Support for the traditional card catalog was strong among both students and faculty at both colleges; only Swarthmore faculty gave majority support to the online catalog. A minority of perhaps one in six may never use the new technology. Resistance to change was proportionately highest in the humanities and lowest in the sciences, with social sciences in between. Respondents were unused to waiting for access to the card catalog and seemed unlikely to tolerate more than brief waits for the online catalog. While unconcerned about keeping online searches private, they did not like the idea of searching as others waited. Perceptions of the online catalog were sometimes positive; many welcomed the idea of terminals in faculty offices and student dormitories. Differences between the two colleges, while not great, may result from Swarthmore's greater experience with campuswide computing.Item Open Access Los repositorios institucionales: una oportunidad para la difusión del conocimiento(University of Oregon Libraries, 2006-07-03) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Presentation given July 3 at the Curso de Verano 2006 de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.Item Open Access The Promise of Institutional Repositories : Scholars' Bank at the University of Oregon(University of Oregon Libraries, 2005-10-03) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Presented October 3 to a meeting of GWLA library directors.Item Open Access Partnerships for Providing Access to Library Resources : Pushing the Envelope at the University of Oregon Libraries(University of Oregon Libraries, 2003-04-15) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-The University of Oregon Libraries Catalog Department has experimented in recent years with a wide variety of options for providing bibliographic access to library resources.

Hixson, 1984-02-29) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-On the eve of the Spanish conquest, complex societies that sought their legitimacy and identity in the past, and pursued the future through study of that past, dominated the area now known as Mexico. Written records were an important means of securing knowledge of the past and the surviving Mayan and Aztec manuscripts reveal their preoccupation with time and with their place in history. This paper, in seeking to demonstrate that the Mexican peoples were on the verge of developing a unified system of writing, and possibly some form of printing, will examine some of the salient features of those manuscripts and the societies that produced them.Item Open Access Managing Access at the University of Oregon : a Case Study of Scholars’ Bank(University of Oregon Libraries, 2006-06-24) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Presentation given June 24, 2006 at the American Library Association Annual Conference to the ALCTS Networked Resources and Metadata Interest Group Meeting.
