Changing Faces: The Journey to a New Leeward Community College Library Website
No full textPresentation slidesIn Spring 2015, the Leeward Community College Library embarked on a journey to redesign its fourth-generation website which originally launched in 2010. A multitude of factors sparked this quest: changing user needs/expectations, feedback from patrons, new online resources, emerging web design trends, and the opportunity to experiment with Drupal (the campus Content Management System) and LibGuides. Join us as we re-live this grueling, enlightening, and ultimately rewarding 20-month odyssey that culminated in our new fifth-generation website, which launched in August 2016. We will share lessons learned and show you how we built a website through determination, collaboration, and creativity

Survival Dynamics and Colonization of Exogenous Probiotic Bacteria Bacillus subtilis in Aquaculture Water and Intestine of Zebra Fish (Danio rerio)
Get PDFAdaptability of probiotic bacteria is an important trait for the survival and colonization in water or fish intestine and the performance of their bio-control function. Bacillus is a widely used genus of probiotic bacteria in aquaculture. However, its survival dynamics and effect on water or fish intestine is still unclear. In this study, we assessed the survival dynamics of exogenous Bacillus subtilis Bst51 and its effect on the microbial community structure in water and fish intestine by using green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeling and bacteriological methods. Results showed that GFP labeling was an efficient method for detection of the survival of B. subtilis in the water column and fish intestine. Our results showed that when administered only once, the concentration of Bst51 in water declined to one-tenth of the original concentration and reached a stable state after 24 h. This confirmed that Bst51 strain was able to survive and colonize in aquaculture water with concentrations higher than 103 CFU (Colony Forming Units)/mL. The concentration of Bst51 cells in zebra fish intestine decreased slightly and remained constant at around 5×106 CFU/g after only one treatment. The results confirmed that if Bst51 cells have a concentration of over 109 CFU/mL they can survive and colonize in zebra fish intestine
Aeromonas veronii Infection in Cultured Channel Catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, in Southwest China
Get PDFAeromonas spp. are ubiquitous inhabitants of aquatic ecosystems, and are increasingly being reported as important pathogens for aquatic and terrestrial animals, as well as humans. A common bacterial disease caused by A.veronii has appeared in cultured channel catfish producing symptoms of erythema, hemorrhages, skin ulcers and high mortality (˃30%) in China, causing great economic loss. From 2007 to 2013, diseased channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, displaying symptoms of septicemia, ulceration, or abdominal dropsy were collected from Southwestern China. The goals of this study were to identify the bacterial strains isolated from diseased fish and to determine the susceptibility of the pathogenic strains to many currently available antimicrobial agents. 18 bacterial isolates were obtained from diseased fish. Based on phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, all isolates were identified as A. veronii. These results indicate that the microbiological risk posed by A. veronii is considerable for channel catfish cultured in Southwestern China. Susceptibility of the isolates to antibiotics was tested using the agar dilution method. All 18 A. veronii isolates were sensitive to florfenicol, norfloxacin and chloramphenicol, and were resistant to cefradine, clindamycin, midecamycin, penbritin, and amoxicillin. There were sensitivity diversities of the 18 A. veronii isolates to other test antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole, deoxycycline, gentamycin, tobramycin, and more. This in vitro study provides enough data to recommend the use of these antibiotics for treating infectious diseases caused by A. veronii
