Disrupting Education Federalism
Authors: Robinson Kimberly J.
Published: July 2018

The ongoing expansion of federal influence over education in the United States provides a particularly salient time to consider how education federalism should be structured to achieve the nation's education goals. One ofthe nation's unfulfilled and yet essential education goals is to ensure that all students receive equal access to an excellent education. A variety of scholars and, most recently, the federal Equity and Excellence Commission have offered proposals for advancing this goal. By building on this growing momentum for reform,I argue that disrupting the nation's longstanding approach to education federalism-which I define as the balance of power between federal, state, and local governments that emphasizes substantial state autonomy over education- is necessary for a successful national effort to achieve this goal. I then provide a foundational theory for strengthening the federal role in education by analyzing the essential elements of a successful reform effort based upon research regarding the strengths of federal education policymaking and upon identification of the missing elements of current reforms. Finally, I respond to many of the potential arguments against disrupting education federalism. For instance, I argue that National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius continues to provide ample room for Congress to expand the federal role in education in ways that are needed to build a more equitable education system. I also explain that although strengthening the federal role in education will reduce some forms of state and local control over education, it also will provide states and localities new forms of control.
Private Wealth and Public Goods: A Case for a National Investment Authority
Authors: Hockett Robert C. , Omarova Saule T.
Published: July 2018

Much American electoral and policy debate now centers on how best to reignite the nation’s economic dynamism and rebuild its competitive strength. Any such undertaking presents an extraordinary challenge, demanding a correspondingly extraordinary institutional response. This Article proposes precisely such a response. It designs and advocates a new public instrumentality--a National Investment Authority (“NIA”)--charged with the critical task of devising and implementing a comprehensive long-term development strategy for the United States.Patterned in part after the New Deal-era Reconstruction Finance Corporation, in part after modern sovereign wealth funds, and in part after private equity and venture capital firms, the NIA is an inherently hybrid, public-private entity that combines the unique strengths of public instrumentalities--their vast scale, lengthy investment horizons, and explicit backing by the public’s full faith and credit--with the micro-informational advantages of private market actors. By creatively adapting familiar tools of financial and legal engineering, the NIA overcomes obstacles that ordinarily impede or discourage private investment in critically necessary and even transformative public infrastructure goods. By channeling presently speculative private capital back into the real economy, moreover, the NIA plays an important role in enhancing the resilience and stability of the U.S. and global financial systems.The Article makes original contributions not only to contemporary policy debates over how to revive America’s productive prowess and bring its financial system back into the service of the real economy, but also to current theoretical understandings of “public goods,” “market failures,” and how to provide or address them. It offers an account of what it calls “collective goods”--a broader category than orthodox public goods--as solutions to collective action problems that pervade decentralized markets, hence as goods that can be supplied only through exercises of collective agency. Our NIA proposal operationalizes this theoretical insight by elaborating a specific institutional form that such collective agency can take.
Access to the Justices' Papers: A Better Balance
Authors: deMaine Susan David
Published: July 2018

With the exception of official court records, the papers generated by the Supreme Court justices in their work for the Court are and have always been considered private property. As a result, the justices’ treatment of these documents is idiosyncratic, ranging from outright destruction to lengthy restrictions to quick release. Adding the perspective of archivists and librarians, this paper explores the history of the justices’ papers and questions of access, the public’s interest in understanding the Court and its decisions, and the effect of the justices’ papers on scholarship and popular research. Several options for encouraging greater openness are proposed.
Parochial Procedure
Authors: Gardner Maggie
Published: July 2018

