Summary
Academic libraries can identify faculty-authored ebooks using MARCEdit and Microsoft Access. This method aids in curating and discovering institutional scholarly content within library collections.
Area of Science:
- Library and Information Science
- Scholarly Communication
- Digital Curation
Background:
- Electronic books (ebooks) are integral to academic library collections.
- Discoverability of library resources is a key objective for academic institutions.
- Identifying institutional scholarly output is crucial for demonstrating impact and supporting researchers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and implement a methodology for identifying and flagging ebooks authored by institutional faculty.
- To address challenges associated with creating a comprehensive list of faculty-authored ebooks.
- To establish measures for actively curating both existing and newly published faculty ebooks.
Main Methods:
- Utilized MARCEdit software for data manipulation and analysis of library catalog records.
- Employed Microsoft Access for database management and systematic organization of ebook data.
- Developed a workflow to systematically identify and tag ebooks linked to institutional faculty authorship.
Main Results:
- Successfully created a methodology to identify and flag ebooks authored by institutional faculty.
- Documented specific challenges encountered during the data collection and curation process.
- Outlined practical measures for ongoing curation of faculty-authored ebooks.
Conclusions:
- The developed methodology provides a scalable solution for academic libraries to manage faculty-authored ebook collections.
- Active curation strategies are essential for maintaining discoverability and relevance of institutional digital scholarship.
- This approach enhances the visibility of faculty research output within the academic library ecosystem.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

01:17The Scope of Physics
53.0K
Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

8.4K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

01:14Identifying Statistically Significant Differences: The F-Test
3.8K
The F-test is used to compare two sample variances to each other or compare the sample variance to the population variance. It is used to decide whether an indeterminate error can explain the difference in their values. The underlying assumptions that allow the use of the F-test include the data set or sets are normally distributed, and the data sets are independent of each other. The test statistic F is calculated by dividing one variance by another. In other words, the square of one standard...

01:13Data Collection by Experiments
27.5K
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
