Improving ADA Access

Summary

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) motivated libraries all over the United States to evaluate their accommodations and services to patrons with disabilities. This article presents a case study of the Texas Tech University Libraries project to meet the needs of their patrons in relation to ADA. The study focuses on including adaptive technologies in the library environment to aid blind, hearing, visually and physically-impaired patrons and increasing library staff awareness of the needs of patrons with disabilities. Findings from the study will also benefit school, public, and special libraries that are evaluating their access for patrons with disabilities.     

Open vs. Closed Stacks for Academic Library Periodical Collections

Two prevalent systems of organizing bound and current periodical collections in academic libraries are the open stack and the closed stack methods. This paper examines, by means of a survey, which method is used by selected two-year colleges in New York State. The initial purpose of the survey was to determine whether open or closed stacks were a significant factor in the loss of periodicals. The survey was sent to 31 libraries; 27 libraries responded, all apparently satisfied with their current system. The response showed that when theft was a problem, libraries with open stacks noted a greater loss of periodicals.     

Using the EPPM to Create and Evaluate the Effectiveness of Brochures to Increase the Use of Hearing Protection in Farmers and Landscape Workers

The extended parallel process model was employed to increase intentions to use on-the-job hearing protection among agricultural workers. Brochures were designed to increase perceptions of the threat of hearing loss and the efficacy of hearing protection to avert hearing loss. Brochures were presented to one half of the sample in each population (farmers and landscapers), and a questionnaire was administered assessing perceptions of threat, efficacy, and intentions. The other half of each sample completed the questionnaire, and then received brochures. Results indicated that farmers were initially high in threat and efficacy perceptions, but brochure exposure resulted in higher intentions to use hearing protection. Landscapers perceived higher threat, efficacy, and intentions after being presented with the brochure. Results are discussed in terms of future research and practical application.

数字图书馆用户信息库的建设

用户信息资源是数字图书馆整体信息资源的有机组成部分,只有建设完善的用户信息库,才可以保证数字图书馆进行高效的信息服务。在用户信息库中应包含关键词、主题及用户的个人情况、用户的特定信息需求和信息行为描述等内容。建库的方法有直接法和间接法两种。表3。参考文献3。     

图书馆在志愿者服务活动中的侵权赔偿责任与风险救济

图书馆在开展志愿者服务过程中可能发生侵权行为。由于图书馆、志愿者和读者之间存在特定的侵权赔偿关系,所以图书馆需要承担相应的侵权赔偿责任,面临着经济损失的风险。因此,图书馆应通过为志愿者提供人身意外伤害保险、与志愿者签订志愿服务书面协议等措施进行风险救济。     

基于重置成本视角的图书遗失赔偿制度思考

图书外借遗失,理当进行相应赔偿,国内众多图书馆采用以图书原价为基数乘以一定倍数的方法计算赔偿额,而用这种简单倍率制算出的赔偿额往往与图书馆实际损失相去甚远。而从重置成本角度分析图书遗失赔偿,则可厘清图书赔偿过程的真实成本构成,确定一个合理的赔偿额度,为图书馆和遗失者之间达成平衡,这有助于构筑和谐图书馆氛围。

图书馆危机管理的基本概念及内容

图书馆危机是指对图书馆系统造成严重威胁或破坏、需要图书馆人立即反应的高度震荡状态。它的特点包括隐蔽性、长期性、复合性、难恢复性。根据危机诱因、危机发生发展特点、危机发生领域、危机中主体的一致态度等标准，图书馆危机可分为不同类型。而图书馆危机管理是指对图书馆运行中出现的危机因子和危机事件从发生到消亡全程管理实践。文章比较了图书馆危机管理与相关管理（灾害管理、风险管理、突发事件管理、问题管理）的关系，提出图书馆危机管理的内容应包括五个方面：树立正确的危机观和危机管理观、图书馆危机管理的基础工作、图书馆日常危机管理、图书馆危机事件管理、图书馆危机后续管理。

Conversations among Coal Miners in a Campaign to Promote Hearing Protection

Although working in a coal mine can diminish one's hearing capabilities by 50%, not until 2000 did federal laws require companies to establish noise standards in order to help prevent hearing loss among their employees. Since then, researchers have worked with safety administrators to develop effective messages promoting hearing protection and testing. This research assessed the effects of campaign messages on discussing campaign postcards and talking with others about a helmet-sticker incentive. The results, which are discussed with a focus on future campaigns, indicate that hearing-related attitudes, intentions, and behaviors are the most influenced by messages that were affectively neutral and least influenced by messages that were affectively negative.

Library Book Theft and Audits in University Libraries of Pakistan

Librarians are the custodians of library materials. University libraries have a large number of materials in their collections; these collections have different challenges to maintain their existence and utilization. Security and protection of these resources is a difficult task. Book theft or loss is a phenomenon naturally associated with libraries and librarians. This article is an attempt to provide an overview of existing conditions of theft and loss of library material and to describe a major initiative that has been taken to overcome the situation. This study was designed with survey methodology and circulated to library professionals at 172 university and degree awarding institutions. There were 94 responses (54.65%) received. The study revealed that librarians faced objections from auditors and sometimes paid a penalty for stolen or lost books. The theft and loss of materials are examined critically by university management, library committees, and internal and external auditors. Some library professionals are required to pay from their own pockets for stolen and lost material. However, a few librarians write off library books as per Pakistan's Higher Education Commission (HEC) rule. Research highlighted that most libraries have not used technology such as RFID, 3M, or EM Tags for the security of books. An effective technological book security system minimizes loss and provides relief for librarians from audit issues and financial penalties.
