Abstract One hundred years ago, a national prohibition on alcohol became the law of the United States. Although the Eighteenth Amendment was both passed in Congress and ratified by the states very quickly, it was the culmination of a fight that had been going on for a century. The focus of this article is to detail a comprehensive federal legislative history for the twin pillars of Prohibition, the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. In addition, the article examines the background story of the players, issues, and main events involved in the eventually successful, and then eventually unsuccessful, prohibition movement in America.

Abstract Part I of this article examines the proportion of reported opinions from U.S. federal and state courts between 1945 and 2018 that cite at least one academic legal periodical, while Part II applies that data beginning in 1970 to compare the proportion of opinions that cite to the flagship journals of 17 law schools selected and hierarchically categorized based on their U.S. News & World Reports rankings. Representing the most elite schools are Harvard Law Review and Yale Law Journal, the two longest running student-edited journals 1 at arguably the two most prestigious law schools in the United States, 2 followed by journals from three exemplar schools from the “Top 14,” and three law schools from each of the rankings' four tiers. This article explores these trends in the context of changes in technology, the judiciary, legal scholarship, and academic legal publishing.

Abstract This article concerns the history and continued importance of course reserve systems in academic law libraries. By examining the development of law library reserve systems and the current obstacles to their operation, this article argues that academic law librarians must prioritize reserves as a core part of their instructional support mission. Part I provides context for modern reserve systems by sketching their evolution within U.S. legal education, from the apprenticeship model of the early republic to the late 19th-century reforms (like the case method and casebook) that gave law libraries an expanded mission. Part II explores the cost, copyright, and pedagogical challenges that make designing modern reserve systems increasingly difficult and yet vital for equitable student support. Part III concludes with two modest proposals for best practices that could positively impact course reserve systems going forward.

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the clinical severity of COVID-19 pneumonia using qualitative and/or quantitative chest computed tomography (CT) indicators and identify the CT characteristics of critical cases Materials and Methods Fifty-one patients with COVID-19 pneumonia including ordinary cases (group A, n = 12), severe cases (group B, n = 15), and critical cases (group C, n = 24) were retrospectively enrolled The qualitative and quantitative indicators from chest CT were recorded and compared using Fisher exact test, one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and receiver operating characteristic analysis Results Depending on the severity of the disease, the number of involved lung segments and lobes, the frequencies of consolidation, crazy-paving pattern, and air bronchogram increased in more severe cases Qualitative indicators including total severity score for the whole lung and total score for crazy-paving and consolidation could distinguish groups B and C from A (69% sensitivity, 83% specificity, and 73% accuracy) but were similar between group B and group C Combined qualitative and quantitative indicators could distinguish these 3 groups with high sensitivity (B + C vs A, 90%;C vs B, 92%), specificity (100%, 87%), and accuracy (92%, 90%) Critical cases had higher total severity score (>10) and higher total score for crazy-paving and consolidation (>4) than ordinary cases, and had higher mean lung density (>−779 HU) and full width at half maximum (>128 HU) but lower relative volume of normal lung density (≦50%) than ordinary/severe cases In our critical cases, 8 patients with relative volume of normal lung density smaller than 40% received mechanical ventilation for supportive treatment, and 2 of them had died Conclusions A rapid, accurate severity assessment of COVID-19 pneumonia based on chest CT would be feasible and could provide help for making management decisions, especially for the critical cases
目的应用定性和/或定量胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）指标评估新冠肺炎肺炎的临床严重程度，并确定危重病例的CT特征材料与方法50例新冠肺炎肺炎患者，包括普通病例（A组，n=12）、重症病例（B组，n=15）、，和危重病例（C组，n=24）。使用Fisher精确检验、单向方差分析、Kruskal-Wallis H检验和受试者操作特征分析记录并比较胸部CT的定性和定量指标，固结的频率，疯狂的铺设模式，在更严重的病例中，空气支气管图增加。定性指标，包括全肺的总严重程度评分和疯狂铺贴和巩固的总评分，可以区分B组和C组（69%的敏感性、83%的特异性和73%的准确率），但B组和C组之间相似。定性和定量指标相结合可以区分这三组具有高灵敏度（B+C vs A，90%；C vs B，92%）、特异性（100%，87%）和准确性（92%，90%）。危重病例的严重程度总分（>；10）和疯狂铺路和巩固总分（<；4）高于普通病例，与普通/重症病例相比，平均肺密度（>；−779HU）和半高全宽（>：128HU）更高，但正常肺密度的相对体积（≤50%）更低。在我们的危重病例中，8名正常肺密度相对体积小于40%的患者接受了机械通气支持治疗，其中2人已经死亡，基于胸部CT对新冠肺炎肺炎进行准确的严重程度评估是可行的，并可为做出管理决策提供帮助，尤其是对危重病例

