“Where Do I Begin?”: An MPLP Approach to the Collection Survey
Common challenges for many archives are limited staffing, competing priorities, and a backlog of unprocessed or minimally processed collections. Existing literature on collection assessment describes surveys that take years to complete. However, gaining intellectual control of collections is an important first step to managing a backlog. In response to the limited resources in most archival contexts, archives have largely embraced the practice of MPLP for processing collections. Can archivists adapt the meeting-minimal-needs approach from MPLP and apply the same strategy to the collection survey? Without very basic metrics, archivists at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries (CU Boulder Libraries) had difficulty advocating for resources and prioritizing collection needs. This case study reports on the survey tool developed by CU Boulder Libraries Archives to assess collection needs. Archivists developed their survey based on identified goals and simplified fields from collection surveys reported by other institutions. They surveyed 1,847 collections, totaling 33,554.29 linear feet, in about ten months, exceeding the pace set by previous collection surveys. Based on survey results, they intend to prioritize processing collections at higher levels of description, to advocate for additional resources, and to finish migrating legacy collections to ArchivesSpace. They will expand on the initial survey by developing future collection surveys, including a reparative description survey to identify specific processing needs for collections identified as having materials from underrepresented groups. This case study serves as a model for initial surveys for other archivists needing to assess their collections, but who are afraid a survey may take resources away from other priorities.</p
Fate In The Flashing Lights
Stories of young adulthood often dwell in the familiar: the confusion of identity, the thrill of first love, and the unpredictable rhythm of growing up. This novella will instead plunge a character who thrives on predictability—Isabella, a shy college freshman—into a world where nothing feels safe or known. When Isabella attends a Halloween party and meets Milo, she doesn’t know that he is the heir to an Italian-American mafia empire. She also doesn’t know that her ordinary life is about to collide with one of power, danger, and impossible choices. Set in the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood, this character-driven novella will explore Isabella’s journey as she is kidnapped by a rival crime family intending to use her as leverage against Milo’s. What begins as a whirlwind romance becomes a test of trust, survival, and transformation. Milo must decide whether to reveal his true identity in order to save her, risking everything he has been groomed to protect, while Isabella must confront what strength and vulnerability look like when the stakes are life and death.</p
Understanding Trends in the Photosymbiosis of a Marine Bivalve using Stable Isotopes
Photosymbiotic relationships are a critical aspect of many marine ecosystems. These symbiotic relationships involve a heterotrophic host and a photosynthetic symbiont that provides organic nutrients in exchange for shelter. While it is widely studied in certain clades, in particular Cnidarians like corals, photosymbiosis is also present in other less studied clades, like the bivalves in subfamily Fraginae. These bivalves house symbionts in their mantle and gill, and have unique morphological adaptations to facilitate the relationship, with each host species relying on their symbionts to a different degree. This study examines Fragum unedo and uses δ13C isotope ratios to identify how a host’s reliance on photosymbiosis changes through its growth, whether certain tissue types receive more photosynthetically derived nutrients, and compare its reliance with a diverse group of other bivalves and cnidarians. The findings indicate that as F. unedo grows, it relies more on nutrition from its symbionts, and that different tissues receive an equal amount despite only some housing symbionts. Additionally, F. unedo relies less on symbionts than other photosymbiotic bivalves. These findings provide important information about the physiology and development of these poorly understood organisms and may help inform future studies on photosymbiosis in both Bivalvia and other clades.</p
Freely Suspended Nematic and Smectic Films and Free-Standing Smectic Filaments in the Ferroelectric Nematic Realm
We show that stable, freely suspended liquid crystal films can be made from the ferroelectric nematic (NF) phase and from the recently discovered polar, lamellar SmZA and SmAF phases. The NF films display two-dimensional, smectic-like parabolic focal conic textures comprising director/polarization bend that are a manifestation of the electrostatic suppression of director splay in the film plane. In the SmZA and SmAF phases, the smectic layers orient preferentially normal to the film surfaces, a condition never found in typical thermotropic or lyotropic lamellar LC phases, with the SmZA films exhibiting focal-conic fan textures mimicking the appearance of typical smectics in glass cells when the layers are oriented normal to the plates, and the SmAF films showing a texture of plaquettes of uniform in-plane orientation where both bend and splay are suppressed, separated by grain boundaries. The SmAF phase can also be drawn into thin filaments, in which X-ray scattering reveals that the smectic layer planes are normal to the filament axis. Remarkably, the filaments are mechanically stable even if they break, forming free-standing, fluid filaments supported only at one end. The unique architectures of these films and filaments are stabilized by the electrostatic self-interaction of the liquid crystal polarization field, which enables the formation of confined, fluid structures that are fundamentally different from those of their counterparts made using previously known liquid crystal phases.</p
