Soil APES
Soil erosion and degradation during the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s severely damaged farmland across the Great Plains. Poor agricultural practices, such as overgrazing and deep plowing of grasslands without crop rotation, disturbed the native grasses and exposed the soil. This led to prolonged periods of high winds that blew away topsoil, creating massive dust storms that spread across the central United States. New conservation efforts, including planting shelter belts and using sustainable farming techniques, helped to restore the damaged soil over subsequent decades.
Soil apes ch 9
Soil contamination is a serious issue that threatens both the environment and human health. Various pollutants such as heavy metals, petroleum products, and other industrial wastes can accumulate in soils over time. Left unchecked, contaminated soils may leach harmful chemicals into groundwater or become airborne, spreading pollution further afield. Proper testing and remediation techniques are needed to clean contaminated sites and make the land safe again.

Find out what Web 2.0 tools are being used by teachers around the world to pump up their lesson plans, and what learning institutions can do to help them succeed.
Right time, right place, to change the world
1. The document discusses three areas of change in scholarly communication: public access to papers, treating papers as data, and dataset archiving. Attendees of iEvoBio are well-positioned to understand and guide these changes.
2. Preliminary results from a study on researcher attitudes towards data archiving show that some researchers are worried about others using their data without proper recognition or collecting their own data.
3. The key messages are that the world of scholarly communication is changing, attendees can help shape the future by raising expectations, voices, and glasses to change the status quo.
No stories without evidence, no evidence without stories
Talk given at Sydney University on 4 August 2015.
Across many parts of our lives we are faced with the increasing availability of data to support decision making. With every element of the research process moving online, there are many new sources of data, as well as improved old sources of data, that can provide information on the performance, value and use of research and researchers.
But there is a problem. The proliferation of proxy data, and their naive equation with such weakly defined concepts as “quality” and “excellence”, have lead to a reliance on rankings and quantitative measures as institutional targets. More than this the adoption of these instrumental targets has lead us away from a critical discussion of institutional values, indeed of what the institution is for.
I will argue that it is only by moving away from such vague terms as “quality”, “excellence” and “impact” and focussing on institutional values and a well articulated mission that institutions of scholarship will continue to be relevant for the future. It is through interrogating the goals of the institution that the enormous potential resource of data on the research enterprise can be realised. Using the data effectively will allow us a window on how knowledge actually moves and is used. In combination with a clear sense of institutional goals this provides great opportunities for institutions to differentiate themselves from the pack.

Twitter: Helpful or Hassle?
This document outlines a study examining whether academic libraries in the United States are reaching their intended audiences via Twitter. The study will identify US academic libraries with Twitter accounts, survey them about their Twitter use and goals, code the followers of responding libraries to categorize them as students/alumni, faculty/staff, affiliated university entities, libraries/librarians, local businesses, unaffiliated, or unknown. Preliminary results from coding 20 libraries show average percentages of followers in each category. Next steps include more coding, statistical analysis, and writing conclusions and recommendations.
Slide Deck vs Screencast
With the abundance of cloud-based presentation options, librarians must decide what medium is best for various types of instruction. Slide decks and screencasts have a myriad of pros and cons, but can be effectively used in varying situations. Best practices of both choosing an appropriate medium as well as using that particular medium to it's highest potential will be discussed.
How to be a Supersearcher: GENERAL
The document outlines a six step method for conducting effective searches: 1) Define your topic and keywords, 2) Brainstorm synonyms, 3) Search relevant academic databases, 4) Use Boolean operators to combine search terms, 5) Utilize subject headings and thesauri for improved results, 6) Employ footnote chasing and cited reference searching to expand your search. The goal is to provide researchers with strategies for performing thorough searches.
Follow that citation! GENERAL
This document discusses two methods for finding additional relevant articles on a topic: footnote chasing and cited reference searching. Footnote chasing involves reviewing the references cited in an article, while cited reference searching identifies articles that have cited the original article. It recommends using databases like Web of Science and Google Scholar to perform cited reference searches and find out how many times an article has been cited. The document notes that no database can provide a complete list of all articles that have cited a given work.

Additional tips can be found at two provided URLs.
Library Instruction for Hybrid Courses: An Experience with a DNP Program
The document discusses library instruction challenges for a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) hybrid program. It notes that DNP students are commuter students and working professionals with limited time on campus. To address this, the librarian implemented three Saturday morning instruction sessions covering library basics, advanced searching, RefWorks, and APA style. Future improvements include focusing more on search skills, adding in-class activities, and shifting to a more conceptual teaching approach.
Legal Resources in the Health Sciences
This document provides information about legal resources in health sciences and recommends using the CINAHL database. It directs readers with questions to ask their librarian and credits an unspecified source.
Plagiarism
The document defines plagiarism as taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. It lists what is considered plagiarism, such as words, images, data sets, charts, audio/video recordings. Plagiarism can result in failure of assignments, entire courses, or dismissal from school. To avoid plagiarism, the document recommends taking good notes on sources, learning what information is needed in citations, and citing anything that may need to be cited or asking a librarian. It also lists common citation styles used in different academic fields.
APA Format
This document provides an overview of key chapters in the APA Publication Manual 6th edition that cover manuscript structure, style guidelines, citing sources, reference examples, the publication process, and reference list components. It includes examples of in-text citations and reference list entries for different source types like books, book chapters, journal articles both print and electronic. It also discusses Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and locating them. The document aims to explain the basics of APA style and address some common oddities or questions that come up when citing and referencing sources.
Finding Full Text
The "Get it @ GVSU" button allows users to access full-text articles found in databases. Clicking the button will open a new window linking to the full article, though sometimes access is not available online. In those cases, users can search the library catalog to see if the item is available in print or request the article through interlibrary loan by clicking the document delivery link.
Refining Results in Summon
The document discusses how to narrow down search results in Summon when too many results are returned. It recommends using the facets on the left side of the results list to filter by format, subject, date, location, and language. Applying one or more of these facets should reduce the number of results to a more manageable amount. Questions can be directed to a librarian.
Scholarly vs. Popular
This document compares scholarly and popular sources across four major criteria: purpose, authority, audience, and content. Scholarly sources are intended to report original research, are written by experts and published by reputable publishers, use specialized language for other experts, and contain in-depth analysis, references, and research. Popular sources are intended to entertain or inform general audiences, are often written by non-experts, use informal language, and contain summaries and eye-catching graphics instead of in-depth analysis.
