ALA’s Guide to Refer- ence Books was printed in eleven editions over nearly a century, and was succeeded in 2009 by the online Guide to Reference (www.guideto reference .org). The Guide to Reference segments, drawn from the online Guide, continue that tradition with expertly compiled, annotated bib- liographies of reference works and serve as snapshots of the evolving content of the Guide. Although intended for use largely in North American libraries serv- ing institutions of higher education, the segments will also be valuable to public and school librarians, independent researchers, publishers and book dealers, as well as librarians outside North America, for tasks such as identifying sources that will answer questions, directing researchers, creating local instructional materials, educating and training LIS students and reference staff, and inventorying and developing reference collections. These guides provide a usably comprehensive, rather than exhaustive, rep- ertory of sources as the foundation for reference and information services in today’s higher education settings. They include works that can most usefully satisfy the vast majority of demands made on a reference service, while not altogether excluding “exotic” or little- known works that will meet only the unusual need. In addition to providing classifi ed annotated bibliographies, topical sections include editors’ guides that orient readers to each subject, its scope and concerns, and the types of sources commonly consulted. The editors’ guides will be useful to the generalist librarian and to the LIS stu- dent as background to the bibliographies or as intellectual frameworks for addressing reference questions. vii www.alastore.ala.org FOREWORD The reader will fi nd entries for works that are, for the most part, broadly focused; works on individual persons or with a narrow geo- graphical or chronological focus are generally not included. Selection criteria favored titles published in the last twenty years; the reader may consult earlier printed bibliographies and indexes, such as the numerous print editions of the Guide to Reference Books, for many earlier and still important works. As libraries shift their print reference works to the gen- eral stacks or to remote locations, the online Guide and its older print edi- tions may help to identify reference works that are no longer close at hand. Sources in the Guide include websites, search engines, and full- text databases as well as the traditional array of encyclopedic, bibliographic, and compendious works. Online sources have replaced their printed ver- sions for most librarians under most circumstances. A source only appears in one format; its annotation will identify the format options and describe the relationships between online and print versions. New reference works or editions are not automatically included in the Guide. Selection criteria favor sources that have stood some test of time and utility, as well as sources that are free but authoritative or sources that require purchase or licensing and are held at enough libraries to be reasonably available to readers of the Guide. The reader is encouraged to peruse the annotations of entries in the same subcategory as known items. An annotation may contain extensive cross references to related sources that are not described separately as well as comparisons to related sources, indications of appropriate audiences for the source, and other details that provide signifi cant added value. In the online Guide to Reference, titles mentioned in the annotations of sources are linked electronically to citations; however, readers using the segments need to consult WorldCat or a similar source to obtain full citations for titles. In an attempt to balance inclusion and exhaustion, a source may be included in several but not necessarily all relevant subcategories. This segment on Genealogy and Biography Sources includes sources for each patron and librarian in every type of library. Biographies are cen- tral to any general reference collection. When a person cannot be found in standard biographical sources, genealogical sources offer excellent starting points for research. Also, genealogists often consult biographical sources as part of their family history research. Biographical and genealogical reference have been revolutionized by online indexing tools such as Biography and Genealogy Master Index and online full- text sources, including World Biographical Information System, Biography in Context, and Biography Reference Bank. For biography, initial searching is usually electronic, but the online sources often lead to still- valuable printed sources. Reference sources have grown tremendously in biography and genealogy. In biography, online sources frequently supple- ment rather than replace printed resources; whereas in genealogy, online viii www.alastore.ala.org FOREWORD sources more frequently replace printed resources. The primary areas in genealogy where print is still important are research manuals, heraldry, and onomastics. In the future, new electronic biographical and genea- logical sources and digitalized versions of old print sources will become increasingly important. Reference librarians have a responsibility for developing valuable ref- erence collections, regardless of format. Local needs and circumstances should determine the fi nal set of core works for individual libraries– – which sources in your library are basic sources that would be frequently used for certain types of queries as a place to start in locating information. Within these limitations, this segment will be useful in evaluating and updating basic reference collections. Guide to Reference in Genealogy and Biography will assist instructors and LIS students as well as paraprofessional staff in learning basic refer- ence sources. For professionals, keeping up in the fi eld has always been important. But rapid changes in technology require even more emphasis on professional development in the 21st century. Yet, knowledge of reference sources still remains an important factor in many successful reference trans- actions. Along with search engines and search techniques, reference sources are continually evolving. Thus, knowledge and skills require constant updat- ing. Experienced reference librarians will want to use this annotated list of sources to assess their knowledge of sources and to become acquainted with sources they have not previously used. We on the Guide to Reference team hope you fi nd the segments help- ful, and we welcome your comments at guidetoreference @ala .org. To get the full benefi t of the comprehensive compilation in a wide range of sub- ject areas as well as updates to each segment, we also encourage you to subscribe to the online Guide, where you have access to updated entries, annotations, user comments, and special features such as personal notes and

Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer
    cancers Review Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer Viktoriia Cherkasova, Olga Kovalchuk * and Igor Kovalchuk * Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 7X8, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.K.); [email protected] (I.K.) Simple Summary: In recent years, multiple preclinical studies have shown that changes in endo- cannabinoid system signaling may have various effects on intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer. However, not all tumors can respond to cannabinoid therapy in the same manner. Given that colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different genomic landscapes, experiments with cannabinoids should involve different molecular subtypes, emerging mutations, and various stages of the disease. We hope that this review can help researchers form a comprehensive understanding of cannabinoid interactions in colorectal cancer and intestinal bowel diseases. We believe that selecting a particular experimental model based on the disease’s genetic landscape is a crucial step in the drug discovery, which eventually may tremendously benefit patient’s treatment outcomes and bring us one step closer to individualized medicine. Abstract: Despite the multiple preventive measures and treatment options, colorectal cancer holds a significant place in the world’s disease and mortality rates. The development of novel therapy is in Citation: Cherkasova, V.; Kovalchuk, critical need, and based on recent experimental data, cannabinoids could become excellent candidates. O.; Kovalchuk, I.

  • Articles Male Mythological Beings Among the South Slavs Joseph L
    3 Articles Male Mythological Beings Among the South Slavs Joseph L. Conrad University of Kansas The South Slavs have a long tradition of belief in protective domestic spirits and in malevolent demons of the field, forest and water.(1) Such mythological creatures were prevalent among all Slavic peoples and are part of the common Indo-European heritage.(2) Whereas most beliefs of this type receded among the East and West Slavs by the end of the nineteenth century, they were maintained in many areas of the Balkans until the beginning of the Second World War.(3) Ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the 1960s-1980s has shown that many farmers and stockbreeders in the more remote villages (of former Yugoslavia) have not abandoned their traditional beliefs. For example, the protector housesnake,(4) mischievous forest and dangerous water spirits, and many lesser mythological beings have been reported in several South Slavic territories in the last forty years. Many traditional domestic rituals have their origin in the conviction that the family ancestor's spirit resides under the threshold or near the open hearth and, if properly cared for, will ensure happiness and good fortune for the family. In Russia that spirit was manifest in the domovoj, "house spirit," but as this name itself was taboo, he was referred to in euphemisms such as ded or deduška, "grandfather," and xozjain "master." Offerings of food, especially bread and salt, the traditional symbols of hospitality, were routinely left for the domovoj at night before the family retired. The

