Meeting Information Needs through Global Partnerships: A Roadmap to Becoming a Global Health Sciences Library

Abstract

Supporting global health priorities through the development of robust health science librarianship partnerships is of significant importance. Increased demand for synthesizing evidence-based information, collating quality resources, and increasing research productivity to improve human health requires integration of library and information science skills and expertise. The Health Sciences Library (HSL) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), exists to be an indispensable partner in health information and knowledge, teaching and learning, and research. As global efforts at UNC expanded, the HSL sought to ensure that our global engagement strategy and integration were aligned with campus priorities and partner needs. The HSL created a global research partnership plan: identify resources that improve efficiency, increase access to information, build in-country capacity and expertise—all while strengthening collaborations across multiple countries. Creating a meaningful and sustainable engagement strategy was central to envisioning our path forward and can be used as a framework for consideration by librarians in similar settings.     

Recording the war effort: immigrant communities in Latin America and the memory of the Great War

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to analyse the initiatives undertaken by some immigrant communities residing in Latin America to record their mobilisation around the First World War. After the armistice, European communities in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and other countries gathered detailed information about their activities during the conflict, published as profusely illustrated books of remembrance, offered to their governments as proof of their loyalty. The article intends to establish the peculiar nature of these publications as records of the war effort, and analyse the agents and processes of their elaboration, and their role as commemorative but also as archival documents.     

宋夏战争中的乡兵与堡寨

在宋夏战争史上,北宋政府为了对付西夏军队的寇掠,除了在西北沿边地区部署大量正规军外,还积极招募弓箭手、蕃兵等乡兵部队配合禁军戍防和作战。自仁宗朝始,北宋政府在西北地区大量修筑堡寨,以构建防御西夏的军事屏障。在此过程中,乡兵和堡寨的紧密结合,很大程度上增强了北宋防御西夏的能力,并逐步扭转了长期对西夏战争的不利局面。

抗战时期贵州苗族特种初等教育

抗战军兴,国民党的统治重心由东南沿海逐渐向相对落后的,少数民族聚居的西南、西北地区转移,如何发展边远少数民族地区经济？如何处理和少数民族的关系？凝聚各民族的力量支持抗战,成为当时必须面对的一个重要问题.贵州处于西南地区中部,地理位置重要,而苗族在贵州人口中占有很大的比例,因此发展贵州苗族地区社会经济问题,在西南地区建设中占有重要的地位.而教育的作用在战时更为突出,发展苗族特种教育成为解决这一问题的关键.本文就抗战时期贵州苗族特种初等教育快速发展的原因、特点、成效作一探讨,以期对今天的少数民族教育有一点启示.
