A Qualitative Coded Analysis Of Undergraduate And Graduate Student Library Instruction Feedback, Tina Budzise-Weaver, Susan P. Goodwin, Michael L. Maciel

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Student Feedback has become increasingly important as libraries tailor their services to the customer.

Property And Political Community: Democracy, Oligarchy, And The Case Of Ukraine, Monica E. Eppinger

All Faculty Scholarship

Fieldwork in Ukraine, where Western privatization advice was followed at a time of founding a new polity, provides data to compare predictions with outcomes. Two unexpected figures -- the Oligarch and …

After 25 years, several dynamics still challenge this large public health campaign with new cases of polio being reported annually. We examine the roots of this initiative to eradicate polio, its scope, the successes and setbacks during the last 25 years and reflect on the current state of affairs. We examine the social and political factors that are barriers to polio eradication. Options are discussed for solving the current impasse of polio eradication: using force, respecting individual freedoms and gaining …
