Connections Beyond Campus: Ontario University Library Outreach Programs for High Schools
No full textOver the past few decades, partnerships and programming between secondary school and post-secondary librarians and libraries have been widely discussed in library literature. These collaborations often exist to help high school students develop information literacy (IL) skills and to provide a smoother transition to university-level research. This paper examines the current high school outreach activities at Ontario university libraries that aim to bridge the gap between high school and post-secondary education.
The purpose of this research, conducted through online surveys and interviews with academic librarians in the province, is to provide a snapshot of high school outreach activities and to highlight the benefits and challenges of such programming. It also examines why some libraries no longer offer such activities or programs. This analysis of the variety of outreach activities aims to generate discussion and ideas that academic libraries can use to connect with high school libraries.Au cours des dernières décennies, les partenariats et les programmes entre les écoles secondaires et les bibliothécaires et bibliothèques universitaires ont été largement abordés dans la littérature en bibliothéconomie. Ces collaborations existent souvent afin d’aider les élèves du secondaire à développer leurs compétences informationnelles et de permettre une transition plus facile vers la recherche de niveau universitaire. Cet article examine les activités actuelles des bibliothèques universitaires ontariennes quant à aux programmes de sensibilisation auprès des écoles secondaires qui ont comme objectif de combler l’écart entre la formation secondaire et postsecondaire.
Le but de cette enquête, menée par le biais de sondages en ligne et d’entrevues avec des bibliothécaires universitaires de la province, est de fournir un aperçu des activités de sensibilisation auprès des écoles secondaires et de mettre en valeur les bienfaits et les défis de tels programmes. Elle présente également les raisons pour lesquelles certaines bibliothèques n’offrent plus de telles activités ou de tels programmes. Cette analyse des diverses activités vise à susciter davantage de discussions et d’idées que les bibliothèques universitaires peuvent utiliser pour établir des liens avec les bibliothèques des écoles secondaires

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
