Collection Development Policies in Public Libraries in Australia: A Qualitative Content Analysis     

Matthew Kelly 《Public Library Quarterly》2013,32(1):44-62

The role that public library collection development policies play in guiding selectors and informing users has been promoted as a pillar of good professional practice. While these policies purport to open up the methods and the criteria used in selection so as to promote transparency and a sense of professional objectivity, how they actually are developed and put into practice has remained largely implicit in the research literature. This analysis revealed that policies tended to focus on local issues and remained heavily materials focused. How collections are developed to support user’s information needs and substantive issues associated with topicality are largely unarticulated.  相似文献

Delphi Method in Web Site Selection: Using the Experts     

《The Reference Librarian》2013,54(69-70):299-310

Summary

The development of Web sites is proceeding at an ever-quickening pace. Adult learners can benefit from the wealth of information accessible in both new sites and changing older sites. However, that excitement is tempered by frustration in following blind leads or encountering questionable quality. One approach is to stay abreast of the latest material by attempting to look at and read every new and modified site. However, time is finite, and many of our students have lives filled with conflicting needs. The Delphi method, a sociological research technique first developed in defense research, is used to elicit expert opinion as a short cut to evaluating Web sites. A specific example with business-related sites is presented as a test case in developing and applying the methodology. The use of Delphi, an oracle-based technique, seems quite appropriate as we assist our adult students to allocate their time wisely.  相似文献   

A Preliminary Analysis of Library Holdings as Compared to the Basic Resources for Pharmacy Education List     

K.T.L.V. Vaughan 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(3):328-341

The catalogs of 11 university libraries were analyzed against the Basic Resources for Pharmaceutical Education (BRPE) to measure the percent coverage of the core total list as well as the core sublist. There is no clear trend in this data to link school age, size, or rank with percentage of coverage of the total list or the “First Purchase” core list when treated as independent variables. Approximately half of the schools have significantly higher percentages of core titles than statistically expected. Based on this data, it is difficult to predict what percentage of titles on the BRPE a library will contain.  相似文献

足球运动身高体重选材理念的争议与探讨     

李光辉 《湖北体育科技》2013,32(1):42-45

青少年足球运动员的身高体重选材理念一直存在争议。学界和足球管理部门大多认为足球运动员的身高体重与运动成绩存在正相关,然而国内国际足球发展的实际表明并非完全如此,运动生物力学结合足球专项特征的分析表明高的身材和体重指标对运动员的平衡能力和快速移动身体的动作能力可能构成负面影响;在足球早期选材阶段对运动员的未来身高进行遗传估计完全多余,因此足球选材理念在身高体重指标方面可以尝试多元化。  相似文献

Relative age effects in Australian Football League National Draftees     

Aaron J. Coutts  Thomas Kempton  Roel Vaeyens 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(7):623-628

Abstract

This study examined the birth distribution for adolescent (i.e. <20 years) and mature age players (i.e. ≥20 years) selected in the Australian Football League (AFL) National Draft between 2001 and 2012. Birth-date information was accessed for all first time AFL national draftees and players were then classified as either adolescent (N = 736) or mature age (N = 70) draftees. Chi-squared analysis showed a clear bias in the birth distribution of adolescent draftees towards players born in the first part of the classification period for both quartile (P < 0.001) and half-year (P < 0.001) compared to the Australian national population. There was a reverse relative age effect (RAE) for mature age draftees, with a significant bias towards players born in the latter part of the selection period for both quartile (P = 0.047) and half-year (P = 0.028) compared to the Australian national population. The selection bias towards relatively older players in adolescent AFL draftees may be related to advanced physical and psychological maturity, and exposure to higher-level coaching compared to their younger counterparts. The reverse RAE in mature age draftees is a novel finding and supports the need for strategies to encourage continued participation pathways for talented Australian football players born later in the selection year.  相似文献
