Un faux-monnayage d'opportunité : la grotte de Lauradieu à Auriac (Aude)
Authors: Arles Adrien
Published: June 2014

In the 70s, an excavation inside the Lauradieu cave at Auriac (Aude) brought to light a corpus of metal objects associated with a production of forged money at the beginning of the modern period. This exceptional group of artefacts was submitted to an archaeometric study which contributed to a history of the techniques of monetary forgery at the end of the Middle Ages. The linking of archaeological, metrological, archaeometry and experimental data permits to propose a definition of the «chaîne opératoire » used and also gives access to information on the control of the implemented know-how and the economy of this clandestine activity.
Saint-Nazaire-de-Marissargues à Aubais (Gard). Une église et son cimetière du VIIIe au Xe siècle
Authors: Ott Mathieu
Published: June 2014

À 1 km au sud-est du village d’Aubais dans l’ouest du département du Gard, l’église Saint-Nazaire-de-Marissargues et ses abords ont fait l’objet de quatre campagnes de fouilles programmées entre 2001 et 2004. La problématique y était double, portant d’une part sur les vestiges d’un prieuré rural des XIe-XIVe siècles, d’autre part sur l’évolution topochronologique d’une église et de son cimetière du VIIIe au Xe siècle. Ces vestiges nous sont parvenus dans un remarquable état de conservation, puisque les niveaux de circulation du cimetière, les structures de signalisation des tombes et, partiellement, les sols et élévations de l’église, sont préservés. 52 des 1500 tombes estimées – toutes rupestres et anthropomorphes -ont été fouillées, permettant une première approche de cette population rurale carolingienne. Reste la question du statut de l’édifice. Église paroissiale ? Paroisse éphémère ? Quoi qu’il en soit, le sanctuaire est resté à l’écart du mouvement de genèse, puis d’expansion du réseau villageois à la période féodale.
Proximités familiales et géographiques en Ile-de-France (Kinship and familial proximity in Ile-de-France)
Authors: Imbert Christophe
Published: June 2014

For several years, kinship relations have been subjected to researches which tend to point out the importance of physical proximities. These proximities may be read as a sign of the social networks density woven in the neighbourhood, eventually as people 's anchoring. This work rests on the hypothesis of a link between urban context of the residence and kinship networks. We 've been interested, analysing data from "Biographies et entourage " survey, to the anchoring of Île-de-France Villes Nouvelles' inhabitants who belong to the generations 1930-1950. These people, who are in average less long standing in their actual home than those of the rest of Ile-de-France, have in lower proportion parents or collaterals in their neighbourhood. Nevertheless, they do have at least one non coresident descendant who live nearer than 10 km from their own home. Is it due to the composition of the population or do this original urban context play here a part ?
Migrations des cadres, entre métropolisation et diffusion (Migrations of executive, between agglomeration and diffusion)
Authors: Dodier Rodolphe
Published: June 2014

La concentration des lieux d'études supérieures conduit à une première polarisation de l'élite scolaire (par mérite ou héritage) d'une génération donnée. Les besoins spécifiques du marché de l'emploi des grandes villes amplifient ce mouvement de métropolisation des jeunes cadres. Cependant, une certaine diffusion, touchant surtout les cadres de niveau moyen, assure également la croissance des postes très qualifiés en dehors des métropoles. Cela génère des représentations différenciées des territoires au sein du groupe social des cadres.
Une géographie sociale dans le triangle des rapports hommes, sociétés, espaces (A social geography in the triangle of the relationships between men, societies, spaces)
Authors: Di Méo Guy
Published: June 2014

Ce projet de géographie sociale prend en compte l'être humain considéré dans son double processus de socialisation et de spatialisation. Ses objets de recherche concernent le rapport tant individuel que collectif à l'espace et les formes géographiques qu'il engendre. Il accorde un grand crédit aux représentations, ainsi qu 'aux dimensions politiques, économiques et idéologiques des constructions géographiques.
Plant evolution at the interface of paleontology and developmental biology: An organism‐centered paradigm
Authors: Rothwell Gar W. , Wyatt Sarah E. , Tomescu Alexandru M. F.
Published: May 2014

Paleontology yields essential evidence for inferring not only the pattern of evolution, but also the genetic basis of evolution within an ontogenetic framework. Plant fossils provide evidence for the pattern of plant evolution in the form of transformational series of structure through time. Developmentally diagnostic structural features that serve as “fingerprints” of regulatory genetic pathways also are preserved by plant fossils, and here we provide examples of how those fingerprints can be used to infer the mechanisms by which plant form and development have evolved. When coupled with an understanding of variations and systematic distributions of specific regulatory genetic pathways, this approach provides an avenue for testing evolutionary hypotheses at the organismal level that is analogous to employing bioinformatics to explore genetics at the genomic level. The positions where specific genes, gene families, and developmental regulatory mechanisms first appear in phylogenies are correlated with the positions where fossils with the corresponding structures occur on the tree, thereby yielding testable hypotheses that extend our understanding of the role of developmental changes in the evolution of the body plans of vascular plant sporophytes. As a result, we now have new and powerful methodologies for characterizing major evolutionary changes in morphology, anatomy, and physiology that have resulted from combinations of genetic regulatory changes and that have produced the synapomorphies by which we recognize major clades of plants.
Characterization of microsatellites in Xanthosoma sagittifolium (Araceae) and cross‐amplification in related species
Authors: Cathebras Chloe , Traore Renan , Malapa Roger , Risterucci Ange‐Marie , Chaïr Hana
Published: June 2014

