Evaluating Continuing Resources: Perspectives and Methods from Science Librarians     

Kathryn Kennedy  Tara Tobin Cataldo  Valrie Davis  Sara Russell Gonzalez  Carrie Newsom 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(3):428-443

Five science librarians share their experiences with the evaluation of continuing resources at an academic university and discuss implications caused by the evaluation process. Four of the authors were new to collection evaluations at the time of the Serial Evaluation Project. These new librarians faced many challenges, both personally and professionally, in dealing with the cancellation process. Although the differences in approaches to collection analysis are discussed somewhat, they are not a focus of the article.  相似文献   

Net Neutrality and Libraries: Conflicts of Access     

Sara White 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(2):151-157

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit recently heard a suit brought against the Federal Communications Commission by Verizon concerning the 2010 Open Internet Rules. These rules were meant to protect consumers and ensure net neutrality by Internet service providers (ISPs). The Court struck down these rules, and now ISPs will have more power about how content is delivered to users. Librarians should be knowledgeable of net neutrality and this ruling, as it potentially affects abilities of users to exercise intellectual freedoms and could impact the library’s ability to provide services to its users.  相似文献   

Qualitative Teaching and Learning Needs Assessment for a Community of Academic Librarians     

Sara D. Miller 《图书馆管理杂志》2013,53(4):416-427

ASBTRACT

The Information Literacy Unit at Michigan State University Libraries is tasked with providing teaching and learning support to 70+ librarian colleagues at MSU. The unit was asked to conduct a needs assessment to determine supportive needs, attitudes toward teaching and learning, and to lay groundwork for expanding the ability of the unit to provide support through building trust and strengthening relationships with librarian colleagues. An interview-based method grounded in social sciences rather than an assessment with a management focus was employed to accomplish these diverse tasks, which yielded actionable insights.  相似文献   

Urban Youth's Perspectives on Flash Mobs     

J. Brian Houston  Hyunjin Seo  Leigh Anne Taylor Knight  Emily J. Kennedy  Joshua Hawthorne  Sara L. Trask 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(3):236-252

Flash mobs are new, emerging, and evolving social phenomena that have recently been associated with youth violence in the US cities. The current study explores how youth understand flash mobs through focus groups conducted in Kansas City, Missouri (a site of violent youth flash mobs). Results indicate that youth have varying familiarity with flash mobs and define them in different ways; that youth perceive youth boredom to be the most frequent cause of problems with flash mobs; that youth connect ongoing social disorder with the violence associated with flash mobs; and that while social media are facilitators of flash mobs, flash mobs have their roots in youth activities that have been going on for generations (e.g., hanging out in groups and cruising). Results illustrate the importance of conducting formative research with youth, particularly about emergent phenomena, when developing interventions and communication campaigns aimed at reducing youth violence.  相似文献

Desk Bound No More: Reference Services at a New Research University Library     

Sara Davidson  Susan Mikkelsen 《The Reference Librarian》2013,54(4):346-355

The authors discuss a newly established academic library at the University of California, Merced, as a model for reference service that foregoes a desk staffed with reference librarians. The library provides innovative, quality reference services for its users by using well-trained staff at a library services desk and employing new technologies for asynchronous communication and instruction.  相似文献
