IFLA Congress, Manila 1980
Authors: Matthews John 
Published: July 2016

Rather than present a commentary on the business of the Round Table of Art Librarians at Manila, this article is an attempt to provide a picture of the way in which the event is organised, and perhaps encourage others to participate actively in future meetings.The first point to be made is that anyone may attend an IFLA Congress, whether or not they represent an institution or association. The only requirement is the payment in advance of the requisite registration fee. The meeting point for national discussion on IFLA matters in this country is the British National IFLA Committee (BNIC). This holds regular meetings throughout the year at the Library Association in Store Street. Part of the work of the Committee is to ensure that there is adequate representation at all meetings held during the Congress. The BNIC also provides details on the availability of charter travel for those wishing to attend.
A bibliography of little magazines in the arts in the U.S.A.
Authors: Gurney Susan Rothwell 
Published: July 2016

A little magazine is a magazine designed to print artistic work which for reasons of commercial expediency is not acceptable to the money-minded periodicals or presses … little magazines are willing to lose money, to court ridicule, to ignore public taste, willing to do almost anything steal, beg, or undress in public — rather than sacrifice their right to print good material.Hoffman, Frederick J.

Beyond the No. 1 Rabbit-proof Fence: benefits and problems of isolation in Western Australia
Authors: Deubert Kathy 
Published: July 2016

Western Australia has the dual problem of a very large land area and a small population with its capital city, Perth, one of the most geographically isolated cities in the world. The art community is active; art organisations, collectors and academic institutions are increasingly aware of their role in the promotion of the local heritage while realising the importance of trying to overcome cultural isolation.For librarians, isolation limits personal communication with eastern states colleagues, hinders access to larger interstate resources, and adversely affects the currency of their collections, but it also encourages a spirit of co-operation, communication and sharing of resources at the local level.

Il n’y a pas de relation directe, mais de contiguïté, entre mon travail d’artiste et celui de bibliothécaire.En tant qu’artiste – j’ai commencé avec le film en 1976 puis la photographie en 1978 – j’ai toujours été intéressé par le livre: j’ai participé dans les années 70 à la création d’une revue d’art (Melba) et m’occupe aujourd’hui d’une petite maison d’édition consacrée au cinéma comme forme d’art (Paris vu par le cinéma d’avant-garde 1923-1983; Peter Kubelka).
Beyond the gossip shop
Authors: Fawcett Trevor 
Published: July 2016

Arlis arose in the late 1960s out of the need for British art and design librarians to have a specialist organisation to support their emerging professional concerns. The Society was independent from other library bodies and has remained so. From its original modest aim of ‘promoting art librarianship’ it has become a force for redefining this subject specialist area and creating international links, especially with sister organisations across the world; from ‘gossip shop’ for domestic concerns to an active participant in the IFLA Section of Art Libraries. The Art Libraries Journal has been the principal vehicle for promulgating this concern. ARLIS/UK & Ireland can look forward to extending its role and pursuing its activities with vigour in the next 25 years.This article is a slightly revised version of a paper delivered to the 25th Anniversary Conference of ARLIS/UK & Ireland, London, 7th-10th April 1994.
Les Archives de la critique d’art et le site Internet Critica
Authors: Leroy Claire 
Published: July 2016

Les Archives de la critique d’art sont une bibliothèque et un centre de recherche spécialisés en art contemporain et en critique et théorie de l’art. Elles se sont donné pour but de réunir les documents et les publications de tous ceux qui écrivent sur l’art contemporain.Unique en son genre, cette institution créée en 1989 a une envergure internationale aussi bien par son fonds (écrits et archives) que par ses actions: développement de bases de données et d’un site Internet, organisation de conférences et de colloques. Son originalité consiste dans l’implication des critiques d’art dans son fonctionnement même. Par l’apport de leurs documents, écrits et/ou documentation personnelle, les critiques constituent la majeure partie des collections de la bibliothèque.
Museum Libraries in France: Their Wealth and Their Influence
Authors: Picot Nicole 
Published: July 2016

The following words preface Francoise Cachin’s introduction to Marie-Thérèse Cavignac’s Les bibliothèques des musées en Aquitaine:
Richness and diversity! Reading this volume demonstrates how wide and varied is the subject matter of the museum libraries in the Aquitaine region, whether it be the library in the Bonnat Museum in Bayonne or in the national museum at the Château de Pau, those in museums specialising in the history of Aquitaine, the Pays Basque or the Périgord, or those in museums dealing with prehistory or contemporary art or seaplanes, the customs service or folk art.This description is just as valid for the rest of France. Considerable effort has been put into the modernisation of French museums during the last twenty years or so and their libraries have benefited from this renewal as well. I would like in this paper to describe some of the strengths of libraries and documentation centres in museums of art, and to try and define their role within their institutions and within the network of French art libraries.
The Genetical Approach to Problems of Productivity in the Fowl
Authors: Greenwood A. W. 
Published: July 2016

