A Framework Of Image Use Among Archaeologists, Architects, Art Historians And Artists, Joan E. Beaudoin

School of Information Sciences Faculty Research Publications

How and why images are used have important implications for the information systems, services and professionals involved in supporting image users. Images, like text, can be used for a number of reasons and these differences will influence fundamental aspects of the information transaction, such as what content is needed, where and how the information is sought, and the specific characteristics of the information that may be required. While research has begun to clarify image retrieval processes, basic issues surrounding how and why visual information is used have gone largely unstudied. This gap in the research led to the current study, …

Public Library Services To Children In Rural Areas, Pearl C. Akanwa

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Two methods were identified in this paper as means of extending library services to children who live in rural areas and they are the mobile library and the branch or rural library.

Population Control In Nigeria: Implications For Librarians, Pearl C. Akanwa, Emmanuel Uwazie Anyanwu, Oyemike Victor Ossai-Onah

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The need for population checks in any country cannot be over-emphasized. This need becomes very important in a country like Nigeria where people depend on speculations for information in all spheres of life. It was reported from the last census that the population of Nigeria is 167 million. This number is alarming in a country which depends on one source of income. The causes of over-population in the country are identified as, cultural beliefs, lack of sex and population education, religious beliefs etc. To avoid the side effects of over-population, which among others are ; mass poverty, increased death rate, …

Censorship And The Challenges Of Library Services Delivery In Nigeria, Japheth A. Yaya Mr

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Abstract

This paper discusses censorship and the challenges of Library services delivery in Nigeria. Librarians, through their professional associations, have long been committed to the social justice principle of free access to information. External censorship challenges to library collections threaten this principle overtly. However, censorship can also occur in libraries in various covert and often unconscious ways. This paper also raises concerns about current librarian practices and library censorship processes which can effectively censor library collections from within. In managing the library and its services, the librarian should promote inclusion and should not discriminate against any library user regardless of …

It’S Only Cheating If You Get Caught: Undergraduate Student Attitudes About Plagiarism, Kelly Giles

Libraries

Responses to a survey of undergraduates in a 100-level course indicate that students understand what plagiarism is and that it is a serious academic offense. However, they are skeptical as to how often plagiarists are caught. Nearly a quarter of respondents admitted that they might plagiarize if pressed for time.

A Hypochondriac Investigates The Evolution Of Medicine, Natalie S. Sherif

Blogging the Library

This exhibit will open to the public in February 2014, but until then I have my work cut out for me. I am currently researching various aspects of medical history spanning from the mid-1800s, through the Civil War, to WWI. Thus far I have read accounts of women volunteers during the American Civil War, important changes that went into effect during WWI, and an overly detailed description on how to perform tooth extractions according to the latest science of the 1860s.

Arizona Public Libraries Serving The Spanish-Speaking: Context For Changes, Denice Adkins, C. Sean Burns

Information Science Faculty Publications

Arizona is at the forefront of Latino population growth and political and racial politics. Three different factors could potentially influence the provision of library service to Latinos in the State of Arizona. These are (1) the growth of the Latino community and the consequent growth of its library needs, (2) the growth of state legislation that is hostile to immigrants and Latinos, and (3) the promotion of a pro-immigrant position by the library profession. This paper compares services to the Spanish-speaking in the State of Arizona from 1999 to 2009 in light of conflicting pro- and anti-immigrant sentiments operating in …
