Applying Organization Theory to the Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Department

Abstract

Anticipating and adapting to change can prove challenging to interlibrary loan units. By incorporating organization theory into interlibrary loan operations, however, interlibrary loan practitioners at all staffing levels can discover new and more effective ways to respond to change. This article explores five organization theory topics as they apply to interlibrary loan: change, communication, culture, leadership, and motivation.     

Competition and the decline in Western television program popularity in Indonesia during the 1990s

Despite the country's population base of 240 million, Indonesian television has not been widely explored in academic and professional venues. This paper examines the impact of competition on the popularity of foreign programs in the Indonesian market during the mid-1990s. Analyzing recently released ratings data from a television ratings service, this paper suggests that competition has given rise to the popularity of local programs, while foreign program popularity has declined steeply during the same three year period. The findings also suggest that cultural proximity is a factor of the popularity of programs. By 1997, Asian programs outnumbered Western programs on the top 100 highest rated program lists in Indonesia. We explore implications of study findings for filling this void in the literature.     

Publishing 101: The Basics of Academic Publishing

Rolnik's preconference went well beyond the “business of publishing from a very basic perspective” as described in the conference program. Rolnik's preconference described the publishing market, operations within publishing companies, and how publishers find content. Dr. Peter Binfield, a guest speaker with expertise in society publishing, complemented the preconference.     

Beyond the Classroom: Fostering Soft Skills in Pre-Professional LIS Organizations

Are LIS graduates being adequately prepared to work in the information workplace? While students are absorbing valuable knowledge, library school curricula do not foster the essential soft skills students need to thrive in their post-graduate careers. However by being an active member of a graduate student organization, future LIS professionals can gain and hone effective soft skills, such as communication, initiative, curiosity, understanding, and the means to deal with mistakes, while adopting responsibilities that will all ultimately translate to success in the professional workplace, particularly in their first positions following graduation.     

亲子阅读视角下电子绘本与纸质绘本的阅读差异研究

[目的/意义] 电子绘本种类繁多,交互丰富,对学龄前儿童吸引力强。相比阅读传统纸质绘本,学龄前儿童在阅读电子绘本时与父母的交流少。本文对这一现象进行深入分析,并解释以下两个研究问题:其一,当把交互功能降到最低时,父母和儿童之间的交流是否会增多;其二,在阅读传统纸质绘本时亲子交流的内容和行为。[方法/过程] 研究针对5-6岁的学龄前儿童以及其家长设计了实验,实验过程中,采用观察记录和录音两种方法收集数据,并采用扎根理论对数据进行分析。[结果/结论] 实验结果表明,去除大部分交互功能之后,在阅读电子绘本时父母和儿童之间的交流仍然很少。在阅读纸质绘本的过程中,儿童会通过提问和强化故事内容的方式来表达理解故事的需求,而父母不仅关注儿童对故事的理解程度,还关注儿童的阅读能力和阅读习惯。据此,提出一些针对电子绘本阅读和交互功能的设计建议及亲子阅读建议。     

Institutional policy process improvement: using structurating activity theory to inform practice

Organizational communication scholars are increasingly called upon to use theoretical knowledge to address problematic processes in public institutions. This article reports a process improvement project focused on a university conflict of interest (COI) policy as an example of how scholars can engage theory to improve ongoing policy processes. The project team included communication scholars and research administration staff who designed, implemented, and evaluated the mixed-methods project guided by structurating activity theory. Baseline survey results were used to design the process improvement project. Results of the follow-up survey indicate that researchers who participated in some aspect of the process improvement project (i.e. attending a policy café, using the redesigned website, or reading the new Quick Reference Guide) reported higher levels of policy communication and knowledge and more positive attitudes toward the COI policy than researchers who had not engaged with process improvement efforts. We offer theoretical and practical implications of results for organizational communication scholars and practitioners.
