Figure 1. A) Gummy skeleton with belly button annotated with red arrow B) Springiness by sample color.

Methods Section: Haribo Gummi Bears (Sugar Free) were purchased from Amazon.com (UPC: 422384500110). Gummy bears were placed in the SpringOMatic 3000 (ICanPickleThat, Portland OR) according to the manufactures instructions.

Methods: A schematic of a Gummi Bear was cropped to indicate where the belly button is located (Fig. 1). At this point, raw experimental data showing the bounce, amplitude, and color were analyzed and the springiness calculated for each color of bear. This was accomplished by dividing the bounce by the amplitude and plotting this against bear color.

Methods and Materials

Gummi Bears were obtained through Amazon in 3 kg bags. Lot and temperature during transport data were not made available. Bears were housed in a plastic bowl in accordance with IACUC policy and national standards for gummi bear care. They were housed at room temperature on a natural light cycle.

Food and water were provided ad libitum (consumption was not monitored)

Each bear was sampled only once to reduce costs

Gummy Bear Springiness by Color

Methods

Image cropping, magnification, and layout were performed in PowerPoint and Paint. Paint was used to resize the inset map, and all images were arranged in Powerpoint.

Quantitative data were imported into Stata for visualization. The group mean was calculated and a reference line was added to the visualization.

Methods: 

Using the Springomatic data file, I created a formula in Excel to 

calculate Springiness of the Gummy Bears by Color 

(Bounces/Amplitude). Using Excel’s “recommended” charts for 

this type of data, I chose a simple bar graph.  I changed the colors 

of the bars to reflect the colors of the gummy bears. 

To communicate the anatomy of the belly button I used the 

existing Gummy Bear anatomy image and “hacked” it using 

Microsoft Word shapes and textboxes. I added a “48” and tried to 

match the design style of the original image file. The only space 

for the text in the legend came under “Brain & Spine.”

The Most Curious Customer Feedback Survey I Have Ever Seen by Nate bolt on Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0

When & How to Assess

Environmental Scan

◎ Where are the gaps?

◎ Who are your partners?

◎ Anecdotal evidence

Formal Assessment

◎ Survey instruments

◎ Interviews

◎ Focus Groups

01/21/2016

15

Asking the Right Questions

Getting at the Pain Points

◎ Too little time, money, skills?

◎ Can’t locate the appropriate

resources?

◎ Who would want my data?

3. RDM Service Models

Frameworks for Execution

Staffing Strategies

Balancing Resources, Needs & Aspirations

◎ The Solo Librarian

◎ The Team (formal or ad hoc)

◎ The Power of Partnerships

Assessing Your Resources & Strengths

Consider…

◎ Where should it sit in the

organization?

◎ Who has experience and who

needs education?

◎ Who are your partners?
