Gathering The Needles Evaluating The Impact Of Gold Open Access Content With Traditional Subscription Journals, Jill Emery, Alison Bobal
Gathering The Needles Evaluating The Impact Of Gold Open Access Content With Traditional Subscription Journals, Jill Emery, Alison Bobal
Jill Emery
Investigating the use of gold open access content within subscription content has been a near impossible task until the adoption of the COUNTER 4 statistics in 2014. By reviewing the COUNTER JR1 GOA 2014 reports, two librarians evaluate the gold open access usage at their respective institutions from the following publishers: Elsevier, NPG, Sage, Springer, and Wiley. This initial investigation will be a benchmark for future studies to see if there is any impact on subscribed content or if usage is limited to non-subscribed content from these providers. Attendees will become familiar with the JR1 GOA reports from COUNTER as …
What Goes Around Comes Around: Calibrating The Academic Research Life Cycle To The Oa Life Cycle, Jill Emery, Graham Stone
What Goes Around Comes Around: Calibrating The Academic Research Life Cycle To The Oa Life Cycle, Jill Emery, Graham Stone
Jill Emery
This presentation will outline the key components of the academic research life cycle and how libraries can align their services to best serve academic authors. By walking through each component of the academic research life cycle, we will outline the services libraries currently have available or can develop to best coordinate with the activities undertaken by the research community. This talk will also explore the development work occurring above the campus level to indicate the most useful standards and services available beyond the campus environment. In addition, the presenters will also explore the need to develop further life cycles for …
Shared Print In The Orbis Cascade Alliance, Jill Emery, Xan Arch, Jim Bunnelle
Shared Print In The Orbis Cascade Alliance, Jill Emery, Xan Arch, Jim Bunnelle
Jill Emery
Shared Print programs are one of the most important collaborative activities being pursued by many regional library groups. The Orbis Cascade Alliance (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho) and Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (Colorado and Wyoming) each have multi-state regional programs which demonstrate unique characteristics and features. In the Orbis Cascade Alliance, librarians are having to re-visit historic shared purchases. They will explore one such project and examine steps taken to reconcile current institutional needs with past collection-building priorities.

Learning To Give A Hoot: Open Access Workflows For Academic Librarians (Oawal), Jill Emery
Learning To Give A Hoot: Open Access Workflows For Academic Librarians (Oawal), Jill Emery
Jill Emery
Graham Stone and Jill Emery have been working to try to develop an outline of some of the best practices for managing open access workflow management in academic libraries. In March 2014, we went live with OAWAL (pronounced owl): a crowdsourced blog/wiki to develop some of these practices and learn what innovators and experts in the field of scholarly communications and open access management have been doing. Our project is international in scope and relies heavily on countries such as the UK where country mandates are driving the development of workflows and management tools. This presentation will focus on recent …
The Decline And Fall Of The Hudson’S Bay Company Village At Fort Vancouver, Douglas Wilson
The Decline And Fall Of The Hudson’S Bay Company Village At Fort Vancouver, Douglas Wilson
Douglas C. Wilson
Archaeological exploration of the remains of the Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Vancouver and its Village (also known as “Kanaka Village”), including its demise in the 1850s, provides the means to explore a difficult but important period in history that continues to shape modern relations between indigenous peoples and other Americans. Historical archaeology provides an independent measure of the Village, supplementing and enlarging its history, and shifting the focus to its inhabitants. Exploration of the human use of space, investment in houses, and ceramics use by households offer new insights into the fur trade community. These data provide us a means …
Report On Libraries And Mobile Technologies In The Age Of The Visible College By Bryan Alexander, Mary Ellen Kenreich
Report On Libraries And Mobile Technologies In The Age Of The Visible College By Bryan Alexander, Mary Ellen Kenreich
Mary Ellen Kenreich
How is the mobile revolution transforming libraries? What will library services and librarians look like in the age of a ubiquitously networked civilization? We begin by surveying what changes have already hit: an expanded device universe,
the e-book renaissance, the growth of new media
ecosystems, nearly-always-on user access, and the
initial switch from 'library as place' to 'place as library'.