69 Stanford Law Review 941 (2017)The federal courts are often accused of being too parochial, favoring U.S. parties over foreigners and U.S. law over relevant foreign or international law. According to what this Article terms the “parochial critique,” the courts’ U.S.-centrism generates unnecessary friction with allies, regulatory conflict, and access-to-justice gaps. This parochialism is assumed to reflect the preferences of individual judges: persuade judges to like international law and transnational cases better, the standard story goes, and the courts will reach more cosmopolitan results.This Article challenges that assumption. I argue instead that parochial doctrines can develop even in the absence of parochial judges. Our sometimes-parochial procedure may be the unintended result of decisionmaking pressures that mount over time within poorly designed doctrines. As such, it reflects not so much the personal views of individual judges, but the limits of institutional capacity, the realities of behavioral decisionmaking, and the path dependence of the common law. This Article shows how open-ended decisionmaking in the midst of complexity encourages the use of heuristics that tend to emphasize the local, the familiar, and the concrete. These decisionmaking shortcuts, by disfavoring the foreign, put a parochial thumb on the scale—but that tilt is not limited to individual cases. Rather, it is locked in and amplified through the accumulation of precedent, as later judges rely on existing decisions to resolve new cases. Over time, even judges with positive conceptions of international law and transnational order will find themselves, in applying these doctrines, consistently favoring U.S. litigants over foreigners and U.S. law over foreign or international law.To explore this theory, the Article traces the evolution of four procedural doctrines: discovery of foreign evidence, forum non conveniens, service of process abroad, and the recognition of foreign judgments. The decisionmaking pressures outlined here can explain why the first two (framed as open-ended standards) are often criticized as parochial while the latter two (framed in more rule-like terms) are not. And if that account is at least plausible, it supports the primary claim of the Article: that the occasional parochialism of our courts does not necessarily reflect the personal prejudices of our judges. If so, then avoiding the costs of parochialism will require structural, not just personal, solutions.

Physician Encounters with Human Trafficking: Legal Consequences and Ethical Considerations
Authors: Todres Jonathan
Published: July 2018

There is growing recognition and evidence that health care professionals regularly encounter - though they may not identify - victims of human trafficking in a variety of health care settings. Identifying and responding appropriately to trafficking victims or survivors requires not only training in trauma-informed care but also consideration of the legal and ethical issues that arise when serving this vulnerable population. This essay examines three areas of law that are relevant to this case scenario: criminal law, with a focus on conspiracy; service provider regulations, with a focus on mandatory reporting laws; and human rights law. In addition to imposing a legal mandate, the law can inform ethical considerations about how health care professionals should respond to human trafficking.Originally published as: Jonathan Todres, Physician Encounters with Human Trafficking, 19 AMA J.

Best Practices in Document Design
Authors: Dimitri James D.
Published: July 2018

James D. Dimitri, Best Practices in Document Design, Res Gestae, May 2014, at 24Skillful writers think very carefully about what their readers want from documents written for those readers. Often, this consideration is confined to the substance of the writer’s message to the reader — in other words, what the writer will say to the reader. But a good writer also considers how that message will be communicated to the reader. This “how” includes the appearance of the document in which the message is conveyed, including the typeface and spacing used for the text in the document.As lawyers, our readers are often “law-trained” readers, such as other lawyers and judges. Like other accomplished writers, we lawyers carefully consider what we’re going to say to these readers in the memoranda and briefs we write for them. But how often do we truly consider how we’re going to convey our message to them? How often do we ponder what an effective memo or brief should look like rather than merely what it should say?Good document design is a key skill for attorneys to learn. Long gone is the era in which document design was constrained by the limited capabilities of the typewriter. In the digital world of the 21st century, word processing applications give us the basic tools that professional typographers use, allowing us to create documents that are aesthetically pleasing and easier to read. This article will discuss basic document design principles that will allow you to more effectively convey your message to a law-trained reader.
Clarity, Surprises, and Further Questions in the Article 29 Working Party Draft Guidance on Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Authors: Veale Michael , Edwards Lilian
Published: July 2018

