Understanding University Library Users' Mistreatment of Books
2009
This paper analyses university library users' attitudes towards book vandalism in order to develop a basis for intervention. Using a customer oriented approach data was collected from users who attended an academic library exhibition on vandalized books at a University campus. Respondants were asked both for their reactions to the vandalism as well as to suggest measures to solve this problem. Punishment and surveillance were most frequently mentioned as preventative measures although users also recognized the utility of the exhibition in increasing awareness of book mutilation. Further implications of social marketing for libraries are also discussed.
Compared regimes of NDVI and Rainfall in semi-arid regions of Africa
2006
International audience; Bi-monthly normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) at an 8km spatial resolution from the advanced very high resolution radiometers (AVHRR) was used from 1981 to 1995 to analyse the vegetation response to rainfall supply in semi-arid regions of Africa. Within the 200-600 mm annual rainfall belt, for which the apparent NDVI response to rainfall was the strongest, three regions were selected which exhibited different patterns in their NDVI regimes and/or relationships with rainfall. The regions, located in western, southern and eastern Africa, were split into coherent sub-regions in terms of mean regime of photosynthetic activity through a cluster analysis. Overal…
Museum behind the scenes–an inquiry-based learning unit with biological collections in the classroom
2016
AbstractThe aim of this study was to design and evaluate an inquiry- and activity-based learning unit for the classroom that uses biological collections to teach key evolutionary concepts and to support the understanding and appreciation of the work of a museum. The unit consisted of three parts that focused on the most important tasks of museums: collecting and conserving, researching and exhibiting. The students created their own collection, performed research surrounding it and then designed an exhibition. Seventy-six secondary sixth- and seventh-grade students participated in the testing of the prototype unit. For evaluation, we carried out a pre-/post-test design using a questionnaire …
The Illegible Doctor’s Writing as a Visual Artifact and Creative Stimulation for Art Education
2014
El presente artículo analiza las posibilidades educativas de la particular escritura de los médicos, estudiando la componente gráfica de sus documentos, tanto históricos como recientes. Defendemos la escritura manual como un elemento gráfico importante para la educación artística, a partir de las premisas de la cultura visual. Nos basamos en los resultados positivos de la exposición “Caligrafías de la enfermedad. Letra de médico”, una muestra en la que los visitantes son protagonistas, intérpretes y constructores de significados. Utilizamos la metodología de los estudios de caso, incorporando la observación directa de varios grupos de visitantes. También aportamos otros datos de la experien…
Abitare nel reale. Dalla crisi della periferia alla tessitura di nuove relazioni contestuali
2019
I progetti redatti per “Palermo Sud-Est” sono il risultato di un Laboratorio di Laurea strutturatosi attraverso incontri, seminari, comunicazioni specialistiche, esposizioni critiche, che – in una strategia condivisa – ha visto ogni studente elaborare il proprio lavoro nel confronto con gli altri attori del Laboratorio stesso. La ricerca sui “progetti urbani” è stata impostata di modo che ogni laureando fosse messo a conoscenza dei progetti svolti nello stesso ambito territoriale dai colleghi che l’avevano preceduto, così da poter operare in continuità e contribuire a formulare un ragionamento unitario, nel quale ogni progetto costituisse continuazione, verifica o anche variante dei precede…

Cinema, popular entertainment, literature and television
2012
In an excellent methodological essay, Rick Altman (1996) has argued that the notion that cinema has a stable identity across time is, at best, an illusion. Specifically, its identity has become diffuse at moments when it has entered into circuits of transformative exchange and competition with other forms of leisure activity. Altman focused on the age of the nickelodeon (exhibition at fairgrounds or amusement parks, early cinema theaters) and on the sound revolution (producing forms such as “radio with images” and filmed theater), proposing a “crisis model” of historiography in which what we call cinema includes heterogeneous, unstable scenarios that have emerged at crisis points in its his…

2023
El préstamo de libros y documentos entre entidades o instituciones es cada vez más frecuente. Al mismo tiempo que una oportunidad para la difusión de los fondos documentales, supone la necesidad de gestión de estos préstamos y el establecimiento de los controles necesarios para que se lleven a cabo con garantías para la conservación de las obras. La figura del correo tiene un papel fundamental en esta tarea. En la Biblioteca Histórica de la Universidad Complutense se realiza esta labor siguiendo un procedimiento que permite ser adaptado a las diferentes necesidades de los préstamos y la tipología documental.
