The Effect of Gender and Minority Status on Salary in Private and Public ARL Libraries

The purpose of this study was to identify pay disparities within gender and race using private and public Association of Research Libraries (ARL) libraries as a lens. In this study, 44 ARL libraries participated, leading to 1099 usable responses to our survey. The findings indicate that race and gender pay disparities are larger at private libraries than at public libraries. However, disparity levels at both public and private ARL libraries are smaller than the national averages for all professions and continue to shrink.     

“图书馆学”一词的引进与我国图书馆学体系的初步形成

据目前所见文献,“图书馆学”一词最早引入我国是谢荫昌于1910年10月发表的连载译文《图书馆教育》,三个月后,《图书馆教育》一书正式出版。随着清末民初我国图书馆事业的发展,图书馆教育和图书馆学研究均取得进展。1920年代,文华图书科的创办、北京高等师范学校举办的暑期图书馆学讲习会等,标志着我国图书馆学学科的确立。我国图书馆学人在吸纳国外图书馆学体系的基础上,逐步补充发展,1934年以刘国钧为核心创建的最具代表意义的图书馆要素说,标志着我国图书馆学体系的初步形成。此外,关于“图书馆学是一门科学吗？”的疑问,以李景新、李惠君等为代表的图书馆学人从图书馆学的科学性、为什么研究图书馆学、研究图书馆学有什么用处等方面予以解答。参考文献36。     

Topological metrics in academic genealogy graphs

Academic genealogy aims to structure and analyze the mentoring relationships between advisor and advisee. The representation of this structure results in academic genealogy graphs. For the analysis and characterization of these graphs, we present a set of metrics and their corresponding mirror metrics that capture the characteristics of its topological structure and represent them as quantitative attributes. The metrics of fecundity, fertility, descendants, cousins, generations, and relationships consider the descendants of the academics represented in the graph. The mirror metric of these topological metrics considers the ascendancy of academics. Individually, the metrics have strong semantic intuition and define characteristics regarding the performance in the mentoring of an academic. Together, the metrics are useful for the identification, characterization, and classification of communities and their members. The genealogical data available through the platforms of the Mathematics Genealogy Project and the Academic Family Tree were used as case studies. Two hundred thirteen thousand and 675,000 academic records were obtained for each project. We analyze the capacity of characterization of the metrics using the structuring of a similarity graph and through the distribution of the nodes in principal components. We observed that the set of metrics is capable of capturing the configuration pattern existing in genealogy graphs independently of its scale.     

Seven steps to help you become more knowledgeable about U.S. copyright law

As copyright law is so closely ingrained with library services, it is important for librarians to learn about it and how to balance the law with the needs of users. Unfortunately, many Library and Information Science degree programs do not address copyright issues as part of course curriculum. As such, librarians may have to educate themselves about the law. This article will identify seven steps librarians can take to facilitate this process.     

A Library Research Course for Graduate and Professional Students in Communication Sciences and Disorders

SUMMARY

This article describes the formation and content of a required library and information research course for graduate and professional students enrolled in the Communication Sciences and Disorders Master of Arts degree program at Western Washington University. The course was created as a result of library assessment, student feedback, and faculty observations. In place since 2003, the curriculum continues to evolve and is sustained through the collaborative efforts of the library and the department faculty.     

Building Collections through Purchase Suggestions in Academic Libraries

Abstract

This research studies the fields contained in “Suggest a Purchase” forms from 100 university libraries, focusing on the data they can provide to subject specialists to make decisions about collection development. The research will consider whether the content of “Suggest a Purchase” forms may be used to aid subject specialists and collection development librarians to make decisions concerning the purchasing of books and other materials. Statistical evidence gathered through the “Suggest a Purchase” forms is analyzed to justify the relevancy of specific fields. The research examines whether patron-initiated purchases may offer data concerning collection gaps and trends in users’ needs. The paper concludes with recommendations for best practices in the design and content of patron suggestion forms.     

Plagiarism and copyright: Best practices for classroom education

Plagiarism and copyright infringement are terms that most students are familiar with, and when asked, most students will readily express the sentiment that plagiarizing the work of others or committing copyright infringement is wrong. Despite students' basic understanding of these concepts, many struggle to put them into practice. Often this is a result of students not having enough knowledge about how to cite sources or how copyrighted works can legally be reused for scholarly purposes. This article identifies a way in which copyright and plagiarism can be taught as well as a process students can work through when addressing these issues.     

《中文图书引文索引·人文社会科学》示范数据库研制过程、意义及其启示

学术图书是学者研究成果的集中体现。作者在写作过程中,参考、引证了大量文献,将这些被引文献析出即形成索引。因此,将精选学术图书作为来源文献,创建图书引文数据库是现实可行的。基于这一设想,并付之于实践,即形成了《中文图书引文索引》(CBkCI)。该数据库以精选学术图书作为来源文献(统计源),统计、分析图书作者引用图书、期刊论文、报告等所有文献资料的情况。CBkCI示范数据库的研制成功,不仅填补了国内在图书引文领域的空白,促进学术图书出版质量的提升,而且有助于图书馆进行图书采访,精选馆藏,并为学术评价提供坚实的基础。     

An evaluation study of the navigation and search systems on two academic websites and Google

Organizing information on a Website is vital to retrieve information from Websites and the Internet. This study investigates the establishing of navigation and search systems needed to organize information on academic Websites, and addresses key questions in relation to information access and to the use of these systems. This is achieved through the evaluation of two Websites (Dhofar in Oman and Monash in Australia) and their comparison with Google, using standard criteria identified in the literature. The outcomes will support designers of academic Websites and will support students in accessing and retrieving information. The main findings of this research is that Google and Monash University Websites have established search and navigation systems that support Website accessibility, which enhance site usability while Dhofar University Website uses navigation systems only because of content reasons.
