Abstract and citation online via search of Ebscohost.com. 1 page., This article deals with the deliberation of development journalism as a subfield of development communication. It further examines the connection between public journalism and development journalism. The development journalist "should be an active community participant in social change. He or she cannot be a neutral observer who adheres to objectivity. The journalist must relate development to people and focus on relations and the totality of concrete life situations. He or she must go well beyond economics and bring out the inherent drama in development, democracy, and participation."

Routledge Studies in Literacy. 259 pages., Using a case study, the author examines why participants engage in adult learning/literacy programs and how they use the outcomes. "Literacy achievement could not have been the driving force." Nor could the participatory practices have "rendered the programme irresistable and empowering to women."

The indexes for Department of Agriculture and Agricultural Experiment Station literature are not the easily located or readily available except in a few libraries. There is valuable historical research that could be of use to researchers in many fields. Agricultural librarians need to find ways to make the literature more readily available.

237 pages, Includes a description of "Consumer Time," a radio program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and produced by Donald E. Montgomery, consumer's counsel for USDA beginning in 1935. At that time, the USDA was the only government agency with an "official" position devoted to the concerns of the consumer. (p. 145). Another program, "Consumer Flashes," was part of the "National Farm and Home Hour" broadcast on NBC "Red" Network. Also includes (p. 47) statistics showing how lower-income listeners made up about 80% of the U.S. radio audience in 1940. Programs such as the "National Barn Dance" on WLS Radio, Chicago, were cited as especially popular.
Despite significant improvements in nominal levels, severe gaps of digital inclusion still exist in the American economy. This paper argues that, for certain groups, migration towards mobile computing and digital inclusion may transpire from 2G voice centric mobile telecommunications to data centric mobile computing devices. Accordingly, this analysis employs a large data set to investigate what socio-economic factors are determinant for the diffusion of mobile telecommunications; how these findings can be extended to help close the digital divide; and how these findings can inform policy making concerning the digital divide.

Notes:
13 pages., "While the biopharm industry pushes forward toward commercialization, USDA has kept the public and interested stakeholders in the dark about this reemergence (of approved applications for genetic engineering of plants to produce pharmaceuticals, industrial compounds and other novel proteins).
"emerging data suggest that, in some circumstances, the media reporting of science is surprisingly accurate and portrays a message created by the scientific community. As such, there are reasons to believe that the hyping of research might be part of a more systemic problem associated with the increasingly commercial nature of the research environment."
Examines the controversy between behavioral scientists who have conceptualized the honeybee dance as a linguistic system and scientists who support the "great chain of being," with man and other higher animals "at the apex" and invertebrates "in the basement."
Argues that the knowledge and ability to build and describe collections needs to be spread among a larger distributed group of participants in the face of two trends: (1) Traditional methods of organizing,k describing and providing access to documents are being overwhelmed by the ever-increasing number of digitized materials. (2) Cultural and indigenous knowledge is disappearing as environments and people cease to exist. Suggests three mechanisms.
