Bibliography of Nebraska Geology, 1843-1976

Preface The computer brightened the 1970s considerably by giving researchers a tool for storing, retrieving and manipulating electronically sizable blocks of literary material on a single subject. which would otherwise have cost researchers years of scholarly investigation to bring together. It was in such a propitious moment mat we set out to assemble this state bibliography as an aid to scholars, researchers. scientists, teachers, writers, editors, and decision makers in the earth sciences, universities, and all levels of government. As we collected, compiled, and checked citations for this bibliography, we relied heavily on the following standard sources that have indexed segments of the geologic literature of Nebraska: Bibliography of North American Geology (U.S. Geological Survey); Bibliography and Index of Geology (Geologic Society of America and American Geological Institute): Bibliography of Theses Written for Advanced Degrees in Geology and Related Sciences at Universities and Colleges in the United States and Canada Through 1957 (Chronic and Chronic): Bibliography of Theses in Geology, 1958·1963 (Chronic and Chronic); Bibliography of Theses in Geology. 1964 (Ward); Bibliography of Theses in Geology, 1965-1966 (Ward and O\u27Callaghan); Bibliography of Theses in Geology, 1967-1970 (Ward); and Dissertation Abstracts International (University Microfilms). Other important bibliographies checked for references were The List of Publications of the Nebraska Geological Survey (Barbour); Bibliography of Nebraska Geology and Mineral Resources, 1814-1941 (unpublished manuscript by W. R. Johnson; Geological Section of Nebraska (Condra and Reed); The Geological Bibliography of Nebraska (Barbour and Fisher); and List of Publications (Conservation and Survey Division). Additional references were collected from public catalogs of the University Libraries of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As many as possible original publications were consulted In the process of collecting citations for this bibliography. When original documents were not available for verification, we relied on secondary sources for bibliographic data. These items were rechecked in other secondary sources whenever possible to ensure accuracy of the data. The KWIC computer software program used to prepare the keyword index was provided by the Computation Center at the University or Texas at Austin. Dr. Thomas A. Griffy, chairman of the Department of Physics, University of Texas, made available both computer time and computer laboratory facilities in support or this project. Special appreciation goes to Lyle Schreiner, science librarian at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, who provided administrative support and encouragement for the project. A special word of thanks goes to the faculty of the Conservation and Survey Division, many of whom helped to locate fugitive references and to resolve sticky bibliography problems. Those who read the entire manuscript and offered helpful suggestions include Professors Ray Bentall, Marvin P. Carlson, Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., and Roger K. Pabian. We assume responsibility for any shortcomings that remain In the text. And because few if any major bibliographies are ever complete, we invite readers to send us additions, corrections, or emendations that may prove useful in any subsequent revision or extension of this bibliography

An Innovative Approach for Creating a Self-Guided Video Tour in an Academic Library

Millions of students visit academic libraries each year, hoping to achieve success in the classroom and make progress with their research. Many of these students need help in navigating the complex services, collections, and facilities of a large academic library. Librarians often respond to this need by offering in-person orientation tours. However, with this approach, library personnel are unable to reach all who need assistance. Furthermore, the schedules of busy students and busy librarians do not always coincide, and students may prefer to learn about the library in a more flexible, self-paced fashion. It’s known that in-person tours are a time-consuming and costly way to teach students about the library. If an in-person tour is not feasible, a self-guided tour is often an acceptable alternative for familiarizing students with the library. Many well-established museums have implemented self-guided tours with much success. The time and other resources used to create a self-guided tour yield huge benefits. A self-guided tour can be used many times, with only a one-time developmental cost. Furthermore, a self-guided tour can reach a wide audience at the convenience of all. This paper describes the development and implementation of a self-guided video tour in an academic library. The tour uses a digital, multimedia player and streaming video for content delivery and targets more than 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students in science, engineering, and nursing at the University of Alabama

Account-making: A model for understanding and resolving distressful reactions to retirement from sport

In this paper, we examine the account-making model of Harvey, Weber, and Orbuch(1990) as a framework for understanding negative reactions to retirement from competitive sport. Theoretical aspects of the model are first summarized, and a case study is then presented to illustrate the central role of account-making in the adjustment process for an Olympic gold medallist. We conclude by suggesting ways that sport psychology consultants can facilitate account-making and thereby help athletes to cope with distressful reactions to retirement

A Subject Catalog of the Peat Research Materials in the Natural Resources Library

Peat research materials from the Natural Resources Library are located in the University Digital Conservancy and in the University Libraries catalog.This book is a subject catalog of the peat research materials in the Natural Resources Library at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. The content is organized into two parts. Part A contains the complete, subject catalog. Each entry in the subject catalog includes basic descriptive information, such as author, title, date, pagination, and publisher. The call number following each entry shows the location of the item in the Natural Resources Library. Part B is a Subject Index. The subject terms used here are basically keywords (uncontrolled vocabulary) from the documents. The keywords represent words from titles, abstracts, and in some cases, the actual content of the documents being indexed. The bulk of the subject headings are constructed around two principal terms, peat and peatlands. The distinction is whether peat the material is the focus of study or whether peat is looked at primarily in a geographical context. For example, a laboratory analysis of sphagnum would be found under the heading peat, whereas a discussion of wildlife ecology would be indexed under peatlands. Both peat and peatlands are extensively subdivided. When using this type of index, several terms must often be considered to ensure a complete search. Some basic rules for searching apply. Scientific or non-technical terminology may be used. Hierarchical terminology is common. Subject matter may be indexed at wildlife and birds, at horticulture and vegetables. Words and phrases with similar meanings often appear. One needs to look at trace elements and heavy metals, at pyrolysis and combustion, for example. Each term in the Subject Index is followed by a specific page reference, to facilitate moving through the book. A companion volume entitled The Farnham Peat Collection: Author Catalog of Peat Research Materials in the Natural Resources Library provides additional access to these materials. The peat holdings in the Natural Resources Library are almost entirely the personal library of Dr. Rouse S. Farnham, professor of Soil Science at the University of Minnesota, now retired. Dr. Farnham donated his library to the Natural Resources Research Institute at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, in 1986

Paramedic students’ confidence and satisfaction with clinical simulations of an emergency medical care programme in South Africa: A cross-sectional study.

Background: There has been an increase in the use of clinical simulations as instructional tools in healthcare education. This is because of their role in ensuring patients’ safety and quality-care provision. Aim: This study investigated the paramedic students’ satisfaction and self-confidence in the clinical simulation of an emergency medical care programme. Setting: The study was conducted at the Durban University of Technology in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. The paramedic students’ satisfaction and self-confidence in the clinical simulation of an emergency medical care programme were the focus of the study. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional research design. A convenience sampling method was used to select the 83-paramedic students who participated in the study. Data were collected between July and September 2017 using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages and Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient) and an inferential test, ordinal logistic regression analysis, were used for data analysis. Results: High levels of paramedic students’ satisfaction and self-confidence in simulation activities were reported. Generally, the paramedic students’ demographics were associated with the satisfaction and self-confidence variables with p-values ≤ 0.04. Emergency medical care training undertaken by the paramedic students was significantly associated with self-confidence (p = 0.00). Conclusion: Clinical simulation can bridge the theory-practice gap for paramedic students. It is a hands-on approach that promotes students learning of clinical skills through reflection
