Abstract | abstract | text | Project abstract. | Healing Through Collaboration will complete the Portland health libraries' consortium catalog by integrating bibliographic data from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) with the shared catalog used by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM), and Western States Chiropractic College (WSCC). Each college brings unique holdings to this collection, including OCOM's exceptional resources on acupuncture and Oriental medicine. This project will facilitate better resource sharing among all of the institutions on the consortium catalog. By making these resources available to all patrons of the institutions and reciprocal libraries via interlibrary loan, there will be an increased awareness of oriental medical literature, thus opening up potential for better informed health practitioners and patients. In year one of two, the Multnomah County Library will carry out a process evaluation designed to collect information that will be used to improve the program's impact on kindergarten readiness for Spanish-speaking children; determine what modifications might be needed and implement those program modifications; and add to the growing body of knowledge about what approaches work best for Spanish-speaking children entering kindergarten. This grant follows project 12-03-3p Listos Para Aprender. This project will create global access to 212 interviews in the OHS Research Library collection, unique primary source documentation of Oregon politics, law, and government on local, county, state, federal and international levels currently on obsolescent analog tapes. Interviewees include lawmakers, judges, and government officials, with a wide variety of perspectives and insights. Virtual access to these historically significant recordings will benefit students, educators, scholars, and all Oregonians, with broad appeal for scholarship, education, and informed citizenship. Lewis & Clark College Special Collections is collecting oral histories, documents, photographs, and ephemera from members of the Vietnamese community in and around Portland, Oregon. In the second year of this project, we will add depth and diversity of the collection, and promote access and use of the collection. The first year of the two-year Oregon Poetic Voices project will digitize existing recordings of Oregon poets available to Lewis & Clark College Special Collections for which there is copyright clearance. The project will also establish two recording studios (one in Portland and the other in Madras/Warm Springs Indian reservation) for the creation of new recordings. Materials will be available to the state's poets, teachers, and students through a web page. In the second year two additional studios will be established to expand the availability of recorded materials view top 100 |
