Women of Bethlehem Steel - Janice Andrew
No full textJanice Andrew worked in ore handling in the Bethlehem Plant at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation from June of 1979 until she was laid-off in March of 1982. In this interview, Andrew reflects on what attracted her to Bethlehem Steel while recounting her experience as a laborer in the Bethlehem Plant. Andrew recounts her first day on the job, describes the different tasks and jobs she did during her three years with Bethlehem Steel, and discusses the challenges that women workers faced in the plant, including a lack of camaraderie among women workers. Before working at Bethlehem Steel, Andrew worked in a textile factory. After Bethlehem Steel, she struggled to find good, fulfilling employment. Eventually, she became a home care provider, a job that she enjoyed and that she held until her health caused her to no longer be able to work. Andrew also discusses her husband’s thirty-year career as a laborer with Bethlehem Steel and his eventual layoff and loss of pension benefits following the closure of the plant and the bankruptcy of the company. This interview is part of a series of interviews conducted by Lehigh University and the Steelworkers’ Archives and supported by the Lehigh University Mellon Digital Humanities Initiative and the South Side Initiative. An oral history interview is an act of memory and hence both highly selective and highly subjective. While it accurately reflects what a narrator remembers (or chooses to tell) of his or her experience and viewpoints, it may not accurately represent what actually transpired or what another person may have experienced. As such users should subject interviews to the same degree of critical scrutiny they would any other historical source
In the Age of Steel: Oral Histories from Bethlehem Pennsylvania -- Andrew P. Skibo
No full textAndrew P. Skibo (ca. 1907-November 29, 2005), born in Slatington, Pennsylvania, was the son of Andrew and Mary Skibo, née Stegura. He was married to Kathryn "Pat" Skibo, née Kuehner. Skibo joined Bethlehem Steel in 1925 and ultimately rose to become manager of Employee Benefits and Payroll Tax Accounting. In this interview he discusses his education, being laid off during the Depression, and setting up programs including tax withholding for municipal, state, and federal taxes, Social Security, the Supplemental Unemployment Benefit program, and the Savings and Vacation Plan. He also talks about legislative activity and court cases surrounding some of the programs. This interview is part of a series of interviews conducted by Lehigh University students and faculty from 1974 through 1977 focusing on retired Bethlehem Steel workers, business people, and the heirs of industrial magnates. The project was co-sponsored by Bethlehem Steel Corporation, who provided contact information for retired steel workers. An oral history interview is an act of memory and hence both highly selective and highly subjective. While it accurately reflects what a narrator remembers (or chooses to tell) of his or her experience and viewpoints, it may not accurately represent what actually transpired or what another person may have experienced.

Father Andrew Mullen 1790-1818: a study in early nineteenth century spirituality
No full textThis thesis is laid out in three parts: Part I. The life and death of Andrew Mullen. The life is based, to a large extent, on a long letter to his mother, Catherine Mullen, dated 7 January 1810. The letter gives a definite insight into his spirituality based on his membership of the Archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a hint that he had a premonition of an early death. Part II. The burial of Andrew Mullen and the immediate cult to him This is based on documentary evidence. Part III. Most of this part is a catalogue of testimonies taken from 1993 onwards. Then there is the conclusion on the popular devotion to Andrew Mullen stressing the theological aspect of the subject. In the course of writing the thesis it was decided to separate the documentary evidence from the oral tradition. This was advantageous in developing the thesis, and the documents provided a secure basis for the oral tradition. Two pieces of information were found in March 1997. They are death notices: 2 January 1819, The Leinster Journal and 7 January 1819, The Car low Morning Post. There is a slight discrepancy between the two on the date of his death. Also this discrepancy shows a slight difference from the date of the tombstone
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
