The importance with scholar-practitioner, of peer-review of scholarly journals is that the reviews have been examined by professionals within that particular area of study. An example of this is The American Psychological Association in which they have great journals. Peer- reviewed journals are held at a higher standard than others are, and show much credibility. Without peer reviewed journals, researchers would lack the accountability and scholar-practitioners would not have access to the accurate, detailed information that they need.
The two articles that I downloaded are both peer-viewed and I can say that for the reason that when I did my research I first made sure I only searched in the library and online for ones that had been peer-reviewed, and I went through the article and checked for the five ways to tell that the article was peer-reviewed (scholarly). I checked the author and made sure it was someone such as a professor, I made sure that they were written with terminology, they had references and works cited, abstract is very common in peer-reviewed articles, and last graphics and or charts which most contain at least one.
The importance in my area which I choose articles on Reactive Attachment Disorder and in any area is that peer-reviewed journals require detailed information on the methods of their research
Libraries and librarians are often been surrounded by mysteries, myths and legends. Among the most popular one will describe libraries as a boring place, it built just for nerds or for the little kids. Some even said that libraries have plenty of funding because they get so many donated books and charge so much in fines. Apart from that, people tend to describe librarians as women who are over 50 and they also believe that librarians wear their hair in buns, have wire-rimmed glasses, and say “shhhhh”…
web technology has been the creation of digital libraries, which allow users to access digital information resources from virtually anywhere in the world. Recent developments in information and communication technologies, including the web, and the availability of research funding have led to the development of digital library research projects, many of which have resulted in working digital libraries.A library is more than a pile of books. A library adds value to information resources by organizing…
In today’s age, information can be readily accessed anywhere through the Internet. Though many students have internet connection in their own homes, many still prefer to visit the library to finish their homework. Some have difficulties in choosing where they would do their work and where they would find the best materials.

The Library of congress was established by an act of congress on April 24, 1800. It was originally housed in the United States capitol. The collection, which stared out small at 740 volumes, slowly increased to over 3,000 volumes by 1814. That year, though, the British along with the capitol burned those books during the assault on Washington. To rapidly replace the collection, Thomas Jefferson offered his personal library to congress at no cost. This changed the library from a tiny legislative…
The Library of Life. The Library had just been built. The walls were made of marble. The doors were made of a dark stained oak wood. The windows were made of stained-glass showing an ancient library that had scrolls instead of the books we have now. The walls shined in the sunlight. The white marble was beautiful. It was engraved with different images that one might see on an ancient Greek Building like the Parthenon. They had a copy of the Athena Parthenos which was even holding a little…

The Google Library Project Hal R. Varian∗ January 2006 Revised: February 10, 2006 Abstract This is an economic analysis of the Google Library project.

I go on to examine the transactions costs associated with optin and opt-out models for publisher participation. I conclude that the Google Library Project is legally sound and economically sensible. In particular, an opt-in model would incur very substantial…
The Public Library: Pluses and Minuses Have been to other countries, and I can say that public libraries elsewhere are not half as good as the ones in America. The public library system in the United States is absolutely wonderful but also entirely underutilized. I soon discovered that even though the public library is wonderful, it also has some disadvantages that I did not see coming. One of the neatest…
