“…In general, the journals acquired through library vendors' databases tend to have relatively low citation impact. This is not surprising, since many vendors' databases are tailored to the needs of undergraduates, whose criteria for relevance are likely to be different from those of faculty and graduate students (Hulseberg & Twait, 2016;Taylor, 2013). Likewise, wanted journals in education and the life sciences tend to have lower JIF percentile scores than those in the other fields.…”

Using price quotes and invoices for thousands of full-text databases and single-journal subscriptions, this study confirms that for a typical master’s university, the journals acquired through commercial publishers’ databases cost substantially less than those acquired through the databases of scholarly societies, universities, and other nonprofits. Moreover, the lower prices of commercial publishers’ journals cannot be readily attributed to publisher size (number of journals published) or to any of several other explanatory variables. There is a weak, direct association between publisher size and price among the for-profit journals but a stronger, inverse relationship between publisher size and price among the nonprofit journals. These findings, along with the results of previous research, suggest that resource providers may have incentives to keep prices low due to the collection development strategies adopted by many teaching-oriented colleges and universities. If the library’s goal is to hold a sufficient number of high-quality journals rather than to provide immediate access to every wanted journal, particular journals and databases may be regarded as substitutes even when each product provides unique content. Many U.S. bachelor’s and master’s institutions have goals different from those of the major research universities, and commercial publishers (along with some of the larger nonprofits) seem to recognize this when setting and negotiating prices.

Kemampuan public speaking memiliki peluang yang sangat besar untuk menjadi sebuah profesi terkhusus pada generasi muda untuk menjadi warga negara global. Generasi muda yang terhimpun dalam Paguyuban Mojang Jajaka Kabupaten Subang berada dalam naungan Dinas Pariwisata, Kepemudaan dan Olahraga Kabupaten Subang memiliki tugas untuk menjadi seorang public speaker. Namun dengan pergantian pengurus Mojang Jajaka disetiap tahunnya menyebabkan penurunan kemampuan public speaking. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pengalaman dan pengetahuan mengenai teknik public speaking dan diharapkan pengurus Mojang Jajaka baru dapat memiliki pengetahuan serta pengalaman agar meningkatkan rasa percaya diri. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan melakukan tahapan pendekatan, praktik, dan pendampingan. Hasil dari pelatihan ini dapat meningkatkan kemampuan public speaking Mojang Jajaka. Kegiatan serupa harus lebih digiatkan pada lingkup yang lebih luas sehingga generasi muda kedepannya dapat memiliki kemampuan public speaking untuk menjadi bagian dari warga negara global.

“…Developing the research topic is a challenging task which involves many information activities with different sources at different places. Studies on students' topic exploration and development tended to focus on high school students (e.g., Cole et al, ; Kuhlthau, ), undergraduate students (e.g., Hulseberg & Twait, ; Wu et al, ), and doctoral students (e.g., Holliman & Jones, ; Isaac et al, 1989). Relatively few studies examined issues regarding topic development of master's students (e.g., Huang & Chen, ).…”

It is challenging for master's students, as novice researchers, to gather information throughout the process of thesis topic development. Information world mapping (IWM) provides a framework to depict a wide range of information activities and practices as well as the items, places, and relationships involved in a specific context from individuals' perspectives. The current study used IWM visual elicitation interviews to conduct a longitudinal study with 14 master's students at three iSchools. Since students typically develop their thesis topics throughout the first year in the master's program, each student was asked to draw an IWM during the interview after the first and second semesters ended. Situational analysis and qualitative content analysis were used to analyze the data. While students' IWMs remained similar in composition, their IWMs mainly changed in viewpoints of the world based on their work pace and relationships with various sources. Suggestions are provided based on the findings.
