Authors: Khaidir Khaidir , Zara Noviana , Ikhsan Ridhalul
Published: July 2022

Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) adalah infeksi yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue. Virus Dengue ditularkan dari orang ke orang melalui gigitan nyamuk Aedes Spp. World Health Organization (WHO, 2011) melaporkan bahwa setiap tahunnya 50 juta penduduk dunia terinfeksi virus dengue dan 2,5% dari mereka meninggal dunia. Data dari seluruh dunia menunjukkan Asia menempati urutan pertama dalam jumlah penderita DBD setiap tahunnya. Sementara itu, terhitung sejak tahun 1968 hingga tahun 2009, WHO mencatat Negara Indonesia sebagai Negara dengan kasus DBD tertinggi di Asia Tenggara. Berdasarkan data Kementerian Kesehatan (2017), kasus DBD berjumlah 68.407 kasus dengan jumlah kematian sebanyak 493 orang. Tahun 2017 terdapat jumlah kasus DBD di Aceh sebanyak 2.950 kasus, meningkat dibandingkan jumlah kasus tahun 2016 (2.631 kasus). Penderita DBD di Kabupaten Aceh Utara mencapai 108 kasus pada tahun 2016. Kejadian DBD di puskesmas Muara Batu mencapai 30 orang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran kejadian demam berdarah dengue di Puskesmas Muara Batu tahun 2019 yang di lakukan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Sampel dalam penelitianya itu sebanyak 130 responden, yang diambil dengan metode total sampling. Hasil analisis univariat didapatkan kejadian demam tifoid tertinggi pada usia 17-25 tahun (40%), jenis kelamin perempuan (63,3%), berpendidikan rendah (93,3%), dan tidak bekerja (63,3%).
The impact of organizational justice and trust on knowledge sharing behaviour
Authors: Sabahattin Cetin , Davarci Merve , Karakas Ayhan
Published: July 2022

The spread of knowledge sharing provides advantages to organizations in developing new solutions to problems along with a broader informational infrastructure. For this reason, it is important to know the factors affecting the knowledge sharing behaviour of individuals. The study examined the impact of employees’ perceptions of organizational justice and trust on knowledge sharing behaviour. The theories of organizational justice, organizational trust and knowledge sharing behavior constitute the methodological framework of the research. Within the scope of the study, data were collected from 421 participants (68 managers and 353 employees) working in public and private sectors in Bartin province (Turkey), using survey method. Within the scope of the study, organizational justice is divided into four sub-dimensions (procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational), and the construct of trust includes two sub-dimensions – trust in the manager and in the organization as a whole. As a result of the study, while no significant relationship was found between procedural justice, distributive justice and knowledge sharing, it was found between interpersonal justice, informational justice and knowledge sharing. In addition, a positive and significant relationship was found between trust in the manager, trust in the organization and knowledge sharing behaviour. According to the findings, it is seen that organizational trust has an important role in the exhibition of knowledge sharing behaviour; as the level of trust in organizations increases, knowledge sharing behaviour is positively affected. At the same time, informational and interpersonal justice dimensions affect knowledge sharing behaviour more than distributive and procedural justice. It is emerging that organizations should give more importance to justice’s informational and interpersonal dimensions.

Training the Trainers: Creating A Workshop on Teaching Chemical Information
Authors: Huber Charles F. , Baysinger Grace
Published: July 2022

Even in this era of powerful electronic resources designed for end-user chemists, there is still a need for many types of chemical information instruction. To help meet these needs, the Education Committee of the ACS Division of Chemical Information (CINF) has sponsored workshops on teaching chemical information at ACS National Meetings, regional meetings and at the Biennial Conference on Chemical Education. These workshops, developed and taught for the most part by Arleen Somerville (Carlson Library, University of Rochester) and Dr. Adrienne Kozlowski (Department of Chemistry, Central Connecticut State University) have proven very successful. In an effort to reach new audiences, the CINF Education Committee joined forces with the Chemistry Division of the Special Libraries Association to offer the workshop as a Continuing Education course at the 1997 SLA Annual Meeting in Seattle. The authors, Grace Baysinger and Chuck Huber, volunteered to adapt the existing workshop and teach it at Seattle. This paper is not a recapitulation of the contents of the workshop, but rather a description of the process we went through in designing our workshop and how it reflects some of the lessons we thought were valuable in teaching chemical information in general.
Searching Science from the Office: Science and Engineering Workshops
Authors: Martorana Janet , Meszaros Rosemary L.
Published: July 2022

