Problem Solving Academic Workloads Management: A University Response1     

Shelley R. Paewai  Luanna H. Meyer  Don J. Houston 《Higher Education Quarterly》2007,61(3):375-390

Universities are challenged to maintain a work environment where academic staff fulfil traditional academic duties while responding to a diverse student population, a competitive research environment, and an escalation of administrative tasks within an accountability‐based climate. This paper analyses the development and implementation of a workloads policy at a New Zealand university through a joint university management and staff union initiative. The workloads policy was built on the principles of equity, transparency, reasonableness, safety and acceptability to staff. The integrity and effectiveness of adoption is evaluated through analyses of work requirements, workloads models and the findings from case studies of implementation by six diverse units from across the university. Based on our evaluation, we highlight aspects of the policy and procedures that have promise and suggest modifications where particular processes and outcomes fell short of stated goals for institutional change.  相似文献   

The Maine electronic document delivery project: a cooperative project of Maine hospital libraries and the NN/LM New England Region     

Goldstein M  Sibley D 《Medical reference services quarterly》2003,22(3):53-62

The article discusses an Ariel document delivery project with seven Maine hospital libraries, the University of Massachusetts Medical School Library (UMass), and the New England Regional office of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. Funding was awarded to six network members to purchase equipment or Ariel software. UMass served as a document provider. During the test, libraries received documents from UMass via Ariel or via the Web as a PDF document. This form of document delivery was faster than standard service with better quality of delivered articles. The column describes the project and outlines possible future steps.  相似文献   

Faculty Perceptions of ACRL's Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education     

Shelley Gullikson   《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2006,32(6):583-592

Faculty were asked how important for their students the Association of College and Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards'outcomes are, and when students should display the relevant skills. Faculty believe most of the Standards' outcomes are important but show little agreement on when students should acquire them.  相似文献

Research Managers Uncovered: Changing Roles and 'Shifting Arenas' in the Academy     

Louise Shelley 《Higher Education Quarterly》2010,64(1):41-64

This paper draws on findings from a study that explored the changing roles and career experience of research managers and research administrators in English universities. It explores how research support has evolved during a period when the higher education sector was responding to changing science and higher education policy. These changes have impacted on research managers and research administrators roles, altered the occupational group and moved field boundaries. The paper draws on Bourdieu's theory of social practice to understand these changes and identifies a shared space of tension, the 'shifting arena,' where the research manager field crosses into the academic field. It is suggested that an increased understanding of this space will enhance the collaborative working of all those involved in research and help maximise research activity.  相似文献

Hunting and gathering: new imperatives in mapping and collecting student learning data to assure quality outcomes     

Romy Lawson  Tracy Taylor  Erica French  Eveline Fallshaw  Cathy Hall  Shelley Kinash 《高等教育研究与发展》2015,34(3):581-595

Assurance of learning (AOL) is a quality enhancement and quality assurance process used in higher education. It involves a process of determining programme learning outcomes and standards, and systematically gathering evidence to measure students' performance on these. The systematic assessment of whole-of-programme outcomes provides a basis for curriculum development and management, continuous improvement, and accreditation. To better understand how AOL processes operate, a national study of university practices across one discipline area, business and management, was undertaken. To solicit data on AOL practice, interviews were undertaken with a sample of business school representatives (n?=?25). Two key processes emerged: (1) mapping of graduate attributes and (2) collection of assurance data. External drivers such as professional accreditation and government legislation were the primary reasons for undertaking AOL outcomes but intrinsic motivators in relation to continuous improvement were also evident. The facilitation of academic commitment was achieved through an embedded approach to AOL by the majority of universities in the study. A sustainable and inclusive process of AOL was seen to support wider stakeholder engagement in the development of higher education learning outcomes.  相似文献
