Benefits to Collection Development Librarians from Collaborating with “Community-Embedded” Librarians-In-Training

The 21st century collection manager encounters serious challenges in collection development (e.g., budget shortages, lack of skilled personnel, lower agency prioritization, and reduced available staff time). This article explores a practical, low-cost solution to these challenges that prevent collection developers from regularly creating/managing adequately balanced collections. It discusses the role of 93 “community-embedded” librarians-in-training to develop contextually situated collections in a graduate course taught seven times in an information sciences program in a southern land grant university. Findings of collection management activity tasks completed during the course provide evidence of accrued tangible outcomes/benefits to motivate collection development librarians and their information agencies collaborate with librarians-in-training in future initiatives.

Health science libraries in Sweden: new directions,expanding roles

Librarians in Sweden are facing huge challenges in meeting the demands of their organisations and users. This article looks at four key areas: coping with open science/open access initiatives; increasing demands from researchers for support doing systematic reviews; understanding user experiences in Swedish health science libraries; and the consequences of expanding roles for recruitment and continuing professional development. With regard to changing roles, there is an increasing shift from the generalist towards the expert role. The authors raise the issue as to how to prepare those new to the profession to the changing environment of health science libraries.     

Is There a Future for Journalism?

A functionalist perspective on the future of journalism would posit that because human society needs journalism, we will find ways to support this communications practice. Yet such a perspective, however consoling, assumes a teleology that is far from guaranteed. What will happen is far from easy to predict; nevertheless, this paper pinpoints several key issues that impact on the future of journalism. It also advances some general propositions and a broad periodisation around UNESCO’s historical role in relation to these issues. The analysis gives particular attention to political and economic matters, the safety of journalists and internet governance. Each of these dimensions entails existential threats to journalism, but some opportunities are also noted. Four paradoxes are also identified, with tensions that may lead to change in one direction or another.

家园共育视域下的智能化幼儿发展评价

在家园共育视域下,研究发现家长参与的幼儿发展评价存在评价观念偏颇、评价参与表浅以及评价沟通不足等现实困境。以幼儿发展评价在智能技术驱动下所面临的智能化升级为契机,构筑智能化幼儿发展评价双向驱动模型。该模型围绕“一个中心、双向驱动、三个阶段以及多次迭代”的内容要旨,依托智能评价系统落实三阶段幼儿发展评价实施流程,具有权责分明、精准施测以及交互充分的应用优势,有助于发挥家园共育的协同育人价值。

教师博客的价值探讨与发展研究

博客作为一种"用网页形式来呈现的个人日记"(约翰.伯格),发轫于上世纪90年代末的美国,于2002年传入中国,仅几年时间博客数量实现30多倍的跨越式增长,博客之"火"也即燃向校园。教师博客数量增长迅速,在高等院校及基础教育中的运用也更加普通,教师博客的价值和功能,是有利于教育传播模式的创新及整合;有利于教育信息资源的聚集和共享;有利于教师自我展示传播诉求的达成。目前,认识到教师博客的应用价值之余,有效的手段就是将教师博客纳入正规教学"体制内",建立一套教师博客的推行应用机制。
