    R U Up for the Challenge? A Partnership to Measure Library Impact on Student Learning: Rutgers University Libraries & Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Degree Achievement Program

    Rutgers University Libraries seek to support the goal of the Rutgers University Mission Assessment and Alignment Planning system (MAAP) which is "to clarify the contributions of various programs and units to the fulfillment of the Rutgers-New Brunswick undergraduate educational experience mission/goals, and to facilitate and encourage assessment and alignment of outcomes and progress toward those goals." Toward this end, the Libraries have focused on measuring the impact of its instruction program via the McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program (MPBAP). This prestigious program provides a unique opportunity to track cohorts of students over 10 years. The goal is to have these students enroll in doctoral programs. We are seeking to find out: Do students in the Bibliography & Research Techniques library class in the Summer Research Institute of the MPBAP retain and transfer information literacy skills to other courses and academic research as they persist in the MPBAP program? In addition to the assessment instruments already in use by the McNair department, (Graduate Student Profile Progress Report) for long term impact, other instruments are being used by the Libraries: pre-post tests and surveys. This poster will present the assessment methods in place as we begin to track our first cohort (Summer 2015).This project is part of the program “Assessment in Action: Academic Libraries and Student Success” which is undertaken by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) in partnership with the Association for Institutional Research and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. The program, a cornerstone of ACRL's Value of Academic Libraries initiative, is made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services

    A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1

    Spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
