Turning a Service Learning Experience into a Model of Student Engagement: The Lighthouse Heritage Research Connections (LHRC) Project in Hong Kong

The digital shift has provided easy access to academic library users, and yet, the usage of archival collections continues to be low. At the same time, the need for innovation in library services for cultural heritage scholarship and its advancement is emerging. This paper outlines a library-led service-learning program that connects students with lighthouse artifacts, archival collections, scholars in global academia, and wider communities. Student engagement cases are provided to illustrate the way in which the librarian utilizes the Framework of Information Literacy for Higher Education by ACRL to work closely with students. These cases also demonstrate how students can contribute to knowledge creation and preservation efforts for a specific cultural heritage topic that is not static, but which keeps receiving new contributions or additions to the depository. Thus, this paper is an answer to the ACRL's call for pilot projects to be assessed and shared with the wider community of academic librarians and support staff. It also builds on emerging roles for academic libraries like engaged learning. Librarians must move beyond simply seeing themselves as partners. Instead, librarians should see themselves as prime facilitators that co-create and co-develop cultural heritage research and historical projects by connecting actors and resources more effectively than any single actor can do alone.     

Ecological Study of Graduation Rates and GPA in a Library Credit Course

The purpose of this ecological study was to examine the impact of a library credit course on graduation rates and GPA using pre-existing records. Over 20?years of aggregate institutional data were analyzed to evaluate the course's impact on first-time-full-time, white, and black students. Results were mixed: students who took the course were less likely to graduate than their peers who did not take the course but enjoyed slightly higher GPAs at graduation. It was discovered that students taking the course are not representative of the overall student body and struggle academically. Implications for revisions to the library credit course are discussed.     

科研领域重点研究方向判别方法研究

[目的/意义] 判别重点研究方向对科研管理和科技政策的制定有着重要参考价值,已有的定量方法多是根据创新性、新颖性以及增长性等特征属性设计指标进行识别、推荐,本研究进一步利用研究方向间的关联关系,从网络拓扑结构和特征属性两个维度判别重点研究方向。[方法/过程] 在构建领域文献引用网络的基础上,利用大规模网络聚类算法识别研究方向,并构建研究方向关联网络,利用网络重要节点识别算法从网络拓扑结构的角度判别重点研究方向,同时结合新颖性、增长性和H指数三个特征属性指标,构建了重点研究方向遴选指标体系。[结果/结论] 对纳米科技领域进行实证分析,经专家判读,认为加权PageRank、Gefura以及增长性指标更加具有客观性、全面性和稳定性,通过综合运用三个指标遴选出208个纳米科技领域的重点研究方向。

Glocalization and Other Challenges to Cataloging Chinese Continuing Resources

ABSTRACT

Glocalization describes the adaptation of international products around the particularities of a local culture, and extends to areas beyond political campaigns and cultural communication. Chinese continuing resources are effectively influenced by glocalization, which reflects the changing society in China and Chinese overseas communities, as well as the changing practice in Chinese studies all over the world. Glocalization brings unexpected challenges to a library's cataloging service, and a number of issues need to reach our awareness and be solved. We have to face squarely its influence, and look for an appropriate solution in handling Chinese continuing resources under glocalization.     

We May Be Teaching Information Literacy,but Are the Design First Year Students Actually Getting It?

The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes of information literacy instruction for the Design first year students at the Temasek Polytechnic Library. Also of interest was whether or not the librarian was being seen as easily approachable, and if the students were deeming the lessons to be worthwhile. A participant action research approach was used, with the data being collected from multiple choice tests delivered via the institutional learning management system, group exercises, and a diagnostic assessment that was delivered before the workshops. It was found that the students did see the librarian as someone who was eminently approachable, and the majority of them found the lessons to be of value. It was concluded that the use of a diagnostic tool can be very useful in highlighting the gaps in students' knowledge, and that it would be beneficial to use it for all information literacy instruction at TP. Suggested future research could include a study of how much the students retain of IL skills into their third year of study.     

电子健康网站用户信息披露行为影响因素研究

[目的/意义]旨在确定信息披露行为影响因素,优化电子健康网站生态环境,间接助力"健康中国2030"战略目标的实现。[方法/过程]采用质性研究方法,对访谈资料进行三级编码,抽取影响电子健康网站用户信息披露的17个主范畴及5个核心范畴,并构建电子健康网站用户信息披露行为影响因素模型。[结果/结论]电子健康网站用户信息披露行为主要受到用户感知效用、感知风险、主观规范、服务质量和病情特征影响。其中,感知效用是最重要影响因素,感知风险是次重要影响因素,主观规范是较重要影响因素,服务质量和病情特征是相对不重要影响因素。据此,从政府部门、电子健康网站和用户3个维度,总结相关启示。
