Student Workers: Essential Partners in the Twenty-First Century Academic Library

This article describes a case study that best illustrates the value of student workers in university libraries, focusing particularly on how this kind of creative endeavor benefits everyone involved—the library, the students, the faculty, and at the end of the project: the university community.     

Impacts of an Information Commons on an Academic Library's Service Points

Abstract

The impacts of technology upon traditional library resources are sometimes unexpected. The library at California's University of the Pacific discovered that usage of print materials was dwindling, even though the addition of a 50-station “Information Commons” had bolstered overall library use. At first it was anticipated that the circulation desk might, within several years, be downsized into a mere information kiosk. Nevertheless, a study of the two service points-the Information Commons and the Circulation Desk-concluded that patrons still seek library services with a personal touch and continue to demand print materials. A “user satisfaction” survey revealed no mandate from users for the abandonment of print materials. As in the past, the services of the circulation desk have adapted to fit its users.     

Theatre of the Commons: a theatrical inquiry into the democratic engagement of former refugee families in Canadian public high school communities

Background: This paper describes the creation of a theatrical commons that aimed to broaden and deepen democratic engagement between diverse citizens in one public school community in Manitoba, Canada.Purpose and method: The researchers considered how Forum and Image Theatre provided former refugee youth, guardians, parents and the general public with the opportunity to name and invent different possibilities to address complex school community challenges at an individual and at a policy level. The study utilised critical participatory action research that drew heavily on the theatrical imaginations of Augusto Boal and David Diamond.Main arguments and conclusions: Three recommendations were derived from the findings as they related to the research questions and literature: (1) that Image and Forum Theatre can be used to connect public education to the pursuit of transformative democracy; (2) that Image and Forum Theatre would be a useful means of informing system planning and reflection, and; (3) that a theatrical commons has value for creating space for marginalised voices to influence decision-making.

论信息共享空间

信息共享空间是一种高度整合的信息服务模式.是适应现代人们需求的学习和交流空间。信息共享空间在国外,尤其是国外大学图书馆已很流行,但在国内只是在近两年才少量出现。信息共享空间能适应人们的信息和学习需求,满足人们信息能力培养的需要,有利于提高图书馆的价值和社会地位,有利于推进知识化城市建设。图书馆应进行自身改革,大力发展信息共享空间。参考文献19。
