King Jeongjo intended to replace Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram by publishing Haedong Yeoji Tongjae. It combines National Eupjis which has been compiled several times since King Yeongjo"s time in Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram. The National Eupjis Compilation Project during the reign of King Jeongjo may be classified into the first half and the second half as of June 1789, when those responsible for compilation are designated by province and items. According to the Gakdo Eupji compiled in 1780, 56 of the 61 are of the Yeojidoseo line, and five are of the Gyeongsangdo Eupji type. In response, King Jeongjo intended to publish a new type of the National Eupjis combining the Gakdo Eupji and Yeoji Seungram. The Dongguk Munheon Bigo was ordered to be revised, while the Gaeseongbu and Ganghwabu published the eupjis, and the Hongmungwan in 1786 was required to collect the eupjis of each county. In August 1787, the ‘Regulations on eupji" was established, and the government ordered the eupji compilation of two large counties for each province, but failed to produce any results. In the latter half of the reign of King Jeongjo, the eupjis were corrected according to certain guidelines based on eupjis and the central government"s various records. Lee Seo-gu practically led the project by assisting Jeongjo as a secretary. It was quickly corrected to Gyeongdo, Hanseongbu, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, and Gyeongsang-do. In 1790, the west library of Gyujanggak had 46 books of Haedong Eupji, which were revised by the officials in charge and corrected by Lee Seo-gu. The project, which had been pushed back in priority, gained momentum in September 1792 when Lee Seo-gu returned as a secretary to the King Jeongjo. At the end of 1792, the regulations sent from Seungjeongwon were ordered to follow the Yeongnam-style and to revise them by imitating the examples in Yeoji Seungram if anything unreasonable was found. In Jeolla-do, some of the additional items were added based on the Andongbu Yeojiji(1786), and Honam Eupji was completed when Lee Seo-gu was the governor. The Honam Eupji type was a ‘perfect eupji type’ to replace the Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram and reflected the ideal of King Jeongjo"s Haedong Yeoji Tongjae. The 60 volumes of the Haedong Yeoji Tongjae, the only manuscript at the end of King Jeongjo"s reign, were completed to some extent, but were not properly kept. Thus, traces of Haedong Yeoji Tongjae can be found only in Dongguk Yeoji Bigo and Honam Eupji.

CONUNDrum: A program for orbital-free density functional theory calculations

We present a new code for energy minimization, structure relaxation and evaluation of bulk parameters in the framework of orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT). The implementation is based on solving the Euler–Lagrange equation on an equidistant real space grid on which density dependent variables and derivatives are computed. Some potential components are computed in Fourier space. The code is able to use semilocal and non-local kinetic energy functionals (KEF) as well as neural network based KEFs thus facilitating testing and development of emerging machine-learned KEFs. For semi-local and machine-learned KEFs the kinetic energy potentials are evaluated with real-space differentiation of the components, which are partial derivatives of the KE with respect to the electron density, its gradient and Laplacian.

Evaluation of the bulk parameters of solid compounds.Solution method: High-order central finite-difference method and fast Fourier transform are used for calculation of different total energy components. Density optimization is performed with the steepest descent or the Polak–Ribière variant of the non-linear conjugate-gradient method with a line search procedure based on the Armijo condition. A numerical approach is used for structural optimization — the total energies with respect to small variations in lattice geometries are computed directly, with subsequent evaluation of the force components via a high-order central-finite difference method. The same numerical procedure is used for evaluation of bulk properties.Restrictions: Local pseudopotentials.

The Way Forward: Improving Interlibrary Loan Service Delivery at a Caribbean Academic Library

The Alma Jordan Library (AJL) is located on the St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago and is the largest academic library in the University of the West Indies' library system. This article examines interlibrary loan and document delivery (ILL/DD) services, discusses existing ILL/DD activities, and analyzes usage statistics at this Caribbean educational institution. It reviews the current literature that exists about ILL/DD in the Caribbean and other academic institutions outside the region. This article serves to add to the body of literature on this topic and provides practical recommendations for improving the current service.

