原帅  贺飞 《高等工程教育研究》2018,(2):67-70,89

哈佛大学自2007年重建工程与应用科学学院以来,采取了与传统工程学科大相径庭的发展路径,以解决人类面临重大挑战的前沿科学为重点发展方向,以机制保障为学科交叉融合提供土壤,以空间优化调整助力研究、孵化、成果转化一体化发展,取得了显著成绩。哈佛大学工学院发展路径正体现了新工科建设思路,对我国高校加快建设发展新工科,推动学科深度交叉融合,优化调整空间布局,服务科研创新、成果转化等具有重要启示。  相似文献   

高校馆配中文电子书的现状与问题分析     

顾烨青  陈铭 《高校图书馆工作》2018,(1):42-52

当前,高校馆配中文电子书的市场供给由直接渠道中的内容出版商和间接渠道中的数字图书馆集成商、传统纸质书馆配商构成。高校馆配中文电子书市场存在着平台众多、整合困难,电子书格式、功能与呈现方式不一,标准的行业认可度和执行力不足,新书纸电同步率不高,定价偏低等诸多问题。高校图书馆界应增进与供给渠道商的沟通合作,发挥CALIS的桥梁纽带作用,加强电子书的阅读推广,培养师生成熟的版权意识,深入调研读者阅读行为,制订符合馆情的纸质书与电子书协同采访方针。  相似文献   

Analysis of Academic Libraries' Facebook Posts: Text and Data Analytics     

Sultan M. Al-Daihani  Alan Abrahams 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(2):216-225

This research analyzed a dataset of academic libraries' posts on Facebook. It applied a text and data analytics approach to a dataset collected from the Facebook posts of academic libraries at the top 100 English-speaking universities, as listed by the 2014 Shanghai World University Rankings. The dataset is from a two-year posting history of 18,333 unique posts, 113,621 likes, and 3401 comments. Less than a quarter of the libraries had more than 2000 post-related likes, and only seven received more than 100 comments on their postings. Content analysis identified the most prevalent single word (unigrams), bigrams (two-word sequences), and trigrams (three-word sequences) in high and low engagement content. Semantic analysis identified the semantic categories for posts with high and low engagement. The findings can assist academic libraries in their social media strategies for engagement, marketing, and visibility.  相似文献   

Ecological Study of Graduation Rates and GPA in a Library Credit Course     

Christina Heady  Megan M. Morrison  Joshua Vossler 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(5):642-649

The purpose of this ecological study was to examine the impact of a library credit course on graduation rates and GPA using pre-existing records. Over 20?years of aggregate institutional data were analyzed to evaluate the course's impact on first-time-full-time, white, and black students. Results were mixed: students who took the course were less likely to graduate than their peers who did not take the course but enjoyed slightly higher GPAs at graduation. It was discovered that students taking the course are not representative of the overall student body and struggle academically. Implications for revisions to the library credit course are discussed.  相似文献   

基于读者属性分析的图书馆空间再造研究     

孙超  刘咸 《图书情报工作》2018,62(20):43-48

[目的/意义]现阶段很多图书馆都出现了空间不足、环境老化的现象,空间再造成为图书馆的一个迫在眉睫、亟待解决的重大课题。[方法/过程]根据图书馆空间五要素要求原则,从读者属性角度分析图书馆空间短缺的原因是来自读者对图书馆空间的需求差异,把握读者属性的特点才能更好的进行空间再造。[结果/结论]针对不同类型的图书馆给出有效改善图书馆空间紧缩或阅读空间空置率高等现状的相应思路。  相似文献

Instructor Use of Educational Streaming Video Resources     

Andy Horbal 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(2):179-189

Although a substantial majority of academic libraries now provide streaming video, the literature contains few studies which focus on how such resources are used. This article presents the results of a qualitative research study consisting of in-depth interviews with 18 instructors who use of one category of streaming video resources, educational videos, which are important because they are sold a higher price than most individuals can afford, and thus are typically only available to instructors through the library. The study's main findings are that instructors think educational streaming video resources compare favorably to commercial and non-streaming alternatives in most respects and use them whenever possible, that the primary benefit of these resources is to facilitate better use of limited class time by enabling instructors to assign videos as outside-of-class viewing, and that the library is not the primary means instructors use to discover new educational streaming video resources. Additional insights are provided into factors that academic libraries should consider when deciding which resources to invest in, which acquisition models to pursue, and what marketing strategies to employ to ensure maximum usage.  相似文献   

Crowdfunding for Academic Libraries: Indiana Jones Meets Polka     

Sara Bushong  Susannah Cleveland  Christopher Cox 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(2):313-318

Crowdfunding – or creatively presenting a case for funding to like-minded individuals – is becoming an effective development strategy for academic libraries. The crowdfunding projects described offer multiple approaches to consider, from an adventure-themed video to embracing polka music to entice donors to give. Social media, used in conjunction with the web and well-established email communication formed the basis of successful project promotion. Developing a robust communication plan ahead of campaign launch is critical for success. Thanking donors for their transformational gifts and follow up communication describing the impact of their participation six months later raises friends for the library potentially for many years to come. With proper planning, an active and enthusiastic committee and effective donor stewardship, crowdfunding campaigns will help libraries raise funds to support strategic initiatives.  相似文献   

Google Scholar's Coverage of the Engineering Literature 10 years Later     

Carmen Cole  Angela R. Davis  Vanessa Eyer  John J. Meier 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(3):419-425

In 2008 Meier and Conkling first tested Google Scholar's coverage of the engineering literature against citations gathered from the Compendex database. Since that time, other studies have used the same methodology and found improvement in Google Scholar's coverage. This study uses engineering dissertations from Proquest Dissertations & Theses to create a data set of citations for the comparison of fee-based databases, Compendex and Scopus, against Google Scholar. From 1950 to 2017 Google Scholar outperformed both Compendex and Scopus in discoverability of citations in nine engineering subjects. These results have implications for collection management and information literacy program planning for librarians.  相似文献   

创客时代高校图书馆读者创客素养培育探究     

刘偲偲  车宝晶 《图书情报工作》2018,62(2):29-34

[目的/意义]培育读者的创客素养是发展读者核心素养的关键之一,通过提出培育创客素养的有效途径,为在创客时代提升读者创客的创客素养提供借鉴。[方法/过程]基于创客素养教育涵义的分析,对创客素养包含的创客意识、创客道德、创客能力、创客技术和创客精神5个方面内容进行阐述,提出图书馆应通过采取转变思维观念、打造创客环境、渲染创客空间范式、培育不同创客DNA、支持组建创客团队等8种培育创客素养的途径。[结果/结论]图书馆应把握好双创教育的发展态势,正确实行空间再造,积极开展创客活动并实施创客素养教育,真正担当起双创教育的职责,为构建良好的校园创客文化做出贡献。  相似文献
