Retrospective Conversion of Periodicals     

Leo Walford 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(1-2):99-103

Changes in journal publishing are often driven by the needs of the science community. Leo Walford, who is the Associate Director for Rights & Business Development for Sage Publications, highlighted differences between social science publishing and science publishing and discussed “why one size doesn't fit all.”  相似文献   

Children's perspectives on building science models     

Ann Sherman  A. Leo MacDonald 《Education 3-13》2013,41(1):89-98

This study describes the experiences of 10- and 11-year-old students with building science models during a unit on weather. With the teacher, we prepared and gathered materials for the students to use in the building of dynamic physical models demonstrating the key features of the weather concepts they were learning. An important aspect of the approach used in the construction of the models was that students were given a significant amount of time to build and explore their models. Students were interviewed following the completion of the unit and their comments suggest that they began to understand the value of the building activities. The enthusiasm for the activities demonstrated by the students also helped increased the meaning the construction held for them. This enthusiasm combined with an increased confidence helped create an environment where students were excited about science and were better able to display their understanding of concepts.  相似文献   

‘He is the Vagabond that Hath No Habitation in the Lord’: The Representation of Quakerism as Vagrancy in Interregnum England,c. 1650–1660     

David Hitchcock 《Cultural and Social History》2018,15(1):21-37

This article examines the printed representation, and prosecutorial characterisation, of the movements, actions and motivations of early Quakers as vagrant. It argues that the prevalence and power of representing (and subsequently treating) early Quakers as vagrants is an understudied aspect of the social and cultural history of the Society of Friends, particularly in Interregnum England. As evidence, it interrogates a furious pamphlet debate between mid-century religious writers and preachers, who devoted much time and ink to painting Quakers as mendacious vagabonds, and Quaker ‘First Publishers’, who responded at length and in a striking way to these accusations. The article concludes that these images of Quakerism as a form of ‘spiritual vagrancy’ created historically significant echoes in English and Atlantic culture.  相似文献   

Hong Kong Library Association Mentoring Program: Experience,Challenges and Opportunities     

Leo F. H. Ma  Maggie Mei Ki Wong 《International Information and Library Review》2020,52(2):170-175

Abstract

The Hong Kong Library Association (HKLA) has been the core organization serving the library and information science (LIS) community in Hong Kong since its establishment 62?years ago. It organizes activities and events continually to enrich professional knowledge of LIS professionals in Hong Kong. It has been observed that the number of student members has risen constantly in recent few years. In view of the pressing demand for better support to student members, the HKLA launched the Mentoring Program in 2013 to enhance informal communication between student members and other members of the Association. The Mentoring Program received an overall positive feedback from the local LIS community and made a positive impact to participants, especially mentees. Apart from the successful experience of this program, there are issues that can be improved in sustaining this program in long term. This paper summarizes the experience of implementing the Mentoring Program in the first two years and identifies the challenges and opportunities ahead. The finding indicates that the Mentoring Program was a well-received professional development program for the student members of the Association. However, this program can be further enhanced in terms of mentor solicitation, mentor-mentee eligibility, mentor-mentee relationship, knowledge-based interaction, and program sustainability. The Program Committee may consider collaborating with other LIS agencies to solicit more potential mentors. In view of the population of the potential mentors, it makes very good sense for the past mentees to serve as peer-to-peer partners for non-degree student members. More incentive should be devised to encourage the mentoring pairs in joining library events in addition to the activities related to the Mentoring Program. To facilitate communication and experience sharing among program participants and HKLA members, it is desirable to set up an online discussion platform to address the increasing demand for more opportunities on this. Lastly, it is vital to improve communication among the Program Committee, HKLA Council members and HKLA members. Besides reviewing the operation and management of the Mentoring Program, the Program Committee should also study the feasibility of sustaining this program in the long run. This paper can be served as an empirical study on the implementation of library and information science mentoring programs in one of the major cities in Asian region. The results of the study can be referenced by the LIS community not only locally but also internationally.  相似文献

Introduction     

Leo Steg 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》1975,300(2):89-96

Energy conversion takes place either in generalized capacitor or generalized resistor networks, that is, C- and R-fields in the sense of Paynterian bondgraphs. Entropy is interpreted as a kind of thermal charge. An electrical example is the difference of conduction and convection associated with mass flow. The generation of entropy in irreversible processes is represented by RS-fields as extension of the simple generalized resistors or R-elements. Thermoelectric power conversion is described by combined RS-fields, and Onsager's symmetry conditions for such fields are derived from the second law of thermodynamics.  相似文献
