I am currently serving on a task force whose goal is to encourage the use of www.MERLOT.org as a digital repository of links to online resources targeted to college and university populations. A question that keeps arising is if professors develop online resources and have the posted and reviewed on a site like MERLOT will it carry as much weight as having the same information published in an refereed journal? At Western we have no formal policy about Recognition of Digital Scholarship (RDS). Some people seem to support it some do not.


Do any of your universities have a policy regarding this issue? Any info you can provide would be gratefully accepted.

I am considering using the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire (Brown, =
Muhlenkamp, Fox, & Osborn, 1983) in a study examining the effects of =
stress on health in a college student population. I am wondering if =
anyone out there has used this particular measure, and would inform me of =
their thoughts, opinions, successes with it. Also, if there are any other =
BRIEF measures of health behaviors that anyone has had success with, =
please let me know. =20


Please respond directly to me at amyanne.wuthrich-reggio@hsc.utah.edu. =20