Like most other academic libraries, UCSB has established a Fall tradition of presenting orientations to library resources and services to new graduate students and faculty. The sciences and engineering librarians decided this year to focus on the electronic products and services that we can offer centering on remote access services. The library has increased the number of online databases and services accessible via the world wide web. Thousands of our undergraduate students have participated in hands-on orientations to library resources such as the databases on MELVYL Ž, the University of California's online system. We perceived a need to direct the attention of our graduate students, especially the new graduate students, and faculty to what the library offers them through electronic means. In addition to online databases, book or journal recommendations, interlibrary loan requests, and direct inter-campus borrowing requests may be accessed through the forms available on InfoSurf. However, since their introduction, the usage of these web-based forms has been relatively light compared to the in-person requests. In addition, we were eager to demonstrate enhancements such as the full text electronic journals, search capabilities of BIOSIS, and the images available on INSPEC through an IEEE/UC innovative project. In several planning conferences, the sciences and engineering librarians outlined the approach to attract as many participants as possible. We formulated our strategy. Reduced to the essentials, they are: Planning, Preparation and Publicity, Presentation and Post-workshop Evaluation.

The Development and Use of a Genre Statement for Electronic Journals in the Sciences
Authors: Weintraub Jennifer
Published: July 2022

Selection of web-based resources affects every division of the academic library. Collection policies are changing to reflect the complex array of criteria and issues driving selection decisions. I propose to present a new form of collection policy -- the genre statement -- designed to aid the library organization as a whole in coping with the shift to digital publishing. Specifically, I would like to present a genre statement on electronic journals, focusing on selection criteria, selection strategy, access issues, and the future status of electronic journals in the sciences. The genre statement complements the traditional subject-based collection policy, providing guidelines and criteria for selection of a particular type of information resource, such as electronic journals, regardless of the particular subject matter. In addition to detailing policy guidelines and selection criteria, the genre statement serves as a summary, updated annually, of the state of the art of the library's program in selecting, delivering, organizing, and servicing a particular class of electronic publications.
I propose to discuss the major components of electronic journal genre statement for the Albert R. Mann Library. First, I will delineate principles of collection development as they relate to electronic journals, including evaluation of the advantages of electronic access, how electronic journals affect the scope and nature of collecting, and the minimum standards for user access, functionality, and organization of information. I will then present the selection criteria, touching on traditional criteria, such as subject scope and quality of the journal, as well as new concerns, such as the commitment to the privacy of electronic journal readers. A third section describes the selection strategy for scientific electronic journals, including the key selection tools and sources used (print and electronic) in identifying electronic journals for consideration. Finally, the genre statement documents the present and future status of electronic journals in our collection, such as explicating the issues we are wrestling with to mainstream electronic journals into our collection, including pricing models and contractual issues and their impact on the work of other divisions of the library.

Authors: Bachrach Steven M. , Burleigh Darin C. , Krassivine Anatoli
Published: July 2022

The development of the Internet as a means for mass communication affords scientists an opportunity to re-evaluate the way they communicate scientific results. The computer is no longer just a way for preparing a conventional print article but is an electronic publication medium in its own right. In this article, we will discuss how our new journal, the Internet Journal of Chemistry, is designed to take advantage of the new technologies available in this electronic medium. We will discuss the development of our concept of an electronic journal, our decision on the scope and coverage of the journal, the financial logistics, and how the journal will be implemented. Woven within will be our perspectives on how the technologies may be utilized and how this new medium compares with traditional print publication.

Taking Local Resources Global: The NCSTRL Experience at UC Berkeley Library
Authors: Jensen Ann M.
Published: July 2022

NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Report Library) is an international collection of computer science technical reports from over 100 academic and industrial research institutions. Using Dienst software which was developed at Cornell University specifically for the NCSTRL project, these distributed collections are searchable as an integrated collection from anywhere in the world. At most participating institutions, the technical reports are mounted and maintained on NCSTRL by staff in the computer science or research departments. Early in 1997, the UC Berkeley Library began a partnership with the UCB CS department, whereby the Library took over this function. This paper will discuss UC Berkeley Library's experience in taking over as the provider of these technical reports. It will include a brief non-technical description of NCSTRL, a discussion of the expectations of the Library and reasons for our proposal, the benefits, costs and technical challenges to the library in both development and maintenance of the data, evaluation of the benefits to the user group, and conclusions about the effectiveness of the library as the provider of local research reports for a World Wide Web audience.