• Premise of the study: To investigate the genetic diversity of a root crop, Xanthosoma sagittifolium, and to facilitate germplasm conservation, microsatellite loci were developed and characterized by genotyping 39 accessions from different geographic origins.

• Methods and Results: Using a microsatellite‐enriched library approach, 17 polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified and characterized. The number of alleles for each locus ranged from two to six. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.00 to 0.97 and from 0.09 to 0.78, respectively. Additionally, cross‐amplification of these microsatellite markers was tested successfully in other species of Xanthosoma and Caladium, with rates varying from 23.5% to 100%.

• Conclusions: These results indicate the effectiveness of microsatellite loci developed for the characterization of X. sagittifolium genetic diversity. They are crucial for the future investigation of population dynamics and clonal identification and, therefore, for prioritizing germplasm conservation. They should also enable research on other related species.
Les coûts de l'assistance médicale à la procréation pour les femmes salariées
Authors: Hertzog Irène-Lucile
Published: May 2014

L’assistance médicale à la procréation ( amp ), en arraisonnant le corps des femmes à un contrôle biomédical auquel tout le reste doit être suspendu, permet de réinterroger les divisions genrées entre sphère productive et reproductive. Les femmes qui mènent de front parcours d’ amp et activité professionnelle montrent en effet que leur ‘choix’ est traversé par des injonctions contradictoires, normé par un imaginaire sociohistorique genré. Mises en danger par la collusion entre deux univers où elles ne sont pas en position de force, les femmes cherchent à s’en sortir en utilisant elles-mêmes un ‘script’ qui, le plus souvent, nourrit paradoxalement leur domination.
Stratégie féministe et révolution
Authors: von Redecker Eva , Heinen Jacqueline , Pfefferkorn Roland
Published: May 2014

À une époque où peu de choses s’avèrent stables, la théorie critique dispose de très peu de ressources conceptuelles pour parler de changement social radical. Selon Wendy Brown, elle n’a même pas entrepris le travail de deuil nécessaire pour admettre la perte du concept de révolution dans son acception marxiste classique. L’article commence par analyser en quoi une vision des plus étroites et androcentriques des schémas traditionnels de la révolution engendre des scénarios inconsistants sur la transition entre lutte révolutionnaire et utopie projetée. Il montre ensuite que, a contrario , le mot d’ordre du deuxième mouvement des femmes consistant à refuser d’attendre la révolution et de commencer pas à pas le travail relatif à l’utopie constitue une approche plus convaincante du changement — lequel ne doit ni se présenter comme « uniquement » réformiste, ni se limiter à des questions identitaires.
Apuntes sobre crítica literaria y contexto político en la prensa madrileña del prerromanticismo (1800-1808)
Authors: Checa Beltrán José
Published: May 2014

Cette étude offre, pour la période 1800-1808, un panorama synthétique de la critique littéraire madrilène qui est étudiée dans son contexte politique. Aux divergences politiques étaient associées des différences théorico-littéraires. La modernité des différents paradigmes politiques dans le domaine littéraire se traduisait par une plus ou moins grande réceptivité des critiques face aux changements significatifs qui s'opéraient, tant dans le domaine des genres littéraires que dans celui de la poétique en général. En résumé, ce travail explique comment le binôme en vigueur au XVIIIe siècle - classicisme/baroque - devient alors un triple modèle, que l'on pourrait formuler de la façon suivante: baroque/classicisme/préromantisme.
La « Société des rédacteurs » du Mercurio Peruano (1790-1795) ou les premiers pas du journalisme « professionnel »
Authors: Clément Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2014

S’appuyant sur une structure de type « Société économique d’amis du Pays », la Sociedad Académica de Lima a mis en place une organisation très efficace pour la confection (rédaction, impression et administration) de son organe de presse, le bi-hebdomadaire Mercurio Peruano. Tout particulièrement intéressante est la rédaction de ce journal, depuis le choix des sujets et leur répartition pour traitement entre les membres jusqu’à leur contrôle par des « chefs de service » et leur examen dans de véritables « conseils de rédaction ». Outre la nécessité d’une structure hiérarchisée de l’entreprise, ce système novateur entraîne aussi l’existence d’un nombre élevé d’auteurs, à l’inverse du système en vigueur à l’époque (auteur unique ou tandem, et seul maître à bord). Ces amateurs éclairés ont été les précurseurs qui ont ouvert la voie au journalisme professionnel contemporain.
La presse espagnole à la fin du XVIIIe siècle: de l'appel à collaboration à la tentation du plagiat
Authors: Larriba Elisabel
Published: May 2014

