Safety Alert Plant Selection 06022012
An operative was injured when a 9-inch grinder he was using above his head kicked back and struck him in the face, requiring stitches. An investigation found that the safe system of work was vague, only describing the tool as a "small" grinder instead of specifying it was a 9-inch grinder. It also did not account for the dust generated by cutting concrete. The alert stresses the importance of ensuring safe systems of work are correct and adequate, and speaking up if they are not, in order to avoid injuries and keep all workers safe.

Safety bulletin 031 ring finger injuries
A Freightliner employee suffered a serious ring finger injury when his gloved hand got caught on a ladder and his ring tore through the glove. The ribbed ladder surface caught his ring as he descended, avulsing his finger and requiring surgery. To prevent such injuries, Freightliner now requires employees to remove rings or tape them with surgical tape before work. Ring avulsion injuries can range from bruising to amputation when a ring is forcefully pulled by trapped fingers or hands. Photographs show examples of serious ring avulsion injuries sustained by non-Freightliner employees wearing rings.
Grinder injury bos 17 10 16
A contract welder suffered a serious facial injury while using a grinder to remove slag from a weld.

Video Magic: Student Filmmaking with GoPros
The document discusses an assignment where students at California Maritime Academy were divided into groups to create 1-2 minute public service announcement videos on various library-related topics using GoPro cameras and video editing software. Students provided feedback saying the assignment allowed them to be creative and have fun while also being easier than a traditional oral presentation for those uncomfortable with public speaking. Equipment and materials were shared between different universities to help make the project possible.
What Does the Public Say? Analyzing Online News Article Comments About Libraries
The document summarizes a content analysis of 693 public comments on 54 online news articles about libraries. The researchers analyzed comments to understand public perception and views on libraries. Key findings included:
- The most prevalent comment topics were about the value of free access to information in libraries, their physical collections, role in preserving history, and positive impact on communities.
- When commenting, 368 people expressed valuing the role of libraries, while 230 did not value them.
- Notable quotes showed views on both sides, with some commenting that libraries are outdated while others see value in their role for access to information and as community spaces.
Student to Author: Using Wikipedia to Improve Undergraduate Research & Writing
This document discusses using Wikipedia to improve undergraduate research and writing. It provides examples of student projects where they contributed original content to Wikipedia articles. Studies found that most college students use Wikipedia for school assignments. The document advocates for using Wikipedia in the classroom in a way that aligns with scholarly values like relying on reliable sources and undergoing peer review. It describes challenges but also benefits to students, such as learning efficient research practices and citation analysis. Examples are given of assignments where students contributed to Wikipedia as an authentic audience.
Better Research Papers: Workshop Your Handout - Faculty Workshop
Tuesday, August 26th, 2014, led by Margot Hanson and Michele Van Hoeck
BETTER RESEARCH PAPERS: WORKSHOP YOUR HANDOUT
2:00-3:30 PM, LIBRARY GREEN ROOM
Would you like to see higher quality research papers from students? Are you discouraged by grading papers with weak sources or insufficient citation? Drawing on recommendations from studies of student research habits, as well as librarian experience working with Cal Maritime students, attendees will work with a partner to revise one of their own research assignment handouts (prompts).
NOTE: Please bring a paper copy of one of your research paper assignments to the workshop.
Student to Superhero: Freshmen Tell Their Research Stories
The document discusses using comics instead of essays for reflective assignments to encourage more creativity, personality, and engagement from students. It notes that typical reflection essays tend to sound the same and may not genuinely reflect students' learning. By using comics, students could show their metacognition and understanding of new knowledge in a more creative format that incorporates humor and their own voice. The goal would be to foster deeper reflection through a more creative medium compared to traditional essays.
Teaching visualization: effective communication in visual formats
This document discusses effective strategies for teaching visual literacy. It defines a visually literate person as someone who can interpret visual media, use images effectively to design and communicate, and understand ethical issues related to visuals. It provides examples of visual literacy standards and competencies, such as determining needed visual materials and interpreting meanings from images. Effective practices for presentations using visuals are also outlined, such as using images and words together, limiting one idea per slide, and making slides understandable within three seconds. Sample assignments are proposed to help students develop visual communication skills.
Who do they think we are? Addressing library identity perception in the academy
This document summarizes a presentation given at the CARL Conference on April 6, 2014. It discusses a presentation given by Margot Hanson from California Maritime Academy and Annis Lee Adams from Golden Gate University titled "Who do they think we are? Addressing library identity perception in the academy." The presentation looked at how librarians are perceived by others and discussed research into how academics write about libraries and librarians online. It provided an overview of several studies and articles on topics such as the value of academic libraries, how academics use online forums, online disinhibition effects, and analyzing comments on library-related articles. Attendees were asked about their experiences with online commenting.

