Preserving And Providing Access To Digital State Publications In Alabama: A Case Of Cooperation, Rickey Best
Preserving And Providing Access To Digital State Publications In Alabama: A Case Of Cooperation, Rickey Best
The Southeastern Librarian
As initiatives to achieve a more interactive web-format for government information expand, concerns continue to mount over data security and preservation. While efforts to address these issues are ongoing at the federal level, at the state and local levels there continues to be gaps between state and local agencies creating digital publications and services and ensuring the long-term preservation of those publications. The nature of government information on theWeb also presents challenges. Some information is generated from databases (often federal) which pull together information and make it readily available. Such data, such as the Alabama’s agricultural statistics, are actually derived …

An Innovative Approach For Creating A Self-Guided Video Tour In An Academic Library, John H. Sandy, Mangala Krishnamurthy, Wayne Rau
The Southeastern Librarian
Millions of students visit academic libraries each year, hoping to achieve success in the classroom and make progress with their research. Many of these students need help in navigating the complex services, collections, and facilities of a large academic library. Librarians often respond to this need by offering in-person orientation tours. However, with this approach, library personnel are unable to reach all who need assistance. Furthermore, the schedules of busy students and busy librarians do not always coincide, and students may prefer to learn about the library in a more flexible, self-paced fashion. It’s known that in-person tours are a …

Information Needs In A Hurricane Gustav Evacuation Shelter: Reflections On A Librarian’S Volunteer Experience, Donna Braquet
The Southeastern Librarian
For three years following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, residents of the Gulf Coast enjoyed a reprieve from serious threats.

Opportunities exist to improve information assistance and information dissemination in hurricane shelters. Information professionals can help by conducting research and documenting their experiences in shelters. This article discusses observations of evacuees’ information needs at a Hurricane Gustav shelter in Knoxville, Tennessee, and details the resources and methods …

Gatt/Wto Promotes Trade Strongly: Sample Selection And Model Specification, Xuepeng Liu
Gatt/Wto Promotes Trade Strongly: Sample Selection And Model Specification, Xuepeng Liu
Faculty Articles
Some recent empirical studies examine the impact of the GATT/WTO on trade. This paper investigates the sample selection bias and the gravity model specification issues in the literature. First, the GATT/WTO not only makes existing trading partners trade more at the intensive margin, but also creates new trading relationships at the extensive margin. Most existing papers exclude zero trade observations and hence ignore the extensive margin. Secondly, due to the violation of some maintained assumptions, the traditional log-linear gravity regressions fail to uncover the role of the GATT/WTO even at the intensive margin. Using a large bilateral panel dataset including …
