A Framework Of Cooperation Between Academic Staff And Library Staff For A Meaningful University Education For Students, Ushe Arua
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
There is a need for effective cooperation between the teacher and the library staff, if the students are to be given quality and meaningful university education. By training, attitude, orientation, function, and commitment, the librarian is a teacher in any academic setting. Librarians' responsibilities extend far beyond organizing and maintaining library collections. Their major responsibility is to carry out the educational function of the parent institution. This article explores the role of librarians and suggests ways to strengthen cooperation between librarians and teachers.
The Social Construction Of Infertility, Arthur L. Greil, Julia Mcquillan, Kathleen S. Slauson-Blevins
The Social Construction Of Infertility, Arthur L. Greil, Julia Mcquillan, Kathleen S. Slauson-Blevins
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
Health and illness are not objective states but socially constructed categories. We focus here on infertility, a phenomenon that has shifted from being seen as a private problem of couples to being seen as a medical condition. Studying infertility provides an ideal vantage point from which to study such features of health care as inter-societal and cross-cultural disparities in health care, the relationship between identity and health, gender roles, and social and cultural variations in the process of medicalization. Infertility is stratified, both globally and within Western societies. Access to care is extremely limited for many women in developing societies …
Embedded Foundations: Advancing Community Change And Empowerment, Paula Allen-Meares, Larry Gant, Trina Shanks
Embedded Foundations: Advancing Community Change And Empowerment, Paula Allen-Meares, Larry Gant, Trina Shanks
The Foundation Review
· Embedded funders are foundations that have made long-term commitments to the communities in which they are located or work.
· Foundations have a long history in funding community development, often with few concrete results.
· Political conditions, the increasing divide between rich and poor, inaccessibility of education, lack of housing, and continued segregation and racial discrimination are issues that need be addressed concurrently and resources need to be drawn from a variety of sources, particularly the neighborhoods themselves. This complexity has created an impetus for embedded philanthropy.
· Embedded funders work participatively with the community and frame evaluations in …
Is The Policy Win All? A Framework For Effective Social-Justice Advocacy, Barbara Klugman
Is The Policy Win All? A Framework For Effective Social-Justice Advocacy, Barbara Klugman
The Foundation Review
· This article offers a theory-of-change framework to help those engaged in social-justice advocacy to reflect on whether social-justice values are being retained in the process.
· A reproductive rights effort in South Africa provides an example of how social justice values can be lost in the advocacy process.
· The failure to sustain work on the ground pointed to the need to maintain a base of support even after a policy victory.
· Strategies must be revisited as social and political contexts change.
· One of the critical social-justice values that supports the establishment and maintenance of alliances is …

