 * 1)  **Examine all of the**   **footnotes or references. What type of items or articles are they? Are they from the library field? From books, articles, websites? Looking at their titles or the way they are used, how many of them appear to be research?**
 * 2)  **Think about how the autho**   **r uses these articles. In what way does he or she make use of them or relate them to her or his topic or methodology?**
 * 3)  **Are there differences in the use of a cited item in different parts of the article, such as in**  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **troduction, review of literature, methodology, discussion or conclusions section?**
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Refer my attached .pdf document, “Summary for Part 1 of Week 3: Article Analysis A: Literature Review.” [[file:article anaysis a_examination of footnotes and references.pdf]]
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Of the total of 17 cited sources, 5 references for this article were published in 4 separate journal articles (all from the library field), and 2 references were from the same magazine article (not from the library field). The remaining 8 sources were footnotes that defined terms, quoted websites, and quoted interviewees and survey respondents. Of about 17 cited sources, 1 was confirmed as a research article and I was unable to absolutely confirm 1 since it was not available via the IUPUI University Library's database.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Most of the cited articles and footnotes relate to providing examples of practices that supported survey findings/discussion and the conclusion that regarding the concept of restorative justice and 3 goals of the same, which is the proposed ideal goal of a library-Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) partnership.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The author referred to 2 articles and several interview sources in the footnotes multiple times. 2 footnotes and a magazine article source are used in the introduction, with 1 of the footnotes expanding on the author's brief methodology discussion. The remaining 14 cited sources are within what I would call the “discussion” where the author summarizes findings from the 2 surveys that were conducted, as well as from a few interviews/email correspondences, etc. that were conducted relative to this research project. The brief conclusion did not include any cited sources, however.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**Do you believe the Article A author used this cited article appropriately? Is there anything else in this article which should have been mentioned? How did the focus of that cited article differ from your article?**
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Look**  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **up the cited article in Social Sciences Citation Index/ISI Web of Science and in**  __[|**Google Scholar**]__ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **. Examine the citations for all of the articles which cite it. What types of articles are they? Who seems to find this article useful? If none cite it, speculate on why this might be.**
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The sole research article cited in the Gilman study is located within the discussion section It is used minimally to illustrate a way in which libraries can partner with JDC's in the light of the common barrier of censorship. Gilman's 2 surveys target public libraries and JDC's and focuses on <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">the concept of restorative justice and 3 goals of the same, which is Gilman's proposed ideal goal of a library-Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) partnership. Jones' survey targeted public libraries only, and focused on the services provided to JDC's, and collection development/intellectual freedom issues even more specifically. Therefore, I believe Gilman cites Jones appropriately.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The Jones article is from Young Adult Library Services journal, which is apparently not indexed by ISI Web of Science (see __[]__ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">). I suspect that is not unrelated to the fact that it is published by the ALA's Young Adult Library Services Association as a sort of trade journal and it is not a journal that is primarily associated with research articles. I did play around with Web of Science for a while and tried searching for Jones by name but was unable to find any results for the same author. On the other hand, __[|Google Scholar revealed that the Jones article was cited in 5 sources]__ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> (actually it turned out to be 4 sources since 1 was a duplicate referring to the Gilman article since this ALA-related article has been republished by various sources related to the ALA). The 3 other sources that cited the Jones article, 2 (Herring; Sweeney) are apparently research articles (per their abstract) in journals from the library field. The final source (Duesa) is written in the Catalan language (according to the Google Translate tool) and originates from Barcelona, Spain (according to the translated abstract). According to the abstract and the “About” page of the website hosting the Duesa article, this is research-based thesis paper written for the University of Barcelona's Department of Theory and History of Education, and does not appear to have been published in a journal.

=**Part III:**= <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**Write two or three different sentences (bullet-point them separately) imagining using the article in different ways in your own study’s literature review. Length: up to 100 words total.** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**Word the sentences in the way of a ‘real’ literature review:** “ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Thompson’s research showed that cats were less suitable than dogs in reading programs.”** “ <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Thompson’s research was focused on 5th graders while the present study involves children in grades 7 and 8, who have more-developed math skills.”**
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">In light of the philosophy of restorative justice, Gilman provides a compelling argument that public libraries should consider expanded services they provide to Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) beyond providing books and promoting literacy. Specifically, Gilman provides numerous examples of ways in which libraries can make a meaningful impact on two of the guiding principles of restorative justice: accountability and competency development.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Gilman's survey results indicate that only 67% of the public libraries provide at least some basic level of service to a JDC. Regarding long-term library-JDC relationships, only 20% of the libraries who have a partnership with a JDC have entered into a written service agreement. While JDC's responding to Gilman's survey indicate a real desire to form long-term partnerships with libraries, the primary barrier to establishing partnerships seems to be a lack of funding as indicated by 50% of the <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> JDC's without current library services. 72% of JDC's without current library services further indicated that they would be interested in forming a partnership if the library would provide funding for the services.
