Breaking Down Barriers for Student Parents and Caregivers with Family-Friendly Library Spaces     

Anne Cooper Moore  Rebecca Croxton  Lindsey Sprague 《图书馆管理杂志》2020,60(3):215-234

Abstract

In 2016, J. Murrey Atkins Library at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte opened a reservable study room where student parents and caregivers can study with their children on campus. In 2018, the library opened a second family-friendly study room to meet the needs of our growing campus community. To inform the room design, the library conducted a mixed methods research study that included a user survey, an examination of room reservation and usage data, and one-on-one user interviews. This paper focuses on the user-centered design process used to inform the development of the second, family-friendly, library study room.  相似文献   

Individual and cultural factors in teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion: A meta-analysis     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2020

The success of inclusive education is dependent upon classroom teachers implementing adaptations for children with disabilities. Given that willingness to make such adaptations is influenced by teacher attitudes, the current study examined teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education through a meta-analysis of 64 samples that were found via a systematic literature search. The results indicated that teachers hold a positive attitude towards inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream schools and that these attitudes are moderated by an interplay of cultural and demographical factors. The findings offer a renewed basis for intervention research into improving educational opportunities for children around the world.  相似文献   

Diversity Literary Awards: A Tool for Assessing an Academic Library’s Collection     

Laurel Kristick 《资料收集管理》2020,45(2):151-161

Abstract

Diversity literary awards and other sources were used to create a list of high-quality titles written by and about underrepresented groups. This list was used to assess the diversity and inclusiveness of the library collections of a land-grant university in the Pacific Northwest and compare it to peer institutions. Gaps in the collection and acquisition processes were identified and will be used to improve the processes to increase the number of diverse titles added to the library’s collections.  相似文献   

Developing the evidence base for UK film strategy: the research process at the UK Film Council     

David Steele 《Cultural Trends》2004,13(4):5-21

The UK Film Council established a Research and Statistics Unit in order to gather data relating to film to inform the development of UK Film Council strategy and to provide an information service to the industry, government, the arts and cultural sector and the wider research community. The Research and Statistics Unit draws data from both official and unofficial sources and commissions its own special-purpose studies to gather information relevant to the strategic objectives of the Council. Key tasks are the measurement of the size of the market for film and the various elements of the film value chain, the performance of films supported by the UK Film Council and the performance of UK films in general. Special-purpose research projects currently include a detailed survey of the film production workforce, a study of the economic impact of the UK screen industries and studies of the social impact of local cinemas and the experience of Black- and Minority-led film production companies. A range of industry and official partners are collaborating in these studies. The Research and Statistics Unit also provides statistical and policy analysis relating to the wider policy environment of UK film, including issues such as the future of film tax incentives. This analysis has been developed within the HM Treasury ‘Green Book’ framework with particular reference to understanding market failure in relation to film. Central to the market failure argument is the cultural value of film in both its qualitative and its quantitative aspects. UK Film Council research is placed in the context of the literature on hedonic pricing and contingent valuation. The industrial challenges of increasing cultural value are discussed. Finally, consideration is given to the potential of film to contribute directly to ‘public value’.  相似文献   

Selection models in the music industry: How a prior independent experience may affect chart success     

Andrea Ordanini 《Journal of Cultural Economics》2006,30(3):183-200

The is article analyses the two main approaches for artists’ selection in the recording industry: the direct model in which large major companies directly choose new artists from the supply market, and the agency model in which small independent labels realise the first choice and, subsequently, large organisations pick their new artists among those pre-selected by independents.An empirical analysis of chart sales reveals that artists selected through the agency model exhibit a longer presence on the chart due to repeated successes, while they are slower to reach heavy success once they have entered the chart. Conversely, the direct model leads to artists with a faster path to a strong success, but the same artists have a shorter presence on the chart due to the sporadic nature of their success. The profile of artists selected through these two models is also found to be different: big international soloist stars are more frequently selected through the direct model, while national bands are more frequently selected through the agency model.The insights suggest important implications for management in the cultural industries and especially in the recording industry.

首都体育学院竞技体校学生文化课学习动机及管理对策的研究     

佟立纯  李万隆  孙海峰  赵萍  王宝山 《首都体育学院学报》2006,18(5):77-79

本文对首都体育学院竞技体校学生文化课学习动机进行调查研究，并从动机状况、影响动机的内外因素、学生在文化课学习中遇到的主要问题、学生与教师对学校教学管理的意见以及学生对自身发展的设想等几个方面进行深入地分析。研究发现首都体育学院竞技体校学生文化课学习动机总体上偏低，但与业余体校学生并无显著差异；促使学生产生文化课学习动机的第一位需要是将来可以考上好的大学；影响竞技体校学生文化课学习动机的首要外在因素是学习风气；学生在文化课学习中遇到的主要问题是基础太差。本文同时根据研究中发现的问题提出了相应的管理对策。  相似文献
