Objective: To analyse the academic and professional career of the first woman to join the Corps of Archivists, Librarians and Archaeologists: Ángela García Rives. Methodology: Documentary research based on a systematic and sequential process of collection, selection, organization and analysis of primary and secondary sources on the person under study, drawing on the material available at the Spanish Archive Portal (PARES) and, by extension, from her personal files at the General Archive of the Administration (AGA). Results: There are numerous records of the achievements of male figures in all professional fields. Efforts are currently being made to put the spotlight on the stories of female lives that have been neglected or disparaged. These biographies are often limited to specific cases that are systematically repeated, thus creating the idea that they are exceptions to the general rule; and in certain areas of knowledge their presence is particularly scarce. Although Ángela García Rives is a historical figure, well known in the area of Library Science and Documentation as the first woman to join the Corps of Archivists, Librarians and Archaeologists, the results of our research show that many details regarding her life remain unknown. The main contribution of this study is the compilation and analysis of documentary evidence on her academic and professional career.

This paper explores the discourse presented about a distinctive chapter in Canadian librarianship when it emerged as a modern professional career between 1920 and 1960. During the four decades following the World War I (WWI), librarians sought to develop an intermediary role between different clienteles and the world of print. At the same time, library science evolved as a university-based discipline grounded in the knowledge and techniques of collecting, organizing, and managing printed records for public consumption. Three prominent issues are examined: the question of acceptable library education and training, the primacy of a service ethic, and issues surrounding the profession’s female-intensity during first-wave feminism. Before the 1960s, a two-term bachelor’s degree in library science was the standard requirement to gain entry into the profession. There was an identifiable blend of public-spirited service and print oriented stewardship to librarianship serving diverse clienteles in municipalities, universities and colleges, schools, businesses, and governments. As well, librarianship was a female-intensive career that strove to attain better public recognition. While there were many influences on the development of librarianship, the regional considerations, the everpresent English-French cultural divide, and the American precedents were very important. All these interconnected elements changed after 1960 as the core knowledge of librarians began to transition to library and information science, as they adopted new values, as the importance of print resources lessened, and as second-wave feminism came into being.

Information explosion is a modern phenomenon. This explosion can beseen in all areas of knowledge. In an attempt to keep track of this growth,secondary sources of information have also mushroomed. Each subject fieldhas its own secondary sources of information. For instance, art has Art Index,education has Education Index, library science has Library Literature.Despite these developments in indexing, and despite the progress in interdisciplinarystudies, internationally in general and American in particular,literature on Islam and Muslims rarely gets the place it deserves. Sources ofseeondaq information should be scanned to determine how far they cover informationon Islam and Muslims. This would help us to understand the importancegiven to Islam and Muslims by American writers.A scholar looking for sources of infannation on Islam in the United Statesis bound to be disappointed. It is surprising that no exhaustive attempt has asyet been made to gather information on Islam in one place. This despite thefact that Islam has emerged as one of the important religions followed by asubstantial number of Americans. In addition, the emergence of the Arab andGulf nations as important centres of economic power in the world has ledmany Americans to take an interest in Islam and Muslims. As against theneglect by the Americans, the Eumpeans have come out with an index ofIslamic literature in European languages entitled Index Islamicus. This comprehensivework finds no parallel anywhere in the world.As no attempt has been made yet to bring together all the informationabout Islam available in the United States, it is necessary to look deep intoevery book, journal, newspaper, film, and tape, etc. It is both surprising andshocking to note a sordid treatment meted out to literature on Islamic Studies.The population of Muslims in the United States is not so negligible as to warrantsuch a stepmotherly treatment at the hands of those who are at the helm of ...

The main objective of this paper is to explore the changes in library education in the context of the emergence of both ‘information science’ and ‘knowledge management’. This paper is based on the review of scientific literature published in books, journals, websites, and other secondary sources and on the author’s own viewpoints. The review discusses library science’s encounter with information science, and shows the changes in the paradigm of library science from library-orientation to information focus. In the context of renaming the discipline of library science as library and information science (LIS), this paper explores the curricular trends and the changes in the professional practice of librarianship. The discipline of LIS is now encountering with the emergence of knowledge management (KM), and is moving towards knowledge paradigm. The review also identifies some factors that influenced the change in library education and practice. The paper concludes with the prediction of a new discipline of “knowledge science” suggesting the renaming of library and information science as “library and knowledge science”.

