Building Research Competencies in Canadian Academic Libraries: The CARL Librarians' Research Institute

This article overviews work by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) to build the workforce competencies and capacity of academic librarians in respect of librarian research skills. CARL's Librarians' Research Institute (LRI) is reviewed and evaluated as a case study example of strategic and collaborative workforce capacity building. The CARL LRI offers a model for possible replication by others seeking to build workforce competencies and capacity through collaborative action.     

Faculty Perceptions of Loughborough's Online Reading List System (LORLS) at Dublin Business School (DBS)

Using a mixed methods research approach this study explores faculty perceptions of LORLS at DBS. Data generated by the study will inform advocacy, marketing and training initiatives to promote the platform. The study concludes with a number of deductive and inductive findings. The first is that although DBS faculty are highly predisposed to using LORLS, there are a number of variables that impact its use that must be considered in the context of advocacy, marketing and training activities. Grounded theory analysis of the focus group data also revealed that faculty would like LORLS to have greater interoperability with the virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle. A key output of the study is a LORLS Process Implementation Chart for proposed inclusion on the LORLS developers' implementation blog to assist other organizations with LORLS adoption. The chart synthesizes the key findings of the literature review and of the data generated in this study.     

Cats,Comics, and Knausgård: Promoting Student Reading at a U.K. Academic Library with a Leisure Reading Collection

This case study describes the creation of a leisure reading collection in the Clifford Whitworth library at the University of Salford. It briefly surveys existing literature on leisure reading collections and looks at the growing interest among U.K. academic libraries in recreational reading. It considers the reasons for promoting reading as a leisure activity to students and describes the processes of selecting, purchasing, and marketing the collection at Salford. It also considers possible future developments for the collection and the evaluation of the library's attempts to encourage a culture of reading among Salford students. The positive response to the collection suggests the development of leisure reading is a worthwhile activity for academic libraries to focus on and the study contains useful information for others who are interested in creating a similar collection.

社会化阅读中的角色——基于大学生微信阅读的个案研究

[目的/意义]作为一种集体的阅读方式,社会化阅读存在着不同的角色,这些角色反映了读者之间的行为差异,影响着阅读过程中知识的交流。从社会网络的视角识别读者的角色分类及其不同作用,有助于了解社会化阅读共同体中的知识传播模式,提高阅读资源的交流和知识传播的效率以及社会化阅读的成效。[方法/过程]基于整体社会网的视角,针对一个大学本科二年级的班级进行个案研究,以问卷的方式收集该班级全体成员微信朋友圈中阅读与交流的数据,基于块模型以及结沟洞理论,剖析读者之间的角色差异。[结果/结论]在社会化阅读过程中,不同角色在连接不同子群及信息传递方面存在差异,对阅读网络的产生和发展有着不同的影响。在社会化阅读群体中,需要厘清群体的角色分类,提高不同角色的读者在阅读共同体中的参与度,建立更为稳定的社会化阅读共同体,促进阅读交互的有效进行和整个群体的知识交流。     

学术期刊编校质量审读误判的消极影响及应对策略

学术期刊编校质量审读误判的消极影响极大.本文简要分析编校质量在审读评价体系中所占的重要地位,指出了审读误判消极影响,并提出了消除审读误判的策略,即:挑选适合的审读专家,并对其进行培训、动员,创新期刊编校质量的审读形式,审读结果发回期刊编辑部确认没有任何误判之后再公布,审读结束后对审读专家进行考核等.     

深阅读:概念构建与路径探索

深阅读是多学科讨论的热点概念,当前社会面临“深阅读危机”,促进深阅读已成为全民阅读推广的核心任务,但至今未见对深阅读的明确界定和具体阐释。现有研究对深阅读的理解主要有三个维度:与信息获取相关,与感受相关,与交流相关;而“参与性”是深阅读的基本属性。鉴于深阅读既是主体的参与行为,又是外部环境的作用结果,本文根据“生成认知”理论将深阅读定义为:读者这一具有心智能力的有机体与适合其条件的阅读对象相遇,在适宜的情境下产生积极的行为动力,进而发展而来的高参与度的阅读行为。文章剖析了深阅读对读者和社会的当代意义,认为数字时代深阅读的意义在于其具有“复合”价值,而新文本、新读者、新环境召唤着新型深阅读,应以创造相遇、丰富体验、回归对话为导向开展阅读推广工作。图1。参考文献 53。
