Barlow n Pitt to offer paid parental leave new paid parental leave policy for full-time regular and part-time regular staff members is rolling out July 1. A Allowing 20 consecutive work days of paid maternity/ paternity leave in the 12 months following a birth, adoption or foster care child placement, the policy was implemented at Staff Association Council’s suggestion. Details are at www.hr.pitt.edu/ staff-handbook/paid-and-unpaid#PaidParental. Staff members who have benefits are eligible for the new paid parental leave once they have completed six months of work at Pitt, at a minimum of 50 percent effort. They still must file for the Family Medical Leave Act and short-term disability programs. Cheryl Johnson, vice chancellor for Human Resources, says the policy is relatively rare for universities but becoming more common. “Too many people haven’t accumulated enough sick or vacation leave” to take adequate parental leave, she notes. “They are having to come back earlier than they contemplated or they are having to take unpaid leave.

    ABOVE: Fifth Avenue (1910) BELOW: Forbes Avenue (1937) photos above are courtesy of the University of Pittsburgh Archives Service Center Oakland wasn’t always a bustling urban center. The name “Oakland” first appeared, in 1839, in a local paper called Harris’ Intelligencer. It got its name from a stand of oak trees found on the farm of William Eichenbaum. The trees are gone (some say it was ore dust that did them in) but the name stuck. And Oakland grew. In 1904, Arthur A. Hamerschlag, Director of Carnegie Technical School, proclaimed that Oakland was “bound to become the institutional center of Pittsburg*.” Business leaders and property owners in Oakland agreed that Oakland’s future would be filled with great prosperity. They were right. Just look at Oakland today. * That’s not a misspelling. Back in 1890, to try and make Pittsburgh conform to other burgs throughout the U.S., the United States Board on Geographic Names declared our city would be known as “Pittsburg.” It took a public campaign in 1911 and angry local citizens to put the “h” back and restore the original spelling. ABOVE: Oakland, September 2009 alking around Oakland now it’s hard to imagine a rural setting, with 100,000 pedestrians and 75,000 vehicles Wintersecting Oakland daily. Many of those vehicles come in and out of Oakland via the Boulevard of the Allies, Fifth Avenue, and Forbes Avenue. Oakland is a regional hub providing economic growth, capital and jobs. Over the last 25 years, Oakland’s educational and medical institutions have become an international draw bringing students, patients, and visitors from all parts of the world.

    Nationality Rooms Newsletter Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Programs at the University of Pittsburgh http://www.nationalityrooms.pitt.edu/news-events Volume Fall 2014 THE NORWEGIAN NATIONALITY ROOM Dedicated May 15, 1948 THE NORWEGIAN NATIONALITY ROOM E. Maxine Bruhns The warmth and intimacy of a Norwegian cottage is successfully captured in the design of this Room. It is divided into two parts: a large spruce-paneled student area with sloped ceilings, a fireplace, a bay, and a smaller al- cove that houses the professor’s table and chair. The trapezoidal corner fireplace of kleber stone with its birch logs, opposite the state- ly grandfather clock, suggests the North’s long winter nights. The sloped ceiling re- minds one that steep roofs are necessary as protection against the accumulation of heavy snow. The ridge beam of the ceiling is decorated with carved stars and rosettes forming midnight sun motifs. Two-tiered lighting fixtures with tulip cutouts are suspended from turned ornamental stems. The original of the hand-woven tapestry is in Nor- way’s Lillehammer Folk Museum. It depicts the biblical para- ble of the five wise and five foolish virgins. Nearby are brightly painted wall cabinets. The front alcove has a low-beamed ceiling. Doors that in a home would open to reveal a bed here conceal the black- board. This area is painted with elaborate rosemaling de- signs. The professor’s oak chair back is carved with an ancient Viking design of intertwining dragons, while its extended leg posts terminate in bird heads and the armrests in fierce beast heads—all designed to ward off evil.

