Linearity vs. Literacy: Teaching IL as Epistemological Inquiry
No full textInformation literacy instruction, despite its widely-acknowledged value in higher education, is frequently hobbled by a variety of constraints, both pragmatic and intellectual. One of the subtlest and most damaging of these is the implicit linear model promoted by standard writing curricula and ironically abetted by well-intentioned librarians struggling to juggle true literacy instruction and teacher expectations of the library session. When relegated to an adjunct position vis a vis the real subject matter of a writing course, the value of IL instruction is occluded and results stunted. Against this, I suggest that when IL is approached as a process of epistemological inquiry, the role of IL work in the internal life of the undergraduate can be seen for the portable, supple concept-skill it is. While necessarily less tidy, such a model liberates our instruction from dry, rote coverage of library-tool checklists and simple skills and offers students to develop meaningful awareness of information landscapes and themselves as information users
Diversification Of The Phaseoloid Legumes: Effects Of Climate Change, Range Expansion And Habit Shift
No full textUnderstanding which factors have driven the evolutionary success of a group is a fundamental question in biology. Angiosperms are the most successful group in plants and have radiated and adapted to various habitats. Among angiosperms, legumes are a good example for such successful radiation and adaptation. We here investigated how the interplay of past climate changes, geographical expansion and habit shifts has promoted diversification of the phaseoloid legumes, one of the largest clades in the Leguminosae. Using a comprehensive genus-level phylogeny from three plastid markers, we estimate divergence times, infer habit shifts, test the phylogenetic and temporal diversification heterogeneity, and reconstruct ancestral biogeographical ranges. We found that the phaseoloid lineages underwent twice dramatic accumulation. During the Late Oligocene, at least six woody clades rapidly diverged, perhaps in response to the Late Oligocene warming and aridity, and a result of rapidly exploiting new ecological opportunities in Asia, Africa and Australia. The most speciose lineage is herbaceous and began to rapidly diversify since the Early Miocene, which was likely ascribed to arid climates, along with the expansion of seasonally dry tropical forests in Africa, Asia, and America. The phaseoloid group provides an excellent case supporting the idea that the interplay of ecological opportunities and key innovations drives the evolutionary success

From Craft to Industry: The Boat Builders of Holland (Poll Manufacturing 1954-1960)
No full textPoll Manufacturing (1954-1960): Clyde Poll and his father manufactured fiberglass boats at their Poll Manufacturing plant starting in 1954, the year Clyde graduated from Holland High School. Poll Manufacturing produced fiberglass boats called Wonder Craft. They also produced hulls for other local boat manufacturers such as Ken-Craft boats, Slick Craft Boat Company and Lubbers in Hudsonville. They sold boats to the local Sears store that were branded under the Elgin name. Clyde closed down the boat manufacturing part of the company in 1960 due to the smell and conditions associated with the fiberglass boat manufacturing process.

From Craft to Industry: The Boat Builders of Holland (Chris Craft Corporation 1939-1989 Picture 2)
No full textChris-Craft Corporation (1939-1989): The Chris-Craft Corporation was based in Algonac, Michigan, and built its second plant, the largest of its kind under one roof at the time, in Holland in 1939. Reasons for building in Holland included the ample supply of woodworkers and lack of labor unions. Located at the corner of Aniline and Douglas avenues, the plant employed up to 700 workers at one time. During World War II they built military craft like the landing craft used on D-Day. After the war they returned to building large wooden cruisers and later fiberglass boats before closing the plant in 1989.