It is only possible in the time available to treat the background to problems of production along the broadest possible lines. The subject is one well worth detailed attention, but it is questionable if sufficient knowledge is extant to fill in the wide gaps in the story of the evolution of our highly productive modern breeds from their ancestral types—the jungle fowl.
The history of domestication of the fowl covers a very extended period of time, and in it three main lines of development may be traced. The first of these is the use of the male fowl as a fighting cock. From the earliest times up to the present it has been used for this purpose and cock-fighting has been the incentive to selective breeding. In this case the skill of the breeder has been put to the severest of tests—the elimination in battle of those individuals lacking the necessary qualities to survive.
Care of Bulls at A.I. Centres
Authors: Rowson L. S. 
Published: July 2016

This paper is an attempt to throw a little light on what is probably the most neglected, and yet most important aspect of Artificial Insemination, namely, the management of the bulls used for this purpose.
Evidence is becoming apparent that a number of bulls used for A.I. have been discarded or compulsorily rested because they refused service. As the number of Centres increases so will the number of bulls which fall into this category, and the problem is likely to be the greatest that A.I. has to face in the future.
It is rapidly becoming obvious that this failure of sex drive is not, as generally thought, primarily nutritional, but is in a large degree due to the lack of knowledge of the psychological process involved in the sexual act, and the consequent ill-handling of the animals during service. The knowledge available on the mental processes which take place is inconclusive and complicated, and involves androgenic and oestrogenic factors and their relationship with these processes.
Hill Land Improvement and its Relation To Increased Animal Production
Authors: Griffith Moses 
Published: July 2016

This paper in the main deals with the work carried out on the lands of the Cahn Hill Improvement Scheme and also with work carried out by W.A.E.C.s’ and on individual farms in Wales.
This work was started by Sir George Stapledon and his colleagues at the Welsh Plant Breeding Station. Mr. Stapledon, as he then was, made a survey of the hinterland of North Cardigan soon after taking up the post of Adviser in Agricultural Botany at Aberystwyth and conceived the idea that there was great scope for improvement on these lands. When he was appointed Director of the W.P.B.S. he and some of his colleagues started small-scale trials at Llety and Bwlch-rosser and afterwards on Captain Bennett Evans’ farms.
Raising Beef Cattle on the Welsh Hills
Authors: Bennett Evans G. L. 
Published: July 2016

I am not setting up to be an expert on the raising of store cattle in general and I propose now to tell you something of my own experiences from the Hill Farmers', angle and to air my favourite theory that a tremendous increase in beef production (as well as in other commodities) could come from the upland grazings of this island.
The question I asked myself ,right away, back in 1930, was would cattle live on the hills during the winter? All that I ever saw on the hills were just the local small.herds in summer on the rough grazings on what we call in Wales, Ffridd land, in Scotland, and North of England, Inbye land; enclosed by a fence or a stone wall, near the homestead.
Some Effects of Seasonal Changes in Dairy Herd Management upon Milk Yields
Authors: Burt A. W. A. 
Published: July 2016

Seasonal variations in the milk production of a dairy herd are due to the seasonal distribution of calvings, to changes in the potential productivity of the herd due to effects of age, and to seasonal changes in the herd environment.This is a preliminary report of an attempt to estimate the effect of these seasonal changes in climate, feeding and management upon milk yields during single herd years, by making adjustments for the effects of the calving distribution and changes in potential productivity. Milk records from two Dairy Shorthorn herds were used.
The Efficiency Of Mutton Production In Crossbred Sheep
Authors: J. G. W. Jones  
Published: July 2016

This paper is a report on preliminary work carried out at the Rowett Research Institute during the winter of 1951-52, in cooperation with Mr. Gill and Mr. Thomson.What is known as stratification of the sheep industry in Scotland is the differentiation of enterprise into fairly distinctive types, roughly according to the altitude of the holdings. In the production of mutton, four main types of enterprise are concerned:—(1) breeding of hill ewes for replacement of hill stocks(2) breeding of first-cross ewes(3) breeding of second-cross lambs(4) fattening of second-cross lambs.
Bloat Onset in an Intact Dairy Cow Grazing New Zealand Pasture
Authors: Bath D. R. 
Published: July 2016

