Forward view: advancing health library and knowledge services in England          下载免费PDF全文

Sue Lacey Bryant  Helen Bingham  Ruth Carlyle  Alison Day  Linda Ferguson  David Stewart 《Health information and libraries journal》2018,35(1):70-77

This article is the fourth in a series on New Directions. The National Health Service is under pressure, challenged to meet the needs of an ageing population, whilst striving to improve standards and ensure decision making is underpinned by evidence. Health Education England is steering a new course for NHS library and knowledge services in England to ensure access to knowledge and evidence for all decision makers. Knowledge for Healthcare calls for service transformation, role redesign, greater coordination and collaboration. To meet user expectations, health libraries must achieve sustainable, affordable access to digital content. Traditional tasks will progressively become mechanised. Alongside supporting learners, NHS librarians and knowledge specialists will take a greater role as knowledge brokers, delivering business critical services. They will support the NHS workforce to signpost patients and the public to high‐quality information. There is a need for greater efficiency and effectiveness through greater co‐operation and service mergers. Evaluation of service quality will focus more on outcomes, less on counting. These changes require an agile workforce, fit for the future. There is a bright future in which librarians’ expertise is used to mobilise evidence, manage and share knowledge, support patients, carers and families, optimise technology and social media and provide a keystone for improved patient care and safety.  相似文献   

Retention Matters: Academic Libraries Leading the Way     

Silas M. Oliveira 《New Review of Academic Librarianship》2018,24(1):35-47

Academic libraries have always strived to be purposively involved in the university's mission attainment efforts. Today, the increase of retention levels is paramount, and, in many cases, it is at the center of higher education institution's strategic plans. For Andrews University, for example, the goal is to reach 80% in the next five years. In the United States, student retention efforts become even more critical due, in part, to declining enrollment numbers set off by soaring higher education costs. Academic librarians are aware of the library's role in the university's overall efforts to increase persistence rates and curtail attrition. Through a literature review, this article highlights how academic libraries are participating in this process. This study focuses on how academic libraries can be leaders in their Institutions by adopting a user-centered philosophy and services that will promote life-long learning, enhance students’ academic experience, and promote engagement, leading to retention.  相似文献   

On the same page: Improving the connection between public services units in academic libraries     

Elizabeth Marcus  Malti Turnbull 《College & Undergraduate Libraries》2018,25(2):101-109

Communication quality between public service units in academic libraries can make the difference between mediocre and exceptional service. If units do not communicate well, patrons may receive inaccurate information and experience short-term frustration, leading to long-term damage to the library's reputation. Poor communication creates adverse effects on employees through decreased productivity, negative work culture, and low morale. This article explores the importance of quality communication through a review of the literature and a case study at one academic library. The authors share practical communication improvement strategies for libraries of every size and fiscal ability.  相似文献

摘要：采用文献资料等研究方法对我国少数民族地区体育公共服务供给困境及对策进行分析，旨在为我国少数民族地区体育公共服务的可持续发展提供思路。研究认为：我国少数民族地区体育公共服务供给的困境包括少数民族地区地域广阔，自然环境相对恶劣、少数民族地区经济相对落后，发展缓慢、少数民族地区政治环境相对复杂、少数民族地区地方政府民族特性浓厚、少数民族地区社会结构比较复杂、居民主体意识比较淡薄、少数民族地区呈现大杂居、小聚居的特点。面对这些困境，我们要转变政府职能，强化少数民族地区政府体育公共服务意识、提升少数民族地区体育公共服务供给能力、加大对少数民族地区的财政转移支付力度、加大民族传统体育的传承和开发、加大少数民族地区体育公共服务公民参与制度和渠道的力度、创新民族地区体育公共服务供给模式等。  相似文献   

What factors increase Dutch child health care professionals’ adherence to a national guideline on preventing child abuse and neglect?     

《Child abuse & neglect》2016

Guidelines to support health care professionals in early detection of, and responses to, suspected Child Abuse and Neglect (CAN) have become increasingly widely available. Yet little is known about professionals’ adherence to these guidelines or the determinants that affect their uptake. This study used a cross-sectional design to assess the adherence of Dutch Child Health Care (CHC) professionals to seven key activities described in a national guideline on preventing CAN. This study also examined the presence and strengths of determinants of guideline adherence. Online questionnaires were filled in between May and July 2013 by 164 CHC professionals. Adherence was defined as the extent to which professionals performed each of seven key activities when they suspected CAN. Thirty-three determinants were measured in relation to the guideline, the health professional, the organisational context and the socio-political context. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses tested associations between determinants and guideline adherence. Most of the responding CHC professionals were aware of the guideline and its content (83.7%). Self-reported rates of full adherence varied between 19.5% and 42.7%. Stronger habit to use the guideline was the only determinant associated with higher adherence rates in the multivariate analysis. Understanding guideline adherence and associated determinants is essential for developing implementation strategies that can stimulate adherence. Although CHC professionals in this sample were aware of the guideline, they did not always adhere to its key recommended activities. To increase adherence, tailored interventions should primarily focus on enhancing habit strength.  相似文献   

Mixed Reality Lab at Mississippi State University Libraries     

Derek H. Marshall  Joy DuBose  Pattye Archer 《Public Services Quarterly》2019,15(1):51-58

Virtual and Augmented Realities are advancing technologies that are becoming more popular in gaming and programming communities. However, virtual reality has been in development for decades. As libraries are often at the forefront of offering new and advancing technologies to their communities, virtual and augmented reality programs have become new additions to library services. While gaming is the prominent use of these technologies, virtual and augmented reality affords many educational opportunities. Mississippi State University Libraries have recently added a virtual/augmented reality lab as part of its library program.  相似文献   

Assessing library topics using sentiment analysis in R: a discussion and code sample     

Brady D. Lund 《Public Services Quarterly》2020,16(2):112-123

Abstract

This article discusses the use of R programing language for executing a sentiment analysis of tweets pertaining to library topics. This discussion is situated within the literature of marketing and management sciences, which is employing methods of machine learning and business intelligence to make informed decision-making, and library administration, which has expressed great interest in social media engagement within its literature but has yet to adopt these types of analysis. Presented in this article is a sample code with instructions on how users may execute it within R to retrieve and analyze tweets relevant to library services. Two examples created using the code (analysis of top librarians’ tweets and analysis of posts about major book publishers) are used to demonstrate the functionality of the code. The code presented in this article may be used by libraries to analyze tweets about their library and library-related topics, which, in turn, may inform management and marketing design.  相似文献
