Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century: Re-Engineering the Information Landscape

Visionary thinkers reflect on key aspects of the contemporary information landscape in Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century. In this thought-provoking volume, contributing authors provide multiple lenses from different industry viewpoints to help readers understand current opportunities and challenges facing information providers and their organizations. These authors provide analysis, propose inventions, cite barriers, and target opportunities, stimulating readers to devise solutions appropriate to their personal situations. The book considers the changing face of resource sharing within the context of a rapidly exploding information landscape, and it investigates critical dimensions of network developments as they relate to access and delivery of data and "documents" in multiple media. It helps readers understand the escalating changes which are irrevocably altering their professional environment and information access choices.\ud \ud Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century is divided into three sections. Contextual Viewpoints sets the stage for considering the subject. Converging Technologies discusses converging computing and telecommunications technologies which promise to transform information systems as they are known today. Musts, Can'ts, and Myths investigates implications of today's emerging trends for information professionals’ futures. Topics addressed in individual chapters include:an examination of the library environment and the work of librarians in the emerging digital worldmodels of strategic issue analysis and their applicability to past, present, and future issues related to library networkingthe effect of multimedia technology on sharing of resources, and issues and barriers associated with multimediasci-tech information resources and information networks in Western Europethe future of bibliographic utilitiesthe future of digital collections.\ud \ud Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century provides a much-needed context to aid readers as they shape the resource sharing environment of tomorrow. It is a stimulating guide for practicing librarians, MLS students, and network staff as they strive to make libraries and information centers a vital part of the future

Project Introduction

The Panel will open with an introductory presentation. During this session Dr. Ezzell will discuss the project approach, the project methodology, and project goals. He will also discuss project challenges, including issues identified in the project literature review. These include problems associated with tourism evaluation methods, cultural and physical barriers, and the changing role of urban fringe areas

The Long War and Parental Combat Deployment: Effects on Military Children and At-Home Spouses

Objective: Given the growing number of military service members with families and the multiple combat deployments characterizing current war time duties, the impact of deployments on military children requires clarification. Behavioral and emotional adjustment problems were examined in children (aged 6 through 12) of an active duty Army or Marine Corps parent currently deployed (CD) or recently returned (RR) from Afghanistan or Iraq. Method: Children (N 272) and their at-home civilian (AHC) (N 163) and/or recently returned active duty (AD) parent (N 65) were interviewed. Child adjustment outcomes were examined in relation to parental psychological distress and months of combat deployment (of the AD) using mixed effects linear models. Results: Parental distress (AHC and AD) and cumulative length of parental combat–related deployments during the child’s lifetime independently predicted increased child depression and externalizing symptoms. Although behavioral adjustment and depression levels were comparable to community norms, anxiety was significantly elevated in children in both deployment groups. In contrast, AHC parental distress was greater in those with a CD (vs. RR) spouse. Conclusions: Findings indicate that parental combat deployment has a cumulative effect on children that remains even after the deployed parent returns home, and that is predicted by psychological distress of both the AD and AHC parent. Such data may be informative for screening, prevention, and intervention strategies

Molecular shocks and the gamma-ray clouds of the W28 supernova remnant

Interstellar medium clouds in the W28 region are emitting gamma-rays and it is likely that the W28 supernova remnant is responsible, making W28 a prime candidate for the study of cosmic-ray acceleration and diffusion. Understanding the influence of both supernova remnant shocks and cosmic rays on local molecular clouds can help to identify multi-wavelength signatures of probable cosmic-ray sources. To this goal, transitions of OH, SiO, NH3, HCO+ and CS have complemented CO in allowing a characterization of the chemically rich environment surrounding W28. This remnant has been an ideal test-bed for techniques that will complement arcminute-scale studies of cosmic-ray source candidates with future GeV-PeV gamma-ray observations.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, submitted to the American Institute of Physics Conference Serie