It is a tempting exercise, both historically and psychoanalytically, to contribute to a psychoanalytic understanding of Robert Boyle. Over many years, historians of science have been amassing evidence of science as a social activity, part of the culture of its time. As these studies progress, they stumble into psychoanalytic territory willy nilly. Indeed, the very notion of enquiry into nature becomes a psychoanalytic issue, as soon as we think of it as an emotionally charged approach to an object. If we think of Boyle as an early modern scientific investigator and as a personification of the tensions surrounding the investigation of nature as an object in the psychoanalytic sense, then we have a double reason for bringing a psychoanalytic understanding to bear upon him.One of the criticisms of a psychoanalytic enquiry into any historical figure or situation is that the object of study is not present in the way a patient is present. It is not simply that the patient is not there – after all, there is documentary evidence to stand in for the missing person – but that the key feature that makes the enquiry psychoanalytic is missing. There is no transference, and no way to monitor the accuracy of interpretations. That means that the analyst cannot sit in the place of the objects in which the subject has an intense emotional investment, and from which vantage the subject of these investments can be studied. In that sense, the enquiry cannot be said to be properly psychoanalytic in method.

Social Impact Bond (SIB) is a funding mechanism for social projects whereby the payment for the projects is anchored on meeting the outcome metrics, otherwise the investors risk losing their money. The mechanism emerged since 2010 in the United Kingdom and has quickly spread to other parts of the world. In the past, there has not been any popular fatwā on this mechanism from a Sharīʿah point of view.  Therefore, this article will examine the funding and payment arrangement and then conduct takyif fiqhi (jurisprudential adaptation) to ascertain the degree of Sharīʿah compliance and determine the most appropriate Islamic contract most suitable under the arrangement. The article adopts qualitative method of research by making in-depth analysis of Islamic contracts including the primary and secondary sources of Islamic law. It also relied on literature on SIB from conventional point of view and internet materials. Major findings of the research show that SIB, whilst its pay-for-success mechanism does not contain ribā, it contains excessive gharar. The excessive gharar, however, was found ineffective to void al-jaʿālah-based SIB and hibah li thawāb which is the second contract similar to SIB. This is because of hājah and element of gratuity respectively.

Sir George Fottrell placed a number of newspaper cuttings in his journal, most of which have not been reproduced. Some passages of text, chiefly those listing the contents of memoranda or parliamentary bills, have also been excised and referenced. Wherever possible, the journal has been cross-referenced with the documentary evidence to which it relates. Fottrell's statements have been explored by means of editorial notes based on manuscript, newspaper, and secondary sources. Their veracity has been tested wherever possible, with attention being drawn to any statement of fact that is proven to have been inaccurate. Biographical notes are largely confined to the period covered by the journal and minor spelling mistakes and other errors in the text have been silently corrected. Occasional stylistic infelicities have been left unaltered, though in some places punctuation and capitalization have been added for reasons of clarity and consistency. Latin phrases, foreign words, and the titles of publications have been printed in italics and missing words have been written in full within square brackets.

The aims of this research are: [1]. Describing the historiographic dimension of Bengawan Sala (Solo River), [2]. Describing the mythology alive in the people’s mind along the River Sala, [3]. Formulating revitalization of historiography and mythology of Bengawan Sala which can support the development of tourism in Surakarta. This is a qualitative research making use of primary and secondary sources. Research data were collected by using in-depth interviews, guided group discussions, field observations, and a close reading method (metode simak). Triangulation of data sources was done to ensure the validity of data. Data were analyzed by using the technique of interactive model. The results of the research show that [1]. Historiography of Bengawan Sala is important and singularly valuable when it is viewed from its historical perspective. From its historiographic aspect, Bengawan Sala was a main and urgent channel of transportation before the coming of train, cars and airplanes. [2]. The meanings of mythology around Bengawan Sala, such as Kerek, Lubuk Maya, Bengawan Goa Sentana, Benawi Getas, Lubuk Werpitu, all show the “sacredness” [or “keangkeran”] of Bengawan Sala as a channel for transportation. This mythological story functions to remind all boating people through such areas to be careful because those areas are the place where two different streams from the opposite direction meet each other, or where whirl pools happen. Mythological story of Tinggang depicts the giants which already died, “ambreganggang” shortened as “Tinggang.” People believe that the big wood fossils scattered in the area are the bones of the giants which were already dead, “ambreganggang“ [or “fell down criss-crossing”]. That mythology shows that the lands around Bengawan Sala are fertile. [3]. The exploratory research gives a basic model of “Revitalization Based on the Historiography of Bengawan Sala” (or “Revitalisasi Bengawan Sala Berbasis Kesadaran Sejarah”), that is revitalization of Bengawan Sala through the historiography and mythology development of it.
