Australia Attorney-General calls for banning books that incite terrorism

Joshua Pantesco

[JURIST] Australian Attorney-General Philip Ruddock [official website]
Wednesday called on Australian states to ban books inciting terrorism in
the wake of a recent Australian Classification Review Board (CRB)
[official website] decision to ban two Islamic books that allegedly
incited terror while allowing five others to circulate. An incitement ban
would require changing the current legal test for prohibition, which goes
to intent rather than effect.

EDUCATION: COLLEGE: PROFESSORS: CREDENTIALING:
Ted Tedrick:
Temple University Professor:
School of Tourism and Hospitality Management

This post is two fold in purpose. The first purpose is to document the
excellent academic work of a dear colleague in the Tourism and Hospitality
program here at Temple University which includes recreation, leisure
studies and sports management as additional parts of that program. The
professor is Ted Tedrick who not only has contributed a number of first
rate publications to the literature in his field, but also provides
excellent teaching and counseling to both undergraduate and graduate
students here at this university.

Many faculty needing to credential their publication work, use Web of
Science or its print counterparts, Science Citation Index, Social Sciences
Citation Index and Arts and Humanities Citation Index. These are of
course excellent resources but at smaller colleges with limited budgets
these tools may not be part of the library collection, so that access to
these sources to demonstrate the impact of a faculty member's publications
through who and how many have cited their works may be a difficult task in
terms of individual faculty gaining such access to these tools at these
small or under budgeted academic institutions. Secondly, Web of Science
includes a very limited and specific group of journals that may not
provide substantial coverage in some disciplines or in those frequented by
the publications of an individual faculty member.

The second purpose of this post is to demonstrate, using Ted Tedrick as an
example, the usefulness of certain free tools on the internet to provide
at least a listing of some publications by a faculty member and some of
the citing of these publications by other scholars.

Since the purpose of this bibliography is to make the reader aware of the
kind of faculty credentialing that is possible through internet sources,
this document does not pretend to be complete or exhaustive, but rather to
provide knowledge by example as to how this type of documentation is
possible with the internet.

These sources are presented in the order found using internet search
tools, namely Google Scholar, Google Books and Google.
