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

Data Visualization and R
No full textThis workshop focuses on principles and techniques for the visualization of data, with an equal emphasis on theory and implementation. Drawing on classic works by Cleveland (Visualizing Data), Tufte (The Visual Display of Quantitative Information), and Wilkinson (The Grammar of Graphics), a range of best practices for visualization are illustrated. Recently developed techniques for large-scale, 3D, and interactive visualization are also discussed. For each of these approaches, methods for creating similar graphics in the R open-source statistical language are demonstrated, using packages such as ggplot2, lattice, and others. Interactive visualization packages such as playwith, shiny and others are also explored.Presented at IASSIST 40th Annual Conference, "Aligning Data and Research Infrastructure", Toronto, Canada, June 3, 2014.Womack, Ryan (2014 June).

Information intermediaries and optimal information distribution
No full textInformation intermediaries collect, organize, and distribute information to their clients. This study examines three institutional forms of information intermediary: the for-profit firm, the nonprofit organization, and the government agency. Using results from the economics and information science literature, five tests are proposed that characterize particular information markets. For a given information market, these characteristics determine the institutional form of information intermediary that will maximize the total social and private benefit from information consumption. Although many kinds of information can be effectively delivered by for-profit information intermediaries, socially beneficial information often requires subsidized provision from government or nonprofit intermediaries in order to encourage consumption up to socially optimal levels. Applications to current topics in information distribution are also discussed.Author’s version of paper published as Womack, Ryan. “Information intermediaries and optimal information distribution.” Library and Information Science Research.

High Speed, High Price, High Demand: Business Internet Resources and Databases in American Academic Libraries [paper]
No full textBusiness school students and faculty increasingly expect the most current and accurate information to be available from their desktop (or wireless laptop). Often the demand is for information on the latest developments from the financial press, such as the collapse of another technology company, or for extensive statistics on international financial markets. The challenge for libraries and librarians is to keep up with this demand while keeping costs under control, maintaining a coherent organization of the increasingly virtual collection, and preserving access to important resources that are not yet web-based.
The paper discusses the ongoing evolution of information resources for business from the perspective of academic libraries in the United States supporting graduate business programs. In all areas of business information, electronic resources are increasingly supplanting traditional print resources. Converting existing print resources to electronic form is reviewed, including cost and licensing issues. The proliferation of free information on the internet is discussed, as well as how to organize and manage this information by creating web guides for specific topics in business and economics. Electronic journals are also becoming dominant: at Rutgers University approximately 80% percent of business-related titles are available online. The use of databases to manage complex journal holdings is also discussed, including the Bel Jour database of business and economics journals (www.scc.rutgers.edu/beljour) developed by the author.Womack, Ryan. “High Speed, High Price, High Demand: Business Internet Resources and Databases in American Academic Libraries."

Development of a 3D Learning Resource of the Pterygopalatine Fossa Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography For Dental Students
No full textThe pterygopalatine fossa is a pyramidal shaped fossa located between the infratemporal fossa and the nasal cavity. The major contents include the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve, the pterygopalatine ganglion, and branches of the 3rd part of the maxillary artery. The fossa is very difficult for students to visualize in textbooks and the gross laboratory. The increasing use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry has increased the ability of dental clinicians to visualize anatomical structures in multiple dimensions. The purpose of this study was to develop a 3D learning resource of the pterygopalatine fossa using CBCT for dental students
