Where in the world......is Mt. Pleasant?

From my colleague Lynn Ellsworth, a very well done e-hunt!

Paula,

I thought you might be interested in this . . . .

My husband Tom’s 4th grade class participated in a “mystery class”, trying to figure out from clues about sunrise/sunset, latitude/longitude, continent, country, and state the location of ten sites around the world. The clues are spread over several months. Last year, his class participated, and this year, Tom applied for Mt. Pleasant to be one of the sites. We were selected! The process is complete now, and if you want to check out what they put on the web site about Mt. Pleasant, follow these instructions:
1. Google “journey to the north.”
2. Click on “Journey to the north: A global study of wildlife migration: Monarch Butterfly”
3. Click on the picture of the globe identified as “Sunlight and Mystery Class”
4. Click under the globe where it says “Meet the Class of 2009”
5. Click on: Turn Globe at the top of the screen to find the U.S. on the globe and mystery site #10—Mt. Pleasant
6. Click on “Mt. Pleasant.
7. You can read the entry and play the video. The kids narrate the video about Iowa Wesleyan history.

Swine Flu Data

The past week I've been enmeshed in writing the disaster policy manual for Chadwick Library. It has been a very time consuming process, but that's a post for another day. But, the importance of doing this has been underscored by the latest world event, that of the swine flu that has recently grabbed the attention of the world headlines.

While participating in the listserv for the disaster preparedness forum, there has been much discussion pertaining to the rapid response and appropriate forms of communicating about swine flu.

I came across this very interesting map that shows where outbreaks of diseases exist. Its creators are affliated with Harvard, but uses sources from various national (CDC) and world (WHO)agencies. It also adds in other data sources such as Google News, and ProMed to add to the comprehensive view of the current state of global infectious diseases.

HealthMap provides a jumping-off point for real-time information on emerging infectious diseases and has particular interest for public health officials and international travelers.

Take a look:

Also interesting is the "Twitter" posts. Check them out at the top of the page.

Goodbye Printed Word?

If you've noticed lately, many popular magazines are getting thinner and thinner. And no, it isn't because this is a slow news time of year. The Washington Post recently announced that Feb. 15th would be the last print version of "Book World", its Sunday stand-alone book review section. After Feb 15th, book reviews will be found in space inside two other sections of the paper.

Book World was one of the last remaining stand-alone book review sections in the country, along with The New York Times Book Review. The Post’s move comes as the company, like most other newspaper businesses across the country, has been hobbled by a protracted downturn in advertising.

On the heels of that announcement came the announcement from U.S. News & World Report that it would go to a monthly publication with a theme to each issue. Over the past year, the library staff has watched it go from a weekly to bi-monthly to monthly publication. U.S. News cites growth in it's companion digital site as justification for downsizing the rate of publication for the print version.

In March, U.S. News will have a weekly electronic publication available at no extra charge to it's subscribers. Additionally, it is doubling the length of time left on subscriptions.

Here in the library we will establish a link to this online print version. Stay tuned for details about accessing the publication in this manner. Given the nature of our economy and the increased online use of computers by consumers, my guess is that we are likely to see similar responses by other publishers.

Changes in the Basement

Over the winter break, Nadine and I worked on a major project in the basement to shift the curriculum library and reset the children's literature area in order to integrate the adolescent literature section.

The curriculum library is now located at the beginning the periodical section. It has had the shelves cleaned and disinfected and can now grow in the ample space it has been allocated. The shelving has also been adjusted to a more uniform configuration.

The collections comprising childrens literature and adolescent literature are in the process of being integrated/relabeled and a "new" collection title of YOUTH LITERATURE has been assigned. This new collection is moving into the space once shared by the childrens literature and will also have ample room to expand.

As one of the last phases of this project, labels will be placed on the shelving to assist students and faculty in finding materials.

See what can be done with statistics

The other night when I was working my night shift, Paula Sanders showed me this really cool site that makes use of statistics, computing and art.

http://flowingdata.com/

Some representations of statistical data have animations. We were especially awed by the Walmart stores growth and the immigration to the United States over the past hundred years.

We marvelled at the interdisciplinary approach to data--using creativity and intelligence to represent the same statistic.
