No Longer The Sacred Cow – No Longer A Desk: Transforming Reference Service To Meet 21st Century User Needs, Gabriela Sonntag, Felicia Palsson Feb 2007

No Longer The Sacred Cow – No Longer A Desk: Transforming Reference Service To Meet 21st Century User Needs, Gabriela Sonntag, Felicia Palsson

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The reference desk is no longer an essential component of the work of academic librarians. Instruction programs are becoming stronger and more pervasive; librarians are increasing their contact with students and faculty in course-related interactions. We recognize that Google has become the primary resource for quick reference answers with students, faculty and with librarians. Students are indeed becoming more independent, as evidenced by declining reference statistics across the nation. But how are students' research needs met? Are we abandoning them altogether? At the California State University San Marcos, reference services with strong ties to the Information Literacy Program incorporate technology …


Kidnap Or Molest A Child, Go To Jail Forever; Kill A Child, Face Execution!, Gil Villagran Feb 2007

Kidnap Or Molest A Child, Go To Jail Forever; Kill A Child, Face Execution!, Gil Villagran

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The Missouri kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck, an eleven-year-old at the time of his abduction in 2002, and the subsequent kidnapping of Ben Ownby, age 13, one month ago by the same 41-year-old abductor must alert us all to the harsh reality of child abduction, child molest, and child murder.  While most children live safely in their homes with their loving families,  too many children do not reach adulthood without traumatic abuse and its lifelong consequences.

Agricultural Knowledge Transfer In India: A Study Of Prevailing Communication Channels, I. V. Malhan, Shivarama Rao

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Abstract: The nature of agricultural research institutions and activities considerably influence the agriculture information sector in India. This paper describes the development of the agricultural sector in India and provides a comprehensive review of channels of agricultural knowledge transfer in India, including community projects, extension services, government initiatives, agriclinics, networks, and the role of non-governmental organizations and libraries. The paper concludes with the need for integration and consolidation of existing efforts for knowledge transfer from lab to land, and highlights the requirement of setting up a universal agricultural digital library, including content on all areas of agriculture.

“Those Who Cannot Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It"/"Los Que No Pueden Aprender De La Historia Son Condenados Para Repetirla.", Gil Villagran Jan 2007

“Those Who Cannot Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It"/"Los Que No Pueden Aprender De La Historia Son Condenados Para Repetirla.", Gil Villagran

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The early 1900s Spanish philosopher, Harvard graduate and professor George Santayana wisely coined this often quoted proverb:  “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it,”  as he reflected on World War I,  the “war to end all wars;”  a war of choice whose peace treaty led to World War II just 21 years later with twice the deaths at 50 million.  Then came Korea, Vietnam, the killing fields of Cambodia, civil wars and death squads in Latin America, ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, a frenzy of ethnic killing in Rwanda, and countless brutalities in countless locations. …

Self-Archiving And The Copyright Transfer Agreements Of Isi-Ranked Library And Information Science Journals, Anita Coleman Jan 2007

Self-Archiving And The Copyright Transfer Agreements Of Isi-Ranked Library And Information Science Journals, Anita Coleman

Faculty Publications

A study of Thomson-Scientific ISI ranked Library and Information Science (LIS) journals (n = 52) is reported. The study examined the stances of publishers as expressed in the Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTAs) of the journals toward self-archiving, the practice of depositing digital copies of one's works in an Open Archives Initiative (OAI)-compliant open access repository. Sixty-two percent (32) do not make their CTAs available on the open Web; 38% (20) do. Of the 38% that do make CTAs available, two are open access journals. Of the 62% that do not have a publicly available CTA, 40% are silent about self-archiving. …
