Adoption of NISO’s Shared Electronic Resource Understanding (SERU) at US Academic Libraries
Get PDFFollowing the emergence of electronic resources (e-resources), librarians developed licensing guidelines, standards, models, and understandings to educate, increase efficiencies, and retain rights afforded by copyright law. To reduce licensing burdens, the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) released the Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU) in 2008, a set of “understandings” created and agreed upon by libraries and vendors. The author conducted a survey in 2017 of licensing practices and SERU use at libraries. The survey analyzed 108 responses from US academic libraries signing at least one license in the twelve months preceding the survey.Carter, Sunshine J. (2019).

Rockburst monitoring at the Sunshine Mine, Kellogg, Idaho
Get PDFThe rockburst monitoring system at the Sunshine Mine has recently been improved to increase the certainty of burst locations and to output location results in a manner amenable to easy interpretation. Three methods of location calculation were used: a computer code provided with the hardware in-place (the MP-250), a code based on the least-squares method (Blake et al, 1974), and a nonlinear iterative code written by the principal author. The more accurate locations are given by the latter two codes, but still are only correct to within about 100 ft. This error is due to uncertainties introduced by the geologic and mining variations versus the assumptions made in the location codes. Software was written to make two-dimensional plots of burst location by level, so management could monitor problems easily. 8 refs., 5 figs

Reinvestment Alert 17: CRA Sunshine Rules and You: How Nonprofits Can Avoid Being Left in the Dark
Get PDF"Sunshine" is the shorthand name for a new provision in federal law that requires nonprofits and others to disclose and report to federal regulators on certain agreements, contracts, or grants that they have with banks. This Alert outlines the basic things that nonprofits need to know in order to comply with the rules. It discusses what types of agreements are covered under "Sunshine;" what constitutes a "Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Communication" for the purposes of "Sunshine;" and how to disclose and produce annual reports for "Sunshine" agreements. While "Sunshine" is, in the view of many community advocates and bankers, an unnecessary provision that arbitrarily imposes reporting requirements on private transactions, compliance should not be too burdensome. Organizations can generally comply with the law using financial documents that they already have on hand. Woodstock Institute is taking the stance that it is easier for groups that are not sure if "Sunshine" applies to them to assume it does rather than spend time trying to figure out whether or not they are covered. In 1999, Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act (or "GLBA") and President Clinton signed it into law. GLBA broke down the barriers that have existed since the Depression between banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and mortgage companies. These firms can now legally merge, acquire one another, and own one another for the first time in almost 70 years. Community groups, nonprofits, and other advocates for low-income communities fought to expand the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to those companies that banks could mergewith/acquire under the new law. CRA encourages banks and savings and loans to serve all communities, including low and moderate-income areas, where they take deposits and in which they are chartered. However, these advocates were unsuccessful, and GLBA does not extend CRA to mortgage companies, insurance agencies and securities firms. As GLBA was being debated, certain legislators who do not support CRA argued that community groups and nonprofits were unfairly extracting money from banks using CRA pressure. "Sunshine" came out of this notion that nonprofits should be more accountable to communities about how they use their funds. Though many argued against "Sunshine," including nonprofits, financial institutions, legislators, and others, the provision passed and is now part of GLBA. It is important to note that the CRA has not been changed in any way by this provision. Also, those who opposed "Sunshine" were very successful in encouraging reasonable reporting requirements. However, there remains substantial confusion over the regulation. This document should help clarify "Sunshine" rules for nonprofits

For decades, legislators, scholars, and practitioners have expressed dismay over financial conflicts of interest between pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and the physicians who use their products. Industry now spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually complying with the Sunshine Act—enacted a decade ago to provide patients with insight into whether their physicians’ recommendations may be tainted by payments from manufacturers. Yet despite its goal of providing transparency, few patients know this information exists, and examination of the program reveals its problems run far deeper than lack of publicity. Join Professor Jacob Elberg as he analyzes key questions striking at the heart of the doctor-patient relationship and proposes a new policy aimed at restoring trust in the health care system.
Bio:Professor Elberg is the Director of the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law at Seton Hall Law School, where he teaches in the areas of Health Law, Health Care Fraud and Abuse, Evidence, and Data Analytics. His areas of interest include corporate crime and compliance, the role of various actors in the enforcement of health care fraud laws and regulations, and criminal justice policy. He was selected as Seton Hall Law School Faculty Teacher of the Year in 2021.
Prior to joining Seton Hall Law School, Professor Elberg served for 11 years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey. As Chief of the Office’s Health Care & Government Fraud Unit for five years, Professor Elberg led one of the largest and most impactful health care units in the country, supervising a team of 15 AUSAs and directing all of the Office’s criminal and civil investigations and prosecutions of health care fraud offenses, including investigations and prosecutions of fraud against the government and private health insurance plans, illegal kickback schemes, violations of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, and the improper diversion of prescription drugs including opioids, as well as all health care-related actions brought by the Office under the False Claims Act. In addition, Professor Elberg supervised and directed investigations regarding Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, as well as fraud against certain other government agencies and programs. Professor Elberg launched the District of New Jersey’s Data Mining Working Group and spearheaded the Office’s efforts to utilize data analytics to identify, investigate, and prosecute health care fraud offenses
Sunshine Outpost
Get PDFSunshine Outpost by Nez Smith presents a comprehensive thesis integrating historical, cultural, and conceptual perspectives on mental health care with the proposal for a community-based mental health center in North Hollywood, California. Rooted in the author\u27s academic journey and personal commitment to community service, the document explores the evolution of mental health treatment, from ancient spiritual interpretations to modern-day community psychiatry. It highlights key developments such as moral treatment in the 19th century, the rise and fall of state institutions, and the legislative reforms of the 20th century, including the Short-Doyle Act and the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in California.
The proposed Sunshine Outpost is envisioned as a neighborhood mental health center embedded in the First United Methodist Church of North Hollywood. It aims to provide preventive, outpatient, and rehabilitative services in a non-medical, community-focused setting. The center would primarily serve elderly residents, single-parent families, and minority populations—groups identified as being at high risk for mental health challenges. Emphasizing group processes and therapeutic environments, the project promotes a humanistic and inclusive model of care, where clients are treated with dignity and engaged in personal and communal growth.
The thesis also outlines practical implementation strategies, including community advisory boards, staffing plans, and partnership development with local organizations. Drawing on theories from Caplan, Sullivan, and others, Smith argues that empowering neighborhoods to manage their own mental health services fosters stronger, healthier communities. Sunshine Outpost ultimately represents a visionary and deeply personal contribution to community mental health, blending academic rigor with lived experience and advocacy