Parmi les multiples écueils auxquels devaient faire face les journalistes dans l'Espagne des Lumières figure celui de l'accès à une vaste information, permettant d’écrire sur les sujets les plus divers, condition sine qua non pour séduire un public aux mille visages et s'assurer de sa fidélité. Quelles furent les stratégies mises en place dans le cadre de la collecte des sources? Comment témoignent-elles d'une certaine conception du journalisme? Comment les publicistes justifièrent-ils certaines pratiques et comment furent-elles perçues? Telles sont les questions auxquelles nous allons tenter ici de répondre, sans prendre en compte le cas très particulier des périodiques officiels que sont la Gazeta de Madrid et le Mercurio histórico y político.
Entre dedans et dehors : vécus parentaux des détenus politiques palestiniens en Israël
Authors: Latte Abdallah Stéphanie
Published: May 2014

Depuis 1967, un rôle central a été donné au système carcéral dans l’occupation et le processus de colonisation de la Cisjordanie et de la bande de Gaza. Chaque famille palestinienne a vécu cette expérience, particulièrement depuis les vagues d’arrestations massives qui ont marqué la première Intifada (1987-1993) puis la seconde Intifada (2000-2004). Les autorités israéliennes ont mis en œuvre des dispositifs répressifs familiaux qui visèrent le contrôle et la connaissance approfondie de la société palestinienne. En détention, les parentalités ont été utilisées comme un outil de pression politique. Depuis le début de la seconde Intifada, la carcéralisation croissante de l’espace des Territoires Occupés a eu comme corollaire l’installation d’un nouveau management pénitentiaire. Ces deux processus ont abouti à la routinisation de l’éloignement des familles de détenus de leurs proches et à l’isolement des prisonniers. La porosité accrue entre dedans et dehors a cependant rendu possible l’émergence de parentalités alternatives. Ces parentalités ont été vécues de façon élargie, collectivement, mais aussi grâce à des moyens dématérialisés (la radio, le téléphone portable, internet et les technologies reproductives) à même de pallier le confinement et l’éloignement des corps.
Parentalité partagée à distance : rôles parentaux et rapports conjugaux face à l’enfermement
Authors: Touraut Caroline
Published: May 2014

Lorsque survient l’incarcération, l’exercice de la parentalité des hommes détenus et de leur compagne à l’extérieur est bouleversé. Les rôles des mères qui élèvent leur(s) enfant(s) avec un compagnon emprisonné se redéfinissent. Plus largement, l’épreuve, par la place essentielle qu’elle donne aux femmes, n’apparaît-elle pas comme une occasion de faire basculer les rapports genrés dans lesquels elles sont habituellement prises ? En effet, l’analyse de la parentalité enfermée apparait particulièrement propice pour aborder les modes spécifiques de gestion de la distance conjugale et pour appréhender les dimensions genrées de la paternité et de la maternité. À travers ces questionnements, c’est aussi une autre dimension de l’incarcération, un de ses effets encore peu traité que l’article met au jour.
Children as Protectors: The Conditions of Parenthood in a Political Prison in Iran
Authors: Talebi Shahla
Published: May 2014

Cet article décrit les relations enfants/parents à Evin, l’une des prisons politiques les plus célèbres de la République islamique d'Iran. On propose un bref compte rendu des événements et des facteurs ayant conduit à une répression politique sévère durant les années 1980 et, après la révolution, aux huit années sanglantes du conflit avec l'Irak. Entre 1981 et 1988, arrestations massives, torture systématique, emprisonnements de longue durée et exécutions sommaires ont créé un paysage sombre et violent en Iran, contrairement au bref "Printemps de la liberté" qui avait suivi la révolution de 1979. L’article combine des travaux de recherche et ma propre expérience de prisonnière politique durant plus de huit ans, dans une approche qu’ailleurs j’ai qualifiée d’ethnographie rétrospective ou d’anthropologie de l’après. Mon analyse des formes non-conventionnelles de maternités (ou de rapports « familiaux ») en prison s'appuie sur les histoires des quelques enfants avec lesquels j'ai vécu une partie de mon emprisonnement et de leurs relations avec les adultes, parents, autres détenus et personnel pénitentiaire. Mettant en avant le rôle performatif du langage, je montre non seulement comment la langue, les jeux des enfants – eux-mêmes une forme de langage -, mais aussi le comportement des parents envers leurs enfants et la vie au quotidien telle que nous l'avons vécue, ont tous été influencés par la condition en prison et la dynamique socio-politique de l'époque. J'illustre également le difficile travail requis pour établir une apparence de normalité et construire des liens familiaux dans ces circonstances si particulières. Enfin, en situant une réflexion sur ma propre vie, je montre le travail de mémoire et le retour du passé au «présent», à la fois comme un don et comme une temporalité complexe, capables d'influencer et d’influer sur ma vie présente. Ces réflexions montrent l’inséparable relation entre souvenirs, langues et formes de vie, tels qu’ils voyagent à travers le temps et l'espace.
Gender Asymmetries, Parenthood and Confinement in two Portuguese prisons
Authors: Cunha Manuela P. da , Granja Rafaela
Published: May 2014

