The Contrarian Manager: The Importance of Alternative Viewpoints

Contrarians are valuable members of any management team since they can help avoid potential mistakes by presenting alternative viewpoints. Management literature and general opinion are overly weighted to stress harmony and consensus as organizational values. The contrarian is an antidote to this group think that can take action without sufficient critical analysis, overlook threats to the organization, predict overly optimistic results, and hamper diversity. Contrarian should present well-reasoned positions, choose their battles wisely, and avoid being shrill. They should also recognize those cases when a decision must be made quickly. They are more successful when they are recognized as productive members of the team and supportive of the organization’s goals and objectives.

Summary

The Internet has brought great changes to reference services in academic libraries. One significant impact has been the growth and evolution of the reference librarian's role as teacher. This article reviews the literature on the librarian's increased teaching role with the emergence of the Internet, discusses the changing student populations who require a librarian's instruction and the skills that students need to achieve information literacy, and reviews how the Internet has affected current teaching strategies including classroom instruction, Web-based instruction, and efforts to integrate information literacy instruction into the curriculum. In addition, it also introduces emerging Internet technologies with their potential impact on teaching and instruction. The authors conclude that the reference librarian's teaching role will further increase with the development of information technologies.     

The Internet Job Search:

To many users, the Internet is an unfriendly and unusable network of computers, but for the job hunter, it contains a multitude of important information resources. Position listings, resumewriting assistance, company profiles, and other relevant pieces of information are available to the user who can locate them. This article outlines concepts and search strategies which can be used to find this information utilizing a variety of Internet tools and resources.     

The Internet and OCLC:

The Internet has provided OCLC with another delivery mechanism to support its chartered public purpose of ex- access to the world's information and reducing rising information costs. This network of networks has helped OCLC and its member libraries reach electronically a new audience of end users with new products and new technologies designed especially for them. OCLC offers three reference products via the Internet: The First - Search Catalog, the EPIC service, and The Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials. All can be accessed using the Internet from an enduser's home, office, dorm room, laboratory, hotel room-or any other location with a modem nearby-as well as from a library. FirstSearch is a new online information service designed for library patrons, with an end-user interface that allows patrons to move through the online search process in just a few simple steps, without special training or online searching experience. The EPIC service is an online information service with a command interface designed for the advanced searcher. Both of these services offer access to a number of databases, including the OCLC Online Union Catalog, an electronic card catalog of 28 million records used by more than 16,000 libraries.

The Internet and International Regulatory Issues

The Internet has emerged as a dynamic new communications medium at an astounding pace in recent years. It enables the exchange of text, sound, video and images between millions of individuals from all around the world in a manner not possible via traditional media. But along with the growth of these services and the benefits they can provide for enhanced communication, entertainment and educational services, concerns have been raised around the world about the content of these services. The nature of these concerns often reflects the different cultural, religious and political values of the international community. The paper outlines the preliminary findings of a pilot study presently carried out by ABA. It considers the issues related to the content of on-line services, the impact of recent technical developments such as Platform for Content Selection (PICS) and content labeling. It compares regulatory responses in four countries and identifies areas of potential international co-operation.
