Book excerpt: "ARL has published a book and Web site profiling selected rare and special collections in major research libraries of North America, Celebrating Research: Rare and Special Collections from the Membership of the Association of Research Libraries. The compendium is a sampling of the abundance and variety of collections available for use. Special collections have been broadly construed to encompass distinctive, rare and unique, emerging media, born-digital, digitized, uncommon, non-standard, primary, and heritage materials. Celebrating Research includes 118 collection profiles, each from a different ARL member library. Each profile is illustrated with color photographs and tells a story of a single collection, recounting how the resources were acquired and developed. The compilation is rich with examples of how research libraries are engaging different communities to deliver library services and encourage the use of such distinctive collections. Also included is an introductory essay by British rare book expert Nicolas Barker and an appendix that provides a broad description of each library's special collection holdings and pertinent contact information. The book contains a detailed index; the Web site provides a search engine. The volume is the result of a collaborative effort among ARL member libraries on the occasion of the Association's 75th anniversary. It was edited by Philip N. Cronenwett, Special Collections Librarian Emeritus, Dartmouth College Library; Kevin Osborn, Research & Design Ltd.; and Samuel A. Streit, Director for Special Collections, Brown University Library."--Publisher's website.

This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many great scientists are driven by the desire to understand and improve human health. This is a common desire—we all wish to experience good health throughout our lives, and to receive effective medical treatment if we get injured or sick. Scientists that study health-related questions are leading this journey towards improved human wellbeing. Their jobs are incredibly challenging, because the human body is extremely complex. Countless bodily processes are constantly occurring, all at the same time. Understanding even one process takes great effort, but it is an even bigger challenge to understand the relationships between processes and how these interrelated processes affect human health. Nonetheless, great advances are happening in human health research every year. Through step-by-step research, our understanding of the human body deepens, so that we can eventually manage health-related problems that were previously out of our reach—improving human health with each breakthrough. The Gairdner Foundation was established in 1957, with the goal of recognizing and rewarding international excellence in basic research that impacts human health. Every year, the Gairdner Foundation celebrates the world’s best biomedical and global health researchers by giving eight awards to top scientists. Between 1957–2023, 418 awards were given to scientists from over 40 countries. 98 Gairdner Laureates have subsequently won prestigious Nobel Prizes in their fields of research. The Gairdner Foundation believes in coming together to openly discuss science. Open discussions can better engage the public, give us a deeper understanding of the problems we face, and motivate us to work together to find solutions. The Foundation also works hard to inspire the next generation of scientific innovators and to foster a society that is well informed about science. In this collection, you will read about some of the great discoveries made by winners of the Canada Gairdner Awards—scientific contributions that have significantly impacted human health. These discoveries span diverse areas of science, including biology, chemistry, biomedicine, neuroscience, engineering, and technology. The articles in this collection will dive into fascinating scientific questions, such as: • Do human cells talk with bacteria? • Can we develop new kinds of antibiotics? • Is there a better way to treat brain tumors? • Can we use artificial intelligence to speed up medical research? As you read, you will learn about the newest research addressing these intriguing questions. To continually improve our answers and our understanding of human health, scientists must keep working to deepen their knowledge of these and other scientific mysteries. Hopefully, curious minds like yours will join the efforts and contribute to the meaningful journey toward optimal human wellbeing!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating Intellectual Curiosity: Kindergarten Through College Scholarship and Research broadens the perspective on academic pursuits. Curiosity needs to be cultivated at all school levels. All formats of scholarship and research contribute to increased human understanding. The criteria for evaluating different scholarly activity needs to be well matched with the respective format. Both Scientific and Artistic standards need to be considered for a deeper appreciation of intents and results. Grade school children would be well served by being schooled in the four traditional areas of university faculty evaluation: teaching-learning; scholarship; service; and colleagueship. The book uses vignettes and stories to establish the complexities and utility of varying forms of research. Criteria are identified that fit the respective approaches. The study looks at The Scholarship of Teaching; The Scholarship of Teaching as Action Research: Creative Artistry; Arts Based Research; The Scholarship of Service; Curriculum Development; The Scholarship of the Student. The complementary nature of the variety of scholarships reveals an underlying Ecology of Education that relies upon a great diversity in roles to maintain a healthy system.

By focusing on a variety of public celebrations and festivities from the Revolution to the early twentieth century, the formative period of American national identity, the authors reveal the complex interrelationships between collective identities on the local, regional, and national level which, over time, shaped the peculiar character of American nationalism. This volume combines vivid descriptions of various public celebrations with a sophisticated methodological and theoretical approach.
