3000 to 0: Migrating Electronic Reserves to the College’s CMS
No full textPresented at the 2016 Access Services Conference, Georgia Tech Global Learning Center and the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, November 16-18, 2016, Atlanta, Georgia.Amy Handfield, Access Services Librarian at Manhattan College, Bronx NY, is a visual artist and academic librarian. She has an MFA from Goddard College and an MLS from Drexel University. Her research interests include technology applications in library administration, the ‘bring your own device’ pedagogical movement, and Open Access publishing. She has presented her research at two City University of New York’s EdTech Showcase and once at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Access Services Conference. She is an active member of the ALA, ACRL, and the New York chapter of the ACRL. Handfield writes reviews for CHOICE magazine that specialize in Visual Art and Art History and has currently been published as a chapter author by Scarecrow Press.In the fall of 2015, the O’Malley Library at Manhattan College piloted a new form of electronic library reserves. Since 2002, the library has been using Docutek as a platform to organize electronic reserve material for the courses offered at the college. As the years progressed and both technology and teaching styles changed, this system decreased in efficiency. The $3000.00 yearly cost of the platform and the staff hours needed to process the e-reserves proved to be highly ineffective by 2014. By the summer of 2015 all electronic reserve material was migrated to Moodle the content management system used college wide. This process included a complete change in reserve processing workflow and collaboration with other departments. The results of the revised electronic library reserves were highly successful. It was more transparent, accessible to both students and faculty, significantly more cost effective

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
