Auditing the historic environment: Measurements,datasets and English heritage's state of the historic environment report 2002     

Ian Baxter 《Cultural Trends》2002,12(46):1-31

This chapter sets out the current context for historic environment management, and the associated information requirements to manage organisations successfully within the sector for the benefit of the country's heritage. The initiative undertaken by English Heritage (the English government's conservation advisors) in developing a pilot State of the Historic Environment Report is used as a case study in the collation of management information for advocacy purposes. Political support for such a development is considered, as well as the history of the report's development with its roots outside the heritage sector. The challenges of project management for report delivery are discussed, particularly where information collation and analysis is reliant on third‐party data sources, often created for separate purposes. Tourism data is focused on, showing how results from the former English Tourism Council's annual surveys of visitor attractions were used to inform key messages in the heritage sector. Comments are made on specific types of data used, and a review given of the methodology for collecting dedicated heritage management organisational data.  相似文献

A strategic approach to developing e-learning capability for healthcare     

Clarke A  Lewis D  Cole I  Ringrose L 《Health information and libraries journal》2005,22(Z2):33-41

Objectives: This article examines a strategic approach to developing e‐learning capability to enhance learning opportunities for the workforce of a healthcare organization. Emphasis is given to the procurement of a bespoke Managed Learning Environment (MLE). Strategic organizational issues impacting on future e‐learning developments are considered. Methods: The 2‐year implementation plan was evaluated through a two phase external research project. The first phase focused on the effectiveness of a training programme designed to build capacity for e‐learning within the Northern area and also included a virtual learning environment usability study which informed the MLE specification. The second phase evaluation is ongoing during 2005 and interim findings are presented. Results: The MLE has been piloted and on‐line learning packages have been acquired. There has been a phased take‐up of e‐learning opportunities and e‐tutor training. Some virtual Communities of Practice have been established. Key organizational issues have been identified and ongoing findings are informing strategic planning. Conclusions: The healthcare MLE is offering enhanced learning opportunities and assisting area healthcare providers in training their dispersed workforces. Blended learning strategies are most successful. The need for protected time for e‐learning is a key issue, financial savings are available. Progress has been slowed by identified organizational constraints—the MLE's benefits are widely recognized.  相似文献   

Censorship and massmarket paperbound publishing     

Ian Ballantine 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1995,11(4):3-8

The introduction of the paperback book in the United States in 1939, and the subsequent “paperbacking of America” after 1945, permanently altered the book publishing industry in this nation. What business, societal, or governmental forces influenced the censoring of paperback books in the United States? In this article, Ian Ballantine, a leader in the paperback mass market industry, provides a personal perspective on censorship; His candid observations about individuals, books, and movements shed new light on a pivotal period in the history of the book in this country.  相似文献
