Patterns Of Culture: Re-Aligning Library Culture With User Needs, Nancy Turner

Librarian Publications

Radical changes in technology and information access have given rise to new academic disciplinary connections, new research and teaching practices, and new modes of communication. With the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Syracuse University Library has undertaken a research project to better understand these changes at the University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. We intend to develop an indepth understanding of one multi-disciplinary academic culture and then to examine the library’s culture and work practices to discover where services and resources are meeting needs and where they are not.

While some libraries are purchasing online, most libraries are still having problems acquiring relevant material quickly, especially from foreign sources.

The Information Needs Of Faculty Members In A Nigerian Private University: A Self-Study, Chuma Opara Nnadozie, Chizoba Doris Nnadozie

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Nigeria has had private universities only since 1999. This study seeks information on the information needs of faculty in one of those institutions. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 56 randomly-sampled respondents. The findings show that most (53.6%) depend on library books and other publications to support teaching and research. Journals were the most used documentary sources. A lack of current and relevant materials was identified as the primary impediment to information retrieval.

Adjusting American Indian Treaties: A Guide To Supplemental Article And Supplementary Treaty Citations From Opinions Of The Federal, State, And Territorial Court Systems, Charles D. Bernholz

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

Supplemental articles and supplementary treaties were used as tools to modify American Indian treaties. In general, supplemental articles were adjustments to the parameters of a treaty, frequently made as quickly as the same – or the next – day of negotiations, whereas the task of a supplementary treaty was to affect the conditions created in a previous treaty(s).

As the law of the land, these materials have been referenced in the opinions of the federal, state, and territorial court systems. This article identifies those 80 documents – a combination of 39 initial treaties and their 41 supplements – cited in …
