Dimilin for Control of Lernaea in Golden Shiner Ponds

A single application of Oimilin (UNIROYAL),diflubenzuron, was tested in 9 (nine) ponds containing golden shiner minnows, Notemigonus crysoleucas, infested with the parasitic copepod Lernaea cyprinacea. The chemical was applied at a rate of1 0 or 30 pg/l and compared to untreated controls. Fish were periodically sampled to determine levels of infestation, and zooplankton numbers were monitored for chemical effect. Oimilin treatment significantly reduced (P \u3c 0.05) parasite infestation four to eight days after treatment. No significant difference (P \u3c 0.05) was noted between the two levels of treatment. Zooplankton populations decreased in the Dimilin treated ponds following chemical application. Rotifer populations rebounded later during the period, but copepod populations in the ponds treated with 30 ng/L remained depressed from two days after treatment for one month until the study ended. Complete parasite control was not obtained with either chemical concentration using a single application. These results suggest that a single treatment is not effective for Lernaea control. Future research will test two applications 10 days apart at the 10 and 30 /xg/L levels

Faculty and Copyright: a Repository Challenge

As marketing efforts have improved, more faculty from more disciplines are interested in depositing their publications into our repository, ScholarWorks@Georgia State University. We don’t allow self-submission, so requests all come to me. Many faculty are shocked when I tell them I can’t post the publisher version of their works (and that they shouldn’t be posting them on Academica.edu and ResearchGate)! Very few can locate their “Publication Agreements,” and even fewer realize that those agreements are usually intended to transfer their copyrights. Conversations with faculty start with defining copyright, move to copyright transfers and the rights some publishers grant back, and finally end with author addenda and open access. Fears of not getting published, promotion and tenure priority, and concern about sharing postprints weave throughout these conversations. This presentation will talk about methods of reaching faculty to discuss copyright, common issues, and successes, and will encourage audience input

Meeting the Educational Needs of Systems Librarians: A comparative Study of Schools of Information and Library Science, Graduate Schools of Business, and Undergraduate and Graduate Computer Science Programs

This study describes a content analysis of the course catalogs of top-ranked Schools of information and Library Science, Graduate Schools of Business, and undergraduate and graduate Computer Science programs. The catalogs are analyzed in regard to the number of courses they offer that address the educational needs of aspiring systems librarians. These needs are derived from two previous studies of systems librarianship. Schools of Information and Library Science and Graduate Schools of Business offer similar numbers of courses in most of the nine categories studied, although Business Schools do not offer courses in library-specific technical services. Computer Science programs only offer courses in microcomputers, programming and networking. Few individual schools in any of the three disciplines offer courses in more than three of the nine categories

Spotlight on Construction: Georgia State\u27s Library Transformation Project Completed

The article focuses on the Georgia State University Library Transformation which was funded primarily by student fees. The transformation project allowed the library to renovate space in Libraries North and South. It creates a two-story Learning Commons, build extensive collaborative work spaces, expand technological services and provide better access to research resources. The timeline for the project was projected to be at least 10 years. The goals of the transformation are cited. The Leo A Daly firm designed the project
