Proclaiming Library Worth in a Program Prioritization Process at a Mid-Sized Public University

Abstract

In an economic climate when colleges can no longer presume that legislators see institutions of higher learning as tacit public goods, institutions around the country are facing budget cuts. This article presents a case study of the experience of a mid-sized public state university and its Library in a budget crisis undergoing a university-wide program prioritization process. The authors review the process of writing three reports on the Library’s value, along with the approach to engaging staff in the process including a retreat. This article raises questions about what every library should consider assessing and provide tools for libraries navigating similar terrain.     

基于知识元的学术论文内容创新性智能化评价研究

[目的/意义] 创新性是对学术论文质量最基本的要求，是学术论文的灵魂，是学术论文评价的核心。知识元是学术论文基本组成单元。基于知识元理论和机器学习相关理论与算法，从学术论文内容层面研究计算机如何智能化地进行创新性评价及其实现过程与方法。[方法/过程] 首先，构建学术论文的研究问题、理论、方法、结论4个知识元本体，接着提出基于知识元的学术论文创新性判断模型。其次，根据学术论文研究特点，构建理论与方法机器分类模型及知识元的抽取规则与抽取方法，建立规则库和知识语料库。最后，基于语义相似度计算方法，根据判断规则和相关权重对学术论文4个维度的创新性进行评分。[结果/结论] 基于知识元抽取的学术论文创新性评分系统的实证结果表明，该智能化评价方法具有一定的可行性，可为学术论文内容创新性智能化评价系统的最终实现提供方法借鉴。

Instructional design for single information literacy sessions

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe how the Understanding by Design instructional design framework can be applied to design high-quality single-session information literacy instruction. The author describes the Understanding by Design process in detail, noting modifications for single instructional session design with examples from the application of this instructional design process to design co-curricular instruction sessions for undergraduates.     

博物馆通过协同发展成功应对挑战

关于博物馆通过协同发展应对挑战的本项研究,将以当前博物馆面对的全球化趋势为切入点,并对“全球博物馆社区”这个概念进行解释。在此基础上,提出支持博物馆协同发展的7P营销策略:Promotion(推广),People(人),Product(产品),Process(过程),Politics(政治),Place(地方),Price & Accessibility(价格与可行性)。     

基于创新扩散理论的学术论文影响力广度研究

[目的/意义]采用被引次数衡量学术论文影响力存在诸多弊端。本文认为学术论文影响力包括其传播的深度、速度和广度3个方面，熵可用于衡量学术论文影响力传播的广度。[方法/过程]选择1901-2017年生物医学领域的诺贝尔奖论文作为最具影响力的论文纳入实验组，并根据1：1配对原则设立对照组，比较两组论文发表后5年内其施引文献所属学科数量、熵以及熵与被引次数的相关性。[结果/结论]实验组中65%以上的论文施引文献学科数量高于对照组；实验组熵的均值介于0.552-0.772，对照组介于0.251-0.481，有显著性差异（P<0.05）；两组论文的被引次数与熵的相关性较弱，均小于0.3。结果表明：①70%以上的高影响力论文在发表早期能够影响较多的学科；②采用熵对论文影响力广度进行识别具有可行性。     

Representation in the Collection: Assessing Coverage of LGBTQ Content in an Academic Library Collection

Abstract

Academic library collections have been built and shaped by a focus on dominant voices and perspectives. In order for collections to reflect the value librarianship places on diversity as well as represent multiple perspectives and serve users of diverse backgrounds and identities, collections need to be assessed for coverage of content related to diversity. This article discusses the challenges inherent in engaging in such an assessment, discusses collection assessment methods, and describes an analysis performed on the Penn State University Libraries collections focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer content.     

Meeting Information Needs through Global Partnerships: A Roadmap to Becoming a Global Health Sciences Library

Abstract

Supporting global health priorities through the development of robust health science librarianship partnerships is of significant importance. Increased demand for synthesizing evidence-based information, collating quality resources, and increasing research productivity to improve human health requires integration of library and information science skills and expertise. The Health Sciences Library (HSL) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), exists to be an indispensable partner in health information and knowledge, teaching and learning, and research. As global efforts at UNC expanded, the HSL sought to ensure that our global engagement strategy and integration were aligned with campus priorities and partner needs. The HSL created a global research partnership plan: identify resources that improve efficiency, increase access to information, build in-country capacity and expertise—all while strengthening collaborations across multiple countries. Creating a meaningful and sustainable engagement strategy was central to envisioning our path forward and can be used as a framework for consideration by librarians in similar settings.     

中外情报学论文创新性特征研究

[目的/意义] 综合运用定性与定量相结合的方法对近年中外情报学论文的创新性进行分析和对比，揭示情报学领域研究的创新性特征，发现领域学术论文中创新句内部的知识关系，进行更细粒度的论文创新性分析，为研究领域创新点深层次利用提供条件，同时丰富科技论文创新性监测的途径，促进科学研究创新。[方法/过程] 从句子级创新性识别出发，选取中英文各两种情报学期刊作为样本，采用信息抽取和机器学习的方法，将创新句的抽取从现有的摘要扩展到全文，充分利用句子结构和句法特征识别领域创新内容，探讨近年中外情报学论文在创新对象、主题、类别等方面的特征，并做对比分析，最后通过对自动分类的论文集合进行定性的内容分析，总结归纳出中外情报学论文创新的表达范式。[结果/结论] 从创新的表达来看，中外情报学论文创新句的分布情况基本一致，英文期刊论文创新的表达更丰富。从创新性特征来看，英文情报学期刊论文创新主题较集中，而中文主题多样和分散；具体方法的创新是近年情报学领域的创新热点，而在研究方法上创新不足；中英文情报学期刊论文的创新性特点都反映了应用研究、实证研究的成果较多，而理论创新推动缓慢的趋势。     

数据驱动范式下政府开放数据状态及其主体行为状态的关系挖掘

[目的/意义] 在数据驱动范式情境下，揭示政府门户网站开放数据状态及其主体行为状态之间的内部关联，推动政府数据开放效果和进程。[方法/过程] 采用爬虫方法抓取上海市政府数据门户网站中各开放数据集，在对各数据集指标进行相关分析的基础上，采用Stepwise探索其回归关系，筛选得出关联度较高的变量；进一步对关系显著的变量进行PLS回归检验，得出政府开放数据状态与其主体行为状态的内部关联。[结果/结论] 在政府数据开放进程中，政府部门的主体行为比数据自身的客体特征对公众主体行为的影响更大。在影响公众评分的因素中，政府开放保密级别的影响因子最大，且具有显著负向影响作用；政府更新频率、政府首次开放时间、数据格式可机读性对公众评分具有显著正向影响作用。