Wild West Libraries: A Study of Southwest Kansas Public Libraries

Public Libraries developed and grew along with the United States. In southwest Kansas, money, materials, staffing, and distance have been factors in the growth of the public libraries, and they remain current factors as well. Library consortia have aided in this development and have helped solve small library problems. This article reports a 2008 survey of public libraries that are served by the Southwest Kansas Library System (SWKLS). The survey lays out the operating conditions of some of America's small libraries and shows the extent of their interrelationship with their consortium.

Interlending and document supply trends in NHS North West health libraries 2003/2004 to 2006/2007

The Library and Information for Health Network North West (LIHNN) represents health libraries in Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Isle of Man, Lancashire, Merseyside and Wirral. LIHNN members take part in a regional co-operative network supporting interlending and document supply. Data were analysed over a 4-year period to identify trends and patterns. In addition, a literature review was conducted to compare trends seen in NHS libraries to those trends seen in other sectors and in other countries. RESULTS/TRENDS: Between 2003/2004 and 2006/2007 there was a significant drop in document supply activity reported by NHS North West libraries from 59 321 to 37 134 copies, representing a fall of 37.4%. During the same period, lending between libraries stayed constant. The NHS supplies a significant number of documents to its users and it is investigating a number of options to increase efficiencies. The observed fall in document supply activity has been reported in several sectors and has been attributed to a number of cofactors. Although the fall in document supply activity is expected to continue, a critical mass of information is likely to remain behind subscription barriers and this, in turn, will necessitate supply from external sources.

In Silico analysis of Gastric carcinoma Serial Analysis of Gene Expression libraries reveals different profiles associated with ethnicity

Worldwide gastric carcinoma has marked geographical variations and worse outcome in patients from the West compared to the East. Although these differences has been explained by better diagnostic criteria, improved staging methods and more radical surgery, emerging evidence supports the concept that gene expression differences associated to ethnicity might contribute to this disparate outcome. Here, we collected datasets from 4 normal and 11 gastric carcinoma Serial Gene Expression Analysis (SAGE) libraries from two different ethnicities. All normal SAGE libraries as well as 7 tumor libraries were from the West and 4 tumor libraries were from the East. These datasets we compare by Correspondence Analysis and Support Tree analysis and specific differences in tags expression were identified by Significance Analysis for Microarray. Tags to gene assignments were performed by CGAP-SAGE Genie or TAGmapper. The analysis of global transcriptome shows a clear separation between normal and tumor libraries with 90 tags differentially expressed. A clear separation was also found between the West and the East tumor libraries with 54 tags differentially expressed. Tags to gene assignments identified 15 genes, 5 of them with significant higher expression in the West libraries in comparison to the East libraries. qRT-PCR in cell lines from west and east origin confirmed these differences. Interestingly, two of these genes have been associated to aggressiveness (COL1A1 and KLK10). In conclusion we found that in silico analysis of SAGE libraries from two different ethnicities reveal differences in gene expression profile. These expression differences might contribute to explain the disparate outcome between the West and the East.

Working at a Joint-Use Library

ABSTRACT The St. Lucie West Library, also known as the FAU Treasure Coast Campus Library, is a joint-use library facility, with Florida Atlantic University partnering with Indian River Community College and the St. Lucie County (FL) Library System. This article will discuss the circulation, course reserves, interlibrary loan, and collection management services of the three partners, as well as the training of new employees in this joint-use venture and the methods of managing the St. Lucie West Library. A list of suggestions for improving present and future joint-use libraries is included.

Scalable framework for 3D FFTs on the Blue Gene/L supercomputer: Implementation and early performance measurements

This paper presents results on a communications-intensive kernel, the three-dimensional fast Fourier transform (3D FFT), running on the 2,048-node Blue Gene®/L (BG/L) prototype. Two implementations of the volumetric FFT algorithm were characterized, one built on the Message Passing Interface library and another built on an active packet Application Program Interface supported by the hardware bring-up environment, the BG/L advanced diagnostics environment. Preliminary performance experiments on the BG/L prototype indicate that both of our implementations scale well up to 1,024 nodes for 3D FFTs of size 128 × 128 × 128. The performance of the volumetric FFT is also compared with that of the Fastest Fourier Transform in the West (FFTW) library. In general, the volumetric FFT outperforms a port of the FFTW Version 2.1.5 library on large-node-count partitions.

