Rethinking the Workforce and Workplace

Faced with diminishing staffs and budgets, and the difficulty of recruiting skilled serialists, librarians are exploring alternative methods for getting the job done. Several members of the National Library of Medicine staff describe their experiences with Flexiplace, a program that allows employees to do most of their work from home with small purchase orders or contracts for services. Flexiplace is described, and the successes and limitations of working with contracts for special language cataloging, binding preparation, check-in, and other tasks are discussed.

比利时电子身份管理制度评鉴

提出为了实现虚拟社会真实身份管理,签发电子身份标识（electronic identity,EID）已成为当前许多国家发展计划中的普遍实践。认为EID的发行有助于实现网络虚拟身份的有效识别,为政府加强互联网活动综合管控提供有效路径,但也面临管理涉及面广、综合性强等困境。比利时政府在EID实践领域担任先锋角色,形成了完善的电子身份管理机制,因此,考查比利时电子身份管理制度将为我国推行和实践电子身份制度提供借鉴作用。

基于QFD的图书馆服务质量评估方法研究

质量功能展开（QFD）是一种通过分析顾客需求并将其转化为产品设计要求的结构化产品开发方法。提出基于QFD的图书馆服务质量评估方法,建立图书馆服务质量评估的质量屋模型,通过多阶段的QFD模型来实现评估过程,并通过实例验证方法的可行性。     

An Examination of Coursera as an Information Environment: Does Coursera Fulfill its Mission to Provide Open Education to All?

In terms of international education, the concept of online education seems to be a growing trend. Edxonline.org, Minervaproject.com, and Udacity.com are all new massive online open courses (MOOCs)—education websites similar to Coursera offering students the ability to receive the best education from elite universities entirely online. The most tantalizing promise of a company like Coursera is the role it might play in improving education for the world's have-nots: high school dropouts, the global poor, and those less able to self-teach.     

香港中文大学图书馆电子资源管理的挑战与对策

电子资源管理是现今高校图书馆所面对的极具挑战性工作,香港中文大学的图书馆系统亦不例外。该馆的电子资源数量在2006-2007年度较上年增长了两倍。如何运用现有的人力资源和图书馆集成管理系统,及时让读者使用这些电子资源,已成为该馆的重大挑战。有见及此,该馆在2007年决定把电子期刊的编目工作外包,并采用Innovative公司的电子资源管理系统来解决上述问题。此文的目的,是叙述该馆利用SerialsSolutions公司的服务和Innovative公司的电子资源管理系统来管理与日俱增的电子资源的经验。尽管尚有困难待克服,但通过此文所述的措施,该馆的电子资源管理工作已得到改善。     

关于知识管理实施理论的思考

分析与知识管理实施相关的热点,提出知识管理实施的理论框架,认为知识管理的实施应在信息技术的支撑下,吸收系统工程的理论和成果作为实施的指导思想;引入知识工程的方法和工具用于实施过程的管理;认为采用实践社团的组织形式将使知识真正变成企业的财富。     

Gateway to Improving ERM System Deliverables: NISO ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review

Seven years after the Digital Library Foundation's (DLF) pioneering 2004 Electronic Resources Management Initiative (ERMI) report, challenges with electronic resource management (ERM) system implementation, interoperability, management, and workflow issues remain. In 2009 the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) formed the ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review Steering Committee to undertake a gap analysis of ERM-related data, standards, and best practices with current and future e-resources management needs in mind. In this session a member of the Steering Committee presented an overview of the project and focused on initial results of the review, including mappings from the DLF ERMI data dictionary to a range of other current standards and best practices. This presentation was based on the draft of an unpublished discussion paper authored by the members of the NISO ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review Steering Committee.     

本体在跨语言信息检索中的应用机制研究

解释多语本体的含义,指出其在不同语言中所对应的领域知识,分析多语本体在查询扩展、语义标注、基于概念索引3方面对改善跨语言信息检索的作用,并通过介绍EuroWorldNet和Cindor系统的多语本体概念的对应方法,探讨本体应用于跨语言信息检索最关键的多语本体库的映射方法,认为采用中间语言作为概念表示、并通过词典翻译对照与不同语种的词汇建立链接关系是多语本体映射的一种良好方法。     

An improved SAO network-based method for technology trend analysis: A case study of graphene

This paper proposes an improved Subject-Action-Object (SAO) network-based method for analyzing trends in technology development. It attempts to address shortcomings of the traditional SAO network approach, i.e., when setting Subject, Action and Object as nodes of the network, there may be errors in explaining the relationship between Subject Node and Object Node, and the strength of the relationship between subject and object also cannot be identified. The proposed improved SAO network-based method in this paper includes: (1) a new method for constructing an SAO network based on SAO links that calculate the intensity of the relationship between nodes; (2) a model for identifying technology development trends based on structural holes, changes in the distribution of node degrees, and shifts in network centrality. An empirical study on graphene technology is used to illustrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.     

《中国图书馆分类法》第4版向第5版过渡期间的编目技术问题研究

随着《中图图书馆分类法》(以下简称《中图法》)(第5版)的正式出版,各图书馆都面临着《中图法》(第4版)向《中图法》(第5版)过渡的问题。怎样完成新旧版本使用的顺利过渡而又尽可能不影响读者查找图书,成为各图书馆编目部门亟需解决的重要技术问题。针对这一情况,西安交通大学图书馆通过对类号改变产生的16种情况的分析研究,形成了变动类目统计表,并制订了工作细则,从而实现了两个版本之间的平稳过渡。     

Legal Research Guide for the Customs Enforcement of ITC Exclusion Orders

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has recently become more important in the enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights. One significant part of ITC enforcement is the enforcement of ITC exclusion orders by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This Legal Research Guide seeks to provide comprehensive coverage of the primary and secondary sources available in the area of CBP enforcement of ITC exclusion orders, and focuses on primary sources because of the subject's relative newness and administrative law nature.     

Normalization of zero-inflated data: An empirical analysis of a new indicator family and its use with altmetrics data

Recently, two new indicators (Equalized Mean-based Normalized Proportion Cited, EMNPC; Mean-based Normalized Proportion Cited, MNPC) were proposed which are intended for sparse scientometrics data, e.g., alternative metrics (altmetrics). The indicators compare the proportion of mentioned papers (e.g. on Facebook) of a unit (e.g., a researcher or institution) with the proportion of mentioned papers in the corresponding fields and publication years (the expected values). In this study, we propose a third indicator (Mantel-Haenszel quotient, MHq) belonging to the same indicator family. The MHq is based on the MH analysis – an established method in statistics for the comparison of proportions. We test (using citations and assessments by peers, i.e. F1000Prime recommendations) if the three indicators can distinguish between different quality levels as defined on the basis of the assessments by peers. Thus, we test their convergent validity. We find that the indicator MHq is able to distinguish between the quality levels in most cases while MNPC and EMNPC are not. Since the MHq is shown in this study to be a valid indicator, we apply it to six types of zero-inflated altmetrics data and test whether different altmetrics sources are related to quality. The results for the various altmetrics demonstrate that the relationship between altmetrics (Wikipedia, Facebook, blogs, and news data) and assessments by peers is not as strong as the relationship between citations and assessments by peers. Actually, the relationship between citations and peer assessments is about two to three times stronger than the association between altmetrics and assessments by peers.
