An Introduction to Preservation Challenges and Potential Solutions for Scrapbooks in Archival Collections
No full textAmong the multitude of preservation problems archivists and special collections curators face in their collections, arguably one of the most challenging is the preservation of historic scrapbooks. Although scrapbooks do not often comprise a large portion of collections in archives or special collections, they are critically important as research tools, and their composition, irreplaceability, and complicated degradation create preservation challenges for even the most seasoned collection manager. These materials have long troubled conservators and archivists, but few have written on the topic due to the array of variability in their format, types of enclosures, and deterioration. Written for an archival audience, this article explores the composition of most scrapbooks, outlines the most common methods of deterioration, offers some simple preservation options, and considers the advantages and limitations of conservation treatment and reformatting options for these unique materials.Submitted by Jennifer Teper ([email protected]) on 2016-05-20T16:58:26Z

Alcune note sulla distribuzione di rus. sejčas/teper' e it. ora/adesso
No full textThe present corpus-based study aims at investigating possible areas of cross-linguistic convergence regarding both the semantic and pragmatic properties and the syntactic distribution of two pairs of Russian (sejčas vs. teper') and Italian (ora vs. adesso) pure indexicals which, much alike the English now, can be alternatively used either as temporal operators or as textual pragmatic markers. The analysis has been carried out following a two-step procedure: on the one hand, a statistical sample of 600 examples has been manually extracted from the Russian-Italian parallel subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus; on the other hand, some of the Italian contexts have been presented in a separate questionnaire specifically designed for a randomized sample of Italian native speakers. The preliminary results seem to support the working hypothesis that in Russian sejčas and teper', besides their respective prototypical functions of temporal operator and textual pragmatic marker, are assigned a partially overlapping array of contextually determined meanings within the same continuum; moreover, in the contemporary language the functional domain of sejčas seems to be expanding and taking over most of the contexts which would previously feature the sole teper'. In Italian, on the contrary, the opposition between ora and adesso (which can interchangeably translate both sejčas and teper' with no significant semantic deviation) seems to be regulated exclusively by diatopic and/or diaphasic criteria.The present corpus-based study aims at investigating possible areas of cross-linguistic convergence regarding both the semantic and pragmatic properties and the syntactic distribution of two pairs of Russian (sejčas vs. teper') and Italian (ora vs. adesso) pure indexicals which, much alike the English now, can be alternatively used either as temporal operators or as textual pragmatic markers.

Previous issue date: 2018-04-10OpenAs caretakers of cultural heritage, there is intrinsic value in a diversity of experience and perspectives to better address the needs of our material culture. While there have been a great number of diversity efforts across many areas of library science and administration, there has been little focus on diversity within preservation. This project presents and interprets the results of a survey on diversity in the field of library preservation and conservation
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
Effects of 2 inhaled corticosteroids on growth. Results of a randomised controlled trial
No full textObjective To compare the long-term effect of treatment with fluticasone propionate or beclomethasone dipropionate on growth in asthmatic children.
Design Prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study.
Setting Children requiring regular treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and with a sexual maturity rating of Tanner stage 1 (prepubertal).
Patients Three hundred forty-three children aged 4 to 11 years with asthma. The growth population (excluding patients with protocol violations likely to affect growth measurements) included 277 patients.
Interventions Fluticasone propionate or beclomethasone dipropionate, both at a dosage of 200 μg administered twice daily via a dry powder inhaler (Diskhaler) for 12 months.
Main Outcome Measures Growth velocity, lung function, and serum and urinary cortisol levels.
Results The adjusted mean growth velocity in the fluticasone group was significantly greater than that in the beclomethasone group (5.01 [SE, 0.14] vs 4.10 [SE, 0.15] cm/y; difference, 0.91 cm; 95% confidence interval, 0.63-1.20 cm; P<.001). Both treatments improved lung function, with significant differences in favor of fluticasone. Adverse events were similar in both groups, and there were no significant differences in effect on serum and urinary cortisol levels.
Conclusions The more favorable risk-benefit ratio of fluticasone indicates that this agent is preferable to beclomethasone for the long-term treatment of children with asthma, especially if moderate doses are required
Historic Scrapbooks in Libraries and Archives – the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
No full textAnybody who works in or with library and archival collections knows that historic scrapbooks are some of the most engaging and personal materials found in our collections. However, they are also one of the most challenging to care for and provide access to. This talk offers a brief history of scrapbooks, their structure and materials, as well as examples of what makes them so special. Jennifer Hain Teper then offers a series of case studies of how several challenging scrapbooks and photo albums from the Gwendolyn Brooks Papers were approached for conservation and digitization as part of a Save America’s Treasures Grant at the University of Illinois Libraries from 2020-2023.
Jennifer Hain Teper serves as the Velde Professor and Preservation Librarian at the University of Illinois Libraries overseeing conservation, collections care, digital preservation and digitization services throughout the library system. Before her current position began in 2009, she served as the head of conservation at the University of Illinois libraries from 2001-2008. Jennifer graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in August of 2000 with a MLIS and Certificate of Advanced Study in the Conservation and Preservation of Library and Archival Materials. She teaches several preservation and conservation related courses in the Graduate School of Information Science at the University of Illinois and also serves as an instructor at the Center for Collections Care. Her current research interests focus on the prioritization of preservation actions in academic and research libraries relative to holdings in shared print repositories and DEIA efforts within conservation education. She is a Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