Changing Roles for Science & Technology Librarians As Reflected in the History of Engineering Index
Authors: Youngman Daryl C.
Published: July 2022

The role of the science & technology librarians has evolved over more than a century. The first members of our profession were valued primarily for their clerical services. Patron service today involves the use of a broad spectrum of complex information tools, coupled with the librarian's understanding of the literature, the research process and specific patron needs. The history of Engineering Index, beginning in 1884 and continuing to the present, provides a context for examining how the practice of user service in science and technology libraries has changed over a period of more than a century. While the goal of excellent information service has remained a constant, the nature of the tools and the role of the librarian has changed markedly.
The National Research Library Alliance: A Federal Consortium Formed to Provide Inter-Agency Access to Scientific Information
Authors: Stackpole Laurie E. , Atkinson Roderick D.
Published: July 2022

This article outlines the circumstances that led to the formation in the Spring of 1997 of the National Research Library Alliance (NRLA), a consortium of federal libraries. It discusses some of the issues that face organizations when they attempt to act collectively and the need for vendors and libraries to work cooperatively to solve the inherent problems associated with a consortium model. The NRLA's first joint procurement, a license to mount one of the Institute of Scientific Information's "Web of Science" databases, was finalized in July 1997. This procurement, which provides some 5,000 researchers at four institutions with web access to Science Citation Index Expanded, is used throughout the article to illustrate some typical problems that arise when diverse institutions attempt to work in unison, as well as to illustrate the benefits that result from forming partnerships to license critical information resources.

Validating Journal Cancellation Decisions in the Sciences: A Report Card
Authors: Duda Andrea L. (Andrea Louise) , Meszaros Rosemary L.
Published: July 2022

Few libraries have remained unaffected by the serials pricing crisis of the past several years. The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Library has conducted five serials cancellations projects since 1987 -- 1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, and 1996. Each round of cancellations cut closer to the core journals in all of the disciplines. This paper uses almost ten years of interlibrary loan data for statistical and comparative analyses documenting the impact of these cuts. Scholars in the sciences depend on current information. In an effort to fulfill the need for science journal literature in an environment of serials cancellations, several science and engineering libraries in the University of California system began an experimental pilot project dubbed the "Fax Project."

Evolutionary Ecology Research (EER) and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) have set out to show authors that they have options when it comes to publishing their research -- that by publishing in independent or society-sponsored journals they directly support their own profession. Overall, SPARC aims to create competition for the high priced journals, so that libraries have options when subscription renewals come due. "SPARC and its partners are out to change the landscape of academic publishing," said Rick Johnson, SPARC Enterprise Director. "Scholarly communications will not flourish unless there is an alternative to paying thousands of dollars for a single scientific journal."
Consortia Building and Electronic Licensing as Vehicles for Re-Engineering Academic Library Services: The Case of the Technical Knowledge Center and Library of Denmark (DTV)
Authors: Bjørnshauge Lars
Published: July 2022

The Technical Knowledge Center and Library of Denmark (DTV) has broken the vicious circle of zero growth funding, price increases, and journal cancellations. It required concentrated efforts in consortia building, electronic licensing, phasing out paper editions, staff reductions, as well as investments in staff education and development of integrated electronic services. Now the users at the Technical University of Denmark have easier access to much more content for the same funding. The developments have given rise to new forms of co-operation with publishers and other libraries in the region. This paper outlines the re-engineering plan and highlights effects on services and staff. The DTV approach to re-engineering has attracted considerable international attention (Butler 1999).

Local Citation Analysis of Graduate Biology Theses: Collection Development Implications.
Authors: Miller Laura Newton
Published: July 2022

This paper will focus on the citation analysis of graduate masters theses from Carleton University's Biology Department with implications for library collection management decisions. Twenty-five masters theses were studied to determine citation types and percentages, ranking of journals by frequency of citation and by number of authors citing, and by age range of journal citations. The researcher examined what percentages of journals were accessible through the local catalogue and conducted further analysis of specifics regarding unavailability. Journals were also ranked by subject specialty. Results indicate that although the library has many of the journal articles cited, knowing why a citation was unavailable is useful for establishing future purchasing needs. Although journal rankings are traditionally performed using total number of citations, the ranking by number of authors citing a source can make a difference when compiling core journal lists. The researcher concludes by discussing implications for collection development in times of fiscal constraint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Career Motivations of the Scientist-Turned-Librarian: A Secondary Analysis of WILIS Data.
Authors: Walker Shannon
Published: July 2022

