The ideal source: A reexamination of source credibility measurement

This article investigates the assumption that extreme ratings on the semantic differential are preferable and that common agreement exists among users in the interpretation of items. These assumptions were investigated by measuring ideal ratings for three source types.     

Denying rumors of organizational change: A higher source is not always better

Source appropriateness in denying rumors of organizational change was investigated in a laboratory context. As predicted, results revealed that the denial by the source highest in organizational position was not the most effective. Instead, the source most successful in reducing anxiety associated with the rumor and belief in the rumor was the one whose position level matched the scope of the rumor.     

Immediate and delayed effects of interest cues and engagement cues on students' affective learning

This experiment tested the effects of teacher immediacy, use of organizational lecture cues, and stuaent notetaking on students’ affective learning both immediately and one week after viewing an experimentally manipulated lecture. Results of the experiment suggested that teacher immediacy had the greatest effect on student affect and that this effect was stable over time. Additionally, an interaction was detected where students viewing the lectures with high immediacy but without organizational cues had sharper declines in affect than students viewing the high immediacy/with cues lectures.     

Effects of communication environment,immediacy, and communication apprehension on cognitive and affective learning

This study explores relationships among immediacy, communication apprehension, and learning outcomes between two class formats: mixed-size sections (i.e., large-lecture/break-out sections) versus self-contained sections. The results indicated that students' cognitive learning outcomes were slightly greater in the mixed-size sections versus self-contained sections. In addition, affective learning decreased for all students from the first day of class, though it decreased slightly more for students in the large-lecture/break-out sections. When the teacher was perceived as highly immediate, however, there was no difference in affective learning due to format.     

Big Deal — good deal? Or is there a better deal?

The purchase ‘en bloc’ by library consortia of all journals published by one publisher – the so‐called ‘Big Deal’ – is bad for small publishers and for large libraries even if – in the short term – good for large publishers and for small libraries. The publishing and library communities need to find alternative purchasing models that provide better deals for those disadvantaged by the prevalence of the ‘Big Deal’ while retaining the benefit of scale in negotiation and supply.

中介性不是图书馆的本质属性

文章认为，虽然图书馆属于中介机构，发挥中介作用，但是，中介性只是图书馆的基本属性，而不是图书馆的本质属性。因为中介性不为图书馆所独有，不具备“专指性”和“唯一性”。     

"政治家办报"思想的常与变

作为党性原则的重要组成部分,"政治家办报"思想体现了党对新闻工作者的政治要求,反映着政治与新闻的特殊关系.本文从分析历史语境的角度,在还原毛泽东提出"政治家办报"的背景之基础上,考察其思想脉络和主要所指;并沿着我国社会主义改革和发展轨迹,梳清邓小平、江泽民、胡锦涛等历届党的领导人在继承"政治家办报"思想的同时,赋予其时代创新元素和不同政治承载;坚持"政治家办报"思想,为全球化语境下营造有利的国际舆论环境提供一种新的思路.     

《出版笔记》不只是本笔记

无论是从内容还是从形式来看,刘杲同志的这本《出版笔记》(河北教育出版社,2006年8月)都是一本沉甸甸的著作.里面收编了作者从《刘杲出版文集》(中国书籍出版社,1996年7月)和《刘杲出版论集》(湖北人民出版社,1998年)之后论述出版、发行、编辑、版权、序跋等文章以及访谈、书信等二百多篇,涉及出版工作的方方面面,所议广泛、具体,独具见识,而作者却只称之为"笔记",可说是另一种含意的"名不副实".

此文献非彼文献——档案学与图书馆学关于文献的术语定义与应用比较

"文献"是一个集合概念,是档案文献、图书馆文献的属概念.档案文献和图书馆文献是"文献"的子集.实践中,两种类型的文献存在定义上不精准,使用上"同语异意,异语同意""用而不定"现象.从种属关系入手,准确定义两种类型的文献术语,是档案学和图书馆学共同的使命与任务.

Considerations for creating library learning spaces within a hierarchy of learning space attributes

University libraries struggle to keep up with rapidly changing technology and the associated change in teaching strategy. Most administrators and librarians are often not trained to assess space needs and struggle to reassign library spaces for non-traditional library use. As such, they often embark on expensive and time-consuming feasibility studies, using (typically) hard-earned monies to complete the research or to pilot a new space. What academic research library administrators and staff lack is guidance for discovering and planning needed renovations and improvements in aging library facilities. The purpose of this research project was to develop a set of considerations that can be used by library staff to self-analyze existing academic library spaces and identify areas that can be effectively improved for student benefit. The end result is a series of hierarchical self-analysis space considerations with a structured framework based on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The results of this research use evidence-based design to facilitate important conversations, and provide an organized quick reference checklist of various considerations for library administrators and facility managers as they navigate the world of twenty-first century pedagogy and student learning.

Rhetoric versus reality: a reexamination of access to U.S. government information during the presidency of Ronald Reagan

This article examines information policies implemented during the administration of President Ronald Reagan. Of special interest is an analysis of OMB Circular A-130 and the assumptions that underlay its mandates. In addition, a rhetorical analysis of articles from the period is undertaken to examine the assumptions authors used in their defense of or arguments against U.S. federal information policy of the time. Finally, an analysis of the budget of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), the number of items distributed to depository libraries, and the sales of the Government Printing Office (GPO) is made to determine changes as a result of the implemented policies.
