Compliance is not Inclusion: Exploring the Lived Experience of Disabled Occupational Therapy Students and Practitioners
Get PDFWhat is the lived experience of disabled occupational therapists in terms of the supports and barriers encountered during their participation in OT school and OT practice?

Objectives: Help patrons determine genealogy research goals and budget parameters Explore genealogy software options Assist patrons to select genealogy software options based on research goals and budget parameters
This Civic & Social Literacy focused presentation will help librarians work with patrons to select genealogy software.

It is important for amateur genealogists to consider their research goals and budgets to successfully match their needs with software capabilities. This session will provide an overview of genealogy research products and software, focusing on features for the family historian. The session will provide knowledge and skills for the reference librarian to successfully assist patrons to select the right software for their individual needs and budgets
The Bork Nomination and Degradation of Debate
Get PDFThe president’s power to nominate Supreme Court justices could be the tool best-suited for crafting a legacy, for it is the power to impact the nation well beyond the length of his term.

Powell invited the opportunity for President Ronald Reagan to secure a conservative majority on the Supreme Court for the next generation. His nominee was one of the most prominent conservative legal scholars in the nation, and a favorite of the Republican party who boasted an impressive professional record: Judge Robert H. Bork. The announcement sent reverberations through the Senate Judiciary Committee, and in the weeks leading up to the confirmation, the battle was catapulted into the lives of the public. The nomination in its entirety has traditionally been viewed as a low-point in our contemporary political history, but perhaps there was a silver lining. Although the nation was ensnared in a massive battle, the battle itself was ideological. It was unparalleled, not only for its vigor, but also for its substance. Senators and the public alike concerned themselves with legal theory, and it was constitutionally-oriented. Since that day, our nation has not witnessed Supreme Court confirmation hearings marked by such commitment to genuine legal and constitutional debate. Viewing the battle over Bork’s nomination as the prologue to a new era of partisan rancor and polarization, most commentators look back on the episode with regret, forgetting (or not even realizing) that, in many respects, it was far superior to the nomination hearings that followed. Hoping to avoid the fate of Bork, all subsequent nominees have practiced the art of avoidance, for what is not said cannot be held against them...
