    Determinants of Formal Giving in Turkey
    (2017) Çarkoğlu, Ali; Aytaç, Selim Erdem; Campbell, David A.
    This article shares the results of a recent study on individual giving to civil society organizations in Turkey. Using interview data collected from a random sample of 2,495 Turkish citizens in 2015, we estimate that about 12% to 13% of the Turkish population engage in giving, a relatively low figure compared to international giving. We find that being male, being educated, being satisfied with one’s income, being satisfied with one’s economic circumstances, being a rural resident, as well as one’s level of religiosity, civic activism, and institutional trust are all positively associated with giving in Turkey. Our findings provide a foundation for understanding philanthropic giving in Turkey and contribute to ongoing research about determinants of individual giving across countries.

    Exploring the Giving Practices in American Mosques: Why Do Muslims Give So Little to Their Mosques?
    (2017) Bagby, Ihsan
    This article represents the first effort to explore the giving practices of Muslims in American mosques. The research for this article was based on two studies: (1) a previously published study, “The American Mosque 2011,” which consisted of 524 telephone interviews of mosque leaders; and (2) a previously unpublished 2013 study of 3 mosques and the 2016 follow-up interviews with donors from the three mosques. The results show that mosque attendees give much less than their counterparts in churches. Interviews with donors in the three mosques were conducted in order to draw some preliminary conclusions as to why the giving rate in mosques is low. The interviews indicate that one of the underlying factors for the low rate of giving is that mosque attendees do not have a clear theology for giving to mosques and that a culture of giving to mosques does not exist among immigrant Muslims. It must be emphasized that this article is exploratory. Broader and more in-depth studies are needed to develop definitive conclusions about giving practices in mosques.

    External User Access Policies at Urban Research Universities
    (IUPUI University Library, 2011-03-24) Weare, William; Stevenson, Matthew
    In addition to serving their primary clientele of students, staff, and faculty, many large, urban university libraries also serve external users, such as members of the community, as well as students and faculty from other colleges and universities. How should policies be written to balance the services of the primary users with the needs of external users? The purpose of this study is to compare access services policies for external users at a select group of public urban research university libraries. We surveyed the published policies governing the use of the library by external users of IUPUI’s twelve official peer institutions, along with the University Library at IUPUI. We formulated a series of questions about physical access and use of the library; borrowing privileges and circulation policies; charges, fines, and fees; and other services available to primary users that may or may not be available to external users to search out on library websites and ask access librarians in phone interviews. Our research showed that all the surveyed libraries regard community service as important, though policies and philosophies regarding issues like borrowing privileges and computer access varied considerably.

    Faculty and Librarians in First-­Year Seminars: Partnerships in Pedagogy
    (IUPUI University Library, 2011-03-24) Huisman, Rhonda K.
    Many have discussed the benefits of librarians collaborating with faculty, but agree that “The campus library may historically be the centerpiece of institutional life on college and university campuses, but many first-year students think it is largely irrelevant to their lives” (Barefoot, 2006). As part of an instructional team in the First-Year Seminars (FYS), librarians have more contact with students beyond the traditional one-shot session or speed tour through the stacks, and relationships between librarians and faculty are crucial to their success.

    Fostering Muslim Civic Engagement through Faith-Based Community Organizing
    (2017) Fulton, Brad R.
    Muslims often encounter discriminatory practices similar to those experienced by other minority groups living in the United States. Such practices range from mass incarceration and anti-immigration efforts to racial and religious profiling. In response, a growing number of U.S. Muslim leaders are organizing their communities and collaborating with non-Muslims to address these issues through civic participation and political action. At the same time, several foundations throughout the country have begun asking how to promote civic engagement among U.S. Muslims. Although little is known about U.S. Muslim civic engagement and its outcomes, data from a national study indicate that faith-based community organizing is becoming a viable pathway for Muslim communities to (1) strengthen themselves internally by developing civic leaders and mobilizing everyday Muslims to address issues affecting their community and (2) strengthen their external ties by bridging religious and social differences and by promoting policies that also benefit non-Muslims.
