An Assessment Of The Effectiveness Of Library Resources And Services In Suppo...tulipbiru64
?
This document reports on a study that assessed the effectiveness of library resources and services in supporting researchers' information needs at a university in Malaysia. The study examined researchers' perceptions of the library's resources, services, access, and interactions. It found that researchers viewed the library's resources as fairly adequate, though new acquisitions and interlibrary loan services needed improvement. Researchers highly used electronic journals and databases but less frequently used services like reference and endnote support. The study also analyzed how researchers' demographics and library activities related to their views of the library's effectiveness.

The Best of West:Celebrating 125 Years of Federal and State Government Information for South Dakota
A presentation at the AZ Library Association/Mountain Plains Library Association Conference Nov. 14, 2014.
Vickie Mix and Brenda Hemmelman
This document discusses the information needs of knowledge workers and challenges in meeting those needs. It notes that knowledge workers spend 15-35% of their time searching for information, but are only successful 50% of the time. This results in lost productivity of 20-25%. It also discusses challenges like complicated access controls and understanding results from past similar cases. Opportunities mentioned include understanding information needs in a given domain and extracting relevant entities to drive semantic search tailored to the context of the case being worked on.
This document discusses altmetrics, which are alternative metrics for measuring research impact beyond citations. It provides examples of researcher and article level altmetrics for individuals like Heather Piwowar and a 2013 article by Marshall. Altmetrics capture mentions and interactions on social media, news sites and reference managers. The document also defines various metrics like the h-index, citations and altmetric scores that can be integrated into research impact reports.
Qualitative and quantitative methods of researchJordan Cruz
?
The document compares and contrasts qualitative and quantitative research methods. It discusses that qualitative research aims to understand social interactions through smaller, non-randomly selected samples, while quantitative research seeks to test hypotheses and make predictions using larger, randomly selected samples and specific variables. It also outlines the different types of data collected, forms of analysis, roles of researchers, and final reporting structures between the two methods.
Ethics involves moral standards that govern behavior and determine what is good versus bad. Ethical behavior follows principles of moral reasoning and can vary across cultures. Upholding ethics in business requires balancing universal moral standards with local cultural norms. Many factors influence individual and organizational ethics, including moral development, values, leadership, and structural influences within a company.

This set of powerpoint slides summarizes our pilot study examining two altmetric gathering products PlumX (Plum Analytics) with additional information on Altmetric.com (MacMillan). We had Plum Analytics create profiles for several University of Colorado faculty. The faculty provided us with feedback on their social media visibility, or lack of it. The original English presentation is translated into three languages: Russian, Chinese and Japanese.

Did Japan have a coherent policy toward China?mookmur
?
Japan did not have a fully coherent policy toward China. Its policy fluctuated due to various international, domestic, and leadership factors. Internationally, tensions grew as China's economic and military power increased. Domestically, Japan's conservative LDP party generally took a cautious stance toward China, while the replacement DPJ sought more regional cooperation. Individual leaders like Koizumi and Abe differed in their approaches to issues like history textbooks and shrine visits. Overall, Japan aimed to balance its alliance with the US and relationships with Asian neighbors like China, but disagreements over territory and history created instability.
2. Outline
? Some concept about INA
? Practical use in library
? How to conduct an INA
? Afterthought
3. Why we should learn about INA
? Books are for use
? 基於對社區需求的了解,圖書館才能發展館藏、提
供服務,了解的越清楚,越容易在被需要時滿足
之。
? Books are for all
? 資源有限、對象多元,了解使用者才能設計有效的
館發計畫。
5. What is INA
? 重視目標族群
? 欲強化服務或是產品價值
? 提供其他計畫可使用的資料
? Community analysis <公共圖書館> 廣泛研究
? Planning process 準確辨識活動目的
? Information audit/needs analysis/assessment <專
門圖書館、資訊中心、資訊掮客> 特定族群
? User studies <學術圖書館> 5W1H需要、使用資訊
? Market analyses 消費者如何回應服務和產品
6. INA vs market research
? 人和物之間的橋樑
? 欲辨識服務對象的特性(目標族群小則好實施)
? 欲了解關於服務或產品的資訊
? 為何(不)被使用
? 被如何使用
? 在何處獲得、使用
? 優缺點
? 他人願意付出多尐成本取得
? 如何引起他人興趣
7. Needs
? Needs 需要
? situations that require solution
? Wants 想要
? thingsthat someone is willing to expend
time, effort, or money to acquire
? Demands 需求
? things
that someone wants and is willing to act in
concert to acquire
? Identify a need that is wanted and
demanded
8. Information
? 資訊來源有正式和非正式的,典型的非正式資
訊來源有朋友、同事、俱樂部、社團etc
? 圖書館屬於正式資訊來源
? 大眾傳媒回應多數地區、日常性的資訊需求
? 相關研究用詞
? Information user(who)
? Information need(what、why)
? Information seeking behavior(how)
? Information retrieval and access failure(why)
9. ? 資訊量增加/資訊需求增加,獲取精確資訊的時間、
心力、金錢也增加。
? 每個人會在無意間賦予資訊不同的價值。
? 資訊內容類型(數字、圖片、影音…)
? 資訊包裹形式/載體(書、期刊、資料庫…)
? 資訊取得成本低-經濟考量、易近性 law of least effort
? 教育程度(senior-postgraduate)—家境/社會經濟背景
? 文化環境背景
? 工作組織環境
? 決策時所扮演的腳色
? P.23
15. Is it really practical
? TD Wilson
? 揭露服務人口日常生活裡的真實舉動?瞭解何種需求促
使服務對象進行資訊行為?瞭解人們日常生活中有意義
的資訊?能設計出更符合需求且有效率的資訊系統
? Colin Mick
? 由實務可發現,資訊行為研究無益於系統和服務的設計,
資訊創新都是由科技和內容推動。
? Douglas Zwelzig
? 自行認定而非顧客的資訊需求
? 瞭解個體需求不能指引服務或館藏的規劃
18. 實施時的整體考量
? Who will do the survey
? What will be studied
? How and Where is data collected
? How is data to be interpreted
19. Who will do the survey
? 考量經濟支持、雇員能力、研究深廣
? 顧問—旁觀者清、專業?不一定被接受、能呈現的
時間短、造成誤會和抗拒
? 館員—知道結果會如何使用、在工作中隨時獲得相
關資訊、自發性地體會故更樂於接受、日常交談方
便擴散結果?時間、經驗不足,不在工作範圍內
? 諮詢小組(advisory board)—由所有主要族群參
與,有助於設定先後順序及資料解釋?如何組成及
實踐
20. What will be studied

