Testing The Barriers To Digital Libraries: A Study Seeking Copyright Permission To Digitize Published Works, Carole A. George Jan 2005

Testing The Barriers To Digital Libraries: A Study Seeking Copyright Permission To Digitize Published Works, Carole A. George

Carole A. George

Purpose: The aim was to explore the issues related to acquiring copyright permission with the goal of determining effectiveness and efficiency using the least complex process. Methodology: A random sample of books was chosen, relevant information was recorded, request letters were sent and tracked, and results (permission received or denied) were analyzed with respect to publisher, publication data, time required, and issues related to the process. Findings: About 52 percent responded with a yes or no with 24 percent Yes responses. Nearly 25 percent never responded, addresses were not found for about 16 percent, approximately 7 percent were too complicated …

Application Of Factor Analysis In Psychological Research: Improvement Of Simple Structure By Computer Assisted Graphic Oblique Transformation: A Brief Note, Gregory J. Boyle Jan 1986

Application Of Factor Analysis In Psychological Research: Improvement Of Simple Structure By Computer Assisted Graphic Oblique Transformation: A Brief Note, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

Several studies have suggested the efficacy of topological rotation as an adjunct to oblique analytical rotation in attaining improved approximation to maximum simple structure of the factor pattern matrix. Recently, using a higher- order scale factoring of the Objective Motivation Analysis Test (MAT), and the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ), Boyle(1983) reported a 6.17% increase in the ±.10 hyperplane count after only five Rotoplot cycles. Four of the 11 extracted factors were simplified in line with Thurstone’s simple structure requirements. The present brief note examines the issue of topological rotation in regard to its usefulness and ease of application by investigators …
