An Overlap Study Of Architecture Resources On The Internet, Jeanne M. Brown
An Overlap Study Of Architecture Resources On The Internet, Jeanne M. Brown
Library Faculty Publications
Every librarian knows the importance of a core collection of print materials. Those are "the important materials that form the center of the collection that most libraries would wish to hold."(FN1) Now certain Web sites and certain categories of sites are starting to emerge as core Internet resources. This paper studies whether there is consensus among architecture librarians and bibliographers about the Web sites of value for students and faculty in accredited architecture degree programs.
Publish Or Perish: A Dilemma For Academic Librarians?, W. Bede Mitchell, Mary Reichel
Publish Or Perish: A Dilemma For Academic Librarians?, W. Bede Mitchell, Mary Reichel
Library Faculty Publications
This study examines the influence of scholarly requirements on librarians’ ability to earn tenure or continuous employment. After a literature review, the authors present the results of a survey of research, doctoral, and master’s-level institutions. Of the 690 responding institutions, 54.3 percent employ tenure-track librarians. Of these, more than 60 percent require some scholarship and 34.6 percent encourage it. At these 374 institutions, 92.2 percent of librarians who underwent tenure review during a three-year period were approved. The authors summarize survey information on librarians not granted tenure as well as those believed by directors to have resigned to avoid tenure …

The Biblical Basis Of Selection, Jeffery S. Gates
The Biblical Basis Of Selection, Jeffery S. Gates
Library Faculty Publications
Selection is not only the first step if! libraria1lship, it is also the first application of the philosophy of librarianship. Before anything call be searched and accessed in a library, it must be selected by that library. But the process of selection requires a selection policy~- whether or not it is written. A written selection policy would help in sure consistency in the selection process, but whether it is written or 1I0t, one who selects resources for a library does follow some policy. And this policy is shaped by the selector's philosophy of librarianship.

Information Resources In Interdisciplinary Writing Program (Iwp) Courses: Winter And Spring 1998, Anne E. Zald, Nana Lowell
Library Faculty Publications
The University of Washington (UW) Interdisciplinary Writing Program (IWP) provides five-credit expository writing courses each of which is linked to a discipline-based lecture course. Students enroll in both the writing and discipline-based courses, and complementary assignments allow them to improve their writing skills within a subject area of their own particular interest. In Winter and Spring of 1998, the UW UWired program sponsored a pilot program adding librarian-taught class sessions to existing IWP courses. These sessions focused on the use of information resources in the context of student research for writing assignments. Post-course questionnaires were composed primarily of items drawn …

Internet Resources: Expanding The Reference Power Of The Architectural Library, Jeanne M. Brown
Internet Resources: Expanding The Reference Power Of The Architectural Library, Jeanne M. Brown
Library Faculty Publications
Architects have varied and eclectic needs for information. Some types of information are needed repeatedly. Some types are needed only occasionally. A university branch library or a firm library attempts to handle the ongoing needs with in-house resources. As for the occasional need, space and financial considerations have necessitated a reliance on larger libraries, a situation which works with varying degrees of success.
So it has been until now. Now the Internet is starting to change the ground rules. I say STARTING, for several reasons. First, many libraries and firms do not yet have access to the Internet. Second, awareness …

On Becoming Faculty Librarians: Acculturation Problems And Remedies, W. Bede Mitchell, Bruce Morton
On Becoming Faculty Librarians: Acculturation Problems And Remedies, W. Bede Mitchell, Bruce Morton
Library Faculty Publications
The acculturation of librarians to faculty librarian positions is compared and contrasted to the socialization process of the professoriate. Substantive differences in graduate library education and the attitudes it cultivates are discussed. Librarians are seen, for the most part, as being ill-prepared to assume peer roles within a university faculty. Suggestions are offered to remedy this dysfunctional pattern.
On The Use Of Positive Reinforcement To Minimize The Problem Of Overdue Library Materials, W. Bede Mitchell
On The Use Of Positive Reinforcement To Minimize The Problem Of Overdue Library Materials, W. Bede Mitchell
Library Faculty Publications
Few issues in librarianship have been as long-lived and frustrating to address as the problem of overdue library materials. Even the most cursory review of the professional literature finds dozens of articles about the problem of overdues.(1) Most of the literature appears to have been written under the assumption that only negative reinforcement techniques (e.g., fines, blocking further borrowing, legal action, etc.) can be effective in minimizing the problem of overdue library materials. However, many librarians have expressed dissatisfaction with the use of fines and other sanctions. Unfortunately, the alternative methods for minimizing overdues have produced mixed results. For example, …
Publication Requirements And Tenure Approval Rates: An Issue For Academic Librarians, W. Bede Mitchell, L. Stanislava Swieszkowski
Publication Requirements And Tenure Approval Rates: An Issue For Academic Librarians, W. Bede Mitchell, L. Stanislava Swieszkowski
Library Faculty Publications
One hundred and thirty-eight members of the Center for Research Libraries responded to a survey designed to test the hypothesis that where tenure-track librarians are required to do research and publish, an inadequate research and publication record would be the most frequent cause for the rejection of the librarians' tenure applications. The hypothesis proved valid, but only for a small percentage of the librarians. The study revealed a generally high tenure approval rate (81.5 percent) for academic librarians compared to the national average for other academic faculty (58 percent).

Normalization: A Method For Structured File Design, Jerry V. Caswell
Library Faculty Publications
Library automation requires an extraordinary investment of time and money in the development and maintenance of databases. Irrespective of whether a library sets up a stand-alone system such as circulation, a group of more or less related subsystems, or a totally integrated system, it can be certain of one thing: over time needs will change, new applications will have to be developed, and modifications will have to be made to the file structure of the databases. Of principal concern to the designers of a library's databases should be finding a design structure that will allow modifications to be made with …
