On Friday, April 17, the UO Libraries hosted a talk by Carl T. Bergstrom, a University of Washington evolutionary biologist and well-known analyst of the scholarly communications industry. Bergstrom’s talk is entitled “The Structure and Economics of Scholarly Publishing.” Bergstrom is an expert on the economics of journal publishing and has developed a tool called the “eigenfactor,” which provides an alternative to the impact factors currently used to rank journals.

Bergstrom also discussed the sky-rocketing rates libraries and others have to pay for subscriptions to scholarly journals. Subscription rates have quickly outpaced library budgets for journal acquisitions and have limited their ability to provide university faculty members with ready access to journal articles.

Dr. Edward Tick is a practicing psychotherapist who has worked with veterans with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for more than 30 years. For Tick, the key to helping veterans heal lies in how we understand PTSD.

Tick defines PTSD as more than simply a stress and anxiety disorder; it is also an identity disorder and a “wounding of the soul” resulting from the deep trauma of war. Using a holistic, psycho-spiritual model—including Greek mythology and Native American traditions—Tick helps veterans confront and heal their wounds and thereby become whole again.

Tick is the founder of Soldier’s Heart, a non-profit veterans advocacy and safe-return program. His clinical practice and his work with Soldier’s Heart are the basis for his recent book, War and the Soul: Healing Our Nation’s Veterans from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (2005).

The research upon which it was based began in the 1960’s with the exploration of packet-switching concepts as alternative to conventional telephony circuit switching. In the intervening 40 or so years, the Internet has evolved in significant ways, but it has also left unresolved a number of issues that need attention. In this talk, we will briefly explore a few highlights of the Internet’s evolution and then look at some of the new anticipated applications that are foreseeable.

Moffitt’s speech, “In Praise of Surprises: Lessons from Conflict Resolution,” dealt with the importance of keeping an open mind when dealing with the conflicts that inevitably arise in life.

“We have done our students a disservice if we have taught them that now they are educated, they should no longer expect to be surprised,” Moffitt says. “To be surprised is to be open to new information and new points of view. We learn when we see something we didn’t expect to see.” That unexpected moment, he says, can lead to a broader understanding of how to resolve conflicts.