Next we assess how mobility has impacted academia,
from teaching to research and student life. Then we
explore scenarios of the future, based on an analysis of
current trends. Scenarios include: Post-Residential
Academe; Open World; Silo World; Alt.Residential.

Using System Dynamics To Contribute To Ecological Economics, Takuro Uehara, Yoko Nagase, Wayne W. Wakeland
Using System Dynamics To Contribute To Ecological Economics, Takuro Uehara, Yoko Nagase, Wayne W. Wakeland
Wayne W. Wakeland
This paper demonstrates the usefulness of the system dynamics approach to the development of ecological economics, the study of the interactions between economic systems and ecological systems. We build and analyze an ecological economic model: an extension of a population–resource dynamics model developed by Brander and Taylor and published in American Economic Review in 1998. The focus of the present paper is on the model building and analysis to contribute to theory building rather than eliciting policy implications from the model. Hence, this is an example of model-based theory building using system dynamics. Our analysis sheds light on several problems …
Report On Publishing 2.0: How The Internet Changes Publications In Society, By Kent Anderson, Mary Ellen Kenreich
Report On Publishing 2.0: How The Internet Changes Publications In Society, By Kent Anderson, Mary Ellen Kenreich
Mary Ellen Kenreich
A report on a NASIG conference session by Kent Anderson titled "Publishing 2.0: How the Internet Changes Publications in Society." Anderson attempts to summarize and predict social changes instigated and propelled by the advent of the internet and the rise of information technology. Chief among these changes is the fact that consumers now have access to the same publishing tools as traditional media producers.
Comparing Discrete Simulation And System Dynamics: Modeling An Anti-Insurgency Influence Operation, Wayne W. Wakeland, Una E. Medina
Comparing Discrete Simulation And System Dynamics: Modeling An Anti-Insurgency Influence Operation, Wayne W. Wakeland, Una E. Medina
Wayne W. Wakeland
This paper contrasts the tradeoffs of modeling the same dynamic problem at a micro scale and at a macro scale of analysis: discrete system simulation (DS) versus continuous system simulation or system dynamics (SD). Both are employed to model the influence of entertainment education on terrorist system decay, with implications for field application. Each method optimizes different design, scope/scale, data availability/accuracy, parameter settings, and system sensitivities. Whether the research served by the computer model is applied or theoretical, DS tends to be useful for understand low-level individual unit/step influences on system change over time, whereas SD tends to shine when …
System Dynamics Implementation Of An Extended Brander And Taylor-Like Easter Island Model, Takuro Uehara, Yoko Nagase, Wayne W. Wakeland
System Dynamics Implementation Of An Extended Brander And Taylor-Like Easter Island Model, Takuro Uehara, Yoko Nagase, Wayne W. Wakeland
Wayne W. Wakeland
We provide a system dynamics implementation of a dynamic ecological economics model. Dynamic economic models are often constrained to use functions, such as the Cobb-Douglas function, chosen “conveniently” to allow for analytic solutions. The C-D function, however, suffers from its fixed elasticity that does not allow for the substitutability between man-made capital and natural capital to change, which is vital for economic sustainability. Using system dynamics removes this constraint and enables more realistic ecological economics models containing functions not amenable to analytic solution. The base model is the natural resource and population growth model developed by Brander and Taylor (1998) …
The Emlen Scales: A Packet Of Scales For Measuring The Quality Of Child Care From A Parent's Point Of View, Arthur C. Emlen
The Emlen Scales: A Packet Of Scales For Measuring The Quality Of Child Care From A Parent's Point Of View, Arthur C. Emlen
Arthur C. Emlen
Presented and reviewed in a compendium of 35 sets of measures of quality of child care, published by Child Trends. The so-called “Emlen scales” are the only parent measures of childcare quality in the national compendium— assessments based on detailed perceptions of the care of their own child. The other 34 sets of measures are based on professional standards, observations, and ratings that have questionable relevance to the vast diversity of childcare arrangements. This document was prepared under Contract # HHSP233200500198U with the Administration for Children and Families, U S Department of Health and Human Services. Prepared for: Ivelisse Martinez-Beck, …
