AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by AABP Vice President Dr. Dave Sjeklocha to discuss the preconference seminars at the upcoming AABP Annual Conference Sept. 21-23 in Milwaukee, Wis. Preconference seminars are offered Sunday through Wednesday of the conference and provide an opportunity for members to take advanced continuing education courses that are led by a team of faculty experts. Attendance for seminars is limited, which allows for great discussion and networking opportunities. These courses teach skills and techniques that can be immediately implemented in your beef or dairy practice to provide services to your clients. We will also have a seminar during the conference on Friday to train veterinarians in the Calf Care and Quality Assurance Program (CCQA) and a student lameness seminar. Seminars are submitted for 8 hours of continuing education per day and members can add them to a conference registration or they can register for a seminar-only registration for a lower fee if they are not attending the conference. We encourage members to sign up for seminars early due to the limited attendance as well as ensuring that seminar attendance is high enough to prevent cancellation. Seminars with an inadequate number of participants are subject to cancellation by August 10. To view a detailed description of all seminars, visit this link and click on the title of each seminar. To register for the conference and add a seminar to your registration, visit the registration page. For questions about seminars, feel free to contact fred@aabp.org for assistance.

Failed Transfer of Passive Immunity is a Component Cause of Pre-Weaning Disease in Beef and Dairy Calves: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Alexis Thompson, the lead author on the paper published in The Bovine Practitioner Vol. 56 No. 2 titled “Failed transfer of passive immunity is a component cause of pre-weaning disease in beef and dairy calves: A systematic review and meta-analysis”. The objective of the paper was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of literature regarding failed transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) and evaluate the strength of association between FTPI and disease in pre-weaned calves. Both dairy, beef and mixed breed cattle papers were included in the study to answer the question “how strongly is FTPI diagnosis associated with the risk of disease in pre-weaned calves”. Thompson walks listeners through the detailed materials and methods section of the paper to describe how the literature search was performed, inclusion and exclusion criteria for the papers evaluated, data extracted from each paper, and setting cut-points for morbidity and mortality. A total of 22 papers were included in the final data set. Thompson also defines the terms used in the paper including risk ratio, attributable fraction, preventable fraction and population attributable fraction. The outcomes evaluated included morbidity, mortality, diarrhea and pneumonia. The results of this meta-analysis indicated that FTPI is a component cause of pre-weaning disease in calves and there was variability between the strength of the association between the papers included in the study. There are many contributing causes of pre-weaning calf disease and the impact of FTPI on a calf or herd's risk of developing disease depends on the presence of other component causes of disease. This is an important consideration when veterinarians are evaluating disease outbreaks in herds to ensure a holistic systems approach to identify all component causes of the outbreak.Registration for the 56th AABP Annual Conference is now open. Gingrich mentions some of the opportunities at the conference to evaluate herd outbreaks and using data to solve problems in cattle practice.

Brian has a distinguished record of service to the profession and has noteworthy accomplishments in research and scholarship. ---------------------------------------------------   In this week's "If Rumors Were Horses" segment by Katina Strauch: The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), the Association of Research Libraries, and EDUCAUSE are pleased to announce that Herbert Van de Sompel, research scientist at the Research Library of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, has been named the 2017 recipient of the Paul Evan Peters Award. Named for CNI’s founding director, the award will be presented during the CNI membership meeting in Washington, DC, to be held December 11–12, 2017, where Van de Sompel will deliver the Paul Evan Peters Memorial Lecture. The talk will be recorded and made available on CNI’s youTube and Vimeo channels after the meeting concludes. The award recognizes notable, lasting achievements in the creation and innovative use of network-based information resources and services that advance scholarship and intellectual productivity. Nominated by over a dozen highly respected members of the information science community, Van de Sompel is widely recognized as having created robust, scalable infrastructures that have had a profound and lasting impact on scholarly communication. Adept at applying theory to practice, nominating colleagues noted that the application of some of his groundbreaking work has become an integral part of the core technology infrastructure for thousands of libraries worldwide, helping to connect information across the Internet, and constantly working to further his dream of “a scholarly