Publications

Trevor A. Dawes, vice provost for libraries and museums and May Morris University Librarian, was co-editor, with Michael Krasulski from the Community College of Philadelphia, of the second edition of Twenty-First-Century Access Services: On the Front Line of Academic Librarianship. This updated edition of their seminal 2013 volume which has been used as a textbook and a reference guide, provides renewed guidance for library workers who provide critical front-line services in libraries. The book is available through the American Library Association bookstore, https://bit.ly/21CAccessServices and other retailers.

Juliet Dee, legal scholar and associate professor of communication, analyzed how courts have applied laws and a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case to the 2017 Unite the Right march in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Jan. 6 insurrection and storming of the U.S. Capitol. To redress their grievances, plaintiffs have filed civil conspiracy lawsuits instead of invoking the 1968 Anti-Riot Act. Under the Brandenburg test for incitement, established by a 1969 U.S. Supreme Court case, it is difficult for plaintiffs to prove the defendants intended to incite violence. Regardless of the legal outcome, plaintiffs may hope to turn high-profile civil trials into public forums to increase attention and understanding about the cases. Juliet Dee’s research was published in the journal Communication Law Review.

Honors

Brandy Neide, a 2003 graduate of the College of Health Sciences, recently received the Lab Superstar Award from the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification. Neide was among five honorees recognized nationally for outstanding service in the field of laboratory medicine. “There’s so many wonderful people in our field doing great work, so I was both surprised and humbled to receive this national honor,” Neide said. Neide, who was a medical laboratory science (MLS) major at UD, has worked for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for two decades. She currently serves as the director of laboratory operations in CHOP’s Department of Pathology and Lab Medicine.
