A Biblical View Of Library Administration, John Allen Delivuk

The Christian Librarian

While individuals sometimes do worthwhile tasks working by themselves, most of the work of modern civilization is done by people working together in groups. Groups require administration. This essay examines some aspects of the role of administration and administrators in libraries from a biblical point of view.

Librarians Across The Sea: Acl And Missions, Wilbur E. Cropley

The Christian Librarian

The Association of Christian Librarians (ACL) is missions-hearted, missions-minded, and missions-handled. This stance was vital to the founders. It is also vital for the calling and ministry of the present membership. We shall expand and illustrate these statements. The past, present development, and future will be covered.

The Y Factor, J. Ray Doerksen

The Christian Librarian

Since God was able to get creation (not a small job) finished in six days, why do Christians need seven days to get their work done?

I posed a question to the ACL listserv: If your library is open on Sunday, why? My question was meant to elicit reasons, or justifications, from those who choose to open on Sunday. A number of thoughtful responses returned. It is clear that many librarians struggle with this issue, both on a personal and professional level. Some have solved the problem to their satisfaction; others have assumed a pragmatic stance - they do what …

Coping Styles Of African American Women Who Have Or Have Not Experienced Physical Abuse, Pamela L. Huntspon

They were administered the Coping Responses Inventory (Actual Form) and a demographic questionnaire.

Scholarship Unbound: Assessing Service As Scholarship In Promotion And Tenure Decisions, Kerryann O’Meara

New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications

Scholars of higher education have long recognized that existing reward systems and structures in academic communities do not weight faculty professional service as they do teaching and research. This paper examines how four colleges and universities with exemplary programs for assessing service as scholarship implemented these policies within colleges of education. Case studies suggest that policies to assess service as scholarship can increase consistency among an institution’s service mission, faculty workload, and reward system; expand faculty’s views of scholarship; boost faculty satisfaction; and strengthen the quality of an institution’s service culture.

Vocational Rehabilitation Outcomes For People With Mental Retardation, Cerebral Palsy, And Epilepsy: An Analysis Of Trends From 1985 To 1998, Dana Scott Gilmore, Jennifer Schuster, John Butterworth

All Institute for Community Inclusion Publications

This monograph presents the results of secondary analysis of the RSA-911 database from the Rehabilitation Services Administration. All successful VR closures for individuals with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy for six data points between 1985 and 1998 were investigated. Trends in competitive labor market and extended employment (sheltered workshops) closures were examined. The use of supported employment in the VR system and its outcomes were also discussed. Findings include increased incidence of competitive labor market closures and supported employment services, with a decrease in extended employment closures.

Comparisons of successful VR closure outcomes to trends in the general labor …

Characteristics Of Effective Employment Services: The Consumers’ Perspective, Jaimie Ciulla Timmons, Jennifer Schuster, Doris Hamner, Jennifer Bose

All Institute for Community Inclusion Publications

This monograph reports on a study investigating the characteristics of effective state service systems. Findings are based on the experiences of individuals with disabilities who have used a state agency (Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Mental Retardation, Department of Mental Health, or One Stop Center) to find employment. Interviews were conducted to examine individuals' experiences with employment services including job search, job entry, strategies that facilitated involvement, supports provided, and barriers experienced. Findings indicated five key components to effective service delivery, including agency culture, consumer-directedness, access to resources, quality personnel, and coordinated services. Obstacles faced during the employment process and personal …

Economic Currents: The State Of The State Economy, Alan Clayton-Matthews

Public Policy and Public Affairs Faculty Publication Series

While the state’s economy is still growing, albeit at a much slower rate than in the 1990s, there is a risk of a serious deceleration of economic activity. The evidence we have still favors a “soft landing” for the economy, but the risks of recession appear to have risen substantially.

The Christian Librarian

As I write, jackhammers are pounding above my office. Water leaks have been pouring in on our book stacks. Dust and debris litter the hallways outside the library. Anyone who has endured a home renovation or library expansion project may relate to this chaos and upheaval.

Excerpt from the book chapter: "Early on a weekday morning in Ankara, people hurry to work as the usual urban scene repeats itself.

She is rushing to prepare her children for school and get herself and her husband ready for the workday ahead. She helps her husband find his blue-and-yellow striped tie while waiting for her crimson nail polish to dry so she can comb her daughter’s hair. At the same time, in the basement of the apartment building, another woman also prepares for the …

For those of us serving in the academic community a new year has just begun - the fall semester or quarter is upon us. Students have returned to campus and summer-quiet library halls are now ringing with stage "whispers," book drops filling with materials rediscovered on unpacking day.