communication system that fully embraces the Web.” An accomplished researcher and information scientist, Van de Sompel is perhaps best known for his role in the development of protocols designed to expose data and make them accessible to other systems, forging links that connect related information, thereby enhancing, facilitating, and deepening the research process. These initiatives include the OpenURL framework (stemming from his earlier work on the SFX link resolver), as well as the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), which included the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) and the Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) scheme. Van de Sompel was hired by his alma mater, Ghent University (Belgium), in 1981 to begin library automation. Over time, the focus shifted to providing access to a wide variety of scholarly information sources leveraging the technologies of the day to reach the largest possible end-user base, and by the late 1990s, the work of his team was considered among the best in Europe. In 2000 he received a PhD from Ghent University, working on context-sensitive linking, which led to the OpenURL standard and library linking servers. Following stints at Cornell University and at the British Library, in 2002 he joined the Los Alamos National Laboratory as an information scientist, where he now leads the Prototyping Team at the Research Library. Widely sought after for advisory boards and panels, Van de Sompel served as a member of the European Union High Level Expert Group on Scientific Data, as well as the Core Experts Group for the Europeana Thematic Network, charged with building a digital repository of European cultural assets. www.cni.org/go/pep-award/ I was sad to learn from Buzzy Basch and Mark Kendall  that John R. Secor, formerly of Saugus, MA, Contoocook, NH and Westford, MA, passed away in Exeter, NH on July 24th after a long and brave battle with Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease. John was born in Everett, MA on April 22, 1939 and graduated from Saugus High School in 1957. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Sally. He is survived by children Glen and Rosheen Secor of Westford, MA, Heidi Coen of Concord, NH, and Traci and Martin Britten of South China, ME, as well as nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He also leaves his sister Cathy Neri and her husband Phil of Dover, NH, and his brother Richard Secor and his wife Melissa of Punta Gorda, FL.  From Mark:  John was a dynamic personality and a successful entrepreneur. In 1971, he acted upon his great love of books and libraries, forming Yankee Book Peddler, Inc., in Contoocook, NH. From its beginnings in the basement of his home, he grew YBP into a leading national and international bookselling company. Those of us who had the privilege to know and work with John and witness his unwavering commitment, dating back to 1971, to building a world class organization for its employees, our community and customers (who he often simply referred to as “partners”) know well that his legacy continues  to live on in our business.  John’s willingness and desire to serve as a mentor and friend as well as building a lasting and meaningful organization that supports learning and education is one that I, and so many of us, will be forever grateful for. Let’s join together in honoring John and his memory by continuing the special work that he so successfully began nearly 50 years ago.  He will be missed by the library and publishing communities and by his friends and colleagues at YBP. He will also be missed by the wonderful staff of Riverwoods in Exeter. John was exceptionally loving and generous to his children and grandchildren, who will forever cherish him as their Binty. He was also a dog and cat lover and was rarely without his canine and feline companions. Katina remembers meeting John at the very first ALA that I attended in New York City in June 1980. I had just started my job as an acquisitions librarian at the College of Charleston Library. John was a dynamic and passionate visionary speaker and he keynoted many early Charleston Conferences. Wonderful memories and YBP (GOBI) lives on!   Have you heard of William (Bill) Ferris? I opened my copy of the Carolina Alumni Review, (July/August 2017) and was riveted by a fascinating article by Barry Yeoman, “Timelessness on His Hands.” It’s about how Bill Ferris, methodically built a priceless archive of Southern folklore. It began in 1968 when Ferris, a long-haired 26-year-old Mississippian who was working on a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, drove his white Chevy Nova up to a sharecropper’s shack to hear and record James “Black Boy” Hughes play blues guitar. That could have been all, but Ferris and Hughes became friends and Ferris made pictures and reel-to-reel tapes of Southern Black artists and communities. Half a century later, the tapes and pictures would become a 173,000-item archive with Bill Ferris’name in the UNC Southern Folklife Collection. Ferris was always fascinated with “vernacular culture” and he began to take pictures when he was given a ground-breaking for the time Kodak Brownie camera on his twelfth birthday. It was the 1960s and Ferris was a civil rights activist. When he was an undergraduate at Davidson, he helped organize protest marches. Various friends and academic advisors encouraged Ferris to pursue folklore and over the years he talked with Southern writers like Eudora Welty and Alice Walker. Ferris invited B.B. King to play for his Yale class. In 1996 an aide to President Bill Clinton called Ferris to see if he was interested in chairing the National Endowment for the Humanities. Federal arts and humanities funding were under siege in the 90s but Ferris’ expansive view of culture served him well for the 4 years he was in Washington. To quote Ferris: “Our politics, a century from now, will be forgotten. But the great contributions of our artists and writers and filmmakers as the beacons of who we are and who we were.”  