Center Stage: Performing a Needs Assessment of Campus Research Centers and Institutes

Outreach to research centers and institutes is often overlooked in academic libraries. This article discusses a needs assessment conducted by the Liaison Services Department at the University of Houston Libraries that reviewed library services to centers and institutes at the University of Houston's main campus. The assessment was conducted for two purposes: to build collaborations with centers and to determine how the libraries might create new services and/or market existing services to meet the centers and institutes' growing research needs.     

A University-Wide Collaborative Effort to Designing a Makerspace at an Academic Health Sciences Library

This article describes the planning and development of a 3D printing makerspace at an academic health sciences library. At the start of 2015, a new library Technology Team was formed consisting of a team leader, an emerging technologies librarian, and a library systems analyst. One of the critical steps in the development of the proposal and with the planning of this project was collaborating and partnering with different departments and units outside the library. These connections helped shape the design of the makerspace.

The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data Future

ABSTRACT

This article is a preliminary report on the work of the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI), a collaboration between five of Canada’s largest research libraries, Library and Archives Canada, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, and Canadiana.org. Although still in its nascent stage, participating institutions are working together to advance the technical services divisions of our libraries in the area of linked data. Project working groups are making progress in five main areas: grant funding, digital collections, education and training, legacy metadata enhancement, and in the evaluation and adaptation of Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative tools. By working across geographic and institutional boundaries, the CLDI aims to chart a path to a new age of technical services, one based on the foundation of Linked Open Data.     

TransFormers in knowledge production: building science–practice collaborations

This article places action learning in the context of system innovation, as it studies the potential use of action learning for system change. In order to effect such system change, collaboration between actors from different institutional backgrounds is essential. To gain insight into if and how action learning can be applied for system change, we study three system change projects in Dutch agriculture. We focus specifically on the approaches developed by the project leaders for collaboration between the scientists and the entrepreneurs and analyse how the interaction between these two contributed to the learning process within the project. This article concludes with guiding concepts for action learning for system change in the field of sustainable development of agriculture and beyond.

我国食品安全法律规制的制度检视与路径优化

《中华人民共和国食品安全法》的修订和国务院机构改革,进一步理顺了食品安全监管关系,明确了食品安全面临的监管问题,从多方面、深层次强化了我国的食品安全监管制度,但层出不穷的食品安全事件表明,食品安全制度和监管层面的改革在广度和深度上仍有欠缺,体制机制依旧存在障碍并且亟待破除。食品安全法律规制不仅应通过立法技术填补法律漏洞、协调监管冲突,还应运用食品安全规制技术进行风险评估模式的革新,推动构建食品安全规制主体的多元化协同治理体制。

当代我国中小学家校冲突的原因分析与应对建议

家校冲突是我国社会关注的热点问题。如何正确认识中小学家校冲突并采取措施有效解决是我国教育亟待解决的问题。该研究通过对家校冲突的原因进行深入分析,认为家庭和学校在家校合作的权责上划分不明确、家校互动相关的制度不够健全、家庭与学校对利益共同体的认识不足、家庭与学校在教育理念上存在分歧和家庭与学校在情感上没有相互信任等物质性和非物质性因素都是造成家校冲突的原因。在此基础上,该研究对于家校冲突的解决和预防提出了相应的应对建议。
