Entrepreneurship Initiatives in Academic Libraries

Abstract

Academic library spaces and services have widely broadened their missions away from providing only traditional research services and quiet spaces for study. Today, academic libraries are increasingly repurposing space and redesigning services to become the hub of innovation on university campuses. The literature explores entrepreneurship and academic libraries from many perspectives but with a common theme of the library as a leader in support of entrepreneurship initiatives on campus.     

我国返乡创业信息资源的“精英俘获”现象

在"大众创业,万众创新"政策引导下,返乡创业在我国逐渐成为新的创业态势。面向返乡创业的信息服务作为返乡创业配套服务体系的组成部分,对创业者起到重要的支持作用。通过在4个省份多地进行的田野调查发现,当前返乡创业信息资源在分配过程中存在"精英俘获"现象。针对此现象,文章提出返乡创业信息资源出现"精英俘获"现象的表征和影响因素分别是什么这两个研究问题。借助质性分析软件,对田野调查获取的原始数据进行分析,梳理了该现象的表征;通过对宏观环境和创业者主体两个层面的分析,总结了导致该现象产生的影响因素,最终获得了返乡创业信息资源"精英俘获"现象的产生机制。研究发现:"精英俘获"现象体现在返乡创业精英往往比普通创业者拥有更多的机会享受当地的返乡创业信息服务和资源,以及能参与更多的社会事务,并获得更广泛的影响力;其产生是我国当前基层信息资源建设和服务体系不完善的表现,并不完全依赖精英的个人主观意愿,有时也能带来一定的积极作用,但从长期看,这种现象会影响到政策的锚定,使真正有需求的大量普通创业者无法获得所需信息,最终对经济社会发展带来消极影响。     

高校图书馆“双创”服务中价值共创实现研究

创新创业主体用户对价值需求更强烈,更符合与高校图书馆形成价值共创的机理。在高校图书馆"双创"服务的价值网中,参与主体之间的关系多样,价值共创内容涉及基于服务主导和消费体验两种,经过价值创造和价值持续两个阶段,实现的路径可划为透明(价值营销)—接近(需求诊断)—对话(参与互动)—管理(风险管控)—反馈(解决问题)5个过程。     

Charting the Growth of Entrepreneurship: A Citation Analysis of FER Content, 1981–2008

Since 1981 the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC) has published cutting-edge entrepreneurship research. Using bibliometric techniques, this study examined the 3,395 items included in Frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research, the BCERC proceedings, between 1981 and 2008. The results show that entrepreneurship is a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary field with an increasingly international focus. The results offer an understanding of the demographic, institutional, and topical trends within the field. This research provides valuable insights into the structure of entrepreneurship that librarians can use to provide better assistance to their entrepreneurship scholars.

图书馆企业信息服务:大英图书馆的实践经验及启示

完善我国公共图书馆企业信息服务建设,可以充分发挥其商业支持和创新支撑的社会经济价值。通过文献调查法、网络调查法和案例分析法调研大英图书馆企业信息服务现状,发现大英图书馆设置了专门机构提供多样化的商业信息支持和丰富的咨询及培训项目,其工作开展具有重视度高、体系成熟,层层递进、各有偏重,各界合作、共建服务的特点。参考大英图书馆服务建设模式,我国公共图书馆应从建设中心、发展分馆,丰富资源、开发指南,转变角色、支持创新,细分用户、按需服务出发开展企业信息服务建设。     

Engagement: rhetoric’s tale from the field

‘Engagement’ has since the mid-1990s led to a series of initiatives and campus centers wherein many universities attempt strategies that are primarily administrative and programmatic. By contrast, our tale from the field points to an inherent and original connection between rhetoric and engagement; we propose that the fundamental principles of rhetoric and communication equip scholars to work effectively toward the goal of engaged research and teaching. Our stories from the University of Texas Intellectual Entrepreneurship Consortium and from the University of Pittsburgh’s Honors College indicate that there is significant value and power in taking to heart the lessons of the discipline for our own actions and lives as educators. Acting on what we know directs us toward such concepts as invention, discovery, argument, deliberation, advocacy, and intervention – the rhetorical instruments needed to change the academic culture and create environments for engaged learning.

Toward core competencies for entrepreneurship librarians

This article shares results of a survey of North American academic librarians supporting campus entrepreneurship to identify the job responsibilities and tasks, skills and experience they employ, and the impact of campus context on engagement with this community. A contextual approach draws on a variety of sources to identify competencies which were adapted and then ranked. Research services and outreach; market and industry research; innovation and problem solving are identified as key competencies. While the frameworks that guide business and liaison librarianship provide a starting point, the combination and application of these established skills sets the entrepreneurship librarian apart.
