Shifting the Library Paradigm: The Role of Cultural Intelligence on Tomorrow
Authors: Turnbull David , Wescombe-Down David , Feklistova Oksana , Dal Lago Katrina
Published: March 2019

This paper explores the role of cultural intelligence within libraries. Presentations were given by David Turnbull and David Wescombe-Down. David Turnbull defined culture and cultural change and discussed the importance of cultural intelligence for theological librarians. David Wescombe-Down continued the discussion and focused on the importance of coping with change and the need for effective communication to manage change correctly within an organization. To gain an understanding of cultural intelligence within a library setting, Oksana Feklistova and Katrina Dal Lago, facilitated a discussion with conference participants using case studies relating to generational and technological change and consumer culture. The participants discussed the case studies in small groups and answers were shared amongst all participants. The two following papers explore the ethnic perspective of multiculturalism, Gavin Glenn from Camden Theological Library in New South Wales, and Judith Bright from John Kinder Theological Library in New Zealand. Gavin and Judith discussed their experiences within the context of their libraries.

Here, we outline our aims for the project and discuss our methodology.
From T.T. Reed’s Colonial Gentlemen to Trove: Rediscovering Anglican Clergymen in Australia’s Colonial Newspapers
Authors: Young Marisa
Published: March 2019

T. T. Reed’s pioneering book on the lives of Anglican clergymen in South Australia is still an important guide to the contribution made by these men to the expansion of educational opportunities for children. However, the development of Trove by the National Library of Australia has provided new ways of tracing the educational activities of Anglican clergymen in Australia. Researchers have frequently acknowledged the importance of the roles played by Protestant ministers of religion in the expansion of primary and secondary education during the nineteenth century. Much of the focus of this research work in religious history and educational history has been linked to the contribution of Protestant clergymen in educational administrations, either through leadership roles as headmasters or through participation in activities established by school boards or councils. Numerous Protestant ministers of religion developed high profile roles during the early growth of non-government as well as government-supported primary and secondary schools in colonial South Australia. This article will emphasise the ways that information searches using Trove can highlight forgotten aspects of educational activities undertaken by clergymen. It will focus on the activities of three ministers from the Church of England who combined their parish duties in the Diocese of Adelaide with attempts to run schools funded by private fees. Their willingness to undertake teaching work in this way thrust them into the secular world of an emerging Australian education market, where promotional activity through continuous newspaper advertising was part of the evolution of early models of educational entrepreneurship. These clergymen faced considerable competition from private venture schools as well as government-supported schools in the colonial capital. This article will also highlight gender issues associated with their promotional activities, as each minister used different definitions of gender in order to build supportive social networks for their schools and attract attention to their teaching activities.

Automation from Scratch
Authors: Rieckens Derek James
Published: March 2019

The acquisition of a major collection prompted the residents of St. Michael’s Abbey to hire a librarian who would catalog the hitherto unorganized 50,000 volumes of the abbey’s library. This poster shares how that lone librarian is approaching the challenge of introducing library automation into an institution that has never had a formal system for bibliographic control. The processes of choosing and deploying an ILS, developing a one-person cataloging workflow, and reforming circulation are laid out in the hopes that this experience will be instructive to others who are tasked with organizing collections from square one.

Connecting Users with Special Collections
Authors: Strickler Christa M.
Published: March 2019

Buswell Library at Wheaton College in Illinois faced a cataloging backlog of thousands of rare materials focusing on American and British Protestant evangelism and missions. Cataloging staff used creative thinking to solve challenges such as lack of staff time and expertise. We collaborated with special collections staff to determine specific user needs, then used our knowledge of metadata practices to meet those needs. Many complicated items appeared in the workflow, but we found creative ways to make them accessible. To communicate the project to the rest of the library, we presented at a staff meeting, explaining the types of materials cataloged and sharing tips for searching for them. The project significantly increased the amount of special collections items cataloged annually and allowed us to connect faculty and students with our valuable research materials.
The Meanings of "Innovation" in Theological Libraries
Authors: Elia Anthony J , Veldheer Kris , Turner Bob
Published: March 2019

Part 1:  Examining the “Theological-Industrial-Complex”

ABSTRACT

The use of the term innovation in recent years has been widely debated, but also widely used in theological education.  The question we are asking is whether innovation is inherently a set of “bold ideas” or merely “empty promises,” based on a systematic need to change environments for the sake of change, rather than the sake of need.  In the first presentation, we will discuss the history of the term “innovation,” why it has become tied to technology, and what the underpinning power-structure of the “theological-industrial-complex” is and has to do with innovation in our theological institutions.