Use Of Layering For Effective Partnership Building: Leveraging Positive Impact In Education Philanthropy, Angela Kremers
Use Of Layering For Effective Partnership Building: Leveraging Positive Impact In Education Philanthropy, Angela Kremers
The Foundation Review
· Federal initiatives provide opportunities to link national, state, and local partnerships.
· New opportunities create a challenge of how to maximize mission-related goals while also seeking out new partnerships.
· “Layering” allows core foundation goals to be addressed while further examining how building new partnerships can expand with national and federal opportunities.
· Each “layer” represents multiple sector partnerships at the local, state, federal, and national levels.
· Layering differs from collective impact in its focus on strategic alignment with existing work to new partners versus the focus on the partnerships and organizational behavior of those relationships.
· Building …
Modeling Lis Students' Intention To Adopt E-Learning: A Case From University Of Nigeria, Nsukka, Helen Nneka Eke
Modeling Lis Students' Intention To Adopt E-Learning: A Case From University Of Nigeria, Nsukka, Helen Nneka Eke
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
E-learning is one of the emerging issues in LIS education in Nigeria and students in the LIS profession have been adopting some of these technologies in enhancing their professional skills. E-learning is becoming increasingly prominent in higher education, with Universities increasing provision and more students signing up. In University of Nigeria, E-learning is at its infant stage, though a good number of the students have been introduced to it, and some of the students have already started using it for some courses. This paper examines factors that predict UNN LIS students’ intention to adopt e-learning. Understanding the nature of these …
An Assessment Of Public Library Services In North Eastern Nigeria, Adam Gambo Saleh, Fatima Ibrahim Lasisi
An Assessment Of Public Library Services In North Eastern Nigeria, Adam Gambo Saleh, Fatima Ibrahim Lasisi
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
North Eastern Nigeria, formally one political state, is now made up of six autonomous states. Government efforts to coordinate library service in Nigeria as exemplified by the commissioning of two expert studies variously led by F. A. Sharr (1963) and R. L. Pearce (1968), were thwarted by the incessant political fragmentation of the Country into autonomous states, resulting in the emergence of inefficient and ineffective public libraries. With the achievement of political stability of some sort, in the last ten years as a result of the institutionalization of democracy, the question is has the situation changed? Are public libraries in …
The Real-Time Evaluation Memo: A Tool For Enabling Evaluative Thinking And Learning In Foundations And Nonprofits, Melanie Hwalek, Mary Grcich Williams
The Real-Time Evaluation Memo: A Tool For Enabling Evaluative Thinking And Learning In Foundations And Nonprofits, Melanie Hwalek, Mary Grcich Williams
The Foundation Review
· Real-time evaluation memos provide data-based feedback in a timely manner to inform decision making.
· Memos must be concise and include both data and expert synthesis and interpretation.
· The foundation must have a learning culture if the memos are to most useful; there must be time to reflect on the content and implications.
· The balance between data quality and timeliness must be managed and will be dependent on the topic.
· While useful for program management, these memos do not provide the kind of summative information that board members and other stakeholders may require.
The Trenton Afterschool Partnership: Expanding Learning Time Citywide Through Public/Private Collaboration, Mark Valli, Catrin Davies, Traci Scott, Mikaela Levons
The Trenton Afterschool Partnership: Expanding Learning Time Citywide Through Public/Private Collaboration, Mark Valli, Catrin Davies, Traci Scott, Mikaela Levons
The Foundation Review
· High quality after-school programs have been demonstrated to have significant impact on student performance.
· Preceding the Trenton Afterschool Partnership (TAP) was a hodgepodge of programs that cost various contributors about $9 million. These programs, of unequal quality, served about 1,500 students in 15 out of Trenton’s 21 public schools.
· TAP (which includes the Princeton Area Community Foundation) was able to successfully implement programs in all of the Trenton schools.
· Budget cuts have forced the reduction of the programs, but about half of the schools have been able to maintain programs.
· Foundations are encouraged to support …
I'M Not Rockefeller: Implications For Major Foundations Seeking To Engage Ultra- High-Net-Worth Donors, Katherina M. Rosqueta, Kathleen Noonan, Miriam Shark
I'M Not Rockefeller: Implications For Major Foundations Seeking To Engage Ultra- High-Net-Worth Donors, Katherina M. Rosqueta, Kathleen Noonan, Miriam Shark
The Foundation Review
· This article describes how a group of 33 ultrahigh- net-worth philanthropists (UHNWPs) approach their giving.
· A few key areas dominated their giving priorities: education; health; poverty and social welfare; and children/youth initiatives each were a priority for more than a quarter of participants – with education expressed as an interest of 55 percent.
· A third of the 24 who responded to the question spent less than 10 percent of their full working time devoted to philanthropy, and 13 dedicated less than 20 percent of their working time.
· UHNWPs view their peers as their most trusted information …
The Potential And Possibilities For Utilizing Geographic Information Systems To Inform School Library As Place, Melissa P. Johnston, Bradley Wade Bishop
The Potential And Possibilities For Utilizing Geographic Information Systems To Inform School Library As Place, Melissa P. Johnston, Bradley Wade Bishop
Information Science Faculty Publications
Teacher librarians often consider their students and the internal school environment in planning programs and services but ignore the larger community from which learners originate. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the ongoing discussions related to the school library in the community context and provide implications for utilizing geographic information systems (GIS) to inform the idea of the “school library as place.” This preliminary exploration, a thematic literature review, indicated multiple possibilities for implementing GIS in school libraries that may enable teacher librarians to better facilitate students’ development of a sense of place, support their …
The Border Mural In The Electronic Age: Xican@ Literacy As Rhetorical Agency, José Angel Maldonado
The Border Mural In The Electronic Age: Xican@ Literacy As Rhetorical Agency, José Angel Maldonado
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The Border Mural in the Electronic Age is a project that responds to blanket statements, not only about a people's literacy (or illiteracy), but to the ways in which we define and measure literacy in the electronic age. In this study, literacy is located on the US-México border, and this specific location serves as the social, political, and economic grounds on which to study the types of literacies used by the local population. A cultural ecology approach is necessary when studying niche literacies, and in today's world, traditional literacies coexist among emergent forms of literacy most likely attributed to technological …

