description: Graphic medicine is frequently based upon autobiographical narratives that are ontologically unsound. Graphic medicine uses visual and verbal media (and their hybrid form) to present information but how ontologically sound are these media and their hybrids? Medical narrative relies upon chronological and temporal obedience which graphic narrative both simulates and deconstructs. Autobiographical narratives frequently rely upon authenticating paratexts which appear absent in graphic medicine texts.

description: In a classical description the spacetime curvature inside a black hole infinitely grows. In the domain where it reaches the Planckian value and exceeds it the Einstein equations should be modified. In the absence of reliable theory of quantum gravity it is instructive to consider simplified models. We assume that a spacetime curvature is limited by some value (of the order of the Planckian one). We use modified Vaidya metric, proposed by Hayward, to describe the black hole evaporation process. In such a spacetime the curvature near $r=0$ remains finite, it does not have an event horizon and its apparent horizon is closed. If the initial mass of such a `black hole' is much larger than the Planckian one its properties (as seen by an external observer) are practically the same as properties of the `standard' black hole with the event horizon. We study outgoing null rays in the vicinity of the outer apparent and introduce a notion of quasi-horizon. We demonstrate that particles, trapped inside a `black hole' during the evaporation process, finally may return to external space after the evaporation is completed. We also demonstrate that such quanta would have very large blue-shift. The absence of the event horizon makes it possible restoration of the unitarity in evaporating black holes.

description: We study fermion pairing and condensation towards an ordered state in strongly coupled quantum critical systems with a holographic AdS/CFT dual. On the gravity side this is modeled by a system of charged fermion interacting through a BCS coupling. At finite density such a system has a BCS instability. We combine the relativistic version of mean-field BCS with the semi-classical fluid approximation for the many-body state of fermions. The resulting groundstate is the AdS equivalent of a charged neutron star with a superconducting core. The spectral function of the fermions confirms that the ground state is ordered through the condensation of the pair operator. A natural variant of the BCS star is shown to exist where the gap field couples Stueckelberg-like to the AdS Maxwell field. This enhances the tendency of the system to superconduct.

description: For certain quantum operations acting on qubits, there exist bases of measurement operators such that estimating the average fidelity becomes efficient. The number of experiments required is then independent of system size and the classical computational resources scale only polynomially in the number of qubits. Here we address the question of how to optimally choose the measurement basis for efficient gate characterization when replacing two-level qubits by $d$-level qudits. We define optimality in terms of the maximal number of unitaries that can be efficiently characterized. Our definition allows us to construct the optimal measurement basis in terms of their spectra and eigenbases: The measurement operators are unitaries with $d$-nary spectrum and partition into $d+1$ Abelian groups whose eigenbases are mutually unbiased.

Structure determination of liquid carbon tetrabromide via a combination of x-ray and neutron diffraction data and reverse Monte Carlo modeling

description: In order to reveal the atomic level structure of liquid carbon tetrabromide, a new synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurement, over a wide momentum transfer (Q-)range, has been performed. These x-ray data have been interpreted together with a neutron diffraction dataset, measured earlier, using the reverse Monte Carlo method. The structure is analysed on the basis of partial radial distribution functions and distance dependent orientational correlation functions. Orientational correlations behave similarly to other carbon tetrahalides. Moreover, the information content of the new x-ray diffraction data set, and in particular, of the varying Q-range, is also discussed. Only very small differences have been found between results of calculations that apply one single experimental structure factor and the ones that use both x-ray and neutron diffraction data: the latter showed slightly more ordered carbon-carbon radial distribution function, which resulted in seemingly more ordered orientational correlations between pairs of molecules. Neither the extended Q-range, nor the application of local invariance constraints yielded significant new information. For providing a simple reference system, a hard sphere model has also been created that can describe most of the partial radial distribution functions and orientational correlations of the real system at a semi-quantitative level.

