Web Design Trends in Academic Libraries—A Longitudinal Study     

David J. Comeaux 《Journal of Web Librarianship》2017,11(1):1-15

This study examines several key design elements of 37 academic library Web sites (members of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries) and how they have changed between 2012 and 2015. While several studies have reviewed library Web sites looking for common design elements and content, the present work may be the first to look at the design elements of a large group of library Web sites over time. This study has two main goals: to present an objective analysis of the navigation and search interface designs at research university library Web sites, and to assess the usage of Web-scale discovery systems and content management systems in libraries. Other areas explored include when sites were most recently redesigned and whether sites have adopted a mobile-friendly, responsive design. Notable findings include a very high usage of Web-scale discovery systems, an increasing adoption of open source content management systems, and increasing implementation of responsive design. Also noted was a strong and growing standardization in navigation design. This study concludes with a review of the trends and discussion of current design patterns in academic library Web sites.  相似文献   

Harnessing Yik Yak for Good: A Study of Students’ Anonymous Library Feedback     

Mark Robison  Ruth Sara Connell 《Journal of Web Librarianship》2017,11(1):35-55

This study explores academic libraries’ potential uses of the mobile application Yik Yak, with particular focus on patrons’ anonymous feedback about library services and spaces. Over a 232-day period, the authors observed the Yik Yak feed for their university and recorded all yaks related to the library. A content analysis of the 249 library-related yaks found six distinct purposes that these library-related yaks served, from the perspective of the patron, which are of interest to the library: asking questions about library services; reporting problems with library spaces; reprimanding violations of and encouraging adherence to library policies; sharing compliments about library services; demons-trating need for improved library services; and discussing and offering feedback about library programs. This study reveals several opportunities for academic libraries to engage with Yik Yak in order to serve their patrons better, including providing virtual reference services, monitoring problems within the building, developing proactive approaches to policy enforce-ment, gathering honest and continuous feedback about the library's strengths, and identifying opportunities to improve and expand services. Implications for practice are discussed.  相似文献   

Seeing Library Data: A Prototype Data Visualization Application for Librarians     

Mark Eaton 《Journal of Web Librarianship》2017,11(1):69-78

Visualizations can add value to raw library data. Tools that programmatically make such visualizations interactive can further increase the value of these data by giving librarians visual tools to analyze their datasets. To demonstrate these benefits, Kingsborough Community College Library built SeeCollections (http://b7jl.org/seecollections), a Web application that visualizes the libraries’ collections of books and e-books. This article discusses the how SeeCollections gathers data from Kingsborough's discovery layer API (Application Programming Interface) and transforms these data to create visualizations for the Web. SeeCollections is a lightweight, proof-of-concept data application based on a vendor API. API data are often accessible in academic libraries but are frequently underutilized. SeeCollections was built to demonstrate the immediate value of these API data sources to Kingsborough librarians by providing a visual interface to discovery layer data. Keeping in mind the broader literature on data visualization, this article will explore how SeeCollections was built.  相似文献   

论学术研究在主题展览中的基础性作用 ——以“鸦片战争”展览为例          下载免费PDF全文

唐立鹏 《自然科学博物馆研究》2017,2(4):5-11

历史文化类展览的主题,须从历史文化事实中提取最具代表性、影响力和教育意义的概念,并以丰富的历史文化内容来表达,通过承载着这些历史文化信息的展品和布展设计来表现。因此,学术研究是博物馆展览设计的基石,研究的广度和深度直接影响展览的科学品质。鸦片战争博物馆针对本馆的展览选题,搭建了包括馆刊、专著、论坛在内的多种学术平台,孵化了一批学术研究成果,并运用于“鸦片战争”展览,极大地深化了展览主题、丰富了展示内涵,并促成了形式与内容的较好融合,集中体现了“内容为王”的办展理念。  相似文献   

校报要让短稿唱主角     

王淑洁 《唐山师范学院学报》2001,23(6):89-90

当前高校校报普遍存在着长稿偏多的现象，根据高校校报自身的任务和特点，应该在刊载字数、版面安排，写作方法等方面采取措施多采用短稿，以加大信息承载量。  相似文献   

钱大昕的经学批评     

王记录  孙新梅 《河南师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2005,32(5):79-83

乾嘉时期，钱大昕对汉学、宋学和清代学术进行了较为系统的评论。在治经的理念和方法上，钱大昕推崇汉学，以汉儒治经的方法为标准衡评后世学术，具有汉学家的立场，但同时又力戒今古文门户，尽量以持平之心审视学术发展。对于宋学，钱大听从工具和思想两个层面上进行了评论和驳难．剖析宋儒所倡导的“性”、“理”、“道”等范畴．给以新的解释，并以日常伦理来批评理学的思辨，有误读宋儒的地方。他总结出清学崇尚古学、实事求是、重视经史、经世致用的特点，同时又批评了清儒过分尊经泥古的弊病。  相似文献   

国家安全之外的《国防教育法》——20世纪中期美国教育改革起源的再审视     

王慧敏 《高等教育研究》2018,(10):100-109

1958年颁布的《国防教育法》对认识二战后美国的教育变革有重要意义。但长期以来研究者都视其为对"苏联卫星事件"的回应,是冷战时期国防政策的重要内容。笔者通过对文献的重新发掘与分析,指出两者之间不存在必然联系,这场教育改革不是"刺激-反应"模式的产物;此外,该法案立法过程中的焦点问题是对联邦政府干预教育权限的再讨论;法案通过后,在宣誓政治忠诚和学术自由问题上也受到广泛批评。国家安全不能概括法案的全部,至于联邦政府如何干预教育,以法案为代表的每一次讨论本身就是答案。  相似文献   

高校教师视角下的人文社会科学国际发表及其激励制度     

许心  蒋凯 《高等教育研究》2018,(1):43-55

在学术国际化和中国哲学社会科学"走出去"的背景下,越来越多的高校对教师发表SSCI和A&HCI论文进行激励。激励制度主要体现在物质奖励和学术评价两个层面。从对国内某研究型大学文科教师深度访谈的情况来看,高校教师对人文社会科学国际发表及其激励制度持不同意见,虽一般不反对对国际发表进行物质奖励,但他们对国际发表在学术评价中的地位的认识存在较大分歧。高校在实施人文社会科学国际发表激励制度的过程中应理解和尊重差异性的存在,关注国际化与本土化的平衡。  相似文献   

Overhyped Fad or Missed Opportunity? A History of Academic Libraries and the Social Web     

Joseph Deodato 《Journal of Web Librarianship》2018,12(1):1-27

The emergence of social media has radically transformed the way we create and consume information. These changes have in turn given rise to new models of librarianship centered on principles of participation, interaction, and collaboration. Over the last decade, academic libraries have eagerly adopted social media as a means of enhancing services and connecting with a new generation of users. But how exactly has this technology changed libraries? In what ways has the social web transformed library services or our relationships with users? This article attempts to assess the impact of social media on academic libraries in the United States through a review of the literature published since 2005. In particular, it looks at how academic libraries have used social media to improve or develop new services. By comparing published case studies with the theoretical literature, this article seeks to separate theory from practice and determine the extent to which the social web has transformed library practice. The author concludes that, despite several noteworthy examples, the majority of social library applications ultimately fail to live up to the transformative potential promised within the literature and that this failure may have more to do with philosophical rather than technical limitations.  相似文献