New Developments In The Behavioral Ecology And Conservation Of Ruffed Lemurs (Varecia), Natalie Vasey
New Developments In The Behavioral Ecology And Conservation Of Ruffed Lemurs (Varecia), Natalie Vasey
Natalie Vasey
The papers in this issue were presented at a symposium during the 25th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Primatologists held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in June 2002. This symposium brought together many of the scientists who have contributed to our knowledge of ruffed lemur ecology, behavior, and conservation in the past decade. One objective was to share and compare key findings about ruffed lemurs (Varecia) resulting from long-term field studies at various sites in Madagascar. A second objective was to cross-fertilize work being done in the wild with that being done in captivity, with the aim of advancing …
Identifying Deportable Aliens In The Los Angeles County Jail: Implementing The Hi-Caap Federal-Local Partnership, Barbara Raymond, Laura J. Hickman, Elizabeth Williams
Identifying Deportable Aliens In The Los Angeles County Jail: Implementing The Hi-Caap Federal-Local Partnership, Barbara Raymond, Laura J. Hickman, Elizabeth Williams
Laura J. Hickman
Throughout the 1990s, Los Angeles (L.A.) County officials grew increasingly concerned about the negative impact of criminally involved aliens on local public safety and criminal justice resources. Of particular concern was that subgroup of criminal aliens who had been previously deported from the United States and later rearrested for new criminal activity in L.A. County. In response, a multi-agency partnership was formed called High Intensity Criminal Alien Apprehension and Prosecution (HI-CAAP). The goals of the HI-CAAP partnership are to increase the identification and federal prosecution of previously deported criminal aliens. This report is an assessment of the partnership’s progress toward …
The Seventy Percent Solution: Assessing Criteria For Model Fund Allocations, Mary Ellen Kenreich, Claudia Weston, Sarah Beasley, Cyril Oberlander, Don Frank
The Seventy Percent Solution: Assessing Criteria For Model Fund Allocations, Mary Ellen Kenreich, Claudia Weston, Sarah Beasley, Cyril Oberlander, Don Frank
Mary Ellen Kenreich
Conference report presented at the NASIG 18th annual conference held in 2003. Portland State University Library's fund allocation committee presented information and practical advice on the process of developing a model to reallocate funding for library materials. After experimenting with funding ratios, they decided to use their model to reallocate 30 percent of the funds earmarked for discipline-specific materials while protecting 70 percent of each discipline's original allocation.
Beyond Guilt: How To Deal With Societal Racism, Lauren N. Nile, Jack C. Straton
Beyond Guilt: How To Deal With Societal Racism, Lauren N. Nile, Jack C. Straton
Jack C. Straton
This article addresses the specific form of racism that we refer to as “societal,” and provides a method of responding to the guilt-based reactions of many European Americans to the subject of racism. We examine the “daily indignities” to which people of color are subjected and the additional hurt they feel when those indignities are either denied or blamed on them. Finally, we provide practical methods for European Americans to engage in micro-revolutionary change, using their invisible privilege to interrupt the small-scale, insidious incidents of injustice that pass before their eyes.

Manifestations Of Ergativity In Quiché Grammar, Tom Larsen
Tom Larsen
This study examines the various types of ergative phenomena in the grammar of the Mayan language Quiche spoken in Guatemala. There is a brief discussion of the phonology of Quiche together with a discussion of the various orthographies which have been used to write the language. This is followed by discussions of the morphology of pronouns, nouns, adjectives, intransitive verbs, transitive verbs, positionals, adverbs, and particles. These discussions include a complete and thorough account of the inflectional morphology, including the ergative/absolutive verb agreement system. There are also brief discussions of the more important derivational processes. This is followed by a …
