Abstract:

Purpose – Purpose: As collection development in research libraries becomes increasingly homogeneous and “e-preferred”, it is our heritage collections that differentiate us and anchor the physical presence of our institutions. These valuable heritage resources, vital for teaching, researching, and learning are unfortunately too often inaccessible, uncatalogued, and ultimately undiscoverable. This paper focuses on the curation of special collections as a means of exposing hidden collections and discusses practical steps undertaken to highlight unique print materials in the digital age. Design/methodology/approach – This case study describes the transformation of a hidden collection into a teaching collection through the exhibition of uncatalogued Islamic manuscripts, their associated digital component and the resulting faculty–librarian collaboration. Findings – By sharing print collections through exhibitions with an associated digital component, we are both increasing the visibility of, and improving access to the material. Originality/value – This case study outlines a successful approach to exposing hidden collections to support an innovative teaching and learning environment.

Abstract:

AbstractWhy do collections continually surprise? The simple answer for students and researchers is that collections of historic objects contain abundant information not well represented in texts or on the internet. Collections in museums, libraries, campuses and private hands offer a unique source of diversity for research, teaching and broader cultural offerings. In this paper, I look at the wealth of findings resulting from the careful study of objects, collections and provenance. I provide examples from our national science museums in Ottawa, as well as collecting activities throughout Canada. I will also describe recent research in German science collections. The close study of objects has a capacity to reveal multiple narratives and unexpected human dimensions of the past, while also connecting us to complex human relations with what remains in the present. I reflect on how collection keepers and museums can better harness the possibilities stemming from these kinds of approaches.

Abstract:

Many academic libraries are adding comics and cartoon in print form to their collections. Japanese comics, called "manga," are a large part of this collecting. However, in some of these items, there are drawn images of people seemingly under eighteen years of age engaged in highly graphic, uncensored, sex acts. The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether collecting such materials may violate anti-obscenity laws of the United States and expose the collection developer and the library to criminal liabilities. It also suggests that these concerns can lead librarians to self-censorship in their collection development duties.

Abstract:

Vicki L. Gregory is a well-known academic who has written seven other books describing librarianship and electronic and web resources. This review pertains to the second edition of her 2011 landmark textbook, Collection Development and Management for 21st Century Library Collections, which had been in good company with Peggy Johnson’s Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management and Maggie Fieldhouse and Audrey Marshall’s Collection Development in the Digital Age. Providing a thorough introduction on the management and future of library collections, this text offers practical tools and invaluable advice. The content is geared toward students of information science who are new to collection maintenance and collection development. However, this book would also be beneficial for all levels of practitioners. Gregory clearly describes the useful collection development and maintenance processes that all librarians, whether in the collection manager role or not, would find invaluable.

Abstract:

In 1998, a comprehensive study was conducted of the monograph collections of the twenty-eight public community colleges in Florida. This article reports the findings of that study with respect to median age and currency of resources. The rationale for the interpretation of the findings in the Florida Community College Collection Assessment Project is congruent with the philosophy that college collections should emphasize the instructional and curricular needs of students and, therefore, that the collections should emphasize current resources rather than retrospective depth. The findings on median age from the Florida Community College study serve as an example for the discussion of the implications of median age on currency of resources in college library monographic collections, especially in the professional, scientific, and technical fields. The major recommendation is a Continual Update Collection Management Model for college collections.

Abstract:

