Topics: Biology

Notes: Many methods have been developed to determine microbial levels in food products and these include ATP bioluminescence, hydrophobic grid membrane filtration (HGMF), impediometry and turbidimetry. A comparison of these techniques for detecting microbial levels in chicken carcass rinses was conducted.Only the ATP bioluminescence assay and the HGMF system showed a good correlation with plate counts (r = 0.82 and r = 0.83, respectively). The repeatability of these methods was acceptable. There was also a significant correlation between results obtained with two turbidimetric methods and HGMF as well as between HGMF and ATP bioluminescence data. However, only the ATP bioluminescence assay was able to provide results of microbial levels on a realtime basis (within 10 min). This would be beneficial for HACCP (Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points) based programs.

Topics: Information Science and Librarianship

Notes: Changes in the role of the academic librarian have been variouslyattributed to: the enterprise culture, the new managerialism, economics,IT and educational change. Explores whether the customer care movementis also having an impact on the concept of professional excellence.Presents the results of a study involving 83 professional and supportstaff from four West Midlands universities who were asked to define thequalifications, qualities and abilities they would require of a librarydirector and an information specialist. Finds a demand for traditionalmanagement skills on the part of the director far exceeding professionalcompetence or scholarly achievement; customer care was not specificallymentioned; involvement with customers was required of the informationspecialist, but the skills required were interpersonal and at a problemsolving rather than a strategic level; there was heavy demand for ITskills. Outlines suggestions for changing the knowledge, skills andattitudes required for professional excellence.
