Personal Productivity: The Eternal Quest
No full textabstract: As libraries are increasingly asked to do more with less, we all have more things to do and less time to do them. Sometimes, the tools we have to help -like email and smartphones - actually make things worse! The trick is connecting technology and techniques that can best help us to manage our time and productivity effectively.
In this presentation, Anali will lead an intrepid party on the eternal quest of improving personal productivity. Together, we’ll fight the email dragon, vanquish the time stealing goblins, and explore an arsenal of tools that help us get things done. By sharing ideas and best practices, we can each make connections to the techniques and tools will help us succeed on our quest!Presented at the Arizona Library Association Annual Conference, November 19, 2015, in Flagstaff, AZ

Ustavnopravna vprašanja kontrole cen naftnih derivatov
No full textDue to noticeable price increases and corresponding volatility of oil and gas in recent years, public and political interest as concerns a stable provision of propellants augmented substantially. Such price fluctuations affect not only national economies but also actions of consumers. Relevant stakeholders on the market freely determine retail price of petroleum products in many countries. Nevertheless, it is quite common that the public and, consequently, politicians reject an option for dynamic price changes. This is often in stark contrast with a general policy and 92 ANALI PAZU HD, let. 2, 2/2016, 91‒111 Saša Zagorc guidelines of national competition regulators that an authoritative intervention in process of price determination is not necessary. Slovenia belonged for a long time to the group of countries with price control of petroleum products for end users despite the principled stance on free enterprise and free economic initiative. In this regard, author would like to establish an appropriate methodological approach, in line with the case law of the ECrtHR and the Constitutional Court, for a review of constitutionality and legality of executive measures. Author also assessed if the Government fully respected the principles of legality, foreseeability and strict proportionality of executive measures for price control of petroleum products.Zaradi relativno opaznega dviga in nihanja cen nafte in plina v zadnjih letih je povečan tudi interes javnosti in politike do preskrbe s pogonskimi gorivi, saj vpliva tako na ravnanje potrošnikov kot na delovanje nacionalnih gospodarstev. V vrsti držav je cena pogonskih goriv za končne uporabnike prepuščena ravnanju deležnikov na trgu. Vendar se zdi, da tudi v državah, kjer spremembe cen niso povezane s konkurenčnostjo, širša javnost in s tem politika na splošno zavračata spremenljivost cen pogonskih goriv, kar je v nasprotju s splošno politiko regulatorjev konkurence, da avtoritativno vmešavanje v postopke določanja cen v večini primerov ni potrebno. Slovenija je ena tistih držav, ki je uveljavila sistem kontrole cen pogonskih goriv navkljub načelni naklonjenosti svobodni gospodarski pobudi. Pri tem avtorja zanima, kakšen je, glede na veljavno zakonodajo in sodno prakso Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice in Ustavnega sodišča Republike Slovenije, pravilen metodološki pristop k ocenjevanju ustavnosti in zakonitosti vladnih predpisov o oblikovanju cen naftnih derivatov. Avtor namerava proučiti tudi, ali so izvršilni organi pri sprejemanju predpisov zadostili načelu zakonitosti in načelu predvidljivosti predpisov ter izpolnili dolžnost preveritve, če obstajajo milejši ukrepi, kot so trenutno v veljavi v zvezi s cenami naftnih derivatov.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Navigating the Wild West of Open Access Publishing

As publishers experiment with new business models, there’s an explosion of new journal titles and publishers.

Lights, camera, action! How to produce a library minute
No full textabstract: Videos are a useful and popular way to reach an audience—we all know videos that have gone viral online, garnering millions of views. However, the type of video that can compete with Old Spice commercials takes weeks to plan and produce, as well as a significant budget. Arizona State University (ASU) Libraries wanted to nd a sustainable way to share videos that would require minimal staff time to cre- ate and produce. With that goal in mind, “The Library Minute” was born. We initially envisioned a weekly newscast, but it has evolved into a successful and fun video series. Episodes have been featured in American Libraries Direct, as part of the ACRL Marketing Minute, received more than 74,000 views on YouTube and the Internet Archive, and have garnered complimentary e-mails from all over the world. Most importantly, they are a valuable marketing and outreach tool for the ASU Libraries and have increased our visibility to our students and other departments in the university.Post-print version, as originally published at http://crln.acrl.org/content/72/5/278.full
