The Linked Systems Project Provides Current Access To Authority Information, Nita Dean, Karen S. Calhoun

Karen S Calhoun

In 1985, the first computer-to-computer distribution of name authority records for cataloging was made through the Linked Systems Project (LSP), a networking tool that links the computer systems of the Library of Congress, the Research Libraries Group (RLG), and OCLC. Since then, two other LSP capabilities-record contribution and intersystem searching-have been implemented, providing the means for national sharing of name authority data among diverse systems.

Blaming It On God: Considerations When Presented With Supernatural Explanatory Entities, James M. Donovan

James M. Donovan

If the presence of an anthropologist at a fieldsite indicates that there exist unknowns, then for that anthropologist off-handedly to dismiss informant responses as irrelevant, inadequate, or otherwise poor explanations for observed phenomena is an intellectually arrogant, if not dangerous act.

What then does the anthropologist do with statements that "god willed it" and "the spirits did it"? To dismiss them without good reasons is to be guilty of intellectual condescension; but what constitutes a "good reason," either to reject or to accept such testimony? This essay seeks to consider just such "good reasons," to see if they are as …

Arbitrage And The Savings Behavior Of State Governments, Gilbert E. Metcalf

Gilbert E. Metcalf

The federal tax code creates strong incentives for tax arbitrage on the part of state governments. This arbitrage activity is illegal and previous research has typically assumed that the constraint against arbitrage activity is binding. This paper explicitly tests this proposition by considering whether financial asset holdings increase as the yield spread between taxable and tax exempt securities rises. Using a data set on 40 state governments over a seven year period, I find that there is a significant response to changes in the yield spread. One implication of these results is that the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which …

An Analysis By Means Of Naturalistic Approaches Of Two Complex Behaviors. In Gilbert, Nigel (Ed.) Proceedings Of The Workshop On Complex Systems, Ethnomethodology And Interaction Analysis., Barbara H. Kwasnik

Barbara H. Kwasnik

This paper describes two studies I which naturalistic approaches were used to investigate complex human behaviors. The first study is a description of the way in which people organize their documents in their own offices; the second study aims for a functional description of the behavior known as “browsing”. Both studies use thinking-out-loud protocols, observation, and interviews in the setting in which behaviors take place. The rationale for the choice of techniques is presented along with a discussion of advantages and difficulties.

Diseconomies Of Scale In Employment Contracts, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, Todd Zenger

Eric Bennett Rasmusen

We find that small teams can write more efficient incentive contracts than large teams when agents choose individual effort levels but the principal observes only the joint output. This result is helpful in understanding organizational diseconomies of scale and is consistent with both existing evidence and our own analysis of data from the Current Population Survey. Our modelling approach, similar to classical hypothesis testing, is of interest because we need not derive the optimal contract to show the advantage of small teams.

La Investigación Urbana En El Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Es relativamente difícil precisar el origen cronológico de un campo o área del conocimiento en un país determinado. Más aún si se tiene en cuenta que la constituci6n teórica de un campo ele conocimiento supera las fronteras nacionales y de que el objeto empírico del estudio es anterior a su constitución teórica. Es decir le precede y es una condici6n necesaria pero insuficiente. Para el caso que nos interesa, este objeto es "la ciudad", que hist6ricamente existe en el Ecuador, según algunas hipótesis, desde la conquista española (Carrión, F.1986)(2); sin embargo, un pensamiento relativamente consistente sobre ella recién se inicia …

The Kavousi-Thriphti Survey, 1988-1989, Margaret S. Mook, Donald Haggis

Margaret S. Mook

Excavation was continued in four Late Minoan buildings on the north side of the Roussolakkos town site (Buildings 1 and 3-5). Building 1 was severely eroded but was fully revealed in outline, and good evidence was recovered for its history: founded in late LM lA, it replaced an MM IIB/LM lA structure in which metallurgical work in copper had taken place. Domestic activity (grinding grain and cooking) and some religious functions are among those suggested for the successive periods of later occupation (LM IB, LM II, and LM Ill). Building 3, adjacent to this, was much better preserved, up to …

Education For Acquisitions: A History, Karen Schmidt

Karen Schmidt

Once an essential part of the library school curriculum, acquisitions in the present day rarely, if ever, is taught on a regular basis. Acquisitions is seen not simply as a specialization of a relatively few librarians, but as a fundamental part of the work of librarians in many settings. A review of early formal training in acquisitions and the textbooks pertaining to the subject, and an analysis of the literature provide an historical perspec¬tive on education for acquisitions, and suggest elements that may provide basic and adequate training in acquisitions useful to all librarians.

Unionism And The Political Party Structure Of Northern Ireland, Allan Leonard

Allan Leonard

This undergraduate independent study examined Unionist political reaction to developments of British Government policy towards Northern Ireland. Namely, Nationalist representatives achieved redress with the British Government, both directly and vis-a-vis the Irish Government, which should have compelled Unionists to pursue a more accommodationalist policy. Regardless, there was a paradoxical drive by integrationists in Northern Ireland for direct electoral candidacy by the Conservative Party in the regional constituency. This paper makes a defence in favour of this campaign, as a means of improving the accountability of British Government policy affecting those in its jurisdiction.

Efficiency Mages. Mark-Up Pricing And Effective Demand, Peter Skott

Peter Skott

The combination of an efficiency wage approach with the explicit consideration of pricinq and product market conditions leads to the existence of a unique NAIRU. The value of the NAIRU can be influenced by a variety of supply side policies but aqqreqate demand policies may also play a role. The effort function will be related to workers' waqe aspirations and if waqe aspirations depend on past outcomes of the distributional struqqle then an important element of hysteresis is introduced into the system. Expansionary demand policies which increase employment will be asaociated with unanticipated inflation. Real waqes will fall below the …

Australia Day And National Identity, Mark Pearson

Mark Pearson

This dissertation argues that the scope and substance of the celebration of Australia Day this century can be explained using theories of national identity and invented tradition. It draws upon the columns of capital city newspapers in selected years to gauge how Australians celebrated their national day and what they thought about its significance. The dissertation argues that for most of this century Australia Day failed to make its mark on the national calendar because Australians' perceptions of their nationality were inextricably tied to their feelings of kinship with the British people. Australia Day was identified more with the hedonism …

Sex-Role Identity And Mental Ability, Gregory J. Boyle, Michael E. Bernard, Beverly F. Jackling

Gregory J. Boyle

The central concern of this study was to explore the relationship between sex-role identity (measured by a bi-dimensional scale of masculinity and femininity) and field independence and scholastic intelligence. One hundred and forty Australian males and 181 females in grades 11 and 12 completed the Witkin Group Embedded Figures Test, the Otis Higher Test C of intelligence and a shortened version of the Bem Sex Role Identity Questionnaire. The correlation between performance on the Witkins and Otis was 0.53. Males performed significantly better on the Witkin and Otis than females. Males with lower masculinity scores scored better on the Otis …
