ACL: An Amazing Story

When one stops to contemplate and consider the phenomena of the Association of Christian Librarians as it celebrates the 50th year of its existence, it is nothing short of amazing! In the beginning there was a tiny band of five volunteers with a vision and passion for sharing Christian fellowship, providing access to evangelical journal literature, publishing a professional journal, and facilitating professional development amongst evangelical librarians from institutions of higher education.They had no idea what God would do with their vision, passion and hard work. No one can doubt that God has done far more than they could ever imagine or guess or request in their wildest dreams! (Eph. 3:20,The Message)

Managing A Digitization Project: One Library\u27s Experience

The Jessie C. Eury Library of Lincoln Christian College and Seminary (Lincoln, IL) is proud of the Hymnals of the Stone-Campbell Movement: Enos E. Dowling Hymnal Collection on its website at www.lccs.edu/library/hymnals. This online collection of more than 9,000 hymns from rare 19th century hymnals features works by Alexander Campbell, J.T. Johnson, Walter Scott, and Illinois residents such as Barton W. Stone, Silas W. Leonard, and the Fillmore Brothers. These hymnals were selected from some 2,000 gathered by Mr. Dowling, former academic dean at Lincoln Christian Seminary, throughout his lifetime, including nearly 200 affiliated with the Restoration Movement that arose from the 19th century Stone-Campbell religious heritage on the American frontier. His collection is one of the largest-known compilations of hymnals representing this religious movement and serves to illustrate changing religious musical styles

Moving from Evidence Based Practice to Practice Based in Evidence

This study addresses the issue of the lack of research in the use of client feedback tools, specifically the Outcome Ratings Scale (ORS) and Session Ratings Scale (SRS), from the perspective of the clinician. The study uses a mixed method design with Likert-scale questions as well as open-ended questions which are qualitatively analyzed. The surveys were administered through Qualtrics and an online list serve through the International Center for Clinical Excellence (ICCE). The findings echoed research in regards to their use supporting the growth of therapeutic rapport between clinician and therapist. The implication for social work practice is to use these tools as a way to offer better routine services to clients

Fungicides for Control of Pythium ultimum on Greenhouse-Grown Geraniums

Subdue 2E applied by drench at 18.7 ppm to soil inoculated with Pythium ultimum and in which rooted cuttings of geranium had been planted, was found to be free of the fungus during the test period of 30 days and caused no injury to the plants. Banrot 40W at 240 ppm and Truban 25E at 145 ppm were only slightly fungistatic