Soaring in the Cloud: Collaboration Tools for Superhero Librarians
Annis Lee Adams and Margot Hanson from Golden Gate University and California Maritime Academy presented at the Hawaii Library Association Conference on November 9, 2013 about tracking and managing information literacy efforts. Their presentation discussed using tools like Google Forms, LibAnalytics, Gimlet, LibStats, mind-mapping software, BaseCamp and Trello to track reference interactions, create knowledge bases, map literacy to curriculums, and manage information literacy projects. An online handout was available with additional details.
Speed Dating for Project Management Software
This document summarizes a presentation on selecting project management software for libraries. It discusses common project management principles and challenges libraries face in selecting software. It provides case studies on libraries that used Trello and other tools. The presentation evaluates Microsoft Project, Basecamp, Jira, and Trello for their fit with different project needs and budgets. It concludes that the right software depends on a library's specific projects and team size, and that tools alone don't ensure effective project management.
Visual Slide Design: Translating ideas into images
This document discusses using visuals to enhance slide design and learning. It notes that pictures are remembered better than words, especially with brief exposures. Using images and text together maximizes retention. Visuals should reinforce the same information. The "picture superiority effect" is widely used in marketing through visuals in posters, brochures, and reports. Research shows recognition doubles for pictures versus text. The document provides tips for effective visual slide design such as using one idea per slide and leaving white space. It encourages taking time to translate ideas into images.

GGU Library Assessment Poster Showcase 2012
The primary goal of the GGU University Library is to help students develop the research skills needed for academic and professional success. To achieve this, the library conducts surveys of students and faculty to understand needs and assess services. Analysis of usage statistics also informs the library's objectives. Key findings indicate students want easy access to library resources from mobile devices and a single search across databases. The library has implemented a single search and mobile access to the catalog and website to address these needs based on survey feedback.

Terra incognita with no GPS: A case study approach to mapping assessment
Amy Hofer & Margot Hanson. From Loex-of-the-West 2010 conference program: "We need evidence of our value to justify the library budget, gain buy-in from faculty, and please accreditors, but the process of gathering meaningful evidence can be quite a challenge. After all, were you trained to do this kind of research? Neither were we, but the Assessment Coordinator that our university hired in preparation for a WASC visit guided us through our study design. Drawing on this relationship with a neutral expert outside the library, two business librarians at Golden Gate University designed an effective learning assessment of our instruction to our school’s intensive ESL program. We’ll use the valuable lessons we learned as a starting point for small-group exploration of some real-world assessment territory."
Upstairs-downstairs: Working with a campus assessment coordinator and other a...
Guess what -- you don't need to do learning assessment on a 45-minute one-shot presentation. Instruction librarians at Golden Gate University learned this and much more when an Assessment Coordinator arrived to help prepare our school for WASC. Oakleaf & Hinchliffe (2008) identify lack of coordination as one of the barriers librarians face in conducting assessment, and we found that having a smart, committed, and trustworthy coordinator made all the difference to our research project. We leveraged the Assessment Coordinator's expertise to stay focused on a project that produced valid and useful results from an in-depth learning assessment to measure student learning in an English Language Learners program. Our presentation focuses on the people connections that made this assessment work: between librarian collaborators, with students and instructors in the ELL program, and all the way upstairs to our University-wide assessment coordinator. We'll talk about how we designed our assessment and - phew - let go of post-instruction evaluation forms. Participants will get a fresh look at how information literacy assessment can benefit from upstairs-downstairs collaboration (floor plan not included)!
Resource Discovery And Sharing
Margot Hanson gave a faculty senate presentation on February 18, 2009 about resource discovery and sharing tools available through the UHWO library, including the QuickSearch discovery tool, social networking sites LibraryThing, Twitter, and Flickr, and reference management tools Connotea, CiteULike, Zotero, and Delicious. She provided links to these services and her presentation slides.

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.