description: We investigate the charged-neutral pion self-energy difference at finite temperature. Within Chiral Perturbation Theory we extend previous analysis in the chiral and soft pion limits. Our analysis with physical masses leads to additional contributions for temperatures typical of a meson gas, including a momentum-dependent function for the self energy. In addition, a nonzero imaginary part arises, which we define consistently in the Coulomb gauge and comes from an infrared enhanced contribution due to thermal bath photons. For distributions typical of a heavy-ion meson gas, the charged and neutral pion masses and their difference depend on temperature through slowly increasing functions. Chiral symmetry restoration is ultimately responsible for keeping the corrections smooth and compatible with observed pion spectra. We study phenomenological effects related to the electromagnetic damping leading to corrections for transport coefficients and neutral-charged mean free times differences. An important aspect is the connection with chiral symmetry restoration through the relation of the pion mass difference with the vector-axial spectral function difference, which holds at $T=0$ due to a sum rule in the chiral and soft pion limits. We analyze the modifications of that sum rule including nonzero pion masses and temperature, up to order $T^2$ and $M_π^2$. Both effects produce terms making the pion mass difference grow against chiral-restoring decreasing contributions. Finally, we analyze the corrections to the previous ChPT and sum rule results within the resonance saturation framework at finite temperature, including explicitly $ρ$ and $a_1$ exchanges. Our results show that the ChPT result is robust at low and intermediate temperatures, the leading corrections being of order $T^2 M_π^2/M_R^2$ with $M_R$ the involved resonance masses.

description: We investigate the natural families of periodic orbits associated with the equilibrium configurations of the the planar restricted $1+n$ body problem for the case $2\leq n \leq 4$ equal mass satellites. Such periodic orbits can be used to model both trojan exoplanetary systems and parking orbits for captured asteroids within the solar system. For $n=2$ there are two families of periodic orbits associated with the equilibria of the system: the well known horseshoe and tadpole orbits. For $n=3$ there are three families that emanate from the equilibrium configurations of the satellites, while for $n=4$ there are six such families as well as numerous additional connecting families. The families of periodic orbits are all of the horseshoe or tadpole type, and several have regions of neutral linear stability.

description: Using the chirally invariant overlap Dirac operator we remove its lowest-lying quasizero modes from the valence quark propagators and study evolution of isovector mesons with J=1. At the truncation level about 50 MeV SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R and U(1)_A symmetries get restored. However, we observe a degeneracy not only within the chiral and U(1)_A multiplets, but also a degeneracy of all possible chiral multiplets, i.e., the observed quantum levels have a symmetry larger than U(2)_L \times U(2)_R and their energy does not depend on the spin orientation of quarks and their parities. We offer a possible interpretation of these energy levels as the quantum levels of the dynamical QCD string. The structure of the radial J=1 spectrum is compatible with E =(n_r +1)\hbarωwith \hbarω= 900 \pm 70 MeV.

description: Semiconductor heterostructures are the fundamental platform for many important device applications such as lasers, light-emitting diodes, solar cells and high-electron-mobility transistors. Analogous to traditional heterostructures, layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) heterostructures can be designed and built by assembling individual single-layers into functional multilayer structures, but in principle with atomically sharp interfaces, no interdiffusion of atoms, digitally controlled layered components and no lattice parameter constraints. Nonetheless, the optoelectronic behavior of this new type of van der Waals (vdW) semiconductor heterostructure is unknown at the single-layer limit. Specifically, it is experimentally unknown whether the optical transitions will be spatially direct or indirect in such hetero-bilayers. Here, we investigate artificial semiconductor heterostructures built from single layer WSe2 and MoS2 building blocks. We observe a large Stokes-like shift of ~100 meV between the photoluminescence peak and the lowest absorption peak that is consistent with a type II band alignment with spatially direct absorption but spatially indirect emission. Notably, the photoluminescence intensity of this spatially indirect transition is strong, suggesting strong interlayer coupling of charge carriers. The coupling at the hetero-interface can be readily tuned by inserting hexagonal BN (h-BN) dielectric layers into the vdW gap. The generic nature of this interlayer coupling consequently provides a new degree of freedom in band engineering and is expected to yield a new family of semiconductor heterostructures having tunable optoelectronic properties with customized composite layers.