Access for all: assistive technology in West Sussex libraries

Through a successful bid to the People’s Network Excellence Fund, West Sussex Library Service was able to embark on a project to provide assistive technology through the network of 35 static libraries. This article describes the project and the hardware, software and accessories bought to create greater access for those with disabilities or learning difficulties.

IA, Therefore I Am

Les architectes de l'information, dont le role consiste a concevoir, structurer et organiser l'information sur le Web, afin de permettre sa navigation, sont en passe de constituer l'une des professions informationnelles cles du 21eme siecle. Les differences entre l'architecture de l'information et la bibliotheconomie traditionnelle montrent qu'il s'agit bien de deux disciplines differentes, confrontees a des problemes differents et pratiquees dans des contextes differents, mais qu'elles sont egalement complementaires et ont beaucoup a apprendre l'une de l'autre.

Implementing Kuhlthau: A new Model for Library and Reference Instruction

Carol Kuhlthau’s research on the information search process with students has had a big influence on librarians at the Arizona State University West Library. Her model of how students actually do research has been a revelation to some; it has verified for others what they “knew” but had not fully grasped. Her model has been fully integrated into a one‐hour credit course that supports a new writing certificate program and is being used experimentally in the library’s reference services. In this article, Isbell and Kammerlocher summarize Kuhlthau’s research and the information search process, present background on the one‐credit class, and describe how they are using the ISP model in the class and as a training tool for reference services. They conclude with plans for evaluation of their efforts and student outcomes assessment and future plans for working with the ISP model.

Applying serials & acquisitions skills on the “other side”

In June 1995, several librarians at the Fletcher Library of Arizona State University West resigned. The Library viewed this as an opportunity to examine the structure of the library and decided that the current contingent of librarians would assume the program responsibilities of the departing librarians on an interim basis. In addition to the author's regular responsibilities for serials acquisitions and serials management, she was given interim responsibility for management of the Journals/Microforms service programs and document delivery, as well as the supervision of the classified staff in that unit. She expected to draw upon her familiarity with serials and acquisitions, as well as previous supervisory experience, to maintain what is an important service point for the Library at ASU West. This paper will document the impact that decisions in serials acquisitions and control have on public service points and describe what impact this interim assignment in the public service sector will have on both the front-line and back-room operations at ASU West Library.

Libraries in Africa: Pioneers, Policies, Problems. By ANTHONY OLDEN. Lanham, MD., and London: Scarecrow Press, 1996 (UK agent: Shelwing Ltd., Folkestone). Pp. xx + 170. £35.65 (ISBN 0-8108-3093-0).

This expensive little book, originally a thesis for the University of Illinois, is an artless but sometimes perceptive account of certain library endeavours in British East and West Africa, based on archival and library research in Britain and the United States. It is not a history of libraries per se so much as a study of instances of external aid to the development of libraries beyond the sphere of teaching institutions. In the 1930s, one such source – as in so much of the English-speaking world – was the Carnegie Corporation. Grants to Kenya underpinned a system of circulating libraries, the depot for which was housed in the McMillan Memorial Library, Nairobi; membership was confined to whites until 1958. In Lagos, Alan Burns, as chief secretary, secured a grant to start an unsegregated but fee-charging library: in 1934 just 43 of its 481 members were African. The grant ended in 1935, but the library was still going forty years later.

