This book, first published in 1992, examines the reference
librarian's role as a connecting link between information seekers
and the resources they need. It provides the best approaches to
providing resolutions or guidance to the appropriate resources. It
analyses librarians' reference skills, communication abilities,
accuracy in responding to specific inquiries, and sensitivity to
various groups such as paraprofessionals and non-traditional
patrons. This provocative book encourages librarians to go beyond
merely providing an answer or resource to helping clients better
understand the physical surroundings, the social or educational
context, and the ethical, political and economic climate in which
the process takes place.

Collected for the first time, the foundational contributions of a
scholar and activist who shaped the study of Garveyism and
pan-Africanism. This volume brings together Robert A. Hill's most
important writings for the first time, highlighting his
intellectual contributions to the history of pan-Africanism. A
pioneering scholar and activist, a ground-breaking builder of
pan-African archives, and the editor of the multivolume Marcus
Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers, Hill
remains under-acknowledged for his influence on the field. This
collection is a long-overdue testament to his legacy. Adam Ewing
showcases Hill's ground-breaking writings on Garveyism, the
pan-African, anticolonial movement that spread across the globe
following World War I. Hill's essays trace Marcus Garvey's evolving
thought and illuminate the resonance of the movement in the
Caribbean and its diaspora, in the United States, and across
sub-Saharan Africa. The volume also includes Hill's writings on
diverse aspects of pan-Africanism, including the imposter figure in
diaspora history, Cyril Briggs's African Blood Brotherhood, the
Rastafarian movement, the fiction of George Schuyler, George
Beckford and the Abeng collective in Jamaica, the theories of
Walter Rodney, the life and thought of C.L.R. James, and the music
of Bob Marley. This volume not only demonstrates Hill's
intellectual praxis and its roots in his academic influences and
personal experiences but also reveals the breadth, diversity,
complexity, and centrality of the pan-African tradition in African
diasporic politics and thought. Publication of this work made
possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue
Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
An electrical engineer, university teacher and wide-ranging writer,
Fleeming Jenkin (1833 85) filed thirty-five British patents in the
course of his career. Edited by Sidney Colvin (1845 1927) and J. A.
Ewing (1855 1935) and first published in 1887, this two-volume work
brings together a selection of Jenkin's varied and engaging papers.
The collection ranges from notes on his voyages as a marine
telegraph engineer, to a critical review of Darwin's On the Origin
of Species, essays on literature, and thoughts on technical
education. A memoir written by Robert Louis Stevenson, his former
student, provides biographical context and attests to Jenkin's many
interests and talents across the arts and sciences. Volume 1 begins
with Stevenson's memoir, incorporating Jenkin's records of his
voyages. This is followed by writings on literature and drama.
Three pieces on scientific subjects, including the review of
Darwin, conclude the volume."