What might motivate someone with a natural science degree to forgo the lab and pursue a non-traditional career in librarianship? Are there differences between LIS graduates with and without a science degree that might impact recruitment strategies? An analysis of data from a longitudinal career study, "Workforce Issues in Library and Information Science," sought to answer these questions. When compared to their peers with degrees in other fields, science graduates were similar in social motivation, service ethos, desired working conditions, and nearly all other variables. Science graduates were much more likely to cite interest in computers as a motivation to pursue LIS studies. Those with natural science degrees also showed a strong preference for research-oriented settings such as academic and special libraries versus school and public libraries. In addition, science graduates reported greater involvement in professional research and publications than those with degrees in other fields. In multiple ways, science graduates who entered library school expressed a desire to bring their knowledge of science and passion for analytical thinking to a new career. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

E-Science Librarianship: Field Undefined.
Authors: Alvaro Elsa , Ham Monica , Rosencrans Sarah
Published: July 2022

The potential of librarians working in e-science, a term for using the Internet and other digital tools to facilitate scientific data collection, management, and sharing, has been the cause of much discussion. Many professionals agree that librarians could participate in or facilitate e-science tasks. This article explores what e-science librarianship is by examining the skills and requirements from job advertisements for e-science related library positions. After reflecting on the sample of job advertisements, the analysis of the sample, and the use of the word e-science itself, the authors conclude that e-science librarianship is at present not a defined field and that the role of librarians in e-science is nebulous.

Informing Food Protection Education: A Project to Define and Classify Resources for a Cross-Disciplinary Expert Community.
Authors: Schenck-Hamlin Donna , Pierquet Jennifer , McClellan Chuck
Published: July 2022

In the wake of the September 2001 attacks, the U.S. government founded the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with responsibility to develop a National Infrastructure Protection Plan for securing critical infrastructures and key resources. DHS established interdisciplinary networks of academic expertise administered through Centers of Excellence across the country, each addressing a different aspect of homeland defense. The National Center for Food Protection and Defense (NCFPD), created in 200: organized over 150 experts around five theme groups: Agent Behavior, Event Modeling, Systems Strategies, Risk Communication, and Educational Programs. The fifth theme group, Educational Programs, was the focus of a special library project to assist experts in delivering "high-quality education and training programs to develop a cadre of professionals equipped to deal with future threats to the food system." An initial database provided National Center for Food Protection and Defense experts with a listing of educational resources and their uniform resource locators (URLs). In 2009, NCFPD formed a team of librarians and subject experts to finalize the framework for a working collection of food protection educational resources. The framework consisted of 1) a scope of work for the database, 2) descriptive metadata elements and classification decisions, and 3) a vetting instrument to maintain the utility and currency of selected information. This paper describes the work performed by the database team to create criteria for inclusion and classification of resources consistent with NCFPD end-users' evolving needs. A content validity method is described that was used to gauge whether the team's conceptual definition of the domain of information was congruent with that of the expert community being served.

Library Video Tutorials to Support Large Undergraduate Labs: Will They Watch?
Authors: Colosimo April L. , Kasuto Emily
Published: July 2022

Video tutorials were designed for students working on a General Chemistry scientific inquiry laboratory in 2008, as a supplement to in-class instruction from a librarian. In 2010, with no opportunity to provide in-class instruction, one of the videos was redesigned and offered to assist students with the exercise. In both years, students were asked to provide feedback on the usefulness of the videos and their willingness to watch library tutorials in general. This study compares feedback from 2008 (533 respondents) to 2010 (850 respondents). The changes in circumstances had little effect on student attitudes towards this mode of teaching.