Ferris is now at UNC’s Center for the Study of the American South(CSAS) and is focusing on new teaching technologies, working to produce online courses on Southern stories, art, and music. Ferris has worked with the Morehead Planetarium on a production of the American South with Morgan Freeman. He has also  written three books published by the University of North Carolina Press. This is quite an article and I have barely skimmed the surface. Read it! I promise you will enjoy it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_the_Study_of_the_American_South#History http://barryyeoman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/billferris.pdf

Preconference Preview Part 3: Combating "Fake News" This week, we have another in our series of Charleston Conference preconference previews! We have an amazing group of preconference sessions that will be held on Monday and Tuesday, November 6 and 7, prior to the start of the main conference. This is the third installment in our series of preconference previews, and we’ll continue that in the future with more episodes that interview the presenters and give a little bit more background and detail on the sessions themselves. You can find registration for these sessions on the main conference registration page, and session details are available on the conference website. As a reminder, there are several applications that are open for opportunities at the conference we’d like to draw your attention to. First, the Charleston Fast Pitch Competition is looking for proposals that pitch a winning idea to improve service at an academic or research library. This contest is designed to recognize and reward new innovation in academic library and information management. The Juried Product Development Forums, or JPDF’s, are designed to offer publishers and vendors a chance to discuss new products in development, or improvements to existing products, and receive feedback from librarians and library workers. The Charleston Premiers are lightning round sessions designed to showcase new products and innovations already in the marketplace but that may not be widely known yet. Details on all of these events are available on the conference website at the links provided in the show notes. Registration for the conference is open now. Be sure to register by September 15 to receive the early bird rate – our regular and late rates have increased this year but the early bird rate stayed the same as the past few years.

The session will be moderated by Judy Luther, President of Informed Strategies. Professionally she’s passionate about good design of content that meets the needs of the users. Personally Judy loves being outdoors in nature and enjoy quiet moments with a good cup of tea. Pierre Montagano is the Business Development Director for Code Ocean, a Cornell Tech incubated startup. He has over 20 years’ experience in publishing but recently left to work with researchers in developing an executable code repository that helps facilities reproducibility and reuse of scientific code. Heather Staines is Director of Partnerships for Hypothesis, a non-profit open source annotation/collaboration technology, working with publishers, educators, journalists, and researchers to bring annotation to conversations anywhere on the web. She has a background in scholarly publishing and educational technology. Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe is a Professor and Coordinator for Information Literacy and affiliate faculty in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois. A passionate educator, she speaks and writes frequently about library services and impact on library users. Since Judy is moderating the session, she also moderates the podcast interview.   Before we get to the interview, Katina Strauch has some updates to her “If Rumors Were Horses”  The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has selected the awesome Elaine L. Westbrooks, associate university librarian for research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, as its new University librarian and vice provost for University Libraries. Approved by the University’s Board of Trustees, the appointment is effective Aug. 15. “Chancellor Carol Folt and I are excited to welcome Elaine to Carolina,” said Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost James W. Dean Jr. “She brings more than 19 years of higher education library experience to her role, where she will oversee one of the top-ranked university library systems in the country, including its services and more than 9 million volumes across 10 libraries.” At the University of Michigan, Westbrooks led the library’s support of the research enterprise, facilitated the management of the operations and budget. Prior to her time in Ann Arbor, Westbrooks worked at research libraries at three other universities. She served as associate dean of libraries