Choque Cultural In Higher Education: The Lived Experiences Of Two Transnational Doctoral Students On The U.S. Mexico Border, Lyn Mckinley
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
This study seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of transnational students in higher education in a U.S. public university. The setting for the study is the U.S.-Mexico border between Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. While numerous studies examine the experience of transnational K-12 populations in U.S. schools, there is limited research on students in advanced levels of higher education in this context.
The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth perspective of the experiences of two transnational doctoral students enrolled at the doctoral level at a U.S. university on the U.S.-Mexico border. The …
Carbon Sequestration And Permit Trading On The Competitive Fringe, Arthur J. Caplan
Carbon Sequestration And Permit Trading On The Competitive Fringe, Arthur J. Caplan
Applied Economics Faculty Publications
This paper makes two contributions to the carbon-sequestration literature. The first is the development of a theoretical framework in which sequestration and permit trading are analyzed jointly in the context of a competitive fringe model. The second is a numerical analysis demonstrating the role market structure, or market power, might play in the determination of an equilibrium sequestration allocation and carbon price. We present three comparative-static cases, the first two of which assess the impact of relative changes in the cost structures of the dominant firm and competitive fringe. For these two cases we find that the equilibrium allocation of …
Foreign Direct Investment, Non-Traded Goods And Real Wages, Reza Oladi, John Gilbert, H. Beladi
Foreign Direct Investment, Non-Traded Goods And Real Wages, Reza Oladi, John Gilbert, H. Beladi
Applied Economics Faculty Publications
Using a three‐sector general equilibrium model with non‐traded goods, we investigate the impact of foreign direct investment on the real wages of skilled and unskilled workers. We show that foreign direct investment increases the real wages of skilled and unskilled workers alike, but widens the gap between the two under plausible conditions.
Advertising Media Selection, Lawrence Soley
Advertising Media Selection, Lawrence Soley
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Advertising media planning is part of the media planning process. It consists of selecting the appropriate media and vehicles that will carry the campaign advertisements. The decision making involved in media planning is quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative decisions include analyzing the vehicles' delivery to the target market and determining the cost efficiency of particular media and vehicles. Qualitative decisions include looking at the appropriateness of a vehicle's editorial environment for the product being advertised, and the attentiveness of prospects to that vehicle.

Summative Confidence, Paul Cristian Gugiu
Summative Confidence, Paul Cristian Gugiu
Dissertations
Often the singular goal of an evaluation is to render a summative conclusion of merit, worth or feasibility that is based on multiple streams of multidimensional data. Exacerbating this difficulty, conducting evaluations in real-world settings often necessitates implementation of less than ideal study designs. This reality gets further complicated by the standard method for estimating the precision of results via the confidence interval (CI). Traditional CIs offer a limited approach for understanding the precision of a summative conclusion. This dissertation develops and presents a unified approach for the construction of a CI for a summative conclusion (SC).
This study derived …

Coalitions And Cliques In The School Choice Problem, Sinan Aksoy, Alexander Adam Azzam, Chaya Coppersmith, Julie Glass, Gizem Karaali, Xueying Zhao, Xinjing Zhu
Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
The school choice mechanism design problem focuses on assignment mechanisms matching students to public schools in a given school district. The well-known Gale Shapley Student Optimal Stable Matching Mechanism (SOSM) is the most efficient stable mechanism proposed so far as a solution to this problem. However its inefficiency is well-documented, and recently the Efficiency Adjusted Deferred Acceptance Mechanism (EADAM) was proposed as a remedy for this weakness. In this note we describe two related adjustments to SOSM with the intention to address the same inefficiency issue. In one we create possibly artificial coalitions among students where some students modify their …

Regulating Social Media Use In The Workplace, Yemisi Dina
Editorials and Commentaries
The advent of social networking sites (SNS) has become a reality of the digital age. These sites are highly interactive, creative and addictive for individuals to exchange personal, professional and social ideas but its use has also been the subject of litigation in the courts lately just like any man made invention. People using these sites have sparked a number of legal challenges that have dramatically changed the world. This raises a number of questions as to whether there are clear guidelines on the use of these tools by employers and employees.
This paper is a case commentary of one …
Animating Interview Narratives, James A. Holstein, Jaber F. Gubrium
Animating Interview Narratives, James A. Holstein, Jaber F. Gubrium
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
This chapter discusses the implications of viewing the interview as an actively constructed conversation through which narrative data are produced. It explores the ramifications of framing the interview and resulting data as by-products of interpretive practice - the whats and hows of an animated process involving active subjects behind interview participants. Matters of reliability, validity, bias, and rigor are considered.
