James F. Evans Collection, This study deals with the hypothesis that communication media of the West are comparatively more influential in exporting cultural imperialism to the socio-cultural disadvantage of developing countries. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the powerful media of the West, particularly of the USA vis-a-vis other dominant factors which are considered effective tools of cultural exportation from the haves to the have-nots.

Examines the political and cultural possibilities and limits of the wide-ranging reggae scene that has emerged along both sides of the U.S./Mexico border since the 1990s. It investigates why and how members of seemingly disparate border communities, including Mexicanas/os, Chicanas/os, and Native Americans, find common social and political ground playing Afro-Caribbean inspired music. It also interrogates how people living in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands have responded to the impact of economic and political globalization by using reggae to fashion multiethnic and post-national political formations and social relationships at the grassroots.

AGRICOLA IND 92004221, County agents receive cost of production information primarily from state extension services and then disseminate it to agricultural producers. A survey gathered data on agent usage of this information. A Poisson regression analysis using count data was performed to determine the factors influencing the number of times county agents directly referred to published cost of production (enterprise budget) information in a year. The agent's understanding of budget information use in management decisions, the availability of budgets, and his/her receiving the budgets in multiple forms (e.g., sheets, booklets, or software) had significant positive impacts on the use of budgets by the agent.

AGRICOLA IND 92017549; Presented at the VIII World Congress of IAALD, May, 1990, Budapest, Hungary, The United States Agricultural Information Network (USAIN) is the first organization developed specifically to provide a national forum through which U.S. agricultural librarians might address many issues associated with the collection, access and delivery of agricultural information. The objectives of the network include: to provide a forum for discussion of agricultural information issues; to take a leadership role in the formation of a national information policy as related to agriculture; and to make recommendations to the National Agricultural Library on agricultural information matters. The network promotes and assists efforts by the cooperating agencies to: determine the availability and location of resources; develop and implement resource sharing agreements; explore the potentials of shared collection development programs; and maintain and preserve present and future resources. USAIN strives to ensure the fullest possible sharing of information and library materials in the most cost-effective manner. The success of these efforts will help to ensure equality of access and availability of resources for agricultural information users throughout the United States. (original)

Notes:
A personal account of an era of enormous cultural and political change, which reveals Harry Belafonte as not only one of America's greatest entertainers, but also one of our most profoundly influential activists. Belafonte spent his childhood in both Harlem and Jamaica, where the toughness of the city and the resilient spirit of the Caribbean lifestyle instilled in him a tenacity to face the hurdles of life head-on and channel his anger into positive, life-affirming actions. He returned to New York City after serving in the Navy in World War II, and found his calling in the theater, before transitioning into a career as a singer and Hollywood leading man. During the 1960s civil rights movement, Belafonte became close friends with Martin Luther King, Jr., and used his celebrity as a platform for his activism in civil rights and countless other political and social causes. This book tells the inspiring story of an original and powerful entertainer who has always engaged fiercely with the issues of his day.

Notes:
Surveys the origins of rock 'n' roll from the minstrel era to the emergence of Bill Haley and Elvis Presley. Dispelling common misconceptions, this book examines rock's origins in hokum songs and big-band boogies as well as Delta blues, detailing the embrace by white artists of African-American styles long before rock 'n' roll appeared. This study ranges far and wide, highlighting not only the contributions of obscure but key precursors like Hardrock Gunter and Sam Theard but also the influence of celebrity performers like Gene Autry and Ella Fitzgerald. Too often, rock historians treat the genesis of rock 'n' roll as a bolt from the blue, an overnight revolution provoked by the bland pop music that immediately preceded it and created through the white appropriation of music until then played only by and for black audiences. Here, Birnbaum argues a more complicated history of rock's evolution from a heady mix of ragtime, boogie-woogie, swing, country music, mainstream pop, and R&B—a melange of genres that influenced one another along the way, from the absorption of blues and boogies into jazz and pop to the integration of country and Caribbean music into R&B.

James F. Evans Collection, This study provides a quantitative content analysis of the depictions of sex roles in the American news magazine Time and the West German news magazine Stern from 1969 to 1988. The underlying assumption of the study is that advertisements reflect changes in social reality. While most studies focus on explicit aspects of gender role depictions such as jobs, activities, interactions and situations, this content analysis also covers implicit aspects of role depictions such as posture, gestures, and facial expression. Some authors have claimed that these are powerful means of transmitting traditional sex role stereotypes of women as being submissive and of men being dominant. Results indicate that while there have been considerable changes in the explicit presentation of male and female roles, the implicit presentation remained quite consistent over the 20-year period. According to these findings, sex roles may have changed primarily on the surface, while nonverbal sex role stereotypes still linger on. Differences between the developments in Germany and the US are outlined. (original)

18 pages, Digital agriculture has been developing rapidly over the past decade. However, studies have shown that the need for more ability to use these tools and the shortage of knowledge contribute to current farmer unease about digital technology. In response, this study investigated the influence of communication channels—mass media, social media, and interpersonal meetings—on farmers’ adoption, decision-making, and benefits obtained using technologies. The research uses data from 461 farmers in Brazil and 340 farmers in the United States, leaders in soybean production worldwide. The results show differences and similarities between these countries. LinkedIn has the highest positive association in Brazil between the communication channels and the digital agriculture technologies analyzed. In the United States, YouTube has the highest positive correlation. The overall influence of social media among Brazilian farmers is higher than among American farmers. The perceived benefits of using digital tools are more strongly associated with mass media communication in the United States than in Brazil. Regarding farm management decision-making, the study showed a higher relevance of interpersonal meetings in Brazil than in the United States. Findings can aid farmers, managers, academics and government decision makers to use communication channels more effectively in evaluating and adopting digital technologies.