We describe a class of models of quintessential inflation which can give rise to the tensor to scalar ratio of perturbations consistent with recent BICEP2 measurements. The scale of inflation in the model is around the GUT scale and there is large parameter space consistent with the recent findings.

description: It is well known that temperature variations and acoustic noise affect ultrastable frequency dissemination along optical fiber. Active stabilization techniques are in general adopted to compensate for the fiber-induced phase noise. However, despite this compensation, the ultimate link performances remain limited by the so called delay-unsuppressed fiber noise that is related to the propagation delay of the light in the fiber. In this paper, we demonstrate a data post-processing approach which enables us to overcome this limit. We implement a subtraction algorithm between the optical signal delivered at the remote link end and the round-trip signal. In this way, a 6 dB improvement beyond the fundamental limit imposed by delay-unsuppressed noise is obtained. This result enhances the resolution of possible comparisons between remote optical clocks by a factor of 2. We confirm the theoretical prediction with experimental data obtained on a 47 km metropolitan fiber link, and propose how to extend this method for frequency dissemination purposes as well.
Hawking Radiation of Grumiller Black Hole

description: In this paper, we consider the relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation and study the Hawking radiation (HR) of scalar particles from uncharged Grumiller black hole (GBH) which is affordable for testing in astrophysics. GBH is also known as Rindler modified Schwarzschild BH. Our aim is not only to investigate the effect of the Rindler parameter a on the Hawking temperature ($T_{H}$), but to examine whether there is any discrepancy between the computed horizon temperature and the standard $T_{H}$ as well. For this purpose, in addition to its naive coordinate system, we study on the three regular coordinate systems which are Painleve-Gullstrand (PG), ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein (IEF) and Kruskal-Szekeres (KS) coordinates. In all coordinate systems, we calculate the tunneling probabilities of incoming and outgoing scalar particles from the event horizon by using the HJ equation. It has been shown in detail that the considered HJ method is concluded with the conventional $T_{H}$ in all these coordinate systems without giving rise to the famous factor-2 problem. Furthermore, in the PG coordinates Parikh-Wilczek's tunneling (PWT) method is employed in order to show how one can integrate the quantum gravity (QG) corrections to the semiclassical tunneling rate by including the effects of self-gravitation and back reaction. We then show how these corrections yield a modification in the $T_{H}$.

description: Ce travail de mémoire cherche à lier apprentissages et créativité dans le cadre de sorties scolaires à proximité de l’établissement. Pour ce faire, nous avons construit une séquence pour une classe de 9ème année du collège des Dents-Du-Midi à Aigle. Le but affiché de cette séquence est la réalisation d’un panneau sur lequel les élèves présentent le réaménagement d’un quartier limitrophe au collège. La construction de cette séquence s’appuie sur des fondements théoriques issus de l’excursion créative et de la créativité. À cela, il faut ajouter les apprentissages (connaissances, savoir-être et savoir-faire) que nous souhaitons transmettre aux élèves. Une analyse de la pertinence de cette démarche permet d’ajuster les facteurs dont l’enseignant doit tenir compte pour réaliser une séquence dans laquelle le curseur entre créativité et apprentissages s’ajuste au mieux.

