Collaborative Clusters: Rethinking User Needs and Breaking Down Barriers

Description: University of North Texas Libraries established an innovative centralized system designed to increase transparency, evidence-based decision-making, and user-centeredness. A series of internal focus groups have revealed that traditional structures continue to silo and homogenize collections. How can libraries better design electronic collections to serve the needs of underserved users? It was presented at the Electronic Resources & Libraries conference held on March 8-11, 2021.

Are States Created Equal? Moving to a State With More Expensive Childcare Reduces Mothers' Odds of Employment

Description: This article investigates whether moving to a state with more expensive childcare is associated with lower odds of maternal employment among mothers who had been employed prior to relocation. Results show that moving to states with fewer childcare barriers is associated with higher levels of maternal employment, partly mitigating the negative labor market effects of interstate migration.

Using the Lonsdorf model for estimating habitat loss and fragmentation effects on pollination service

Description: Article examining the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination separately according to the Lonsdorf model. Results show that the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination are completely different at the landscape and farm levels. This article shows that using the Lonsdorf model could lead to confusing results for the landscape ecologists and farmers who want to reduce the adverse effects of fragmentation on their products by creating new forest patches.
