Dewey required apprenticeships to be part of the first library school at the University of Chicago as a method to indoctrinate new professional. Today, acculturation is incorporated into the professional education through a large variety of experiential learning techniques, including internships, practicum, field work, and service learning projects, all of which are designed to develop some level of professional skills within an information organization. But, what is done for understanding library culture? It is said that one cannot truly recognize the extent of one's own cultural assumptions, until they have experienced another. This study followed a group of LIS graduate students that took that next step – going to Russia.
By employing a critical hermeneutic methodology, this study sought to understand what value students gain by from working on an assessment project in an international school library. Using a horizon analysis, the researcher established the worldview of participants prior to their departure, analyzed their experience through post-experience interviews, and constructed an understanding of value. Among other concepts, the researcher looked specifically to see whether "library cultural competency", understanding library culture in global context, was developed through working on a service learning project within an international school library. This dissertation provides feedback for the program leaders and ideas for future research.</p>Russian Peasant Women's Resistance Against the State during the Antireligious Campaigns of 1928-19322016-06-28T16:28:55-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc849654/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc849654/"><img alt="Russian Peasant Women's Resistance Against the State during the Antireligious Campaigns of 1928-1932" title="Russian Peasant Women's Resistance Against the State during the Antireligious Campaigns of 1928-1932" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc849654/small/"/></a></p><p>This study seeks to explore the role of peasant women in resistance to the antireligious campaigns during collectivization and analyze how the interplay of the state and resistors formed a new culture of religion in the countryside. I argue that while the state’s succeeded in controlling most of the public sphere, peasant women, engaging in subversive activities and exploiting the state’s ideology, succeeded in preserving a strong peasant adherence to religion prior to World War II. It was peasant women’s determination and adaptation that thwarted the party’s goal of nation-wide atheism.</p>Cultural Exchange: the Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours2015-08-21T05:42:39-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699929/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699929/"><img alt="Cultural Exchange: the Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours" title="Cultural Exchange: the Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699929/small/"/></a></p><p>The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge.</p>The Hexagon, Volume 102, Number 2, Summer 20112012-11-02T13:21:42-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc111266/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc111266/"><img alt="The Hexagon, Volume 102, Number 2, Summer 2011" title="The Hexagon, Volume 102, Number 2, Summer 2011" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc111266/small/"/></a></p><p>Quarterly publication of the Alpha Chi Sigma chemistry fraternity containing articles related to chemistry research and the activities of the organization, including local chapters and groups.</p>State of the Climate in 20092010-11-19T08:52:08-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc29344/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc29344/"><img alt="State of the Climate in 2009" title="State of the Climate in 2009" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc29344/small/"/></a></p><p>This report describes observations of precipitation, temperature, and other climatology metrics from different global regions.</p>Renewables 2010: Global Status Report2010-09-11T23:15:36-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28540/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28540/"><img alt="Renewables 2010: Global Status Report" title="Renewables 2010: Global Status Report" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28540/small/"/></a></p><p>This report describes economic trends in building the capacity of renewable energy in several countries.</p>Clearing the Waters: A focus on water quality solutions2010-09-11T23:15:36-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28582/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28582/"><img alt="Clearing the Waters: A focus on water quality solutions" title="Clearing the Waters: A focus on water quality solutions" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28582/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses global water issues and offers a variety of proposals for countering the degradation of freshwater ecosystems for the benefit of public health and the environment.</p>