description: A l’adolescence, la motivation des élèves pour les apprentissages des savoirs scolaires a tendance à baisser. Cette baisse de motivation peut avoir différentes causes, mais elle peut être fortement influencée par le travail de l’enseignant. Dans ce travail, nous avons souhaité tester l’influence du sens des savoirs sur la motivation de nos élèves, et ainsi proposer une méthode innovante pour l’enseignement des sciences de la nature. Dans ce but, nous avons créé une Escape Classroom pour un sujet d’enseignement de sciences de la nature. Ce jeu nous a paru idéal pour une salle de classe car une période d’enseignement présente une contrainte temporelle (la durée d’une période) et une contrainte spatiale (la salle de classe). De plus, cette activité est particulière car elle permet d’immerger les élèves dans une situation fictive qui pourrait être concrète. Ainsi, nous pensons donner du sens aux savoirs étudiés, et améliorer leur motivation. Notre projet est mis en oeuvre en plusieurs étapes : tout d’abord, nous avons construit une Escape Classroom pour une séquence spécifique des sciences de la nature. Ensuite, nous avons enseigné le sujet à l’aide d’un enseignement classique puis effectué le jeu avec nos élèves. Durant toute la durée de notre projet, les élèves ont répondu à des questionnaires pour que nous puissions évaluer les différents indicateurs que nous avons choisi de relier à la motivation telle que nous l’avons définie. Cette étude laisse entrevoir des résultats prometteurs, surtout parce qu’ils ouvrent une porte sur de nouvelles recherches qui pourront être menées de manière plus spécifique sur cette dimension de la motivation. Nos observations montrent que le sentiment de compétence des élèves a été amélioré par cette approche innovante de l’enseignement des sciences de la nature.
Crowd-Powered Photo Enhancement Featuring an Active Learning Based Local Filter

description: In this study, we address local photo enhancement to improve the aesthetic quality of an input image by applying different effects to different regions. Existing photo enhancement methods are either not content-aware or not local; therefore, we propose a crowd-powered local enhancement method for content-aware local enhancement, which is achieved by asking crowd workers to locally optimize parameters for image editing functions. To make it easier to locally optimize the parameters, we propose an active learning based local filter. The parameters need to be determined at only a few key pixels selected by an active learning method, and the parameters at the other pixels are automatically predicted using a regression model. The parameters at the selected key pixels are independently optimized, breaking down the optimization problem into a sequence of single-slider adjustments. Our experiments show that the proposed filter outperforms existing filters, and our enhanced results are more visually pleasing than the results by the existing enhancement methods. Our source code and results are available at https://github.com/satoshi-kosugi/crowd-powered.

description: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has observed highly energetic neutrinos in excess of the expected atmospheric neutrino background. It is intriguing to consider the possibility that such events are probing physics beyond the standard model. In this context, $\mathcal{O}$(PeV) dark matter particles decaying to neutrinos have been considered while dark matter annihilation has been dismissed invoking the unitarity bound as a limiting factor. However, the latter claim was done ignoring the contribution from dark matter substructure, which for PeV Cold Dark Matter would extend down to a free streaming mass of $\mathcal{O}$($10^{-18}$M$_\odot$). Since the unitarity bound is less stringent at low velocities, ($σ_{\rm ann}$v)$\leq4π/m_χ^2v$, then, it is possible that these cold and dense subhalos would contribute dominantly to a dark-matter-induced neutrino flux and easily account for the events observed by IceCube. A Sommerfeld-enhanced dark matter model can naturally support such scenario. Interestingly, the spatial distribution of the events shows features that would be expected in a dark matter interpretation. Although not conclusive, 9 of the 37 events appear to be clustered around a region near the Galactic Center while 6 others spatially coincide, within the reported angular errors, with 5 of 26 Milky Way satellites. However, a simple estimate of the probability of the latter occurring by chance is $\sim35\%$. More events are needed to statistically test this hypothesis. PeV dark matter particles are massive enough that their abundance as standard thermal relics would overclose the Universe. This issue can be solved in alternative scenarios, for instance if the decay of new massive unstable particles generates significant entropy reheating the Universe to a slightly lower temperature than the freeze-out temperature, $T_{\rm RH} \lesssim T_{\rm f}\sim4\times10^4$~GeV.

