This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sidney Verba''' (May 26, 1932 – March 4, 2019) was an American [[political scientist]], [[librarian]] and library administrator.<ref>((cite news |last=Mineo |first=Liz |date=March 7, 2019 |title=Sidney Verba dies at 86 |url=https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/03/political-scientist-sidney-verba-dead-at-86/ |work=[[Harvard Gazette]] |location=[[Cambridge, Massachusetts]] |access-date=March 8, 2019 ))</ref> His academic interests were mainly [[American politics (political science)|American]] and [[comparative politics]]. He was the [[Carl H. Pforzheimer]] University Professor at [[Harvard University]] and also served Harvard as the director of the [[Harvard University Library]] from 1984 to 2007.<ref>((Cite web|date=2021-03-03|title=Sidney Verba, 86|url=https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/03/sidney-verba-86/|access-date=2021-09-21|website=Harvard Gazette|language=en-US))</ref>

Verba was educated at [[Harvard College]] and [[Princeton University]], and served on the faculty of Princeton, [[Stanford University]], and the [[University of Chicago]], before returning to Harvard, where he would spend the rest of his career.<ref>Sidney Verba's Bio, Harvard University, https://scholar.harvard.edu/verba/biocv</ref> As he gave notice of his intention to retire in 2006, Verba observed: "Academics are the only people I can think of for whom this sentence makes sense: 'I'm hoping to get some time off so that I can get some work done.'"<ref name="hg1">Walker, Ruth. [http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/09.28/99-verba.html "Sidney Verba to retire; Appointed in 1984, Verba changed the face of the University Library,"] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080706171247/http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/09.28/99-verba.html |date=2008-07-06 )) ''Harvard Gazette.'' September 21, 2006.</ref>

==Early life and education==
Verba grew up in [[Brooklyn, New York]], where his family ran a "small mom-and-pop dry goods store and always worried about money."<ref>((cite journal |last=Verba |first=Sidney |title=A Life in Political Science |journal=Annual Review of Political Science |date=2011 |volume=14 |pages=i-xv |doi=10.1146/annurev-polisci-082409-094200 |s2cid=145201298 |access-date=July 31, 2022 |url=https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev-polisci-082409-094200 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200517083832/https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev-polisci-082409-094200 |archive-date=May 17, 2020|doi-access= |url-access=subscription ))</ref> After high school he attended [[Harvard College]], where he earned a degree in History and Literature. He began graduate school in the [[Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs]] at [[Princeton University]], intending to join the foreign service, but transferred to Princeton's politics department and earned a PhD.

==Early career==
After graduate school Verba stayed at Princeton as a research assistant and then assistant and associate professor. In 1964, Verba moved to [[Stanford University]], where he was a full professor for four years, and the [[University of Chicago]] for another four years.<ref>((cite web |last=Verba |first=Sidney |title=Curriculum Vitae |url=https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/verba/files/VerbaCV.pdf |access-date=July 31, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180315133319/https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/verba/files/VerbaCV.pdf |archive-date=March 15, 2018))</ref>

==Harvard faculty==
As a member of the Harvard faculty, Verba's contributions to the life of the scholarly community extended beyond the realm of his academic discipline or his administrative title.  For example, even though he "retired" in 2007, he continued to chair a University Committee on Calendar Reform which had begun its work in 2003. This committee was composed of students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty members drawn from across the University’s Schools and Faculties.  In 2008, the Committee's efforts reached fruition as Harvard President Drew Faust announced the adoption of a coordinated academic calendar that synchronizes the academic schedules of Harvard’s 13 Schools.  Verba's committee managed to preserve the traditional eight-day reading periods for undergraduates, one of the best features of the former calendar, while eliminating impediments to student cross-registration.  No less important, the Verba committee's work helped to align Harvard’s calendar with those of most colleges and universities in the U.S., making it easier for Harvard students to compete for internships, study-abroad experiences, and work opportunities during breaks and summer vacation.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080118132456/http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2008/02.07/99-calendar.html "Harvard announces coordinated academic calendar."] ''Harvard Gazette.'' January 15, 2008.</ref>

==Librarian==
Harvard President Derek Bok named Verba to be director of [[Harvard University Library]] in 1984; and  when news of Verba's retirement was received in Massachusetts Hall, Bok observed:
:"Professor Verba has led the Harvard libraries during one of their most transformative periods in University's history. ... When I appointed him more than 20 years ago, we were only beginning to realize what the revolution in information technology would mean. Sid's foresight has helped to preserve our valuable collections and opened Harvard's vast resources to scholars, researchers, and students throughout the world. I believe that generations of students will benefit from the doors that Sid has opened." -- Derek Bok.<ref>Bok, Derek. [http://www.president.harvard.edu/speeches/bok/060926_verba.html "Letter to the Harvard community about Sidney Verba's retirement] (2006).</ref>

When Verba retired from the post, he had served longer than anyone else who had held the title of director of the University Library; and not since [[Thaddeus Harris]], whose tenure (1831–1856) straddled the card catalog revolution of the 19th century, had anyone spent so long at the top of Harvard's libraries.<ref name="hg1"/>

