of sleep patients attain during overnight hospital stays. Patients can have difficulty sleeping due to the new environment, a high level of environmental stimulation, and frequent interruption during sleep due to bathroom visits and/or planned care. This educational module for night shift healthcare workers will introduce interventions to promote sleep and their impact on length of patient hospital stay as well as patient satisfaction. Deirdre Burns - “On the Fringe” (session 10) My project explores Sherwood Anderson’s story “Hands,” in “Winesburg Ohio.” It was written in 1919 by Sherwood Anderson who has become somewhat of a forgotten author. In his literature he explored grotesque characters. A grotesque character according to Anderson are people who live out their truth in their lives but their truth turns out to be false and twists them psychologically. Wing Biddlebaum in the story “Hands” is one of Anderson’s grotesque characters. Wing’s hands have turned him into a grotesque and have left him isolated, misunderstood, and trapped in his traumatic past unable to become a fully realized human being. I will do a presentation on the story “Hands”with the goal of discussing Anderson’s literature and ideas with an audience. I will discuss why Wing has become grotesque and the characteristics that make him this way. I will use direct quotes from the story to support my evidence.

Bryan Carson - “Bibliotherapy: A Literature Review” (session 23) “Bibliotherapy” is a mental health treatment where professionals suggest or assign reading related to the client’s feelings, diagnoses, or situations. It was originally either interactive (mediated) with librarians and mental health providers in collaboration, or used as a self-help technique. For librarians, Bibliotherapy is related to reference and reader’s advisory assistance, recommending books, articles, websites, and other sources which help readers find the information that they need. Recently, however, most providers use the self-help definition. While studies using mediated Bibliotherapy showed effectiveness, self-help doesn’t work as well. I will review how the definition and execution of Bibliotherapy has changed.
