The Communication Studies Researcher And The Communication Studies Indexes, David C. Tyler, Signe Swanson, Susan M. Leach May 2005

The Communication Studies Researcher And The Communication Studies Indexes, David C. Tyler, Signe Swanson, Susan M. Leach

UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications

The existence of widely available large, multi-subject, online databases calls into question the necessity for small, discipline-specific indexes to support research. This study attempts to determine whether the online Communication Studies indexes provide access to the journal literature that researchers in the field actually cite and whether, where the current journal literature is concerned, that access is in any way superior to that provided by large, multi-subject, online indexes.

Review Of Scattered Shadows: A Memoir Of Blindness And Vision By John Howard Griffin; Orbis, 2004, Sue Ann Gardner

UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications

The Charles J. Kappler Indian Affairs: Laws And Treaties Internet Site At The Oklahoma State University, Charles D. Bernholz, Suzanne L. Holcombe

UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications

Indigenous nations and issues are a worldwide concern and a number of WWW resources that support multidisciplinary research in this area have been previously identified. The availability of such tools is a boon to cost-effective collection development. One of the previously selected electronic resources was the Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties Internet site at the Oklahoma State University. This commentary describes more fully the use of this collection of treaties created between the Indian Nations and the U.S. federal government. Research examples are used to demonstrate the relationship of these documents to various indigenous issues.

Remarks On Metadata Management, Elaine L. Westbrooks Jan 2005

Remarks On Metadata Management, Elaine L. Westbrooks

UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications

Purpose: As digital resources proliferate, libraries plan to grant easy access to a distributed set of resources from one single entry point inside and outside the OPAC. The quest to manage the metadata about these resources becomes more important than ever. Thus, the term, “metadata management” is being used by various communities creating spatial data, enterprise applications, data warehouses, legacy environments, and bibliographic data. Unfortunately, metadata management is sparsely mentioned in the traditional information technology journals, grey literature, information technology company web sites, and the library science literature. The purpose of this viewpoint is to examine the limited use of …

The Library And The Computer Center: Organizational Patt Erns At Land Grant Universities, Mary K. Bolin Jan 2005

The Library And The Computer Center: Organizational Patt Erns At Land Grant Universities, Mary K. Bolin

UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications

The relationship of the academic library with the campus computing center has been an issue since at least the late 1970s. The issue was discussed at length in the 1980s with little effect on existing organizations. Interest in the issue was rekindled in the 1990s, when a number of institutions merged or aligned the library and the computer center, with varying results. The literature assumes or asserts that it is the norm for academic libraries and computing centers to be merged or administratively aligned. A census of land grant universities contradicts such a view. For this homogeneous group of large …