at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, held several positions in technical services at Cornell University Libraries and worked as a digital research and Latin American Cataloger at the University of Pittsburgh. The co-author of three books, along with several book chapters, Westbrooks lectures at numerous conferences. She also serves on the Association for Research Libraries Visioning Taskforce, was recently the chair of the HathiTrust Rights and Access Committee and also served on the HathiTrust Program Steering Committee. Westbrooks earned a bachelor of arts degree in linguistics and a master’s degree in information and library science from the University of Pittsburgh. She succeeds Sarah Michalak, who retired in December 2016. Carol Hunter, deputy University librarian and associate University librarian for collections and services, has served as interim University librarian since Michalak’s departure. She will retire from Carolina on Oct. 1. It’s been too long since we saw Bill Kane in Charleston! Bill is at Wake Forest University in the Digital Publishing Department. What a dynamo! Anyway, just got an email from Bill who has also worked at Blackwell’s and Alibris, remember? Bill was writing Beth Bernhardt, Rosann Bazirjian and yours truly to tell us that the long-retired Jack Walsdorf left us on July 9, 2017. You might remember that Jack sponsored the Rachel K. Schenck Memorial Scholarship  for the Charleston  Conference for five years (2003-2007). Jack was so generous and he knew everyone back in the day. Jack used to select a book a year to distribute at Christmas from Blackwell’s.  He also ran several evening talks on rare books way back when the Charleston Conference was in its infancy. Back then we were holding the Conference in the College of Charleston Lightsey Conference Center which has since closed and become classrooms. A Memorial Service to honor Jack is being planned to take place in the month of September. In lieu of flowers, please consider a charitable donation in Jack's memory to one of the following organizations that he himself supported:  The Lake Oswego Preservation Society: http://lakeoswegopreservationsociety.org The William Morris Society in the United States: http://www.morrissociety.org or a library of one's choice. http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4501&context=atg http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Jack-Walsdorf&lc=7398&pid=186070273&mid=7481936 Bill also sends a link to a wonderful interview with Jack from a few years ago. http://themorrisian.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-morrisian-interview-series-2-john-j.html The incredibly resilient Chuck Hamaker sent me a link to a recent article in the Guardian – Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?. It’s long but is a summary of much of what we in libraries have lived through over the past several decades – the growth of powerful publishing companies, rising journal costs, shrinking budget, the big deal. There are many familiar people and companies we know. Richard Charkin, Albert Henderson, Pergamon, Springer, Elsevier, John Coales, Denis Noble, Bob Houbeck, and last but not least Robert Maxwell. I remember visiting Pergamon in England hoping to get an interview, if not a glimpse of the famous man. Della Sar, Brian Cox, Inge Valentine, Bob Miranda have many reminiscences (favorable and unfavorable). I also remember -- it was during the Charleston Conference in November 5, 1991 that we learned that Maxweil had died when he fell off his yacht in the Canary Islands, leading to much speculation and autopsies. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/jun/27/profitable-business-scientific-publishing-bad-for-science http://www.charlestonlibraryconference.com/archives-old.php So long for now!

Welcome to episode 29 of ATG: The Podcast. This week, we’re continuing our previews of upcoming preconferences at the 2017 Charleston Conference. We have a great set of sessions on a wide range of topics that are designed for several different segments of the Charleston audience. Registration for all preconference sessions is included on the main conference registration page at the link in the show notes. Session details, including descriptions, speaker lists, and bios are available on the conference schedule, also linked in the show notes. LINKS: Preconference schedule with session details   Registration for the Charleston Conference, including preconferences: Product Development Forums: Charleston Premiers:  Charleston Fast Pitch Competition:  The applications for Juried Product Development Forums and the Charleston Premiers are now open on the conference website. These are both opportunities for publishers and vendors to connect with the Charleston community. The Juried Product Development Forums are designed to allow publishers and vendors to get feedback from librarian about new products in development, or improvements to existing products. The Premiers are designed to showcase new products and innovations already in the marketplace but that may not be widely known yet. The call for proposals is also open for the Charleston Fast Pitch Competition. This contest is designed to recognize and reward new innovation in academic library and information management. We’re looking for proposals that pitch a winning idea to improve service at an academic or research library. The proposal should describe a project or venture that is innovative, useful and better or