“9·11”事件后美国与印度尼西亚军事关系的正常化

冷战时期，美国与印度尼西亚在大部分时间里保持着密切的军事关系。1991年帝力事件后，美国政府行政部门在国会的压力下中止了对印度尼西亚的军事援助。1999年8月东帝汶公投独立后，印度尼西亚军方及其支持的民兵对东帝汶进行了攻击，美国国会对两国军事关系进一步作出限制，两国军事关系跌入低谷。“9·11”事件后，随着亚太地区安全形势及力量平衡的微妙变化，美国政府行政部门积极推动恢复两国的军事关系，在印度尼西亚有巨大利益的美国大公司和印度尼西亚政府也都积极游说美国政府行政部门和国会。这些因素促使两国军事关系实现了正常化，美国全面恢复了对印度尼西亚的军事援助。     

Language,Identity and Empowerment

Abstract

This article addresses the relationship between language and identity and language and power. Language is viewed as an important vehicle through which empowerment can occur in society and through which social workers can contribute to the empowerment of dual language individuals and communities. Language suppression is viewed through the framework of bilinguaphobia, a term coined by Faltis and Coulter in 2004. Because of the long and unique history of Spanish in Southwestern communities, the authors suggest that true empowerment must overcome the prevalent discourse of fear of bilingualism. This article suggests that the present status and identity of Latinos in the Southwestern United States would be enhanced and affirmed by the healthy co-existence of two tongues and two cultural frameworks and that social workers should recognize and advocate for the power of bilingual discourses.     

Serials Clutter in Online Catalogs

Abstract

Finding and deciphering serials records in online catalogs is a challenge to many library users. To understand and analyze these challenges, the author conducted searches for scientific journal titles in the online catalogs of Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) libraries. The first part of the study measures the difficulty of retrieving serial records from online catalogs comparing one-word versus multiple-word titles. The second part analyzes displays for complexity by measuring the length of the complete record and the length of the holdings statements. These data show the complexity of displays and indicate the potential confusion that these displays may induce in library users.
