Challenges And Opportunities

Immersive Scholar, a genre of digital scholarship that produces large scale visualizations, has emphasized physically immersive user experience. Examples of these projects can be found at https://osf.io/ygcn2/. This report strives to meet a need that will expand its scope and impact, and identify the realms in which Immersive Scholar belong that will allow it to bring immersive and scholarly depth. It is thus intended to provide awareness about challenges and opportunities to stakeholders interested in progressing new forms of digital scholarship (in particular, Immersive Scholar). North Carolina State University Libraries engaged Lynnee Argabright over summer 2020 to conduct a landscape analysis to help foresee industry collaboration prospects for Immersive Scholar. This report will also review the current landscape of similar presentations of immersive digital scholarship as well as explore quality evaluation for tenure and review to help define assessment expectations for Immersive Scholar projects.

The joys of the vice presidency are embellished by the thrills of conference planning. I worked with some of the most generous and assiduous members of our association, who made the experience truly memorable. My deepest appreciation is extended to Dale Cousins and Ann Burlingame of Wake County Public Libraries; Dave Fergusson, Mary McAfee, Yolanda Bolden, and John Via of Forsyth County Public Library; Irene Laube of Durham Technical Community College Library; John Abbott of Appalachian State University Libraries; Bao-Chu Chang of North Carolina State University Libraries; Connie Keller of Carol Grotnes Belk Library, Elon University; Ednita Bullock, formerly of Bennett College Center of Information Resources and currently of North Carolina A. & T.

The Impact

NC State University Libraries has been awarded a three-year, $414,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop extensible models and programs for the creation and sharing of digital scholarship in large-scale and immersive environments. Entitled “Visualizing Digital Scholarship in Libraries and Learning Spaces,” or Immersive Scholar for short, the grant aims to 1) build a community of practice of scholars and librarians to help visually immersive scholarly work enter the research lifecycle; and 2) overcome technical and resource barriers that limit the number of scholars and libraries who use visualization environments and the impact of generated knowledge. This presentation introduced the grant and it's components to The Higher Education Campus Alliance of Advanced Visualization (THE CAAV) at THE CAAV's 2017 annual conference.

Orientation Session

North Carolina State University Libraries has built a strong employee orientation program based on the belief that early socialization contributes to the success of new employees. Its orientation model includes a focused orientation session, a checklist, and individual meetings with key library faculty and staff. All aspects of the orientation focus heavily on socialization factors such as understanding the Libraries’ mission and values, meeting key people within the organization, and becoming acquainted with other new colleagues. This paper details the Libraries’ orientation approach and the research that supports it.

At the ISMTE 2019 North American Meeting, Rick Anderson, Associate Dean for Collections & Scholarly Communication at the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah and Micah Vandegrift, Open Knowledge Librarian at North Carolina State University Libraries, discussed their different opinions regarding some of the finer points of Plan S. They prepared responses for 10 questions for the meeting but were only able to respond to some of them in person. The following is the full Q&A that they prepared for the meeting, with references added.

Abstract Additional active ingredients are needed for use in aquatic systems in order to respond to new threats or treatment scenarios, enhance selectivity, reduce use rates, and to mitigate the risk of herbicide-resistance. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl is a new synthetic auxin developed for use as an aquatic herbicide. A study was conducted at North Carolina State University, in which 10 µg L−1 of 25% radiolabeled florpyrauxifen-benzyl was applied to the isolated shoot tissue of ten different aquatic plant species in order to elucidate absorption and translocation patterns in these species. Extremely high levels of shoot absorption were observed for all species and uptake was rapid. Highest shoot absorptions were observed for crested floatingheart [Nymphoides cristata (Roxb.) Kuntze] (A192 =20 µg g−1), dioecious hydrilla [Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle] (A192 =25.3 µg g−1), variable watermilfoil (Myriophyllum heterophylum Michx.) (A192 =40.1 µg g−1) and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) (A192 =25.3 µg g−1). Evidence of translocation was observed in all rooted species tested with the greatest translocation observed in N. cristata (1.28 µg g-1 at 192 HAT). The results of this study add to the growing body of knowledge surrounding the behavior of this newly registered herbicide within aquatic plants.

Nowhere in the world have tree improvement and silviculture had a bigger impact on forest productivity and value to landowners than in the southern US. The economic impact from almost 60 years of tree improvement in the southern United States has been staggering. For example, over 300,000 hectares are planted each year with seedlings from the breeding efforts with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) by members and staff of the North Carolina State University Cooperative Tree Improvement Program. The present value of continued genetic gains from traditional tree improvement efforts is estimated to be $2.5 billion USD to landowners and citizens in the southern US.
