Abstract:

Library staff are personnel who work in libraries and are responsible for managing, organizing, and providing various information services to library users. This selection process usually involves several stages, ranging from meeting administrative requirements to assessing the technical and interpersonal abilities of prospective staff. Problems that occur in the selection that do not have clear assessment guidelines can lead to highly subjective assessments, where decisions are influenced more by personal opinion than objective criteria.

Abstract The Royal Library of Belgium (kbr) has opened a new permanent museum showcasing the historical core of its collections: the luxurious manuscript library of the dukes of Burgundy. Centred around a late medieval chapel that is part of kbr’s present-day building, the museum introduces visitors to medieval book production, the historical context of the late medieval Low Countries, and the subject matter of the ducal library. The breadth of the dukes’ (and their wives’!) interests is reflected in the manuscripts that have come down to us, ranging from liturgical books over philosophical tr

Abstract Idiopathic hirsutism (IH) is a common clinical condition with multiple diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties. There are no clear recommendations for the diagnosis and management of the condition. This practice update was developed to guide the primary care physicians and the specialists in better and more systematic management of IH particularly in the Indian context. Twelve experienced members consisting of eminent endocrinologists, physicians, a dermatologist, a gynaecologist and a psychiatrist were invited by the Integrated Diabetes and Endocrine Academy (IDEA).

Abstract:

This paper seeks to explain the historical reasons why the former National Library of Peru, between 1821 and 1943, showed a tendency towards elitism. The review of sources on the National Library of Peru indicates that during this period the institution mainly kept material for specialists, bibliophiles, or scholars. It was, therefore, a meeting and work place for a cultural elite. At first glance, this bias contradicts the egalitarian ideals with which it was created by the protective government of General José de San Martín. An in-depth analysis shows several historical reasons that explain

Created in 1967, the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec (BNQ) has seen its initial mission of preserving Québec's documentary heritage considerably enriched in recent years. As a result, like many other national libraries in the world, the BNQ has been asked to become a large public library and to extend its field of action throughout its territory. Accordingly, in April 2005 the BNQ will inaugurate a new building in the heart of Montréal with holdings of four million documents, provide a large range of services on site and via remote access through an Internet portal, and offer its users a rich

Universities multiply. but have a common teaching style. There are exceptions, but most work within a model based on meeting of teacher and students - often with the teacher as lecturer - supported by published books and teachers' notes. It is a model that can be traced back to the time. around 640BC. when students first came to Assurbanipal's royal library at Nineveh. Central to this classical conception is the ideal of creating, evaluating. preserving and disseminating knowledge; and the condition that learners will travel to where teachers and information are - to a place called a universit

A commentary on a recent controversy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, when a speaker considered to be transphobic was allowed to book a meeting room at Vancouver Public Library. The library defended the right of the speaker to her freedom of expression, though certain conditions were placed on the event and the library publicly distanced itself from her views. The library has experienced a fractured relationship with the transgendered and gender non-confirming community since the event which it is attempting to mend.

Abstract:

Common Law systems have always practiced a fairly consistent comparative legal research and scholarship. Initially through the mere exportation of rules and principles from England this was a somewhat centripetal comparative law but it has passed through various modes of radial, circumferential, centrifugal and ultimately polycentric comparisons and cross-fertilizations. Nevertheless, this exercise in comparative law, also in Australia, has remained largely within the boundaries of the Common Law world. It is no longer possible for legal research to be conducted wholly within the boundaries of
