Uncovering the Evidence: Faculty Perceptions of Distance Library Services

Usage statistics are a regular part of assessment but the lack of context leaves librarians pondering the reasons for fluctuations in use. Through development of an online survey, we examined faculty perceptions, knowledge, and use of distance library services to support online courses. Responses provided much needed context and helped to determine priorities and direction for services. While this survey was a useful marketing tool, results emphasized that the greatest need was for ongoing communication with faculty to increase awareness of services provided.

Framework for Sustaining Innovation at Baker Library,Harvard Business School

ABSTRACT

Baker Library at Harvard Business School is increasingly asked by the school's faculty to create custom digital information products to enhance course assignments and to find novel ways of electronically disseminating faculty research. In order to prioritize these requests, as well as facilitate, manage, and track the resulting projects, the library staff developed the Research Innovation Framework. Informed by design thinking techniques and recent research on building innovation strategies and innovative cultures, the Research Innovation Framework has been particularly impactful to Baker's intra-organizational communication, allowing for more robust collaboration across the entire library. Tools and resources contained within the Framework have allowed Baker to adapt to the diverse and evolving needs of its customers.     

Identifying Criminal Justice Faculty Research Interests Using Voyant and NVivo

Abstract

Inspired by Gao’s text analysis of communication studies faculty, this study looks at the trends from 176 faculty publications from the criminal justice department at the University of Nevada, Reno. Criminal justice faculty publications are missing from library science text analysis literature. This study uses Voyant and NVivo 12 to analyze words and phrases from titles and abstracts to identify research interests. Voyant itself was found to be sufficient and identified specific research trends such as organizational commitment, amber alerts, and death qualification. This study can assist liaison librarians in selecting between these two tools based on their needs.     

体验：教再生命维度的诠释

理性主义教育哲学观指导下的教育实践处于自然逻辑与生活逻辑的双重背离之中，受教育者处在生活世界中机械盲目地占有大量的知识，却遗忘了对生命的生动体验。这实质上是教育人文向度的遮蔽和生命关怀的缺失。教育与人的“第二生命”互生互动，生命的完整与和谐始终是教育不变的情结。体验是生命最真实、最生动的表达，因此，唯有体验才是教育生命维度的最好诠释。     

大学章程中教师学术权利规范的分析与建构 ——基于我国41所大学章程文本的比较研究

教师学术权利在大学章程中具有重要地位,不仅是大学章程建构的逻辑起点和价值重心,而且是大学章程的终极追求。不同大学章程中关于教师学术权利的规范,在形式和内容上既有一致性也有差异性,所以我们需要相互借鉴,取长补短,丰富和发展教师学术权利规范体系。在大学章程的修订完善中,应以大学理念和法治要义为指导,进一步强化学术权利的地位,丰富学术权利的内容,完善学术权利的制度、组织和程序保障,健全学术权利的救济机制,使大学章程真正成为教师学术权利保障的利器。

Computer self-efficacy of university faculty in Lebanon

Faculty use of technology is a critical issue in higher education; administrators and students are expecting faculty instruction to incorporate technology in classroom and distance education. Competition is demanding technologically proficient graduates for schools and colleges. Research indicates that computer self-efficacy (CSE) may be one determinant of who uses technology and who does not. A survey of education faculty at the Lebanese University in Beirut, Lebanon, conducted in 2006, revealed varying degrees of CSE; of 127 respondents, 14 had low levels of CSE; 68 were at a moderate level, and 45 self-evaluated themselves to have high CSE. Although other barriers may deter the implementation of technology in teaching, strategies and techniques for increasing CSE should be developed. For those with low CSE, special attention must be given to enhancing their levels of CSE.

工学互动组合:重构高职教育双师型教学团队的新思路

建立"工学互动组合教学团队",是从根本上解决目前"双师型"教师队伍建设困境的一种新思路.从组织形式和运行模式上来界定"双师型"教学团队,更利于校企紧密合作.强调以"企业本位"思考高职教育内容,以"学校教育"(而非"企业训练")开展高职教育活动,培养有灵性、有修养、有技能、善创新的个性化人才是校企合作的利益共生点.只有在校企双方利益共生共存中寻找行动策略,才能实现高职院校教学活动的"职业性"特征.
