This paper, for river engineers and their environmental counterparts, presents and explains the origin and potential of four-dimensional charts that smooth most of the world's numerical data obtained from the equilibrium dimensions of sand rivers, gravel rivers, and laboratory flumes. These charts aim to provide a practical service comparable with that provided by factual plots on the comprehensive classic three-dimensional Stanton friction-factor diagram for circular pipes and clean Newtonian fluid. In the river problems, especially, the existence of different phases (whose transitions are not susceptible to formulation), the inadequacies of textbook theories even for simple phases, and the unavoidable imperfections of both field and laboratory measurements combine to prevent responsible design. The remedy is a graphing of total information backed by references from which its reliability and practicability can be assessed.The references have been chosen to contain principal information in the forms of: (i) usable photos, graphs, and tables; (ii) explanations free from specialized mathematics and speculative arguments; and (iii) papers with discussions, authors' replies, and further useful references (since a major reference list would be too long for this paper). Because condensation has had to be extreme the authors will be glad to attempt answers to discussions and questions on the subject matter, its practical applications, and its implications in teaching and research.

This article outlines research carried out with students and academic staff at a large UK university library on how e-books are being used for learning, teaching and research. It was discovered that e-books are meeting many of users' needs, especially in terms of accessibility, but there are still concerns about subject coverage and the impact on students' learning. There are various reasons why e-books are beneficial in developing an academic library collection, most particularly for reference materials and essential readings, but librarians need to work closely with academic staff to integrate use of e-books effectively into learning and teaching, taking care that licence and access implications are better understood. The drivers to the use of e-books appear to be outweighing the barriers, although the latter will require considerable effort on the part of librarians within their institutions and also in terms of communicating concerns to e-book providers.

Purpose In the present era, research data is a concern for researchers, as they are trying to find new ways to communicate their research findings and conclusions to other researchers in order to increase visibility and credibility. BRICS nations are fast emerging economies and contribute significantly in research output. This study makes an effort to analyze and explore the role of BRICS nations towards open access research data repository registered with Registry of Research Data Repositories. Design/methodology/approach The data were gathered from re3data repository, and the search was limited to BRICS nations. The data were further analyzed and tabulated as per set parameters, namely, country-wise distribution, types of contents, subject coverage and language diversity. Findings The findings depict that in terms of strength, India has the highest number of data repositories, thereby achieved the first rank among BRICS nations, and South Africa has the least number of data repositories, whereas in terms of content type and subject coverage, India again is leading among BRICS nations. The English language is used by repositories as the main language of the interface. Practical implications The study helps to understand the development of research data repositories by BRICS nations. The study is further beneficial to researchers, as Registry of Research Data Repository provides a single platform to access repositories from various disciplines. Readily available data saves time, money and efforts of researchers and helps the researcher in completing their research activity in a very short span of time. Originality/value The paper has investigated open access data repositories of BRICS nation that has not been attempted earlier. This gives readers comprehensive overview of research data repositories developed in fast emerging economies of the global. The paper can be very helpful for information managers, OA promoters and education and research policy makers to devise plans and policy bearing in mind the evolving research channels in emerging economies.

This paper presents methods to develop metrics that compare Big Deal journal packages and the journals within those packages. Deal-level metrics guide selection of a Big Deal for termination. Journal-level metrics guide selection of individual subscriptions from journals previously provided by a terminated deal. The paper argues that, while the proposed metrics provide helpful quantitative data for comparative analysis, selection of individual subscriptions must also involve informed judgment about a library’s subject coverage needs and alternative sources of access. The paper also discusses how replacing a Big Deal with a reduced number of individual subscriptions may affect the collections budget, use of other resources, and interlibrary loan.

Specialized Mathematics

Those of us who are desirous of having Mathematics make its maximum contribution to the training of every boy and girl for intelligent and happy living will acclaim the recommendation of the Commission on Postwar Plans of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in its first report’* that mathematics curricula from now on be organized in three distinct series or tracks or sequences. The first track, which the Commission has labelled sequential mathematics, is intended for those planning to pursue further the study of mathematics and the pure and applied sciences based on it. The name sequential mathematics may not be the best way to describe this first track. For are not the other two tracks to be sequential too? Perhaps specialized mathematics might describe this sequence better since it is intended for pupils who plan to specialize in mathematics. The other two tracks have been labelled by the Commission related mathematics for those planning to go into industry and social mathematics for the large number of pupils in neither of the already mentioned two categories; that is, pupils interested in neither industry nor college; or if planning to go to college, not intending to pursue studies requiring the expert, specialized knowledge of our subject needed by the pupils in the first category. These are the pupils who suffered most from our mathematical diet in prewar times. For we either let them starve entirely or we gave them acute mental indigestion by feeding them the wrong mathematical diet.

Subject Coverage

The Library is a research library for the Gallery’s staff and subject coverage is related to the two collections, Historic British and Modem. Some indication of the categories of material in the Library is given. Stock selection is on a co-operative basis with the staff readership and an exchange scheme with other museums is operated. The Library provides a direct service to Gallery staff but restricts outside use owing to limitations of accommodation and staffing. New premises on the Millbank Hospital Site are needed before any national role could be undertaken. (Based on a paper submitted to the National Co-ordination of Art Library Resources Committee).

Objectives:This study defined core and essential lists of recent, English-language veterinary medicine books using a data-driven methodology for potential use by a broad audience, including libraries that are building collections supporting veterinary sciences and One Health initiatives.Methods: Book titles were collected from monograph citation databases, veterinary examination reading lists, veterinary college textbook and library reserve lists, and published bibliographies. These lists were combined into a single list with titles ranked by the number of occurrences.Results: The methodology produced a core list of 122 monographs and an essential list of 33 titles. All titles are recent, edition neutral, English language monographs. One title is out of print.Conclusions: The methodology captured qualitative and quantitative input from four distinct populations who use veterinary monographs: veterinary practitioners, educators, researchers, and librarians. Data were collected and compiled to determine core and essential lists that represented all groups. Unfortunately, data are not available for all subareas of veterinary medicine, resulting in uneven subject coverage. This methodology can be replicated and adapted for other subject areas.

Netnographic analysis of international pedagogical periodical journals which are indexed in Scopus scientometric database has been realized in the article. The authors gave appraisal of pedagogical investigations’ priority directions which are published in the most quoted world’s journals. Subject coverage of the Top-300 pedagogical periodical journals from the rank-list presented by Scimago Journal & Country Rank Internet-platform has been also analyzed. Comparison between pedagogical journals’ quotation-indexes and corresponding indexes of technical, natural-scientific, legislative and political subject issues has been also completed. The authors succeeded in refuting the widely-spread but mistaken opinion that pedagogical issues are insufficiently presented or even absent in Scopus database. It has also been found out that the majority of pedagogical periodical journals which are indexed in Scopus deal with problems of general education and upbringing; pedagogical psychology and sociology; organizing of pedagogical investigations and pedagogical statistics.
