Inspiring vanguards: the Woods Hole experience

Twice a year, the National Library of Medicine and Marine Biological Laboratory co-sponsor a fellowship in Biomedical Informatics for librarians, clinicians, and other health professionals in Woods Hole, MA. The fellowship is designed to inspire participants to become "agents of change" at their institution and to broaden their scope of knowledge for biomedical informatics. This paper discusses the field of biomedical informatics and explores the results of an informal survey from the librarians who participated in the fall session of 2005.

DC词表的维护:实践、策略与模型

DCMI维护着一个包含众多元数据术语的词表，其中最主要的是包括15个元素的都柏林核心。然而，DCMI所关注和讨论的并不只是这个核心集，以及围绕这个核心集的实践、策略和模型，DC元数据模型已经由最初的单一模型进化成一个完整的框架，可以通过这个框架对应用DC元数据的各种实践进行评估。这些术语及其以前的版本现在都由统一资源标识符(URI)来标识，并建立了网页和形式化的schema文档，在注册系统中被编成索引，在具体的应用纲要(application profiles)中被引用。DCMI正在寻求一种简单易行的维护机制，一方面推荐使用不断变化和增长的核心标准，另一方面承认和重用其它的词表作为必要的补充，这两者之间需要建立一种平衡。     

Ecological Study of Graduation Rates and GPA in a Library Credit Course

The purpose of this ecological study was to examine the impact of a library credit course on graduation rates and GPA using pre-existing records. Over 20?years of aggregate institutional data were analyzed to evaluate the course's impact on first-time-full-time, white, and black students. Results were mixed: students who took the course were less likely to graduate than their peers who did not take the course but enjoyed slightly higher GPAs at graduation. It was discovered that students taking the course are not representative of the overall student body and struggle academically. Implications for revisions to the library credit course are discussed.     

Qatar's Hidden Women: Symbolic Annihilation and Documentary Media Practice

This article explores how documentary film practice and visual storytelling can be used to help portray Qatari women's narratives, even though many are prohibited by cultural norms from appearing in visual media. We investigate which communication and media practices can provide a work-around, ensuring that women's stories and testimonies are documented. We also explore whether Qatar's social and cultural restrictions result in a form of “symbolic annihilation” for Qatari women, as articulated by Gaye Tuchman, and how this impacts Qatari women's position and visibility in local society.
