Smith Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:34:16 +0000 http://sc.edu/library/blogs/libguides/2008/02/27/article-on-research-guides/#comment-15 As the writer of the "precious" abstract, I can only tell you that the journal forces authors to reduce the meaning of their works down to an impossibly small space, abstract-wise. The article is not terribly difficult to understand, but if you have no experience in statistical analysis--up to linear regression, either a first or second year statistics subject--it will probably be slow going. I hope everyone will not be frightened off, because the approach I describe is wonderfully suited to program assessment, something that is rather difficult to accomplish within the library context.

I don't know if I dare attempt the article itself. I hope you don’t mind an intruder (from Boston College), but that abstract is just so precious. I don’t know if I dare attempt the article itself.

I just wanted to let your users know that the color/style they will have after you removed the system-wide color restriction is the same as any color/style they had before you setup the global color. In other words, their original colors/styles were never deleted from the system - they are still recorded in system tables. It is just that those styles were overridden with the global style you set up. Now that you removed the global style/color, those individual guide colors/styles will become active again. I hope I didn't confuse you folks :) Regards, -Slaven http://support.springshare.com Hi Beki,