description: We address personalized image enhancement in this study, where we enhance input images for each user based on the user's preferred images. Previous methods apply the same preferred style to all input images (i.e., only one style for each user); in contrast to these methods, we aim to achieve content-aware personalization by applying different styles to each image considering the contents. For content-aware personalization, we make two contributions. First, we propose a method named masked style modeling, which can predict a style for an input image considering the contents by using the framework of masked language modeling. Second, to allow this model to consider the contents of images, we propose a novel training scheme where we download images from Flickr and create pseudo input and retouched image pairs using a degrading model. We conduct quantitative evaluations and a user study, and our method trained using our training scheme successfully achieves content-aware personalization; moreover, our method outperforms other previous methods in this field.

description: Large language models have recently advanced the state of the art on many natural language processing benchmarks. The newest generation of models can be applied to a variety of tasks with little to no specialized training. This technology creates various opportunities for applications in the context of data management. The tutorial will introduce participants to basic background on language models, discuss different methods to use language models, and give an overview and short demonstration of available libraries and APIs. Models for generating natural language will be considered as well as models, such as GPT-3 Codex, which complete program code or generate code from natural language instructions. Finally, the tutorial will discuss recent research in the database community that exploits language models in the context of traditional database systems or proposes novel system architectures that are based on them. The tutorial is targeted at database researchers. No prior background on language models is required. The goal of the tutorial is to introduce database researchers to the latest generation of language models, and to their use cases in the domain of data management.

Here we demonstrate the monolithic integration of an on-demand quantum emitter in the form of a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot (QD) with a compact (>10 um), air clad, free standing directional coupler acting as a beam-splitter for anti-bunched light. The device was tested by using single photons emitted by a QD embedded in one of the input arms of the device. We verified the single-photon nature of the QD signal by performing Hanbury Brown- Twiss (HBT) measurements and demonstrated single-photon beam splitting by cross-correlating the signal from the separate output ports of the directional coupler.

description: Gait analysis is an important tool for the early detection of neurological diseases and for the assessment of risk of falling in elderly people. The availability of low-cost camera hardware on the market today and recent advances in Machine Learning enable a wide range of clinical and health-related applications, such as patient monitoring or exercise recognition at home. In this study, we evaluated the motion tracking performance of the latest generation of the Microsoft Kinect camera, Azure Kinect, compared to its predecessor Kinect v2 in terms of treadmill walking using a gold standard Vicon multi-camera motion capturing system and the 39 marker Plug-in Gait model. Five young and healthy subjects walked on a treadmill at three different velocities while data were recorded simultaneously with all three camera systems. An easy-to-administer camera calibration method developed here was used to spatially align the 3D skeleton data from both Kinect cameras and the Vicon system. With this calibration, the spatial agreement of joint positions between the two Kinect cameras and the reference system was evaluated. In addition, we compared the accuracy of certain spatio-temporal gait parameters, i.e., step length, step time, step width, and stride time calculated from the Kinect data, with the gold standard system. Our results showed that the improved hardware and the motion tracking algorithm of the Azure Kinect camera led to a significantly higher accuracy of the spatial gait parameters than the predecessor Kinect v2, while no significant differences were found between the temporal parameters. Furthermore, we explain in detail how this experimental setup could be used to continuously monitor the progress during gait rehabilitation in older people.

description: The present work deals with active power balancing in embedded multi-terminal dc systems. The derived controller and grid control concept is able to achieve a significant improvement in power transmission deviations and excitation of oscillatory modes in the case of a converter outage. Starting point for the design is the derivation of control requirements based on an analysis of state of the art converter control and dc grid control concepts in the context of active power balancing. The basic requirements are subsequently developed into design principles for a generalized controller and a derived tiered grid control concept. The controller is designed based on a continuous integration of constant voltage, voltage droop and constant power control. This is achieved by a construction of the control characteristic and the subsequent gain scheduling of the individual loops as well as the PI control gain. Finally, the grid concept is described and simulated on a number of benchmark cases in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller and grid concept. Results show, that the defined control objectives can be achieved, i.e. the controller implements the grid concept, the system is stable for all operating points and power transmission deviations and the excitation of oscillatory modes is kept at a minimum.