Abstract We performed a retrospective study to predict the risk factors related to general discomfort, limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs), and intention of a second donation in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donation. The subjects of this study were 1,868 consecutive unrelated volunteer donors who donated HSCs through the Korea Marrow Donor Program between November 2007 and April 2014. Bone marrow (BM) collections were performed without administration of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections were performed after mobilization with G-CSF administered subcutaneously for 4 or 5 consecutive days at a daily dose of around 10 mcg/kg of body weight. General discomfort and limitations in ADLs were assessed by numerical measurement (scores of 0 to 10), and donor's intention of a second donation by yes or no reply. The post-donation questionnaires were completed within 48 hours after HSC collection, and at 1 week, 4 weeks, and 4 months thereafter. Pre-donation and post-donation predictors of general discomfort and limitations in ADLs were identified using univariate and multivariate linear regression considering donor demographic and clinical characteristics (age, sex, collection method, collection period) and the intention of a second donation on day 1. Pre-donation and post-donation predictors of the intention of a second donation were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression considering donor demographic and clinical characteristics (age, sex, collection method, collection period). Men represented 76.77% of donors. The median age at donation was 28 years (range, 19-51), and about 93.00% of donors were younger than 40 years of age. Among HSC collection, 61.88% were completed in a day. PBSC and BM collections accounted for 94.49% and 5.51% of HSC collections, respectively. Predictors of general discomfort included female sex (P< 0.0001), BM collection (P< 0.0001) or PBSC collection through a central line (P= 0.0349), 2-day collection (P= 0.0150), and negative or undetermined intention of a second donation on day 1 (P< 0.0001). Predictors of limitations in ADLs included age group of 30-39 years (P= 0.0046), female sex (P< 0.0001), BM collection (P< 0.0001) or PBSC collection through a central line (P< 0.0001), and negative or undetermined intention of a second donation on day 1 (P< 0.0001). The only predictor of positive intention of a second donation was male sex (P= 0.0007). Age, sex, collection method and period, and intention of a second donation should be considered risk factors when unrelated HSC donation is performed. As a collection method, PBSC collection through a peripheral line is recommended to alleviate physical stress and to improve ADLs. Female donors are more sensitive to HSC collection than male donors, and male sex of the donor is predictive of positive intention of a second donation.

Abstract:

The effect of the age of dogs on quantitative and qualitative parameters of the ejaculate was explored. We evaluated 43 dogs; from each dog we collected three samples on three successive days. The dogs were divided into three age categories: 1.5–2 years; 2–3 years; and 3–5 years. The maximum ejaculate volume was collected from dogs of 2–3 years of age; the average volume of ejaculate from 3 collections was 9.1 ml. Microscopic examinations of the ejaculate of this age category of dogs showed that the highest average sperm concentration was 153.62.103.mm−3. In older dogs the ejaculate volume decreased considerably with increasing frequency of collections (8 ml > 5 ml > 2 ml at the 3rd collection). The amount of motile sperm was the highest in 3 to 5-year-old dogs (76%) and was related with the highest proportion of morphologically normal sperm (66.8%). However in the 3rd collection of this age category we saw a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the amount of pathologically changed sperm (29.5 < 28.8 < 41.2%), mostly in the structure of the flagellum. Significant differences in the quantity and quality of the ejaculate were discovered not only among the age categories of the dogs but also among the individual collections.

Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate whether sperm motility (MOT) in dog semen is influenced by dog age, breed, or number of sperm collections. The study group consisted of four Shih Tzus and five Border Collies, aged 1–8 years. Sperm was collected from each dog once every seven days, for a total of six weeks. Sperm motility did not differ (P > 0.05) based on age and breed. Mean MOT at the first collection (67.4% ± 6.9%) was lower (P < 0.05) than that at the third, fifth, and sixth collections (86.2%; 88.9%; 89.1% ± 6.9%, respectively). Increased MOT was observed after the third collection, demonstrating a positive correlation with the number of sperm collections and sperm motility (P< 0.05). Accordingly, our results indicate that sperm processing efficiency is increased after the collection of three ejaculates.

Abstract:

Abstract Selection of elite young bulls using genomic data has shortened the generation interval and increased pressure to collect large quantities of semen at an early age. Younger bulls pose a challenge in forecasting total sperm production, due to non-linear relationships between management factors and semen production. Our aims were to compare prediction methods for forecasting monthly total sperm (TS), evaluate additive versus fixed-window training sets, and identify management factors that improve TS forecasting. Data were from a commercial AI company and included 8,060 monthly collection records from 1,118 Holstein and Jersey bulls between 10 and 28 mo of age. Potential explanatory variables included: year and season of collection; barn location; number of collections per month; breed; scrotal circumference at 10–11 mo of age; TS in three previous collection months; and age at arrival, first collection, and current collection. Training and testing sets were split by age at collection. In the additive approach, all prior data were used as training, while in fixed-window, records from 3 previous months were used. Five-fold cross validation was used to train models (R v3.5.1). Prediction models included linear regression (LM), random forest (RF), and Bayesian regularization neural network (BRNN), with performance measured by root mean squared error (RMSE) and correlation (r) between actual and predicted TS of testing sets. Models with fixed training sets (RMSE = 19.07, r = 0.847) performed better than additive training sets (RMSE = 19.82, r = 0.833). RF (RMSE = 19.25, r = 0.855) performed slightly better than BRNN (RMSE = 19.25, r = 0.828) and LM (RMSE = 19.87, r = 0.836). The most important management variables affecting TS were: collection frequency, TS in previous collection months, and age at collection. Preliminary results suggest fixed-window training of RF models yield best TS prediction.

