  • Making Institutional Repositories Work “Making Institutional Repositories Work Sums It up Very Well
    Making Institutional Repositories Work “Making Institutional Repositories Work sums it up very well. This book, the first of its kind, explains how IRs work and how to get the greatest re- sults from them. As many of us know, numerous IRs launched with high hopes have in fact languished with lackluster results. Faculty have little in- terest, and administrators see little promise. But the many chapter authors of this very well edited book have made their IRs successful, and here they share their techniques and successes. This is a necessary book for anyone contemplating starting an IR or looking to resurrect a moribund one.” — Richard W. Clement Dean, College of University Libraries & Learning Sciences University of New Mexico “This volume presents an interesting cross-section of approaches to in- stitutional repositories in the United States. Just about every view and its opposite makes an appearance. Readers will be able to draw their own con- clusions, depending on what they see as the primary purpose of IRs.” — Stevan Harnad Professor, University of Québec at Montréal & University of Southampton “Approaching this volume as one of ‘those of us who have been furiously working to cultivate thriving repositories,’ I am very excited about what this text represents. It is a broad compilation featuring the best and brightest writing on all the topics I’ve struggled to understand around re- positories, and it also marks a point when repository management and de- velopment is looking more and more like a core piece of research library work. Callicott, Scherer, and Wesolek have pulled together all the things I wished I’d been able to read in my first year as a scholarly communication librarian.

For the 1968-69 academic year, a pilot project was established fiir 16 students.This project ok educational audiology was designed to explore the educational resources of USU, compare hard-of-hearing and hearing students, and compare hard-of-hearing students at USU and Gallaudet College. An analysis was also made of course features and classroom acoustics that facilitated learning. Experience with the program showed that it was feasible to develop an institute for the hard of hearing.at a regular university, and that administrative, faculty, and student sources were available to help with the pilot project. A proposal has been made to continue the program for 5 years. (BC) f .1* 1 PROGRESS REPORT RD2766-8-69 UNIVERSITY HABILITATION OF YOUNG HARD OF HEARING ADULTS UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Frederick S.

  • Honoring Leonard Arrington
    Honoring Leonard Arrington Stanford Cazier How DOES ONE CAPTURE LEONARD ARRINGTON? It is a pleasure to attempt, but certainly no easy task. I see Leonard as scientists see nature: in four dimensions. But just as scientists are now discovering and exploring the fifth dimension and beyond, my portrait of Leonard will be incomplete. First, I see Leonard, the Man; the gentle and kindly optimist. Second, there is Leonard, the Scholar; the indefatigable producer of articles and books, the exemplar of the mind in action. Third, there is Leonard, the Mentor; the friend of would- be scholars, the source of steady encouragement, the reservoir of ideas to be explored. And finally, there is Leonard, the Institution; the standard-bearer of an era, the entrepreneur of a genre that some refer to as the New Mormon History. Leonard, the Man, charges the atmosphere of every encounter with the energy of his personality but never offends. Even in moments of triumph, he does not raise his arms in victory but stands aside in unassuming modesty. He insists on sharing any accrued glory with others, with his "team." Many have been lifted by his buoyancy, his resilience, and his steadiness. His constant friendship is predictable, genuine to the core. His concern for others, his good will, his careful avoidance of self-pity are well known. I have known Leonard for more than a quarter of a century, and I have never seen him upset over any personal abuse or slight. If he has dis- played righteous indignation, it has always been in behalf of a colleague who might have been misinterpreted or misrepresented, or in defense of a moral issue.
