No full textBehind the Curtain: How Library of Congress Vocabulary Terms Are Created and Maintained
No full textPresented as part of the panel, Unveiling the Fictions, Politics, and Distortions in the Scholarly Information Ecosystem, at the 2025 annual conference of the American Folklore Society in Atlanta, Georgia.The Library of Congress (LC) maintains a set of controlled vocabulary terms that are used to describe and promote the discovery of materials through library catalogs and online databases around the world. But how are these terms added and maintained, and what determines which term is the “authorized” heading displayed to researchers and other users? Intended as an overview for non-librarians, this presentation attempts to remove the mystery surrounding these processes and discuss some of the current forces, such as critical cataloging, metadata remediation and the political climate, on LC vocabulary terms
Applying Directed Evolution to Improve Gamillus Luminescent Biosensors
No full textWith the ongoing battle against antibiotic resistance, scientists must find a way to develop improved treatments against bacterial infections as bacteria continues to quickly evolve. Many antibiotic and bacterial studies are conducted using bioluminescent proteins that can function as biosensors. These biosensors are crucial to the efficient and accurate detection of certain analytes in a solution. Our research resides in the improvement of these biosensors, specifically the Gamillus fluorescent protein. To improve these biosensors, we will be facilitating directed evolution onto the proteins and selecting for the optimal traits which we observe. With this approach, we will improve the sensitivity and specificity of these fluorescent biosensors
Empowering Youth: Reducing RecidivismThrough Advocacy and Community-Based Programs
No full text2025 winner of the "Outstanding Poster Presentation Award"I will present my internship with Open Door Youth Services, an organization dedicated to providing a safe environment for ages 10-21. We offer residential care, after-school programs, psychological evaluations, therapy, crisis management, and emergency shelter for those abruptly removed from home. In my internship, I researched and advocated for alternatives to traditional juvenile processing with the goal of reducing recidivism, unnecessary out-of-home placements, and further victimization. These alternative programs included youth advocate and mentorship programs, police-based diversion programs, and community-based programs that offer a combination of therapy, vocational training,educational assistance, and rehabilitation

Best Practices in SPSS
No full textNeela Klein is a Social Psychology PhD Candidate from the PBS Department working with Advisor, Dr. Kurt Hugenberg. As a consultant at the Indiana Statistical Consulting Center with an MS in Experimental Psychology from William & Mary, and a BA in Psychology from University of Richmond, Neela specializes in experimental and survey design, as well as race and gender research.
Elizabeth Ray is a Social Psychology PhD Candidate from the PBS Department working with Advisor, Dr. Ed Hirt. She joined the Indiana Statistical Consulting Center as a Consultant in the spring of 2023. She earned her MS in Psychology in 2022 as well as a BS in Psychology, Philosophy, and Sociology with concentrations in social research and ethics at the University of Indianapolis.SPSS is a common data analysis program for work in Social Sciences. It offers a point of access for data cleaning, description, and analyses in a user-friendly manner. Different from programs like R that require coding, SPSS provides a “point and click” interface that allows you to use the program intuitively. Behind the scenes of this “point and click” interface, though, SPSS can provide, generate and execute code FOR YOU, making it an accessible option for researchers aiming to improve transparency and replicability of their analyses. SPSS is a powerful and approachable tool for anyone looking to view, describe, clean, edit, or analyze data with simple to complex statistical analyses.
The goal of this workshop is to provide an accessible, applied, and practical understanding of how to use SPSS. The workshop will begin with a description of the software including a detailed map of how to interact with the software, how to view previously collected data, how to subsect data and create composite variables, and how to create both descriptive visuals of data. We will cover how to execute and interpret various statistical analyses (e.g. ANOVAs, correlations, and regressions). The workshop will include both the point and click method of interacting with SPSS as well as cover how to generate and work with syntax (i.e. SPSS code). Though not required, to make the most of your attendance, arrive with the SPSS software (provided for free for IU faculty, students, and staff) already downloaded
