A Filtering Model with Steady-State Housing

This paper presents a filtering model of the housing market which is similar to Sweeney's (1974b), except that the maintenance technology is such that housing can be maintained at a constant quality level as well as downgraded, and population at each income level grows continuously over time. In equilibrium, at each moment of time, some housing is allowed to deteriorate in quality, and other housing is maintained in a steady-state interval of qualities.filtering, housing, maintenance

Document Delivery - The Dawn of a New Era

Only a few years ago the phrase \u27document delivery\u27 was never used in connection with libraries. Instead the term \u27inter-library loan\u27 (ILL) was used. The reason for the change is very simple and is due entirely to photocopying machines. Before these existed it was a very cumbersome, slow and expensive operation to màke copies of individual documents from bound books and journals. Photocopying machines allowed the quick and cheap duplication of documents: these copies could be supplied far more cheaply and efficiently than the loan of an item. A second cause was the development of online bibliographic databases which give access to items quickly and easily at the article level. This has allowed the requesting of articles rather than whole volumes. Indeed, many database hosts now offer document ordering systems as part of their services. So, in the last 25 years a whole industry has grown up in document supply. Up to now the process of document supply has largely followed that of inter-library loan, that is essentially a manual operation using conventional postal means for communication of both requests and documents. As the title of this paper suggests we are now on the verge of a new era in document delivery. Again, the changes are caused by technology. This time it is not one single piece of technology but a combination of several developments. The most important of these has been the introduction of the personal computer; other developments include the use of high-capacity optical storage devices, improved telecommunications and the development of facsimile transmission. The implementation and integration of these technologies does not in itself mean that document delivery systems will develop on their own. There are still many problems to be overcome. This paper, af ter examining the current status of developments, goes on to examine some of the outstanding problems and what their implications may be in the future

Majoring in the Minor: A Closer Look at Experiential Learning

Experiential learning is, for me, a preeminent means to accomplish goals that are fundamental to the entire educational enterprise. It is a set of strategies that structure acquisition of information, analysis of ideas, and selfreflection in order to pull people into active engagement with their world. Among these strategies are skills of observation and interpretation that require learners to take careful note and to examine themselves as processors of the details they themselves assemble into meaningful patterns, thus generating the insight, over and over again, that it is they who create the meaning they come to attach to events and to human interchange. The greater their awareness of what it is they are doing, the likelier it is that the meanings they create will confer on them the edge it takes to move forward with strength and to be part of a world they really want to be part of. In some sense, then, these strategies help students to be actors, not objects of everyone else’s acting on them. Students often say that one or another immersion experience has “transformed” them. We as educators often call this metamorphosis “empowerment.
