A study of Pope Innocent III’s treatise De quadripartita specie nuptiarum
Munk, Connie M.
De guadripartita specie nuptiarum is one of three theological treatises written by Innocent III, the other two being De contemptu mundi (De miseria conditionis humanae) and De missarum mysteriiis (De sacro altaris mysterio). De guadripartita is a work of scholastic theology based upon standard biblical exegesis and for the most part concerns mystical ecclesiology dealing with Christ and the Church and God and the soul. The purpose of the treatise was, as Innocent stated in the prologue, to discuss the marriage of the Sponsus (Christ) and the Sponsa (Church), to point out the analogies between carnal and spiritual marriage, and especially to expound Psalm 44.
The Roman Church is an office, the office of the head of the universal Church. By assuming the office of pope (bishop of Rome) the pope obtains the power of ruling not only the Roman Church, but also the universal body of which the Roman Church is the head. By marrying the Roman Church, the pope obtains the power to govern the universal Church and to act as the vicar of Christ. When the pope assumes his office of bishop of Rome he marries the Roman Church and obtains the sovereignty which is embodied in that office. The marriage metaphor is thus used by the medieval papacy in general, and Innocent III in particular, to express a theory of government, the government of the universal Church. Innocent III, therefore, uses the marriage metaphor throughout both the treatise De quadripartita specie nuptiarum and the sermon De guatuor speciebus desponsationum to express not only the intimate nature of the relationships between the Word and human nature, God and the just soul, and Christ and the Church; but also a hierocratic theory of papal government of the Church.

Author's Note: My dissertation consists of an edition, English translation, and study of Pope Innocent III's treatise De quadripartita specie nuptiarum. Because one of Innocent's consecration sermons, De quatuor speciebus desponsationum, continues the thought of the treatise and indeed is a sequel to it, I have also included an edition and translation of this consecration sermon. In addition to these texts and translations I have also written essays on Innocent's ecclesiology and on Innocent as a biblical exegete, and I have included general commentaries on both the treatise and the consecration sermon.

Demand driven acquisitions in academic libraries: A scoping review
Monroe-Gulick, Amalia; Back, Andi; Geiger Wolfe, Gwen; Outhier, Sara; Morris, Sara E.
Demand driven acquisitions (DDA) have become commonplace in academic libraries, but little is known about how they are assessed. This scoping review provides a comprehensive study of print and electronic monographic DDA programs at academic libraries. The review includes an examination of the definition of DDA programs, methodological approaches, and the impact of DDA programs on established library collections. The research team's goals include outlining the current discourse on DDA and identifying gaps in the existing literature, as well as examining the potential for standardization within the profession regarding DDA terminology and definitions. Of 1758 records, 48 publications were identified for inclusion. Analysis of the included publications revealed most studies examined electronic DDA programs that were considered pilots. Overwhelmingly, the literature studied aspects of return on investment, circulation, and use. More subject points of investigation such as evaluation of materials, satisfaction of users or librarians, and quality were less studied. Further research on aspects of print DDA, how the COVID-19 Pandemic affected DDA, and more recently growing acquisition methods such as evidence-based acquisitions are needed.

Recommended by Librarians: A Computational Citation Analysis Methodology for Identifying and Examining Books Promoted in LibGuides
Orth-Alfie, Carmen; Wolfe, Erin
To study library guides, as published on Springshare’s LibGuides platform, new approaches are needed to expand the scope of the research, ensure comprehensiveness of data collection, and reduce bias for content analysis. Computational methods can be utilized to conduct a nuanced and thorough evaluation that critically assesses the resources promoted in library guides. Web-based library guides are curated by librarians to provide easy access to high-quality information and resources in a variety of formats to support the research needs of their users. Recent scholarship considers library guides as valuable resources and as de facto publications, highlighting the need for critical study. In this article, the authors present a novel model for comprehensively gathering data about a specific genre of books from individual LibGuide pages and applying computational methods to explore the resultant data. Beginning with a pre-selected list of 159 books, we programmatically queried the titles using the LibGuides Community search engine. After cleaning and filtering the resultant data, we compiled a list of 20,484 book references (of which 6,212 are unique) on 1,529 LibGuide pages. By testing against inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevancy, we identified a total of 281 titles relevant to our topic. To gain insights for future study, citation analysis metrics are presented to reveal patterns of frequency, co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling of books promoted in LibGuides. This proof-of-concept could be adopted for a variety of applications, including assessment of collections, public services, critical librarianship, and other complex questions to enable a richer and more thorough understanding of the information landscape of LibGuides.