The Study and Teaching of Jewish Ethics

48 SHOFAR THE STUDY AND TEACHING OF JEWISH ETHICS S. Daniel Breslauer S. Daniel Breslauer is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Kansas. The author of many studies on modern Jewish thought, he has written A New Jewish Ethics, Contemporary Jewish Ethics, and Modem Jewish Morality. Dr. Breslauer is Vice-President of the Midwest Jewish Studies Association. One of the most striking illustrations of Jewish ethics, that in the talmudic tractate Shabbat (31a), also provides pedagogic instruction. A non-Jew came to a prominent rabbi for instruction asking to be taught the entire Torah b'regaL achat, "while standing on one foot." One such teacher, Shammai , chased him away, beating him with the amat habinyan or builder's measuring stick he held in his hand. Another teacher, Hillel, gave him a cogent reply: that which is hateful to you, do not do to your haver (neighbor, fellow, companion); that is the entire Torah, the rest is pernsha (commentary), zit gemor (go and complete your study). Several questions arise in connection with Hillel's answer: who is the haver to whom you should not do something hateful, how is the rest of Torah pernsha on this saying, and what does the cryptic phrase ziL gemor entail?1 Even without decoding this entire statement, the story delineates the strikingly different pedagogies practiced by Shammai and Hillel. Shammai measures truth and sincerity. He drives off all who do not meet his criteria, IThe story and the details of Hillel's answer have inspired several important studies. See especially Asher Ginzberg (Ahad HaAm), "Between Two Opinions" in Kol KitveiAhad HaAm, seventh edition (Tel Aviv: Devir; Jerusalem: Jewish Publishing House, 1961), pp. 370-77; the essential pages are translated in Ahad HaAm: Essays, Letters, Memories, trans. and ed. by Leon Simon (Oxford: East and West Library, 1946), pp. 130-37; see the interchange in Modem Jewish Ethics: Theory and Practice, ed. Marvin Fox (Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 1975) consisting of Ernst Simon , "The Neighbor Whom We Shall Love," pp. 29-56 and Harold Fisch, "A Response to Ernst Simon," pp. 57-61; the discussion of this question of the "neighbor" to be loved in Shubert Spero, Morality, Halakha, and the Jewish Tradition (New York: Ktav, 1983), pp. 126--34, provides helpful background and detailed references; Spero's analysis of the "negative Golden Rule," pp 201-11 affirms Ahad HaAm's position. These studies, however, do not examine the "pedagogy" implied in the story. Volume 9, No.1 Fall1990 49 who do not measure up to the builder's rod he carries with him. Readers have little sympathy for Shammai in this anecdote. Later in the same text when he uses the same measuring rod to beat off a self-interested would-be proselyte, the reader, but not the author, may feel greater sympathy to him. Hillel, on the other hand, neither here nor in any of the later examples, chooses to judge his prospective student. Even when, or especially when, the student comes with little background and no preparation, Hillel accepts him for what he is, dealing with him ba'asher hu sham, as he is at that moment. Shammai's approach assumes that only already committed insiders can share Jewish learning; Hillel's approach opens the gates of Jewish knowledge to those merely curious or motivated by extraneous concerns. Hillel's formulation should be understood as a pitchon pelt, an opportunity to begin explaining Jewish religious teachings. In the light of this intention , the following interpretation of that dictum seeks to illuminate the meaning and dimensions of Jewish ethics; it does not intend to give a historicalor linguistic analysis to the phrase but to use it as an opportunity for elucidating four aspects of Jewish moral reflection. Teaching Jewish ethics in a secular university requires the same flexibility and openness of approach that Hillel exemplified in his response to non-Jews. Teachers must begin from the presuppositions and assumptions of the students and lead them to a gradual awareness of the distinctiveness ofJewish ethical thinking. Four Dimensions ofJewish Ethics Hillel's response to the heathen's question, unlike Shammai's, did not begin with a definition of Jewish ethics, with an...

The Role of External Aid in West African Library Development

International agencies, bilateral assistance programs, individual institutions, and philanthropic foundations have contributed to improving West African library service in a variety of ways. Four basic categories of library aid can be identified, depending on whether outside resources are directed toward: (1) personnel development, (2) collection development, (3) library construction, or (4) multipurpose projects. Selected examples of each type of assistance are discussed in order to place library assistance projects within the broader context of the relationship between developed countries and the Third World.