description: For years, libraries have been involved in the development and management of campus institutional repositories (IRs). The purpose of these IRs varies but it is often to provide a platform for collecting and making freely available the scholarly output of the university or college. Depending on the breadth of materials and campus constituencies represented in the IR, library staff often spend many hours managing this resource. Given the proliferation of online platforms for sharing scholarly works, is this time worth the effort, or can it be diverted into new and possibly more relevant projects? The Library system at the University of Vermont began supporting the University’s IR in 2007, and is currently licensing BePress from Elsevier as the platform. Library staff have recently begun to reevaluate the viability of continuing to support the IR in its current form. In order to determine the future of the library’s involvement in the IR, a working group of librarians has been systematically reexamining the purpose and mission of UVM’s IR, the platform on which to house it, the type of content to include, and the staffing model needed to sustain it. This group hopes to align the mission and management structure of institutional repository services with the library’s strategic plan and the university’s strategic vision. We will share the process by which we engaged in this work, and the changes we plan to recommend as a result.

description: We report the observation of a three-body recombination resonance in an ultracold gas of cesium atoms at a very large negative value of the $s$-wave scattering length. The resonance is identified as the second triatomic Efimov resonance, which corresponds to the situation where the first excited Efimov state appears at the threshold of three free atoms. This observation, together with a finite-temperature analysis and the known first resonance, allows the most accurate demonstration to date of the discrete scaling behavior at the heart of Efimov physics. For the system of three identical bosons, we obtain a scaling factor of $21.0(1.3)$, close to the ideal value of $22.7$.

description: We use the macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT) to evaluate the probability distribution P of extreme values of integrated current J at a specified time t=T in the symmetric simple exclusion process (SSEP) on an infinite line. As shown recently [Phys. Rev. E 89, 010101(R) (2014)], the SSEP belongs to the elliptic universality class. Here, for very large currents, the diffusion terms of the MFT equations can be neglected compared with the terms coming from the shot noise. Using the hodograph transformation and an additional change of variables, we reduce the "inviscid" MFT equations to Laplace's equation in an extended space. This opens the way to an exact solution. Here we solve the extreme-current problem for a flat deterministic initial density profile with an arbitrary density 0

description: In an attempt at explaining the observed neutrino mass-squared differences and leptonic mixing, lepton mass matrices with zero textures have been widely studied. In the weak basis where the charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal, various neutrino mass matrices with two zeros have been shown to be consistent with the current experimental data. Using the canonical and Smith normal form methods, we construct the minimal Abelian symmetry realizations of these phenomenological two-zero neutrino textures. The implementation of these symmetries in the context of the seesaw mechanism for Majorana neutrino masses is also discussed.

description: The nature of graduate student works has evolved in response to technological and academic changes. At the University of Florida, the Libraries work closely with the Graduate School to make terminal works available through the Institutional Repository (IR@UF). This presentation discusses the Libraries decision to establish Terminal Projects (TPs) as a category used to encompass traditional electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) and other terminal projects (OTPs) that are required to complete a graduate degree at UF. To open discussion, I will compare and contrast UF's Graduate School output with graduate TPs from other colleges, schools, and departments. I will cover some structural factors at UF that led to the need for a super-category, encompassing ETDs and other projects at UF required to complete a graduate degree. Records analysis will test the hypothesis that the ratio of OTPs to TPs is growing. I will cover the challenges of looking for stats on a subject not built into any of the available data sources: our main catalog, metadata from the IR@UF, email, production folders, and a Microsoft Access tracking database. The rest of the discussion covers the current effort to standardize and streamline intake and tracking of OTPs. The tracking database grew from work on an Excel template intended to gather tracking data from the degree granting units (DGUs). This work inspired a new goal: working with DGUs to identify keywords or notes that would support global searches for their students' works. Adding such consistent terms can enable us to import data into the bibliographic records created by our cataloging unit, and export the same information to include in the tracking sy]stem. Having data points like author names, titles, degrees, and DGUs in the tracking system will enable smoother, more personalized support for authors and DGU staff.
Curvaton in large field inflation

