Lily Robert-Foley, The Duty to Presence
No full textThis book is an extended and formally mixed prose poem on the experience of becoming a mother, and particularly on spending the everyday every day with a baby, observing their development and attempting to record what one perceives. The author, Lily Robert-Foley is an American writer; she is also a translator, university teacher, and artist, and she is a playful thinker with an interest in feminist and queer resistance. Her previous publications range from a novel to a book on experimental translation; this is her first published book of poetry
Chloride fluxes in lily pollen tubes: a critical reevaluation
No full textMicroelectrodes, made from a Cl?-selective liquid ion exchanger previously used to measure putative Cl- fluxes in Lilium longiflorum pollen tubes, were characterized. The electrodes were poorly selective, possessing only about 10-fold selectivity for Cl? over other anions tested. They had only 2.4-fold selectivity for Cl? over the anionic form of the H+ buffer, MES, indicating that the electrode can indirectly detect H+ gradients. Apparent anion influx was detected along the pollen tube shafts and at the grains while apparent anion efflux was detected near the tip of the tube. During oscillating growth, the peak of the oscillating apparent anion efflux at the tip occurred, on average, 7.9 sec after the peak of the growth oscillations. Consideration of the previously characterized H+ fluxes in lily pollen grains and tubes, as well as the poor anion selectivity of the Cl? electrodes, indicates that the putative Cl? fluxes are in fact changes in the anionic concentration of the buffer resulting from H+ gradients and not changes in Cl? concentration. The claim of a central role for Cl? in lily pollen tube growth is further undermined by the fact that these tubes grow at the same rate if the Cl? content of the growth medium is reduced to trace levels (?31 ?m), and that the grains have only small reserves of Cl?. These results lead to the conclusion that Cl? fluxes are not a significant component of pollen tube growth and Cl? itself is not required for growt
Wikipedia and undergraduate research trajectories
No full textPurpose
This study analyses undergraduate students’ use of Wikipedia bibliographies. The study has implications for Wikipedia as a “discovery tool” of library collections, library instructional practices, and understanding the complex ecology of students’ research processes.
Design/methodology/approach
30 undergraduate students were recruited from introductory English writing classes. A controlled survey was conducted in Qualtrics®, including the following sections: 1) pre and post test of students’ understanding of authority/quality of sources, 2) tasks analyzing participants’ choices for further research after reading a Wikipedia article, and 3) students’ determination of the authority/quality of sources in Wikipedia reference pages, using an adapted version of the Turnitin® Source Educational Evaluation Rubric (SEER).
Findings
The investigator found that students were unlikely to follow references they found in bibliographies of Wikipedia pages. This was expressed most clearly in their comments, which revealed that Wikipedia’s reference sections are found to be too overwhelming and numerous. These entries are depicted by order of appearance in the text and are not ranked, or presented in an order students considered useful. Participants were not likely use Wikipedia as a discovery tool of library content because they perceived Wikipedia as being markedly different, even in opposition to, library resources. Students disclosed being warned by their faculty and instructors not to use the online encyclopedia at all in their research process. However, paradoxically, after reading a Wikipedia article, students were most likely to go to Google, or revisit Wikipedia, for more information, as opposed to using the library. Study participants reported that “ease of access” is the most important consideration when choosing sources to include in research papers, followed by the actual authority/quality of these sources. Students also greatly benefited from having a structured rubric available at the point of their research process when they are asked to determine the authority/quality of sources, and especially within Wikipedia bibliographies.
Practical Implications
The findings of the study offer suggestions for both the design aspect of Wikipedia and the instructional methods of academic librarians. This study also informs library practices and emerging collaborations with Wikipedia, specifically the “Wikipedian in Residence” program and the concept of using Wikipedia as one type of a discovery tool.
Originality/Value
There is a lack of empirical evidence showing how or if students use Wikipedia bibliographies to continue their research. The possibility of the online encyclopedia as a discovery tool for library collections is relatively unknown and unexplored. The topic of collaboration between Wikipedia and libraries is new and emerging in the field.
Research Limitations
This is a small-scale study of students’ use of Wikipedia in one university campus, but its results can spark a discussion of the larger question of undergraduates’ research trajectories. The findings of the study suggest that these trajectories are extremely influenced by two conflicting issues: faculty influence and resource convenience. The researchers plan to extend the study to include faculty’s perceptions of the value of Wikipedia to undergraduate students’ research, including faculty’s own involvement as Wikipedia editors and contributors. Future research of undergraduate’s use of Wikipedia could benefit from a greater recruitment of participants across a diverse pool of academic institutions, as well as a mixed research method of observation, task analysis, and interviews.Peer reviewe

Entre le mémoire et la mémoire (et les mémoires) : Traduction creative, critique et collaborative
No full textIf ChatGPT could write a translation memoir of one of its translations, what would it look like? To what extent can ChatGPT author its own translation memoir? What does the 'translation memoir' (Grass & Robert Foley 2024, Grass 2023) as a writing practice and possible genre reveal about the differences between human translation memory and machine translation memory? In this presentation and workshop, we will explore the concept of memory as it applies to both Large Language Models and human translators, using the translation memoir as a way of distinguishing what we call “memory” in both LLMs and human translation contexts. We will follow this presentation by a collective workshop where you will be asked to extract a memoir from ChatGPT's translation outputs through different lines of questioning, and then analyse and critically reflect on notions of authorship attached to it
The Undergraduate Experience: Is it Enhanced Through Employment as a Library Student Worker?
No full textStudent employment on campus can be one of the best predictors of academic success. There are many implied benefits for students working in the libraries, including greater understanding of library resources, as well as proximity to services and people with expertise.
This poster will present the findings of a study about undergraduate student workers employed at a major university Research Library. The authors surveyed approximately 350 student workers, and received 120 responses and 64 completed surveys. The survey gathered information about undergraduate student workers, including who they are and how they engage with university clubs, organizations, and partnering units, such as residence halls and tutoring centers.
The authors will investigate the library contribution to the undergraduate experience of student workers. They will investigate if there is a correlation between academic success (perceived or real) and working in an academic research library. Further the authors will address whether working in an academic research library helps students form community or provides them with valuable peer networking opportunities. This project’s raw data was evaluated using Qualtrics. The results of this survey will inform new programs and activities to enhance the experience of the undergraduate library student worker and provide additional mentorship and professional development.Peer reviewe

1938. In 1945, Lily and Julius Buchwald emigrated to the United States. She worked as an office manager, secretary, and bookkeeper in New York until 1975. Julius Buchwald was a
