Campus and community collaboration through cultural events I t is 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, and the library is hopping. Dozens of people pack into a small lecture room and listen intently as a faculty member's son and daughter give a cardtheater performance of "Momotaro: The Peach Boy." In the nearby seminar room, a lively group crowds around a table to learn how to make cucumber sushi rolls. The hallway bustles with students and community members waiting to try their hand at calligraphy or try on a yukata. Picture books of Japanese folk tales in English and Japanese compete for attention with Japanese architecture books, graphic novels, and maps. Clearly, it's not your ordinary weekend morning at an academic library. On No vember 18, 2006, Miami University (Ohio) Libraries hosted a Japanese cultural festival and readin called "Ohanashi: Discovering Japan Through Stories." 1 Sponsored by a grant from the Japan Foundation's Center for Global Partnership, the program sought to promote Japanese cultural education, while fostering ties between the library and campus and community organizations. Ohanashi was a fourhour event that attracted more than 600 participants from the campus and community, with some visi tors coming from more than an hour away. Librarians partnered with faculty, staff, and students from a number of departments and organizations including Education, Asian Studies, service learning, sororities and frater nities, and student service clubs. Community participants included local K-12 students and teachers, scout troops, homeschool groups, and public librarians and patrons.
LANGUAGEANSI Fortran 213 DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE When writing general programs in Fortran it is often necessary to vary the print formats according to the current values of program parameters. Thus, for example, the number of columns of a two-way table will depend on the number of levels of the columns factor. Different field widths and numbers of decimal places may also be required. When printing a three-way table it may be desirable to print two-way blocks of the table side by side.A single format statement, with the last item or group of items enclosed in brackets and a repetition factor greater than the maximum number of repetitions required, can cater for a variable number of columns in a two-way table, or of blocks in a three-way table, but not for other variations.ANSI Fortran provides for reading format specifications into arrays at run time. Such format specifications are adequate for varying the format for input as the required formats can readily be incorporated at the head of the sections of data to which they apply. They are ofless use for output as they do not conveniently cater for the situation in which many different formats are required, particularly when these formats depend on parameter values determined during the execution of the program.Some compilers allow the use of parameters in format statements, but many do not. Instead of reading formats at run time, however, appropriate format arrays can be set up. The Watfor manual (Cress et al., 1968)explains how this can be done; the subroutine given here formalizes this procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