Using ISI Web of Science to Compare Top-Ranked Journals to the Citation Habits of a "Real World" Academic Department.
Authors: Cusker Jeremy
Published: July 2022

Quantitative measurements can be used to yield lists of top journals for individual fields. However, these lists represent assessments of the entire "universe" of citation. A much more involved process is needed if the goal is to develop a nuanced picture of what a specific group of authors, such as an academic department, is citing. This article presents a method for using ISI Web of Science in conjunction with spreadsheet management to compare lists of top journals from ISI and Eigenfactor with the journal titles that a list of authors are citing in their own publications. The resulting data can be used in collection development, departmental contacts, and in assessing the research interests of an academic department. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Scholarish: Google Scholar and its Value to the Sciences
Authors: Gray Jerry E. , Hamilton Michelle C. , Hauser Alexandra , Janz Margaret M. , Peters Justin P. , Taggart Fiona
Published: July 2022

In scientific and academic circles, the value of Google Scholar as an information resource has received much scrutiny. Numerous articles have examined its search ability, but few have asked whether it has the accuracy, authority and currency to be trustworthy enough for scholars. This article takes a look at reliability factors that go into Google Scholar citation counts, selection of resources, and its commercial partnerships. Research data culled from correspondence with Google Scholar, analysis of citation metrics, metadata and search processes, and an appraisal of its strengths and weaknesses compared to other science-specific indexes led to the conclusion that Google Scholar may be useful for initial and supplemental information gathering, but lacks a deeper reliability than other existing services currently provide scholars. Advice is offered to science librarians about how to regard Google Scholar as a research tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Authors: King Art , Simboli Brian , Rom Kevin
Published: July 2022

The "Data for Research" (DfR) service facilitates bibliometric studies of key terms and phrases that appear in the full text of JSTOR articles. This platform provides faceted searches that supplement JSTOR's standard search engine, exemplifying how a full text data base enables data mining for the average end-user. We provide a comparison with existing full-text databases, illustrate the mathematization of economics, and suggest a few possible future enhancements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Are We Spending Too Much on Print STEM Monographs? A Method and Analysis for Improving Monograph Allocations Based on Circulation Statistics.
Authors: Nabe Jonathan
Published: July 2022

Circulation studies provide evidence of demand for monographs, but it is necessary to determine the goal of any analysis in order to select which statistics will be used. The goal of this analysis was to determine the appropriateness of expenditures on monographs within the STEM fields at Morris Library over a ten-year period. Percentage of unique title circulation and average circulation per title are best suited for this purpose. Results show variation among disciplines, but over-expenditure in all. Analysis of disciplines can aid in determining appropriate allocations for monographs, and analysis of subdisciplines can aid in targeting monograph acquisitions within any discipline.

Outreach to Science Faculty and Students Through Research Exhibitions.
Authors: Chan Tina , Hebblethwaite Chris
Published: July 2022

Penfield Library at the State University of New York at Oswego (SUNY Oswego) has a gallery exhibit space near the front entrance that is used to showcase student-faculty research and art class projects. This article features the library's outreach efforts to science faculty and students through research exhibitions. The library held an exhibition for science research posters in Fall 2012 and Spring 2014. Requests were sent to science faculty inviting them to feature their student-faculty research posters in the library. The first request received 13 posters; the second request received 14. Research posters were displayed in the gallery exhibit space and inside the library cafe. We also discuss the hanging system used to display the posters. Having research posters displayed in the library in a visible, central, and active location, provided greater visibility to the broader campus community to view the latest research from science students and faculty.

A Survey of Physical Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics Faculty Regarding Author Fees in Open Access Journals.
Authors: Cusker Jeremy , Rauh Anne E.
Published: July 2022

Discussions of the potential of open access publishing frequently must contend with the skepticism of research authors regarding the need to pay author fees (also known as publication fees). With that in mind, the authors undertook a survey of faculty, postdocs, and graduate students in physical science, mathematics, and engineering fields at two research universities (Cornell University and Syracuse University) asking for their experience with and opinion of paying author fees for publication of research in open access journals. The results of this survey indicated that most respondents had not decided against publishing in an open access journal due to the author fee requirement. Those who had paid them only requested or received coverage for those fees in grant line-items or from institutional sources in a few cases. Responses seemed to combine cautious optimism about open access journals with intense skepticism about their quality and intense opposition to the idea of having to pay any additional costs from their own pockets.

Factors in Science Journal Cancellation Projects: The Roles of Faculty Consultations and Data.
Authors: Williamson Jeanine , Fernandez Peter , Dixon Lana
Published: July 2022

The economic downturn of 2007-08 forced many academic libraries in the United States to cancel journals. We surveyed life sciences librarians from ARL libraries to find out about their experiences with journal cancellations during 2008-12. Overall, we discovered that two factors were essential in decision-making: faculty consultations and data. While faculty consultations and data have always been influential in journal cancellations, our survey allowed us to explore what roles these two factors played in the recent period of necessary reductions.