     Part 2:  How Do We Talk About Innovation?

Abstract

            This was a presentation in three parts with the second part being about how do we talk about innovation.  Several points were raised including the language of innovation and the myths of innovation.  Finally, based on an article by Girish Rishi, three paths to innovation were highlighted along with a number of lessons to be implemented as well.

     Part 3:  Culture of Innovation or Innovation of Culture?

Abstract

When we think of innovation we often associate the word with digital technology, such as software, apps, and electronic books. Yet our view of innovation should not be limited to the stuff that we create, or that others create for us. Instead, we can think of innovation as the way that we creatively understand and apply our strengths to our workplaces. In this paper I will argue that the creative use of our strengths, not the total remaking of our libraries, is the best way to adapt to the constant changes in our field and world.
Digitizing and Schematizing the Archival Material from the Late Ottoman Period Found in the Monastery of al-Za?far?n in Southeast Turkey
Authors: Bcheiry Iskandar
Published: March 2019

In the context of combining digital humanities with scholarship in history and religion, my paper discusses a plan to create a relational database of primary sources that were found in Syriac Orthodox monastery in southeast Turkey. The primary sources are in the form of archives of correspondence to and from six Syriac Orthodox patriarchs during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This massive archive comprises around 20,000 documents, which are still unpublished, and their content is mostly unknown to the scholarly world. In this proposed database of the Syriac patriarchal archives, the data extracted from the sources will be stored according to a relational aspect. The big picture of this project is to create a tool not only to understand many aspects of the life of the Syriac community in Middle East and in direct relationship with other communities who lived beside them or interacted with them, but also to develop a tool for other scholars in different fields and geographical areas to interact with this relational database according to their own interests.
“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”
Authors: Limpitlaw Amy , Spomer Michelle , Estelle-Holmer Suzanne
Published: March 2019

“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” recalls Marie Kondo's 2014 influential book of the same name, from which we took our inspiration.  The panelists discussed how "tidying up" parts of their collections, while in some ways a daunting process, is nevertheless a worthwhile and important endeavor for libraries. Each panelist included a summary of what part of the collection needed tidying, how they undertook the process, and what were the results of the process. The parts of the library collection considered in this presentation specifically were periodical subscriptions, reference works, and standing orders for book series.

The Theology of Cybersecurity
Authors: Elia Anthony J.
Published: March 2019

Institutions of higher learning, including seminaries and theological schools around the world are increasingly faced with not just keeping information safe, but needing to be proactive against external cyber-threats on a global scale. Unlike the world of twenty-five years ago, unknown actors 10,000 miles away have the potential to infiltrate, infect, hold hostage with ransomware, and even destroy our valued information. In this presentation I will address both the functional, relevant, and practical questions about cybersecurity in seminaries and theological schools, and the theological and ethical questions about being proactive stewards of cyber-infrastructure. The role of cybersecurity reaches all members of a community and can affect everything from student library accounts to the reputation of an institution.  In this paper we will look at both the practical and the theological-ethical nature of cybersecurity in theological institutions, and ask how we can be more engaged and better protected against potential threats.

Changing Seminaries, Changing Libraries, Changing Selves
Authors: Welsh Megan Elizabeth , Milas Patrick
Published: March 2019

Religious identities and practices are changing. Religious studies and theological educators are adapting curricula and services to support increasingly diverse student populations. On an institutional level, some religious studies departments and seminaries' priorities are changing, too.   

