The Dark Side of Collection Management: Deselecting Serials from a Research Library's Storage Facility Using WorldCat Collection Analysis     

Suzanne M. Ward  Mary C. Aagard 《资料收集管理》2013,38(4):272-287

To address the situation of its nearly full storage facility, the Purdue University Libraries developed guidelines for the deselection of very low–use serial titles and conducted a pilot project to identify material for withdrawal. The library school intern hired to conduct the pilot used WorldCat Collection Analysis to create subject lists of titles to be considered for withdrawal. These lists also contained value-added information about how many benchmark institutions owned and duplicated the local holdings of each title. Working with subject specialists, the intern developed criteria to guide a major serials deselection project. After the success of the internship in six subject areas, the libraries funded a longer-term position to complete the deselection project.  相似文献   

Partners in Collaborative Cataloging: The U.S. Government Printing Office and the University of Montana     

Teressa M. Keenan  Jennie M. Burroughs  Suzanne Ebanues 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2013,51(1-3):118-128

Collaboration is a necessity in the current library environment where time, money, and resources are limited. This is particularly noticeable for institutions housing federal government documents. In addition to keeping up with the influx of current publications, federal depository libraries must address historical documents for which bibliographic records are not readily available. This report discusses how the United States Government Printing Office and the University of Montana Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library are working together to increase access to pre-1976 United States Forest Service publications and gray literature within the same subject area.  相似文献   

Assessment of an iPad Loan Program in an Academic Medical Library: A Case Study     

Suzanne Shurtz  Robin Sewell  T. Derek Halling  Becky McKay  Catherine Pepper 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(3):265-281

An academic medical library expanded its iPad loan service to multiple campus libraries and conducted an assessment of the service. iPads loaded with medical and educational apps were loaned for two-week checkouts from five library campus locations. Device circulation statistics were tracked and users were invited to complete an online survey about their experience. Data were gathered and analyzed for 11 months. The assessment informed the library on how best to adapt the service, including what resources to add to the iPads, and the decision to move devices to campuses with more frequent usage.  相似文献

Differential Item Functioning for Accommodated Students with Disabilities: Effect of Differences in Proficiency Distributions     

Sarah Quesen  Suzanne Lane 《教育实用测度》2013,26(4):337-349

ABSTRACT

This study examined the effect of similar vs. dissimilar proficiency distributions on uniform DIF detection on a statewide eighth grade mathematics assessment. Results from the similar- and dissimilar-ability reference groups with an SWD focal group were compared for four models: logistic regression, hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM), the Wald-1 IRT-based test, and the Mantel-Haenszel procedure. A DIF-free-then-DIF strategy was used. The rate of DIF detection was examined among all accommodated scores and common accommodation subcategories. No items were detected for DIF using the similar ability distribution reference group, regardless of method. With the dissimilar ability reference group, logistic regression and Mantel–Haenszel flagged 8–17%, and the Wald-1 and HGLM test flagged 23–38% of items for DIF. Forming focal groups by accommodation type did not alter the pattern of DIF detection. Creating a reference group to be similar in ability to the focal group may control the rate of erroneous DIF detection for SWD.  相似文献

The Use of Occupational Images in Counselor Supervision     

Kevin B. Stoltz  Susan R. Barclay  Rebekah H. Reysen  Suzanne Degges 《Counselor Education & Supervision》2013,52(1):2-14

Counselor supervision occurs during a critical stage when counselors‐in‐training (CITs) are actively developing their career self‐concept as they adapt to professional life and responsibilities. This article provides an application of a narrative approach for supervisors helping CITs understand how their personal occupational images interplay with adjusting to the work environment. With this understanding, CITs are able to identify aspects of the professional career image that they want to develop and portray in their pursuit of a career in counseling.  相似文献   

Short Cuts and Extended Techniques: Rethinking relations between technology and educational theory     

Kurt Thumlert  Suzanne de Castell  Jennifer Jenson 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2013,45(8):786-803

Building upon a recent call to renew actor-network theory (ANT) for educational research, this article reconsiders relations between technology and educational theory. Taking cues from actor-network theorists, this discussion considers the technologically-mediated networks in which learning actors are situated, acted upon, and acting, and traces the novel positions of creative capacity and participation that emerging media may enable. Whereas traditional theories of educational technology tend to focus on the harmonization of new technologies with extant curricular goals and educational practices, an educational theory of technology looks to novel forms of technologically-mediated learning experience—from production pedagogies to role play in the virtual—to make visible the surprising relations, techniques, and opportunities that emerging media, and their attendant social contexts, may offer educational research.  相似文献

Insightful Learning of Life's Lessons with Older Adult Guests in the Classroom     

Daniel Vélez Ortiz  Suzanne L. Cross  Angelique Day 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(12):854-866

An intergenerational initiative was developed and implemented to enhance gerontology in the first course of the practice sequence. Seventeen students met with older adults (ages 82–98) in the classroom and at an assisted living facility. The evaluation of this older adult infusion project was conducted through two questionnaires and by the review of reflection papers completed as a course assignment. Pre-post statistical analyses as well as qualitative analysis evidenced an increase in knowledge of the older adults' lives as well as a professional interest in aging. As a result of this experience, several of the students volunteered at the facility, interviewed residents, and requested gerontological placements.  相似文献
