Yizkor Books As Holocaust Grey Literature, Gretta E. Siegel, Faith Jones

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

Yizkor is a Hebrew word meaning 'you will remember', and Yizkor books are books that commemorate the vanished communities destroyed by the Holocaust. As the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the German concentration camps is commemorated this year, it seems fitting, with this conference being held in Europe, to call attention to this unique and interesting body of literature.

Yizkor books present an historic but interesting type of grey literature, with significant modern day interest. While the Yizkor Book had its origins in the 13th century, it reemerged early in the 20th Century as a tool for documenting the …

A Cooperative Publishing Model For Sustainable Scholarship, Robert Schroeder, Gretta E. Siegel

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

Organizing scholarly publishing as a cooperative business has the promise of making journals more affordable and scholarly publishing more sustainable. The authors describe the development of the modern cooperative from its beginnings in England during the Industrial Revolution and highlight the great extent and diversity of business worldwide that is currently done cooperatively. Some of the current initiatives in scholarly publishing (SPARC, PLoS, German Academic Publishing, etc.) are analysed in light of cooperative business principles, and it is shown that, while these models often partially utilize cooperative business practices, none of them has adopted the cooperative model in totality.

A Tale Of Two Conferences – Cuba Style, Gretta E. Siegel

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

The past few years have seen a marked increase in the level of interest about libraries in Cuba. Twelve years ago, a rare glimpse was given in an American Libraries article which piqued some peoples interest, but travel restrictions at that time left many interested in visiting but having no way to do so. However, a relaxing of travel restrictions under the Clinton administration permitted "people to people" and cultural exchanges, thus allowing more people to get a look at this country through formal tours. Several successful library tours were organized and led by people such as Rhonda Neugebauer from …

The Crisis Of Scientific Information Dissemination In North America, Gretta E. Siegel

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

Today, I wish to speak a little bit about my observations and concerns about what is happening in North America and in Europe in the area of scientific publishing. Part of my talk will touch upon economic and political environments as well, so a few disclaimers are needed: I am not an economist, I am not a political scientist, and I am not a publisher. I used to be a scientist, but I am not one now. I am a librarian, and my remarks are based on 17 years of observation and experience as a librarian. However, libraries exist in …

Faculty And Student Attitudes Toward Credit Courses For Library Skills, Jeanne R. Davidson

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

Faculty, student, and library staff attitudes toward credit courses, as well as various other instructional methods, for teaching library and research skills were assessed. A surprising number of faculty and students did not know about the courses offered. Although other methods, such as Web tutorials and written guides, are preferred, credit courses may still be considered a viable option. To be successful, the courses must be well marketed to both faculty and students, and their importance and content must be clearly understood by faculty advisors.