Cite as: Michael Veale and Lilian Edwards, 'Clarity, Surprises, and Further Questions in the Article 29 Working Party Draft Guidance on Automated Decision-Making and Profiling' (forthcoming) Computer Law and Security ReviewThe new Article 29 Data Protection Working Party’s draft guidance on automated decision-making and profiling seeks to clarify the European data protection (DP) law’s little-used right to prevent automated decision-making, as well as the provisions around profiling more broadly, in the run-up to the General Data Protection Regulation. In this paper, we analyse these new guidelines in the context of recent scholarly debates and technological concerns. They foray into the less-trodden areas of bias and non-discrimination, the significance of advertising, the nature of “solely” automated decisions, impacts upon groups and the inference of special categories of data — at times, appearing more to be making or extending rules than to be interpreting them. At the same time, they provide only partial clarity — and perhaps even some extra confusion — around both the much discussed “right to an explanation” and the apparent prohibition on significant automated decisions concerning children. The Working Party appear to feel less mandated to adjudicate in these conflicts between the recitals and the enacting articles than to explore altogether new avenues. Nevertheless, the directions they choose to explore are particularly important ones for the future governance of machine learning and artificial intelligence in Europe and beyond.
Judicial Oversight of Surveillance: The Case of Ireland in Comparative Perspective
Authors: McIntyre TJ
Published: July 2018

This chapter examines how judicial oversight can regulate state surveillance, with a particular focus on Irish, European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and European Union (EU) law.It begins by considering the general arguments for judicial oversight and the types of oversight structures which can be used, from ex ante authorisation to ex post review and the variants in between.It then examines the extent to which Irish, ECHR and EU law require judicial oversight in particular circumstances - particularly in light of the landmark decision of the Court of Justice in Digital Rights Ireland v. Minister for Communications invalidating the Data Retention Directive.Next, it takes as a case study the Irish experience of data retention and discusses how judicial oversight of data retention has operated and why it has failed to secure the rights of the individual.It concludes with suggestions for improving the effectiveness of judicial oversight surveillance.
Accidental Privacy Spills
Authors: Grimmelmann James
Published: July 2018

Journal of Internet Law, July 2008The realm of privacy law has more crimes than criminals, more wrongs than wrongdoers. Some invasions of privacy are neither intentional nor negligent; it's easy to recognize the harm, but hard to pin the blame.Laurie Garrett attended the World Economic Forum as a journalist and wrote a private email to a few close friends, only to see that email end up on a widely-read weblog.This essay tells the story of that inevitable accident: an "accident" in that it needn't have happened, but "inevitable" in that there's no principled way to prevent similar misunderstandings from recurring, again and again and again. The essay considers social, technical, and legal responses, but concludes that none of them can prevent the informal forwarding behavior that led to the leak of Garrett's email without cutting off many overwhelmingly beneficial uses of email. The consequences for privacy and democracy may be unfortunate.
"A Period of Consequences"': Global Warming Legislation, Cooperative Federalism, and the Fight Between the EPA and the State of California
Authors: Cox Krista L.
Published: July 2018

In 2005, California enacted Assembly Bill 1493, also known as the Pavley Bill which set out to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicular sources. For the Pavley Bill to take effect, however, California needed a waiver of Clean Air Act preemption. Two years after California’s request, the EPA, in an unprecedented move, denied the waiver. California promptly filed suit in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the case remains pending. This paper argues the Clean Air Act, as Congress originally envisioned, represents the best model for environmental legislation - a form of "modified" or cooperative federalism. In denying California’s waiver request, the EPA renders this cooperative federalism model ineffective; the EPA’s decision intrudes on states’ rights and disregards environmental concerns. As such, the Ninth Circuit should give full weight to the system of cooperative federalism and environmental protection espoused in the plain language and congressional intent of the Clean Air.
Affirmative Power to Strip State Courts of Jurisdiction
Authors: Dorf Michael C.
Published: July 2018

The very substantial literature on the scope of congressional power to strip courts of jurisdiction contains a gap: it does not discuss the source of the affirmative power of Congress to strip state courts of their jurisdiction. Laws granting exclusive federal court jurisdiction over some category of cases are necessary and proper to the exercise of the power to ordain and establish lower federal courts, but what power does Congress exercise when it strips both state and federal courts of jurisdiction? The answer depends on the nature of the case. In stripping all courts of the power to hear federal statutory claims and challenges to federal statutes, Congress exercises whatever affirmative power authorizes the substantive statute. However, Congress lacks affirmative power to strip all courts of the power to hear constitutional challenges to state laws. That conclusion is important in its own right but also complements views—such as Henry Hart’s contention that the Supreme Court must have such jurisdiction as necessary to play its “essential role” in our constitutional system—about the scope and limits of congressional power under the Exceptions Clause of Article III. The limit on affirmative congressional power to strip state courts of jurisdiction to hear constitutional challenges to state laws ensures that there will be cases over which the Supreme Court can exercise its appellate jurisdiction in order to play its essential role.
What Would Grandma Say? How to Respond When Cyber Hackers Reveal Private Information to the Public
Authors: Ottomano Jason P.
Published: July 2018

