Journal Adult Education - Bibliographic Data and Content Analysis of Published Articles (2001-2017)

Journals represent the most prominent medium of formal scholarly communication, and therefore, evaluation of journals has become an important tool for researchers who publish novel research results as well as for those who wish to be up-todate with the current research streams. Within this context, the analysis of Journal Adult Education was conveyed aiming to identify changes that were brought in the editing process of the Journal from 2001 until 2017. This general research objective is further divided into two research tasks – bibliographic analysis and content analysis of the journal. On the basis of bibliometric method on the selected sample of contributions, presence (or omission) of the following identification bibliographic data were assessed: author name, article title, author’s institutional affiliation, author’s contact details; article’s UDC, abstract and key words in two languages; article title and reference list. Further analysis included also author’s country of origin. The second research task was aimed at content analysis of published articles, in particular, scholarly-professional communication in adult education, which reflects cognitive texture of the field. The focus of analysis was content elements such as: key words, thematic focus and the level of andragogical approach to the given phenomenon. The results indicate that the Journal has witnessed increase in the quality of data of article identification, that on the basis of larger representation of authors from the neighbouring countries it can be regarded as regional journal, but that it is still not thematically clearly defined. Andragogical approach in much regard is mixed with approaches of other disciplines, more or less congenial to it, even to a certain extent completely deviating from the logics of adult education.

La violencia de género en el teatro español de denuncia: Acercamiento al problema en cuatro textos contemporáneos

Current Spanish Theater clearly shows its ethical commitment to the society in which it is born, and it does so by critically reflecting contemporary society in a way that helps to set new paradigms regarding the controversial issues, and that we are most concerned about. In this line of testimonial viewing and complaint, violence is one of the recurring arguments, and the various manifestations of gender-based violence have a remarkable place. The stages bear witness to gender violence since always, as examples of the treatment of the theme of honor in the baroque theater of the seventeenth century. The social impact that this topic of honor risen to the baroque stages still have in our society is of great importance, because for centuries has not only reflected the conception of absolute submission of women to the patriarchal figure and the prevalence of the man over her, but has also helped it to take root. Faced with this vision, other texts have served to begin to raise awareness of the problem. From the mid-twentieth century until today, an interesting list of titles serves as a sample of the attention given by our playwrights to gender abuse and everything that surrounds them: legislation, forensic medical forensic reports, care of socio-health care professionals And psychological, pedagogical actions with minors, etc.

Tapping Into Alumni as a Source of Authentic Information and Advice on Careers in Psychology

This article describes how my psychology department utilizes our alumni to educate current and prospective students about careers in psychology. I explain how we developed an alumni careers website and on-campus alumni careers sessions for students. High school students and our psychology majors reported that they found this information valuable, but they also valued a broader list of psychology job titles. Nevertheless, students appreciated the fact that the alumni careers information was more reflective of real-world jobs of our university’s graduates as compared to the list of job titles.

An analysis of interlibrary loan services: a case study of a university in South Africa