Abstract:

Family communication environments can be a facilitator or barrier to family cooperation and communication in collecting family health history (FHH) information, which can facilitate disease prevention. This study examined the direct and indirect effects of family communicative environments on whether individuals actively collected FHH information, as well as how age and sex differences complicate this relationship. Participants ( N = 203) completed online surveys, answering close-ended questions about their family’s communication patterns, how open their family is to communicating about FHH, and whether they have actively collected FHH information. Results show there was a direct effect between open family communicative environments and active collection, and found FHH communication openness was a positive partial mediator. Conversely, family environments stressing hierarchy and homogeneity of beliefs inhibit open communication about and collection of a FHH. Analysis of age and sex as moderators in the models showed a significant conditional indirect effects, which grew stronger as participants’ age increased. Furthermore, results showed open family communicative environments lead to active collection of FHH for women, but not for men. Results confirm the importance of family communicative environments in facilitating or inhibiting FHH collection. Findings from the current study provide intervention points for practitioners to advise patients on the importance of collecting a FHH and guide behaviors to collect FHH information based on the family communicative environment.

The article discusses five such collections in modern-day Poland. Schmidt's 1902 Berlin catalogue gives an overview of what types of object were sent to which institution, but gives no clear indication of the quantities involved. The present article tries to rectify that, and to present the information systematically institution by institution, with later documentation where available.

Abstract:

It is hard to imagine the organization of manuscript collections without the category of correspondence. Few classificatory entities are more ubiquitous, whether used as a records series in itself or as a modifying facet within a series. Most personal papers, including those drawn from literary, political, and commercial contexts, contain collected letters, and so do many organizational records. Collected letters, furthermore, represent the most likely aspect of a collection to lend themselves to publication after the death of the creator. No other literary form belongs so uniquely to libraries, archives, and special collections, whose compilation and safekeeping of scattered letters . . .

Abstract:

The control of swine influenza virus (SIV) infection is paramount for increasing the productivity of pig farming and minimizing the threat of pandemic outbreaks. Thus, SIV surveillance should be conducted by region and on a regular basis. Here, we established a microneutralization assay specific for SIV seroprevalence surveillance by using reporter gene-expressing recombinant influenza viruses. Growth-based SIV seroprevalence revealed that most sows and piglets were positive for neutralizing antibodies against influenza viruses. In contrast, the 90-day-old growing pigs exhibited limited neutralizing activity in their sera, suggesting that this particular age of population is most susceptible to SIV infection and thus is an ideal age group for SIV isolation. From nasal swab specimens of healthy pigs in this age population, we were able to isolate SIVs at a higher incidence (5.3%) than those of previous reports. Nucleotide sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin (HA) genes revealed that the isolated SIVs have circulated and evolved in pigs but not have been recently introduced from humans, implying that a large number of SIV lineages may remain “undiscovered” in the global porcine populations. We propose that the 90-day-old growing pig-targeted nasal swab collection presented in this study facilitates global SIV surveillance and contributes to the detection and control of SIV infection.

Abstract:

There is never an end to stories.“The art of composing oral narratives,” said Nongenile Masithathu Zenani, a Xhosa storyteller,is something that was undertaken by the first people, long ago, during the time of the ancestors. When those of us in my generation awakened to earliest consciousness, we were born into a tradition that was already flourishing. Narratives were being performed by adults in a tradition that had been established long before we were born. And when we were born, those narratives were constructed for us by old people, who argued that the stories had initially been created in olden times, long ago. That time was ancient even to our fathers; it was ancient to our grandmothers, who said that the tales had been created years before by their grandmothers. We learned the narratives in that way, and every generation that has come into being has been born into the tradition. Members of every generation have grown up under the influence of these narratives.In the late 1960s and in the 1970s, I made a number of research trips to southern Africa for the purpose of studying the oral traditions of the Xhosa, Zulu, Swati, and Ndebele peoples. The Xhosa and Zulu live in South Africa, the Swati in Swaziland, and the Ndebele in the southern part of Zimbabwe. During each of those trips many of the performances and discussions were taped. I witnessed thousands of performances.