102 Cornell L. Rev. 1743 (2017)On August 18, 2015, a group of hackers named Impact Team released 37 million records—9.7 gigabytes of data—from the Toronto-based website Ashley Madison. The hackers claimed to be motivated by the alleged unscrupulous practices of Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media Inc., such as false advertising and failing to follow through on a datapurging procedure for which it charged members a nineteendollar fee, The data dump has affected people from all walks of life, including 15,000 government employees, Vice President Joe Biden’s son, and individuals who, because of this data breach, learned that strangers used their e-mail addresses to create Ashley Madison accounts. Former subscribers to the website have received demands to pay money in the form of bitcoins as a ransom on their personal information. The data breach is likely related to at least two suicides thus far. Lawsuits against Avid Life Media Inc. have commenced, and more are in the planning stages; some plaintiffs hope to coordinate class action litigation. Despite the understandable outrage that the website’s members and former members feel, many lawyers are not optimistic about the chances of recovering damages from Ashley Madison or Avid Life Media Inc. This Note will explore the avenues for recovery available to individuals who lose control of their personal information when the security of an organization that collects or holds such information is compromised. This Note will begin by tracing the development of privacy jurisprudence as it specifically relates to the creation and eventual prominence of the Internet in the United States. Next, the piece will discuss the emerging split of authority surrounding a question of statutory interpretation presented by the Good Samaritan exception of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Specifically, the issue is whether 47 U.S.C. § 230(e)(2)—a carve-out within the Good Samaritan exception that withholds immunity for civil liability for intellectual property claims—applies to federal intellectual property laws only, or to both federal and state intellectual property laws. The piece will then conclude that if the Supreme Court were to resolve this split of authority, it should, and likely would, hold that § 230(e)(2) withholds immunity from claims brought under both federal and state intellectual property laws. Finally, this Note will present new policy proposals that Congress and interactive computer service providers (ICSPs) could pursue in light of that conclusion.

The Ethical Visions of Copyright Law
Authors: Grimmelmann James
Published: July 2018

77 Fordham Law Review 2005 (2009)This symposium essay explores the imagined ethics of copyright: the ethical stories that people tell to justify, make sense of, and challenge copyright law. Such ethical visions are everywhere in intellectual property discourse, and legal scholarship ought to pay more attention to them. The essay focuses on a deontic vision of reciprocity in the author-audience relationship, a set of linked claims that authors and audiences ought to respect each other and express this respect through voluntary transactions.Versions of this default ethical vision animate groups as seemingly antagonistic as the music industry, file sharers, free software advocates, and Creative Commons. "Respect copyrights," "Don't sue your customers," "Software should be free," and "I love to share" are all ethical claims about copyright that share some common intuitions, even as they draw very different conclusions. The essay provides a framework for thinking about these ethical visions of intellectual property and then puts these various visions into conversation with each other.
Temporal Arbitrariness: A Back to the Future Look at a Twenty-Five-Year-Old Death Penalty Trial
Authors: Tate Mary Kelly
Published: July 2018

his essay grapples with a previously unexamined feature of the death penalty: temporal arbitrariness. How does the circumstance of time affect capital defendants? What might this mean for the stability of our notions of justice? I explore these questions using a 25-year-old death penalty trial as a case study, examining the procedural and factual highlights of the case and situating it in its temporal milieu. I then explore how the roles of doctrine, policy, and cultural attitudes would dramatically alter the nature and probable outcome of the case today, illustrating how temporal arbitrariness further exposes the death penalty’s unsteady administration and indeed, its crumbling legitimacy.
Let the People Know the Facts: Can Government Information Removed from the Internet Be Reclaimed?

