yearbook: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called yearbook.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Theological; Library; Atla; Committee; School; Group; Baptist; David; Lutheran; Year; Christian; Members; Conference; Mennonite; Methodist; Development; Years; Websites; Campus; Pdc; June; Orthodox; Marta; Funnel; Association; Church; Jane; Crra; Reports

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Anglican/Episcopal by Milas, Patrick (2020) - However, my research for the presentation I did for Atla suggests that many board members are proud of their librar- ies and see them as crown jewels for the institution, even while they may have little knowledge of what librarians actually do. the librarian is on the board (e.g., as a faculty representative) or staffs a committee (e.g., the board’s curriculum committee).I fear this may lead board members to not think about the library very much except as a cost center.
