Empowering The Intentional Learner: A Critical Theory For Information Literacy Instruction, John J. Doherty, Kevin Ketchner

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The empowered intentional learner is a starting point towards a grounded theory in information literacy instruction. The authors engage this theory in a critical dialogue with instructional practice, in this instance a for-credit college freshman class built around information literacy concepts. Only through such reflection, where theory informs practice and practice informs theory, is it possible to develop a grounded theory where a less privileged role for the instruction librarian takes a back seat role to the control students should have over their own learning.

Online Tutorials: Tips From The Literature, Cecile Bianco

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Do You Really Want To Be A Forum?, Leonard Hitchcock

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This article examines what a public forum is, and whether or not a library can legitimately claim to be one. Beginning with an imaginary visit to a rather odd public park, and a brief review of the development of the legal doctrine of the public forum, an attempt is made to establish that the library 1) falls far short of being a genuine public forum, 2) is actually ambivalent about being a forum at all, and 3) could, if it really wanted to, become much more of a forum by making a very simple change in its online catalog.

The Transnational Judicial Discourse And Felon Disenfranchisement: Re-Examining The Textual Premise Of Richardson V. Ramirez, Jason G. Morgan-Foster

ExpressO

This article is simultaneously an international comparative law piece about prisoner disenfranchisement in various countries, a transnational work of legal theory providing a framework for the use of foreign law in domestic constitutional courts, and a domestic analysis of the constitutional underpinnings of felon disenfranchisement.

The article begins with a comprehensive comparative analysis of the recent prisoner disenfranchisement decisions in Canada, South Africa, and Europe. It notes that the over-arching theme of these decisions is to view the acceptability of prisoner disenfranchisement along a continuum, where it becomes more acceptable the more serious the offense committed.

The article then examines …

Grain Boundary Scars On Spherical Crystals, Mark Bowick, Thomas Einert, Peter Lipowsky, Jorg Schilling, Andreas R. Bausch

Physics - All Scholarship

We present an experimental system suitable for producing spherical crystals and for observing the distribution of lattice defects (disclinations and dislocations) on a significant fraction (50%) of the sphere. The introduction of fluorescently labeled particles enables us to determine the location and orientation of grain boundary scars. We find that the total number of scars and the number of excess dislocations per scar agree with theoretical predictions and that the geometrical centers of the scars are roughly positioned at the vertices of an icosahedron.

Distinctively Delineated Fictional Characters Who Constitute The Story Being Told: Who Are They And Do They Deserve Separate Copyright Protection?, Jasmina D. Zecevic

ExpressO

Literary characters are protected within the copyright of the original work in which they appear, but the law is less clear when a character is separated from the original work and leads an independent life. The two main tests articulated by courts to deal with the phenomenon of an independent character, the “distinctly delineated” and “story being told” tests have not been particularly helpful. The tests are mainly used after a decision has already been reached to give the decision additional validity by uttering the magic words “distinctly delineated” or “story being told”.

A better alternative is to rely on …
