Toward a Sustainable Method for Core Journal Lists: A Test Case Using Journals in Social Work     

Joseph Aubele  Carol Perruso 《期刊图书馆员》2017,73(2):89-106

Determining the core journals in a discipline serves an important role for both academic librarians and departmental faculty. In addition to helping librarians build or weed journal collections, especially in difficult budget years, core lists help departments seeking accreditation, committees evaluating a candidate’s scholarship for tenure and promotion, and faculty choosing publications for their research. They also assist faculty guiding student research in the discipline. However, because of the inexorable changes that have occurred, and will continue to occur, in scholarly communication, no such list can be considered immutable. The purpose of this study is to identify a method by which individual librarians and/or libraries can create a list of journals considered important to a discipline, one that accurately reflects the state of scholarly communication in a field as it relates to the currency and quality of journal literature, and that is sustainable over time. More specifically, our purpose is twofold. First, to develop a sustainable method for defining the universe of potential core titles; and, second, to identify the core titles within that universe. As the result of discussions on this issue with a social work faculty member, the authors used social work journals for developing a methodology that may be applied to other disciplines.  相似文献

Academic Subject Specialist and Special Librarians: Exploring a Shared Interest in Developing Information Literacy Skills     

Wendy Jo Girven 《图书馆管理杂志》2017,57(8):911-921

Academic librarians who work as subject specialists within a discipline and special librarians have a shared interest in information literacy instruction, despite differences in their library settings and culture. Collaboration between these parties would decrease the gap between information literacy skills developed in the classroom and in the workplace. Practical issues relating to collaboration, as well as a reviewed case study engage the dialogue surrounding this kind of partnership.  相似文献

[目的/意义] 针对目前高校图书馆社会服务过程中存在的问题,通过考察一个地区的高校图书馆社会服务实践,提出对策建议,为我国高校图书馆服务社会提供决策依据和参考。[方法/过程] 以南京地区25所本科高校图书馆为研究对象,通过访谈法与网络调查法等实证研究方法调查分析其社会服务内容以及在社会服务过程中存在的一些问题。[结果/结论] 调查结果显示,南京地区高校图书馆社会服务主要对象为高校用户和区域内其他科研单位,呈现出明显的倾向性与针对性;在服务社会的过程中也存在着资源缺乏、非竞争性资源和服务的受惠面过于狭窄等局限。为今后高校图书馆更好地开展社会服务提供了事实依据。  相似文献   

Foundations of Digital Universities     

Vincenzo Maltese  Fausto Giunchiglia 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2017,55(1):26-50

Universities need to maintain data about various resources. They include intellectual creations that are the focus of (Digital) Libraries, but also courses, research projects, and people. Data about intellectual creations are maintained in institutional repositories, while data about courses, research projects, and people reside in various databases designed to support specific vertical applications. We propose a uniform treatment of such resources leading to Digital Universities, i.e., a set of key resources, methodologies, and tools appropriately organized to effectively support universities' users. This requires new methodologies, data models, authority control mechanisms, and system infrastructures that are able to support a broader range of services.  相似文献   

The Out Loud Assignment: Articulating Library Contributions to First-year Student Success     

Elizabeth L. Black  Sarah Anne Murphy 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2017,43(5):409-416

As more and more libraries consider GPA and year-to-year retention as relevant and meaningful measures of interest, it is important to consider whether these measures are locally appropriate. Several limitations of broadly applying GPA and first-year retention as measures of student success were recently discovered while completing a large exploratory research project. The project assessed the impact of a library assignment offered to students during their first term on campus at a large public research university. Findings revealed the assignment had a greater impact on regional campus students in contrast to the larger central campus, where changes in admission requirements has created an increasingly high-performing cohort of first-year students. Other indicators which may better locally articulate library contributions to student success are needed.  相似文献   

Predicting the Role of Library Bookshelves in 2025     

Coen Wilders 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2017,43(5):384-391

University libraries are questioning the added value of open shelves with books. As scientific publications are increasingly available in electronic format, which role do bookshelves have in the future library space? The Utrecht University Library case study invites librarians to fundamentally rethink how they could strengthen the function of open shelves in their library. Based on acquisition and user data, and on interviews with publishers and users, this article suggests that in 2025 bookshelves could play an important role in providing access to those publications which are preferred by users in paper format. However, bookshelves should no longer focus solely on paper publications, but on digital publications too, as most library collections increasingly become hybrid. Moreover, libraries should also think of ways to enhance the inspiring role of bookshelves. Then, the open shelves could have added value within the library space of the future, providing access to a hybrid collection and an inspiring place to study.  相似文献
