Law libraries occupy a unique and, in many respects, an ambiguous status in the United States. This status tends to set them apart in a variety of significant ways from the ubiquitous prototypes of general libraries and, with the possible exception of medical libraries, even from the different categories of specialized libraries in other academic or professional areas. The distinctiveness of law libraries in the United States, which is shared to a greater or lesser extent by many law libraries elsewhere in the world, and especially in countries possessing legal systems based on common law, cannot fully be appreciated by anyone who does not have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the nature and content of law as well as a working familiarity with the idiosyncratic uses of library materials by the legal profession in the exercise of judicial and legislative processes. Unfortunately, the incontro-vertible value of this self-evident requirement if frequently overlooked.

Tracer Study is a study conducted by tertiary institutions to search for alumni whose purpose is to find out the reciprocal of alumni education in the world of work. National universities themselves already have a tracer study website but still have difficulty in carrying out tracer studies, especially to contact alumni. The method used in this study uses a structured waterfall method. In this case, the initial stage for this method is to make observations that aim to find and find out the problems faced by users and to collect data by searching literature studies related to website-based tracer studies to testing website testing systems using blackboxes, namely testing the function requirements of each menu in a program. This research resulted in the application of a website-based tracer study system that facilitates alumni to carry out the tracer study process which can be done anytime and anywhere. The results of the tracer study itself will serve as a benchmark for the university in developing the ability of future students to compete in the workforce.

Internet and communication technologies enable the creation of tremendous amounts of textual, graphic, and pictorial information. User-generated content published through personal web pages, blogs, and social media platforms has not only increased the amount of information available, but also expanded its reach. However, this ubiquity of information and empowerment of its creators leads to potentially controversial, futile, and inaccurate content circulating throughout the world. In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, this can create false hope, fear, anxiety, harm, and confusion amongst information stakeholders. The World Health Organization recently applied the term “infodemic” to the COVID-19 pandemic. This commentary briefly discusses the current infodemic, its potential consequences, and the role of libraries—specifically health sciences, biomedical, and medical libraries—to help counter the COVID-19 infodemic. The discussion also has relevance for infodemics relating to other health and non-health affairs.

Bibliometrics is becoming increasingly prominent in the world of medical libraries. The number of presentations related to research impact at the Medical Library Association (MLA) annual meeting has been increasing in past years. Medical centers have been using institutional dashboards to track clinical performance for over a decade, and more recently, these institutional dashboards have included measures of academic performance. This commentary reviews current practices and considers the role for a newer metric, the relative citation ratio.

En este texto se analiza lo que ha pasado –y lo que no ha pasado– en los últimos diez años en la educación superior mexicana, particularmente en las universidades públicas (recurriendo al caso ilustrativo de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla). Para ello, se propone una forma distinta para analizar el cambio organizacional, enfocando los cambios en la perspectiva del entorno cambiante y la respuesta de la organización frente a este ambiente. Ese enfoque analítico brinda pautas no sólo para describir los cambios, sino para poder hacer comparaciones con otras instituciones y países, o para poder juzgar la calidad o la dirección del cambio, así como para poder saber si un cambio fue una innovación o un paso hacia atrás. Así, se vislumbra que frente a los cambios en el mundo, y dentro de México, las universidades públicas nacionales han sido muy reacias al cambio; y cuando éste se ha dado, ha sido de una forma extemporánea, incongruente con los cambios en otras regiones.AbstractThis text analyzes what has and what has not happened in Mexican higher education during the last 10 years, particularly what has happened in the public universities (the illustrative case of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla). For that purpose, we propose a different way of analyzing organizational change, by focusing on the changes in the perspective of a changing environment and the response of the organization to said environment. That analytical focus offers guidelines not only to describe the changes but also to be able to make comparisons with other institutions and countries, or to be able to judge the quality or the direction of the change, as well as to be able to know whether a change was an innovation or a step backward. Thus, we see vaguely that in the face of the changes in the world, and in Mexico , the public national universities have been reluctant to change; and when change has occurred, it has done so inopportunely and incongruently with the changes in other regions.

Pragmatist Philosophy

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