PurposeThe landscape of teaching, learning and research has changed requiring the need for diverse information resources. Given the current budgetary constraints and financial conditions prevailing in many universities, sharing of information resources has become a necessity. The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services have thus become an important service to meet the immediate needs of library users. The aim of this paper is to analyse the ILL services of the North-West University in South Africa from 2006 to 2016. Using statistical data, the paper shows the emerging pattern in borrowing and lending between institutions as well as determines the existence of correlations between borrowing and lending libraries. The results of this study show that ILL amongst libraries has decreased in the past 11 years. A need exists for increased awareness of ILL and there is need for technological innovations that will ensure that library users are able to request for information resources seamlessly.Design/methodology/approachThis is a quantitative study that uses ILL data from the North-West University. Data were downloaded from the SABINET ILL system using the three NWU JC codes. They were then collated and uploaded on excel spreadsheets. In the main, the excel spreadsheets were used to interpret the data. Further, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, in particular Spearman’s Correlation Analysis, was used to test correlations between data from libraries that requested information resources from NWU and data from libraries that supplied information resources to NWU during this period using Rumsey’s guidelines to interpret the correlations.FindingsThe findings of the study reveal that ILL among libraries in South Africa had generally declined owing mostly to the proliferation of online resources resulting to changes in user information-seeking behaviour. The decline is despite the challenges of low budgets received by most libraries for the acquisition of information resources. It can also be concluded that public university libraries still value ILL as demonstrated by the high number of items requested from other libraries. The findings also reveal that most ILL activities were conducted by public universities.Research limitations/implicationsIt was not possible to obtain the list of titles that have been requested and also to obtain the user’s details. This would have enabled the authors to determine the type of titles that are being requested, and the users that request them.Practical implicationsILL should continue to be enhanced in view of the challenge of dwindling library budgets against the escalating prices of information resources. There is also a need for user education so that they become aware of the ILL service. From experience, library users normally give up once they realize that what they wanted is not available through the local catalogue and this calls for librarians to create an awareness to users that ILL could help solve their frustrations.Social implicationsThese results show that ILL can play a significant role to level the playing field between the well-resourced libraries in urbanized regions or provinces and the poorly resourced ones in rural regions or provinces. This social justice aspect of ILL is probably the reason why better resourced libraries in South Africa have decided to remain in the scheme unlike other countries where better resourced libraries opted out of reciprocal arrangements with small and medium-sized institutions.Originality/valueThe study adds to a very limited number of studies emanating from Africa. A study of this nature has never been conducted in Africa, as previous studies were nationwide studies. As far as the authors know, this is the first study that uses ILL data to research the impact of the global financial crisis on libraries in Africa.

예수 그리스도가 하나님의 서술어인가? : 디도서 2:13의 번역 문제

Titus 2:13 causes a significant discussion about the translation as popular versions of the English Bible show the disagreement (NIV, NAS/RSV, KJV etc.). This phenomenon can also be found in the Korean Bible translations. The key issue of the translation is whether Titus 2:13 calls Jesus “God”. So the question that arises is whether the two titles “God” and “Savior” (θεός and σωτῆρος) refer to one person, Jesus Christ (the Son) or to two persons (the Father and the Son). Possibly, the occurrence of this issue is due to the fact that in order to understand the verse, it is necessary to have profound comprehension about the complexity of the origin Greek syntax externally and also about the (Pauline) Christology of early Christianity internally.BR In the case of the complexity of the Greek Syntax, we should focus on the two καί in the middle of the sentence. Especially the second καί plays an important role which connects the two titles θεός and σωτήρ. But the difficulties here are to distinguish whether these two titles are tied together only to Christ or whether they are used separately for God and Christ respectively. Unlike what is often mentioned here, I do not think the Granville Sharp Rule (The-Substantive-καί-Substantive) applies strictly. I therefore also see here that the second καί has the function not as an appositional but as an equivalent conjunction. In the case of the title interchange between God and Christ, it is often overestimated in the discussion regarding Christ’s divine nature. Certainly the σωτήρ’s use of God-Christ interchange is widely and frequently recognized. The application of salvation can be the predication of Christ as well as the Father. But for the usage of the title θεός in the phenomenon appears very limitedly and carefully. That is an evidence that it is difficult to clearly and explicitly designate Jesus Christ as θεός.BR Beginning with Ross’s first complete translation of the New Testament 『예수셩교젼셔』 (1887), early Korean Bible versions have been influenced by English translations like the Revised Version (RV) and the King James Version (KJV). According to the translation tradition of these versions, Titus 2:13 in early versions of the Korean Bible has been translated, in terms of content, into the two-persons phrase. Though the process of translating and revising, the text has been modified according to the specificity of the Korean language such as spacing words and especially omitting the second ί. In this κα regard, the New Korean Revised Version (1998) which is the official Bible in Korea for liturgy that has inherited this tradition of Korean Bible translation seems to simply give a list of majestic titles. In the next revision of this Bible, it is necessary to clarify the grammatical relationship and the theological position.

Open for Business: Open Access Journals in Commercial Databases

ABSTRACTIn this investigation the availability of Open Access journals in three commercial databases commonly licensed by libraries, as verified by reference to the Directory of Open Access Journals title list, ranged from 10.91% to 29.18%. A more in-depth analysis of sample Open Access titles available through these databases revealed that the databases varied from 0% to 96.72% in regards to clearly identifying Open Access content and between 83.33% and 96.72% in enabling full access to these sample titles. The inclusion of Open Access content also increased overall title counts in these commercial databases between 6.24% and 10.40%, raising the question of whether some databases include Open Access content to increase title counts and justify higher subscription fees.

