Analysis Of Library Book Borrower Patterns Using Apriori Association Data Mining Techniques, Lucky Zamzami, Ari Agung Prastowo, R Rulinawaty, Robbi Rahim

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The Scholarly Communication Assessment Forum (SCAF) was planned to be held on the Sacramento State campus on May 4 & 5, 2020.

Within this presentation, we will share an assessment rubric created to …

Biblioteca Se Sentanemililis. La Experiencia De Una Biblioteca Comunitaria Desde Las Voces De Sus Actores, Guadalupe López Hernández

Revista Electrónica Leer, Escribir y Descubrir

El presente artículo comparte el proyecto de una biblioteca comunitaria, ubicada en una comunidad rural e indígena de México, desde las voces de quienes la idearon y construyeron; de los niños que la frecuentan y de los jóvenes responsables de atenderla. La historia “única” de la lectura que prevalece en el discurso hegemónico es la de una actividad escolar o de intelectuales, recientemente de actores o deportistas. Sin embargo, las prácticas de lectura son muchas y muy variadas, pero los discursos oficiales han legitimado solo algunas, invisibilizado otras que no son menos valiosas o legítimas y han creado falsas imágenes …
