Wikipedia

Writing a reference book may be the most under-appreciated authorship in the world. Hey, now if you have some hidden special expertise, you can share in this non-celebrity status. The Wikipedia is a collaboratively created compendium of the knowledge of the masses. This "communal encyclopedia published its 400,000th article in November, roughly four times the number of articles covered by Encyclopaedia Britannica." js

Since y'all have been working so hard completing your class assignments and cramming for your finals, I thought you might like to give your eyes (and brain) a rest and enjoy these new federal government (mostly) "picture books". They can be found in the Government Documents Department located on the 2nd floor, South in the University Library.

Witness : firsthand accounts of the largest volcanic eruption in the twentieth century / by Jeanne M. Schaaf.  U.S. Dept. of the Interior, National Park Service, [2004]  I 29.2:K 15/2004

Photographs and personal narratives of the eruption of Mount Katmai in Alaska in 1912.

NASA's nuclear frontier : the Plum Brook Reactor Facility / by Mark D. Bowles and Robert S. Arrighi.  National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA Office of External Relations, NASA History Office, [2004]  NAS 1.21:2004-4533

An illustrated history of NASA's only nuclear research reactor, the Glenn Research Center Plum Brook Station, that operated from 1962-1973.   This publication includes many photographs, newspaper clippings, and primary source materials.

Making their way : views of grassroots development in Latin America and the Caribbean / photographs by Miguel Sayago. Inter-American Foundation, 2004.
Y 3.IN 8/25:2 G 76/4

The Inter-American Foundation has commissioned various professional photographers, among them Miguel Sayago, to document its program of self-help in Latin America and the Caribbean through this photo essay.

Today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor--in effect, the cause of U.S. involvement in World War II. The Scout Project pointed me to the Smithsonian Institution which has a exhibit about American wars with great graphics and flash movies to help us understand the significance of this day and the growing list of other such anniversaries.js

The Price of Freedom: Americans at War

"There are numerous online exhibits that attempt to holistically address the experience of Americans at war, but few succeed as thoroughly as this recently released gem presented by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. With an admirable eye for integrating visual documentaryevidence and short historical essays and descriptions, this website offers
insights into the various armed conflicts that have engulfed the country from the Revolutionary War to the current conflict in Iraq.

Entering the main area of the site, visitors encounter a visual timeline of the conflicts, and may elect to explore each one by clicking on its representative icon. Continuing on, each conflict contains a brief video clip exploring the main challenges and issues of each encounter, and also offers some general statistics, such as the number of casualties and troops deployed. Each conflict is primarily explored by allowing visitors to browse through a section of artifacts, such as an Apache shield from 1872 and the stuffed dog "Stubby", which later served as the inspiration for the Georgetown Hoyas mascot."

"First, Google should let users know what publishers they're working with and also remind people that some material in Google Scholar is culled directly from the open web."

"Second, they need to offer the Google definition what is and isn't "scholarly" material."

"Third, for several years its been documented (not directly by Google) that they don't crawl more than 101kb of an html web page. "

MSN's new Search

OK, you try it—it sure doesn't work on my old Mac. With Google Scholar (aka Schoogle) the hot topic on my library listservs, Microsoft is going to have to produce a miracle to get anybody to switch to this search engine. http://beta.search.msn.com/

And speaking of Microsoft, ditch Internet Explorer and go get Firefox, the new web browser, that is supposed to be way better. I've only used it a couple of time, but it is super fast and does nifty things. http://www.mozilla.org/ js

Google's done it again!

The paper today had the announcement that Google has released a search engine for academically respectable information. Try http://scholar.google.com then read about it at http://scholar.google.com/scholar/about.html. Not only has it partnered with OCLC, to include the Worldcat database, which can tell you which library has the book you want, but it has also worked with a some journal publishers to point to academic articles. Some of these are freefull-text online and others you will need to find through your local friendly academic library's subscription. Wow, it even does citation searching. Want to prove that you are an important scholar whom others cite in their work? Well you can use the ISI Citation indexes which cost big bucks OR you can search scholar.google.com. Obviously it will not be as complete as the thorough citation indexes, but it is a heck of a lot cheaper.

The complexity of information sources, their relationship to each other and new inventions like this scholar's Google makes the need for (library) information instruction more and more essential. USA graduates will need to function in a world in which information is like a liquid, constantly changing shape as new designs for delivery containers are devised. They need to learn the difference among a good wine, an expensive wine, a beautiful label and lovely bottle! js

To help you get into the Halloween spirit, check out these "scary" new federal government publications. The Government Documents Department is located on the 2nd floor, South in the University Library.

The 9/11 Commission report : final report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, [2004] Y 3.2: T 27/2/FINAL http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS51934

The Commission’s Final Report provides a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. It also includes recommendations designed to guard against future attacks.

Identity theft : assessing the problem and efforts to combat it : hearing … 108th Congress, 1st session, December 15, 2003. U.S. Congress, House of Representatives, Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, 2004.
Y 4.C 73/8: 108-60 http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS47422

One of the fastest growing white collar crimes in the US, the Federal Trade Commission estimates that each year 10 million Americans fall victim. The theft of Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, and related financial and personal information affects a victim’s life, i.e. good credit can be severely damaged to the point of preventing the legitimate purchase of a new car or house, and the damage can take months to correct.

