Traditionally, librarians take a role in connecting researchers with resources. With the advent of the digital age, the nature of research is expanding; there are more, and different, sources of data, ways of collecting data, and methods of analyzing and interacting with data. If librarians are to remain relevant and able to serve their patrons, then they must engage in research as guides or even as partners in the research process. To do this, it is critical that librarians gain an understanding of the nature of research in the digital age and of the frameworks, methodologies, and issues related to digital research. The purpose of this article is to contribute to literature on digital research as it relates to librarianship.  相似文献   

Measuring children’s environmental attitudes and values in northwest Mexico: validating a modified version of measures to test the Model of Ecological Values (2-MEV)

This paper describes the validation process of measuring children’s attitudes and values toward the environment within a Mexican sample. We applied the Model of Ecological Values (2-MEV), which has been shown to be valid and reliable in 20 countries, including one Spanish speaking culture. Items were initially modified to fit the regional dialect, culture, and bioregional context of our Mexican population. In Stage 1, we applied the scale to quantify the environmental attitudinal and value impacts of an environmental service learning program with 22 children in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Program effects were evaluated using a pre-test/post-test design quantifying preservation and utilization views of the environment. Based upon further cultural insights and the results from Stage 1, in Stage 2, we modified two more items to reflect the culture of philanthropy and associational life in Mexico. To test the structure of this finalized instrument, we applied the model in Stage 2 with a group of 335 children. We successfully extracted the already known factor structure covering the two higher order values of preservation and utilization. In general, the underlying primary attitudes were also confirmed, with the exception of two neighboring ones: Care with Resources and Intent of Support, which merged into one.  相似文献   

东方外交史研究及其现实意义     

魏楚雄 《上海师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2022,51(1):29-36

研究东方外交史极为重要,因为西方始终误解或忽略东方,而这可以成为东西方冲突的根源.20世纪发生在亚洲的三场战争以及现今中美之间的抗衡都证实了这一点.对中国、亚洲的研究从来就被各种西方观点所主导,它们经常误解、误释中国或亚洲之价值观和外交方式,甚至否认其存在和独特性.实际上,虽然亚洲国家各有独自的文化、传统和外交,但共享某些与西方观念决然不同的理念.东方智慧以一种整体的、真正的全球观来看待国际关系,而西方一神教之信仰持有西方中心观,其本质以二元论为特点.中国人的和谐理念以及坚信道德力量的信念,是与中华民族以及世界大一统之理念密切相连的.这种深深根植在中国知识政治精英心中的理念和信念,在西方政治哲学中是缺失的,所以它们可以是对西方强权政治的补充或取代.为此,提倡对东方文化与东方外交进行深入彻底的研究和了解,以促进东西方之间的沟通、合作与和谐.  相似文献