Bloat in ruminants is a digestive disorder arising from an abnormal distension of the rumen with gas, and may prove fatal. It is termed chronic when protracted due to physiological disorders and acute when transitory due to feed factors (Cole et al., 1945). Bloat in grazing ruminants is recognised as acute, although the chronic condition at pasture is known (Lyons, 1928). Acute bloat may result from a frothy admixture of gas and ingesta, or from free gas in the rumen (McIntosh, 1941).The incidence of bloat is world-wide. It is reported most frequently in association with grazing highjy productive pastures and its unpredictability and rapid onset seriously hamper animal and pasture husbandry.
The importance of the dry period in the control of mastitis
Authors: Oliver J. , Dodd F. H. , Neave F. K. 
Published: July 2016

The variations in the incidence of mastitis and infection with stage in lactation of dairy cattle have been the subject of a number of investigations (Oliver, 1955) but until recent years the udder health of dry cows has been given little attention. This is surprising, because many cows are dry for almost three months in each year and the dry period is immediately followed by a few weeks when the incidence of mastitis is high (Oliver et al .,1956a).During the last ten years a study has been made at this Institute of the importance of the dry period to the control of mastitis in dairy cattle. The object of this article is to review the progress made.
Influence of rearing intensity on body development and milk production
Authors: Hansson Artur 
Published: July 2016

The ingenious biochemical system, which we generally call heredity, directs the body development and regulates the reaction of the individual in relation to the environmental conditions. It is this genetically determined adaptiveness of the individual which makes it possible for organic life to survive even when the climatic conditions and the supply of nutriment vary within wide limits in nature.The interaction of heredity and environment involves several problems of vital importance for animal production. One such problem is the influence of level of nutrition during the rearing period on body development, fertility, milk production and longevity. When investigating the relative importance of heredity and various environmental factors on the production traits in dairy cattle, we have concentrated much of our effort on this special problem.
The influence of seasonal intensity of stocking on the live-weight increase from a sward
Authors: Eyles D. E. , Williams T. E. , Green J. O. 
Published: July 2016

The growth of grass varies considerably from month to month. Where stock numbers are constant, as in a dairy herd, it is difficult to use grassland efficiently by grazing alone. But where grassland is used for meat production, livestock numbers may be subject to a considerable fluctuation, and with skilful adjustment of classes of stock this fluctuation can be made to approximate to the seasonal pattern of growth in the pasture.The adjustment of stock numbers to the quantity of grass present is an art which is part of successful grazing management. Understocking will lead to an accumulation of pasture which will then have to be grazed at a more mature stage, while overstocking will result in a lower plane of nutrition for the animals. The efficiency of equating stocking intensity to the pasture available in a given period will be reflected in the progress of the individual animal (in terms of daily milk yield or live-weight gain) and in the output per acre of pasture.
Aspects of breed structure in pedigree British shorthorn cattle
Authors: Clayton G. A. 
Published: July 2016

The objects of this investigation were to discover the amount of current inbreeding, the extent of any genetic divergence between the beef and dairy types, and whether the breed was dominated by an élite group of herds as for example, in the British Friesian (Robertson, 1953). An extensive investigation by Sewall Wright (1923a), (1923b) and McPhee and Wright (1925), (1926) established that there was at that time little current inbreeding and that genetic divergence between Dairy and Beef Shorthorns was negligible. This work adds to and corroborates their findings and throws some light on breed structure.The sampling technique in this investigation is based upon Wright (1925). If consisted of noting the number, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of a randomly selected sample of 128 females registered in Coates’ Herd Book, Vol. 94, 1948. Simple random lines were traced back from each great-grandparent as far as 1900, a toss of a coin deciding whether to record a sire or a dam. The information contained in Coates’ Herd Book made it a simple matter to record in addition the mate of the randomly selected ancestor, thus providing 16 random lines behind the eight great-grandparents.
A comparison of whole milk and a milk substitute in the production of veal
Authors: Elliot J. 
Published: July 2016

The disposal of the surplus milk produced in the spring and early summer months is becoming a problem. Blaxter (1950) suggested that the conversion of milk protein into meat protein in the form of veal would be an ideal method of dealing with the surplus.In March 1955, the Fatstock Marketing Corporation and the Milk Marketing Board jointly announced a scheme designed to divert surplus milk from the overloaded butter and cheese manufacturers to veal production at a time when home-killed meat is normally in short supply. From the beginning of April until the end of July, a minimum price of 3s. per lb. dressed carcass weight for Grade I calves in the weight range 60-100 lb. and 2s. 9d. per lb. between 101-125 lb. was offered by the Fatstock Marketing Corporation.
Livestock and agriculture of Northern Ireland
Authors: Morrison James 
Published: July 2016

