Abstract Bioelectronic interfaces have been extensively investigated in recent years and advances technology derived from these tools, such as soft ultrathin sensors, now offer the opportunity to interface with parts of body that were largely unexplored due lack suitable tools. The musculoskeletal system is an understudied area where new technologies can result advanced capabilities. Bones a sensor stimulation location tremendous advantages for chronic biointerfaces because devices be...
Digital medicine, the ability to stream continuous information from body gain insight into health status, manage disease, and predict onset problems, is only gradually developing. Key technological hurdles that slow proliferation of this approach are means by which clinical grade biosignals continuously obtained without frequent user interaction. To overcome these hurdles, solutions in power supply interface strategies maintain high-fidelity readouts chronically critical. This work...
The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a ten-point assessment tool developed as reliable low-cost subjective usability scale that can be applied to systems in any number of contexts. Research has demonstrated higher ratings from users who claim greater experience with an interface than those rate themselves having less experience. This paper describes research extend this work by experimentally controlling the levels over course study, rather relying on users’ self-report. Two studies were...
This case study reports on the process for creating a self-paced non-credit information literacy (IL) course delivered via university's management system. The four online modules are designed to contextualize competencies within curriculum taught in First Year Seminar (FYS) courses. meta-course approach changes model of delivery instruction IL from traditional face-to-face “one-shot” session hybrid model, with responsibility content shifting librarian instructor FYS course.
While scholarship has addressed issues around serving international students in U.S. libraries, until recently, relatively little attention been directly focused upon the library needs of specific ethnic groups. This study surveys 83 Chinese and scholars after they returned from studying at universities United States to measure document their satisfaction with academic services resources used during abroad. Results survey are analyzed goal benchmarking improving for this growing user...
This case study gives the results a usability for discovery tool Encore Synergy, an Innovative Interfaces product, launched at Appalachian State University Belk Library & Information Commons in January 2013. Nine of thirteen participants rated as more user friendly, according to SUS (Standard Usability Scale) score, than library’s tabbed search layout, which separated articles and catalog search. All study’s were favor switching interface new “one box” Several glitches implementation...
In 2008, Fudan University Library (FDUL) in Shanghai and Belk Information Commons at Appalachian State (ASU) Boone, North Carolina created a three-year librarian exchange program. The first pair of exchanges occurred during the 2009–2010 academic year, with traveling to for five weeks Fall 2009, from months spring summer 2010. This paper documents how revealed interesting similarities differences library service models between two universities which are illustrative general Chinese American...

A central issue in urban political analysis is the way which city-governing institutions prioritize and react to changing demands for policies services. In this article, we examine these dynamics American city governments through lens of two policy process frameworks: incrementalism punctuated equilibrium. Using panel data from all 278 Michigan cities 2005 2011, empirical mostly finds evidence processes, though degree punctuatedness varies systematically across by issues domain. Considerable...

This article will be of interest to librarians, particularly those in consortia that are evaluating OpenURL link resolvers. case study contrasts WebBridge (an Innovative Interface product) and LinkSource (EBSCO's product). assisted us the decision-making process choosing an resolver was sustainable maintain and, most importantly, made it easier for users access full text article. does not propose one product is superior another; however, criteria methods used evaluate products use seeking...
In spring semester 2009, two of the authors taught LIB 5020—Information Sources & Services to graduate library science students at Appalachian State University. The course covers information seeking patterns and provides an overview reference services. is also designed examine evaluate materials other sources (print, audiovisual electronic) used in support informational recreational needs youth adults. This paper discusses one class assignment, which were paired together role play...