different than what has been done in the past or done currently. The Goodall Family Charitable Foundation will sponsor two $2,500 awards for the finalists. Last year's winners were Syracuse University for their Blackstone LaunchPad for student entrepreneurship, and St. John Fisher College, for their Coordinated Collection Development API Project. A write up of the session is available on the conference blog, and an ATG Special Report on all the winners, runners up, and honorable mentions is available on the Against the Grain website. A big welcome first to Jackie Ricords and John Lavender, two of the session organizers and presenters for “Publishers are Not the Enemy: A practical workshop showing how publishers and libraries are cooperating with eBooks for the benefit of both.” This preconference is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. Lavender-Consulting is run by John Lavender, a publisher with almost 40 years' experience in academic and scientific publishing. John has worked with books, databases and journals, and in editorial, sales, marketing, electronic content and delivery, business development and in negotiating. John is also a Senior Associate with Maverick Publishing Specialists who provide strategic consulting and operational outsource services for the publishing industry. Jackie Ricords leads IGI Global’s e-resources and consortia outreach efforts. Prior to joining the STM publisher, she worked in higher education for more than a decade teaching and directing professional development programs for educators. Jackie has expertise in digital resources, with special interest in e-publishing and online learning. In collaboration with industry leaders, she facilitated the development of a series of information and digital literacy products and award-winning learning experiences for the academic and school markets. Next up, we talk with Jeff Bailey, Linda Creibaum, and Star Holloway about their session titled “Developing a Weighted Collection Development Allocation Formula.” This preconference will be held on Tuesday, November 7, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. A native of Dayton, Ohio, Jeff Bailey was appointed Director of the Dean B. Ellis Library of Arkansas State University in 2012 after leading the library for three years in an interim capacity. In his academic library career, Jeff has held positions in both public and technical services, including several years leading collection development at Arkansas State. Jeff received his MSLS from Clarion University of Pennsylvania when online searching was essentially just Dialog and BRS. He has presented at Charleston Conference since 2008. Linda Creibaum is Acquisitions and Serials Librarian at Arkansas State University, where for the last 15 years she has been fascinated at the change in library resource formats and the nature of the “problems” she solves in her work day. Linda has worked in a variety of library positions, including Solo Librarian and Instructional Services Librarian. Star Holloway is the Serials Access Librarian at the Dean B. Ellis Library. She also does collection development for the Media and Theatre departments and spends some time at the information desk. She received her M.S. in Information Science from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and her Bachelor’s Degree in Finance with an emphasis in banking at Arkansas State University. And, saving the best for last, we have Buzzy Basch to tell us about the preconference sessions that he’s organizing. Buzzy Basch heads Basch Associates. He previously had a career as President of Basch Subscriptions, and Turner Subscriptions, and Vice President of EBSCO and F W Faxon. Buzzy is an active member of ALA, SLA, NASIG, and MLA. He has been an association treasurer, award recipient, and member of publishing and finance committees. Buzzy has been attending and presenting at Charleston for years. He's an institution! This year, he is putting together a whopping three preconferences, all on important topics. The first one we talk about is Understanding the Library Market, which will held on Monday, November 6, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. It’ll also be co-presented by Michael Gruenberg, with Gruenberg Consulting, and Erin Gallagher, from Reed College. The second preconference on the schedule is Electronic Resources Management, on Tuesday, November 7, from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. They've got an impressive roster of co-presenters here! They have a knack for putting together a great team to talk about the different aspects of the issue, and present their experiences. And the third and final preconference is Negotiating with Vendors, on Tuesday, November 7, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. This was one of the largest preconferences last year – we ended up having to move them to a different room at the last minute because there were so many people! Just shows what an important topic this is – everyone has to negotiate at some point! ————————————————————— Katina Strauch has some additions to her “If Rumors Were Horses” column from Against the Grain. Just over the July 4 holiday. Great food and fun and no rain which made it even better! Even had a great golf cart parade! Got a message the other day from one of my favorite people, the amazing Scott Plutchak! Scott says that he is retiring from UAB, but not from the rest of his life. He and Lynn moved into Lynn's dream house 17 years