In the United States, Congress has had a long-standing interest in consumer privacy and the extent to which company practices are based on fair information practices. Previously, public policy was largely informed by anecdotal evidence about the effectiveness of industry self-regulatory programs. However, the Internet has made it possible to unobtrusively sample web sites and their privacy disclosures in a way that is not feasible in the offline world. Beginning in 1998, the Federal Trade Commission relied upon a series of three surveys of web sites to assess whether organizations post online privacy disclosures and whether these disclosures represent the U.S. definition of fair information practices. While each year's survey has provided an important snapshot of U.S. web-site practices, there has been no longitudinal analysis of the multiyear trends. This study compares a subset of equivalent individual-level web-site data for the 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 web surveys. Implications for using this type of research to inform public policy are discussed. 相似文献

League tables that rank universities may use reputational measures, performance measures, or both. Each type of measure has
strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, we rank disciplines in Australian universities both by reputation, using an international
survey of senior academics, and with actual performance measures. We then compare the two types of measures to see how closely
they match. The criterion we use for both sets of measures is ‘international academic standing’. We find a high correlation
between the survey results and the various measures of research performance. We also find a correlation between the quality
of student intake and the survey rankings, but the satisfaction levels of recent graduates do not correlate well with the
rankings by academics. We then construct an overall measure of performance, which gives very similar rankings to the survey
results, especially for the top-ranked institutions.

Pepperdine University's six international campus libraries are not staffed by librarians. However, the library serves overseas students with small print collections, course specific LibGuides and highly trained student assistants. A goal of the LibGuides and student workers is to make students aware of library resources and services while studying abroad. Students studying overseas were surveyed to determine their use and awareness of library resources. In addition, to determine if the library could have an important role in supporting study abroad programs, students were asked if they had research assignments that required outside resources. While the results of the survey revealed that the majority of students are aware of library resources and services, the library should take additional steps to better serve overseas students. 相似文献

Weighting adjustments are used in some studies to compensate for biased estimators produced by survey nonresponse. Using data
from the 2004 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the NSSE poststratification weighting algorithm, this study
found that weighting adjustments were needed for some, but not all institutions. Unfortunately, no simple criterion for determining
when weighting adjustments were needed could be identified. In addition, weighting adjustments reduced the precision of estimators
for a majority of the institutions. Based on these findings, institutions and researchers concerned about compensating for
nonresponse would be well advised to carefully evaluate the need for, and consequences of, weighting before employing weighting
adjustments. 相似文献

Abstract A survey was conducted in Spring 1999 to assess the library support services for distance learning within the Texas A&M University System. Graduate students actively enrolled at remote sites in one or more courses taught on the system's interactive video network were surveyed. Results of this survey provide insight for improving library services. “People want what they want when they want it. They don't want something else, they don't want less than they want, and they certainly don't want it at some other time” (Forsha, 1992). 相似文献

Abstract This survey examines the basic needs of Harvard Law Faculty for information about new books and current journal articles. The purpose of this survey was to examine new media and technology in order to develop better current awareness tools, to better utilize the online catalog as a method of delivering current information to faculty, and to produce a new publication that fills in the gaps left by Current Index to Legal Periodicals and other sources. This survey looks at the production and circulation of photocopied pages of law reviews, recent acquisition lists, document delivery and interdisciplinary current awareness needs. 相似文献

Abstract One of the most effective means to evaluate an institution's progress and operational efficacy is to compare the institution with others that engage in providing the same or similar products or services. Such a comparative analysis enables one to ascertain “how we stack up against the competition.” It also enables one to draw upon the ideas, innovations and approaches utilized by others. With these goals in mind, a comparative analysis was performed of law library support services offered throughout the PAC TEN law libraries. Additionally written survey results were obtained from Big TEN law schools in order to broaden the comparative analysis. 相似文献

A systematic analysis of quality of teaching surveys 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

All tertiary institutions in Australia use the same Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ); however, for the internal evaluation of teaching they use their own surveys. This paper performs an analysis of the internal Quality of Teaching Surveys (QTS) used in Australian universities. We classify the questions within the QTS surveys. This classification is used to explore how different universities’ surveys are similar to each other. We find that some universities use a QTS that is quite distinct from other universities. We also investigate whether there is a particular pattern to the types of questions used in the surveys. We find that there are some question types that are employed widely in a typical survey and others that are not. This analysis can be used by universities to determine how their surveys compare to their peer institutions and other institutions across Australia. 相似文献

South-East Europe (SEE) is one of the geographic regions in the world which is lagging behind positive global Information Literacy (IL) developments. An informed, authoritative and enlightened understanding of the state of Information Literacy conceptual understanding and best practices across the region was recently provided by two important UNESCO co-sponsored workshops that addressed specific IL challenges in this part of Europe. The first meeting, the Workshop on Information Literacy Initiatives for Central and South-East European Countries, co-organized by UNESCO, with the support of the CEI (Central European Initiatives, an arm of the EU), took place in 2006 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The second, also co-organized by UNESCO, was held in Ankara, Turkey, as a part of a series of eleven Training-the-Trainers in Information Literacy («TTT») workshops that covered all regions of the world. This paper will review and analyse some of the main policy agreements reached by the participants at these meetings, as well as best practices shared by the participants at the two workshops, and discuss remaining Information Literacy advocacy and promotional barriers. The authors will endeavour to identify region-specific barriers to IL in the SEE region and, based on the aforementioned Ankara and Ljubljana workshop outcomes, define focal points for future local and regional IL events, meetings and other initiatives that could and should be taken. 相似文献
