Females In The Midwest And Great Plains, 1815-1890: An Annotated Bibliography, Jane Maree Kemp-Ulfers

Graduate Research Papers

Historians have traditionally viewed the Westward Movement in terms of the male experience and ignored the role of women completely. Because the woman's role in the settlement of the West was often a domestic role, it has been assigned little importance. Women were, however, instrumental in the pioneering of the West, especially in the Midwest and Great Plains. History textbooks often provide little information on women. The use of supplemental materials will, therefore, greatly add to a student's understanding of women and their contributions to American history. In addition, the inclusion of literature in the study of history can make …

The Effects Of Storytelling Experiences On Vocabulary Skills Of Second Grade Students, Gail E. Froyen

Graduate Research Papers

Subjects were 40 second grade students from Lowell School, Waterloo, IA. The students met for 14 weekly forty minute sessions where they heard folktales, learned folktales to tell, and told or listened to each other tell folktales. All second grade students were tested with the ITBS Primary Battery in October 1986 (pre-test) and the subjects took the post-test in April, 1987.

The null hypothesis stated there would be no significant difference in standard scores at p<.05 using as pre-and post-tests ITBS Primary Test V-Vocabulary when compared using NCE's to the national norms of that test. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference at the p<.005 level. Therefore, the hypothesis was rejected

Changes In Cooperation Among Selected Schools And Public Libraries In Iowa, Patricia Ann Ipsen

Graduate Research Papers

The results of this study may indicate that while Iibrary professionals in Iowa view cooperation as a desirable goal, there is little formal activity between and among school and public libraries. The attendance at state sponsored workshops may have little effect on actual practice in the 18 communities which participated In the ICEMS program. There may be increased cooperative activity in those communities which made some attempts prior to the workshops. However, these activities tend to be fairly traditional and conservative. In communities new to the idea, the participants may be open to change, but psychological and physical barriers may …

The Politics Of Protest Collections: Developing Social Action Archives, Sarah Cooper

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In this article, the term politics is used in a broad sense to suggest that there are definite, though not always explicit, assumptions and values affecting the nature and extent of the documentary record preserved on social movements in this era. Though of main concern in this discussion is how values affect the collecting of materials on radical social change, the value systems under which archivists operate affect any kind of collecting endeavor.

Fitting In: The Automation Of The Archives At Northwestern University, Patricia Cloud

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

By now the archival community has begun in earnest, though not always cheerfully, to participate in that special sector of the information revolution which involves the MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) formats created by the Library of Congress. Most especially, many archivists are beginning to make use, or planning to begin to make use, of the recently published USMARC Archival and Manuscripts Control format, generally known as the MARC-AMC format, or simply AMC.

Documenting The Gay Rights Movement, Elizabeth Knowlton Jr., Lofton Wilson

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists must take an active role in collecting gay records. They cannot depend on traditional, passive techniques to document either the gay rights movement or the lives of homosexuals in America--unless they are so naive as to expect these records to appear miraculously on their shelves. More likely, as with other social reform movements, records will be lost in the daily living of people who have too little time and money to document and observe the immediacy of their lives.

Library Service In Iowa Juvenile Correctional Institutions Compared With National Standards Prepared By The American Correctional Association, Ellen Youds

Graduate Research Papers

This study was done to determine the extent to which the two juvenile correctional institution libraries in Iowa met selected standards from Library Standards for Juvenile Correctional Institutions, prepared by the American Correctional Association. The hypothesis of the study was that neither of the institutions would meet 50% or more of the selected standards.

The two librarians completed a questionnaire and were also interviewed. The library at Eldora met over 50% of the selected standards. The librarian is a member of the educational and planning team. This facilitates the meeting of many of the standards. The library at Toledo met …