ago; it's stuffed with artwork and books, perched up above a pretty little lake with swans and great blue herons. Scott is still on the editorial boards of several journals. He will be able to spend more time on the Open Scholarship Initiative (OSI), a global collaborative effort between all major stakeholders in scholarly publishing to improve the future of how research information gets published, shared and accessed. There's also the steering committee for Metadata 2020, a group effort to advocate for richer shared metadata. Scott says he will keep pushing for open data and a more open, affordable and transparent scholarly communication ecosystem. He’s not going to go looking for consulting gigs, but if some interesting projects came up, who knows? Scott plans to do some professional and personal writing, he is doing a lot of exercising and even cooking several dinner several nights a week. It’s also great that Scott will have more time for guitar and harmonica. Last but not least, Scott will be in Charleston in November! http://osinitiative.org/ https://twitter.com/metadata2020 Guess all good things must transition! The innovative Derk Haank will retire from his role as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Springer Nature by the end of 2017. Derk will be succeeded by Daniel Ropers, currently CEO of bol.com, who will join Springer Nature on October 1 and work with Derk until December to ensure a smooth transition. Derk has thirty years of experience in the academic publishing industry, almost half of which have been with Springer. He joined Springer Science+Business Media in 2004 as its CEO and drove the migration of content from print to digital, re-inventing the academic book market in the process. Throughout his career, Derk championed new business models and in 2008, led the acquisition of BioMed Central which together with Springer’s own open products led Springer Science+Business Media to become the leading open access publisher in the world. The culmination of his career was the merger of Springer Science+Business Media with the majority of Macmillan Science and Education in 2015. He became CEO of the newly created Springer Nature and for the past two years led the integration of the businesses. Derk Haank, CEO, Springer Nature, commented: “I’m at the stage in my career when I’d like to step back from a CEO role and try something a little different and a little less all consuming. The fact that we have found a great successor in Daniel makes this now possible. I am very proud of all that we’ve achieved together at Springer Nature over the past two years. Whilst I will certainly miss the company and the people that I’ve worked with, this feels like a good time to hand over the reins to someone new. The critical merger related activities are behind us and our growth strategy is bearing fruit. I will be leaving Springer Nature in the capable hands of a strong and highly experienced Management Board and in Daniel, a new CEO who will no doubt bring fresh insight and passion to a business that will remain close to my heart”. Daniel Ropers is an experienced CEO with a proven track record of building successful B2C businesses that led the market. He joins Springer Nature from the digital sector where he co-founded online retailer bol.com in 1999, becoming CEO in 2000. During his 17 years as CEO, Daniel created the leading retail brand in Benelux with a reputation for excellent personalized shopping, reliability and customer service. After two consecutive periods under Private Equity ownership, he steered the sale of bol.com to Benelux based retail group Ahold Delhaize in 2012 and remained its CEO. Outstanding Charleston Conference Director Jack Montgomery sends this news! Western Kentucky University Provost David Lee has announced the appointment of Susann deVries as Dean of University Libraries. Currently the Interim University Librarian at Eastern Michigan University, deVries has extensive experience in library services designed to enhance and support teaching, scholarship, and community engagement. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Calvin College, a master’s degree in Library and Information Science from Wayne State University, and a master’s degree in Historic Preservation from Eastern Michigan University. During her 13 years at Eastern Michigan, deVries has served in a variety of roles including Education Librarian and Department Head prior to becoming Interim University Librarian in 2015. deVries was chosen through a national search process chaired by Potter College Dean Larry Snyder. “It is such an honor and privilege to have been appointed as Dean of University Libraries,” deVries said. “I am thrilled to be joining WKU at this exciting time and look forward to partnering with the excellent library faculty, staff and students to continue developing outstanding library services, collections, and facilities for the WKU community.” deVries will start July 1. She is succeeding Dean Connie Foster who is retiring after 41 years of service to WKU and University Libraries. Peter Froehlich (Purdue University Press) (where does he get his energy?) tells us that the studious Leah Pennywark is now Dr. Pennywark and has successfully landed an assistant acquiring editor position with colleague at Stanford University Press. Earlier in the spring the folks at Purdue University Press landed a new talent in the acquisitions department, Susan Wegener. Have a great day and see you next time!