For example, Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS) remains one of ten seminaries of the Presbyterian Church (USA), but currently, only 28% of students identify as PCUSA personally and over fifty Christian traditions are represented, reflecting a trend toward ecumenism. ATS-accredited institutions  have faculty and students whose faiths are outside of Judeo-Christian traditions, principal traditions that comprise the ATLA membership. Additionally, there is increased representation from secular institutions (e.g., University of Colorado Boulder) and organizations not affiliated with specific denominations within ATLA membership.

It's time for librarians to share with each other their perceptions of their institutions’ relationships with students, administrations, and denominations, and where they fit within ATLA personally.
Indexing the Theologico-Political
Authors: Kuehn Evan Francis , Goodwin Shawn
Published: March 2019

Political theology is an important and growing field of theological research, which has also attracted the attention of political scientists, philosophers, and social theorists. This interest has led to different and often ambiguous definitions of what political theology actually is. In addition, related subfields like liberation theology, public theology, and critical theory are often associated with political theology, making categorization challenging. It is important that theological librarians understand the changing terrain of theological-political inquiry in order to better provide access for their research communities.

In this paper, we present findings about the range of current description practices for books and journal articles related to political theology. We share preliminary explorations in mining cataloged resources for subject headings related to political theology, as well as full text of titles in HathiTrust for clusters of words that can be modeled as topics. These tools can help librarians to better understand the research literature they are describing, and engage with it more actively.

Reimagining the Academic Library
Authors: Lewis David W.
Published: March 2019

This paper is a summary with some added thoughts of the closing plenary address at the American Theological Library Association meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 16, 2018. The talk explores issues of productivity in the library context and how libraries need to explore, discover, and invent in order to remain vital. It also considers what has changed, most notably the unrelenting pace of increases in the capacity of computer technology as expressed in Moore’s Law. It considers the fundamental shift libraries need to make from an outside-in to an inside-out approach and how this requires investing in open content and infrastructure. Finally, a challenge was issued to the group to create the open scholarly commons for theology and religion.

Managing a Large-Scale Weeding Project
Authors: Engelson Leslie
Published: March 2019

The main circulating collection at Murray State University had never been thoughtfully and intentionally weeded. Several factors aligned raising the need for a thorough weed of the collection resulting in weeding over a quarter of the collection (over 100,000 volumes). Most of the volumes were pulled and processed over a 32-week period. This session will discuss the circumstances that made the time ripe for weeding, the criteria that informed the decision-making process, tools used in that process, workflow for accomplishing the physical processing, cross-library participation in the project, and things to consider when implementing a project of this magnitude.
The Cemetery as a Place Where the Living Meet the Dead: Prescriptions for Relations between the Two Worlds in the Traditional Culture of Central Russia
Authors: Dobrovolskaya Varvara E.
Published: March 2019

This article deals with the rules of behavior in the cemetery. These rules presumed certain communications between the world of the living and the world of the dead. A number of examples prove that correct behavior by the living provides safety and protection from the harm which otherwise could be inflicted by the dead. Correct behavior restores the boundary between the worlds destroyed by the fact of death. Violation of the “correct” behavior at the cemetery, on the contrary, leads to the breaking of this boundary, i.e., to the intervention of the dead into the world of the living. The paper notes that a person can come into contact with the dead and obtain from them whatever assistance might be necessary, if he complies with certain rules.
Neither BURGHER nor BARIN: An Imagological and Intercultural Reading of Andrey Stoltz in Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov (1859)
Authors: Walker Joshua S.
Published: March 2019

This article presents a reevaluation of Andrey Stolz as more than either a “weak point” in the novel or a “plot device” and “simple foil” to Oblomov (as D. Senese represents Dobrolyubov’s position). I investigate the problematic nature of “Germanness” in the novel according to the Imagological methodology, and this allows me to explore how Andrey’s intercultural identity is mediated through a myriad of different perspectives in the novel. Andrey accesses two politically-loaded symbolic sets of the German character in mid-nineteenth-century Russian literature: as an outsider, an Other, who is a negatively-valued opposite by which the positive Russian Self can be defined; and as an aspect of the internalized German in Russian culture, where the Other functions as a symbol of the westernizing process within Russian society. Andrey’s unstable Germanness thus exposes the paradox of expressing the Russian Self in the 19th century, where the Russian is constructed in contrast to-yet also in terms of-the imagined Western Other. I therefore challenge the prevailing assumption that Andrey is meant only to be the “antidote” to Oblomov, and suggest that his character elucidates the instability of the Russian Self Image.
SlaVaComp Fonts Converter
Authors: Skilevic Simon
Published: March 2019

