Access and Express: Professional Perspectives on Public Library Makerspaces and Intellectual Freedom

This study examines the roles of makerspaces and librarians in public libraries, as defined by nine librarians instituting makerspace services. It explores their understanding of creative spaces and library policy, specifically the foundational principles of intellectual freedom and access. Using constructivist discourse analysis tools, this study analyzes interview data to illuminate a concept of access grounded in expression, incorporating hands-on activities, tools, and social connections. This study has implications for practitioners and policymakers in reconsidering access as a positive liberty enabled by social contexts, and librarians’ enzymatic roles in facilitating those contexts.     

Reimaging Public Libraries as Learning Communities: What Library Stories Can Tell Us

This article describes a study conducted in York County, Pennsylvania, on its countywide library system framed within the context of the statewide “Reimaging Libraries” Get Storied initiative, developed and marketed by organizational story consultant, Michael Margolis. Understood as an essential aspect of culture re-imaging and change, narratives were collected from library personnel by undergraduate students at Pennsylvania State University-York as part of a service-learning initiative (directed by the first author). Working closely with the library district consultant (second author), we assess the success of the initiative and make some recommendations for culture reimaging through the practice of storytelling.     

Public Library Services for Veterans: Selected Brief Case Studies

Public libraries across the country design and deliver programs for military veterans and their families, often collaborating with other organizations and agencies. The examples were assembled from both general and specialized interviews with librarians, and literature and Internet searches, with summaries of programs assembled and written by multiple researchers. The specific limitations on the listing in this article are clearly outlined in the first section. Overall, however, the article provides a good introductory overview of what’s going on in veteran’s programs and services in America’s public libraries in over seventy libraries in forty states. We hope this list of what public libraries have organized or are doing will supply other public librarians with ideas on how to provide new services or enhance their existing ones.

Early Literacy and the Public Library: An Opportunity of a Lifetime (of Reading)

In this article, author Bill Ptacek says that the future is now, and, at least from the 1970s through today, in the field of early childhood work, the future has come so fast that it is constantly upon us. That reality means that those concerned about young children in libraries have been about adaptation on a continuing basis. In this world of rapid change, innovation is constant: City firefighters come to the libraries in uniform to read stories to children, library outreach specialists take programs to daycare centers in their communities, and staff members create a space in a library devoted to early childhood reading. This tradition of rapid change means that the early childhood staff of most large public libraries in North America is changing for the future on a regular basis. The work unit should be considered seriously as one model for 21st century public library reform.

可行能力贫困:阅读困难群体的实质性特征

[目的/意义] 旨在厘清"阅读困难群体"的研究对象,分析产生阅读困难问题的原因,提出解决这些人阅读困难问题的策略。[方法/过程] 引入经济学中分析贫困问题根源的"可行能力方法"分析阅读困难群体的问题,从人的能力发展的角度考察阅读困难产生的原因,从而提出解决策略。[结果/结论] 可行能力贫困是阅读困难群体的实质性特征,可行能力贫困产生的原因在于阅读困难群体的"内在性"阅读困难、"结构性"阅读困难以及"生命敏感期"的脆弱性。增强阅读困难群体选择的"能力"与"机会"是扩展可行能力的关键,也是未来图书馆解决阅读困难群体问题的方向。     

论农民工教育服务的多边合作供给制——基于制度变迁理论的分析

对农民工教育服务的多机构合作供给实质上就是公共服务领域内的一场制度变迁,即在农民工的教育服务供给领域中引入市场机制,构建多个利益相关者互动的公共服务新秩序,以实现各机构之间功能的互补性贡献。制度需求与制度供给的不平衡是制度变迁的内在动力,本文运用制度变化的需求与供给分析框架,探究我国农民工教育服务实现多边合作供给过程中的各种要素,提出了相应的制度设计方案。
