On the print out there are three sections:

Tests involving the between subjects effects
Tests involving the within subjects effects
Averaged tests of sigificance

Can anyone explain the difference in the last two of these?
When would one use one over the other?

Subject:      Comparison of respondents to non-respondents or Population?

Hello,

This seems to me to be a very simple question, but one which I have
tended to waffle on for too long.  It's not really an SPSS question,
but I thought I would ask since many of you are very good statisticians.
Hope you don't mind.

The survey work that I do often involves surveying an entire population
of students.  Therefore, there isn't any sampling, just a potential
for response bias.   The question is, should I compare the respondents
to the characteristics of non-respondents (known for some varaibles such
as GPA, SATVER, etc...) or to the characteristics of the population?

Generally, the question is wether the respondents are representative
of the population, but I also get somewhat hung-up on the question
of whether there is a difference between respondents and non-respondents.
After all, comparing respondents to the entire population is comparing
respondents to _themselves_ AND the non-respondents.  Still, it seems
equally valid to explore differences between those who did and did not
respond.

Any suggestions?

If the opinion being referred to is the basic unimportance of our
professional degree - there are many who do not agree with you -
including myself.
I do not overlook the intelligence and integrity of all the non-
librarian Librarians of Congress.  But I feel that they could have done
a better job of moving our premier library and our profession
forward if they had the understanding of our profession that
professional education brings with it.  LC has very seldom provided
the leadership in the profession that it could have if it had been
led by someone who valued the profession and what it can do for
society.

I agree with Cynthia.  We also allow consultants to use the library,
including literature search services.  It is in the company's best interest
to provide the consultant with the best information available so that
they can make intelligent recommendations.  If we don't do it, either they
will hire an independent information broker, muck around trying to find
the information themselves, or simply do without the information.  Any
of these three is going to be much more expensive to the company than to
have the library do the work.

We do inform the person who hired the consultant that the consultant has
requested the work from us and frequently send a copy of the research to
the employee so that we don't have situtations where the consultant is
simply repackaging the library's work.

 I would appreciate receiving a copy of position descriptions for the
 following. For those Reference Departments that have a clearly defined
 position of Desk Coordinator, I would like to know what the duties and
 responsiblities of that position are; specifically, whether that person
 performs evaluations of Reference desk performance. I would also like to know
 what other facets of the position are, and whether or not that individual
 receives any sort of administrative supplement for the position.

 For those Reference Departments that incorporate paraprofessional, support or
 student staffing, in addition to reference librarians, I would like to receive
 copies of position descriptions for those staff, especially those descriptions
 that might delineate any particular "level" or type of service performed by
 persons in that category. Thanks.

How are other reference librarians measuring and/or reporting

	2)  the impact services make on the individual patron

These are issues we are being asked to address in the endless pursuit of

I am interested in learning of specific techniques currently used, as well
as any ideas that are being considered!  The focus is the unit, not the
individual librarian.

Thanks for your help!  I will summarize to the list.

This should not be too surprising, after all, look at the credentials of
the Librarian of Congress. He's got a lot of initials after his name, but
M.L.S. is not one of them. If his name escapes you, its James H(adley)
Billington. Check the Who's Who and see what you find.

Subject:      Re: need advice

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Hello!

To an organic chemist, Beilstein is a very significant reference work.  Without
knowing anything about your faculty and students, I couldn't recommend whether
or not to withdraw the volumes.  Each library's needs are different.  Perhaps
you might want to discuss it with any chemists on your faculty and see if they
use the set, and if so, how much.

If you decide to withdraw them, you might consider offering them to
other libraries or something, rather than trashing them.  In this branch, I
recently replaced worn-out copies of the basic set and the first two
supplements and very quickly had an offer from another Penn State campus to
take the cast-off copies.

Beilstein is still being published and is currently in its fifth
supplementary series.  It is also available in electronic formats.

The volumes you describe sound like they might possibly be the basic set and/or
the first two supplementary series.  The basic set has "Band" or volume numbers
(Band I, Band II, etc.); the supplementary series also have Band numbers, but
they are also identified as"erstes Erganzungswerk" or "zweites Erganzungswerk"
(first or second supplementary series.)

I hope this information helps.  There is a chemical information list-serv; you
might post a question there and see if anyone else has any ideas.  (It's at
chminf-l@iubvm.  Gary Wiggins is the list owner.)

The opinions expressed here are mine.
