or difficulty of obtaining the necessary information to create your flow analysis map.
•Identify “white space” as defined in the article, “Hospital Operating System: Unleashing Throughput Potential” found in the Learning Resources for this week.
•Determine strategies for improving the process flow.
•Reflect on the role of the process flow analysis in financial decision making and how it can have positive impacts on the process.
In a 3- to 4- page paper describe the process you analyzed and how you went about gathering the necessary information to create your flow analysis map. Identify specific areas of white space that need to be addressed and propose strategies for improving the process. Analyze how process flow analysis can be a useful tool in financial decision making and the ramifications of not using it. Be sure and include your flow analysis map when you turn in your paper.

Research Data Management for SOE
This document discusses the importance of research data management. It covers the data lifecycle and components of a data management plan. The data lifecycle includes collecting, processing, analyzing, storing, preserving, and sharing data. A data management plan outlines how data will be managed and preserved during and after a research project. It includes information about the data, metadata, data sharing policies, long-term storage, and budget. Developing a data management plan helps keep data organized, track processes, control versions, prepare data for sharing and reuse, and ensure long-term access.
Supporting the Patron Research Life Cycle
The document discusses the author giving out their cell phone number to students to better support them throughout the research process.
It begins by showing statistics on increasing interactions between librarians and patrons over recent years. It then contrasts the traditional model of waiting for help at the reference desk with a new model of more proactive and ongoing support.
The author argues that by making themselves available to students outside of in-person meetings, they can help shape better research habits and intervene earlier when students have questions or run into obstacles. The goal is to move students toward an ideal iterative research process rather than leaving them to panic at the last minute.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
