LIBRARY: LIBRARIANS:
A Hipper Crowd of Shushers
A Hipper Crowd of Shushers

Librarians? Arent they supposed to be bespectacled women with a love of
classic books and a perpetual annoyance with talkative patrons the
ultimate humorless shushers?
Not any more. With so much of the job involving technology and with a
focus now on finding and sharing information beyond just what is available
in books, a new type of librarian is emerging the kind that, according to
the Web site Librarian Avengers, is looking to put the hep cat in
cataloguing.
When the cult film Party Girl appeared in 1995, with Parker Posey as a
night life impresario who finds happiness in the stacks, the idea that a
librarian could be cool was a joke.
Now, there is a public librarian who writes dispatches for McSweeneys
Internet Tendency, a favored magazine of the young literati. Unshelved, a
comic about librarians yes, there is a comic about librarians features a
hipster librarian character. And, in real life, there are an increasing
number of librarians who are notable not just for their pink-streaked hair
but also for their passion for pop culture, activism and technology.
Were not the typical librarians anymore, said Rick Block, an adjunct
professor at the Long Island University Palmer School and at the Pratt
Institute School of Information and Library Science, both graduate schools
for librarians, in New York City.
When I was in library school in the early 80s, the students werent as
interesting, Mr. Block said.
Since then, however, library organizations have been trying to recruit a
more diverse group of students and to mentor younger members of the
profession.

UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: CONSTITUTION :
HISTORY: UNITED STATES: POLITICAL:
The Founders Never Imagined a Bush Administration
The Founders Never Imagined a Bush Administration
By Joyce Appleby and Gary Hart
History News Network (HNN)
<http://hnn.us/articles/23297.html>
George W. Bush and his most trusted advisers, Richard B. Cheney and Donald
H. Rumsfeld, entered office determined to restore the authority of the
presidency. Five years and many decisions later, they've pushed the
expansion of presidential power so far that we now confront a
constitutional crisis.
Relying on legal opinions from Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and
Professor John Yoo, then working at the Justice Department, Bush has
insisted that there can be no limits to the power of the
commander-in-chief in time of war. More recently the president has claimed
that laws relating to domestic spying and the torture of detainees do not
apply to him. His interpretation has produced a devilish conundrum.
President Bush has given Commander-in-Chief Bush unlimited wartime
authority. But the "war on terror" is more a metaphor than a fact.
Terrorism is a method, not an ideology; terrorists are criminals, not
warriors. No peace treaty can possibly bring an end to the fight against
far-flung terrorists. The emergency powers of the president during this
"war" can now extend indefinitely, at the pleasure of the president and at
great threat to the liberties and rights guaranteed us under the
Constitution.
When President Nixon covertly subverted checks and balances 30 years ago
during the Vietnam War, Congress passed laws making clear that presidents
were not to engage in unconstitutional behavior in the interest of
"national security." Then Congress was reacting to violation of Fourth
Amendment protections against searches and seizures without judicial
warrants establishing "probable cause," attempts to assassinate foreign
leaders and surveillance of American citizens.
Now the Iraq war is being used to justify similar abuses.

3. DATABASES: FULLTEXT: Elsevier Science Direct Indexed by Google and G
Posted by: "David P. Dillard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] jwneastro

DATABASES: FULLTEXT:
Elsevier Science Direct Indexed by Google and Google Scholar
I posted yesterday about this development.
DATABASES: SCIENCE ENGINEERING COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY :
INTERNET: SEARCH: RESOURCES :
INTERNET: SEARCH TOOLS AND SERVICES: GOOGLE:
Science Direct-ly into Google
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Net-Gold/message/18995>
Then curiousity set in.
So I went to Google Scholar and searched on the first thing that came to
mind in this context, Elsevier.
Of course with that search, many entries will be for book citations as
Elsevier is among other things a book publisher.
Here is a sample of the search results.
Spot tests in organic analysis - all 2 versions

Consider the last title.
This is the citation that results from Elsevier's Journal The Cell and
from Science Direct, a database that I believe libraries pay five to seven
digits a year in price depending on size of institution and content
subscribed to.
You have requested access to the following article:
The Hallmarks of Cancer.
Cell, Volume 100, Issue 1, Pages 57-70
D. Hanahan, R. Weinberg
To view this article, please choose one of your preferred Elsevier
websites:
The real surprise to innocent me is that the full text of the article was
reached from two links below the citation, one being The Cell journal and
the other being from within the database Science Direct.
Science Direct
<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi
=B6WSN-4195FC1-5&_user=10&_coverDate=01%2F07%2F2000&
amp;_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=
c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&
_userid=10&md5=632bed83f17987bc237bc6a6253faeb7>
A shorter URL for the above link:
<http://tinyurl.com/2rzow3>
The other being The Cell
<http://tinyurl.com/2rzow3>
These may be the same link in reality, but they are listed seperately.
This will open up a tremendous body of literature to the public, depending
upon how extensive the content from Elsevier from Science Direct
constitutes that is available as full text journal articles. This is
certainly an important development if the content is substantial that
involves such full text access. There may also be other reasons for
specific Elsevier journals to be full text as well as searchable via
Google Scholar and Google such as the expenditure of government funding on
the research an article reports, this must also be kept in mind.