Abstract:

A method to evaluate a library’s government information collection using OCLC’s WorldCat is described. By searching material type codes for government publications, and limiting the search to an owning library, it is possible to find the number of cataloged government publications in a library’s collection. The system can be used to identify the age of government publications in a library, the number of items on a given subject, and find publications on a topic from a specific time period. This method of analysis is especially useful for analyzing government information collections when publications are cataloged into a library’s main collection. The search technique can be used to generate statistics on government publication collections which can be used to prepare reports on library collections and materials.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives Since the launch of Dublin City University’s Age-Friendly University (AFU) Initiative in 2012, relatively little empirical research has been published on its feasibility or implementation by institutions of higher learning. This article describes how collaborative citizen science—a research method where professional researchers and community members work together across multiple stages of the research process (e.g., data collection, analysis, and/or knowledge mobilization) to investigate an issue—was used to identify barriers and supports to university age-friendliness at the University of Manitoba (UofM) in Canada. Research Design and Methods Ten citizen scientists each completed 1 data collection walk around the UofM campus and used a tablet application to document AFU barriers and supports via photographs and accompanying audio commentaries. The citizen scientists and university researchers then worked together in 2 analysis sessions to identify AFU priority areas and brainstorm recommendations for institutional change. These were then presented to a group of interested university stakeholders. Results The citizen scientists collected 157 photos documenting AFU barriers and supports on campus. Accessibility, signage, and transportation were identified as being the most pressing issues for the university to address to improve overall age-friendliness. Discussion and Implications We suggest that academic institutions looking to complete assessments of their age-friendliness, particularly those exploring physical barriers and supports, could benefit from incorporating older citizen scientists into the process of collecting, analyzing, and mobilizing findings.

Abstract:

Abstract From 1842 until his death in 1872, Sir William Lowther, 2nd Earl of Lonsdale, gathered a remarkable collection of ancient works of art. The collection was displayed in two galleries added to his manor for this purpose in 1866. Of the great assemblage, acquired through the dismemberment of previous British collections, little information has come down to our day. It was composed of more than 100 pieces of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek, and mostly Roman sculpture, whose selection reflected the spirit of the collections of the ‘Golden Age of Dilettantism’ during the Victorian era. The collection, unusually for the time, also included a selection of Romano-British antiquities. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the formation and the dispersal of the collection and to clarify the cultural factors that determined the gathering of this eclectic assemblage of ancient objects.

Abstract:

Abstract Increased genomic information available for young bulls has decreased age at time of semen collection. Factors effecting collection characteristics include collection method (electro ejaculate (EE), or artificial vagina (AV), and the number of ejaculates collected. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of managerial factors on collection characteristics. From 2008 to 2018, 11,642 individual ejaculates were analyzed by a single technician at the Kansas Artificial Breeding Service Unit. Bulls that were not receptive to the AV after 3 or 4 attempts, were subject to EE. Collection characteristics were evaluated using multiple regression models; fixed effects included collection method, sequence of ejaculates collected per day, and were evaluated for their impact on collection characteristics. Progressive motility before freezing was greater (P< 0.0001) for bulls collected with EE compared to AV. Ejaculate volume for EE collections was greater (P< 0.0001) than those collected with AV. Percent spermatozoa with secondary abnormalities was greater (P< 0.05) for bulls collected with EE compared to AV. Concentration of spermatozoa per mL was less (P< 0.0001) for bulls collected with an EE (514 x106) compared to AV (617 x106). Total number of straws frozen per ejaculate were less (P< 0.001) for bulls collected with EE (94) compared to AV (108). The number of ejaculates collected per day was significant for the percent of spermatozoa with secondary abnormalities (P< 0.001). As ejaculate number per day increased, the concentration of spermatozoa decreased (713, 580, 535, and 434 x 106 per ml respectively; P< 0.0001) and the number of straws frozen per ejaculate decreased (123, 107, 93, and 82 respectively; P < 0.0001). In conclusion, AV collections resulted in a higher number of straws frozen. The method of collection could cause a significant impact when collecting young high demand bulls.

