As alluded to, a majority of the contributions blend to- gether: the author recounts the advent of certain social media platforms and other digital technolo- gies, explains why she or he hones in on one or two platforms (usually Facebook and Twitter), and offers advice on using social media, which more or less pertains to knowing your audience, striving for a healthy balance between your time on social media and your time with people, and being yourself.

    • summary: However, by planning, implementing, and refining access to elec- tronic resources and online reference interviews, the librarians of the CCU Library believe that they significantly contribute to the education of the next generation no matter where they are located. However, the increasing duplication of academic programs in both colleges, and the commonly-cited advantages of e-books (title is available 24/7, accessible from any- where, can’t be lost/damaged, etc.) led to a change in policy: the library now purchases the elec- tronic format whenever it is available and will purchase physical titles only if the electronic format is unavailable and if they are requested by CUS faculty or students.

Through its spotlight on “central themes” of mission from an interdisciplinary vantage point, the Encyclopedia of Missions and Missionaries occupies a unique place within the array of reference tools that describe and interpret the phenomenon of christian missions.

    • summary: Further treatment of these immigration patterns is outside the ambit of this present paper, but it will be increasingly important to ask: how should these trends in global immigration affect the rationale and resources given for our documentation of world Christianity, especially in light of the fact that an ever increasing number of our citizens and seminarians represent faith communities from the global South? �4 Philip Jenkins, The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, �00�). In his account of the literature on world Christianity in the global North, Jenkins is aligned with many ATLA librarians in their dissatisfaction with the present state of documentation of global Christianity in the Western academy.

    • summary: Difficulties: Being a Correspondence about the Catholic Religion between Ronald Knox and Arnold Lunn (London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1952) consists of a series of letters between Knox and Lunn, then a rather agnostic Protestant who had earlier attacked Knox and other converts. It is a group portrait of the four Knox brothers, one of whom was Fitzgerald’s father, and thus provides less specific information on Ronald Knox than Waugh does.

The fact that certain areas of scholarship on hinduism are dominated by those in certain geographical locations, mainly northern india, is to be expected based on the dominance of the hindi culture in these areas; however, the editors’ attempt to provide views of hinduism throughout the world demonstrates a desire for objectivity.

    • summary: The roundtable recommended three essential actions libraries must make to achieve the necessary transformation to remain relevant in the years ahead: 1) librarians must evolve from print media to user-focused media and become information specialists; 2) the culture of libraries and their staffs must change from a mindset of primarily ownership and control to one that seeks to provide service and guidance in helping users find information regardless of the format; and �) libraries must assert their evolving role not only within their institutions but share their information dissemination and retrieval expertise in other markets.15ammerman related the changing role of the academic library specifically to the seminary library.1� he identified three factors that seminary libraries should address as they move into the future: 1) collaborative models of scholarship and pedagogy involving both physical and technological infrastructure; 2) globalization, especially made possible by technology including providing library services to those at a distance; and �) changes in scholarly 8 ibid. 9 allen W.

When I asked him about what programs, services, collections, and technology he would design specifically for them if he could, his response was that having a “core collection” of Latino resources for Bible Institutes and ATS member schools is crucial to meet the deeper and prevailing needs of the Latino community.

Picking up this theme, Paul S. Williams, in the essay “Christianity and the Global Economic Order,” contends that the economy has an essential religious nature (utilitarianism) and that failure to acknowledge this has led to the uncritical acceptance of a set of utilitarian value judgments (e.g., the ultimate purpose of an economic system is to promote economic growth; hence, the economic system is whichever one maximizes that growth by whatever means necessary).
