The Merchant Of Venice: Schools, Libraries, And Censors, David C. Kupfer

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

For nearly a century, teaching Shakespeare'sThe Merchant of Venice in schools has been questioned, because of perceived religious prejudice . Defenders of Shakespeare are encouraged to fight censorship with a constitutional right to read. Definers of literature are left out when a defense of the play is required. Both potential censor and concerned parent could better observe reasons to protect the play through explanations of its merits presented alongside legal discourse. The school librarian will defend controversial classics more effectively if legal and literary judgments are used together to answer the wrath of the censors.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Research output published in reputable journals remains one of the the main criteria for ranking institutions across the world. Research findings contribute meaningfully to improved products, services, human life, and productivity.

This paper is an empirical study using journals randomly selected from African Journals Online (AJOL). The data were analysed using Cochran's Test and T-test for comparative pair treatments. Findings reveal that there is no significant decline in research output and effectiveness from Nigerian universities, but …

China's Gold Medal Novelists, Andrea Kempf

Library Papers and Presentations

China dazzled the world with Olympic pageantry and athletic prowess; however, an equally inspiring performance has been achieved in the last several years by its creative novelists. In the last two years four exciting novels have appeared in English; three are translations from the Chinese; the fourth was actually written in English. Three of these authors - Mo Yan, Ma Jian, and Wang Anyi - are old enough to have experienced most of the political and social upheavals in their country during the last fifty years. Guo Xiaolu, twenty years younger than the other writers, came of age in a …
