How To Cut A Third Of Your Journal Subscriptions (And Keep Faculty Happy), Janelle L. Wertzberger, Kathleen D'Angelo
How To Cut A Third Of Your Journal Subscriptions (And Keep Faculty Happy), Janelle L. Wertzberger, Kathleen D'Angelo
Janelle Wertzberger
When faced with a 0% budget increase for fiscal year 2010, librarians at Gettysburg College designed a comprehensive review of journal subscriptions. Library staff began by gathering data about format(s), price, publisher, and more. Then subject librarians consulted with academic departments and asked faculty to review titles for relevance to current research and curriculum. 100% of departments cooperated with the review with a mixture of enthusiasm and concern; in the end, most offered to cancel about a third of their journal titles. By trimming multiple format subscriptions, relying on aggregator databases for full text content, cancelling titles that no longer …
Offensive Cyber: Superiority Or Stuck In Legal Hurdles?, Jan Kallberg
Offensive Cyber: Superiority Or Stuck In Legal Hurdles?, Jan Kallberg
Jan Kallberg
In recent years, offensive cyber operations have attracted significant interest from the non-Defense Department academic legal community, prompting numerous articles seeking to create a legal theory for cyber conflicts. Naturally, cyber operations should be used in an ethical way, but the hurdles generated by the legal community are staggering. At a time when the United States has already lost an estimated $4 trillion in intellectual property as a result of foreign cyber espionage, not to mention the loss of military advantage, focusing on what the United States cannot do in cyberspace only hinders efforts to defend the country from future …
The American University: Dilemmas And Directions, Ronald G. Ehrenberg
The American University: Dilemmas And Directions, Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
[Excerpt] American research universities clearly are national treasures. Over the past decade, however, these institutions have increasingly come under attack for a wide variety of alleged sins. Further, their economic bases are increasingly being eroded because of budget problems at federal and state levels, coupled with increased demand for resources to meet competing social needs, such as health care. Thus, although American universities are national treasures, many fear they are entering a period of decline and may well prove to be an endangered species. Why are research universities being attacked, and why are their supporters in both the private and …
A Brief Guide To The Aaup Salary Data, Ronald G. Ehrenberg
A Brief Guide To The Aaup Salary Data, Ronald G. Ehrenberg
Ronald G. Ehrenberg
[Excerpt] The AAUP data not only document faculty salary levels, but may also play a role in determining future levels. They represent average data for all full-time faculty members at the university, excluding faculty in medical colleges and health sciences. Thus, they can not be used to compare salaries within a discipline across institutions. They have long been used, however, by faculty on budget or finance committees to inform discussions with central administrators regarding the parameters of the next year’s budget (e.g. tuition increases, faculty salary increases, and endowment payout rates). Often, the faculty and administration will agree on a …

The Return Of Dr. Strangelove, Jan Kallberg, Adam Lowther
Jan Kallberg
With the prospect of sequestration looming, the United States may find itself increasingly rely ing on nuclear and cy ber deterrence as an affordable means of guaranteeing national sovereignty and preventing major conflict between the U.S. and potential adversaries in the Asia-Pacific. While earlier defense planning and acquisition were based on economic conditions that no longer ex ist, Congress’s options to balance the budget by cutting defense spending are politically palatable because far fewer American are “defense v oters” relative to “social welfare voters,” according to a number of recent public opinion surveys. The simple fact is China’s rise has …

Capitalizing On (Un)Limited Potential: Building Digital Collections With A Student Workforce, Erin Passehl
Erin Passehl Stoddart
Regardless of size or budget, libraries and archives are being asked to do more with fewer resources. Digitization projects are susceptible to these same demands. One way to make progress in this digital environment with a shoestring budget is by taking advantage of a student workforce. This presentation shares strategies for digitizing collections using undergraduate student labor, including working with students with no prior knowledge or experience with archival materials or digital collections. The presentation will also address managing additional educational requirements for credit-earning interns, appropriate assumptions for timelines and workflows, scheduling dilemmas, student turnovers, and working with an untrained …