Four specific areas in which Verba's contributions at Harvard have become the model for other academic and research libraries:
* HUL's "[[Harvard Depository]]" (HD) -- a "sophisticated way" of addressing the problem of needing to send books off campus.<ref>[http://hul.harvard.edu/hd/ "The Harvard Depository Mission,"] HUL/HD web.</ref>
**With a fully digitized collection, "Harvard users gain online access to the full text of out-of-copyright books stored at HD. For books still in copyright, Harvard users could gain the ability to search for small snippets of text and, possibly, to view tables of contents. In short, the Harvard student or faculty member would gain some of the advantages of browsing that remote storage of books at HD cannot currently provide.<ref name="palfrey1">[http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/palfrey/2004/12/14/harvard-library-materials-to-be-digitized-searchable-by-google/#respond ''John Palfrey'' blog], Harvard Law School, Berkman Center for Law & Society.</ref>
* HUL's [[Digital Initiative]]—influencing the ways libraries see themselves as responsible for creating and managing digital content.<ref>[http://hul.harvard.edu/ldi/ "Harvard University's Library Digital Initiative (LDI),"] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080218020939/http://hul.harvard.edu/ldi/ |date=2008-02-18 )) HUL/LDI web.</ref>
** "Plans call for the development of a unique [[union catalog]] linking the Google search engine with the online HOLLIS (Harvard Online Library Information System) catalog  (http://holliscatalog.harvard.edu), thus furthering retrieval of information on the location and availability at Harvard of works identified through a Google search. This would merge the search capacity of the Internet with the deep research collections at Harvard into one seamless resource-a development especially important for undergraduates who often see the library and the Internet as alternative and perhaps rival sources of information.<ref name="palfrey1"/>
* HUL's [[Open Collections Program]] -- something of a counterpart to the Google project, though less well known, it aims to digitize and make available university resources on a given topic.<ref>[http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/ "Harvard's Open Collections Program (OCP),"] HUL/OCP web.</ref>
** ''Women Working, 1800–1930.''<ref>[http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/ww/ ''Women Working, 1800–1930,''] HUL/OPC web.</ref>
** ''Immigration to the United States, 1789–1930.''<ref>[http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/immigration/ ''Immigration to the United States, 1789–1930,''] HUL/OPC web.</ref>
** ''Contagion: Historical Views of Diseases and Epidemic.''<ref>[http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/contagion/ ''Contagion: Historical Views of Diseases and Epidemic,''] HUL/OPC web.</ref>
* HUL's preservation staff, facilities, and program.<ref>[http://preserve.harvard.edu/ "Weissman Preservation Center (WPC),"] HUL/WPC web.</ref>
**"The possibility of a large-scale digitization of Harvard’s library books does not in any way diminish the University’s commitment to the collection and preservation of books as physical objects. The digital copy will not be a substitute for the books themselves. We will continue actively to acquire materials in all formats and we will continue to conserve them. In fact, as part of the pilot we are developing criteria for identifying books that are too fragile for digitizing and for selecting them out of the project."—Sidney Verba.<ref name="palfrey1"/>

===Harvard-Google digitization partnership===
Verba was ultimately responsible for Harvard's participation in the [[Google Books Library Project]],<ref>Kamarck, Elaine. [http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/03/17/an_endless_shelf_for_library_books/ "An endless shelf for library books,"] ''Boston Globe.'' March 17, 2006.</ref> which involves a series of agreements between Google and major international libraries through which a  collection of its public domain books will be scanned in their entirety and made available for free to the public online.<ref>[https://books.google.com/googlebooks/partners.html Harvard + Google digitization project partnership]</ref> Verba's role encompassed developing digitization protocols, addressing logistical and operations issues, and administering the project. The more difficult part of his job required moderating the institutional debate about anticipated consequences inherent in conventional content-vs.-collection strategies; and sometimes he took on the role of public spokesman.<ref>Verba, Sidney. [http://hul.harvard.edu/hgproject/verba.html "Harvard-Google Project: "Libraries, Books, Equality—and Google,"] "HUL web.</ref>

===Sidney Verba Endowment Fund===
Friends and colleagues of Sidney Verba established a $2.5 million endowment fund in his honor. The Fund benefits the Harvard University Library, which provides University-wide services, including digital acquisitions and collections, information technology, high-density storage, and preservation. Under the terms creating the fund, Verba himself was given the freedom to designate the purpose of the new endowment.<ref>[http://hul.harvard.edu/news/2007_0329.html "Library Visiting Committee Announces $2.5 Million Endowment Fund to Honor Sidney Verba; the new Sidney Verba Library Fund will benefit programs of the Harvard University Library,"] HUL news archive (2007).</ref>

==Political scientist==
The central focus of Verba's work as a political scientist can be summed up in one word -- "participation."  Expanding the subject somewhat, that topic might be elaborated to "the issues of political participation by different groups." The great framing question of his work has been, "Whose voice is heard by the government?"  Verba himself argued that issues having to do political participation have become central in America's political discourse today;<ref name="hg1" /> but he attributes his initial interest in the subject to the prescient encouragement of his mentor, Professor [[Gabriel Almond]] at [[Princeton University]].<ref name="hg1" /> Verba earned his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1959;<ref name="GSAS1">[http://www.gsas.harvard.edu/programs_of_study/government-faculty_p-z.php Verba, GSAS faculty bio] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080430040624/http://www.gsas.harvard.edu/programs_of_study/government-faculty_p-z.php |date=2008-04-30 )), Harvard/GSAS web.</ref> and in 1963, he was named as a co-author with Almond in ''[[The Civic Culture|The Civic Culture: Political Attitudes and Democracy in Five Nations]].'' It popularized the idea of a [[political culture]]&nbsp;– a concept that includes national character and how people choose to govern themselves&nbsp;– as a fundamental aspect of society.  Sidney Verba built on the theory of civic culture that was developed in this book with many of his students and collaborators, including [[Kay Lehman Schlozman]] and [[Henry E. Brady]], over the following half century.

In retirement, he continued to explore his longtime interest in "the citizen voice" with a new study of interest groups in the United States, asking whom they represent—ethnic groups, women, trade associations, professions.  His research goal was to produce "a kind of statistical model of what the interest groups in the U.S. look like."<ref name="hg1"/>
