Professor wins Provost's Advisory
Council on Instructional Excellence (ACIE) Award — Supporting
Learning from Examples in a Programming Course
From University of Pittsburgh Teaching Times, October
2001.
Peter Brusilovsky, School of Information Sciences,
has a deep interest in teaching and research in computer
science education. Having taught programming subjects
for 15 years, he knows the importance of providing
students with examples to illustrate concepts. His
ACIE project, Supporting Learning from Examples in
a Programming Course, will enable him to develop a
rich Web-based database of programming examples that
students can explore at their own pace. Although this
software is initially targeted for an undergraduate
course, Data Structures and Programming Techniques,
it will support teaching and learning in any programming
class. more >>

From University Times, November 8, 2001
- November, 2001
Dr. Richard J. Cox has recently published
two lengthy articles, one in an encyclopedia and the
other a review essay in a major new journal in archival
studies. "The
Archivist and Collecting," Encyclopedia of Library
and Information Science, vol. 70, supp. 33 (New York:
Marcel Dekker, Inc., 2002), pp. 1-21 is a comprehensive
analysis of how archivists have viewed the matter of
collecting in the context of appraising and forming
archival holdings. "Review Article: Nicholson Baker,
Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper," Archival
Science, 1 (2001): 183-217 is a detailed review of
Baker's controversial book, focusing on the implications
of this book for international archival work. Dr. Cox
has a book-length response to Nicholson Baker in press
with Greenwood.
- November, 2001
A new book on archival administration
has appeared, featuring an essay by one of our faculty,
Richard J. Cox. The book is Bruce W. Dearstyne, ed.,
Leadership and Administration of Successful Archival
Programs (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood, 2001). According
to the book, Strong archival programs are rare because
the archival field has not given sustained attention
to program leadership and management issues over the
years. This collection of essays from eight of the
archival field's "notably successful leaders" provides
first-hand accounts of how to carry out planning, build
coalitions and alliances, garner resources, empower
and inspire program personnel, change program direction,
and take programs in new, dynamic directions. Richard
Cox's essay, "Leadership and Archival Education," is
the lead essay in the volume and considers the matters
of the role of graduate education in producing leaders
and whether leaders are born or made.