Three Mile Island : a nuclear crisis in historical perspective / J. Samuel Walker. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 2004.
Y 3.N 88: 2 T 41 http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS47422

An accident at Unit 2 of the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania melted about half of the reactor's core and for a time generated fear that widespread radioactive contamination would result. The crisis ended without a major release of radiation or a need to order a general evacuation, but it pointed out that new approaches to nuclear regulation were essential.

I'm suffering from Pre-Election Stress Syndrome. I can't watch WEAR TV from Pensacola till Nov. 3rd--I get a tic in my eye while watching the campaign ads, as well as undirected anger and anxiety, and the desire to move to NYC or Dallas or anyplace that is not near a "battleground state" full of wolves and weasel words. AArrgghhh!

Since I need something soothing, maybe some chamomile tea, I thought I'd check out the herbal remedies available and found the Herbal Safety website of the Univ. of Texas, El Paso, through this week's Scout Report. It has an Herbal Factsheet on common herbal supplements including how they are used, what they are used for, and safety precautions. Will it be chamomile or hemlock, hmm?js

Creative Commons

Every semester I try to mention the Creative Commons, the website where you can get photos, music, books, and other stuff without having to jump through the usual copyright request-to-use and payment hassle. This is also where you can share your creative genius with the world, but the only reward is recognition--not cash. That's good in this greedy grubber world of ultra-capitalism. Maybe you will get famous giving your art or music or photos away, so that in the future your fans would even like to buy a creation or two. Read the CC agreements then borrow or create away!

Do you know how schools and public libraries can afford Internet connections? E-Rate. Tomorrow there is going to be a vote in Congress on whether to continue E-Rate. I got this from the Washington office of the ALA this morning:

IMPORTANT E-Rate Hearing Tomorrow -
Please call your Senators TODAY!

"Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 5th, the Senate Committee on Commerce ,Science, and Transportation will hold a hearing on problems in the E-Rate Program. It is vital that you contact your Senator TODAY and communicate the good the E-rate has done for America's libraries. If we want to preserve the E-rate, we have to act now! A front-page article in today's New York Times, "Internet Grants to Schools Halted as the F.C.C. Tightens the Rules," describes the moratorium on E-rate funding that has occurred in the past two months as the program has come under increasing scrutiny. This freeze in funding has already created significant hardship for libraries and schools across the country that depend on E-rate funds.

The E-rate program has been a great success for America's libraries. In 1996, only 28% of public libraries offered free Internet access topatrons; today that number has increased to more than 95%. Many libraries - particularly rural and inner-city libraries - depend on the E-rate to help them afford the vital services that empower patrons, neighborhoods, and communities.

Please take a moment TODAY to do your part in the fight to preserve the E-rate. Visit ALA's Legislative Action Center and send an e-mail letter to your Senator asking that he or she support the E-Rate program. After you send your e-mail to Congress, please choose to also send your message on the E-rate to your local newspapers through the Legislative Action Center. It is important that we get the word out about how vital the E-rate is to our libraries and communities. You may also call your Member of Congress directly using the U.S. Capitol switchboard at: (202) 224-3121. "

That's Dennis Guion, Circ Dept head, to the right--he's the expert on the new copiers.

Three new photocopiers arrived in the library this week and its like just about everything in libraries, as soon as you become really good at using the technology, "they" decide to change it. We are still learning how to use these machines, but if you have trouble ask at a service desk and we can figure it out together.

The machines are similar to the old ones with some exceptions. Copies are still 10¢, but no more filthy lucre, neither coins nor bills accepted. You need to buy (at the Circ Desk) an infinitely reusable copycard called a TracCard. First time will cost you 50¢ for the card, but that's a one-time charge if you keep the same card. Write your name on the card [and phone number, maybe] so when you forget to take the card out, we, being honest librarians, can return it to you!

We hope that these machines will make your lives and ours easier--at least after we've figured them out and before we upgrade to a newer, "better" model! js

I actually love this series by the Scottish doctor McCall Smith, whose main characters are inhabitants of a small city in Botswana. But I would probably recommend that you start with the first of the series The Number One Ladies' Detective Agency. And I would highly recommend borrowing the audiotapes from the public library--the wonderful reader makes these stories slow and mellow escapes from the reality of our too busy lives--really calming in the car when you are rushing from work to school to home and back again.

August 26th, 1920--Women win the right to vote!

After 72 years of campaigning, marching and lecturing, women finally win the right to vote on this date. Even then campaigners used sly tactics in their advertising. Many men said that women were too emotional to be allowed to vote, so in 1915, Alice Duer Miller, a suffragette, decided to use humor in the campaign:

Why We Don't Want Men to Vote

• Because man's place is in the army.
• Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it.
• Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer look up to them.
• Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms, and drums.
• Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government.

Second Day of Classes and already the warnings start! A New York Times article from this past Sunday in the Book Review section warns students about the pitfall of plagiarism on campus:

Dear Plagiarists: You Get What You Pay For
By SUZY HANSEN
Published: August 22, 2004

"But wait. So if you're a cheap cheat, your paper will be shoddy, but believable. If you're willing to dig deep for the custom-written papers, you might raise eyebrows. What a bind. Considering that it takes three to four hours to read ''The Great Gatsby'' and perhaps a night to write a short paper, what's actually more amazing is that students would risk their integrity, their education, their unlimited access to sexual experimentation -- all for freeing up 10 measly hours of their already limitless college time."