偏好分布、館藏是否應反映這些哲學性差異、社區
23. What will be studied
? 6. Demographic data 人口 (GIS系統更能發揮)
? America

互支援、避免浪費
25. How and Where is data
collected
? 計畫的時間、金錢、勞力、目的
? 目標對象回應的能力和意願
? 訪談 key informant, community forum
? 訪談者不要太多
? 讓相似的受試者先回答,以便預期可能的回應和答
案,並能修正問題—要能正確陳述目標、使不同回
應者對問題有相同理解方式
? 問卷、行為觀察 social indicators, field surveys
26. How and Where is data
collected
? Key informant/gatekeeper
? 了解且能代表、影響社區者領導、官員etc
? 易準備與實施、資料蒐集較快、主要角色重視
? 非隨機抽樣,有個人偏見,雖有用但代表性不一定
? Community forum
? 開放社群?焦點團體town meeting
? 辨識出有興趣增進圖書館服務品質者而能後續合作
? 民主交流的平台
? 無興趣者不參與、資料主觀而印象、難系統性分析

collected
? Social
indicators/factors, variables, characteristics
? 選擇和資訊需求高度相關且可各自存在的描述性資
料特性,以遍布整體社群需求
? 年紀、性別、健康、職業、教育、收入、地址…
? 圖書館使用率較低者—年齡大(55)、地位高、男、
教育年限尐+學士後、單身/無子女、低收入、高收
入、身體缺陷、勞工、距離遙遠
? 資料可來自其他單位,但不易決定要選擇那些特性
28. How and Where is data
collected
? Field Surveys
? 同時了解使用者和非使用者,以問題引出資料,可
以和統計數據對照分析
? 問題—結構性/封閉式vs 非結構性/開放式
? 樣本—成本、代表性、回覆所需資訊
? 面訪(高回覆、同步交流意見)、電訪(代表部分、時
間短)、信件(訓練成本低、追蹤成本高、代表部分)
? 更可信、正確,但成本高、拒訪隱私問題
29. How and Where is data
collected
? 觀察—作為訪談的交叉比對,避免觀察者影響
對象
? 日記(可能自我美化)、transaction logs –
what, when, where, how, how often
? 引文分析—辨識核心館藏
30. How is data to be interpreted
? 分析工具的選擇要有充分理由,否則分析後仍
跟原始數據一樣無用
? 資料處理: Tabulation、以地圖呈現數據間關係
? 資料闡釋: 依社會需求解釋評估結果(J.
Bradshaw)
? Normative need 基於專家意見,大眾接受但資金
不會回應這種需求
? Felt need 正確、務實與否不重要,反應行為、真
正的需求,但不一定是對社區好
31. How is data to be interpreted
? Expressed need 館員傾向回應主動、經常表達的
意見,可能造成花費不均及未回應真正需求,評估
可以顯示圖書館是否過分回應積極者
? Comparative need比較目標對象和其他地區的總
數、均數、使用率,兩組應相同,有助於協助設定
新服務或計畫的目標
? 可從四種需求的角度出發設計問卷(p.41)
? 資料呈現: 結果要使各種人都能輕鬆了解(摘
要、圖表、視覺化)
32. How is data to be interpreted
? 資料檢驗: 焦點小組討論—找出結論的弱點、
使有興趣者建立共識並採取行動、辨識出不屬
於圖書館責任且為滿足的需求由相關單位回應
? 做出結案報告?調整館發政策?持續分析調整
? 報告包含研究目的、方法、問題清單、解決方
法的優先順序,能回答圖書館和社區目標是否
一致以及與過去和現在需求的關聯性,找出要
加強之處及之前做不到之原因。
