Abstract
Since we became a test library for version 4.0 of the OCLC Cataloging Micro Enhancer software (CAT ME), several catalogers at Duke University Library have been experimenting with using laptop computers to edit OCLC records. We're investigating the advantages of offline editing during normal working hours, editing by the cataloger, and the convenience of working at a desk where books to be cataloged as well as reference sources (e.g., classification schedules and Cutter tables) are handy. We hope to determine if it's efficient for catalogers to do their own entry.

Abstract
In August, 1987, the Cataloging Department at Duke University began a series of changes in workflow and procedures that increased our production while retaining traditional cataloging standards for authority control. Since January, 1988, we've processed almost all of our cataloging using the Cataloging Micro Enhancer software (CAT ME) in order to take advantage of computer programs designed to speed up cataloging processes. We accomplished this because of a fortunate combination of talent in the department, a series of experiments with the CAT ME, and a mandate to increase production. I offer this description of what we've done to encourage others to find a way to make computers serve their needs in a flexible and timely manner.

Abstract
Purpose – This chapter explores how select “evidence-based” police scholars act as gatekeepers to research opportunities, in Canada, thus impeding critical research that pertains to Black communities.
Methodology/Approach – Using the critical race method of counter-storytelling, the following narrative demonstrates how race and racism may play a role in the collection and dissemination of research that examines racial bias in Canadian policing. This methodology aims to refute the notion of critical objectivity, which is often used to promote the principles of evidence-based policing (EBP).
Findings – Findings suggest that through various powers and levels within both the policing and academic community, a select number of scholars have influence over Canadian policing research that explores racial bias and discrimination. As such, research that may help to develop effective and efficient policing programs to address racial bias, is thwarted.
Originality – No Canadian study explores anti-racist training programs or evaluates their effectiveness. This chapter demonstrates that this may be the result of gatekeeping. The following chapter provides insight into how this is done within EBP circles.

Abstract
Purpose
To determine how the correlational structure of emotion differs for individuals age 60 and above, compared to those under age 60, and to discuss the profound implications these differences may have for the experience and management of emotion.
Design/methodology/approach
Structural equation modeling and shortest path analysis of emotion items from the General Social Survey (GSS)’s (1996) emotions module.
Findings
Some positive and negative emotion pairs are more distant for individuals over age 60, while others are in fact closer. This variability leads to differences in available shortest paths between emotions, especially when emotional transitions require segueing through intermediary feelings. The segueing emotions most readily available to those over 60 are limited to the poles of affective meaning, whereas those used by ones under age 60 are more variable. The majority of negative emotions are more tightly correlated, whereas the majority of positive emotions are less so, among those over age 60.
Research limitations/implications
Although the measures are limited to 18 of the 19 emotions recorded by the GSS, and are based on self-report data regarding feelings felt over a period of seven days, these results suggest that attempts at intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion management may differ depending up the age of the actor/object.
Originality/value
Addresses the need for more nuanced analyses of emotional experience that goes moves beyond simple frequencies. Also suggests potential bridges between sociological and psychological approaches to the study of emotion.

Abstract
This compilation of over 500 United States Government bibliographies is the second annual supplement to BIBLIOGRAPHY OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BIBLIOGRAPHIES 1968–1973 (Pierian Press). Due to the Government Printing Office backlog during 1974, many 1973 and 1974 titles are included in this 1975 Supplement, which should have appeared earlier.
