The primary medium of communication for these professionals is the kurnal. Facili- tating access to relevant journal literature enhances the endeavors of researchers p..id practitioners professionally and academically. Applying this rationale to the profession of home economics, the objective of this project was the development of a cumulative index of home economics research literature published in four major English language home economics journals or sections thereof: the Home Economics Research Journal (U.S.A.), the Journal of Consumer Studies and Home Economic (U.K.), the Journal of Vocational Home Economics Education (U.S.A.), and the refereed section of the Canadian Home Economics Journal.Because 1972 marked the beginning of the first of the four journals (HERJ) or sections of them devoted solely to home economics research, the index began with articles published in 1972 with coverage up to, and including, 1986. This index provides easy access to the complementary and diverse efforts of researchers in many countries. The production of a cumulative index may appear to the uninitiated as a straightforward "mechanical" endeavor. To some extent this is true if the index is composed of a keyword-in-title index and an author/title index. However, if a subject index is added, the complexity of the project increases, especially if a comprehensive set of subject headings does not exist. Because of the diversity of topics covered in the four journals and the differences in terminology, it was deemed that a subject index was essential to maximize the benefit derived from a project of this nature. To begin this index project, the bibliographic data for the 945 articles contained in the four journals were entered into a computer readable file. These data could then be manipulated through the use of computer programs to yield the author and keyword-in-title indexes as well as the complete bibliography. The subject index required a further stepthe categorization of the articles. To subdivide the items in the four journals into meaningful segments for users of the index, 12 broad categories were established. These required subdivisions which resulted in the establishment of 56 subcategories. An article could be assigned to more than one category or subcategory and usually was. In fact, the 945 articles were given 1,823 places in the subject index which means that, on the average, each article had about two categories assigned. This subject index is only one of the four sections of the Index to Research in Home Economics. In addition, the index contains a keyword-in-title index, an author index and a listing of the cc,:nulete bibliographic details for each of the articles. A user of the cumulative index can identify the literature contained in the four journals through the use of the Subject Index, the Keyword-in-Title Index and the Author/Title Index. Each one of these sections has its unique features for directing the user to the relevant literature on specific topics. The novice user may find the subject index to be of greatest usefulness because familiarity with the literature is limited. The experienced researcher who is familiar with key concepts, terminology and authors, may find the keyword-in-title and author/title indexes to be more effective approaches tothe identification of key swirces of information. By combining the bibliographic data from four home economics journals containing signifi- cant contributions to the home economics body of knowledge, we believe this cumulative index provides scholars with a research tool which will facilitate wider use of the significant efforts of home economics researchers around the world. That, ultimately, is the goal.

    HOME ECONOMICS Five new models for domestic life Months Years Hours Days Decades British Pavilion, Venice Architecture Biennale 2016 en it HOME ECONOMICS proposes new models for the frontline of British architecture: the home. HOME ECONOMICS is the science of household management. It intervenes directly in the architecture of the home, responding to changes in life and social norms through the design of the everyday. HOME ECONOMICS asks urgent questions about the role of housing and domestic space in the material reality of familiar life. HOME ECONOMICS is a truly collaborative proposal challenging financial models, categories of ownership, forms of life, social and gender power relations. HOME ECONOMICS understands that in housing there can be no metaphors. Each model in Home Economics is a proposition driven by the conditions imposed on domestic life by varying periods of occupancy. They each address different facets of how we live today – from whether we can prevent property speculation, to whether sharing can be a form of luxury rather than a compromise. Home Economics presents five These models have been developed new models for domestic life curated in an intensely pragmatic way, through five periods of time.
