The Center For Adventist Research At Andrews University, Merlin D. Burt, Jim Ford, Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

The Center for Adventist Research (CAR), an Andrews University and General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist organization, seeks to promote an understanding and appreciation of the heritage and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA). It combines the resources of the James White Library’s Adventist Heritage Center and the Ellen G. White Estate Branch Office to provide the most extensive collection of Adventist-related resources in the world, both physically and digitally. An introduction to the background, collections, and activities of CAR is presented. Of particular interest are the digitization projects.


Information Literacy "Dispositions" Come To Seminary [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson Feb 2015

Information Literacy "Dispositions" Come To Seminary [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

The most recent iteration of the ACRL Standards for Information Literacy has added “dispositions” to the repertoire of information literacy practice. This poster will explore how these “dispositions” might be understood in Adventist Theological Education. The first iteration of ACRL Standards for Information Literacy was largely instrumental and most instruction was focused on using technology. This development shifts the focus from learning an ICT skill to transformative learning. Information seeking has been transformed from a scarcity model to an abundance model. Adventists are now flooded with information from all sides and from all types of sources. The SDA pastor and …

Seventh-Day Adventist Dissertations And Theses In Religion, Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson, Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

A bibliography of theses and dissertations completed by students at Seventh-day Adventist institutions of Higher Education through 2012. The bibliography is a work in progress, and is not complete. Challenges continue with the representation of non-Roman fonts and diacritics, so authors and titles with these issues may not be listed at this time. It is the goal to include all works in the bibliography.

Adventist Librarianship: Worth Writing About [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson, Lauren Matacio Jul 2014

Adventist Librarianship: Worth Writing About [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson, Lauren Matacio

Terry Dwain Robertson

A Festschrift style publication would provide a venue for SDA Librarians to publish research and develop a body of professional literature that addresses the needs of SDA libraries and librarians. It is proposed because it does not involve specific time dead- lines and allows for short-term commitments for editorial leadership. It is also an accepted method of acknowledging and recognizing esteemed colleagues.


Why Go To The Library? Pedagogical Reflections [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson Feb 2014

Why Go To The Library? Pedagogical Reflections [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

Why should Seminary students “go to the library”? Because of the ubiquity of online resources, it is increasingly possible to complete the degrees without setting foot in the building that is full of books. This is so even though many classes require readings or research papers that anticipate the use of the library. Surprisingly, some assessment feedback from students suggests that this mode of independent text based activity is not necessarily appreciated as time well spent. One proposal for responding to this trend reflects on the question of “time.” Time is a constraint of the human condition. We lack the …

Celebrating Milestones: James White Library's 75th Anniversary [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson, Lauren Matacio, Cynthia Helms

Terry Dwain Robertson

James White Library celebrated its 75th anniversary with a series of activities in the year 2012-2013, starting with the alumni homecoming in 2012 and projecting its capstone event during the alumni homecoming in 2013. The activities focused on how the library, first as a small brick building in 1937 filled with print resources, progressed to its current building with its technological emphasis. Landmarks through the years include the naming of the building in 1937, the construction of a new facility in 1962, the addition in 1976, the replacement of the card catalog with an online catalog in 1992, and the …

Factors Influencing The Use Of Complementary Alternative Methods (Cam) In Patients Attending An Adult Sickle Cell Clinic In Jackson, Mississippi., Wendy E. Thompson Dr, Clifton C. Addison Jan 2013

Factors Influencing The Use Of Complementary Alternative Methods (Cam) In Patients Attending An Adult Sickle Cell Clinic In Jackson, Mississippi., Wendy E. Thompson Dr, Clifton C. Addison

Wendy Thompson

Abstract Background: This study builds on a previous study that examined pediatric patients with sickle cell disease and use of complementary and alternative therapies. The results of the study revealed that the use of CAM therapies is common for children with SCD. Prayer, relaxation techniques, and spiritual healing were the most commonly reported CAM therapies. However, there is a paucity of research studies on CAM use among adult sickle cell patients and the associated factors that predict its use. This research sought to explain the frequency of CAM use and to examine the factors influencing the use of CAM as …


The Postmodern Shift In Library Instruction, Terry Dwain Robertson Jan 2013

The Postmodern Shift In Library Instruction, Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

Fifty years ago, prior to the digital revolution, library instruction consisted of a knowledgeable librarian guiding students through the various classes of documents, with examples of recognized authorities. Each bibliographic tool was handcrafted by competent individuals, published by reputable publishers, and recommended by disciplinary practitioners. While working through these various tools was time consuming, and getting access to materials not held locally often proved slow, the student researcher could reasonably assume the sincerity and integrity of the sources. With the digital revolution, much has changed. Now, instead of bibliographic instruction, librarians engage in “information literacy”(IL) training. Rather than point students …