This paper presents a fonts converter that was developed as a part of the Freiburg project on historical corpus linguistics. The tool named SlaVaComp-Konvertierer converts Church Slavonic texts digitized with non-Unicode fonts into the Unicode format without any loss of information contained in the original file and without damage to the original formatting. It is suitable for the conversion of all idiosyncratic fonts—not only Church Slavonic—and therefore can be used not only in Palaeoslavistic, but also in all historical and philological studies.
Low Velocity Impact Behaviour of Damaged Composite Plates Repaired by Composite Patches
Authors: CALİSKAN Umut , EKİCİ Recep , APALAK Mustafa Kemal
Published: March 2019

Adhesive bonding techniqe is used in many engineering applications. Repairs based on adhesively bonded fibre composite patches are becoming widely accepted for repairing cracks or other defects. Patch application to damaged materials with adhesive bonding is used to extend the service life of the material.  In this study, patches were bonded damaged fiber-reinforced laminated composite plates and the dynamic load resistance was investigated numerically. Damaged composite plates and fiber reinforced composite patches are bonded with adhesive. Non-linear finite element analyses were performed in the ABAQUS finite element software. A cohesive zone model based on fracture mechanics was used as the adhesive material model. Low velocity impact behaviour of damaged plates reparied by composite patches was also investigated for different patch material such as aluminum and fiber reinforced composite. Impact analyses performed on different impact energy with constant impactor weight were investigated in terms of contact force variations, kinetic energy variations and impact damage. Damged plates without patch were perforated and damaged. Composite patches absorb impact energy and prevent the perforation.
An Internet of Ownership: Democratic Design for the Online Economy
Authors: Schneider Nathan
Published: March 2019

The disappointments of the online economy – for instance, user surveillance and systemic labor abuses – stem at least in part from its failures to meaningfully share ownership and governance with relevant stakeholders. Under the banner of ‘platform cooperativism’, an emerging network of cooperative developers, entrepreneurs, labor organizers and scholars is developing an economic ecosystem that seeks to align the ownership and governance of enterprises with the people whose lives are most affected by them. This represents a radical critique of the existing online economy, but it is also a field of experimentation for alternative forms of ownership design. This essay presents and analyzes some of the ways platform cooperativism has begun to generate ownership designs that could serve the platform economy of the future differently than the investor-owned structures that currently prevail.

Young children often deny that improbable events are possible. We examined whether children aged 5–7 (N = 300) might have more success in recognizing that these events are possible if they considered whether the events could happen in a distant country. Children heard about improbable and impossible events (Experiments 1A, 1B, and 2) and about ordinary events (Experiment 2) and either judged whether the events could happen in a distant country or locally (Experiments 1A and 2) or with their location unspecified (Experiment 1B). Children were more likely to judge that extraordinary events could happen in a distant country than when the same events were described locally or with location unspecified; also, older children were more likely to deny these events could happen when they were local compared with when their location was unspecified. We also found some evidence that manipulating distance affects judgments more strongly for improbable events than for impossible one. Together, the findings show that children’s assessments of whether hypothetical events are possible are affected by the geographic context of the events. The findings are consistent with accounts holding that children normally assess whether hypothetical events are possible by drawing on their knowledge of the ordinary world but further suggest that children modify this approach when considering events in distant lands.
German Adaptation of the Subjective Vitality Scales (SVS-G), accepted version (journal: Open Psychology)
Authors: Bertrams Alex , Dyllick-Brenzinger Thomas , Englert Chris , Krispenz Ann

