Formal Instruction In Library Skills At The High School Level: The Present Situation And Implications For Future Instruction, Margaret V. Hearity

Graduate Research Papers

Since the Dewey Decimal System, upon which the organization of most public and school libraries is based, is not likely to be well understood through a random approach, and since many individual items in the library require, for fullest use and benefit, an understanding of their organization and purpose, the hypothesis of this paper is that skills in the use of the library as a whole and of its many materials need to be taught in a formal manner.

In an effort to conclude whether this hypothesis has validity, the writer has sought to learn what many students of the …

A Comment On Media Center-Directed Leisure Reading Guidance In The Secondary School, Rozella Lister Stull

Graduate Research Papers

Today' s media specialist faces a great many demands upon her expertise. There can be no distinction made between the toils of selection to the rigors of cataloging. Nor may one emphasize the importance of bibliographic work over the necessity of film previewing. Media specialists are constantly bombarded with newer and more difficult tasks as services are expanded to meet the needs of the youth of the 70's. The media center has become in many cases an all encompassing unit with little differentiation among its services. The question then being how can one service be singled out as particularly significant. …

White-Tailed Deer Movement At Pilot Knob State Park, Iowa, Michael D. Zagata, Arnold O. Haugen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Range and movement of 12 marked deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were studied at Pilot Knob State Park and surrounding lands from December, 1969, through May, 1972. Winter ranges of all marked deer included timber inside and outside the park and cropland outside the park. Deer generally bedded in timber during daylight and fed or bedded in croplands at night. Mean range of all marked deer was 283 acres. Range size varied from 49 to 1,129 acres. Mean known minimum daily movement (round trip) was 1.2 miles. Daily movement varied from 0.60 to 1.8 miles. Variables, tested by regression analysis for their …

Thermal Structure Of Clear Lake, Iowa, Roger W. Bachmann, Theodore V. Jacobsen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Summer water temperatures in the shallow areas of Clear Lake were slightly higher and had a greater daily range than temperatures measured in the limnetic zone. The lake was not thermally stratified, although small differences sometimes were found between surface and bottom temperatures at the deepest point. Temperatures measured in the Clear Lake Water Treatment Plant were representative of those measured in the limnetic zone of the lake and provide a useful index of temperature conditions in the lake as a whole. The average annual temperature curve is asymmetrical, with the highest temperature falling on August 5 and the lowest …

Discrimination Between Mediated Facilitation And Mediated Inhibition Items, Bruce K. Britton

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In a class of mediation paradigms investigated intensively by Schulz (1972), data suggested that subjects were capable of discriminating rapidly and accurately between mediated facilitation and mediated inhibition items. An experiment was conducted in which this discrimination was tested directly. Results showed the discrimination occurred.

Bacteria Of Foods And Utensils In The Luther College Food Service, Decorah, Iowa, Marilyn Peitso, Cheryl Anderson, John Tjostem

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Total bacteria counts were obtained from precooked frozen entrees and other frozen food items. All the counts were well below federal and state recommended limits. Total bacteria counts were also obtained from representative food preparation surfaces and utensils. While most counts were below acceptable limits, the fiberglass cafeteria trays showed counts substantially above the limits. Normal wear eventually exposes the fibrous tray interior, allowing accumulation of soluble foodstuffs and rapid multiplication of bacteria. Worn fiberglass cafeteria trays should be recognized as a potential health hazard.

Radiative Heat Loss From Skin To Cold Glass Windows, L. K. Lassahn, G. E. Folk Jr., C. H. Seberg

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Today institutional rooms of many types have single large glass window panes measuring as large as 3.0 meters by 2.5 meters; animal colonies are maintained near these windows in winter, office workers sit by them and thinly clad patients on littercarts are placed beside them. Even though both local air and wall temperature may be 22°C, human subjects beside the windows in winter feel cold because body heat is radiated to the glass which acts as a heat sink. An experiment was conducted during two Iowa winters with measurements of temperatures of outside air, room, wall, undraped glass window, drape-covered …

Tommy And The Cloud, Leon Green

Graduate Research Papers

Tommy and the Cloud is an attempt to create an experience. It tells of a small boy's imagination, and his search for something more satisfying; than that provided by ordinary childhood.

The story is followed by a subjective analysis of Tommy and the Cloud in light of certain literary qualities shared by "good" children's books. Some of the concepts to be explored will include theme--the underlying idea or ideas of a story; originality of idea or presentation--there's a difference between a truly unique approach and an unrealistic overly-fantastic "ripoff"; and characterization--do the people seem real and lifelike? The reader may …

Treatment Of The American Indian In Eight Junior Novels, Linda Ann Carlsen

Graduate Research Papers

American Indians have had to struggle for more than their physical survival. It is not only land that has been appropriated; it has been a fight to keep mind and soul together, for along with the United States Cavalry, missionaries, educators and the "Americanizers", have come the writers of books about Indians.

The Effect Of Alternate Schooling On The Self-Concept, James R. Stuart

Graduate Research Papers

In teaching, traditionally the nature of the learner has had little to do wi th what we decided to teach him (Weinstein, 1974). Existential psychology has taken a more individual view of behavior. the existential researcher cannot see the person from outside that person's world. He makes an effort to see the person's world as that person sees it. Existential psychology has attacked the idea of interpreting individual behavior in terms of abstract general laws Each person is dealt with as a unique person. (May,, 1958)

Public Library Service For The Preschool Child, Betty Bergman

Graduate Research Papers

Story telling is considered one of the oldest arts, but the preschool story hour for three to five year olds is relatively new in library work. Research indicates the first story hours for pre­schoolers began in the public library in the late 1930's and the early 1940's. Only very recently, is there evidence of public library service beyond the traditional print-oriented preschool story hour for the preschool child. For example, such federally funded experimental projects as the one developed and implemented by Erie Public Library, Erie, Pennsylvania in 1972 entitled "Media Library for Preschoolers" and the San Francisco Public Library's …

The Utilization Of Paperbacks In High School Libraries, Betty Cornelius

Ainsworth Rand Spofford And His Contributions To The Library Of Congress, Larry E. Vickroy

Graduate Research Papers

This paper will show the growth and expansion of the Library of Congress. Through the co-operation of Mr. Spofford and Congress, the Library is one of the finest in the world. In order to survive and grow, many obstacles had to be overcome. The two main ones were: The copyright law and the new classification system. However, more material had to be obtained as well as a new building constructed with a staff to distribute the materials. This paper will show that even though Mr. Spofford had many hardships he did not give up.

A Study Of The Attitudes Of Iowa Junior High Media Specialists Concerning Sex And Sexuality Materials In The Media Center, Elizabeth Campbell

Graduate Research Papers

This research was undertaken as a study of attitudes toward sex and sexuality materials and their availability and use in junior high media centers. Several basic assumptions were accepted before the study began. The first assumption: the Media Center best serves the school by maintaining a wide selection of media at different levels of ability and interest, and a large portion of these materials are selected to support the school's curricular objectives. The second assumption: if the Media Center is truly serving the school, the Media Specialist must be providing up to date and vital information concerning adolescent sexuality. A …