description: We comprehensively explore the quadratic curvaton models in the chaotic inflation. In the light of the BICEP2 result $r \approx 0.2$, all model parameters and relevant observables are computed. It is found the curvaton field value is constrained into a narrow range, $σ_* = \mathcal{O}(10^{-2}$-$10^{-1})$ and the running of the spectral index is $n_s' \gtrsim -10^{-3}$. We show that if the curvaton is added, the models are heavily degenerated on the $n_s$ - $r$ plane. However, introducing a new plane, the degeneracy can be resolved. To distinguish the curvaton models, precise measurements of not only $r$ but also $n_s'$ and the tensor tilt $n_T$ are required.

description: Seton Hall University Libraries created a scholarly metrics outreach initiative in Summer 2021. Repository metrics are collected from our Institutional Repository (IR) to build reports for faculty applying for Rank and Tenure. This data includes IR statistics: downloads by country, institution, sector, and referrers. The IR also shows metadata hits over time. The addition of PlumX metrics to our IR allows us to view additional usage data including WorldCat statistics, social media across platforms and news mentions. It is possible that faculty may not know about social media or news coverage about their scholarship. Additionally, Google Scholar, Scopus and other data will be pulled into the report based on the faculty member’s discipline. This presentation will discuss a new workflow we created to support this service including: faculty outreach, training for library staff, interpretation of data for the University Rank and Tenure, and working with campus stakeholders such as the Office of Grants & Research to promote scholarly output. Opportunities and lessons learned will be collected this fall to report at the conference. Opportunities include faculty outreach ahead of tenure application deadlines, promotion and education about the importance of pre-prints in an IR to gather scholarship metrics, understanding metadata, and expansion of IR content to include syllabi collections, research projects and e-journals. This service may grow with other types of report requests. Repository metrics can are useful for book proposals or departmental accreditation reports. Lessons learned will highlight feedback from faculty, across many disciplines, library staff and faculty, and rank and tenure committee members.
title: Developing a Comprehensive Faculty Bibliography to Facilitate Scholarly Communications Outreach

description: In 2016, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) began compiling a faculty bibliography in order to keep a comprehensive record of and showcase the institution’s research. Published in the institutional repository and positioned as a central project of the Scholarly Communication Initiatives (SCI) department, the bibliography serves as a marketing tool for the repository, open access, and research impact outreach, while also providing partnership opportunities across campus. Existing literature discussing faculty bibliographies frequently frames workflows around existing knowledge of programming to create these databases. Many scholarly communication departments don't have programming staff, or their access is limited to a campus and/or library IT department that cannot dedicate themselves to such a project. This was no different for UNLV, where the workflows for the bibliography were designed utilizing records obtained from faculty activity reporting software and research databases, often in spreadsheet format. The project was designed to establish the repository, and in turn the library, as the authoritative showcase for the research and creative efforts of UNLV faculty. During this session, we aim to discuss the lessons learned along the way, including missteps and obstacles, staffing changes required, improvements on the horizon, and ways we’ve needed to adapt workflows over the years. We will also discuss what resources we used (such as adapting examples from other institutions, OpenRefine, and campus stakeholders to obtain faculty annual self-reported scholarship data), and the methods we’ve used for assessing the success of the bibliography project (response rates and deposits, downloads from the institutional repository). Attendees will also be able to learn about how they could implement a similar project using their institutional repository and what they, and their institution, could gain by doing so.
