Integrating 21st century access to ERIC services and resources

This paper explores issues surrounding the development of the ERIC dataset as it enters the 21^st Century. The central theme that runs throughout the analysis is the need for the dataset and the rich, growing array of Clearinghouse services to be integrated to provide a single end-user window into ERIC.     

ERIC on CD-ROM and RIE:

From September 1988 to October 1990, Houston Cole Library spent $4,852.00 for search fees for ERIC online. The popularity of the service was the stimulus to locate Cunds to purchase a workstation for ERIC on CD-ROM. The availability of a University faculty research grant provided the opportunity to fund the workstation and perform a research project dwing the transition. The author conducted a study comparing the ERIC print index, Resources in Education, to the ERIC index in CD-ROM format. The study contrasts the two formats in the areas of accwacy of results, time savings and user satisfaction.

ERIC user services: Changes and evaluation for the future

Presents findings on the state of ERIC user services and evaluation efforts performed so far. Recommends changes to strengthen ERIC’s competitive edge and identifies areas of user services critical to ERIC’s strategic goals. Offers an evaluation plan to produce benchmark data for future assessment and inform ERIC’s decision on its future direction.     

Living Our Mission: A Study of University Mission Building

At the same time that organizational communication and management scholars are focusing attention on trends of spirituality in the workplace, faith-based organizations are taking up the question of how they might maintain a distinct spiritual identity. For these institutions, communicating mission becomes the defining feature of institutional identity. Explicitly religious organizations provide a venue for understanding the implications of incorporating spirituality in organizational discourse. This empirical study explores a mission-building conference and examines the ways in which communicating a spiritual mission simultaneously enriches and constrains both the individual members and the organizations as a whole.

A Comparison of Indexing Consistency and Coverage in the AEI,ERIC and APAIS Databases

References indexed for the Australian Education Index (AEI) were sampled and compared where possible with the same references indexed for the ERIC and Australian Public Affairs Information Service (APAIS) database. An analysis of coverage of Australian references is presented. Indexing consistency figures for these references are shown to be 22% for ERIC/AEI and 18% for AEI/APAIS. In-depth searches for Australian material in education need to be run against both AEI and APAIS. A broad generic and free text approach is indicated for effective recall.

Academic Library Mission Statements,Web Sites,and Communicating Purpose

Continual changes in information technologies over the past three decades have wrought substantial changes in library services and in information-seeking behavior among the general public. Thus the necessity for libraries to utilize the internet to communicate with stakeholders is even more important for academic libraries, as the rate of internet usage among those with college degrees continues to outpace that of the general population. The online availability of a well-crafted mission statement is therefore crucial. This analysis of the web sites of 113 ARL academic libraries—an update of Kuchi's (2006) study—considers the inclusion (availability) and placement (accessibility) of mission statements on library web sites and provides insights into the academic library's use of such statements for communicating mission and purpose to different stakeholders.

Rights instruction for undergraduate students: Needs,trends, and resources

As librarians are increasingly identified as rights experts on campus, it is essential that they understand rights issues and how best to communicate them to a multitude of users. While scholarly literature contains many examples of librarians working with faculty on copyright issues regarding course materials, reserves, e-reserves, and intellectual property, there is far less documentation of the need for students, especially undergraduates, to understand their rights as creators and consumers of information. This article reviews relevant literature on librarian copyright skills, the need for copyright instruction, and current case studies and examples of copyright instruction for undergraduates.

Mission,Message, and Visitors: How Exhibit Philosophy Has Evolved at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Since the Monterey Bay Aquarium opened in 1984, its exhibit teams have been guided by an exhibit philosophy that is mission‐driven, message‐driven, and visitor‐driven. Balancing mission, message, and visitors over the years has meant that the exhibit philosophy has evolved as the aquarium learned about their visitors, changed their mission, and kept the focus on the Monterey Bay. Like many aquaria and zoos, MBA's mission has shifted from raising awareness about nature to advocating and inspiring conservation of nature. This article reviews the history of these changes from a developer's point of view and reports on how the aquarium is continuing to examine how mission, message, and visitors interrelate. The current challenge of inspiring visitors to care about the ocean and to take action on its behalf is proving to be the most difficult challenge yet.     

20世纪:上海的遗产与使命

从诸多侧面寻觅、审视20世纪上海社会的演变轨迹,已成为近十年来引起上海文化界、史学界格外关注的热点。一个城市短短百年的往事能引起当代人如此广泛持久的兴趣,这在国内似乎是独一无二的,在国外也属罕见。人们对这段即将逝去的上海百年史情有独钟,反映了对它未来的关注和临近选择的思考。20世纪的上海作为国际都会的新成员,它的崛起有哪些特点?它给中国留下什么遗产?它在国际都会系列中的定位如何?思考、理解这些问题也许需要经历比这段历史本身更长久的时间,但为此提供最初的基石,却理应成为当代上海史学界的责任之一。上海崛起于一块古…
