Creating A Town Library Team: Collaborative Projects Between Public, School, And Academic Librarians, Maureen Rust

Library Scholarship

Library outreach, especially at the public and academic levels, is not a new concept. In the current climate of library budget cuts, instantaneous information, and readily available nonauthoritative sources, librarians, library staff, and library directors are making it a priority to educate their communities on the benefits of and accessibility to quality library resources. Collaboration between different types of libraries is also not uncommon. Partnerships between public and school libraries assist in coordinating information literacy curricula, promoting reading programs and providing access to materials and resources. This article encourages pushing those boundaries even further out to include academic libraries, thereby …

Reliquaires Pervertis. Inscriptions Du Deuil Chez Maupassant, Mirbeau Et Rodenbach, Elizabeth Emery

Department of World Languages and Cultures Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Dans cette étude il est question de la fascination pour les tombes, reliquaires et épitaphes à travers leur représentation dans des textes naturalistes et décadents de la fin du XIXe siècle. Alors qu’on commande de plus en plus de monuments funéraires, surtout dans les années 1880 et 1890, les écrivains tels que Maupassant, Mirbeau et Rodenbach se moquent de leurs inscriptions ; ils privilégient une vision moins historique (celle de l’Histoire, avec un grand H) et plus intime (celle de l’histoire, avec un petit h) de l’épitaphe, la dotant ainsi d’une fonction de moins en moins matérielle et de plus …

User Interface Challenges Of Banking Atm Systems In Nigeria, Felix Chukwuma Aguboshim

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The use of banking automated teller machine (ATM) technological innovations have significant importance and benefits in Nigeria, but numerous investigations have shown that illiterate and semiliterate Nigerians do not perceive them as useful or easy-to-use. Developing easy-to-use banking ATM system interfaces is essential to accommodate over 40% illiterate and semiliterate Nigerians, who are potential users of banking ATM systems. The purpose of this study was to identify strategies software developers of banking ATM systems in Nigeria use to create easy-to-use banking ATM system interfaces for a variety of people with varying abilities and literacy levels.

Effect Of Early Exposure To Technology On Student Satisfaction With Online Education, Mohamed Boudalia

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

U.S. student enrollment in online classes in the higher education sector has grown rapidly since 2001. Researchers have found that student satisfaction often leads to higher student retention, yet more research was needed to understand reasons for student satisfaction with online education. The purpose of this nonexperimental study was to examine the relationship between students' early exposure to technology (i.e., before college) and their satisfaction with online education in college. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology were the theoretical framework. A convenience sample of 103 participants from the population of online students at colleges and universities in …

Introduction: Why Bibliography?, James M. Donovan

Law Faculty Books and Chapters

The occasion of the new volume of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identities, and the Law: A Research Bibliography perhaps leads some to ask, "Why bibliography? in these days of instant and abundant results from keyboard searches on increasingly intelligent computer tools, isn't the print bibliography quaintly old-fashioned?
