Demonstrating Library Impact Through Acknowledgment: An Examination of Acknowledgments in Theses and Dissertations

Academic libraries are increasingly seeking ways to demonstrate their impact on student learning. Acknowledgments - formal statements of indebtedness – in graduate theses and dissertations provide a rather unexplored area for demonstrating impact of the academic library on student learning. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods to characterize acknowledgments of the Texas A&M University Libraries (TAMU Libraries) in theses and dissertations, both overall and for three disciplines specifically: civil engineering, geography, and history. This study also searched for mentions of the TAMU Libraries throughout the entire body of theses and dissertations. Overall, acknowledgments to the TAMU Libraries in theses and dissertations were less than 1%, though acknowledgments were found in all three disciplines with over a quarter of the history theses and dissertations containing an acknowledgment to libraries. There was no statistically significant difference found between the numbers of acknowledgments in theses versus dissertations. Acknowledgments to the TAMU Libraries were found in the theses and dissertations of 28 different departments. Mentions to the TAMU Libraries – not necessarily a formal acknowledgment – were found throughout the text of theses and dissertations with most concentrated in the acknowledgment, method, and bibliography sections.

对建筑物申请诉讼保全的代理实务

建筑物因为具有价值大、不易移动、隐匿、毁损等优点,时常成为律师代理财产保全案件的首选对象.但建筑物在现实中有各种纷繁复杂的表现,有的未取得权利证书,有的属于违章建筑物,等等.律师在代理当事人对建筑物申请诉讼保全时,要研究对什么样的建筑物能够申请保全,以确保申请被法院采纳,并避免申请错误给当事人带来损失;同时,又要认真研讨财产保全担保制度的立法缺陷,当遇到当事人无力提供担保或不能提供足额担保时,向法院阐明充足的理由,使当事人得到司法救济,切实维护其合法权益.

Chinese gay men’s coming out narratives: Connecting social relationship to co-cultural theory

Theorizing the intersection of queer identity and culture values, this study examines Chinese gay men’s coming-out experiences through a narrative analysis of 60 self-reported stories online. It finds that Chinese gay men’s decision to come out, their communication orientations, and the outcomes of their coming out are influenced by traditional Chinese cultural values such as family, marriage, and duty. Assertive assimilation, assertive accommodation, and nonassertive accommodation are the most used communication orientations. The study adds to co-cultural theory by demonstrating that types of social relationships affect the communication orientations adopted, at least in the context of China.