La parentalité est une relation marquée par les catégories de genre. Elle intervient de façon différenciée dans les définitions du masculin et du féminin, les femmes, plus que les hommes étant désignées à travers leur fonction maternelle. Les situations d’incarcération peuvent amplifier ou au contraire nuancer cette asymétrie de genre. À partir d’une recherche réalisée dans deux prisons portugaises à différentes périodes, cet article revient sur cette asymétrie tout en montrant comment l’identité maternelle prend des formes variables selon les époques, les situations carcérales et les lieux de détention.
Kaarel Robert Pusta, d’un ministère à l’autre (1920-1924)
Authors: Le Calloc’h Bernard
Published: May 2014

Cet article est consacré à une période chaotique de l’histoire estonienne : celle de la naissance de l’État estonien, où le pays est parvenu à échapper à l’emprise de deux grandes puissances européennes, l’Allemagne et la Russie. C’est dans ce contexte qu’émerge la personnalité de Kaarel Robert Pusta, qui assuma la tâche ingrate de faire connaître son petit pays et d’en obtenir la reconnaissance, malgré les doutes de la France, alliée de la Russie, sur une indépendance qui affaiblissait l’empire face à l’Allemagne. L’auteur y examine les relations entre l’Estonie et les Alliés, depuis la déclaration d’indépendance jusqu’au traité de paix de Tartu, qui a permis à l’Estonie d’entrer de plein droit dans le concert des nations, ainsi que les débuts de la diplomatie estonienne.
Escolares nos museus: Ensaio do novo público como ato político de educadores intelectuais
Authors: Buchmann Luciano Parreira
Published: May 2014

A visita de grupos escolares a museus, apesar de incentivada pela sociedade, requer do/da professor/a uma série de preparativos. Além de dificuldades a serem vencidas na escola, os docentes vivem durante essa visita uma tensão advinda de julgamentos e da pressão institucional, que, sem afirmar, elege como seu público os conhecedores da arte. A perspetiva política defendida como ato educador no texto parte de ideia de Arendt: da escola como prática ao exercício da vida pública, articulando, então, o ensino da arte na escola - caráter privado, ao museu, locus da arte; ao entender a ação docente como política, trago as considerações de Giroux sobre o caráter intelectual do educador. A reflexão apresentada parte do contexto brasileiro da educação, que na relação escola e museu, com raras exceções, ainda é pouco desenvolvida.
O Carnaval é um Palco, A Ilha uma Festa: Da performance cultural à exposição da sua metaperformance videográfica
Authors: Mourão Rui
Published: May 2014

Neste artigo aborda-se o património cultural imaterial como performance e as suas representações em museus etnográficos como metaperformance, dando especial enfoque à necessidade do uso de imagens em movimento, segundo práticas videográficas, simultaneamente artísticas e documentais, para apresentação expositiva de conteúdos antropológicos. Inicialmente apresenta-se uma argumentação mais teórica sobre a importância do recurso a materiais visuais para representar elementos culturais igualmente visuais, particularmente quando se trata de linguagem não-verbal. Denotativamente, essa reflexão é aplicada no caso da exposição O Carnaval é um Palco, A Ilha uma Festa, que esteve patente no Museu Nacional de Etnologia, em Lisboa, no Museu de Angra do Heroísmo e no Espaço do Conhecimento – Museu da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, em Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Aí são retratadas as danças de Carnaval da ilha Terceira a partir de uma videoinstalação multicanal com várias projeções.
Tinea nigra Presenting Speckled or “Salt and Pepper” Pattern
Authors: Rossetto André Luiz , Cruz Rosana Cé Bella , Haddad Vidal
Published: June 2014

A 7-year-old Caucasian female resident of the southern coast of Brazil presented dark spots on the left palm that converged to a unique macule with speckled pattern at about 1 month. The mycological exam and the fungi culture were typical of Hortaea werneckii, the agent of the superficial mycosis Tinea nigra. The patient received butenafine hydrochloride 1% for 30 days, resulting in a complete remission of the lesion. At a follow-up visit 12 months after treatment, there was no lesion recurrence. We describe a form of rare geographical Tinea nigra with a speckled pattern. The “salt and pepper” aspect should be taken into consideration when the mycosis was suspected.
An empirical model of the auroral oval derived from CHAMP field-aligned current signatures – Part 2
Authors: Xiong C. , Lühr H.
Published: June 2014

Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new model for the location of the auroral oval. The auroral boundaries are derived from small- and medium-scale field-aligned current (FAC) based on the high-resolution CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload) magnetic field observations during the years 2000–2010. The basic shape of the auroral oval is controlled by the dayside merging electric field, Em, and can be fitted well by ellipses at all levels of activity. All five ellipse parameters show a dependence on Em which can be described by quadratic functions. Optimal delay times for the merging electric field at the bow shock are 30 and 15 min for the equatorward and poleward boundaries, respectively. A comparison between our model and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) auroral model derived from IMAGE (Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration) optical observations has been performed. There is good agreement between the two models regarding both boundaries, and the differences show a Gaussian distribution with a width of ±2° in latitude. The difference of the equatorward boundary shows a local-time dependence, which is 1° in latitude poleward in the morning sector and 1° equatorward in the afternoon sector of the BAS model. We think the difference between the two models is caused by the appearance of auroral forms in connection with upward FACs. All information required for applying our auroral oval model (CH-Aurora-2014) is provided.
Ice flow models and glacial erosion over multiple glacial–interglacial cycles
Authors: Headley R. M. , Ehlers T. A.
Published: June 2014

Abstract. Mountain topography is constructed through a variety of interacting processes. Over glaciological time scales, even simple representations of glacial-flow physics can reproduce many of the distinctive features formed through glacial erosion. However, detailed comparisons at orogen time and length scales hold potential for quantifying the influence of glacial physics in landscape evolution models. We present a comparison using two different numerical models for glacial flow over single and multiple glaciations, within a modified version of the ICE-Cascade landscape evolution model. This model calculates not only glaciological processes but also hillslope and fluvial erosion and sediment transport, isostasy, and temporally and spatially variable orographic precipitation. We compare the predicted erosion patterns using a modified SIA as well as a nested, 3-D Stokes-flow model calculated using COMSOL Multiphysics. Both glacial-flow models predict different patterns in time-averaged erosion rates. However, these results are sensitive to the climate and the ice temperature. For warmer climates with more sliding, the higher-order model has a larger impact on the erosion rate, with variations of almost an order of magnitude. As the erosion influences the basal topography and the ice deformation affects the ice thickness and extent, the higher-order glacial model can lead to variations in total ice-covered that are greater than 30%, again with larger differences for temperate ice. Over multiple glaciations and long-time scales, these results suggest that consideration of higher-order glacial physics may be necessary, particularly in temperate, mountainous settings.
Does Capital Structure Influences Working Capital Intensity and Growth Opportunity of a Firm: An Evidence From Tanzanian Firms
Authors: Bundala Ntogwa Ng'habi
Published: May 2014

The study was based on determination of influences of capital structure on the working capital and growth opportunity of the listed companies in Tanzania. The study targeted to meet three objectives.  These objectives are to investigate  on how Tanzanian listed companies behave in their capital structure, working capital intensity and growth opportunity, to examine the influence of the capital structure on working capital intensity and growth opportunity of Tanzanian listed companies and to examine the potency of working capital (current asset) in advocacy of growth opportunity of Tanzanian listed companies. The study used descriptive study strategy on ten listed companies at Dar Es Salaam Stock Exchange as per October, 2012.  The documentary analysis and website survey used to collect the secondary data.  The multivariate multiples regression model used to analyses data. The findings of the study lay that the listed companies of Tanzania are unleveraged and growing fast and are illiquidity. It is found that there is no significant relation of capital structure, working capital and growth opportunity of Tanzanian listed companies. The potency of current asset to generate sales of companies is averaged at 0.555 Tanzanian shillings per one shilling of sales. It is recommended that companies aiming for growing should adhere to investment opportunity available in their companies and should prefer internal financing to external financing.
IFRS Adoption and Enforcement as Antecedents of Economic Growth
Authors: Zaidi Syed Kashif Raza , Huerta Esperanza
Published: May 2014

This paper assesses the impact of IFRS adoption on the economic growth of adopting countries taking into consideration the level of enforcement of the adopting countries. We hypothesize that the adoption of IFRS increases the economic growth of the adopting countries. This effect is to be moderated by the level of enforcement. That is, we hypothesize a positive interaction between enforcement level and IFRS adoption on the economic growth rate of a country. Using several statistical procedures and models to estimate regression, we find partial support for our hypotheses.
Professionalism of the Regional General Elections Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum Daerah or KPUD) and the Regional Elections Monitoring Agency (Badan Pengawas Pemilihan Umum Daerah or Bawaslu Daerah) in Realizing Quality District Head's Elections

