Peer Education in the Commons: A New Approach to Reference Services

In planning for a new library construction project for the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa, graduate students enrolled in the University of Oklahoma (OU) School of Library and Information Studies collaborated in an innovative effort to develop a commons-based reference service. By first considering a philosophical approach to the need for a commons, blending in the experiences of other libraries that have created similar spaces, and focusing on the workflow issues likely to be encountered by the graduate assistants staffing the commons itself, this planning team developed an uncommon peer-to-peer approach to reference and education services, one focused on the patron as student.     

How Do I Get a Campus ID? The Other Role of the Academic Library in Student Retention and Success

Academic libraries have long gathered data at the reference desk to facilitate informed development of services and collections, and have long known that regardless of whether questions are related to doing research, the library is a safe place a student may go to find answers. This article highlights the role of the library and information commons service desks as valuable windows into the student experience. The authors suggest that librarians share with campus stakeholders information about students’ non-research-related questions to aid in the development of programs and services designed to help students adjust to campus life and, ultimately, succeed.     

The Past,Present, and Possibilities of Commons in the Academic Library

Within the past 10 years, commons have become increasingly prominent in academic libraries. Commons evolved out of the “library as a place” movement and stem from the digital revolution, increased emphasis on collaborative learning, and changing student habits and needs. The three levels of commons are information commons, learning commons, and the emerging virtual commons. Libraries implementing commons must consider the impact on reference services and staffing and be prepared for higher than anticipated use. Libraries should use both quantitative and qualitative assessment methods. Commons can revitalize the library by giving it a key role in reaching university strategic goals.     

Encouraging Better Graphic Design in Libraries: a Creative Commons Crowdsourcing Approach

A dearth of published literature about graphic design in libraries reveals that little attention has been focused on librarians' visual communication abilities and the impact of print and Web publications on users' interaction with library services and collections. This case study examines one approach to improving the quality of graphic design in libraries. Through a combination of social media and accessible cloud-based storage, Librarian Design Share, a crowdsourced archive of library-related visual materials, highlights exemplars of visual communication in libraries and makes designs freely available for adaptation under a creative commons license.

粤东海陆丰戏班、道坛隐语考察

在粤东的海陆丰地区存在着众多的戏班和道坛,由于戏班的艺人和道坛的"师公"在旧时代都处于社会的底层,为保护自身的安全和谋生的需要,他们在其内部创造了大量的秘密语,即隐语.这些隐语具有独特的性质、功能、构成方式和使用特点.     

我国信息共享空间研究的知识图谱分析——基于知识图谱的当代学科发展动向研究

利用前沿信息计量工具对CNKI中研究主题为"信息共享空间"的文献进行分析,以可视化知识图谱方式展示国内信息共享空间研究热点以及它们之间的交叉联系,发现我国信息共享空间研究多集中在高校图书馆、学科化服务、学习共享空间、信息共享空间实体建设等方面。     

基于语义对等网的数字图书馆知识共享空间初探

针对目前图书馆信息共享空间难以满足用户信息需求的转变的现状,本文秉承信息共享空间的服务理念,引入数字图书馆知识共享空间的概念,并基于语义对等网构建了具有两层结构的混合P2P知识共享空间架构:由语义相近节点聚集的结构化语义资源层和超级节点通过语义规则链接的非结构化语义计算层,最后初步研究了数字图书馆知识共享的实现过程。     

古德诺政治与行政"公地"思想及其意义

古德诺的政治与行政“公地”思想对我国的政治体制改革有重要的借鉴作用。政党体制对于选举的影响比宪法大,法律因其重要而滞后,人性的共性导致了政治相似;政治与行政交叉,“公地”分配要协调和统一,通过政党的进退实现政治对行政的控制;行政功能划分为执行、司法、准司法、统计和科学功能,政治对于行政的控制局限于执行机构,其他专业部门要保持其独立性。     

信息共享区服务质量评价指标体系的构建

信息共享区是最近几年兴起的一种创新型图书馆服务模式．信息共享区服务质量评价指标体系是根据信息共享区服务的特点,在全面性、科学性、指导性、定性分析与定量测评相结合等原则的指导下,建立了以评价信息共享区服务质量为总目标,以服务过程、服务内容、资源及用户感知度为制约层,并从各个角度确定子目标,构建信息共享区服务质量评价指标体系。
