Improving the Quality of Library Services for Students with Disabilities
Authors: Hernon Peter , Calvert Philip 
Published: February 2024

The development and promotion of appropriate services for students with disabilities has been an integral part of the academic library since the 1990s. There remains, however, a dearth of literature in marketing, library and information science, and other disciplines that applies quality assessment instruments to existing programs. With this in mind, Hernon and Calvert present two versions of a data collection instrument, designed to compare the expectations of special students with their perceptions of how well a given service met their needs. Descriptions of successful initiatives at a variety of academic libraries are also included.
Adaptive technologies. Anti-discrimination laws. Equity and compliance issues. In-house policies (and politics). All of these support, in one form or another, the development and promotion of appropriate services for students with physical, learning, or, increasingly, psychological disabilities. But what of service quality? To date, there is a dearth of literature in marketing, library and information science, and other disciplines that applies quality assessment instruments to programs for special student populations. Not until now has anyone compared the expectations of such students with their perceptions of how well a given service meets their needs. Peter Hernon, Philip Calvert, and their colleagues Kathleen Rogers, Todd K. Herriott, and Ava Gibson discuss the circumstances affecting services for the disabled, and provide two versions of a data collection instrument, loosely based on SERVQUAL, that individual institutions can modify to reflect their particular needs and situations. International in scope, it incorporates the perspective of university attorneys and compliance officers, as well as descriptions of successful initiatives by senior library administrators in the U.S. (Larry Hardesty, Rush G. Miller, Sarah Hamrick, and Jennifer Lann) and New Zealand (Helen Renwick, Philip Jane, and John Redmayne.) Improving the Quality of Library Services for Students with Disabilities will assist libraries and other service components of academic institutions to adopt a proactive position, as well as challenge staff assumptions of service expectations and information needs.

Learn how to provide exemplary library service to individuals in prison or jail, by applying the public library model when working with inmate populations. These authors, a jail librarian and an outreach librarian, offer a wealth of insights and ideas, answering questions about facilities and equipment, collection development, services and programming; computers and the Internet; managing human resources, including volunteers and inmate workers; budgeting and funding; and advocacy within the facility and in the community. The approach is practical and down-to-earth, with numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate concepts.
More than 2 million adults are serving time in correctional facilities, and hundreds of thousands of youth are in juvenile detention centers. There are more than 1,300 prisons and jails in the United States, and about a third as many juvenile detention centers. Inmates, as much or more than the general population, need information and library services. They represent one of the most challenging and most grateful populations you, as a librarian, can work with. This book is intended to aid librarians whose responsibilities include serving the incarcerated, either as full-time jail or prison librarians, or as public librarians who provide outreach services to correctional facilities. It is also of interest to library school students considering careers in prison librarianship. The authors, a jail librarian and an outreach librarian, show how you can apply the public library model to inmate populations, and provide exemplary library service. They offer a wealth of ideas, answering questions about facilities and equipment, collection development, services and programming; computers and the Internet; managing human resources, including volunteers and inmate workers; budgeting and funding; and advocacy within the facility and in the community.

The Greatest Opportunity since the Birth of Christ
Authors: Miller-Davenport Sarah 
Published: February 2024

This chapter explores how US missionaries were able to broaden their efforts during the era of decolonization. While the end of colonialism in Africa and much of Asia posed a crisis for European missionaries—and for American mainline Protestant missionaries—US evangelical missionaries thrived during this period. Decolonization coincided with the rise of the US as the world’s foremost military and economic power. Far from hampering American global expansion, decolonization helped to amplify it as the US sought to shape the course of decolonization toward its own ends. US evangelical missionaries were on the front lines of this emerging phenomenon. To them, the shifting world order posed an opportunity, not a crisis. Unhampered by concerns over the links between colonialism and missionary work and fueled by their own imperial amnesia, US evangelical missionaries took advantage of the retreat of European missionaries to extend their reach in the Global South.
Photon-Counting CT: High Resolution, Less Radiation
Authors: Lachance Chantelle C. , Horton Jennifer 
Published: February 2024

Why Is This an Important Area of Interest?

CT scanners play an essential role as medical imaging devices for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of various health conditions. Photon-counting CT (PCCT) is an emerging medical technology that can improve image quality with less radiation exposure.
Although Health Canada has licensed certain PCCT scanners for use, it remains unclear whether PCCT currently has a place in care.

What Is the Technology?

PCCT uses a semiconductor material to directly convert each incident photon into an electrical signal. The detector can quickly read out and “count” each individual photon. By directly detecting each X-ray photon and its energy level, PCCT scans can provide a clearer image.

What Is the Potential Impact?