District head's elections as implementation realization of sovereignty of the people undertaken in democratic system, for sure, shall subject to principles and concept of district head's elections. KPUD and Regional Bawaslu as the district head's elections organizers are obliged to execute professional and quality district head's elections based on the 4 (four) conceptual elements of district head's elections as follows: (1) as a means of sovereignty of the people, (2) it is conducted in a direct, general, free and secret as well as honest and fair manner, (3) it is conducted in Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and (4) it is based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.   Implementation of district head's elections, in reality, is full of various violations, especially for the number of votes obtained by foul manner such as vote distension. This condition is obviously seen by the people showing that KPUD and Regional Bawaslu are not capable in performing their duties as the agency of district head's elections. Definitely, it affects quality of district head's elections or legitimation of the elected district head. In fact, lots of factors affect professionalism of KPUD and Regional Bawaslu such as capability of human resources, low alimony rate compared to their responsibility load, and also integrity of KPUD and Regional Bawaslu. Other factor which has escaped attention is morality of the members of KPUD and Regional Bawaslu.

Complementary Value of Databases for Discovery of Scholarly Literature: A User Survey of Online Searching for Publications in Art History
Authors: Nemeth Erik
Published: June 2014

Discovery of academic literature through Web search engines challenges the traditional role of specialized research databases. Creation of literature outside academic presses and peer-reviewed publications expands the content for scholarly research within a particular field. The resulting body of literature raises the question of whether scholars prefer the perceived broader access of Web search engines or opt for the precision of field-specific research databases. Surveys of art historians indicate a complementary use of online search tools with a reliance on field-specific research databases to discover authoritative content. Active use of Web search engines and initiatives for open access suggest that research databases will integrate into an evolving Web-based infrastructure that supports discovery and access of scholarly literature.
“Changing the Way We Talk”: Developing Librarians’ Competence in Emerging Technologies through a Structured Program
Authors: Pegrum Mark , Kiel Ralph
Published: June 2014

This article reports on the implementation of a professional development program in emerging technologies for librarians at the University of Western Australia. Set up in 2008 to address a lack of pedagogically grounded training in this area, it has now graduated three cohorts. A qualitative analysis of participants’ online contributions and course projects, complemented by quantitative survey data, reveals that most librarians acquired new understandings of both pedagogy and technology; many were able to apply newly gained skills in the workplace; and some went on to create pedagogically grounded, technologically enabled resources of ongoing value to the library. A more intangible change in the discourse around new technologies was also observed. Limitations and challenges are identified and discussed.
Positioning Open Access Journals in a LIS Journal Ranking
Authors: Xia Jingfeng
Published: June 2014

This research uses the h-index to rank the quality of library and information science journals between 2004 and 2008. Selected open access (OA) journals are included in the ranking to assess current OA development in support of scholarly communication. It is found that OA journals have gained momentum supporting high-quality research and publication, and some OA journals have been ranked as high as the best traditional print journals. The findings will help convince scholars to make more contributions to OA journal publications, and also encourage librarians and information professionals to make continuous efforts for library publishing.
Tenure and Promotion Experiences of Academic Librarians of Color
Authors: Damasco Ione T. , Hodges Dracine
Published: June 2014

This study broadly examines factors impacting work-life experiences of library faculty of color within the framework of tenure policies and processes. An online survey was sent out to academic librarians of color to gauge perceptions of tenure and promotion policies and processes, professional activities and productivity, organizational climate and culture, and job satisfaction and retention. Results of the survey showed mixed findings regarding the impact of race on the tenure and promotion process. Findings can be used to inform future discussions of recruitment and retention for academic librarians of color and to improve the overall tenure experience.
The Inevitability of Open Access
Authors: Lewis David W.
Published: June 2014

Open access (OA) is an alternative business model for the publication of scholarly journals. It makes articles freely available to readers on the Internet and covers the costs associated with publication through means other than subscriptions. This article argues that Gold OA, where all of the articles of a journal are available at the time of publication, is a disruptive innovation as defined by business theorist Clayton Christensen. Using methods described by Christensen, we can predict the growth of Gold OA. This analysis suggests that Gold OA could account for 50 percent of the scholarly journal articles sometime between 2017 and 2021, and 90 percent of articles as soon as 2020 and more conservatively by 2025.
Factors Influencing the Usage of an Electronic Book Collection: Size of the E-book Collection, the Student Population, and the Faculty Population
Authors: Lamothe Alain R.
Published: June 2014

This paper presents the results of a quantitative and systematic investigation exploring online e-book usage at the J.N. Desmarais Library of Laurentian University over a 9-year period. The size of an e-book collection was determined to show evidence of an extremely strong relationship with the level of usage e-books experienced. Of all factors examined during the course of this study, it was the size of the collection that exhibited the strongest association to usage levels and would suggest just how important the size and content of a collection can be to patron acceptance and utilization. Of all student academic levels, doctoral students exhibited the strongest relationship with e-book usage, while undergraduate students showed signs of the weakest. Faculty demonstrated the overall weakest relationship with e-book usage.
Forget the Desk Job: Current Roles and Responsibilities in Entry-Level Reference Job Advertisements
Authors: Detmering Robert , Sproles Claudene
Published: June 2014