Abstract:

Abstract With the advent of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens and the improved supportive care after high-intensity conditioning, elderly patients are increasingly offered allogeneic HCT using peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from older siblings. Little is known, however, about the potential impact of pre-collection medical fitness on the safety of the apheresis procedure and product yield with elderly donors. To address these issues, we reviewed the experiences of 140 sibling PBSC donors with a median age of 64 (range 60–83) who underwent collection between 1993 and 2006. About half of the donors were male. All donors were mobilized using granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, at 16 mg/kg/day, and underwent 12-liter apheresis procedures. Pre-apheresis medical comorbidities were scored by the HCT-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI, Sorror et al. Blood.2005; 106, 2912–2919) and post-apheresis toxicities were graded per the Common Toxicity Criteria of National Cancer Institute. Donors acquired HCT-CI scores of 0 (62%), 1 (20%), 2 (8%), 3 (9%), and ≥4 (1%). Eighty-four percent of donors underwent 2 PBSC collections (roughly half were mandatory) and 18% required 3 collections. A central venous catheter (CVC) was placed in 27 elderly donors (19%), and 28% of those requiring 3 collections had a CVC. There was no difference in the median age of donors requiring a CVC compared to those who did not. Longer apheresis procedure times were required during the 3rd collection (median of 149 minutes) compared to the 1st (136 minutes) and 2nd collections (131 minutes). Among the 15 donors with three procedures, significantly fewer CD3+ cells were collected across time (median of 1.7, 1.2, and 0.7 × 108 cells/kg recipient weight after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd collections, respectively, p<0.001). There was a decreasing trend in both CD3+ and CD34+ cell yields across groups of donors with increasing numbers of collections (p<0.001 for both). Donors with HCT-CI scores of ≥3 had higher, but non-significant, median age (67 years) compared to those with scores of 0, 1, and 2 (64, 62, and 63, respectively). There were no correlations between increasing donor age above 60 years and procedure-related toxicities of grades ≥I (p=0.62) or ≥II (p=0.62). Donors with comorbidity scores of 2 or ≥3 had slightly higher incidence rates of grades ≥I toxicities (55% and 57%) compared to donors with scores of 0 and 1 (40% and 48%; p=0.16). There were no correlations between increasing donor age above 60 years and pre-collection white blood cell counts (p=0.31), apheresis procedure times (p=0.41), CD34+ cell yields (p=0.24), and CD3+ cell yields (p=0.26). We conclude that: 1) apheresis collection of PBSC is a safe procedure for donors with an age of ≥60 years, including those with medical comorbidities; 2) among elderly donors, increasing age did not significantly affect the need for CVC, risk of procedure-related toxicity or product yields; 3) sequential collections yield fewer CD3+ cells among donors of this age category. These latter findings need to be compared to those from multiple collections among donors with younger age. In addition, it will be important to compare the engraftment capacity of the PBSC products from elderly versus younger donors.

Abstract:

The paper presents results of a pilot study on collecting as a psychological phenomenon. Collecting as a form of activity is analysed from the perspective of its motives, its final result and ways of working with collection objects. The aim of the pilot study was to reveal the content of collecting in children. A special questionnaire based on the object analysis of collecting activity was designed to explore the ways in which the main components of this activity reveal themselves. The data collected in three age groups (early school-age, early adolescence, late adolescence, 119 subjects altogether) showed that, on the one hand, collecting is a polymotivated activity which reflects the collector's system of interests, and, on the other hand, in the process of working with collection objects the collector puts into practice the different methods of organising his/her activity. The main components of collecting are interrelated.

Between 1980 and 2005, as the world embraced free market policies, living standards rose sharply, while life expectancy, educational attainment, and democracy improved and absolute poverty declined. Is this a coincidence? A collection of essays edited by Balcerowicz and Fischer argues that indeed reliance on free market forces is key to economic growth. A book by Stiglitz and others disagrees. I review and compare the two arguments.

Abstract:

Background: Nasal septum collections (hematoma and abscess) can lead to structural and functional abnormalities. Our objective was to assess the clinical characteristics, management and complications of nasal septal collections, and document factors associated withtheir complications. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients managed for nasal septal collections. Socio-demographic and clinical information was recorded, and the main investigations and results noted. Follow-up and complications of septal collections were documented and the clinical factors associated with the complications explored. Results: Twenty-four patients records were studied: male: female ratio=2:1, mean age 40.1±13.1years,62.5% presented with complaints of nasal obstruction, 66.7% had antecedent nasal trauma, presentation was from 2 to 13 days,25%had co-morbid disease(s). All patients had incision and drainage of the septal collection within 1–7 h; 41.2% of the aspirated collections cultured microorganisms, 20.8% developed complications. Increased age above 45 years, co-morbidity, delayed presentation, culture-positive aspirate was all significantly associated with development of complications. Conclusion: Nasal septal collections were more common in adult males with antecedent nasal trauma; 20% developedcomplications associated with the presence of culturepositive abscesses, increased age, and duration of septal collection. Keywords: Nasal trauma, Septal hematoma, Septal abscess, Complications
