Increasingly and more interestingly, the landscape is being shaped by the narratives and experiences of the learners themselves (Creanor et al., 2006, Conole et al., 2006) and the use of Web 2.0 technologies. However, as Laurillard (2007, p.xv) reminds us we still, ‘tend to use technology to support traditional modes of teaching’ and ‘we scarcely have the infrastructure, the training, the habits or the access to the new technology, to be optimising its use just yet’ (p.48). Web 2.0 spaces, literacies and practices offer the possibility for new models of education (Mayes & de Freitas, 2007, p.13) which support iterative and integrative learning but as educators and higher educational establishments are we prepared and ready to re-think our pedagogies and re-do (Beetham & Sharpe 2007, p.3) our practices? This concise paper will reflect upon how the use of new learning landscapes such as eportfolios might offer us the opportunity to reflect upon the implications of letting in the e-learning eportfolio Trojan mouse (Sharpe & Oliver, 2007, p.49)

Dr. Julie Pollock - Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Julie Pollock, Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the School of Artsand Sciences, discusses “Synthesis and characterization of hydrogen peroxide activated estrogen receptor beta ligands,” an article that she and her students recently published in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry. Dr. Pollock’s lab utilizes chemical biology techniques, biochemical methods, and organic synthesis to understand breast cancer and lung cancer development and progression. In particular, they are interested in nuclear receptor function, phosphorylation signaling pathways, and the link between cancer and inflammation
Librarians’ Use of Images on LibGuides and Other Social Media Platforms
No full textThis study compared the use of librarians’ profile images across Web platforms designed for librarian-patron communication. The primary focus was LibGuides profiles at a peer group of ARL institutions. Librarians are currently using a variety of options, including professional head shots, casual head shots, other photos, alternate images, avatars, and no image. Where possible, results were also analyzed by gender. For a smaller selection of libraries, LibGuides photos were compared with Facebook photos to see if different images were used for a professional versus a personal social media setting. This research was done in December 2010 and duplicated in May 2012 to track changes over time. The later study also reviews profile images for the smaller selection of libraries in LinkedIn and ALA Connect. The findings provide a baseline for further comparative research, could also inform individual librarians’ image choices based on patterns among their peers, and gives the profession a starting point for discussions about the types of images librarians use.Peer reviewedThis is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an Article published in Journal of Web Librarianship (2013), available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/19322909.2013.812473

The helping professions
No full textThe Helping Professions is a collection of nonfiction essays that blend personal narrative with reflection and analysis of political and legal topics. The essays explore questions about the relationship between personal and national identity, current experiences of exploitation, and the limits of writing for addressing social conditions and abuses of power.M.F.A.by Julie Chinit

Urban ecosystem ecology at the soil-plant-atmosphere: Studies on a Parisian long-term chronosequence
No full textThe study of urban ecosystems has been expected to provide knowledge on general ecological questions and contribute to global change research, as well as develop practical knowledge on how to improve the contribution of the ecological infrastructure of cities to ecosystem services across scales. Due to the strong, urban-specific entanglement of abiotic factors (high near-ground CO2 concentrations, high amount of reactive nitrogen in the atmosphere, altered climate, light pollution etc.), studying long-term ecological dynamics of urban ecosystems appears essential since it can provide information on net patterns that are invisible on shorter time-scales, help infer the underlying processes and provide insights on the long-term effects of management practices on the ecological infrastructure and its sustainability.
Street tree plantations in Paris were chosen as a model to pursue our investigations on these matters
DIFFERENCES IN CARBON AND NITROGEN STOCKS AND ISOTOPIC COMPOSITIONS REGARDING THE EXPOSURE TIME OF SOILS TO URBAN CONDITIONS: THE CASE OF STREET TREE-PIT SOILS FROM THE CITY OF PARIS
No full textWhen "new" soils, mostly deprived of technogenic materials, are imported into urban from periurban
areas, an important question is to understand how these soils will evolve when exposed to
urban environmental conditions. The soils of street tree-pits in Paris could be an interesting
subject for such investigations. Indeed, when the city of Paris plants a new tree, it removes all the
previous soil from the pit and replaces it by a newly imported soil from peri-urban agricultural
areas. Since there are no artificial nutrient inputs during the tree’s life, whilst its fallen leaves are
removed from the soil, it can be expected that soil carbon and nitrogen stocks would decrease with
time. Furthermore, due to specific urban isotopic signatures of atmospheric carbone and nitrogen
(strongly negative d13C, strongly positive d15N), we can respectively expect a decrease and an
increase of soil d13C and d15N with the aging of trees. The presentation will show the results of a
campaign realized in the summer of 2011 in Paris, where the soils (at 10-30 cm and 30-40 cm
depths) and leaves (4 on the lower canopy) of 79 silver lindens (Tilia tomentosa) were sampled.
The sites were chosen according to three dbh (diameter at breast height) classes : 7-15 cm (n =
28) ; 32-43 cm (n = 29) ; 56-73 cm (n=22). The results will be discussed regarding our hypotheses
and other upcoming analyses on soil microbial communities and their activities