PCCT is intended to function like conventional CT (i.e., scanning various anatomical structures for the purpose of screening, diagnosing, and monitoring health conditions). Any person requiring a CT scan could potentially be eligible for a PCCT scan.
PCCT requires less time to complete a scan versus a conventional system. This could increase the number of CT scans a health care organization can conduct per day, if there are resources available to operationalize the additional capacity (e.g., health care personnel).
We identified evidence that suggests, with a few exceptions, PCCT can provide similar or improved image quality and reduced image noise with often reduced radiation doses compared to conventional CT. It remains unclear whether this results in improvements in key health outcomes. The increased image quality may also increase incidental findings (e.g., incidentalomas), most of which are not clinically relevant.
Compared to conventional CT, trends indicate higher or similar diagnostic confidence among clinicians and improved comfort for patients with PCCT. Trends also suggest PCCT may be valuable at improving the ability to diagnose or detect key markers of certain health conditions or diseases, especially for lung conditions.
PCCT may offer particular benefits to children, people who require frequent CT scans, and people living with overweight or obesity.

What Else Do We Need to Know?

PCCT scanners cost 3 to 5 times more than conventional CT scanners. Additional clinical trials to investigate whether the higher resolution and lower radiation doses result in downstream improvements in key health outcomes are imperative to determine if the additional cost of PCCT scanners is justified.
To comprehensively assess whether PCCT should be implemented for clinical use in Canada, additional information on certain implementation factors — such as training requirements and implications of dual-machine exposure, user perceptions, accessibility, and its overall place in care — is needed.

Abstract. Stratosphere-to-troposphere transport results in the stratospheric intrusion (SI) of O3 into the free troposphere through the tropopause folding. However, the mechanism of SI influencing the atmospheric environment with the cross-layer transport of O3 from the stratosphere, free troposphere to the atmospheric boundary layer has not been elucidated thoroughly. In this study, a SI event over the North China Plain (NCP) was taken to investigate the mechanism of the cross-layer transport of stratospheric O3 with the impact on the near-surface O3 based on the multi-source reanalysis and observation data and air quality modeling. The results revealed a significant mechanism of stratospheric O3 intrusion to the atmospheric environment induced by an extratropical cyclone system. The SI with downward transport of stratospheric O3 to near-surface layer was driven by the extratropical cyclone system with vertical coupling of "upper westerly trough-middle the Northeast Cold Vortex (NECV)-lower extratropical cyclone" in the troposphere. The deep trough in the westerly jet aroused the tropopause folding, and the lower stratospheric O3 penetrated the folded tropopause into the upper and middle troposphere; the westerly trough was cut off to form a typical cold vortex in the upper and middle troposphere. The compensating downdrafts of the NECV pushed the further downward transport of stratospheric O3 in the free troposphere; The NECV activated an extratropical cyclone in the lower troposphere, and the vertical cyclonic circulation governed the stratospheric O3 from the free troposphere across the boundary layer top invading the near-surface atmosphere. In this SI event, the averaged contribution of stratospheric O3 to near-surface O3 was accounted for 26.77 %. The proposed meteorological mechanism of vertical transport of stratospheric O3 into the near-surface atmosphere driven by an extratropical cyclone system could improve the understanding of the influence of stratospheric O3 on atmospheric environment with implications for the coordinated control of atmospheric pollution.
The Influence Of Big Five Personality On Customer Satisfaction With Interpersonal Relationship Quality As A Mediating Variable Among Cooperative Facilitators In The West Kalimantan Province
Authors: Mahdi Irfan , Ahmadia Eru 
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of Big Five Personality traits on customer satisfaction, with the quality of interpersonal relationships serving as a mediating variable among cooperative facilitators in West Kalimantan Province. This quantitative study utilized questionnaires for data collection and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS software for data analysis. It involved 41 cooperative assistants and 41 targeted cooperatives in West Kalimantan. Employing total sampling, the study aimed to analyze the impact of the Big Five Personality traits on customer satisfaction, with interpersonal relationship quality as a mediating variable among cooperative assistants in West Kalimantan.

This study discovered that the quality of interpersonal relationships has a significant positive correlation with customer satisfaction, with personality dimensions such as Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness contributing positively. Although Openness to Experiences and Neuroticism did not demonstrate statistically significant relationships, this research underscores the importance of understanding the role of interpersonal relationship quality in the context of personality traits to enhance customer satisfaction. This study has significant limitations, including a sample size confined to cooperative assistants in West Kalimantan, reliance on quantitative methods with questionnaires, and the use of Smart PLS statistical software in SEM analysis. Other limitations encompass the potential influence of external factors not captured in the study and constraints in generalizing the results to other contexts. The research outcomes have tangible implications for business. Decision-makers can utilize these insights to enhance strategies and training initiatives, ultimately fostering positive customer experiences. This study examines the Big Five Personality traits. Consumer satisfaction is determined by the extent to which the benefits of a product or service align with consumer expectations. Interpersonal relationship quality mediates the relationship between Big Five Personality traits and consumer satisfaction.
