Got a tough reference question and you don't know where to start? Try using our librarian's helper, Reference Universe. Reference Universe is a database that indexes "more than 10,000 reference titles. Nearly 2,000 of these titles are online editions."

Those of us assisting users in Library West have a wonderful new tool to direct people to open computers. As LeiLani Freund and Stephen Williams shared at the recent cross-divisional meeting, "the new interactive computer map for Library West... shows the public workstations on all floors." You can look at the map and see if computers are free in the third floor Info Commons, if the OPACs are in use in the stacks, and whether the computer has a scanner. Locations of the orange and blue printers are also marked.


This map is LIVE! It refreshes every 60 seconds! I have been using the beta for several weeks to direct users to open computers. When I see queuing for computers on the third floor, I take a look at this map and then walk over to direct users to the open spots. It is great!

Please bookmark the West Computer Map (http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/computers/) at the computers where you are assisting users, so it is easy to get to! And post your ideas for using the map here!

Research on chronically low-performing schools suggests that monitoring the implementation and progress of these schools’ improvement efforts can help them use limited resources more effectively.

On this episode of On the Evidence, we talk about a federal experiment using home-delivered boxes packed with fruit, vegetables, and other shelf-stable foods selected by registered dieticians to address food insecurity among children in a rural part of the Chickasaw Nation territory in Oklahoma.

We believe the value of program monitoring is in iteration. By combining live program administrative data with vetted measures of socioeconomic status, we help clients and stakeholders understand alternative payment models and make important improvements.

With the closure of school buildings fundamentally disrupting the way students receive services, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the national conversation about education.

The employment rate among people with disabilities has consistently been low. People with disabilities face many barriers to securing competitive, integrated employment, such as lack of access to transportation, difficulty finding a job, and needs for workplace accommodations. Mathematica is evaluating the SourceAmerica Pathways to Careers program, a customized employment service model designed to help people with intellectual or developmental disabilities or autism obtain competitive integrated employment that matches their skills, interests, strengths, and abilities. This webinar featured a panel of experts who will discuss how Pathways promotes competitive integrated employment, give an employer’s perspective on partnering with Pathways and hiring its participants, present interim evaluation outcomes, and report on SourceAmerica’s plans to expand the customized employment service model.

There is increased awareness and urgency within the research community to ensure that evaluation and assessment practices are sensitive to the cultures of people who are most impacted by those practices. Driven by changing demographics and the increasing complexity of problems that researchers and communities seek to address, new efforts are underway to develop research practices that better account for the unique perspectives and needs of the communities being studied. But there is hardly consensus on what culturally responsive research actually means or, more broadly, what implications such approaches could have on evidence-based policies and programs.

Mathematica brought together leaders from a variety of sectors to discuss the challenges of becoming data driven and offer action-oriented, accessible advice on how organizations can take their first steps, or their next steps, to progress together.

This webinar defined educational inequity and discussed its implications. It included a brief introduction to culturally responsive pedagogy and what broader systemic changes may be necessary to implement equity and culturally responsive pedagogy.

This webinar explored research on culturally responsive pedagogy and what is known about its effectiveness.

This webinar explored how a school and district have approached the challenge of implementing culturally responsive practice. It elaborated on programs, policies, and practices that were implemented to support efforts to achieve equity and use culturally responsive pedagogy.
