Publ. 895 146 pages (Dec. 1996) CODEN: NSPUE2 FOREWORD The mission of the Office of Information Services (OIS) is "to create and implement a coordinated, cohesive NIST-wide plan of action which supports NIST's mission by identifying, collecting, organizing, and disseminating knowledge from all appropriate sources and types to as broad an audience as possible and desirable." In fulfilling this mission, the OIS NIST Research Library collects and supports information resources regardless of the form in which they appear or the source from which they emanate. Recognizing that the NIST Research Library cannot collect all knowledge, it seeks to augment its collections by identifying and providing access to a broad variety of bibliographic and full-text databases. Access is provided through subscription to vendor services, such as Knight-Ridder Information, Incorporated,' or by the acquisition of databases on CD-ROM. The NIST Research Library supports access through the services of information consultants (research librarians) specially trained to assist the NIST technical staff in formulating and carrying out searches, thereby facilitating effective and efficient use of the databases. In addition, the OIS has initiated a NIST Virtual Library Program (NVL) providing NIST-wide online access from the staffs desktop computer to a variety of information resources and services, regardless of the form or the source of the information. Through special licensing agreements, the NVL is providing access from the desktop to a selection of these remote or CD-ROM databases, which, in some cases, facilitate or provide online desktop access to the full text of the desired information. For example. Computer Select is a database providing access to the abstracts or full text of articles from a selection of journals covering computer technology, the industry, and consumer news. This is available for use in the NIST Research Library, and is accessible on the desktop by networking the CD-ROM on the NVL. Through an agreement with the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), the NVL provides access to bibliographic citations to articles, and in some cases to the full text of articles, in over 9,000 journals included through the Article First service. The capability of online ordering of the journal articles is also provided. This publication lists databases by acronyms and full titles. Citations also include dates covered, brief descriptions, kinds of information each contains, producers, the titles of corresponding hard copy, and vendors. (Databases in the LEXIS/NEXIS service are too numerous to mention individually in this report.) An asterisk (*) in the vendor's column denotes availability of the CD-ROM format of the database in the NIST Research Library. A list of vendors with addresses and telephone numbers precedes the list. The General Subject Index is arranged alphabetically by subject categories, and the Cross Reference Index lists variant forms of the names of the databases in the left column with cross references to the name of the database used in this publication on the right. A list of Full Text Databases is also included. Following the main database list, is a separate list of databases available on CD-ROM. If you are interested in a literature search, call 301/975-3052 or see an Information Specialist in the NIST Research Library. For additions or changes that have occurred since the publication of this report, please contact an Information Consultant.

    Media Coverage of Ceos: Who? What? Where? When? Why?

    Media Coverage of CEOs: Who? What? Where? When? Why? James T. Hamilton Sanford Institute of Public Policy Duke University [email protected] Richard Zeckhauser Kennedy School of Government Harvard University [email protected] Draft prepared for March 5-6, 2004 Workshop on the Media and Economic Performance, Stanford Institute for International Studies, Center on Development, Democracy, and the Rule of Law. We thank Stephanie Houghton and Pavel Zhelyazkov for expert research assistance. Media Coverage of CEOs: Who? What? Where? When? Why? Abstract: Media coverage of CEOs varies predictably across time and outlets depending on the audience demands served by reporters, incentives pursued by CEOs, and changes in real economic indicators. Coverage of firms and CEOs in the New York Times is countercyclical, with declines in real GDP generating increases in the average number of articles per firm and CEO. CEO credit claiming follows a cyclical pattern, with the number of press releases mentioning CEOs and profits, earnings, or sales increasing as monthly business indicators increase. CEOs also generate more press releases with soft news stories as the economy and stock market grow. Major papers, because of their focus on entertainment, offer a higher percentage of CEO stories focused on soft news or negative news compared to CEO articles in business and finance outlets. Coverage of CEOs is highly concentrated, with 20% of chief executives generating 80% of coverage. Firms headed by celebrity CEOs do not earn higher average shareholder returns in the short or long run. For some CEOs media coverage equates to on-the-job consumption of fame.

    Knight News Challenge Casting the Net Wide for Innovation A quest for fresh ideas and a dose of humility drive the Knight News Challenge BY CHRISTOPHER CONNELL THE KNIGHT NEWS CHALLENGE reviewers, meeting at the foundation’s headquarters in a Miami skyscraper overlooking Biscayne Bay, were divided over one intriguing entry. A 25-year-old freelance tech reporter and blogger wanted to pioneer a new, public subscription model for investigative journalism. David Cohn wanted to launch a website in San Francisco where reporters could pitch ideas for stories and invite the public to contribute small amounts, on the order of $10 to $50, to underwrite the investigations. The public – the crowd – would decide which stories to go after. When enough money came in – as little as a few hundred – as much as several thousand dollars, the reporter would go out and do the job. Spot.Us, as Cohn dubbed his brainchild, would publish the results on its website, but also look for other media outlets for the work. It wasn’t that people didn’t think it was a good idea. But there That the lean, scruffy Cohn could go from graduate were a lot of questions and much student at the Columbia School of Journalism to media discussion about special interests innovator capable of placing stories in The New York Times seemed, at the time, a pipedream.

  • 23. Baltic Perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy

    23. Baltic Perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy

    23. Baltic perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy Elzbieta Tromer I. Introduction Given the choice between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Euro- pean Security and Defence Policy as providers of their national security, the Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania—look to the USA. One reason is their perception of Russia as a source of instability. Another is their lack of con- fidence in the ability of the ESDP to deal with present-day threats. Although these three states are eager to be ‘normal’ members of the European Union and thus to join in its initiatives, their enthusiasm for the EU’s development of its own military muscle is lukewarm. An EU with some military capability but without the USA’s military strength and leadership holds little promise for them. Since the ESDP vehicle is already on the move, the Baltic states see their main function as ensuring coordination between the ESDP and NATO. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania want to be ‘Atlanticists from within the ESDP’.1 The Baltic states see themselves as exposed to challenges similar to those confronting the Nordic countries: notably the challenge of the new transatlantic dynamic, which makes it almost impossible to avoid taking sides between the US and Europe on an increasing range of global and specific issues. Being torn in this way is bound to be especially painful for Scandinavian [and Baltic] societies which have strong ties of history, culture and values with both sides of the Atlantic, and which in strategic terms are relatively dependent both on American military and European economic strength.2 The Nordic countries are seen by the Baltic states as allies in this context.

Scarletto This study analyzed citations in four journals, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Cartography and Geographic Information Science, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, and Cartographic Journal, using Bradford’s Law of Scattering to identify three influence zones indicating core and peripheral titles in the study areas of GIS. Journals were ranked resulting in twenty-three core journals and 187 secondary journals. Scores for relevant indexing/abstracting services are also given to describe access points and coverage.
