Building User-Oriented Web Sites For Archives, R Philip Reynolds

Librarian and Staff Publications

For years the banking industry did not consider electronic services for customers as "real" business. Then in 1994, a study entitled "New Paradigms in Retail Banking" by the Bank Administration Institute (BAI) and First Manhattan Consulting Group revealed that more than half of all retail banking transactions occurred by way of an electronic medium. People were no longer going to their branch offices, but conducted business with their phones, PCs, and ATM cards. Suddenly banking executives stopped asking "Why should we offer electronic services?" and started asking "Why aren't we offering electronic services?" This same revolution in thought is inevitable …

Finding Your Genealogical Roots: Research Centers In Springfield Illinois, R Philip Reynolds

Librarian and Staff Publications

As the Capital of Illinois, Springfield is the home of a wide variety of genealogical collections. Illinois land offered as a bounty for service in the war of 1812 Stimulated early settlement. Farmers from overworked Eastern states migrated to the rich prairies of Illinois. Later immigrants from Europe reached Illinois through lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. Following the Civil War, Illinois became the starting point for many in the westward migration.

Visitors to Springfield can find records left by their ancestors whether they setled in Illinois or used it as a jumping off point to the West. Research Facilities …

Working Effectively With International Students At Higher Education Institutions, Majed J. Khader Phd

Librarian Research

Before addressing special characteristics, needs, and problems of international students, I would like to share with you the answer to questions that some people may have in mind. The questions are: Why do some people travel to foreign countries to study? Why do some countries send their young people to study abroad? Don't these countries have universities at home? Isn't it too costly to send students overseas?

Most countries do have universities, often prestigious universities. And it is indeed costly for these countries to send students overseas to study. But the real issue is not money, nor is it the …

Collections At Risk: Revisiting Serial Cancellations In Academic Libraries, Tina E. Chrzastowski, Karen A. Schmidt

Staff publications, research, and presentations

In 1993, Tina E. Chrzastowski and Karen A. Schmidt published a longitudinal study of serial cancellations from five midwestern academic research libraries. 1 The study found that actual title cancellation overlap was small (4.3%), meaning that many unique titles were being cancelled. A profile for an "at-risk" serial title, one most likely to be cancelled, was also determined. The titles most often cancelled were English-language titles in the sciences having a higher-than-average subscription price. The present study builds on the original research, adding two more years of cancellation data as well as serial order data. Results show that the rate …

Theological Librarianship: Toward A Profile Of A Profession, Andrew J. Keck, Rashelle S. Karp

Faculty Publications

Theology touches almost everyone at one time or another. The librarians who maintain, preserve, and disseminate theological information are critical to the perpetuation of theological study and enlightenment. However, the literature of librarianship is strangely silent on the topic of theological librarianship and especially on issues that are unique to theological librarians--those who work with theologically or religiously focused collections or libraries that support the education and training of people preparing for the ministry.

Postings On A Genre Of E-Mail, Michael Spooner, Kathleen Yancey

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

I was talking with a novelist recently about various kinds of writing-nothing special, just happy-hour talk-and I found my earnest self assuring him that, oh yes, academic writing nowadays will tolerate a number of different styles and voices. (I should know, right? I'm in academic publishing.) He choked; he slapped my arm; he laughed out loud. I don't remember if he spit his drink back in the glass. Silly me, I was serious. And, among other things, I was thinking about this essay/dialogue, in which we're turning discourse conventions of the net - often a rather casual medium - to …
