An evaluation of information literacy of postgraduate students of the National University of Lesotho (NUL)
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 126-136).In this global information age many technological advances have changed approaches to education and the way libraries are managed. The massive increase of unfiltered information has resulted in high demands for information literacy programmes. Therefore, students need to be assisted throughout their learning process. The result of this change is the shift from teacher-centered type of learning to student-centered learning. The gap between the library and the classroom needs to be bridged by insisting on the use of information literacy skills and by promoting cooperation and collaboration of efforts between the teaching staff and the library. The learning organizations need to realize the need to embed information literacy within their curriculum to enhance quality education. The transformation requires libraries to embark on student learning and empower students with necessary information literacy skills. This issue of empowering students with necessary skills had become a motivating factor that drove me to carry out this research in order to find out the status and level of information literacy for postgraduate students of NUL. Information literacy standards were used as a measure. The study used a combination of both qualitative and quantitative research methods. A questionnaire was used as a main data collection instrument and the results were measured against the American Library Association (ALA) information literacy standards. Interviews were also conducted at NUL to supplement the main data collection instrument. Findings reflect a moderate to poor performance of a group of postgraduate and senior Law students who participated in this survey study. Findings from interviews provided evidence that NUL is aware of the concept of information literacy
Verschillen tussen alef-nul en alef-één
No full textDe 'grootte' van een verzameling staat in de wiskunde bekend onder de term 'kardinaliteit'. Omdat de kardinaliteit van de natuurlijke getallen niet met een eindig natuurlijk getal n kan worden aangetoond, is de kardinaliteit van deze verzameling uniek gedefinieerd als alef-nul. Met dank aan Cantor’s bewijs voor de stelling dat de verzameling reële getallen overaftelbaar is, weet men dat er verzamelingen bestaan met kardinaliteit groter dan alef-nul. De eerstvolgende verzameling die groter is dan de verzameling natuurlijke getallen geven we kardinaliteit alef-één. Vanzelfsprekend zijn er voor verzamelingen met kardinaliteit alef-nul talloze mooie stellingen geformuleerd en bewezen. Deze stellingen kunnen eenvoudig worden uitgebreid naar verzamelingen met kardinaliteit alef-één, door de term 'eindig' in 'oneindig' te veranderen en 'aftelbaar' in 'overaftelbaar'. Het valt echter op dat sommige stellingen die gelden voor verzamelingen met kardinaliteit alef-nul niet meer gelden nadat ze zijn uitgebreid naar verzamelingen met kardinaliteit alef-één. Het kan ook gebeuren dat een stelling juist wel in het overaftelbare geval geldt, maar niet in het aftelbare geval. In dit verslag zullen een aantal dergelijke stellingen aan bod komen.Applied Mathematic

NUL authority file today
Get PDFRad će predstaviti normativnu bazu NSK, njezin razvoj i ulogu u postizanju nacionalnoga bibliografskoga nadzora. Budući da je NSK od 2013. godine članica VIAF-a (Virtual International Authority File), prikazat će se osnovne značajke te virtualne međunarodne normativne baze, njezina svrha, struktura i najvažniji statistički podaci vezani uz zapise normativne baze NSK. Razmotrit će se uključenje identifikatora ISNI u normativnu bazu NSK. Rad donosi prikaz načina i svrhe korištenja Univerzalne decimalne klasifikacije za nacionalne autore u normativnoj bazi NSK kao i reviziju zapisa normativne baze u skladu s novim, skraćenim izdanjem UDK.The paper presents the work on the NUL Authority File in the National and University Library in Zagreb, pointing out its crucial role in developing and achieving the national bibliographic control. The NUL Authority File has been a member of the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) since 2013. The paper presents the VIAF, its basic features, the purpose, the structure and the most important statistical data related to records of NUL Authority File in VIAF. Furthermore, the paper presents the ISNI identifier, the process of integration of the ISNI identifier in the NUL Authority File, and the way the NUL uses Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) for distinguishing Croatian authors from others in the NUL Authority File. The paper also describes the process of correcting the authority records according to the new 2011 licensed abridged edition of the UDC
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
