While many studies have discussed the impacts of electronic government (e-government) on public libraries, little research has considered the extent to which the current federal government's implementation of e-government relies on the public technology access, training, and support provided by public libraries. A range of data and policy materials are drawn upon in order to illuminate the co-evolution of public libraries and e-government. Beginning with a discussion of the development of e-government and its impacts in public libraries, the access, goals, and challenges of e-government are detailed as they relate to libraries, and the areas in which current implementations of e-government would not be possible without public libraries. Based on the explorations of the co-evolution of e-government and public libraries, key policy issues are offered that require reconceptualization in order to better support the interrelationship between e-government and public libraries.  相似文献   

Addressing the big picture: Deaf children and reading assessments     

Ashley Greene-Woods  Natalie Delgado 《Psychology in the schools》2020,57(3):394-401

In the field of education, there is a great emphasis placed on literacy, from reading fluency to writing. There are various approaches that teachers can use in their classroom to design and identify needed areas of instruction, but these approaches do not always apply to Deaf Education. The act of using the same assessments throughout all student populations presents some potential issues, particularly the question of whether or not the students’ actual literacy abilities are being identified. The focus is to spotlight a frequently used approach for measuring reading fluency and present an alternative approach.  相似文献   

Preschoolers modulate contrastive inferences during online language comprehension     

Narae Ju  Natalie Williams  Julie Sedivy  Craig G. Chambers  Susan A. Graham 《Child development》2023,94(5):1319-1329

This study examined 4- and 5-year-olds' incremental interpretation of size adjectives, focusing on whether contrastive inferences are modulated by speaker behavior. Children (N = 120, 59 females, mostly White, tested between July, 2018 and August, 2019) encountered either a conventional or unconventional speaker who labeled objects in a correspondingly typical or atypical way. Critical utterances contained size adjectives (e.g., “Look at the big duck”). With conventional speakers, gaze measures indicated that children rapidly used the adjective to differentiate members of a contrasting pair, indicating that even 4-year-olds derive contrastive inferences. With unconventional speakers, contrastive inferences were delayed in processing. The findings demonstrate that preschoolers adjust their use of pragmatic cues when presented with evidence disconfirming their default assumptions about a speaker.  相似文献   

Case Study: Distance Learning at the SBC Center for Learning     

Natalie S. Friend 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》1999,12(4):33-44

This case study presents what distance learning is and how it can be used as an alternative delivery solution for training. Distance learning definitions, characteristics, and design qualities are discussed. Specific examples and characteristics of the SBC Center for Learning's distance learning use are provided and can be related with how other companies, such as Arthur Andersen, Eastman Kodak, Microsoft, Netscape, and the Rochester Institute of Technology are using distance learning as an instructional delivery solution. Finally, the future technologies and applications of distance learning at the SBC Center for Learning and in general are discussed.  相似文献

Failure is not an option: Entrepreneurship and the existential crisis of internationalization in the U.S.     

Chris R. Glass  Natalie I. Cruz 《Higher Education Quarterly》2023,77(2):283-297

Internationalization has become intertwined with efforts for institutions to compensate for declines in public funding with the development of new revenue streams. The purpose of this study is to understand the social construction of entrepreneurship in internationalization in the United States as well as explore the multiple meanings of entrepreneurship and its contradictions in discourse among senior international officers. The findings discuss and explore competing views, tensions and ethical complexities of the ‘new entrepreneurism’ increasingly common in internationalization, which blends creative problem-solving with pressures for revenue generation. The findings of this study illustrate that as the world faces genuine existential crises that threaten the continued existence of our species on the planet, internationalization is in the midst of an identity crisis. The drift towards privatization is proving to be increasingly unsustainable and an entirely insufficient response to the existential threats that face the world.  相似文献
