The articles, books, published research reports, major recitals or other significant refereed creative achievements, graduate theses and research papers, extramural grants, and faculty/student collaborations produced by the faculty, academic staff, and students serve as indicators of the contributions that . the University ofWisconsin-Eau Claire is making to the expansion of knowledge and the arts. UWEC is pleased to acknowledge these achievements of its faculty, academic staff, and students. The 1995-1996 Report on Publications and Other Scholarly Achievements represents, of course, only a s~all fraction of the total efforts of our faculty, academic staff, and students in research and creative activities. Some of our efforts do not lead to information that can be disseminated in ah externally published form. However, the level of effort recorded in this Report is one measure of the achievements of UWEC. Of the activities catalogued in this Report, nine reasonably distinct categories can be identified: 1. publications which expand disciplinary frontiers of knowledge; 2. publications which transcend disciplinary boundaries by relationships with other disciplines; 3. publications which provide practical applications for research-generated knowledge; 4. publications which synthesize or reiterate research findings for newly identified audiences; 5. published creative works; 6. signit1cant refereed activities which transmit a cultural/artistic heritage and/or expand or deepen the audience's horizons; 7. extramural grants which provide funding for research and sponsored programs; 8. faculty/student collaborations which enrich the scholarly experience for all involved and result in a tangible product such as a papet; a poster, a presentation, a non-print media form, a musical composition, or a new chemical compound; and 9. master theses and graduate student research papers. Copies of the theses and research papers are held in the William D. Mcintyre Library of UWEC and are available for public inspection. Theses on file in the Mcintyre Library are listed in Master's Theses in Education and Master's Theses in the Arts and Social Sciences published by Research Publications, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
