Incorporating Policymaker Costs And Political Competition Into Rent-Seeking Games, R. Kenneth Godwin, Edward J. Lopez, Barry J. Seldon Jul 2006

Incorporating Policymaker Costs And Political Competition Into Rent-Seeking Games, R. Kenneth Godwin, Edward J. Lopez, Barry J. Seldon

We incorporate policymaker costs of supplying rents and variable intensities of competition among rent seekers into the standard rent-seeking game. By incorporating these aspects, the game has greater verisimilitude to the lobbying process. The first aspect captures the fact that in rent-seeking contests there is a positive probability that neither firm will obtain the rent. The second aspect captures the fact that firms seeking different rents still must compete for policymakers' resources. We find that lobbying expenditures, rent-seeking profits, and rent dissipation depend on the intensity of competition and the value of the rent relative to policymaker costs. For example, …

The Impact Of Self-Efficacy And Prior Computer Experience On The Creativity Of New Librarians In Selected Universities Libraries In Southwest Nigeria, Adeyinka Tella, C. O. Ayeni Apr 2006

The Impact Of Self-Efficacy And Prior Computer Experience On The Creativity Of New Librarians In Selected Universities Libraries In Southwest Nigeria, Adeyinka Tella, C. O. Ayeni

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

A study examined the impact of self-efficacy and prior computer experience on the creativity of the freshly-recruited librarians in selected southwest Nigeria universities’ libraries. Fifty-two new librarians who were selected through total enumeration sampling technique represent the population of the study. Both the independent and the dependent variables were measured with relevant standardized instruments. Three research questions were developed and answered in the study. The results showed that both self-efficacy and computer experience influenced creativity


Alternative Models Of Knowledge Production: A Step Forward In Information Literacy As A Liberal Art, Shilpa Shanbhag Apr 2006

Alternative Models Of Knowledge Production: A Step Forward In Information Literacy As A Liberal Art, Shilpa Shanbhag

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Information literacy is embedded within the traditional disciplinary model of knowledge production wherein the role of the scholar/expert and the process of peer-review are emphasized. Exclusive reference to this model is inadequate in informing the production of knowledge outside of formal academic setting and consequently inadequate in supporting the objectives of liberal learning. Shapiro and Hughes' concept of information literacy as a liberal art provides a useful framework for discussion on alternative models of knowledge production.


Customizing And Using A Popular Online Information Literacy Tutorial: One Library’S Experience, Robert Flatley, William Jefferson Apr 2006

Customizing And Using A Popular Online Information Literacy Tutorial: One Library’S Experience, Robert Flatley, William Jefferson

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

To teach information literacy, many colleges and universities use a version of TILT (the Texas Information Tutorial) or Searchpath, a modification of TILT by Western Michigan University. This paper describes our experience customizing Searchpath for Kutztown University’s Rohrbach Library, including the impetus behind the project, the process of customizing Searchpath, the project pilot, collaborative efforts, and challenges encountered. The authors also discuss the decision to select Searchpath rather than TILT, how Kutztown’s version of tutorial is currently being used, and future plans for the product, along with suggestions to those considering Searchpath for their libraries.

The Equilateral Triangle Paradigm: A Mathematical Interpretation Of The Theory Of Tertiary Sources On The World Wide Web, Dariush Alimohammadi

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Information science concepts can be enhanced by mathematical approaches. A mathematical interpretation of the theory of tertiary sources on the Web was developed, using figure-oriented and formula-based approaches.The most ideal form of the triangle of information resources is equilateral, with the sides representing primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of information on the Web.


On Not Revising The Ala Code Of Ethics: An Alternate Proposal, John Buschman Apr 2006

On Not Revising The Ala Code Of Ethics: An Alternate Proposal, John Buschman

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The American Library Association (ALA) is undertaking a revision of its code of ethics. The author propo ses and discusses three reasons not to revise the code. The reasons are that there is already a set of interlocking policies on ethics and related issues; that ALA leadership has taken the most conservative possible approach to ethics policy - and especially the connection between librarians' professional responsibilities and rights; and that when policies are amended, they are not always improved, and those on the books are often ignored. The author considers and discusses likely objections to his proposal.
