Faculty–Librarian Micro-Level Collaboration in an Online Graduate History Course     

Erin Dorris Cassidy  Kenneth E. Hendrickson 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2013

This paper describes a micro-level faculty–librarian collaboration implemented at the authors' state university to address students' information literacy deficiencies in a graduate-level history research methods course. The setting, implementation, and evolution of the partnership are described in detail to suggest a model for other instructors. Additionally, consideration is given to issues of working in an online course environment and the benefits of micro- versus macro-level librarian support. Consideration is given to future steps for strengthening the partnership and measuring its impact on student outcomes.  相似文献   

Faculty–library collaboration: A model for University of Colombo     

Nayana Darshani Wijayasundara 《International Information and Library Review》2013,45(3):188-198

Faculty–library collaboration paves the way to make students information literate and finally to make them life-long learners. In traditional universities, the faculty–library collaboration is an emerging phenomenon as these two entities are driven by separate agendas; teaching and providing services. Rapid development in information and communication technologies has built a platform for these two institutions to work collaboratively and for making synergies. The purpose of this paper is to describe the conceptual model for faculty–library collaboration based on the extensive literature review and some strategies used by librarians at University of Colombo to collaborate with the academics.  相似文献   

Current Awareness from the User's Perspective: A Survey of Harvard Legal Academics     

《Legal Reference Services Quarterly》2013,32(4):115-128

Abstract

This survey examines the basic needs of Harvard Law Faculty for information about new books and current journal articles. The purpose of this survey was to examine new media and technology in order to develop better current awareness tools, to better utilize the online catalog as a method of delivering current information to faculty, and to produce a new publication that fills in the gaps left by Current Index to Legal Periodicals and other sources. This survey looks at the production and circulation of photocopied pages of law reviews, recent acquisition lists, document delivery and interdisciplinary current awareness needs.  相似文献   

Faculty Services in the 21st Century: Evolution and Innovation     

《Legal Reference Services Quarterly》2013,32(1-2):187-207

SUMMARY

Law faculty in the 21st century present new challenges for law librarians. Traditional services such as document delivery and interlibrary loan are improved. New services are developed to meet the needs of law faculty researching in disciplines other than law and facing a changing environment of publication of legal scholarship. Faculty services in 2000 and 2006 are compared and trends for the future analyzed.  相似文献   

Faculty     

《The Reference Librarian》2013,54(73):253-263

Abstract

Teaching faculty are a key resource for reference librarians. This paper includes a discussion of major forces affecting reference service as well as suggestions on ways for librarians to become better acquainted with teaching faculty. One benefit of making these connections is that when faculty know and have confidence in librarians, they are more likely to urge their students to get help at the desk, to schedule course-related instruction sessions, and to let librarians know if they have a particularly difficult or complex assignment. Another benefit is that such connections often lead to increased opportunities, from participation in campus-wide initiatives to the development of collaborative projects and other scholarly work. As a librarian relatively new to the profession, I know that such connections with teaching faculty have enriched my own career.  相似文献   

The Availability of Faculty Publication Databases from Library Web Pages     

《Journal of Web Librarianship》2013,7(2):27-55

Abstract

Faculty publication databases or author bibliographies offer libraries an opportunity to provide services to users. Initially, these databases remained initiatives of special libraries in the health-sciences fields. Librarians used the publication information derived from these databases to compile lists for annual reports. However, the advent of new technologies, especially the Web, prompted numerous libraries to develop faculty publication databases for their institutions. The author conducted a survey of various listservs to discover the history and development of these databases. The results illustrate the popularity of Web-based faculty publication databases. The motivation for their creation varied, but most respondents emphasized the desire to highlight the research activities of their institutions. In addition, the content of materials included in the databases and the definition of faculty also varied, depending on the type of library. Librarians reported a wide range of software employed in the development of these databases highlighting their creation by librarians with various levels of programming skills. Moreover, additional features included in these projects underscore the potential for librarians to provide added value from this service. Finally, while institutional repositories seemingly present similar content, publication databases differ in their focus on a citation format that offers a solution to items without copyright permission for full-text accessibility.  相似文献   

Implementing Bayh-Dole-like laws: Faculty problems and their impact on university patenting activity   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Nicola Baldini 《Research Policy》2009,38(8):1217-1224

The implementation of a Bayh-Dole-like legislation outside the US is still a major concern that needs to be addressed. I fill this gap in two ways. First, I report the results of a faculty survey on obstacles to patenting activity in Italian universities, targeted both to inventors and to those non-inventors which reported to engage in university patenting activity and to give up before any patents could be filed. Second, I investigate their effect in a regression model using universities’ patent counts as the dependent variable. Results show that obstacles to university patenting activity reduce to four dimensions: lack of support mechanisms (including insufficient reward for researchers, lack of a TTO, lack of funds to cover patenting costs), commercialisation problems, too heavy teaching and administrative duties, and personal/cultural problems (related to the scarce knowledge of institutional-level patent regulations and to the “open science” mentality of the university). Among them, however, only the lack of support by the university administration reduces the patent counts. Publication productivity has an inverted U-shaped relation with patent counts, but the overall effect is still largely positive, given the current publication levels.  相似文献   

Design,identification, and control of a linear dual-stage actuation positioning system     

J. Zheng  M. Fu  R. Lu  S. Xie 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2018,355(12):5018-5036

Voice coil actuators (VCAs) are widely used for motion control applications that require high precision and fast acceleration. However, they have one disadvantage of short travel ranges typically on the order of centimeters. To overcome this disadvantage, this paper employs an existing concept called dual-stage actuation and combines a linear VCA with a low-cost dc-motor (DCM) to construct a linear dual-stage actuation (DSA) positioning system, which extends the travel range as large as that provided by the DCM while retaining the positioning accuracy offered by the VCA. For this setup, proper controllers are crucial to achieve the desired performance. Hence, we first identify the DSA model and investigate the interaction force between the VCA and DCM stage. Next, robust controllers are specifically designed for the DCM and VCA stage, respectively. Finally, experiments are carried out to verify the robust tracking performance of the developed linear DSA positioning system. It is demonstrated that the developed DSA positioning system offered a cost-effective solution to extending the working range of the existing VCA whilst retaining the positioning accuracy.  相似文献   

The flourishing of care in a multidisciplinary Faculty Learning Community     

Julie A. Timmermans  Carmen Bruni  Rob Gorbet  Barbara Moffatt  Gordon Stubley  Diane Williams 《International Journal for Academic Development》2018,23(4):367-373

In a multidisciplinary Faculty Learning Community focussed on exploring threshold concepts and bottlenecks in learning, care emerged as an unanticipated dimension to our work, transforming the ways we view teaching, learning, our disciplines, and educational development. In this piece, we reflect on the types of care that emerged and consider implications for educational development.  相似文献
