In a study at Bryn Mawr College Library, users' perceptions of the existing card catalog and their attitudes towards computers were investigated in an attempt to discover the difficulties facing library planners in designing and implementing an online catalog. Results show that users are content with the current card catalog and hesitate changing to a new system. 56% would prefer to keep the card catalog rather than switch to a computerized catalog containing identical information. When the pie is sweetened by indicating that more information and greater convenience could result from an OPAC, only 17% still prefer a card catalog. Studies of use of the public OCLC terminal in Bryn Mawr's main library indicate that confusion and timidity prevent many from utilizing the facility. Greater effort at educating users is needed in order to overcome their resistance to online catalogs.Item Open Access Building a Digital Collection in CONTENTdm®(University of Oregon.

The government secretly buried his body in an unmarked grave in an effort to prevent his elevation to the state of a martyr. In the face of riots, rallies, and promises of vengeance, coming primarily from students, the oligarchy outwardly lamented the loss of the sheep gone astray. "El Tiempo", one of the primary organs of the oligarchy, wrote, "Unfortunately his very vocation of service, which was generous and unselfish in him, carried him to extremes and led him first to separate from the priesthood and then to change his cassock for the clothes of a guerilla, in a country where today such activity lacks all justification and even all revolutionary significance." In that same year, in Colombia's mammoth neighbor to the east, Brazil, students were protesting the abolition of the direct vote for the upcoming presidential elections. Alarmed at the virulent manner in which the "revolutionary " government was repressing the protests, the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Dom Helder Camara, began establishing for himself the reputation of being the Red Archbishop by supporting the students and by expressing concern over "the violations against the living temple" (physical violence) perpetrated by the government. This paper examines the stories of these two priests-turned-revolutionaries.Item Open Access Cataloging for the 21st century: a proposal for continuing education for cataloging professionals(American Library Association, ALCTS and the University of Oregon Libraries, 2003-08-08) Hixson, Carol G.; Canaan, Judith P.; Darling, Karen; Johanson, Cinder; Kimberly, Laura; Letarte, Karen; Medeiros, Norm; Wendler, RobinThis proposal was prepared by the Continuing Education Task Force (CETF) in response to a charge to “prepare a model curriculum for continuing education in cataloging of e-resources and metadata” which should “address a variety of metadata types, interoperability issues; and general principles, practices and workflows for metadata projects” and “recommend specific changes and additions to continuing education programs,” and “cover the period through 2005.” The task force considered the proposal of the LIS Education Task Force (Action Item 5.1) for a revised LIS curriculum to educate new professionals in preparing this report.Item Open Access The Censoring of Critical Thinking in the United States – the Fear of “the Other”(Carol G.
