Item Open Access Measuring Changes in Phenology of Oklahoma Asteraceae Using Herbarium Specimens [Data set](2021-12) Unterschuetz, John A.; Messick, Jennifer A.; Moore, Abigail J.This is the data set for: Unterschutez, J., Moore, A., & Messick, J. (2021). Measuring changes in phenology of Oklahoma asteraceae using herbarium specimens. Oklahoma Native Plant Record, 21. https://doi.org/10.22488/okstate.22.100002Item Open Access 2020 Democratic presidential candidates tweets about climate change(2022) Meeks, LindseyClimate change is a consensus issue among US Democrats, yet even within this agreement there can be divergence. Rooted in scholarship on rational choice theory and framing, this study content analyzes how the top four 2020 Democratic presidential candidates differentially framed climate change on Twitter. Results revealed that (a) progressive versus moderate Democrats constructed climate change narratives befitting their intraparty ideologies, (b) candidates created cohesive framing strategies across Entman’s (1993) framing functions and a newly proposed function of framing affected publics, and (c) climate change frames were integrated with the campaign’s overarching themes and issue foci.Item Open Access Photo Album of Iranian Zoroastrians, 1934-1937(2022) Marashi, Afshin; Patel, DinyarThe photographs in this album depict the Iranian Zoroastrian communities of Yazd, Kerman, and Tehran. Taken between 1934 and 1937, the photographs were originally compiled together as part of a bound photo album produced for the Iranian Zoroastrian Anjoman of Bombay: many of the photos bear the stamp of the organization on their reverse sides. These photographs were taken and compiled by administrators of Parsi-funded charities in order to demonstrate to Bombay-based Parsi benefactors how their charity efforts were being used inside Iran.Item Open Access Navigating Screens: Libraries as Community Hubs for Teaching Positive Screen Media Practices(2018) Willett, Rebekah; Abbas, June; Agosto, Denise E.Most children are spending increasing amounts of time each day using a wide range of digital media (e.g. smartphones, iPads, and laptops). However, parents and other caregivers are often unequipped to play the roles of media mentors and family digital literacy educators, and most youth services librarians are unsure how to talk to parents about teaching good digital media use habits. The Navigating Screens project team features three nationally-recognized youth and media researchers (Willett, from The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Abbas, from The University of Oklahoma, and Agosto, from Drexel University) plus an advisory board comprised of public and school librarians, as well as influential youth and technology experts with strong ties to schools, youth groups, and other community organizations. With research and testing sites in five different U.S. public libraries in three different geographic areas, Navigating Screens gathered a rich set of data from parents and library and other professionals to learn the digital media practices within families who have children ages 5-11, and to explore how libraries and library staff guide parents in media practices. The data set includes transcripts from interviews with parents, library staff, and community professionals.

Data was collected from June to September of 2010. The data was collected from field plots in a common garden at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture (35°53’47.84’’N, 83°57’22.86”W). The data file was created on June 1st, 2010. See attached Souza_ReadMe.rtf file for additional details. In June of 2010, we established a common garden experiment where we manipulated genotypic diversity and soil nutrients in a completely randomized plot design. Diversity plots contained 6 individuals, one individual of 6 randomly selected genotypes. In a fully factorial design, monoculture and diversity plots were subject to one of four nutrient treatments: (1) control (no nutrient amendment), (2) nitrogen (N) amendment (10 g m-2 yr-1), (3) phosphorus (P) amendment (10 g m-2 yr-1), and (4) P and N amendment (P = 5 g m-2 yr-1and N = 5 g m-2 yr-1). We then tracked ecosystem structure (plant height, plant diameter, plant biomass, leaf area index, above-ground productivity) and ecosystem functions (net ecosystem CO2 and H20 exchange, ecosystem water use efficiency).Item Open Access Transcribing the Past Project Data(2015-05) OU LibrariesTranscribing the Past was a crowd-sourced transcription project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War.