Government Nonendorsement
Authors: Tebbe Nelson
Published: July 2018

98 Minnesota Law Review 648 (2013)What are the constitutional limits on government endorsement? Judges and scholars typically assume that when the government speaks on its own account, it faces few restrictions. In fact, they often say that the only real restriction on government speech is the Establishment Clause. On this view, officials cannot endorse, say, Christianity, but otherwise they enjoy wide latitude to promote democracy or denigrate smoking. Two doctrines and their accompanying literatures have fed this impression. First, the Court’s recent free speech cases have suggested that government speech is virtually unfettered. Second, experts on religious freedom have long assumed that there is no Establishment Clause for secular ideas. So today there is a common belief that government is free to endorse secular ideas. But that belief is mistaken. In this Article, I argue that in fact the Constitution properly imposes a broad principle of government nonendorsement. That principle cuts across multiple provisions — including equal protection, due process, and free speech itself — and it shows how they work together to prohibit endorsements that abridge full and equal citizenship in a free society. Situations where official expression runs up against such limitations include racialized speech, electioneering, same-sex marriage exclusions, political gerrymandering, and messages concerning reproduction. Through analysis of these examples, I establish the requirement of government nonendorsement for the first time. Furthermore, I argue that appreciating the constitutional limits on official endorsement leads to new contributions to theoretical debates surrounding political morality, free speech, and religious freedom.
Managing the Electronic Resources Lifecycle with Kanban

Published: July 2018

This paper discusses the implementation of Kanban as the framework for managing electronicresources workflows by presenting case studies from the University of Saskatchewan Library and at theSaskatchewan Polytechnic Library in Saskatchewan, Canada. Librarians at both institutions independentlychose to adopt Kanban to manage electronic resources work, applying the essential Kanban frameworkof lists titled to do, in progress, and done. Examining the similarities and differences in each librarian’sexperience and discussing two different software programs used, we have included descriptions of ourimplementation, in-depth information about the origins of Kanban, and its more recent applications totechnical work. We found numerous benefits—including reduced email communication and improved duedate tracking—to our implementation of Kanban and no significant drawbacks. Interest in applicationsof Kanban in libraries is on the rise, and we found there were significant benefits of using Kanban forelectronic resources teams when used in conjunction with other tools (e.g., spreadsheets, email, ERMS).

Using ReproZip for Reproducibility and Library Services
Authors: Rampin Vicky , Rampin Remi , Chirigati Fernando
Published: July 2018

This is a pre-print of a manuscript pending publication. Achieving research reproducibility is challenging in many ways: there are social and cultural obstacles as well as a constantly changing technical landscape that makes replicating and reproducing research difficult. Users face challenges in reproducing research across different operating systems, in using different versions of software across long projects and among collaborations, and in using publicly available work. The dependencies required to reproduce the computational environments in which research happens can be exceptionally hard to track – in many cases, these dependencies are hidden or nested too deeply to discover, and thus impossible to install on a new machine, which means adoption remains low. In this paper, we present ReproZip, an open source tool to help overcome the technical difficulties involved in preserving and replicating research, applications, databases, software, and more. We examine the current use cases of ReproZip, ranging from digital humanities to machine learning. We also explore potential library use cases for ReproZip, particularly in digital libraries and archives, liaison librarianship, and other library services. We believe that libraries and archives can leverage ReproZip to deliver more robust reproducibility services, repository services, as well as enhanced discoverability and preservation of research materials, applications, software, and computational environments.
Institutional self-citation rates: A three year study of universities in the United States
Authors: Hendrix Dean
Published: July 2018

Using Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) data, this paper calculated institutional self citations rates (ISCRs) for 96 of the top research universities in the United States from 2005-2007. Exhibiting similar temporal patterns of author and journal self-citations, the ISCR was 29% in the first year post-publication, and decreased significantly in the second year post-publication (19%). Modeling the data via power laws revealed total publications and citations did not correlate withthe ISCR, but did correlate highly with ISCs. California Institute of Technology exhibited the highest ISCR at 31%. Academic and cultural factors are discussed in relation to ISCRs.
Homelessness and the Ethics of Information Access
Authors: Bardoff Corina
Published: July 2018

