Light Aid Detachment

Template:Afc top A Light Aid Detachment was a subunit of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers or Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. These subunits provided logistical support to field units of the British Army or Canadian Army. REME and RCEME were created in February 1944 out of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps and Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps who previously handled functions such as the repair of weapons, optics and vehicles. LADs were divisions of larger units known as Workshops.

Robert J. Grover

Template:Afc top Doctor Robert J. Grover, who has also published under the nickname Bob, was born on October 27, 1942 in LaPorte Indiana. He started his career in library science as the Media Services Coordinator of the Westville public schools in 1968, where he spent two years. He then spent four years as the librarian of the Oak Park/River Forest high school. Grover made the decision to persist in this field, continuing on to become an associate instructor at the Graduate School of Library Science of Indiana University as he received his graduate degree in the MLS program and then earning a PhD in the same program. From 1981 through 1987, he served as the dean of the School of Library and Information Management at Emporia State University in Kansas a position to which he was reappointed in 1998 and continues to serve, currently in a temporary capacity, through today. During his ‘sabbatical’ from Emporia State, he was director and professor at the School of Library and Information Science at the University of South Florida. According to his ESU faculty biography, “since 1990 he has worked closely with the Kansas Association of School Librarians, chairing the KASL Research Committee, 1994-2001; that committee created a model for planning and assessing learning and tested that model.” Dr. Grover may also be the only person to have two nearly identical entries (due to an editorial mistake?) in the 1982 Who’s Who in Library and Information Services.

Dr. Grover initially helped the nascent field of library science find a theoretical, research base from which to grow. His 1986 paper, co-written with Jack D. Glazer, proposed a taxonomy of theory for library and information studies research that attempted to visualize and explain the progress from the observation of a phenomena to a “world view” through the practice of theoretically-based research. The authors revisited this taxonomy of theory again in 2002, this time to include the impact of the individually and socially affective dimensions, maintaining the same basic structure and concepts while confronting those factors that may influence the researcher’s perception of phenomena. This renewed vision they called “Circuits of Theory” as it includes the original taxonomy as well as the contextual models researchers must consider in their work. This modification to their original points to the heavy influence of Carol Kuhlthau and other context-related theoreticians that is prevalent through much of Grover’s work.

In looking at the affective dimension of the information search process and how to best assist in that work, Dr. Grover’s writing constantly reinforces the multidisciplinary nature inherent in one’s role as an information specialist. In his 1993 paper, A Proposed Model for Diagnosing Information Needs, in which he elaborated on the importance of assessing not only the explicit information need of the user but also the inherent issues that may affect the receptivity to found information, Dr. Grover drew on several disciplines within the behavioral sciences including learning theory, cognitive theory, life-type theory, brain theory, information theory, and role theory. Amazingly, he suggested that even this wide variety of disciplines would not be enough to adequately inform the field in the future. He asserted that other areas of research to include in future assessments of information needs diagnosis include sociology, social psychology, linguistics, physiology, cultural anthropology, ethnography and cybernetics. By encouraging the inclusion of several bodies of research beyond library science, Grover has attempted to solidify this field as one firmly planted in the hard sciences.

Grover’s research focus has served as a reminder to all information professionals that their discipline cannot grow within a vacuum. To this end, Dr. Grover’s biggest contribution to the field of school media research has been to help establish a common language and assessment methods with which content-area teachers, administrators and the school media specialist can effectively discuss and prepare school curriculum. Through his work with the Kansas Association of School Librarians and the Kansas State Department of Education, Grover and several contemporaries, including Carl Fox and Jacqueline McMahon Lakin developed and tested what they call “The Handy 5,” a common-language rubric of students’ success with learned information skills. The five steps identified by this teaching model include: (1) assignment, (2) plan of action, (3) doing the job, (4) product evaluation, and (5) process evaluation. These researchers theorized, and discovered through research, that the development of such a language would foster greater collaboration between teachers and media center specialists in planning meaningful activities for learners.