Sex And Substance Use Within A Prohibitionist University Setting, Herbert Helm, Duane C. Mcbride Jan 2013

Sex And Substance Use Within A Prohibitionist University Setting, Herbert Helm, Duane C. Mcbride

Duane McBride

While risk factors such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and sexual behaviors are often studied among college students, rarely are students at prohibitionist universities studied. The purpose of this paper was to compare the prevalence and trends of substance use of a prohibitionist university to a number of national samples, as well as look at various sexual behaviors of the unmarried participants in the prohibitionist university. For trends in annual alcohol use, our sample had a total average of 42.1% to the comparison samples. For alcohol binge drinking, in the two weeks prior to the survey, our sample had a total …

Parental Influence On Inhalant Use, Alina Baltazar, Gary Hopkins, Duane C. Mcbride, Curt Vanderwaal, Sara Pepper, Sarah Mackey Jan 2013

Parental Influence On Inhalant Use, Alina Baltazar, Gary Hopkins, Duane C. Mcbride, Curt Vanderwaal, Sara Pepper, Sarah Mackey

Duane McBride

The purpose of this article is to examine the dynamics of the relationship between parents and their adolescent children and their association with lifetime and past-month inhalant usage. The population studied was seventh- through ninth-grade students in rural Idaho (N = 570). The authors found a small, but consistent, significant inverse correlation between parental bonding and monitoring of behavior and inhalant usage. There was also a significant positive correlation between verbally aggressive behavior in the family and inhalant use. The data imply that family interaction may play a significant role in the use of inhalants and that the family can …

Evaluating Information In Theological Education: A Framework For Discussion [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson Jun 2012

Evaluating Information In Theological Education: A Framework For Discussion [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

Information literacy as pedagogy targets the novice learner, and provides guidance in evaluating sources. Critical thinking dispositions and hermeneutical considerations are then employed to evaluate the claims. The standard output is some type of communication format which is then evaluated for competence. This pedagogical model works well in those areas of study in which facts are readily verifiable through means consistent with scientism, such as medicine and technology, so as to assume a single correct answer. But in the domain of spiritual knowledge, there is an added complexity: the pluralism embedded in history, culture, confessional commitments, and so forth. How …

E-Texbooks Usage By Students At Andrews University: A Study Of Attitudes, Perceptions, And Behaviors, Silas Bruscagin Marques Dr. Jan 2012

E-Texbooks Usage By Students At Andrews University: A Study Of Attitudes, Perceptions, And Behaviors, Silas Bruscagin Marques Dr.

Silas Bruscagin Marques Dr.

Abstract Although e-books have been incorporated into the academic library’s collection for over a decade now, it has not been, until today, without question. It is still, as the literature reveals, a controversial topic for librarians, publishers, and users around the globe. Although many researches indicate that patrons still prefer the printed format over the electronic version, the tipping point seems to be reaching us earlier then many might think. The growing availability of e-books to users has begun to affect user perceptions and attitudes, creating more access and usage opportunities, a recent research concluded. This paper presents the results …

Benefits, Challenges And Strategies Of Open Access And Repository Implementation In Seventh-Day Adventist University Libraries: An International Perspective, Silas Bruscagin Marques Dr.

Silas Bruscagin Marques Dr.

Open Access and institutional repositories are rapidly making their way into the scientific communication s pipe line. Many universities are implementing their own intellectual production repositories using open access strat egy and technology as a means for maintaining and accessing these archives. With this trend, libraries and researchers have free access to an abundance of subject, institutional and author access points. The literature is becoming robust in presenting the results of research depicting benefits from its use and the challenges libraries face implementing such initiatives. This research investigated 92 university and technological library directors from 66 different countries regarding their …


Evaluating Information In Religious Communication: Information Literacy Applied In A Seminary Course On World Religions, Terry Dwain Robertson May 2011

Evaluating Information In Religious Communication: Information Literacy Applied In A Seminary Course On World Religions, Terry Dwain Robertson

Terry Dwain Robertson

In Library Science, a core pedagogical outcome in higher education is “information literacy.” One component of this competency is the ability to evaluate information. In applying this ability to Seminary education, specifically to student academic writing, I suggest that “information” in theological inquiry is primarily an expression of testimony,” defined as information gained from statements and actions of others rather than from perception, memory or inductive inference. Thus recent discussions of the epistemology of testimony in regards to belief formation are pertinent here they contribute to understanding the dynamics of information exchange during the pedagogical event. In the typical process …
