A Librarian-Centered Study of Perceptions of Subject Terms and Controlled Vocabulary     

William N. Schultz Jr.  Lindsay Braddy 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2017,55(7-8):456-466

Controlled vocabulary and subject headings in OPAC records have proven to be useful in improving search results. The authors used a survey to gather information about librarian opinions and professional use of controlled vocabulary. Data from a range of backgrounds and expertise were examined, including academic and public libraries, and technical services as well as public services professionals. Responses overall demonstrated positive opinions of the value of controlled vocabulary, including in reference interactions as well as during bibliographic instruction sessions. Results are also examined based upon factors such as age and type of librarian.  相似文献   

Going the Distance: The Road to the 1984 Olympic Women's Marathon     

Jaime Schultz 《国际体育史杂志》2015,32(1):72-88

The 1984 Los Angeles Games hosted, for the first time in Olympic history, a women's marathon race. It took the efforts of several important factions to accomplish the event. First, women runners demonstrated that they were capable of running great distances in increasingly faster times. Second, the popular media publicised those performances, often mitigating athletic commentary with observations about the runners' femininity, attractiveness and relationships with men. Finally, commercial sponsors joined the ranks in this marathon battle to finance important events, running circuits and advocacy groups while simultaneously promoting their own brands of commodity feminism. In the end, it took the coming together of the physical activists, media advocates and corporate champions to accomplish this milestone in sport history.  相似文献

Two Sides of the Same Coin     

John R. Schultz 《Performance Improvement》2014,53(7):24-29

There are distinctions between leadership and management. Each position has its own characteristics and functional activities, but these activities are related and complementary arrangements for coordinating, controlling, and advancing organizational operations. Leaders typically envision and managers implement. However, this does not mean that managers are not capable leaders. In many cases, managers have to be leaders as well as coordinators and controllers of complex transactions.  相似文献   

The Irony of Authenticity     

John R. Schultz 《Performance Improvement》2015,54(7):6-9

Authenticity appears to be the value of the moment. It is now the new standard for leadership. The theme is so pervasive that institutions of every sort have tried to lay claim to its virtues. Businesses are spending lavishly for advice on how to make executives and managers more authentic. However, an entrusting acceptance of what this means can have adverse consequences for a young manager's growth and hinder an accomplished executive's impact.  相似文献   

The organic puppet theatre     

Terry Louis Schultz  Linda M. Sorenson 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1985,12(4):22-30

For most youngsters, the insides of their bodies are squishy, bloody, mysterious, and hard to understand. Definitely not looked upon as something to love, or even sneak a peek at! Sad commentary on awareness of our own health and well-being.Illustrated by Duane G.

Improving Reading Skills in Predominantly Hispanic Title 1 First‐Grade Classrooms: The Promise of Peer‐Assisted Learning Strategies     

Mary Beth Calhoon  Stephanie Al Otaiba  Daphne Greenberg  Amber King  Annalise Avalos 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2006,21(4):261-272

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a supplemental peer‐tutoring reading program on phonological and reading fluency skills of first graders (N= 78) who were in predominantly Hispanic Title 1 classrooms. Sixty‐eight percent of the students were Hispanic, all were English speaking. Six classrooms were randomly assigned to either the peer‐assisted learning strategies (PALS) program or a control condition. PALS students participated in a peer‐mediated early literacy intervention three times a week for 20 weeks for a total of 30 hours. Reading fluency measures taken at fall, winter, and spring showed statistically significant differences favoring PALS on phoneme segmentation and nonsense word fluency. Additionally, results analyzed by ethnic subgroups (Hispanic and non‐Hispanic) revealed a differential pattern of response to PALS intervention. Social validity questionnaires reported that teachers and students viewed PALS in a positive light.  相似文献   

Relations between early reading and writing skills among Spanish-speaking language minority children     

J. Marc Goodrich  Amber L. Farrington  Christopher J. Lonigan 《Reading and writing》2016,29(2):297-319

Although there is a growing body of literature on the development of reading skills of Spanish-speaking language minority children, little research has focused on the development of writing skills in this population. This study evaluated whether children’s Spanish early reading skills (i.e., print knowledge, phonological awareness, oral language) were related to their Spanish and English early writing skills using a sample of 554 children whose home language was Spanish. Multivariate regression analyses with simultaneous outcomes (Spanish and English invented spelling skills) were conducted to evaluate whether children’s early reading and writing skills were related across languages. Results indicated that children’s print knowledge and phonological awareness skills, but not oral language skills, were significantly related to their Spanish and English invented spelling skills. Spanish early literacy skills were not differentially related to Spanish and English reading and writing skills. The magnitude of the relations between print knowledge and oral language skills and children’s invented spelling skills varied as a function of child age; however, the magnitude of the relation between phonological awareness and invented spelling skills did not differ as a function of child age. Furthermore, results suggested that language minority children’s early reading and writing skills are related but distinct constructs and that children may be able to apply information gained from learning to read and write in their first language when learning to write in their second language.  相似文献