Abstract Traditional citation sources, such as Web of Science, index limited numbers of law journals. Consequently, although not designed for generating scholarship citation metrics, many law scholarship citation studies use law-specific databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis to gather citations. This article compares citation metrics derived from Web of Science and Westlaw to metrics derived from Google Scholar and HeinOnline’s citation tools. The study finds that HeinOnline and Westlaw generate higher metrics than Web of Science, and Google Scholar generates higher metrics than both. However, metrics from all four sources are highly correlated, so rankings generated from any may be very similar.
摘要传统的引文来源，如网络科学，索引有限的数量的法律期刊。因此，尽管不是为生成奖学金引文指标而设计的，但许多法律奖学金引文研究使用Westlaw或LexisNexis等特定法律数据库来收集引文。本文比较了来自Web of Science和Westlaw的引文指标与来自Google Scholar和HeinOnline引文工具的指标。研究发现，HeinOnline和Westlaw生成的指标高于Web of Science，Google Scholar生成的指标也高于两者。然而，来自所有四个来源的指标都是高度相关的，因此任何来源的排名都可能非常相似。

Abstract This article chronicles the author’s research into her family’s mineral rights, located in eastern Oklahoma. Tracing ownership back to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, she explores the circumstances and legal framework that led to her ancestors’ purchase of Creek property in 1910 and 1911. Collectively, the federal government’s allotment laws; various U.S. Supreme Court decisions; and even the author’s great-grandfather, who was a “boomer” journalist, created conditions that encouraged the loss of Creek land and sovereignty. Now exploitable with modern technology, and subject to Oklahoma’s oil and gas regulations, these familial mineral interests serve as just one example of the enduring legacy of the allotment era—a truly dark period of U.S. history.

Abstract Aliens: It is the subject of conspiracy theories and nightmares, the name of a blockbuster science fiction/horror movie franchise, and also how the de facto national library of the United States refers to “persons who are not citizens of the country in which they reside.” In 2016, the Library of Congress announced that it would reconsider the usage of “Aliens” and its related terms in the Library of Congress Subject Headings, following a student-led movement to change the pejorative term “Illegal Aliens.” Yet, three years on, these terms remain in the LCSH. Using the “Illegal Aliens” controversy as a case study, this article explores how the LCSH works, its role in research, and its vulnerabilities to bias, and offers proposals for how librarians can help improve the situation.

Abstract Accepting donations has been a fundamental aspect of librarianship for years. The world’s greatest collections, from Carnegie Libraries to the Library of Congress, have been built by the generosity of others. Yet, in the modern era, gifts-in-kind are offered more democratically and come with mixed quality. This has led to a shift in how libraries look at gifts-in-kind as often more burdensome than genuinely helpful. This is because gifts come with costs to the library that donors fail to consider, and some gifts are offered with ulterior motives. To navigate these burdens and still encourage a generous public, libraries must have a clear written gift policy to ease stresses and anxieties on both the donor and the institution. In the case of academic law libraries, they often don’t share the exact experience of other libraries; however, they face some of the same challenges and require a written gift policy all the same. Examining the gift policies of other law libraries can establish a framework of essential elements when establishing a new gift policy at an institution.
