  • Browsing Through Bias: the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies
    Browsing through Bias: The Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies Sara A. Howard and Steven A. Knowlton Abstract The knowledge organization system prepared by the Library of Con- gress (LC) and widely used in academic libraries has some disadvan- tages for researchers in the fields of African American studies and LGBTQIA studies. The interdisciplinary nature of those fields means that browsing in stacks or shelflists organized by LC Classification requires looking in numerous locations. As well, persistent bias in the language used for subject headings, as well as the hierarchy of clas- sification for books in these fields, continues to “other” the peoples and topics that populate these titles. This paper offers tools to help researchers have a holistic view of applicable titles across library shelves and hopes to become part of a larger conversation regarding social responsibility and diversity in the library community.1 Introduction The neat division of knowledge into tidy silos of scholarly disciplines, each with its own section of a knowledge organization system (KOS), has long characterized the efforts of libraries to arrange their collections of books. The KOS most commonly used in American academic libraries is the Li- brary of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC, developed between 1899 and 1903 by James C. M. Hanson and Charles Martel, is based on the work of Charles Ammi Cutter. Cutter devised his “Expansive Classification” to em- body the universe of human knowledge within twenty-seven classes, while Hanson and Martel eventually settled on twenty (Chan 1999, 6–12). Those classes tend to mirror the names of academic departments then prevail- ing in colleges and universities (e.g., Philosophy, History, Medicine, and Agriculture).

  • 55Th Biennial Convention Elects New Council
    Fall, 1984 Vol. 101, No. 3 Mollie Fitzgerald, an undergraduate member of ~B - Duke, is welcoming faU with her newly released book The On Campus Cookbook. 55th Biennial Convention Elects New Council praised the combined attention of active and alumnae mem­ bers to the membership selection process and proposed a personnal challenge in stating, "The awareness of the danger of alcohol abuse and an understanding that Kappa has a respon­ sibility to help their members make sound choices about their use of alcohol continues to be one of the greatest challenges." (Over 80 chapters had some kind of alcohol related program during the past biennium.) She mentioned that we are in the era of "It's Great to be Greek" and many members are partici­ pating in Panhellenic. In the last 20 years more than a million new members have joined NPC member groups. Kappas continue to uphold philanthropic endeavors with a total of $380,000 awarded to scholarships during the bienni­ um. "Every single one of us can buy a Kappa magazine sub­ scription through the Rose McGill Agency housed at Fraterni­ ty Headquarters," said President Nitschke as she viewed the spirit of Kappa is giving to others. New resources unveiled at convention included: Revised Ad­ ventures in Leadership, A Guide to Scholarship, Manual for Pledge Chairmen, Songs of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Revised Book of Devotions, Keys to Housing, Graphics Manual, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Professional Directory. An inspirational Memorial Service paid tribute to all Kappas who passed away during the biennium; a stirring President's Dinner featured seven former presidents with Helen Snyder Steiner speaking as the ranking president- her 27th Fraternity convention; a KappaFair unparalleled where resource people were available to answer any and all questions; a cookout at Mummy Mountain with skit; "Kids on the Block" came to the philanthropy dinner; and an encounter with " Sun Signs and Marian Klingbeil Williams, 0 - Missouri Fraternity President Spirit Circles" at the candlelight banquet are all moments to be remembered.

    TERRORIST AND ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN THE TRI-BORDER AREA (TBA) OF SOUTH AMERICA A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Crime and Narcotics Center Director of Central Intelligence July 2003 (Revised December 2010) Author: Rex Hudson Project Manager: Glenn Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 205404840 Tel: 2027073900 Fax: 2027073920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 55 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2003 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Tri-Border Area (TBA) PREFACE This report assesses the activities of organized crime groups, terrorist groups, and narcotics traffickers in general in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, focusing mainly on the period since 1999. Some of the related topics discussed, such as governmental and police corruption and anti–money-laundering laws, may also apply in part to the three TBA countries in general in addition to the TBA. This is unavoidable because the TBA cannot be discussed entirely as an isolated entity. Based entirely on open sources, this assessment has made extensive use of books, journal articles, and other reports available in the Library of Congress collections. It is based in part on the author’s earlier research paper entitled “Narcotics-Funded Terrorist/Extremist Groups in Latin America” (May 2002). It has also made extensive use of sources available on the Internet, including Argentine, Brazilian, and Paraguayan newspaper articles. One of the most relevant Spanish-language sources used for this assessment was Mariano César Bartolomé’s paper entitled Amenazas a la seguridad de los estados: La triple frontera como ‘área gris’ en el cono sur americano [Threats to the Security of States: The Triborder as a ‘Grey Area’ in the Southern Cone of South America] (2001).

  • HOW ARE THEIR NEEDS BEING MET? Submitted by Bernadette Anayah
    DISSERTATION INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES: HOW ARE THEIR NEEDS BEING MET? Submitted by Bernadette Anayah School of Education In partial fulfillment of requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2012 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Linda Kuk Timothy Davies Nathalie Kees Deborah Young Copyright by Bernadette Anayah 2012 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES: HOW ARE THEIR NEEDS BEING MET? An emerging trend today is the increased enrollment of international students at community colleges. International students look to American community colleges as a stepping stone to achieving an education that might otherwise be beyond their reach. They are attracted to the community college by the lower tuition costs, opportunities for guaranteed transfer to a four- year university, and the opportunity to study at a variety of geographical locations throughout the United States. California is one of the most popular destinations for international students in the United States. In 2011, more than 23,000 international students were enrolled in California’s 112 community colleges. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experience of international students at selected California community colleges and explore how they perceive their needs and expectations are being met. Twenty nine international students from 19 countries were interviewed at seven California community colleges with small, medium, and large international student programs. The phenomenological interview was used as the primary method of data collection. The interview questions were open-ended and allowed the participants to discuss the wide and varied nature of their experience as international students at community colleges.
