Name It and Claim It: Cross-Campus Collaborations for Community-Based Learning

This article describes the value of cross-campus collaborations for community-based learning. We argue that community-based learning both provides unique opportunities for breaking academic silos and invites campus partnerships to make ambitious projects possible. To illustrate, we describe a course Writing for Social Justice that involved created videos for our local YWCA\u27s Racial Justice Program. We begin by discussing the shared value of collaboration across writing studies and librarianship (our disciplinary orientations). We identify four forms of cross-campus collaboration, which engaged us in working with each other, with our community partner, and with other partners across campus. From there, we visualize a timeline, turning from the why of cross-campus collaborations to the how. Finally, we underscore the need to name and claim--to value and cultivate--cross-campus collaborations for community-based learning

Supporting Digital Video Composition in the Library: A New Opportunity for Instruction

Digital technologies are transforming curriculum at a rapid pace as more faculty integrate digital media into student assignments. Faculty may be assigning video composition and other digital media, but how much do students really know about integrating media? Intellectual property? Visual literacy? Librarians have the opportunity to facilitate an intelligent and integrated move toward the use of these digital tools in classrooms and participate in educating students on media literacy. This presentation explores the information and media literacy considerations in multimodal projects, and will highlight how librarians can use sites such as Flickr, YouTube, Sound Cloud and Google Image Search to address common misconceptions among students

The Influences of Green Infrastructure on Levels of Somatic and Male-Specific Coliphages and E. Coli at Shadyside Park

During the summer of 2019, Plaster Creek Stewards executed a green infrastructure project that proceeded with development of a floodplain at Shadyside park with the purpose to reduce the flow rate of Plaster Creek and prevent the occurrence of erosion from both heavy rainfall and flooding¹. In addition, microbial contamination (both bacterial and viral) has a significant impact on bodies of water. Viral coliphages, specifically male-specific and somatic phages, are used as indicators of fecal contamination in water and can be used to identify sources of contamination². A case study was conducted to evaluate how this floodplain influenced the microbial contamination during both dry and wet conditions in Plaster Creek after having a significant time of maturing

The change in the existing system will allow the company to mine tied material deposits. The characteristics of the company, the general theory with the used methods of evaluation of investment activity are described in the first theoretical part of the work. The second practical part of the work is focused on the description of the investment project and the application of selected methods of investment evaluation. In the third part, at the end of the work there are applied and summarized the findings from the practical part based on the output data from the evaluation of selected investment methods and interpretation of the resulting values.545 - Katedra ekonomiky a systémů řízenívýborn

Digital Storytelling in the Library: Supporting the Multimodal Assignment from Start to Finish

This poster explores the security, privacy and ethical considerations confronted in supporting digital media courses. Of particular importance to this presentation is the increased role digital storytelling and video composition plays in student learning. Supporting this shift in curriculum, librarians have the opportunity to facilitate an intelligent and integrated move toward the use of these digital tools in classrooms and participate in educating students on media literacy. Librarians supporting the Digital Media Studio at Marquette University share their techniques in educating students on intellectual property issues and in navigating security and privacy problems with shared equipment

Indicator species characterization and removal in a detention pond in the Plaster Creek Watershed

Microbial pathogen contamination is a leading cause of impairment for urban rivers and streams in Michigan. Reports on the ability of green infrastructure best management practices to remove microbial pathogens have been highly variable. This study evaluated the influence of a detention basin (Kreiser Pond) on microbial dynamics in the Plaster Creek watershed in West Michigan. High levels of fecal indicator bacteria and coliphage were documented in influent and effluent water, with significant increases in indicator microbe concentrations during storm events. In dry conditions, Kreiser Pond efficiently reduced the number of indicator microbes flowing through the basin. Rainfall volume had a greater influence on the diversity of bacteria than sampling location. Antibiotic resistance was prevalent in culturable E. coli from Kreiser Pond, demonstrating a potential public health risk and highlighting the need for identifying the ultimate sources of microbial pollution
