Understanding Visitor Comments: The Case of Flight Time Barbie

Many museums use comment cards, visitor books, and bulletin boards to capture the reactions of visitors. Whether they are collected, counted, skimmed, read, or simply filed, the utility of these documents is rarely questioned. This paper suggests some pros and cons of comment systems and presents an analysis of the comments on an exhibition, Flight Time Barbie, at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC. The responses to this exhibition included judgments about the subject matter of the exhibition, opinions about its presentation, and remarks regarding its appropriateness to the museum. The paper concludes by suggesting a practical approach to the analysis of visitor comments.

Using Course Syllabi to Develop Collections and Assess Library Service Integration

ABSTRACT

Ria Lukes and Angie Thorpe, librarians from Indiana University Kokomo, presented a conference session exploring the use of course syllabi as a core tool for measuring and enhancing library support of curriculum needs and service integration. The researchers described their process and the results from a review of 477 syllabi collected from numerous departments spanning diverse disciplines at their institution. Their findings demonstrate how syllabi may be used to identify collection weaknesses, discover misconceptions about library holdings and services, and ultimately serve as a starting point to interact with faculty and librarians to improve and clarify library holdings, services, and outreach initiatives.     

建设高校图书馆成为地方文物文献的收藏博览中心

作为历史研究中不可或缺的环节，地方现代史的收集、整理和馆藏应提到较高的重视程度；高校图书馆，特别是中小城市的高校图书馆，长期以来只是学校的图书信息中心，而在校园文化建设中没有起到应有的作用。本文提出将地方高校图书馆建成当地文物文献的收藏和博览中心，既服务于地方的文化建设，又塑造高校的人文精神，形成具有地方特色的高校文化。

试论“电视知识分子”

“电视知识分子”是法国著名社会学家布尔迪厄在批评电视固有的弊端时提出的。这一概念的出场语境既是现代社会大众传媒霸权盛行的一个表征，又是知识分子如何在坚守学术理想和学术操守中与时俱进的一个深刻命题。提高电视的文化品位和人文力度的关键之一，恰恰在于应该给知识分子提供更多的在电视上出镜的机会，使他们能够充分利用电视传播这一影响最大的公共空间，将学术话语变为电视话语。研究“电视知识分子”问题，应当坚持从社会经济关系中找出其具有终极意义的经济原因和历史唯物主义的基本原则。     

Teaching and Transforming Through Stories: An Exploration of Macro- and Micro-Narratives as Teaching Tools

Narratives are one of the most powerful teaching tools available and are often regarded as central to the learning process. We investigate the role of narrative in adult learning in library instructional contexts, introducing the concepts of micro- and macro-narratives and illustrating these ideas using relevant teaching examples. Macro-narratives are stories that are common across many cultures and contain universal themes and lessons. Micro-narratives are stories that are uniquely relevant to the members of a particular group. We argue that both types can be used to create meaningful library learning experiences.

Is Automated Journalistic Writing Less Biased? An Experimental Test of Auto-Written and Human-Written News Stories

ABSTRACT

By administering an online experiment, this study examined how source and journalistic domains affect the perceived objectivity, message credibility, medium credibility, bias, and overall journalistic quality of news stories among an adult sample (N?=?370) recruited using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) service. Within the framework of the cognitive authority theory, the study found auto-written news stories were rated as more objective, credible (both message and medium credibility), and less biased. However, significant difference was found between a combined assessment condition (news stories with source and author information) and a message only assessment condition (news stories without source and author information) in the ratings of objectivity and credibility, but not bias. Moreover, significant differences were found in the objectivity and credibility ratings of auto-written and human-written news stories in the journalistic domains of politics, finance and sports news stories. In auto-written news stories, sports news stories were rated more objective and credible, while financial news stories were rated as more biased. In human-written stories, financial news stories were rated as more objective and credible. However, political news stories were rated as more biased among human-written news stories, and in cases where auto-written and human-written stories were combined.     

LibGuides by Design: Using Instructional Design Principles and User-Centered Studies to Develop Best Practices

LibGuides are an essential resource in academic libraries. Although librarians use LibGuides primarily as instructional tools there is little discussion about the application of pedagogical and learner-centered design principles to the design of LibGuides. Current research focuses almost exclusively on issues of usability, resulting in best practices that are user-centered but not necessarily learner-centered. This paper fills the gap in the literature by integrating the findings from user studies with instructional design principles to propose best practices for LibGuides that are both user- and learner-centered. The ADDIE model of instructional design is used as a procedural framework for implementing these best practices.