  • Slavic Folk Beliefs Regarding the Spots of the Moon
    ON THE METHODS OF CONSTRUCTING A MYTHOLOGICAL TEXT: SLAVIC FOLK BELIEFS REGARDING THE SPOTS OF THE MOON Aleksandr Gura Abstract: The dark spots visible on the surface of the full Moon have been diversely interpreted in the Slavic folk calendar, with a partial overlapping being noted upon the consolidation of relevant thematic groups. The article provides an overview regarding the explanations, concerning the origin of lunar spots, widespread among the Slavic people. The comparative analysis of the Slavic narratives on lunar spots indicates the distribution of the text into dif- ferent morphological elements, enables the ascertaining of mutual correlations and combinations, and shows how they are being used to “assemble”, construct texts in different regional traditions, determining the “grammatical” structure of the mythological text as a whole. Key words: mythology, lunar spots, Slavic folklore Different interpretations, within the Slavic folk calendar, attributed to the dark spots visible on the surface of the full Moon, can be consolidated into several partially overlapping thematic groups. ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR SPOTS WITH DIRTINESS The first group of interpretations (mainly among the Bulgarians, and partially among the Macedonians and Croatians) is associated with cows and cow dung. Pursuant to such explanations, the stains on the Moon are either a cow with a large udder (Mazneva 1946: 109) or a pear tree emptied of the fruit by God’s cow which thereafter became a Moon (ArhEIM 879-II: 72). Most frequently, however, the stains are the traces of a cowpat or ox faeces. The Moon thrown on the earth by a witch had stained itself in the cowpat excreted by a cow passing the Moon (ArhEIM 881-II: 108), or the cowpat was thrown on to the Moon in order for the latter not to shine as brightly.

  • The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
    From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.

  • The Indexing of Welsh Personal Names
    The indexing of Welsh personal names Donald Moore Welsh personal names sometimes present the indexer with problems not encountered when dealing with English names. The Welsh patronymic system of identity is the most obvious; this was normal in the Middle Ages, and traces of its usage survived into the mid-nineteenth century. Patronymics have since been revived as alternative names in literary and bardic circles, while a few individuals, inspired by the precedents of history, are today attempting to use them regularly in daily life. Other sorts of alternative names, too, have been adopted by writers, poets, artists and musicians, to such effect that they are often better known to the Welsh public than the real names. A distinctive pseudonym has a special value in Wales, where a restricted selection of both first names and surnames has been the norm for the last few centuries. Apart from the names themselves, there is in Welsh a linguistic feature which can be disconcerting to those unfamiliar with the language: the 'mutation' or changing of the initial letter of a word in certain phonetic and syntactic contexts. This can also occur in place-names, which were discussed by the present writer in The Indexer 15 (1) April 1986. Some of the observations made there about the Welsh language will be relevant here also. Indexing English names 'Fitzwarin family' under 'F' and 'Sir John de la Mare' According to English practice a person is indexed under 'D' (the last, though French, being domiciled in under his or her surname. First names, taken in England).1 alphabetical order, word by word, are then used to Indexing Welsh names determine the sequence of entries when the same English conventions of nomenclature apply today in surname recurs in the index ('first' = 'Christian' = Wales as much as in England, but there are three 'baptismal' = 'given' = 'forename').

  • What's in an Irish Name?
    What’s in an Irish Name? A Study of the Personal Naming Systems of Irish and Irish English Liam Mac Mathúna (St Patrick’s College, Dublin) 1. Introduction: The Irish Patronymic System Prior to 1600 While the history of Irish personal names displays general similarities with the fortunes of the country’s place-names, it also shows significant differences, as both first and second names are closely bound up with the ego-identity of those to whom they belong.1 This paper examines how the indigenous system of Gaelic personal names was moulded to the requirements of a foreign, English-medium administration, and how the early twentieth-century cultural revival prompted the re-establish- ment of an Irish-language nomenclature. It sets out the native Irish system of surnames, which distinguishes formally between male and female (married/ un- married) and shows how this was assimilated into the very different English sys- tem, where one surname is applied to all. A distinguishing feature of nomen- clature in Ireland today is the phenomenon of dual Irish and English language naming, with most individuals accepting that there are two versions of their na- me. The uneasy relationship between these two versions, on the fault-line of lan- guage contact, as it were, is also examined. Thus, the paper demonstrates that personal names, at once the pivots of individual and group identity, are a rich source of continuing insight into the dynamics of Irish and English language contact in Ireland. Irish personal names have a long history. Many of the earliest records of Irish are preserved on standing stones incised with the strokes and dots of ogam, a 1 See the paper given at the Celtic Englishes II Colloquium on the theme of “Toponyms across Languages: The Role of Toponymy in Ireland’s Language Shifts” (Mac Mathúna 2000).
