Capturing Library Stories: The Past, Present, and Future in the HLA Newsletter
Get PDFPresentation slides.Beginning in 1944, the HLA Journal/Newsletter has documented the activities of the Association as well as Hawaiʻi's close-knit library community. The intent of the publication has been to take a snapshot of what local librarianship has looked like over the years and how library professionals have responded to current events. Want to know what happened to the Punahou School Library during World War II? Did you know that the Hawaiian Telecom librarians staffed Directory Assistance during a company strike in 1974? Those stories are in past newsletters, and old issues are publicly available for you to browse. After a decade of being out-of-commission, the Newsletter was revitalized in 2019 under the name of Kolekole, or “talk story.” The presenters will share how the newsletter was relaunched last year, the goals in capturing the stories of our community, and how you can contribute. Let’s all do our part to ensure that our local library achievements and activities are documented for future generations
Deep Fake Videos
Get PDFPresentation slidesThis session provides an overview of the latest social media trend --DeepFake Videos. We'll look at how they are created; how can you detect them; and, what are governments and corporations doing to curb them. This technology has the potential for both very good and very, very bad. In an age where “seeing is believing,” what happens when you can no longer trust what you see? The advent of DeepFakes makes media literacy more important than ever during times of widespread disruption
Nobody Taught Me This in Library School! Adapting to the New Normal
Get PDFPresentation slidesNo one taught me about this in library school! Staff at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Library struggles to understand what our community needs from us, how we can provide it, and how to do so while keeping staff and patrons as safe as possible. We will talk about successes and failures with safe programming, trying to bridge the digital divide by loaning equipment, and conducting a safe Summer Reading Program. We will also talk about new considerations for the era of COVID-19, and how we've adapted our staffing and services to be prepared
A Look at Diachronic Phonological Processes in Inthii Oy
Get PDFThis study examines phonological processes from a diachronic view in the understudied West Bahnaric language Oy, Inthii village variety, Attapeu Province, Lao PDR. The paper, based on 1800 lexical entries collected from two speakers, provides an expansion of Sidwell & Jacq’s (2003) phonological sketch of Oy and their observations on its historical development. This study covers lenition of main syllable onsets, diphthongization processes, r/l contrast, development of velar clusters, and nasal minor syllables. The appendix provides phonetic and phonological transcriptions of all entries with English and Lao glosses and links to the recordings
Parasitological Survey of Cichlidae in the Sea-of-Galilee
Get PDFThe results of a parasitological survey conducted since January 2012 till January 2014 in the littoral zone of the Sea-of-Galilee are presented. The parasites were identified, and their prevalence, density, and geographic distribution were studied. Wet-preparations were used for detection and identification of the parasites. In the described time period, a total of 200 adults and 200 fingerlings of the following fish species Sarotherodon galiaeus (68%), Tilapia zillii (20%) and Oreochromis aureus (12%). The fish were collected from four dispersed coasts of the lake. The primary results of the survey indicate that 30% of examined fish were infected with ciliates. The prevalence of myxozoa was 18% in adults, mostly in the spleen, and was lower in fingerlings, exhibiting prevalence of only 8%. High prevalence of trematode metacercaria was found in fingerlings, (85%), significantly higher than in adults (36%). The most common trematode metacercaria found were Neascus sp. and Bolbophorus sp. These parasites were found mostly in the brain and eyes. Surprisingly, the following trematodes: Clinostomum, Euclinostomum, Neascus and Bolbophorus, which were missing in the previous study conducted on 1999- 2002, were commonly found in the current study. In light of the findings of the present study as compared to previous ones, it seems that there is a change in metacercaria species throughout the years. It is likely that the changes in the composition of the parasites population found in this survey are related to changes in habitat conditions that affected the survival of the intermediate host communities
