Reproduced And Emergent Genres Of Communication On The World-Wide Web, Kevin Crowston, Marie Williams

School of Information Studies - Faculty Scholarship

The World-Wide Web is growing quickly and being applied to many new types of communications. As a basis for studying organizational communications, Yates and Orlikowski [1, 2] proposed using genres. They defined genres as, “typified communicative actions characterized by similar substance and form and taken in response to recurrent situations” [1, p. 299]. They further suggested that communications in a new media will show both reproduction or adaptation of existing communicative genres as well as the emergence of new genres. We studied this phenomena on the World-Wide Web by examining randomly selected Web pages (100 in one sample and 1000 …

Medieval And Renaissance Book Production, Richard W. Clement

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

There is a widely held, yet erroneous, belief that the invention of the book was concurrent with the invention of printing. Somehow it is assumed that the act of printing--that is producing a book by mechanical means--endows the finished product with that essence that embodies a book. After all, the hand-produced book is called a manuscript, not simply a book, and early-printed books are called incunabula, books in their infancy. We are accustomed to think of the periods of manuscripts and printed books as distinct. Traditionally a scholar working in one of these fields has known little of the other …

Will Books Survive In Tommorow's Library?, Pat Newcombe

Faculty Scholarship

The Author discusses how Library leaders foresee the library of the future providing a complementary combination of both digital and book collections. The complexity of technology change will call for library professionals who are just as comfortable navigating a cyberspace of electronic information resources as working with traditional resources. Libraries in the future must maintain a balance between the extremes of the digital library and the low-tech library of the past.

Instruction On The Web: Getting All Librarians Involved, Cynthia Wright Swaine

Libraries Faculty & Staff Publications

The Collection Development Council at Old Dominion University (Virginia) decided to involve all subject specialist librarians in creating guides to web resources in the disciplines for which they serve as bibliographers. The project was intended to help librarians become familiar with Internet resources in their fields of expertise and give them experience with World Wide Web searching. A worksheet for bibliographers and a sample guide were provided. Librarians were asked to complete a worksheet for one of their assigned areas of collection development in the next year.

Portrayal Of Hiv And Aids In Novels Appropriate For Young Adults, Andrea J. G. Frederickson

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to determine how HIV/ AIDS is portrayed in literature that is appropriate for young adults. The study was a content analysis using a checklist to record methods of HIV infection for characters, methods of HIV/ AIDS prevention presented, and whether the information presented was consistent with an HIV/ AIDS fact sheet. This fact sheet was derived from information provided by the American Red Cross. The books studied did not contain characters that were infected by all scientifically confirmed modes of HIV transmission. No books in this study included a character who had been infected …

Helping Librarians To Encourage Critical Thinking Through Active Learning Techniques In Library Instruction, Cynthia Wright Swaine

Libraries Faculty & Staff Publications

Encouraging librarians to incorporate critical thinking skills and active learning techniques in their course instruction requires more than talking about it in a department meeting or distributing articles on the topic. At Old Dominion University (Virginia), librarians have tried conducting workshops, had readily-accessible binders of articles and suggestions for librarians to consult, and held idea-sharing sessions. They have also tried including a related library instruction annual performance objective for each reference librarian involved in instruction. This paper describes this latest attempt to incorporate active learning in library instruction and includes an active learning planning sheet which serves as an outline …
