Data-Driven Decision Making in Electronic Collection Development

ABSTRACT

As budgets have tightened, library administrators are looking for more data to help them in making difficult collections decisions. They then often provide these data to higher-level administrators outside the library. When collecting library data, several questions come to mind: Who collects the data? What kinds of data exist? When are data collected? Where does the responsibility of data collection reside? How are data collected and interpreted? In this article, the author aims to address all these questions so as to give the reader a sense of direction in how these data can be applied to drive collections and collection-development policy.     

Intramedia Moderation,Electoral Ambivalence,and Electoral Decision Making

The majority of political communication research either studies a single media outlet in isolation of other outlets or focuses on the competing effects of multiple outlets. This study uses 2004 National Annenberg Election Survey data to go beyond these typical approaches to show the moderation-based complementary effects of two-sided messages (e.g., network TV news) relative to one-sided oriented outlets (e.g., FOX News) on attitudinal ambivalence. In addition, this study places ambivalence within a larger communicative process and shows that ambivalence mediates the relationship between consumption of political media and when citizens decide who to support during elections.

数字化过程中的管理决策与技术建议

在文献数字化的输入阶段,模数转换方式、扫描模式和分辨率的选择,是决定数字化源图像质量的关键,而源图像质量将直接影响创建于屏幕显示、打印及其派生的图像质量等。由此,提出扫描对象与最小分辨率的建议、图片数字化的格式化建议、文献数字化模式和技术指标。表3。参考文献8。     

Decision Making in the Recataloging of Serials

Catalogers make decisions constantly, especially when recataloging serials. This article explores the decisions that need to be made when recataloging serials, within the framework of a decision-making model used in business. For catalogers, this model consists of becoming aware that a recataloging problem exists, defining what the problem is, analyzing the alternatives for handling it, selecting the best solution based on the library's goals and resources, implementing it, and obtaining feedback. Then the cycle begins again wilh new problems.     

决策过程的知识价值链

知识价值链是面向决策过程智力支持和组织知识管理重要内容,它将静态的组织知识与动态的组织决策结合起来,在最恰当的时候以最合适的方式,将最合适的知识提供给最合适的人,从而可以精确控制决策过程,保证决策的科学性和有效性。图3。参考文献18。

Individual Motivations and Information Source Relevance in Political Decision Making

This study explored citizens' political involvement, their attention to candidates ' issue stands or personal qualities, and their evaluations of the relevance of different sources of information to political decision making. A telephone survey of a random sample (N = 420) of registered voters in a Southwestern city indicated that involvement did not associate with evaluations of the relevance of newspapers or television news to political decision making and negatively associated with evaluations of the relevance of advertising to political decision making. In addition, respondents ' attention to candidates 'personal qualities positively associated with evaluations of advertising relevance to political decision making, whereas their attention to candidates ' issue stands positively associated with their evaluations of the relevance of interpersonal communication to political decision making. These results suggest that involved voters receive little benefit from political advertisements, whereas voters who attend to candidate images find them informative. Interpersonal communication is an especially important source of election information for highly involved voters and for voters who attend to candidate issues.     

Decisional Regret Theory: Reducing the Anxiety About Uncertain Outcomes During Group Decision Making Through Shared Counterfactual Storytelling

People want to live in a predictable world, yet regularly face uncertain outcomes from decision choices. Here, a decision-making theory of communication is proposed. Faced with decisions, people experience anxiety as they anticipate choice-regret. The communicative dynamic of Decisional Regret Theory (DERT) is the production, sharing, and reconstruction of predecisional imaginary narratives that allow alternative decisional outcomes to be anticipated. DERT predicts a type of shared communication (counterfactual storytelling) under specific circumstances (anticipation of making a meaningful decision). It further predicts listener responses: (a) reproducing the story, (b) altering the story, (c) creating an alternative story, or (d) disconfirming the story. Exemplars of counterfactual communication during jury decision making are offered, together with a model describing the emergence of group counterfactual storytelling.     

系统动力学仿真模型在决策支持中的作用——以中国可持续发展模型在CO2排放决策中的应用为例

系统动力学模型是一种重要的模型方法。文章主要介绍了中国科学技术信息研究所开发的中国可持续发展模型,并以水泥和钢铁行业CO2排放模型作为案例,分析了模型在CO2减排中的政策意义。在不同的情景设定下,中国水泥和钢铁行业的CO2排放会有很大的不同,每一种情景都对应着相应的政策选择。利用需求面和技术面的组合政策,有利于我国整体的CO2减排。     

政府危机决策信息流研究

目前我国政府危机决策信息流的特点有:危机信息无专门部门采集、分析和处理;各部门收集到的危机信息很难进行及时沟通与共享;危机信息在到达政府部门前发生大量畸变。政府危机决策经历4个阶段:感知阶段、分析阶段、确认阶段和启动阶段。运用信息论中的科南特模型,对政府危机决策信息流模型进行量化,从而分析政府危机决策及其相关问题。图2。表1。参考文献7。

Anonymity and Interaction in an Online Breast Cancer Social Support Group

Despite the benefits of using online social support groups, prior research does not provide a solid understanding of the online factors related to an individual’s supportive interaction. Accordingly, this study aims to explore how various aspects of anonymity predict different levels of social support engagement. The current study uncovers that visually identifiable group members are more likely to get supportive responses than are visually anonymous members. Also, when support group members are visually and discursively identifiable, they are more likely to get supportive messages than those who are visually and discursively anonymous. Additionally, the more identifiable support group members are, the more they receive positive messages. Practical implications for the role of social support group members’ anonymity/identifiability on the overall social support process are presented.