Subjective vitality is a positive feeling of aliveness and energy, and it is a crucial aspect of well-being. The Subjective Vitality Scales (SVS) have been developed to measure subjective vitality both at the individual difference level and the state level in English-speaking samples. We translated the SVS into German (the SVS-G) and examined their psychometric properties. In Study 1 (N=260), we found that two correlated factors (Factor 1: individual difference level; Factor 2: state level) with five items each constituted a useful structure for the SVS-G. Moreover, the scores on the individual difference scale were more stable than the scores on the state scale. We also found partial evidence for the measurement invariance over a period of three weeks. Conforming to our expectations, Study 2 (N=296) revealed that the SVS-G scores were related to positive and negative affect but could still be distinguished from the affect variables. In line with previous findings, Study 3 (N=203) showed that SVS-G scores are related to well-being variables (happiness and joviality) and the perceived capacity to actively perform effortful tasks (attentiveness and capacity for self-control). Across all the studies, the SVS-G showed satisfying inner consistency, and the two consideration levels (individual differences vs. state) could be differentiated. The initial evidence suggests that overall, the SVS-G have good psychometric properties.
The Missing Organizational Dimension of Prisoner Reentry: An Ethnography of the Road to Reentry at a Nonprofit Service Provider
Authors: Mijs Jonathan Jan Benjamin
Published: March 2019

Prisoner reentry has received great interest in political sociology, criminology, and beyond. Research documents the struggles of individuals trying to find their way back into society. Less attention has been given to the organizational aspects of reentry. This is unfortunate given the rapid growth of nonprofit reentry organizations in the U.S., which introduces a new set of questions about the context and challenges to prisoner reentry. Drawing on an ethnography of Safe, a nonprofit reentry organization in the Northeast, I describe the organization's pivotal role in institutionalizing the pathway to prisoner reentry: a road to reentry, which takes former prisoners through a process that reconfigures their morality, identity, and social relationships. The road to reentry concept helps bring together scholars of the welfare state and criminology by highlighting how the challenges of prisoner reentry rely on how this process is organized. The way in which prison reentry is organized, in turn, affects former prisoners' agency and shapes the relationship between these men and women and their respective families and communities.

HUNTING RIGHTS IN POLAND
Authors: Daniłowicz Witold
Published: March 2019

Although hunting rights constitute the key element of Polish hunting law, so far they have not been subject to detailed analysis in legal writings devoted to the subject. This is most likely due to the fact, that the term itself is not used in the hunting legislation. The article fills this gap. It analyzes the legal nature of hunting rights under Polish law as well as examines legal issues most closely related to this legal institution, namely hunting preserve and hunting lease. Also analyzed is the ownership of game at large, game carcass, hunting trophies and shed antlers.
THE POWER OF STATE, THE RIGHT OF PARENTS, THE RIGHT OF THE CHILD – THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION AS THE RIGHT TO POSSESS CONTROL
Authors: Butrymowicz Magdalena
Published: March 2019

Why does the state have power in the area of education over parents’ wishes? The first reason has already been explained above: these are financial and economic aspects. The second reason is of historical nature. The state has controlled education in general historically. When in the 19th century the idea of public schools was created, the state sponsored such schools. Private schools were in a good condition, since they had their own sponsors or proceeds from pupils’ tuitions. When they lost their self-sustainability, they had to request the state for some support. And, as mentioned above, the state had its interest in controlling the educational system, because it wanted to influence the upbringing process of its citizens and create an ideology, which would help to achieve the government’s goal.
ON FUNCTIONAL RELATIONS BETWEEN MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES IN POLAND AND FRANCE
Authors: Augustyniak Monika
Published: March 2019

The article presents the platform of functional relations between the legis-lative body and the executive body of the municipality in the Polish and French legal order . Reflections made in this respect should help improve the model of both bodies of the municipality in the scope of tasks and competences, shaping the platforms of their joint and separate relations . Determining the manner of implementation of tasks and competences of the municipal bodies based on the principle of cooperation should be an aspiration of the legislator to normatively and factually balance the legal status of both municipal bodies . The analysis of the determinants of the functioning of legislative and executive bodies is aimed at proposing directions of changes in their functional relations, in order to increase the efficiency of their operation as the most important determinant of efficient management of the local community.
