October 2025 Table Of Contents Newsletter - Open Access Week, Victoria Peters

Table of Contents Newsletter

Join Victoria Peters (Scholarly Communication and Resource Services Librarian) in discussing Open Access at DePauw Tuesday, Oct. 21 - 11:30am in the Wood Study (Roy O. West Library). Open Access Week’s theme seeks to encourage a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not. By situating our campus OA history within the broader movement, this session will help faculty understand the ethical and practical implications of open access, see how institutional policies support their work, and identify opportunities to contribute to a more equitable scholarly ecosystem.

What’S In A Name? Re-Evaluating Early Medical Library Leaders In A Modern Context, Jennifer K. Lloyd

Library Faculty Publications

This paper will highlight two early medical librarians, Mary Louise Marshall (1893-1986) and William D. Postell, Sr (1908-1982) who were in our chapter’s region, although during their careers, SCC did not exist. While we cannot expect that historical figures have the same knowledge and values as our contemporary colleagues, we can evaluate their writings to see what internal biases were present.

Critically reappraising the work of our predecessors can be a difficult task, especially if these individuals were held in high esteem, won national awards and published important papers about medical librarianship. However, as theories are repudiated, re-evaluation is key. …

The Anchor: October 2025, Hope College

The Anchor: 2025

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

Development Of A Lightweight Dataset Catalog With Digital Commons, Claire Warner, Amy Reese, Marla Hertz

Libraries Professional Work

Many academic libraries maintain dataset catalogs to make the research data produced by their institutions more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). These catalogs use a variety of approaches to gather metadata for dataset records and may be hosted on one of several platforms. Our approach is to develop Python code and leverage APIs to locate relevant datasets, then harvest and clean the associated metadata. The cleaned metadata is manually curated and enhanced before being added to the Dataset Catalog. We employ the hosted institutional repository Digital Commons to display the dataset records. Combining API harvesting and automated data cleaning …

Beyond The Call Of Duty: Exploring The Prevalence And Consequences Of Self-Sacrifice By Academic Library Leaders, Kate Tallman, Susan R. Franzen

Faculty and Staff Publications – Milner Library

In the face of limited resources and increasing demand, academic library supervisors often  sacrifice their own time and energy to support employees’ well-being. Self-sacrificial  behavior includes taking on additional responsibilities, being especially “visible” during  crises, and supporting the emotional, physical, or financial needs of employees. Most research on self-sacrificial leadership highlights its positive impact on organizational  culture. But how does it impact library leaders’ mental health, job satisfaction, and/or  attrition? This presentation explores self-sacrificial behavior and concludes with a  discussion of strategies to reset the balance when leaders find themselves going above  and beyond at their own expense.

Self-Sacrifice In Academic Library Leadership, Kate Tallman, Susan R. Franzen

Faculty and Staff Publications – Milner Library

Many leaders are inclined to sacrifice their own time, focus, and emotional well-being for the benefit of their colleagues and institutions, particularly in times of social, financial, and political uncertainty. This poster presents the preliminary results of a nationwide survey on self-sacrifice among academic library leaders. The goal of this research is to quantify the phenomenon of self-sacrifice to better understand how this behavior manifests and address the potential harms that it can cause.  Based on literature and survey data, the researchers present their initial recommendations for mitigating self-sacrificial behavior as a way to encourage retention within academic library leadership …

Studying Topic Evolution Based On Bertopic Model And Semantic Function, Jiabin Qu, Mengyang Wang

Journal of Scientific Information Research

[Purpose/significance] Topic evolution analysis can help researchers quickly grasp the research hotspots and development trends of a discipline. However, existing topic models often overlook the semantic functions and structures of texts during topic extraction, making it difficult to reveal the deeper patterns of disciplinary development. This paper proposes an integrated framework for topic evolution analysis that combines the BERTopic model with semantic functions, aiming to enrich and improve the methodological system of topic evolution research.

[Method/process] Firstly, the BERTopic model is used to extract topics, obtaining the“Topic-Word”distribution. Next, a discourse parsing tool analyzes abstracts into five semantic function segments, resulting …
