Redefining roles and responsibilities: Implementing a triage reference model at a single service point     

Michael LaMagna  Sarah Hartman-Caverly  Lori Marchetti 《Journal Of Access Services》2016,13(2):53-65

ABSTRACT

As academic institutions continue to renovate and remodel existing libraries to include colocated services, it is important to understand how this new environment requires the redefining of traditional library roles and responsibilities. This case study examines how Delaware County Community College redefined reference and research service by transitioning to a triage reference model. This includes how information desk staff and student workers at a single service point determine when to refer users to librarians and how this model has evolved based on specific situations and experiences.  相似文献   

The Impact of Information Technology on Public Libraries     

Lori Bowen Ayre 《Public Library Quarterly》2016,35(4):355-361

In the real world of library service, librarians have to keep up with change by answering specific questions. They need training because technology, the character of populations, and local economics all are changing. Recognizing that technology is a catalyst of change, the author shows how librarians can and do work to help libraries harness the power of technology to navigate the changing reading and information needs of their communities. This article examines useful behaviors as librarians approach their work tasks, relying on new technology to help meet customers’ reading and information needs.  相似文献   

Relations Among Maternal Literacy Beliefs, Home Literacy Practices, and the Emergent Literacy Skills of Preschoolers With Specific Language Impairment   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Lori E. Skibbe  Laura M. Justice  Tricia A. Zucker  Anita S. McGinty 《Early education and development》2008,19(1):68-88

Self-reported maternal literacy beliefs and home literacy practices were compared for families of children with typicially developing language skills (TL, n = 52) and specific language impairment (SLI, n = 56). Additionally, the present work examined whether maternal beliefs and practices predicted children's print-related knowledge. Mothers filled out 2 questionnaires asking about their literacy beliefs and practices while children's print-related knowledge was assessed directly. Results indicated that mothers of children with SLI held somewhat less positive beliefs about literacy and reported engaging in fewer literacy practices compared to mothers of children with TL. For the entire sample, maternal literacy practices and beliefs predicted children's print-related knowledge, although much of this association was accounted for by maternal education. Subgroup analyses focused specifically on children with SLI showed there to be no relation between maternal literacy beliefs and practices and children's print-related knowledge. The present findings suggest that the home literacy experiences of children with SLI, and the way that these experiences impact print-related knowledge, may differ in important ways from typical peers.  相似文献

基于深度Q网络的水面无人艇路径规划算法     

随博文  黄志坚  姜宝祥  郑欢  温家一 《上海海事大学学报》2020,41(3):1-5

为实现水面无人艇(unmanned surface vessel, USV)在未知环境下的自主避障航行,提出一种基于深度Q网络的USV避障路径规划算法。该算法将深度学习应用到Q学习算法中,利用深度神经网络估计Q函数,有效解决传统Q学习算法在复杂水域环境的路径规划中容易产生维数灾难的问题。通过训练模型可有效地建立感知(输入)与决策(输出)之间的映射关系。依据此映射关系,USV在每个决策周期选择Q值最大的动作执行,从而能够成功避开障碍物并规划出最优路线。仿真结果表明,在迭代训练8 000次时,平均损失函数能够较好地收敛,这证明USV有效学习到了如何避开障碍物并规划出最优路线。该方法是一种不依赖模型的端到端路径规划算法。  相似文献   

Negotiation,embeddedness, and non-threatening learning environments as themes of science and language convergence for English language learners     

Yuliya Ardasheva  Lori Norton-Meier 《Studies in Science Education》2013,49(2):201-249

In this review, we explore the notion of teaching science to English language learners (ELLs) as a balancing act between simultaneously focusing on language and content development, on the one hand, and between structuring instruction and focusing on student learning processes, on the other hand. This exploration is conducted through the lens of a theoretical framework embedded in the Science Writing Heuristic approach, an approach exemplifying immersive orientation to argument-based inquiry. Three learning processes (learning through the language of science, learning about the language of science and living the language of science) and three classroom structures (collective zone of proximal development, symmetric power and trust relationships and teacher as decision-maker) are explored in relation to learning theories and empirical findings from second language acquisition and science, multicultural and teacher education bodies of work. Three themes – negotiation, embeddedness and non-threatening learning environments – to inform ELL science education emerged from the review.  相似文献   

Speed-bumps on the on-ramp to the information highway: Going online at average U     

Lori E. Amy 《The Internet and Higher Education》1998,1(4):291-303

Many universities are still struggling to put a technology infrastructure in place. This article is particularly concerned with the means by which English teachers in institutions with technology infrastructures in their infancy can help students develop literacy skills for a digital culture. While our universities are building technology infrastructures, we can and should forge cross-departmental collaborations which allow us to incorporate low-end technology uses during the interim phase of technology development. Our interim technology initiatives should in turn become part of a long-term technology planning that builds upon a collaborative exchange between faculty and administration.  相似文献

Open Data: What It Is and Why You Should Care     

Lori Bowen Ayre  Jim Craner 《Public Library Quarterly》2017,36(2):173-184

Open data is information that is provided by public entities to be accessed and reused. Publishing open data is an excellent way to improve an organization’s transparency and provide insight into the value of the organization. Libraries are uniquely positioned to assist their patrons in the use of open data by making them aware of it and helping them access and use it. This article provides a short history of open data and explores ways that library trailblazers are already using open data as well as contributing open data for others to use. Getting started with open data involves identifying key open data resources such as data.gov, identifying library information that would be beneficial to publish, and creating programs that provide digital literacy training and create opportunities for patrons to engage with open data in new and creative ways.  相似文献
