Cataloging on Receipt for Monographs: Merging Cataloging and Acquisitions Functions at UCLA     

Peter Fletcher  Roxanne M. Peck 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2013,51(1-3):129-138

Institutions have sought to improve technical services workflows by merging some acquisitions and cataloging functions in different ways and with varying results. Those institutions’ experiences with the merging process contrast with the process implemented at UCLA. At UCLA a process of cataloging on receipt was planned and implemented in the Print Acquisitions Department, in cooperation with the Cataloging & Metadata Center. The process resulted in significantly faster delivery of print books from receipt to shelf for materials not batch packed for remote storage.  相似文献   

OCLC's WorldShare Management Services: A Brave New World for Catalogers     

Claire-Lise Bénaud  Sever Bordeianu 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2013,51(7):738-752

Like other recent library management systems, OCLC's WorldShare Management Services (WMS) is cloud-based. But unlike the others, WMS opens WorldCat for applications beyond its traditional role as a source of bibliographic records. It enables catalogers to work directly from the Master Record, which no longer needs to be exported to a local system. This article describes the impact of WMS on the roles and functions of cataloging departments, and asks if it is changing the meaning of cataloging. It concludes that while the workflows are changed dramatically, the profession of cataloging remains relevant.  相似文献   

Skating on Thin Intermediation: Can Libraries Survive?     

James M. Donovan 《Legal Reference Services Quarterly》2013,32(2-3):95-116

ABSTRACT

Predictions about the end of libraries point to a real crisis, but assign the wrong cause. Libraries will not be displaced by technology like Google, but can be undermined by librarians’ own reactions to patron demand for Google-like experiences. Librarians can respond with a “weak model” that prioritizes the satisfaction of patrons, or a “strong model” that recognizes higher values rooted in the status of librarianship as a profession. Although recent trends favor the dominance of the weak model, only by embracing the strong model can librarians survive the challenges that threaten libraries.  相似文献   

The Three R's: Rapport,Relationship, and Reference     

Matt Stock 《The Reference Librarian》2013,54(1):45-52

In the eyes of our patrons, the success of a library transaction depends on both the accuracy of the information conveyed and the quality of the patron/staff interaction. We each experience rapport naturally many times during the day. Skills borrowed from the field of neuro-linguistic programming allow us to learn to quickly create a state of rapport with anyone we encounter. By learning to create rapport intentionally with our patrons, we can improve the quality of their library experience.  相似文献   

Offering Assistance at the OPACs     

《The Reference Librarian》2013,54(65):137-159

Summary

As technology races forward, public library OPACs have established a barrier to access. Computer literacy is required of the patron to access the collection through the OPAC. This barrier may be addressed with more active service. Rather than the librarian at the reference desk waiting to be asked, go to the patron. But will the patron accept? This study looks at who did accept and how often. Patrons heading towards the OPAC were greeted by an individual and offered assistance. Conducted at the Guilderland Public Library, a suburb of Albany, NY, in the fall of 1996, this study compares the responses of these patrons grouped by sex and approximate age. In 20 hours over five consecutive days, 189 patrons were recorded. Additionally the study touches upon other factors such as sex, race, dress, and more effective wording for the approach and offer.  相似文献

我国上市公司技术并购绩效的实证研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2       下载免费PDF全文

王宛秋  张永安  刘煜 《科学学研究》2009,27(11):1712-1719

技术并购被越来越多的企业认为是实现技术跨越、提高自身核心竞争能力的手段。但目前人们对技术并购的绩效表现并不明确,本文对我国目前技术并购对企业绩效贡献进行了实证研究。文章以2000年到2005年上市公司的并购公告为基础,以其在公开信息披露中称获取某种技术为其并购的意图或意图之一为标准,并进行管理因素"噪音"和再并购因素"噪音"控制,最后选取由41个公司的并购事件组成的一个样本。采用ROA相对值和ROE相对值作为评价基础,对该值并购前一年、并购当年、并购后第一年和并购后第二年的变化进行假设检验。结果显示,技术并购并没有给主并企业的绩效带来普遍贡献。再结合频数分析和描述性统计,发现尽管技术并购的成功率不高,但获得成功的企业可以通过技术并购创造很高的效益。所以,提高技术并购的收益与效率是我国企业在这一领域工作的当务之急。  相似文献

针对影响图书馆文献采访经费总量和分配比例受复杂因素制约的状况,指出除应对读者的信息需求指数的技术因素进行分析外,更多的还要考虑图书馆的真实处境、条件及其它人为因素,图书馆只有明确自己的地位和作用,有的放矢,才能灵活主动地使用好有限的经费。  相似文献   

以城带乡:乡镇行政体制改革的城市化走向——以武汉市双柳"乡改街"为例   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

城市与乡村是分别建构不同的治理体制,还是建构合一的治理体制,主要取决于两个社会单元的社会特性及其关系模式。从城乡二元治理体制向城乡一体治理体制转变是今后农村基层管理体制改革的总趋向。但是,对特大城市近郊农业型乡镇而言,最关键的是从单向行政管理型行政体系向公共服务型行政体系的转型。新公共管理理论“市场化导向”和新公共服务理论“政府责任的回归”都存在着理论解说和实践运行上的缺陷,市场导向抑或政府责任的单向强化都无助于推进乡镇行政体制改革。从理论建构的角度来讲,新公共服务理论在回归政府责任的同时也不可能完全抛弃新公共管理理论中的市场因子。  相似文献