Many public libraries have rules against strong body odor, bringing large amounts of luggage into the library, sleeping, and bathing in restrooms. These rules disproportionately affect library patrons who are experiencing homelessness. This paper reviews recent literature that considers legal and social justice perspectives on homelessness and libraries, as well as the policies of four urban public library systems. Though these rules may be legal and are widely used, people without homes have no other access to information. This paper concludes that blocking their access conflicts with the mission of public libraries to provide information to all.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in The Serials Librarian on 18/12/2015, available online: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0361526X.2015.1099590.

Dare to Share the Silence: Tools & Practices of Contemplative Pedagogy in a Library Brain Booth
Authors: Mourer Marissa , Karadjova Katia
Published: July 2018

A research study at a rural, public university revealed interest among college students in engaging in mindfulness and contemplative practices within their university library. This study also identified a gap between interest in contemplative pedagogy among faculty and their engagement in contemplative practices within this newly-created library space, The Library Brain Booth. This study shares the results of visits to the Library Brain Booth by both first-time and returning participants. It also provides mean usage time at each of the following stations which were created to support mindfulness and contemplation: biofeedback, color-relax, game-relax, light-relax, read-relax, silent-relax, sound-relax, audio-meditate, prompt-meditate, video-meditate, gratitude-express, and virtual reality-immerse. The results of the study are intended to support the explicit promotion of metacognition and mindfulness in the academic process, both through mindfulness activities within the library for students, and through contemplative pedagogy in information literacy instruction.

Necesidades de información en la comunidad GLTTIBQ (gay, lésbica, transexual, travesti, intersexual, bisexual, queer)
Authors: Jatuf Julio Diaz
Published: July 2018

NECESIDADES DE INFORMACIÓN EN LA COMUNIDAD GLTTIBQ (GAY, LÉSBICA, TRANSEXUAL, TRAVESTI, INTERSEXUAL, BISEXUAL, QUEER) En toda biblioteca las necesidades de información de sus usuarios tienen que estar representadas garantizando, así, equidad e inclusión en la información con la finalidad de conformar ciudadanía. Esta tesis versa sobre dichas necesidades en la comunidad GLTTIBQ. ABORDAJE Toda carencia informativa sobre experiencias de estudios de usuarios en la comunidad GLTTIBQ hace imposible abordar las formas de brindar servicios accesibles e inclusivos a través de una colección pertinente que permita a sus individuos sentirse identificados con su orientación. El objetivo de este trabajo es tratar de colaborar para paliar esa situación en la lengua española. DATOS Y METODOLOGÍA Se realizó un abordaje de tipo documental de índole cuali-cuantitativo a partir de la literatura relevada en la base de datos especializada Library Literature Science Abstracts (LISA) durante 2015-2016 con el objeto de establecer un estudio comparativo de los documentos recuperados. CONCLUSIONES El principal resultado que establece esta investigación es la escasa literatura sobre el tema y la inexistente presencia de producciones científicas en lengua española sobre la temática abordada de la base de datos analizada.---------------INFORMATION NEEDS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY (GAY, LESBIAN, TRANSGENDER, TRANSVESTITE, INTERSEXUAL, BISEXUAL QUEER) In every library, users’ information needs should be represented, thus guaranteeing equity and inclusion in terms of information, aiming to build citizenship. This thesis deals with such needs in the GLTTIBQ community. APPROACH There exists an evident lack of information in terms of users’ studies in the GLTTIBQ community, which uncovers the need to approach ways of rendering accessible and inclusive services by means of a pertinent collection to enable their members to feel identified with their sexual choice. The aim of this work is to try to find a remedy to this situation, in Spanish. DATA AND METHODOLOGY A quali-quantitative documentary approach was carried out by reviewing the literature in the Library Literature Science Abstracts (LISA) database over 2015 2016, to perform a comparative study of the recovered documents. CONCLUSIONS The main result arising from this research is the shortage of literature on the subject and the lack of scientific production in Spanish in the analyzed database.

