Charles T. Saunders, Ph.D., began using OhioLINK resources while working on his Ph.D. in Workforce Development and Education at The Ohio State University. Now, as chair of the Forensic Accounting, Business Forensics and Information Systems Audit Programs at Franklin University, he uses OhioLINK resources for both teaching and professional development.
John Brogan is working to find, and blur, the border between art and science. A senior at Case Western Reserve University, Brogan has already become a seasoned traveler, authored two books and partnered with the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for a research project. Brogan is studying cognitive science, which he describes as a blend of psychology and philosophy, taken within the lens of a hard science.
Brogan takes advantage of OhioLINK’s database access, frequently using PsycNET and PsycINFO to inform both his research and his books. By infusing cognitive science into the structure of his new book, he challenges readers to play with their own...
Christine Raber, Ph.D., can truly say her use of OhioLINK resources has real-life application. A professor of Shawnee State University’s Master of Occupational Therapy program, Raber specializes in the rehabilitation of dementia patients. More specifically, she researches strategies and opportunities that can motivate persons with dementia to use their abilities to stay connected and engaged in life. She has presented her research at international forums in the UK, Sweden, and Japan. Raber also supervises service-learning experiences in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. With such a busy lifestyle, easy access to research resources from anywhere is critical.
“I utilize OhioLINK resources all the time – at home, in my office and in other venues here and abroad,” Raber said.
Raber’s unique...
Undeniably, researchers can appreciate OhioLINK’s vast stockpile of literature from around the world, but perhaps none so much as Xavier University’s Suparna Chatterjee, an assistant professor who seeks to understand the unequal geographies of globalization. Her work culminates information from economics, history, business and anthropology, to name a few, to study how ideas spread and impact the lives of people across the globe.
“I like to see how concepts and ideas travel, what is added and lost in its translation across social and spatial divides,” Chatterjee said.
A native of India, Chatterjee brings to the classroom an awareness of translating and mediating unfamiliar and distant concepts across...
OhioLINK’s Historical Resources Help Researcher Uncover the Truth about Louis XVI
History student, Heather Sommer, uses OhioLINK databases to discover 18th century political opinions about America’s first foreign ally
Heather Sommer, an undergraduate student at Ohio Northern University, is uncovering information regarding the United States’ early foreign policy. For her senior thesis, she is researching American opinion of Louis XVI from the beginning of the French Revolutionary period through his death and the subsequent abolition of the monarchy.
Online databases provided by Ohio Northern University’s Heterick Memorial Library and OhioLINK have proved to be invaluable resources for Sommer’s research. A wealth of primary sources, including 18th century newspaper articles printed in the United States and documents by leading American political...
Lynn Ulatowski, a PhD graduate of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), recently transitioned from her Post-doctoral fellowship with CWRU to continue her research as an assistant professor at Ursuline College. Her Dissertation topic: Regulation of Vitamin E and Tocopherol Transfer protein received the Academic Excellence Award. Ulatowski has dedicated her career to studying how vitamin E moves throughout the human body, particularly in the brain. Her research could aid patients who are already diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s, ALS and Down’s syndrome.
OhioLINK provides Ulatowski with access to relevant, current and previously published journals that allow her to generate new research on...
Josh Javor, an undergraduate student in Ohio State’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, received a 2015 Pelotonia Undergraduate Fellowship in May. Javor is in the final stages of designing a microscope that employs a detection method currently used in material science engineering to help oncologic surgeons quickly identify tumor margins in the operating room.
“Our job is to create a device that will be non-invasive and will tell [surgeons] in real time what the tumor margin is on a 3D stage in the operating room,” Javor said.
While the engineering side of his work may come naturally, he has used resources provided through OhioLINK throughout his undergraduate...
