Engaging students from different disciplines and courses in the search for microbes requires an exciting project with innovative but straightforward procedures and goals. Here we describe an interdisciplinary program to engage students from different courses in the sampling, identification and analysis of the DNA sequences of a unique yet common microbe, Delftia spp. A campus-wide challenge was created to identify the prevalence of this genus, able to precipitate gold, involving introductory level environmental and life science courses, upper-level advanced laboratory modules taken by undergraduate students (juniors and seniors), graduate students and staff from the campus. The number of participants involved allowed for extensive sampling while undergraduate researchers and students in lab-based courses participated in the sample processing and analyses, helping contextualize and solidify their learning of the molecular biology techniques. The results were shared at each step through publicly accessible websites and workshops. This model allows for the rapid discovery of Delftia presence and prevalence and is adaptable to different campuses and experimental questions.}, number={4}, journal={PeerJ}, publisher={PeerJ}, author={Riley, N. and Goller, C.C. and Leggett, Z.H. and Lewis, D. and Ciccone, K. and Dunn, R.R.}, year={2020}, month={Apr}, pages={e8925} }

Given that their instructional capacity is already stretched thin, many librarians are apprehensive about developing classes to support these emerging topics. To overcome these challenges, librarians at the NCSU Libraries and the UNC Health Sciences Library developed a shared suite of instructional materials for bioinformatics workshops that are now offered at both campuses. This presentation will discuss the benefits and challenges of developing instructional materials across institutions, and will share our experiences using tools like Box and Open Science Framework to facilitate this initiative. The presentation will close with a discussion of other topics that may be well-suited for multi-institutional collaboration.

Understand E-Book Accessibility}, DOI={10.5703/1288284316685}, abstractNote={The decisions that we make when reviewing our collections and negotiating licenses have enormous effects on our users. They also have the potential to, in turn, shape the priorities and decisions of publishers and platform creators. The questions we ask and standards we set now set the stage for the chapters our users inherit. And while users with special access needs might not form a large percentage of our current user population, they will always be part of that population. For e‐ book accessibility, it can be difficult to draw the line between what is essential, what is aspirational, and what isn’t (yet) applicable. There are numerous standards, some that are fundamental to providing access to users, some that you might be told don’t apply, and some that will matter more and more as the e‐ book changes and becomes a fuller, richer text. Our goal in this session is to share what we’ve learned about what accessibility assessment resources publishers are likely to provide you with, what the different sections of those documents mean, how to look at the information you have and make a judgment on how accessible an e‐ book on a platform would be, and how to incorporate accessibility in collection selection and licensing negotiations so that ultimately the de facto design of e‐ books is one that supports access by all library users.}, booktitle={Charleston Library Conference 2017}, publisher={Purdue e-Pubs}, author={Song, Xiaoyan and Lewis, Danica M.}, year={2017}, pages={96–100} }

To offer readers a coherent and seamless reading experience, the New York Public Library (NYPL) initiated a project called SimplyE (or LibrarySimplified). The end user deliverable of this project is an application (Android, iOS) that enables users to read ebooks from multiple vendors through a single interface, thereby delivering a Netflix-style experience for searching, browsing, and checking out ebooks. The back end consists of applications that manage ebook collections, circulation, and metadata for libraries.
