Lgbtiq Teens - Plugged In And Unfiltered: How Internet Filtering Impairs Construction Of Online Communities, Identity Formation, And Access To Health Information, David Brian Holt

Law Librarian Scholarship

Holding Patterns: Current Trends In Serial Holding Statements, Betty J. Sibley

W&M Libraries Publications

This work reports on the results of a survey conducted on current trends in serial holdings statements. Respondents described the type of formats used in constructing holdings statements and associated display and system issues.

The study examines what libraries are currently doing to convert their holdings statements to comply with the American National Standards Institute/National Information Standards Organization Z39.71-2006 display standard and MARC21 Format for Holdings Data.

Collection Development For The Department Of Psychology,, Charles D. Bernholz

Collection Development Policies -- UNL Libraries

The University of Nebraska was founded in Lincoln in 1871, but it took almost two decades until psychology courses were offered.

Harry K. Wolfe enrolled as an undergraduate in the University in 1876, just five years after the University was chartered. Four years later, he graduated in a class of eight. Three years later, he went to Leipzig Germany to study in the laboratory of the founder of experimental psychology, Professor Wilhelm …