Welcome to episode 28 of ATG: The Podcast. Against the Grain is your key to the latest news about libraries, publishers, book jobbers, and subscription agents. Our goal is to link publishers, vendors, and librarians by reporting on the issues, literature, and people that impact the world of books and journals. But first, we have an exciting travel award announcement from JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments. Link to the Travel Award   Before we get to the interviews, we have a few announcements to share from the Charleston Conference. We just announced on Friday that we have new and improved session threads. Our lively lunch discussions, concurrent sessions, innovation sessions, and poster sessions are also organized by topic into threads to help attendees navigate the program and hopefully make it easier to make selections for which session to attend. In an effort to consolidate and simplify, we have re-organized them into the following seven groups: Analytics, Collections, Library Services, Management, Scholarly Communication, Technology, and a new thread called Up & Coming, or UC. The UC thread is intended for attendees who are... - New to the profession of library and information studies, including librarians, library staff, vendors, publishers, content providers, consultants, and researchers. - New to the Charleston Conference. - New to the specific areas of focus of the Charleston Conference (collection development, acquisitions, instruction, scholarly communication, technical services, vendor/publisher relations). - MLIS students and recent graduates. - Those with no or limited prior experience presenting at professional conferences.  The UC thread is a terrific opportunity for up & comers to: - Become actively involved in the Charleston Conference.  - Make a stronger case to attend the Charleston Conference.  - Share your unique experience and knowhow in a supportive, reputable professional sphere. - Hone your presentation skills. Do you have ideas, challenges, solutions, or information to share? We encourage proposals that combine UC with other topic threads for lively lunch discussions, concurrent sessions, innovation sessions, and poster sessions.  The Call for Papers proposal form is available at https://www.charlestonlibraryconference.com/call-for-papers/. The link is available in the show notes, and the deadline for submissions is July 14. Registration is now open for the 2017 Charleston Conference as well! Early bird rates apply through September 15. Register today at https://www.charlestonlibraryconference.com/conference-registration/. Have you heard that the Vendor Showcase has a new venue this year? Our one day for exhibits will be held in the Charleston Gaillard Center Grand Ballroom. The move will allow all of our vendors to be on the same floor and in the same location, and will allow more vendors to participate. We’ll have over 140 vendors with the latest electronic products and services. Don’t miss it!  The showcase will be held on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm. For more information, contact Toni Nix (justwrite@lowcountry.com). Follow the conference on Facebook and Twitter to stay current on the latest announcements. Now on with the show! Today we’re excited to bring you a few previews for upcoming preconference sessions for the 2017 Charleston Conference. Our goal is to hear from each session and include them in a series of podcast episodes over the coming weeks. Preconferences are workshops and seminars that range from a half day to a full day in length, and will be held on the Monday and Tuesday prior to the start of the main conference.  These sessions require an additional registration and fee, and are included on the main conference registration form. These are intended to be in-depth learning sessions that will offer a deeper, more thorough look at topics related to collection development and acquisitions. Up first, we have Samantha Kaplan who will be presenting a preconference titled Misinformation. Samantha J. Kaplan is a doctoral student in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She completed a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina. She studies misinformation at the intersection of health and everyday life contexts. Link to the book that Samantha mentions she authored a chapter: Misinformation and Mass Audiences https://utpress.utexas.edu/books/southwell-thorson-sheble-misinformation-and-mass-audiences Up next, the Acquisitions Bootcamp seminar with Rebecca Vargha and Megan Kilb. This session is offered as part of a joint project with UNC Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science. Megan Kilb is the E-Resources Librarian in the University Library's E-Resources & Serials Management Department at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received a B.A. in History from Furman University and her M.S.L.S. from SILS at UNC-Chapel Hill. She's worked in e-resources acquisitions in one capacity or another since 2007. Rebecca Vargha is Librarian, School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill since 2001. Her responsibilities as head of this library include collection development, staff supervision, liaison with departmental faculty and the central library, reference and research assistance, and facilities management.

We shouldn't amputate kids' digital limbs when they come to school! If Applebee's can be lit theatrically to make your food more interesting, why can't this be true in our schools? We need to hear more reasons why we CAN make learning more interesting, and invite the students to help us co-create our learning environments. How do we let students get excited about their learning and become archeologists of their own learning? Rather than focusing on what we CAN'T do, let's focus on what we CAN do no matter what our budget is. The "killer app" for the 21st century is "to learn to love to learn." Kevin challenges us to think new ideas, get rid of laminated lesson plans, and be an advocates for students as together we embrace project-based learning.