A Brief Overview of Medieval Persian Literature

<p><em>Reviewing the origins of a particular literary history allows us to better comprehend the allusions the literature conveys and why we appreciate them. It also allows us to anticipate how the literature may progress (Fouchecour, 2006) I will try to keep this approach in the reader’s mind in presenting this brief summary of medieval Persian literature, a daunting task considering the multiplicity and wealth of the texts and documentation on the subject (Fouchecour, 2006). In this study we will pay special attention to the progress of Persian literature over the last millennia, concentrating in particular on the early development and background of various literary genres in Persian. Although the idea of literary genres is rather subjective and unstable (Perkins, 1993, pp. 29-33), studying them is a worthwhile approach for an overview, enabling better understanding, deeper argumentation, and deeper analysis than would a simple listing of dates, titles, and basic biographical facts of the giants of Persian literature.</em></p>

Melanchthon’s Rhetorics and the Order of Learning: A Case Study in Library Database Research

Order was a leitmotif in the philosophy of Wittenberg reformer Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560). In his writings on the liberal arts, he promoted a new “order of learning” to supplant scholastic traditions in grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Partly in response to social upheavals during the Reformation, he changed his view of the order of learning, as illustrated by comparison of his three principal writings on rhetoric, first published in 1519, 1521, and 1531. This essay examines the binding of these rhetorics into miscellanies (Sammelbände) by compiling lists of titles included in these miscellanies and suggests that such records reveal a shift in the reading of Melanchthon's work from an approach to rhetoric focused primarily upon eloquence to one focused more exclusively upon judgement.

Communications Act 2021

The Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, is showing its age. Like an old New England house that added drafty new additions over the years to house a growing extended family, the Act is poorly suited to meet today's challenges. Much of what is included in the Act relates to earlier technologies, market structures, and regulatory constructs that address issues that are either no longer relevant or that cause confusion when one tries to map them to current circumstances. The legacy Act was crafted in a world of circuit-switched POTS telephony provided by public utilities, and even when substantially revised in 1996, barely mentions broadband or the Internet. Moreover, the FCC has struggled in recent years to establish its authority to regulate broadband services and in its effort to craft a framework to protect an Open Internet (sometimes, referred to as Network Neutrality). While many of the fundamental concerns that the legacy Act addressed remain core concerns for public policy, the technology, market, and policy environment are substantially changed. For example, we believe that universal access to broadband and Internet services are important policy goals, but do not believe that the current framework enshrined in Title II of the legacy Act does a good job of advancing those goals. In this paper, we identify the key concerns that a new Act should address and those issues in the legacy Act that may be of diminished importance. We propose a list of the key Titles that a new Communications Act of 2021 might include and identify their critical provisions. Our straw man proposal includes six titles: Title I establishes the basic goals of the Act and sets forth the scope and authority for the FCC; Title II provides the basic framework for regulating potential bottlenecks; Title III establishes a framework for monitoring the performance of communications markets, for addressing market failures, and for promoting industrial policy goals; Title IV focuses on managing radio-frequency spectrum; Title V focuses on public safety and critical infrastructure; and Title VI addresses the transition plan. Our goal is to provoke a discussion about what a new Act might look like in an ideal, clean-slate world; not to address the political, procedural, or legal challenges that necessarily would confront any attempt at major reform. That such challenges are daunting we take as given and as a partial explanation for why the legacy Act has survived so long. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile having a clear picture of what a new Communications Act should include and the benefits that having a new Act might offer so we can better judge what our priorities ought to be and what reforms might best be attempted.

Show Me the Value! Constructing an Analytical Tool for Assessing a Consortial Serials Package

ABSTRACTIn early 2014, the Electronic Resource Committee (ERC) of the Triangle Research Libraries Network, which includes Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, began work to replace a database previously used to assess the value of consortially negotiated serial packages with a more accessible tool. Over the course of the next two years, the ERC collaborated with Matthew Harrington, a library technician at North Carolina State University, to create a Microsoft Access database capable of presenting title-level analyses, collection-level graphs, and institutional-level comparisons in addition to the higher-level summary statistics stemming from its original purpose. The database incorporates built-in functions to look for data integrity issues, reconcile title lists, and calculate what the package might look like with a different title set. This presentation focuses on the design and construction of this database tool in the context of its original intention, namely to show value. Therefore, rather than presenting an analysis of the data, I intend to demonstrate what can be done to transform data into information that displays value.