  • Increasing the Discoverability of Digital Collections Using Wikipedia the Pitt Experience
    Practice Increasing the Discoverability of Digital Collections Using Wikipedia The Pitt Experience Ed Galloway & Cassandra DellaCorte Ed Galloway is Head, Archives Service Center, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh, [email protected] Cassandra DellaCorte is an undergraduate history and communications double major, University of Pittsburgh, [email protected] During the Fall 2013 academic semester at the University of Pittsburgh, two undergraduate history majors performed a Wikipedia internship in the University Library System’s Archives Service Center and Special Collections Department. The purpose was to enhance the discoverability of Pitt’s digital collections and finding aids by creating links from Wikipedia articles to relevant content held by the library’s specialized collection units as well as to generally improve the quality of articles by adding additional information. By editing nearly 100 articles in Wikipedia, the interns developed their own effective strategies to perform this work and learned how to use and edit Wikipedia efficiently, how to navigate library resources effectively, how to decide what types of content would be valuable to add, and how to present new and respectable information. As a result, usage of Pitt’s online digitized collections and finding aids appears to have increased. Introduction It has become almost second nature to turn to the “all-knowing” Wikipedia to look up a quick fact or learn more about practically any given subject. Students have especially come to rely on Wikipedia as the first source of information to get started on a research project (Kim, Sin, & Yoo-Lee, 2014). If this is where the action is, should not archives and special collections be in that stream of information gathering and dissemination? This is not a new concept since archives and special collections have been actively engaged for many years in editing and/or creating entries in Wikipedia in the hope that the links left behind will be followed to their collections for use and study.

  • 'Hoods: Place Branding and the Reconstruction of Identity in Rick Sebak's Pittsburgh Documentaries
    HOUSES, HOT DOGS, AND 'HOODS: PLACE BRANDING AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN RICK SEBAK'S PITTSBURGH DOCUMENTARIES Bryan James McGeary A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Ellen W. Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Scott Magelssen © 2012 Bryan James McGeary All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor This project investigates the implementation of place branding theory via documentary filmmaking focused closely on the local characteristics of a place/region. Employing a close reading of WQED filmmaker Rick Sebak’s Pittsburgh History Series focused upon recurrent themes about aspects of Pittsburgh’s unique identity framed in relation to rhetorical approach and documentary techniques, while also noting aspects left out of Sebak’s films, this dissertation demonstrates the progressive potential of publicly funded documentary filmmaking to enable the residents of a given place to rebrand their identity and foster revitalization, independent of the expectations of city planners or corporate sponsors, and without sacrificing the diversity of experiences that give that place its unique character. As a whole, Sebak’s body of work constructs a particular narrative of Western Pennsylvania’s identity that revamps some of the preexisting notions about that identity. As a project of self-definition and self-understanding, the Pittsburgh History Series provides the local populace with some agency in recreating its image, rather than being branded from the outside. The success of this place branding approach to documentary filmmaking for Sebak and Western Pennsylvania suggests that other cities and regions could use it as a model to take greater control of their identities and cultivate renewal.

Foley, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2007 This dissertation presents an ethnomusicological study of the art of three Pittsburgh jazz drummers, Joe Harris, Ron Tucker, and Roger Humphries with particular reference to the nexus relations between performance practice and the interpretation of experience. Following the work of Davis, Nketia and others this study argues for an approach to the analysis of black music which takes into consideration the viewpoints of the musicians who produce the music as well as those of the community who participate at performance events. Accordingly it examines the art of these drummers not only in terms of sound and structure but also in respect of the cultural factors that govern the operation of style and the meaning systems behind the music.

  • Schenley Plaza and Schenley Park and the Built Environment That Surrounds Both of These Historic Pittsburgh Spaces
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY SCHENLEY PLAZA, SCHENLEY PARK & ENVIRONS Library Guide Series, No. 11 “Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* Introduction Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood was originally designed to be the city’s cultural showcase during the end of the nineteenth and early years of the twentieth centuries. It was the time when model suburbs and the “City Beautiful” movement flowered in urban areas of the country. In Pittsburgh the effort to build a park system in Pittsburgh was inspired by parks and urban development in American and European cities. The park movement in this country was launched in the 1850s with the creation of New York’s Central Park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. Such beautification projects grew from the beliefs of Progressive era reformers responding to rapid growth, over crowding and burgeoning social inequalities in the nation’s cities. Leaders believed that healthful relaxation and pure park air, in contrast, to the hectic and polluted mechanized world of the city, would benefit city dwellers by offering rest for the tired body and weary soul. In addition, reformers believed that parks could improve nature with landscape design, statuary and recreational facilities that would elevate citizens’ attitudes and behavior and inspire civic pride. It was in such an intellectual milieu that Pittsburgh’s park system began as a part of the new Civic Center beginning to rise in Oakland near the end of the nineteenth century. That center would eventually include Carnegie Institute (1895) and Hotel Schenley (1898), as well as other monumental buildings (some of which can not be viewed from Schenley Plaza) such as Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, Pittsburgh Athletic Club and Masonic Temple in addition to University of Pittsburgh buildings like the Cathedral of Learning (1937), Stephen Foster Memorial Building (1937) and Heinz Chapel (1938).
