The Sound of the Crowd: Using Social Media to develop best practices for Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians (OAWAL)

For the past nine months, Graham stone and Jill emery have been promotion OAWAL: Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians on a blog site, through facebook, through Twitter, and at in-person events in both the US and UK to raise awareness of open access management in academic libraries and in an attempt to crowdsource best practices internationally. At the in-person meetings, we've used a technique known as the H Form which was developed by an independent consulting group known in the UK as "Peanut". This overview will outline the current project and focus on feedback received. It will also highlight some of the changes that have been made in response to the feedback given and future plans of this project

TERMS: Techniques for electronic resources management

Librarians and information specialists have been finding ways to manage electronic resources for over a decade now. However, much of this work has been an ad hoc and learn-as-you-go process. The literature on electronic resource management shows this work as being segmented into many different areas of traditional librarian roles within the library. In addition, the literature show how management of these resources has driven the development of various management tools in the market as well as serve as the greatest need in the development of next generation library systems. TERMS is an attempt to create a series of on-going and continually developing set of management best practices for electronic resource management in libraries

US open access life cycle

Based on the UK open access life cycle, in the centre circle, we have used the 7 stages of the publishing process as described by Neil Jacobs (Jisc), this is followed by institutional processes – of course not all institutions will have all of these processes up and running, e.g. we don’t all have a CRIS. We then included publisher services that directly impact upon the work of the open access team. We then went on to map above campus services to the life cycle. Finally, we added the 6 sections of OAWAL showing where we think that fits with the life cycle

Three years on: TERMS

Three years ago, we began publishing the rough drafts we had for TERMS: Techniques for Electronic Resource Management to a Tumblr blog and wiki space and soliciting feedback from the international library community. The response to the work was extremely positive from colleagues around the world and the feedback received really helped to develop the best practices into a cohesive reference tool

TPR-CONTAINING PROTEINS CONTROL PROTEIN ORGANIZATION AND HOMEOSTASIS FOR THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex, multifunctional organelle comprised of a continuous membrane and lumen that is organized into several functional regions. It plays various roles including protein translocation, folding, quality control, secretion, calcium signaling, and lipid biogenesis. Cellular protein homeostasis is maintained by a complicated chaperone network, and the largest functional family within this network consists of proteins containing tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs). TPRs are well-studied structural motifs that mediate intermolecular protein-protein interactions, supporting interactions with a wide range of ligands or substrates. Nine TPR-containing proteins have been shown to localize to the ER and control protein organization and homeostasis within this multifunctional organelle. Here, we discuss the roles of SEL1L, ERdj6, FICD, TMTC1-4, TTC13 and TTC17 and how they contribute to controlling ER processes and organization. The crucial roles that TPR-containing proteins play in the ER are highlighted by diseases or defects associated with their mutation or disruption

Does How Much You Work Matter?

Previous literature has suggested an inverted U relationship between hours worked and life satisfaction, with those who work more closely to 40 hours a week showing greater life satisfaction. Overtime work hours are associated with increased stress, fatigue,m and greater family-interference which can be detrimental to mental health. Furthermore, previous literature suggests that mental disorders are highly linked to life satisfaction. However, previous literature has focused on factors such as sex and specific occupations, with worker’s preference being . Therefore, we found a gap in the literature when investigating if specific countries who, on average, had longer work weeks had lower levels of life satisfaction and higher occurrence rates of mental disorders. To investigate the effects of long-working hours on mental health and life-satisfaction per country, data were extracted from various Our World in Data databases. Results from this study are still currently being analyzed, but we expect that countries with employees who, on average, work over the normal 40-hour week will have higher rates of mental disorders and lower levels of life satisfaction

Introducing the “Basic Needs Genogram” in Reality Therapy-based Marriage and Family Counseling

The purpose of this article is to address how a genogram can be incorporated in Reality Therapy based family counseling. We will review the core tenets of Reality Therapy, the general therapeutic use of genograms, while introducing the Basic Needs Genogram. Secondly, we will provide a case example to illustrate the use of the Basic Needs Genogram to a family. Finally, we will offer our final thoughts about the therapeutic implications of this intervention tool