Hot Coffee and Freeze-Dried First Amendment Analysis: The Dubious Constitutionality of Using Private Ratings for Public Regulation of Video Games
Authors: Cross William
Published: July 2018

This Note argues that simply grabbing pre-packaged analysis off the ESRB’s shelf and running it through legislative machinery is not a recipe for good, or even constitutionally acceptable, law. This legislation, which curtails expression protected by the First Amendment, cannot rest on such stale standards. Additionally, this Note aims to suggest the importance of a serious and respectful application of First Amendment jurisprudence for video games. Although a recent phenomenon, video games comprise a medium that is increasingly popular and has already begun to demonstrate the ability for expression as sophisticated and powerful as any other speaker in the modern marketplace of ideas. Any legislation governing the medium should be grounded in fresh First Amendment analysis. But the legal percolation of the “Hot Coffee” controversy should also serve as a wake up call for the expressive possibilities of the medium as a whole.

Presentation slides for a faculty workshop on how to find and evaluate quality journals. This workshop is applicable for understanding 'predatory publishers' but provides training on evaluating all journals on whether or not they are quality, legitimate, and a good fit for your scholarship.
A collaborative model for web archiving ephemeral art resources at the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC)
Authors: Duncan Sumitra , Blumenthal Karl-Rainer
Published: July 2018

The vast expanse and volatility of art ephemera based on the World Wide Web pose significant threats to the completeness of the art historical record as sustained by art libraries. Towards its mission to enhance the resources available for current and future research through collaboration among leading museum libraries, the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC) collects, preserves, and provides access to art ephemera born in digital formats native to the web. It leverages its member institutions’ traditional collecting strengths and combined resources to establish an initial and model a permanently sustainable web archiving programme. This article introduces NYARC’s web archiving practices as they manifest at the principal stages in a typical web archive’s lifecycle, describes how each directly benefits from collaboration among its member libraries and external programme partners, and identifies opportunities for further art libraries and their consortia to participate in this important effort to serve and preserve at-risk art historical resources.

Published: July 2018

Tujuan menulis artikel ini adalah menganalisis kritis kajian bab yang terkait dengan membangun peradaban melalui pendidikan. Metode yang digunakan kajian pustaka yang dibandingkan dengan beberapa buku yang terkait dengan peradaban pendidikan di Indonesia. Simpulan yang dari hasil kajian adalah dalam “Buku Membangun Peradaban Melalui Pendidikan dan Bimbingan yang ditulis oleh Prof. Dr. Achmad juntika Nurihsan” belum menyentuh peradaban yang terdapat dalam pendidikan di basis pedesaan sehingga ulasan yang menjadi konsep membangun peradaban tidak dapat dicerminkan dalam membangun kearipan lokal.
Relawan: Dari Gerakan Sosial ke Proyek Politik

This article describes the 2014 presidential contest marked by the presence of political volunteers as a form of increasing the citizen's active participation in substantial democracy. This article argues that the rise of the social movement has spawned a tradition of voluntarism in politics. In addition, voluntarism also helps change the political values of patrimonial and oligarchic nuances into voluntarism and participation. Active and online political volunteers can increase community participation. The article also argues that the presence of political volunteers contributes positively to the development of an extra model of parliamentary democracy.
An Analysis of Bibliometric Indicators, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Funding and Faculty Size at Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Medical Schools, 1997-2007
Authors: Hendrix Dean
Published: July 2018