The pattern and character of Northern Ireland farming is to-day very different from what it was a century ago. The farms, although still relatively small, were then very much smaller, and the output of farm products was very low. The changes in farm organisation consequent upon the gradual increase in the size of farms made it possible for the occupiers to keep more stock. Indeed, the tendency to-day for consolidation of holdings into larger units is being accentuated by economic conditions and developments in farm mechanisation.Climatic conditions have also played a big part in the expansion of stock farming. While the rainfall cannot be regarded as excessive, at least in the east, it tends to be unduly persistent in the harvest months so that crop production, especially of cereals, is a risky business. In the west, with a higher rainfall, it is even more so. This enforced limitation of cropping has induced farmers to concentrate more on the production of livestock and their associated products.
Measuring Environmental Education Program Impacts and Learning in the Field: Using an Action Research Cycle to Develop a Tool for Use with Young Students
Authors: Ballantyne Roy , Packer Jan , Everett Michele 
Published: July 2016

AbstractDespite the increasing importance of, and interest in, documenting the impact of environmental education programs on students' learning for sustainability, few tools are currently available to measure young students' environmental learning across all the dimensions of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours. This paper reports on the development of such a tool, using an iterative action research process with 134 students, aged six to eleven, attending programs at an Environmental Education Centre in Queensland, Australia. The resulting instrument, the Environmental Learning Outcomes Survey (ELOS) incorporates observations of students' engagement in learning processes as well as measuring learning outcomes, and allows both of these aspects to be linked to particular components of the environmental education program. Test data using the instrument are reported to illustrate its potential usefulness. It is envisaged that the refined instrument (appended) will enable researchers to measure student environmental learning in the field, investigate environmental education program impacts and identify aspects of programs that are most effective in facilitating student learning.
Educating For Sustainability in the Early Years: Creating Cultural Change in a Child Care Setting
Authors: Davis Julie 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThe early childhood education field has been slow to take up the challenge of sustainability. However, Brisbane's Campus Kindergarten is one early education centre that is making serious efforts in this regard. In 1997, Campus Kindergarten initiated its Sustainable Planet Project involving a variety of curriculum and pedagogical activities that have led to enhanced play spaces, reduced waste, lowered water consumption and improved biodiversity. Such changes are not curriculum “add-ons”. A study of curriculum decision-making processes shows that a culture of sustainability permeates the centre. This has been by a process of slowly evolving changes that have led to a reculturation of many social and environmental practices. This study also shows that very young children, in the presence of passionate and committed teachers, are quite capable of engaging in education for sustainability and in “making a difference”.
Constructing Apathy: How Environmentalism and Environmental Education May Be Fostering “Learned Hopelessness” in Children
Authors: Nagel Michael 
Published: July 2016

AbstractFor children, environmental issues have become part of their formal and informal educational lives. The merging of the terms environment and education in the 1970s has also witnessed an emerging degree of pessimism through bringing the plight of the environment to the educational arena of children. Much of the discourse surrounding sustainable development is premised on a negative outlook regarding the state of the environment. It is these types of negative messages on which this article focuses. This paper suggests that while attempting to educate future generations about environmental issues, environmentalism may have also assisted in developing a generation of children who have not only become apathetic to environmental issues but also lost in a confusing muddle of “learned hopelessness’.
Balancing the Disciplines: A Multidisciplinary Perspective on Sustainability Curriculum Content
Authors: Sherren Kate 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis paper explores appropriate disciplinary content for generalist sustainability degrees, based on two recent surveys. A questionnaire was used to extract from a multidisciplinary, largely academic audience – all of whom share an interest in sustainability – their views as to the disciplinary knowledge that a university-based sustainability education should include. This was undertaken because the current focus in sustainability education literature on generic skills and pedagogical method provides little insight to assist curriculum developers with disciplinary content. While the sample was limited, respondents came from a diverse group of disciplines and thus supply a broad perspective to curriculum design. Recommended teaching methods were also captured, for both undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as the academic backgrounds of the participants for the purposes of investigating bias. The findings were compared with curricula from existing Australian coursework programs and showed that a slight rebalancing towards the human sphere is necessary.