Happy New Year!

Dear Readers,Our winter issue features many excellent book reviews that cover a fascinating range of subjects and experiences, such as: crossing a harbour to an extraordinary island full of treasure (The Riddlemaster), examining issues such as poverty, racism, addiction, and healing (Dreaming in Indian); and exploring the delightful flora and fauna of Australia (Simone in Australia). There are many more books to choose from and we hope you enjoy the variety.We also take great pleasure announcing that our new issue has book reviews from the recently updated Children’s Health Fiction Titles List, including: Fishing with Grandma, Mon ami Claire, Noni Speaks Up, Saila and Betty, and Tattle-tell. The update includes titles from 2014 to 2016 and we encourage readers to have a look at the full list, A Selective Collection of Children’s Health Fiction 2014 – 2016, in the University of Alberta’s Education and Research Archive (ERA).The Children’s Health Fiction list was created to help libraries and parents looking for high quality stories that help children to better understand and cope with health issues in their lives. Information about the project, a link to the original titles list, and guidance for selecting children’s fictional works on health-related topics, was published in the October 2014 Special Issue of the Deakin Review of Children’s Literature (Vol. 4, No. 2).On a final note in the way of announcements, we are delighted to offer a peer-reviewed article that “describes why and how the University of Alberta Libraries built a Spanish language children’s literature collection.” You will find it under the “Articles” heading of the Table of Contents. All of us at the Deakin Review wish you a peaceful and happy winter season filled with good books and many visits to the library.Best wishes,Robert Desmarais, Managing Editor (with thanks to Sandy Campbell & Maria Tan for an update on the Children’s Health Fiction Titles List)

Telling Stories of Freedom of the Press

Telling Stories of Freedom of the Press R. B. Bernstein (bio) Richard Kluger. Indelible Ink: The Trials of John Peter Zenger and the Birth of America's Free Press. New York and London: W. W. Norton & Company, 2016. xxi + 346 pp. Acknowledgments, Note on Sources, Notes, Selected Bibliography, Image Credits, Index. $27.95. Wendell Bird. Press and Speech under Assault: The Early Supreme Court Justices, the Sedition Act of 1798, and the Campaign against Dissent. New York: Oxford University Press, 2016. xli + 522 pp. Abbreviated Title List, Index. $74.00. The rhetoric of liberty and freedom pervades American political talk. Sometimes it lurks beneath the surface of other issues, and other times it has pride of place. In either case, that rhetoric gives rise to a perennial American habit—telling and retelling stories about liberty and freedom in American history. Like the recounting each year of the Passover story at Seders around the world, these stories of liberty remind and reassure us that America is a land of liberty, that we must never take our liberties for granted, and that retellings of how our liberties were won or nearly lost should inspire us to remain vigilant in defense of them. The books under review retell old stories in different ways and for different purposes. In Indelible Ink, Richard Kluger has written a familiar account of the Palatine printer John Peter Zenger, whose travails in New York in the 1730s as criminal defendant and persecuted printer built an imperishable monument to our reverence for freedom of the press. Kluger's purpose is to spur us, by invoking Zenger's example, to stand forth again in defense of press freedoms in an era when they are newly besieged. By contrast, in Press and Speech under Assault, Wendell Bird has given us a formidably researched and challenging account of the Sedition Act of 1798, its precedents, its uses, and its complicated relationship with the common law so often cited as justification for it. Kluger's well-crafted narrative tells us what we already know. By contrast, Bird's dense and powerful monograph warns us that we have been misled and that we ought to know far more, and it deduces conclusions radically different from those that we have often been told to draw. Bird's purpose is [End Page 565] to challenge the power of conventional understandings and to bring needed complexity and nuance to that task. Kluger is a prolific independent scholar whose works include Simple Justice (1975), The Paper (1986), and Ashes to Ashes (1996). His latest book, Indelible Ink, retells the story of John Peter Zenger, his newspaper the New-York Weekly Journal, and the efforts of colonial authorities to suppress it and to silence him and his political backers. Framing their story within concentric historical and modern contexts, Kluger insists that it is essential for modern readers to understand the value of press freedoms; the ways in which today they are threatened by such forces as market pressures, fear of terrorism, and governmental demands to protect national security; and, most important, how these modern threats were all implicit in the Zenger story nearly three centuries ago. Kluger's Preamble, "The Essential Liberty," begins constructing that modern frame for his historical story, eloquently extolling the value and necessity of press freedom; his Epilogue, "From Zenger to Snowden," completes that frame, drawing explicit links between past and present. Within that frame, Kluger recounts, with detail not found in previous versions of the story, Zenger's origins and career before he came to New York; his alliance with the political faction led by the prominent New York politician Lewis Morris; his collaboration with the Morrisites in creating a newspaper that became a powerful force challenging the colony's political establishment led by Royal Governor William Cosby; and his becoming the focus of the dispute between the Morrisites and the Cosbyites. The climax of Kluger's story is the prosecution by New York authorities of Zenger for the crime of seditious libel (punishing criticism of government or public officials), and the dramatic appearance at a critical moment in Zenger's trial of the great Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Hamilton, who took over Zenger's...

