This paper focuses on music trends in Recife, Brazil in 2000-01. It explores how alternative music communicates a contemporary regional identity in Northeast Brazil, is affected by cultural politics, and circulates within the musical market, in order to show how the perceived demands of globalization, such as the need to consume the products of the global entertainment industry, intersect with the dynamics of a regional music community. It was presented at the first Associação Brasileira de Etnomusicologia conference held in Recife in November 2002.

This article reports the results of the first month of an intensive photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaign of Supernova 2002ap.

This erratum corrects a computational error affecting the calculation of the intrinsic luminosities of several objects in the article "Is there a metallicity-luminosity relationship in active galactic nuclei? The case of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies." This does not affect any of the main results of the article.

This article discusses the relationship between metallicity and luminosity in active galactic nuclei by introducing new metallicity measurements for a sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies.

This study identifies strategies for enhancing access to Illinois libraries' holdings, where the strategies ensure the best stewardship possible for state and federal grant dollars for library automation and resources.

This white paper introduces evaluation concepts and describes outcome-based evaluation. The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) logic model is described in the context of developing a program evaluation plan. Four case studies illustrate how outputs, outcomes and indicators can be used to produce programs results.
