Letters: Elimination Of Scholarships, Sue Ann Gardner
Letters: Elimination Of Scholarships, Sue Ann Gardner
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
Jay Hegde (Letters, 29 Oct., p. 637) asserts that “science students enter graduate school for the wrong reasons” when they seek “wholesale tuition waivers and stipends.” The implication is that students, with their sights set only on the big bucks they’ll rake in as graduate students, disregard that they may be unemployed after receiving their doctorate because of the lack of professional-level positions. Anyone who has gone through graduate school on a tuition waiver and stipend knows that big bucks it ain’t, so that is unlikely to be the major reason someone chooses to continue his or her education...

The Nebraska Newspaper Project, Katherine L. Walter
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
The Nebraska Newspaper Project completed a planning grant in 1992/93 with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grant provided support for a major survey to identify significant collections of newspapers around Nebraska. Surveys were sent to newspaper publishing companies, county and municipal clerks' offices, historical societies, libraries, and genealogical societies. While there were many responses to the written surveys, telephone calls had to be made to about one third of the institutions. In some cases, staff visited collections around the state to verify holdings.
The survey proved that the most significant collection in the state is at …
British Parliamentary Papers: A Simplified Guide For The Harried Librarian, Jeanetta Drueke, Gretchen Holten, Tom Mcfarland
British Parliamentary Papers: A Simplified Guide For The Harried Librarian, Jeanetta Drueke, Gretchen Holten, Tom Mcfarland
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
While several guides to the Parliamentary Papers exist, they are too lengthy for quick reference, are outdated, use unfamiliar terminology, and assume a previous knowledge of British government. Two other factors can make the guides confusing. First, the use of the term Parliamentary Papers is not always clear. It is sometimes applied, as it is in this article, to the entire range of papers produced by and for Parliament. Sometimes, however, it is applied more narrowly and refers only to a portion of the Papers also known as the Sessional Papers. Secondly, the available guides do not always indicate whether …

Recognizing Multiple Decision-Making Models: A Guide For Managers, Joan Giesecke
Recognizing Multiple Decision-Making Models: A Guide For Managers, Joan Giesecke
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
Empirical studies of decision making find that the process is more disorderly than described in rational models. New models have appeared that suggest that managers need to accommodate the randomness found in complex organizations. This article examines two approaches for dealing with this disorder: the political-bargaining model and the garbage can model. The essay clarifies the differences between these two approaches and assesses their usefulness to managers for understanding the decision-making process.

Report of the Kansas Library Network Board's Preservation Committee to the citizens of Kansas
As the twenty-first century approaches, Kansas librarians, archivists, genealogists, records managers, and historians are seeking solutions to a crisis.
The crisis is the disintegration of the state's information resources. Documents recording births, deaths, inheritances and laws are all susceptible to the degradation of the materials on which they are recorded.
Neither paper nor optical disk will survive forever—acidic paper becomes embrittled in 50–80 years; optical disks and the equipment to access the information upon them may not last fifteen years.
Despite the inevitability of some loss, …

Automating Idaho's Libraries, Mary K. Bolin
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
The history of library automation in Idaho is iilustrative of the course of library automation throughout the United States. Idaho's effort to automate its libraries is the story of cooperative ventures designed to help libraries work together to further their own interests. The role of LSCA, the Idaho State Library, the geogaphy, and other unique characteristics of the state, as well as the role of WLN, are examined.

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the causal agent of bacterial ring rot, was detected in field-grown potatoes using a 1.078-kb repeated C. m. sepedonicus sequence as a probe in DNA hybridizations. Stem and petiole samples from susceptible and tolerant cultivars (Russet Burbank and Belrus, respectively), inoculated with 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) or 102 or 109 cfu of either an aggressive or a less aggressive C. m. sepedonicus strain, were processed by directly blotting cut tissue sections on nylon membranes, macerating frozen tissues, and applying xylem fluid collected by centrifugation to nylon membranes (stems only). The efficiency of detection …
