Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals
No full textConvenient, subject-based access to current periodicals can be difficult to achieve in today’s mixed and changing journals environment. This paper describes the creation of a web-accessible database of journals in business and economics, using Microsoft Access and ColdFusion. Bel Jour, the Business and Economics Locator for Journals at Rutgers, provides value-added descriptive information about a specific subject-based journal collection, along with convenient access to content from this collection. Although the actual journal collection is dispersed among many physical and online locations, Bel Jour provides a single, virtual point of access for researchers in the discipline.Published in print as Womack, Ryan. “Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals.” Information Technology and Libraries, Volume 21, Number 2, June 2002, pp. 81-86.Peer reviewe

Ryan, John. John Ryan interview on the Wren tradition, Colliers
No full textColliers resident John Ryan answers questions about the wren traditionThe wren is just one of several Christmastime house-visiting traditions that
continue in Newfoundland and Labrador. Typically, children and/or adults will
visit homes within their community carrying around an effigy of a small
bird—the wren. Upon entry into a home, they usually recite a poem about the
wren and may offer some kind of performance, be it song, joke, or recitation.
Often the host will offer up food, drink, or money for the visit. Unlike other
house-visiting traditions, there are no disguises involved.Dale Jarvis interviews John Ryan on Wren traditions in Colliers. [Ryan Davis and Dennis Flynn in attendance]
