Presenters Cindy Ahonen and Katherine Wheatle, NSSE Project Associates, have compiled tips and creative examples to consider during the 2014 NSSE survey administration, offer reminders and strategies for new partners and stakeholders to involve in your survey promotion plan, and provide ways to maximize technology and social media to reach the most students.
The Hydra Project is a large collaboration among many institutions sharing needs for open software digital repository solutions. Indiana University is a Hydra Partner, and as such, is both developing new Hydra "heads" and leveraging heads developed by other partners. In this presentation, we will describe the Hydra Project objectives, the primary components of the technology (Fedora, Solr, Blacklight), how the community collaborates, and the benefits of this collaboration. The Avalon Media System was our first Hydra-based project, but now we are also collaborating on a new institutional repository solution as well as a new "page turner" Hydra head for digitized paged media. The Hydra Partner community holds great promise for lower cost, tailorable digital repositories for libraries and archives.
Matlab is a numerical programming environment with a large library of functions for numerical analysis and computation. This workshop will be an introduction to Matlab syntax and computation. We will cover:
Basic Matlab data structures and syntax
Importing and exporting data
Plotting curves and surfaces
Running simple statistical tests
Comments on Matlab’s use in image processing and GIS.
The workshop assumes no prior familiarity with Matlab.
Social-ecological research studies complex human-natural environments and the uses and sharing of ecological resources. Elinor Ostrom, a Nobel prize laureate from IU, pioneered the idea that social-ecological data can be collected and stored in a centralized database, which will capture complex relationships between various components of data and facilitate their collective collaborative use. While useful in its active stage, databases present a challenge for archival and preservation, especially if they are stored in a proprietary format and where changes are often applied retrospectively to both new and existing data. In this talk we will present an approach to archiving a social-ecological research database, the International Forestry Resources and Institutions (IFRI) database, and discuss challenges that we encountered as well as lessons learned. The talk aims at stimulating a discussion about preservation of complex data objects and possible solutions that can be generalized beyond one case.

David C. Krane took his journalism skills, his innate curiosity and the scientific influence of his nuclear physicist father and combined them into a career as a Google pioneer. Krane was part of Google’s senior leadership team in its early days as a start-up, serving as senior director of global communications and public affairs. He now is a general partner in Google Ventures, which invests in start-up technology companies.
Krane came to Bloomington from Portland, Ore., to study clarinet and saxophone in the Jacobs School of Music. But his intellectual curiosity compelled him to switch to journalism, where he specialized in broadcast and took classes in public relations.
After graduation, Krane moved to San Diego for a summer internship with marketing communications company Phillips-Ramsey/McCann Erickson Worldwide. He remained on the West Coast, working in a variety of communications positions that emphasized technology.
As circulation director at Tabor Griffin Communications in San Diego, he led the development of a prototype e-publication. In subsequent jobs, he taught himself to build websites and led high-tech PR campaigns for technology clients, at one point working with Yahoo and Apple. Before joining Google, he was senior director for global marketing communications and investor relations for Certicom, Inc., a security software company.
Krane joined Google in 2000. He was the “voice of Google,” serving as the company’s main media contact. He also created most of Google’s international offices, and hired, mentored and managed the majority of the employees there.
At Google Ventures, he has been responsible for investments in more than a dozen start-up technology companies.
Krane serves on the School of Informatics and Computing’s dean’s advisory board. He also is on the board of the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Palo Alto, Calif., using his technical knowledge to advance access for people with visual impairments through Google.
Everett G. Martin spent his career reporting from some of the world’s most turbulent locales. He was Newsweek’s bureau chief in Saigon during the war in Vietnam and covered the 1973 Chilean coup for The Wall Street Journal. During his time in Vietnam, he befriended author John Steinbeck, who later said Martin’s work was “some of the best reporting I have ever read.”
Martin’s first overseas adventure was as a college student, when he shipped out one summer as a cabin boy on freighter going to Cuba. At IU, he was a night editor and city editor of the Indiana Daily Student. After graduation, he started his career at the City News Bureau of Chicago at $15 a week. From there, he went to the Elkhart Truth and then to the Christian Science Monitor. In 1958, the Monitor sent him to cover the auto industry in Detroit, where The Wall Street Journal later hired him. He moved to New York City, and continued to cover labor and the auto industry.
Martin’s next move was to Time magazine to write about business. He followed his editor to Newsweek, where he worked as deputy foreign editor and covered the United Nations. In the early 1960s, he was given his first overseas assignment: a temporary posting in Hong Kong. He covered Singapore’s expulsion from Malaysia and the India-Pakistani war so effectively that Newsweek made him a permanent foreign correspondent.
In January 1966, Martin was sent to Saigon to set up Newsweek’s bureau. He reported on the war, ran the bureau and briefed visiting dignitaries such as Edward Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
Martin was expelled from Vietnam in 1968 for reporting on government corruption. Newsweek assigned Martin as Hong Kong bureau chief covering Southeast Asia. He traveled with Filipino Sen. Benigno Aquino during his campaign against President Ferdinand Marcos.
He returned to Boston, where he spent a year as an associate professor in the Edward R. Murrow Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. The Wall Street Journal then hired him to cover South America, which he did for 18 years. His work won the Overseas Press Club’s Ed Stout Award in 1973 and Columbia University’s Maria Moors Cabot Prize in 1983. He retired in 1988 and died in 2013.
