1. Assessing Innovation in Corporate and Government Libraries

Author

Zeeman, Deane, Jones, Rebecca, and Dysart, Jane

Abstract

This study reports on the results of interviews conducted in December 2009 and January 2010 to identify innovative service trends in library and information services in the government and corporate arenas. The study was undertaken as part of a Library and Archives Canada (LAC) research project to inform the Government of Canada Assistant Deputy Ministers Task Force (ADM Task Force) on the Future of Federal Library Service in gaining a better understanding of future-oriented service delivery models adopted by corporate and government libraries. The study began with a thorough review of relevant literature as well as conference presentations and proceedings, webinars, listservs, and blogs. This review yielded myriad service delivery models in place in private and public sectors--models that were then used to design the interview. Corporate and government libraries recognized by the library sector as "innovative" based on the libraries' long-term success and demonstrated ability to successfully initiate progressive services were identified. Eighteen of these libraries, in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada; Singapore; Australia; and the U.S., were selected, and all agreed to be interviewed. Nine were categorized as "public sector" (i.e., organizations managing published information in government departments, government agencies, legislatures, or congresses or as national libraries), and the other nine were categorized as "corporate" (i.e., organizations managing published information in for-profit organizations from the professional services, pharmaceutical, legal, and financial sectors). The interview structure matched the "building blocks" for service models defined by the ADM Task Force--E-Library, E-Services, Digitization, Physical Space, Technology, and Procurement--and probed the specific services that the interviewees offer in each "block." This structure was also used to frame the findings. At present (spring 2011) plans are being developed to test the delivery of clustered (based on groups of libraries with overlapping subject interests) and centralized (generic back-end services available to all) services as options that will leverage library professional expertise to benefit the Canadian public service. (Contains 2 figures.)

12. Creek Women and the 'Civilizing' of Creek Society, 1790-1820.

Author

Dysart, Jane E.

Abstract

Women in traditional Creek society, while making few decisions in the public domain, held almost absolute power in the domestic realm. When a Creek couple married, the husband moved into his wife's house and lived among her clan, her matrilineal kin. The house, household goods, fields, and children belonged to her. Boys were educated by their maternal uncles, while girls learned domestic skills from their mothers and female kin. The Creeks' strong conservatism in the 18th and 19th centuries was undoubtedly reinforced by the matrilineal clan and constant interaction among women of different generations. The Indian agent and Jeffersonian reformer, Benjamin Hawkins, considered that women played a crucial role in Creek society and thus had to be targeted as instruments of change. From 1796 until his death in 1816, Hawkins lived among the Creeks and zealously promoted the "civilization program" devised by federal officials to transform the Indians into yeoman farmers and confiscate their hunting grounds. The success of this policy required that the system of matrilineal kinship and communal property give way to one of patrilineal inheritance and private ownership of property. To accomplish these goals, Hawkins and his assistants established a "model" farm, taught Creek women to spin and weave, attempted (unsuccessfully) to create "model" families through marriage with Creek women, and sought to instill the work ethic and attachment to individual property. Although some Creeks and their leaders adopted the white lifestyle, most rejected it and in 1813 went to war to destroy the leaders and instruments of "progress." This paper contains 26 references.
