Updating Reay, Berta & Kohn EBMgt systematic review
No full textEvidence-based management (EBMgt) is a relatively new and emerging movement in
management theory, and modeled after evidence-based medicine (Briner, Denyer, & Rousseau,
2009). Interest in the topic appears to be gaining momentum, with an increasing amount of
literature being published each year. However, according to the systematic review conducted by
Reay et al. (2009), this literature, for the most part remains based more on expert opinion and
very little empirical studies. As a result, Reay et al. (2009) called for more empirical research to
be conduct on EBMgt.
This study reviews the most recent literature on EBMgt to evaluate whether the calls for
increased research on the topic have generated stronger levels of evidence. The author replicates
Reay et al. (2009) and uses the same inclusion criteria to qualify the published research during
the period between 2009 and 2012. The results of this research will be compared to that of Reay
et al. to determine whether the research on EBMgt remains, for the most part, expert opinion or
has the research strengthened since the last systematic review.
Overall, the findings of this study, similar to Reay (2009), find a severe lack of empirical
research regarding EBMgt. This systematic review reiterates the need for more research
generating stronger levels of evidence to promote the development, transition of EBMgt learning
into practice. This study adds fUrther support to the call for more empirical research to be
conducted on EBMgt and its potential benefits to organizational performance

Fair Use in the Visual Arts: Lesson Plans for Librarians (Occasional Paper No. 17)
No full textThe Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) announces the publication of Fair Use in the Visual Arts: Lesson Plans for Librarians as an open-access e-book. The authors guide art information professionals in crafting learning experiences that empower students to understand copyright and take advantage of fair use in their art, design, and academic practices. The College Art Association’s Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts, endorsed by ARLIS/NA in 2015, is a key document that has the potential to transform the use of images in the visual arts. Education will be an essential part of the integration of the Code into the visual arts, and art information professionals are well positioned to teach fair use and the Code. This book was created to further ARLIS/NA’s mission to support the evolving role of art information professionals, which increasingly includes copyright and fair use instruction. The lesson plans in this book will help those new to copyright instruction teach the Code through engaging activities and assignments. The lesson plans are also meant to inspire teachers experienced with fair use instruction through creative ideas and new ways to integrate copyright instruction into art classes, digital humanities projects, and design education. Fair Use in the Visual Arts: Lesson Plans for Librarians was edited by Alexander Watkins, Bridget Madden, Alexandra Provo, Danielle Reay, and Anna Simon. The creation of the book was proposed by the ARLIS/NA Public Policy Committee. Lesson plans were written by Amanda Avery, Leslie Worrell Christianson, Cindy Derrenbacker, Laura Dimmit, Nestor Gil, Karyn Hinkle, Jessica Hronchek, Allan Kohl, Bridget Madden, Emilee Mathews, Lindsey Reynolds, Molly Schoen, and Lijuan Xu

From Stigma to Silver Linings: Improving the Experiences of Long-term Tracheostomy Users Through Product Design
No full textThe design of tracheostomy products has barely changed in over 100 years. Furthermore, existing literature demonstrates little understanding of what it is like to live with long-term tracheostomy. In response, this project aims to capture the stories of real tracheostomy users. It applies an action research methodology to challenge historic stagnation and advocate for the consideration of users’ needs in tracheostomy product design. Where a cultural and systemic drive to minimise production costs and maintain clinical function have become the defining features of medical product design, this project uses human-centred design, and co-design approaches to bring focus to the need for emotionally sensitive aesthetics and improved usability. The findings contribute an understanding of the challenges tracheostomy users face in everyday life and the complex relationships they have with their tracheostomy products. Design outcomes include a series of artefacts intended to capture and evoke empathy for aspects of users’ experiences, as well as a design proposal demonstrating a possible approach to improving tracheostomy products through enhanced choice, usability, and aesthetics. The research highlights aspects of tracheostomy user experiences requiring further research, sets a precedent for future design-led research in this area, and makes a compelling case for tracheostomy product design innovation