This study examines the evolving roles and responsibilities of entry-level academic reference positions, as stated in recent job advertisements posted on the American Library Association’s JobLIST Web site and other sources. Findings from a content analysis of these advertisements indicate that current entry-level reference positions in academic libraries incorporate a strikingly diverse and complex range of responsibilities. The study provides valuable insight into the expectations and priorities of hiring institutions in regard to entry-level reference work, offering a broad perspective on the reference job environment to library science students, first-time job seekers, and libraries seeking to recruit entry-level candidates.
Instructional Preferences of First-Year College Students with Below-Proficient Information Literacy Skills: A Focus Group Study
Authors: Latham Don , Gross Melissa
Published: June 2014

The Attaining Information Literacy Project has focused on identifying first-year college students with below-proficient information literacy skills, gaining an understanding of those students’ self-views and perceptions of information literacy, gaining an understanding of their instructional experiences and preferences, and developing an intervention that will address their instructional needs. Focus groups were conducted with students with below-proficient skills to determine their instructional preferences. The findings from the focus groups indicate that students place a high value on personal relevance in the knowledge and skills they are learning, and they prefer a combination of demonstration and hands-on activities, interaction with the instructor and other students, and the availability of supplemental instructional materials in the form of handouts. In addition, they feel that incentives to participate in instruction are crucial and that a number of communication strategies are needed to advertise effectively the availability of instructional sessions.

Authors: Kimball Rusty , Stephens Jane , Hubbard David , Pickett Carmelita
Published: June 2014

A citation analysis of publications produced by the Department of Atmospheric Sciences faculty at Texas A&M University was conducted. This study included a detailed analysis of 5,082 cited publications by source, format, and age. TAMU Libraries holdings were then assessed using the works cited within the context of the 80/20 rule. The sources cited were primarily journals (91 percent) and books (5 percent). Eighty percent of the cited journal articles were fulfilled by just 24 journal titles, thus adhering to the 80/20 rule. The results were compared to those of previous citation studies in the sciences, with implications for collection management.
How Unique Are Our Users? Part 2: Comparing Responses Regarding the Information-Seeking Habits of Education Faculty
Authors: Robbins Sarah , Rupp-Serrano Karen
Published: June 2014

This follow-up study examines whether or not findings of single institution studies are applicable to other institutions by performing an institution-to-institution comparison of the results obtained from an information-seeking behavior survey sent to education faculty at twenty research institutions. The results from this study corroborated what was found in the previous study conducted on the information-seeking behavior of engineering faculty in 2009. It indicates that general information about information-seeking behavior of faculty holds true across institutions, while information related to specific library services or facilities should be validated locally.
Moving Beyond Citation Analysis: How Surveys and Interviews Enhance, Enrich, and Expand Your Research Findings
Authors: DeVries Susann , Kelly Robert , Storm Paula M.
Published: June 2014

A traditional mixed methods research model of citation analysis, a survey, and interviews was selected to determine if the Bruce T. Halle Library at Eastern Michigan University owned the content that faculty cited in their research, if the collection was being utilized, and what library services the faculty used. The combination of objective data gleaned from the citation analysis and survey coupled with the personal, in-depth information gained from the interviews was instrumental in increasing the value of the study for its use in collection management decisions, and showed how effectual the services and collection are in supporting the research needs of the faculty at EMU.
Knowing Where They Went: Six Years of Online Access Statistics via the Online Catalog for Federal Government Information
Authors: Brown Christopher C.
Published: June 2014

As federal government information is increasingly migrating to online formats, libraries are providing links to this content via URLs or persistent URLs (PURLs) in their online public access catalogs (OPACs). Clickthrough statistics that accumulated as users visited links to online content in the University of Denver’s library OPAC were gathered over a six-year period and were analyzed. Among the conclusions were that DU users prefer online content over print for both newer and older documents and that there is great benefit in adding URLs above and beyond the URLs supplied by GPO cataloging.
Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy
Authors: Mackey Thomas P. , Jacobson Trudi E.
Published: June 2014

Social media environments and online communities are innovative collaborative technologies that challenge traditional definitions of information literacy. Metaliteracy is an overarching and self-referential framework that integrates emerging technologies and unifies multiple literacy types. This redefinition of information literacy expands the scope of generally understood information competencies and places a particular emphasis on producing and sharing information in participatory digital environments.
A Longitudinal Assessment of Graduate Student Research Behavior and the Impact of Attending a Library Literature Review Workshop
Authors: Rempel Hannah Gascho
Published: June 2014

