Constant Change and the Strategic Role of Communication : A Selective Annotated Bibliography
No full textThis selected bibliography primarily intended for librarians, library planners, managers or administrators is a quick starting point for understanding the significance of an overall communication strategy and its use for managing conflicts and changes in the library's environment strategically. Libraries have been experiencing relentless change and uncertainty in their environment. The literature on corporate communications, strategic management and planning, marketing and public relations more recently, has been recommending using communications as a strategy to coherently and proactively handle and foresee change. Planning and using an overall communications strategy will bring integrity and adherence to the library’s goals and direction while reducing the discomfort of change. This bibliography covers books and articles from mid-1980s – 2004 published around the world. The sources are listed alphabetically by author and then chronologically for different sources by the same author, providing brief but useful information about the content covered for each source. This bibliography presents a much needed resource list for gathering insights into the strategic role of communication for organizations such as the library that are in a state of constant change.Peer reviewe

Communicating Mission: An Analysis of Academic Library Web Sites
No full textAs libraries experience changes in their environment, communicating to stakeholders about the changes as well as the library's mission, strategies and responses to the changes is critical. Such communication serves well to inform how the change management integrates with the mission of the library so that stakeholders have a shared understanding of the changes taking place, as well as to build and develop their support and confidence in the organization. This study discusses findings of an exploratory analysis in which one hundred and eleven Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Web sites were surveyed to gain insights into academic library’s current practices of communicating the library mission.Peer reviewe
One-Stop Search: Finding Full-text Information for Social Science Journals
No full textUsers often express confusion and frustration in trying to locate the full-text availability of a journal and have to check multiple resources and interfaces on a library’s Web site. The challenge was to seek an interim practical solution, which would address this need effectively. The Social Science Journals Database and Search Engine (Soc-dbase) project demonstrates a low-cost one-stop search solution that can be easily and quickly adopted and implemented. The project involves creating a single Web interface to search a database of selected social science and sociology journal titles that include full-text online availability information. This paper presents the design and creation of the social sciences journals database that can be searched to find a journal’s full-text availability at the Rutgers University Libraries or on the Web. The database is accessible from: http://digital-projects.rutgers.edu/socsearch/.Peer reviewe

Research practices of scholars in literatures, writing, and cultural studies: a qualitative study of faculty at Rutgers University–New Brunswick
No full textUnderstanding the many constituencies that make up an academic library’s patrons is a formidable task. Scientists utilize resources quite differently than artists, and even scholars within a specific discipline like the humanities may have divergent practices and expectations depending on their academic niche and experience of library services at previous institutions. The authors of this study wanted to examine the research practices of faculty in a particular field, namely language and literatures, to identify what resources and services scholars currently use and wish they had access to at Rutgers. This study of the research practices of language and literature faculty was coordinated through Ithaka S+R, a not-for-profit research and consulting organization, working in conjunction with the Modern Language Association (MLA)
