Proclaiming Library Worth in a Program Prioritization Process at a Mid-Sized Public University

Abstract

In an economic climate when colleges can no longer presume that legislators see institutions of higher learning as tacit public goods, institutions around the country are facing budget cuts. This article presents a case study of the experience of a mid-sized public state university and its Library in a budget crisis undergoing a university-wide program prioritization process. The authors review the process of writing three reports on the Library’s value, along with the approach to engaging staff in the process including a retreat. This article raises questions about what every library should consider assessing and provide tools for libraries navigating similar terrain.  相似文献   

A meta-cognitive approach to doping in sports: The effects of thought validation on attitudes related to doping

ABSTRACT

To better understand doping-related attitude change, it is important to consider not only the amount of thinking (i.e., elaboration) done by message recipients, but also the favourability of their thoughts in response to the proposal, as well as the perceived validity in their thoughts. The main goal of the present study was to analyse the effects of a meta-cognitive process (i.e., thought validation) on attitudes related to doping. Thus, we randomly assigned participants to read a message either against or in favour of legalising several doping behaviours. Participants listed their thoughts regarding the proposal and indicated the perceived validity in their thoughts, then reported their attitudes. As hypothesised, the message against legalisation elicited more unfavourable thoughts and attitudes than the message in favour of legalisation. Most relevantly, the effects of the message direction on attitudes were greater for participants with higher (vs. lower) levels of thought validity. Furthermore, consistent with the thought validation process, results revealed that thought favourability was a better predictor of attitudes for participants with higher (vs. lower) perceived thought validity, indicating that perceiving one’s thoughts as valid plays an important role in persuasion. These findings provide novel insights for research and interventions regarding doping in sports.  相似文献   

Learner Characteristics that Influence the Treatment Effectiveness of Early Literacy Interventions: A Meta‐Analytic Review     

J. Ron Nelson  Gregory J. Benner  Jorge Gonzalez 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2003,18(4):255-267

The purpose of this article was to systematically review the available research on learner characteristics that influence the treatment effectiveness of early literacy interventions. Meta‐analytic procedures were applied to a total of 30 studies that met the inclusionary and exclusionary criteria. Mean average effect sizes were computed for seven primary learner characteristic categories: (1) rapid naming, (2) alphabetic principle, (3) phonological awareness, (4) problem behavior, (5) memory, (6) IQ, and (7) demographic. The primary learner characteristics that influenced the treatment responsiveness of early literacy interventions were, in order of magnitude, rapid naming, problem behavior, phonological awareness, alphabetic principle, memory, IQ, and demographics. With the exception of the demographic category, the obtained effect sizes for the primary learner characteristics were moderately large. The demographic primary learner characteristic (i.e., disability, ethnicity, grade‐level status) of children was not statistically (p < 0.05) distinct from zero. The findings, limitations, and future research needs are discussed.  相似文献

关于加强高校教师队伍建设的思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

宋栋 《天水师范学院学报》2001,21(6):75-77

国家现代化建设的各类专门人才主要通过高等学校培养,高校教师是完成这一任务的主体,既要传授知识,又要创新知识.根据高校教师的基本工作任务,其本身应具备的素质为高尚完善的师德;广博精深的业务素质;积极健康的身心素质;掌握运用教育规律;具备创新意识和创新能力.如何提高这些教师自身素质,加强师资队伍建设,应以师德建设为突破口;以党的建设为龙头;加强常规建设;以青年教师队伍建设为重点.只有这样,才能建设一支结构优化、素质良好、富有活力、水平较高的教师队伍.  相似文献   

反腐败的最根本途径：发扬民主,以民制权     

梁栋 《黔东南民族师专学报》2005,23(5):9-11

反腐败的本质问题是民主建设问题,要根治腐败必须下大力气加强民主政治建设,健全反腐败的民主机制,即反腐败一要靠民主,以社会制约权力,增强反腐败的基础和力量;二要讲民主,以权利制约权力,保证反腐败的效率和质量.这既是历史发展的必然趋势,也是反腐败的现实需要.  相似文献