Objective: The objective of this study was toanalyze bibliometric data from ISI, NationalInstitutes of Health (NIH)–funding data, andfaculty size information for Association of AmericanMedical Colleges (AAMC) member schools during1997 to 2007 to assess research productivity andimpact.Methods: This study gathered and synthesized 10metrics for almost all AAMC medical schools(n5123): (1) total number of published articles permedical school, (2) total number of citations topublished articles per medical school, (3) averagenumber of citations per article, (4) institutional impactindices, (5) institutional percentages of articles withzero citations, (6) annual average number of facultyper medical school, (7) total amount of NIH fundingper medical school, (8) average amount of NIH grantmoney awarded per faculty member, (9) averagenumber of articles per faculty member, and (10)average number of citations per faculty member.Using principal components analysis, the authorcalculated the relationships between measures, if theyexisted.Results: Principal components analysis revealed 3major clusters of the variables that accounted for 91%of the total variance: (1) institutional researchproductivity, (2) research influence or impact, and (3)individual faculty research productivity. Dependingon the variables in each cluster, medical schoolresearch may be appropriately evaluated in a morenuanced way. Significant correlations exist betweenextracted factors, indicating an interrelatedness of allvariables. Total NIH funding may relate morestrongly to the quality of the research than thequantity of the research. The elimination of medicalschools with outliers in 1 or more indicators (n520)altered the analysis considerably.Conclusions: Though popular, ordinal rankings cannotadequately describe the multidimensional nature of amedical school’s research productivity and impact. Thisstudy provides statistics that can be used in conjunctionwith other sound methodologies to provide a moreauthentic view of a medical school’s research. The largevariance of the collected data suggests that refiningbibliometric data by discipline, peer groups, or journalinformation may provide a more precise assessment.
Is AI Literate?
Authors: Ridley Michael
Published: July 2018

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology exhibits decision-making capabilities in specific domains on par with or exceeding that of human experts. Similarly, AI is increasingly making more mundane, if complex, decisions such as driving a car. AI such as IBM’s Watson ingest and synthesize enormous amounts of information. But is Watson literate? Do AI reflect literacy practices? Extending the idea of literacy or of being literate to AI challenges many assumptions about computers and ourselves. If we conclude that AI are literate, what does this mean for the idea of literacy? This exploration begins with two contentious ideas: What do we mean by AI? What do we mean by literacy?
Adaptations to Sea Level Rise: A Tale of Two Cities – Venice and Miami
Authors: Molinaroli Emanuela , Guerzoni Stefano , Suman Daniel
Published: July 2018

Both Venice and Miami are highly vulnerable to sea level rise and climate change. We examine the two cities´ biophysical environments, their socioeconomic bases, the legal and administrative structures, and their vulnerabilities and responses to sea level rise and flooding. Based on this information we critically compare the different adaptive responses of Venice and Miami and suggest what each city may learn from the other, as well as offer lessons for other vulnerable coastal cities.
Integrating climate change and human impacts into marine spatial planning: A case study of threatened starfish species in Brazil
Authors: Patrizzi Nayla Shibayama
Published: July 2018

Network expansion of marine protected areas in a changing world is a difficult task for conservation planners. Brazil experiences a combination of low and uneven protection of marine environmets, increasing anthropogenic pressures, climate change, and gaps in information regarding the geographical distribution of many species (Wallacean shortfall). Here, we addressed these issues and present a strategy for identifying priority marine areas for conservation in Brazil that would contribute to increasing species representation and achievement of conservation targets. Within this strategy, we accounted for (i) species range shifts due to climate change and their influence on species distribution, (ii) the lack of species geographical distribution data, and (iii) anthropic pressures on oceans. First, we built ecological niche models (ENMs) for 12 threatened starfish species in both present and future (2100) times using Maxent. We also quantified and mapped species range shifts. Second, we developed three conservation spatial solutions and compared the 10% top-ranked areas. The results showed that ENMs had a good performance in representing the distribution of species, even those that had few occurrence records. Our models forecasted a significant range expansion for the majority of species (10 out 12) by 2100. We found that the priority sites covering the top-ranked 10% in the study area identified in ours conservation spatial solutions would protect between 10.41% and 15.88%, on average, of suitable areas for the starfish species. Our results indicated priority sites for conservation less affected by anthropic pressures (~2%) when data on human impacts on oceans were incorporated into the spatial prioritization process. We identified a network of priority marine sites for conservation that minimized human influence and considered the effects of climate change on species distribution. We used threatened starfish species as a case study for illustrating our approach; however, such an approach could be applied to any taxonomic group, which supports the development of more effective conservation actions that represent biodiversity under such threats.
