Examination Of Factors Impacting Student Satisfaction With A New Learning Management System, Lucy Santos Green, Fethi A. Inan, Bree Denton

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to determine factors that influenced student satisfaction with a new learning management system and to identify which of these factors were most important. The data was collected using an an online survey tool that was administered to students enrolled in courses designed and taught by faculty who participated in a pilot group testing a new learning management system (LMS).

Open Access, African Scholarly Publishing, And Cultural Rights: An Exploratory Usage And Accessibility Study, Natalia T. Bowdoin

Faculty Publications

The Open Access (OA) Movement has been praised by proponents as a way to reverse the unsustainability of traditional scholarly publishing economic models and to aid in the equalization of the flow of information between industrialized and less industrialized nations. The OA Movement is thus also seen as a means of helping achieve both Articles 19 and 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which jointly articulate the basic human rights to seek, receive and impart information, to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts, and to share in scientific advancement. Historically however, …

The Kohn-Hennig Library: A Catalog, Stephen G. Hoffius

Caroliniana Library Publications

August Kohn and his daughter Helen Kohn Hennig were two of South Carolina's greatest book collectors. The object of their collecting was South Caroliniana, in all its variety. Their combined library of more than four thousand titles, now a part of the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina, includes novels, short stories, and poetry; biographies, sermons, and military histories; pamphlets, maps, and periodicals; and much more. The collection includes both the exceedingly rare and the too easily overlooked (a rich collection of pamphlets, promotional material, and business histories). No corner of the state is excluded, and no …

La Importancia De La Teoria En El Ambito De La Biblioteconomia, Kim M. Thompson

Faculty Publications

Publicaciones recientes han reconocido la necesidad de más teoría en el campo de la bibliotecología y ciencias de la información; sin embargo ha habido muy poco para fomentar la construcción de teorías u ofrecer orientación en cómo se crea la teoría de la información. Este artículo provee un ejemplo de como se puede utilizar una revisión contemplativa de la investigación existente y de la literatura para desarrollar un modelo teórico de acceso a la información, con el propósito de demostrar como otros pueden tomar pasos similares para mejorar la teoría en el campo de la bibliotecología y ciencias de la …

School Librarians Of The 21st Century: Using Resources And Assistive Technologies To Support Students' Differences And Abilities, Clayton A. Copeland Phd

Faculty Publications

Having a child come into the library--whether on his/her very first visit or one of many visits--means that school librarians have the incredible privilege--and responsibility--to make that child feel welcome and to support his/her learning process in every way they possibly can. Whether a child is officially labeled as being "differently able" (having one or more characteristics that society labels as a disability) or whether he/she is perceived as "typically able," each of the students needs for librarians to be on the cutting edge of information resources and access. Moreover, the students need librarians to help them understand how their …

It Plays Therefore It Is: The Cartesian Problem For Film Preservationists, Greg Wilsbacher

Faculty and Staff Publications

Film archivists are facing a new challenge as we move from digitizing analog video tape to digitizing motion picture film. Specifically, we must ask ourselves whether we want to preserve the moving image as an essence or motion picture film as a material artifact.
