New roles and opportunities for academic library liaisons: a survey and recommendations
Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 122-128 - 2003
A task force at Rutgers University Libraries was charged with exploring ways to
develop more effective liaison relations with teaching departments. As a
preliminary step the working group surveyed Rutgers liaisons to identify
preferred practices and to solicit comments on trends in liaisonship in academic
libraries. Based on this survey, we examine changes in the information
profession and how the...
The Fugitive Literature of Acid Rain: Making Use of Nonconventional Information Sources in a Vertical File
- 1988
Acid rain was a little‐known issue ten to fifteen years ago. Only a relatively
small group of scientists seeking an explanation for the changes they observed
in the environment were concerned with the problem. Today acid rain is
recognized as an environmental problem of global proportions. Governments at all
levels are moving to develop policies addressing the issue. As the topic has
expanded from...
State of the Art Survey of Reference Materials in Business

review was the recent symposium on economics bibliography held in July 1975
under the auspices of the International Economics Association. It met at the
famous Institut fur Weltwirtschaft, University of Kiel, West Germany. The theme
of the symposium was the “Organization and Retrieval of Economic Knowledge.” The
papers pres...
An evaluation of a training and assistance program for the CD‐ROM Databases: Reflections on the process
Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 41-48 - 1992
Compact disk database systems have been proliferating in libraries for the past
several years. Producers have promoted them as user‐friendly, self‐instructional
systems that require little on‐site assistance for use. Libraries have placed
the systems out for use and have sometimes found this assumption questionable.
Numerous articles have appeared on planning for these new reference tools, but
onl...
OCLC's Interlibrary Loan Subsystem
Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 61-66 - 1981
This essay could begin with a discussion of interlibrary loan procedures before
the existence of OCLC, but it seems preferable not to recount the miseries of
the Dark Ages. Beginning with a discussion of the use of OCLC by interlibrary
loan staff before the availability of the Interlibrary Loan Subsystem should
provide enough history. The background material is followed by an explanation of
the me...
Literary life sciences: A guide to “good” books in biology
- 1995
An average person's memory of the last biology book he or she has read is likely
one of a dry tome lugged back and forth to a high school or college biology
class. “Good books” and “biology” are not naturally linked in people's minds.
This is an unfortunate occurrence, but one that is easily remedied. For anyone
with a little curiosity about biology and a penchant for good books, the
following bib...
Human Rights on the Internet: A Select Bibliography of Web Resources
Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 51-60 - 1997
The regular occurrence of human rights abuses makes timely dissemination of
information imperative. Much as the fax machine alerted those outside China's
borders to its student pro‐democracy movement, the Internet has become a key
instrument of communication to individuals and organizations engaged in more
recent human rights activities. The many organizational, regional, and country
Internet site...

Travels in Referenceland: Computing the Almanac
Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 11-13 - 1985
Anne Grodzins Lipow is a whiz at helping people satisfy needs they never knew
they had. Who would have suspected a market for small wooden dreidls
(first‐of‐a‐kind in California) when she and a partner began to make and sell
these special children's tops a few years ago? Now it is a Berkeley tradition:
just step up to Anne's Berkeley street‐stand during the holiday season to buy
one of these attra...
