Building Kentucky Collections With Worldcat, Carol Watwood

DLPS Faculty Publications

As the world’s largest bibliographic database, OCLC’s WorldCat is well known for its uses in cataloging and interlibrary loans.

The FirstSearch interface, available throughout Kentucky, is a user-friendly and useful interface for identifying relevant materials for a library’s collection.

Teen Health Web Sites, Carol Watwood

DLPS Faculty Publications

Teens, like other age groups, often use the World Wide Web to search for health information. The health-related needs and interests of teens differ somewhat from other age groups.

Factor Analysis Of The Personal Profile System, Thomas G. Henkel, James Noel Wilmoth

Variation In Human Capacities, Flaucy Ives

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Individuals of the same age vary widely in every trait that has been measured or estimated. They differ in height, weight, character, taste, intellect, strength or in other words, in all things

Every human being is endowed with the same reflexes, instincts and capacities, each individual has powers of perception, discrimination attentiveness, retentiveness, reasoning etc., and as a result each has the same general qualitative make-up.