Nizar Albache: championing the cause of Syrian refugees with diabetes

Nizar Albache is president of the Syrian Endocrine Society and chair-elect of the International Diabetes Federation for the Middle East and North Africa (IDF-MENA) Region, and has previously served as president of the Arab Group for Study of Diabetes and vice president of the Syrian Diabetes Association and the Mediterranean Group for Study of Diabetes. But this impressive list of titles does little to tell the personal story of a physician who fled war-torn Syria to become an indefatigable champion for the region's refugees with diabetes.

Watch the Horse

ABSTRACTWe hear often of the success of managers and administrators. We can find lists of titles on how to succeed as a manager and be the best we can be. We rarely read of failure or coping with failure from the people who have failed and survived with their jobs, or not survived as so often is the case. Somewhere in between always succeeding and sometimes failing is job fatigue. What to do with ourselves and how to recover our confidence and energy when we are completely drained is a personal decision and one with many choices. The author chose learning to ride and own horses and in this column she explains how learning to “mean it” with horses allowed her to redefine success and remain an enthusiastic library administrator.

A comparative review of gerontological nursing citation data.

Gerontological nursing is a highly interdisciplinary specialty. English-language bibliometric research is scarce. Study gerontological nursing literature to identify journals useful for nurses and researchers working with older adults, help librarians assist gerontological nursing authors to find publication outlets and make library collection decisions. Using a combination of methods, the authors identified cited journals in the Journal of Gerontological Nursing (JGN) and Geriatric Nursing (GN) from 2008 to 2010 using part of the Nursing and Allied Health Resources (NAHRS) Sectionprotocol. A list was generated and compared to the results of an earlier unpublished NAHRS study and an earlier review article. A second list was developed following set criteria of bibliometric indicators and journal lists. Zone 1 showed 28 journals, and Zone 2 had 1472 titles. Zone 1 journals were examined further based on the inclusion of certain bibliometrics and journal lists. Providing insight into the complementary use comparative review and citation mapping, this study reports an increase in gerontological nursing research from 2008 to 2010 across a diverse group of highly cited journals. A list of new journal titles is presented to aid collection development and suggestions of places to publish gerontological research.

Tackling Big Deals: the experience of Maastricht University

Purpose This paper aims to describe the experiences of the Maastricht University Library in The Netherlands with regard to the evaluation of electronic subscriptions. For the evaluation of Big Deals, a tool was built to obtain an overview of the value of the package. For individual subscriptions, ways were investigated to keep rising costs under control. Design/methodology/approach The paper shows the ways in which the library staff endeavoured to gain more control over the renewal of electronic content. Several options were investigated and tried out in practice. Findings To use the evaluation tool, the faculties delivered core title lists of journals. After combining these with usage statistics, the titles in the package and the list prices of these titles, the staff are provided with a report. This report is very helpful for making a decision about the renewal. However, it is clear that it is difficult to control something the steep annual price increases of individual journals subscriptions. Originality/value This is one of the very few papers published on attempts to control journal price increases. The paper describes a subject that libraries worldwide encounter and thus will help to meet the needs of library staff involved with collection and license management.