This article discusses findings from a longitudinal research study that examined the way graduate students carry out the literature review and how they were impacted by attending a library literature review workshop. The literature review research process serves as an important gateway for graduate students into their scholarly communities’ practices and can be a logical place for librarians to offer assistance. This study was carried out to gain insights into the ways librarians can better meet graduate students’ needs to shape the services offered to graduate students. Findings reveal a lack of a single path through the literature review research process, but they do indicate that attending a literature review workshop can have long-term benefits.
Applying Active Learning Methods to the Design of Library Instruction for a Freshman Seminar
Authors: Dabbour Katherine Strober
Published: June 2014

Active learning methods were employed in designing library instruction for an experimental freshman seminar at California State University-San Bernardino. Rather than rely on the traditional lecture/demonstration format, the centerpiece of the ninety-minute “one-shot” sessions was a small-group, self-guided exercise focusing on the library’s online system. As a prelude to the hands-on exercise, students participated in class discussions on the importance of information literacy. Opportunities for individual instruction also were provided. Student, librarian, and faculty evaluations of the sessions were favorable.
Information-Seeking Behavior of Multicultural Students: A Case Study at San Jose State University
Authors: Liu Mengxiong , Redfern Bernice
Published: June 2014

In 1995 a survey was conducted on the campus of San Jose State University where, for the first time, so-called minorities made up 50.7 percent of the total student population. Asian students compose the largest group among other ethnic groups. The study shows that students who use English as their primary language are usually more successful in using the library than those who use English as a second language. Length of stay in the United States also affects how often students use the library, as well as their behavior in asking reference questions. The survey found that Asian students are hindered by a fear of asking stupid questions, a belief that their English is not good enough, an inability to understand answers well, and a lack of familiarity with the library reference desk.
Using Transaction Log Analysis to Improve OPAC Retrieval Results
Authors: Blecic Deborah D. , Bangalore Nirmala S. , Dorsch Josephine L. , Henderson Cynthia L. , Koenig Melissa H. , Weller Ann C.
Published: June 2014

This OPAC transaction log analysis study compared data derived from two sets of logs within a six-month period. Analysis of the first set of data revealed that users experienced difficulty with basic searching techniques. The OPAC introductory screens were simplified and clarified to help users improve search success rates. The second set of data, analyzed after screen changes had been made, showed statistically significant differences in search results. Regular monitoring of OPACs through transaction log analysis can lead to improved retrieval when changes are made in response to an analysis of user search patterns.
The Training of Academic Library Staff on Information Technology within the Libraries of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System
Authors: Kirkpatrick Teresa E.
Published: June 2014

There is much discussion in the literature of library and information science on the need for training, and it is generally recognized that libraries do not devote as much time and energy to training their staff as they should. However, the surveys of training practice that are common in the private sector seldom are done in the library world. The purpose of this study was to survey academic libraries within the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system to find out what the current training practices are within these libraries. Seventeen out of twenty-three libraries responded to a survey that attempted to determine (1) the types of technologies on which staff receive training, (2) the methods being used to train staff on technology, and (3) whether any differences exist in the training that professional and paraprofessional staff receive.
An Empirical Examination of Subject Headings for Women’s Studies Core Materials
Authors: Gerhard Kristin H. , Su Mila C. , Rubens Charlotte C.
Published: June 2014

The ACRL Women’s Studies Section Technical Services Committee investigated the assignment of subject headings to core works in women’s studies. Annotations for the works were compared with subject headings on OCLC cataloging copy, mainly created by the Library of Congress. Inadequacies were identified and traced to three sources: inadequacy of terminology, the complexities of assigning headings in interdisciplinary and/or emerging fields, and standard cataloging practices. Recommendations for amelioration of these problems are made.
Academic Librarians and the Pursuit of Tenure: The Support Group As a Strategy for Success
Authors: Miller Jeannie P. , Benefiel Candace R.
Published: June 2014

Faculty status with the accompanying quest for tenure is a fact of life for three out of four academic librarians, and achieving tenure is a tough proposition. Most librarians have not received extensive training in research methodology, their work schedules lack flexibility, and they usually have limited access to research funds. Given these constraints, the support and assistance of colleagues is crucial, and the establishment of an informal tenure support group can provide a mechanism for discussing common concerns and channeling efforts toward finding effective solutions.
Representations of the Alternative Press in Academic Library Collections
Authors: Marinko Rita A. , Gerhard Kristin H.
Published: June 2014

This study uses the list of periodicals indexed by Alternative Press Index to examine the holdings rates of alternative press titles in U.S. ARL libraries. Holdings rates are examined by library, by title, and by subject category. Alternative press titles are not widely held in U.S. ARL libraries. Titles falling into categories such as leftist/Marxist politics, gay/lesbian, and labor are particularly underrepresented in library holdings, as are titles that are newsletters or magazines. The impact of these low holdings rates on scholars, students, and archival library collections is discussed.
