Paths Through The Darkness: A Survey And Content Analysis Of Holocaust Literature For Children And Young Adults, Jeannie Ferriss
SLIS Connecting
The focus of this study was to survey the monographs related to the Holocaust that were written for children and young adults, in order to examine specific characteristics of the literature such as monograph type (historical fiction or non-fiction, children's or young adult), whether illustrated or not, publisher, and year of publication; protagonist gender dominance, age, type of experience, and the relationship of that fact to collection placement; and physical setting by country and specific location.

Exploring 19th Century Gift Books In A Special Collection: A Collection Analysis, Bernadette Birzer
SLIS Connecting
Descriptions of 19th century literature can be limited because items may be out of print, hard to find, or undocumented. McCain Library and Archives at Southern Miss offers a limited selection of 19th century gift books and annuals; these books can be used to evaluate certain distinct characteristics regarding publishers, dates of publication, authors, and binding styles. This study can help to determine prominent genre characteristics for this era, which may be otherwise difficult to determine considering the scarcity of some of the titles and their editions.

A New Health Informatics Course: A Funded Collaboration, Xinyu Yu
SLIS Connecting
Information access is considered critical to the public health workforce, which involves informatics, communication, analytic assessment, and health education (NN/LM Public Health Training Workgroup, 2004). Information-oriented outreach to the public health workforce is challenging to libraries because the public health workforce is made up of diverse health professions and public health personnel are not aware if key information resources are available to them (Cogdill, 2007). The National Library of Medicine (NLM) funded information outreach to the public health workforce projects in different periods of time, which altogether reflect challenges of providing public health professionals with access to electronic health information …

Identifying the most important individuals, institutions, universities, and other academic activities related to scientific production can help in collaborating and also exchanging information in various fields of science. Scientific cooperation plays an important role in promoting qualitative and quantitative scientific publications. One of the forms of collaboration is co-authorship in which two or more authors collaborate to create scientific work. Co-authorship relationships form collaboration networks that can be analyzed and visualized. The structure of networks like co-authorship can reflect the degree of internal collaboration and show the changes of information through time and other variables

While earning a Graduate Certificate in Archives and Special Collections through The University of Southern Mississippi, a practicum at an archive or special collection was required. This obligation was fulfilled at the Billups-Garth Archives in the Local History Room of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library in Columbus, Mississippi, during the spring of 2012. As part of the practicum requirements, archival collections were processed and research was conducted to document the context and history of a specific collection that is the focus of this study.

The Hattiesburg Coca-Cola museum is currently only opened for special company events and festivities, but there has been discussion of increasing availability to the museum. Even though this collection is currently closed to the public, it is valuable to the company because it generates feelings of pride regarding workers and provides a record of their history working in the community and surrounding area for over 100 years. This paper details the work done in a practicum at the museum.
