“…In moving away from print forms, one concern among archivists, librarians, and researchers revolves around the ephemeral nature of data on the Internet (Hughes 2002; Thibodeau 2002; Rosenzweig 2003). “Preserving hypertextually linked web pages poses the further problem that to save a single page in its full complexity could ultimately require you to preserve the entire web, because virtually every web page is linked to every other” (Rosenzweig 2003:17).…”

The Use of the Talmudic Format for the Presentation of Qualitative Research

In this article, I propose to adapt the Talmud, a Jewish religious text, for the written representation of qualitative research. The form and the style of argumentation in and engendered by the Talmud can be adapted to present qualitative methods in a way that transcends the limitations of conventional formats. In addition, this format requires even greater participation in the act of reading. Because the Talmudic format uniquely addresses the difficulties involved in representing everyday life, I argue that adapting the format of the Talmud is ideal for giving voice, for presenting multiple and competing narratives alongside documents, and for further problematizing any simple notion of truth and authority.

“…Library users express a preference of online to print journals for convenience (Hughes, 2002). SEL customer surveys show that users select online journals for a variety of reasons, such as remote access and anytime availability.…”

“…One reason may be that for libraries with print volumes and less pressing space constraints, it may be simplest to leave the print collection as is. There may also be several other reasons, including distrust of the permanence or stability of electronic archiving (Duranceau, 1998; Flecker, 2001; Hughes, 2002; Reich and Rosenthal, 2003) and maintaining the traditional role of libraries as repositories (Duranceau, 1998; Scherlen, 2004). Furthermore, electronic journals do not always duplicate the print exactly.…”

Collection Building

Purpose -Limited physical and financial resources and changing customer behaviors compelled the University of Arizona Science-Engineering Library to pursue more flexible collection management options, such as removing print copies of journals as the library purchased the electronic backfiles. The purpose of this paper is to describe a process used at the library to compare electronic journals to their print counterparts. Design/methodology/approach -The library's approach was to study the electronic content provided through Elsevier's ScienceDirect for completeness and quality of text and images. This was to ensure that the removal of print would minimally impact library customers while reclaiming building space that could be better utilized to meet changing customer needs. Findings -The process uncovered the reality that the electronic backfiles were not always adequate substitutes for print copies. In response, it was necessary to open a dialogue with the publisher to share the library's findings that resulted in improved electronic backfiles. Originality/value -This paper weighs the advantages and disadvantages of taking a transformational approach to collection management.
