Octavofest Guest Speaker Travis McDade
No full textThis Program is in partnership with Octavofest: Celebrating the Book and Paper Arts.
Program: Professor McDade will begin this program with a general discussion of his research, books, and his latest project, with a primary focus on how thefts of valuable rare books have been handled by the law. This discussion will utilize the 2007, 6th Circuit case of the United States vs. Charles Thomas Allen, II, et al. , utilizing the prosecution of Allen and his colleagues for the theft of valuable rare books from the special collections library at Transylvania University (Lexington, KY) as an example of how the law handles the theft of cultural heritage objects. Law, library and information science, anthropology, museum studies, and art students will find this program of interest, as well as professionals in these fields, and other individuals who value the preservation of our cultural heritage.
Travis McDade is the Curator of Law Rare Books and Associate Professor of Library Service and the University of Illinois College of Law. Professor McDade, a lawyer and a librarian, is the country’s foremost expert on crimes against rare books, maps, documents, and other printed cultural heritage resources. He is the author of three books on the subject: The Book Thief: The True Crimes of Daniel Spiegelman; Thieves of Book Row: New York’s Most Notorious Rare Book Ring and the Man Who Ended it; and Disappearing Ink: The Insider, the FBI, and the Looting of the Kenyon College Library.
Refreshments will be served.

Passive restoration and non-invasive monitoring of soft-sediment ecosystems on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada
No full textSoft-sediment ecosystems can be degraded through anthropogenic development, leading to reduced habitat suitability for biological communities. On the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, intensive industrial activity and coastal development has occurred, specifically around the Skeena and Kitimat River Estuaries. In addition to current development, both regions have the potential for further development, while also undergoing passive restoration from historical disturbances. Therefore, I aimed to broaden our understanding of passive restoration and non-invasive monitoring of intertidal soft-sediment ecosystems, by carrying out experiments at mudflats in both estuaries during the summer of 2017. Specifically, I aimed to expand the use of a non-invasive population assessment technique to novel species in soft-sediment ecosystems. Relationships between burrowing decapod abundance and burrow openings have been successfully used to estimate population sizes, but this technique has yet to be applied to large burrowing polychaetes, bivalves, or in regions of high macrofaunal diversity. As such, I assessed mudflats in regions of low (n = 1 species) and high (n = 8 species) biodiversity to determine if macrofauna abundances could be estimated from burrow openings on the sediment surface. Where only one burrowing bivalve species was present, a relationship between burrow openings and population abundance was not feasible, but burrow openings were useful in estimating total macrofaunal community abundance at a high diversity mudflat. This suggests that monitoring through burrow opening counts has the ability to detect overall changes in population abundance. Next, I examined the infaunal community, sediment conditions, and nutrient availability at one intertidal mudflat in the Skeena River Estuary following the cessation of heavy industrial activities (i.e. a salmon cannery and pulp mill) to determine the capacity for passive restoration. Sediment conditions varied spatiotemporally, and nutrient availability showed temporal variation but trends were difficult to relate to historical or current potential disturbances. The legacy of past development is still apparent on the infaunal community in the form of patchy distributions of disturbance-indicating taxa, but the mudflat appears to be in an overall healthy state with a diverse and functioning food web, indicating community recovery from historical activities. Results from these studies indicate passive restoration can be appropriate for estuarine soft-sediment ecosystems, while monitoring population abundance through burrow openings could be a method of detecting disturbances or tracking recovery of macrofaunal populations.Graduate2020-06-2
