Sensory Processing Patterns and Internalizing Behaviors in the Pediatric and Young Adult General Population: A Scoping Review

Background: While research has largely focused on the relationship between sensory processing patterns and internalizing behaviors (e.g., anxiety, depression) in children with autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, this relationship is not fully understood among the general population or across development. Method: This scoping review addressed the following research question: How are sensory processing patterns associated with internalizing behaviors (e.g., anxiety, depression) among children with various conditions as well as typically developing children from birth to 22 years of age? Results: Since 2005, n = 97 peer-reviewed articles have addressed this topic and were included in the current review. Overall, findings show a complex interplay between sensory processing patterns, internalizing behaviors, cognitive factors (intolerance of uncertainty, ritualism, cognitive rigidity), and personality characteristics. Discussion: The results of this review showed that research primarily focused on individuals with ASD, and many articles used mediation models to examine complex relationships. Implications for future research are discussed

LibGuides

LibGuides have allowed the College at Brockport librarians to update and design research guides more efficiently and effectively than in the past. They have created a way for librarians to collaborate with faculty outside of the library to improve students’ access to resources. Faculty have been willing to work with librarians as they develop guides specific to their courses

Blended Planning: Teamwork for the Library-2-LMS Conference Spawns New Partnerships

In 2008 the College at Brockport\u27s library and Information Technology (IT) staff stirred up a successful one-day conference: Integrating Library Services into Learning Management Systems. This session will describe the details for planning the conference as well as the practical ideas generated by presenters and participants. It will also show how the library and IT departments\u27 collaboration created unexpected, yet long-term, benefits

Getting Started… & Published: A Hands-on Workshop for Librarians

Does the idea of publishing your own material sound exciting, yet intimidating too? Would you like to spend a few hours with someone who once felt that way but successfully turned several projects and ideas into peer-reviewed published articles and book chapters? Come to this interactive workshop and get inspiration to take your own ideas and research and publish them. Using your regular job duties, interactions with patrons, continuing education opportunities and grant-writing experiences you can generate new ideas for research articles and write about them. Whether you have someone to work with or want to write alone, we will discuss the pros and cons of each, as well as ways to keep organized and creative while writing. We will identify various publishing outlets, including traditional journals and open access titles, and discuss your rights as an author. Learn how to create your own online presence and use your institutional repository (if available) as well as Google Scholar and ORCID. Bring your ideas and your pens or laptops, as we spend time brainstorming, writing, and encouraging each other to just get it done! Jennifer Little Kegler has published journal articles regarding information literacy instruction, faculty collaboration with librarians, and cognitive learning theory and online library research guides. She has presented at the state and national level, including the biennial ACRL conferences. Her research interests include effective library instruction and reference methods and cognitive learning theories, as they relate to online environment. Most recently she has become interested in scholarly communication and is working to familiarize faculty and students alike in the importance of copyright and archiving of “original research.” She is a Reference Librarian and the Library Instruction Coordinator at the College at Brockport, SUNY, where she has worked since 2005. She held similar positions at the University of South Carolina Aiken, Taylor University, IN, and Williams College, MA

Cognitive Load Theory and Library Research Guides

Online library research guides are instructional tools that most libraries provide for their patrons. With greater flexibility in web programming and new products like Springshare’s Libguides librarians have multiple venues for guide creation. This paper seeks to assist research guide editors in assessing their guides based on cognitive load theory. This theory is based on the idea that cognitive capacity for learning is limited and that techniques can be developed to help learners avoid cognitive overload. Addressing the three main sources of cognitive load gives librarians a framework in which to create meaningful and useful research guides

Professional Writing for Librarians

•During this session prospective authors will learn how one librarian wrote and published articles as a sole author, co-author and with a group of authors. Creative opportunities and projects abound in and around the library; the hard part is converting these projects into publishable material. •Discover ways to generate research ideas through regular job duties, patron interactions, coursework, and grants. •Learn how to take ideas and projects and publish them as scholarly articles for library journals. •Bring your own topics and/or drafts, and we will work on them together. •Identify publishing opportunities: both traditional journals and open access titles and peruse helpful publishing resources. •Learn how to create a consistent online presence on Google scholar, ORCID, and/or your institutional repository, where you can also keep track of all types of scholarly work

Conference Proceedings

On April 18, 2008 the College at Brockport\u27s librarians and IT staff stirred up a successful one-day conference: Integrating Library Services into Learning Management Systems. “Library-2-LMS” (its shortened title) was a one-day regional conference where participants learned about ways in which libraries had incorporated information, databases, tutorials, and assessment instruments into learning management systems. The concept for the conference originated during a library/IT meeting. One librarian, with support from several departments, wrote and received a $5000 COCID (Conference on Computing in the Disciplines) grant from the statewide SUNY Technology committee. This amount plus a small registration fee paid by participants covered all aspects of the conference
