The Feasibility of Differentiated Reference Service Model in University Libraries
No full text隨著外在服務環境的變遷以及內部專業人力及經費之不足，大學圖書館為支援教學與研究所提供之參考服務在品質上逐漸遭受質疑，引發了學界及業界對資訊時代參考服務之重新省思。有鑑於此，本文首先對傳統參考服務之特色及優缺點加以探討，並介紹學者所提倡之「分化式參考服務模式」（Differentiated Reference Service Model），就其產生之背景、觀念之演進、服務之特色、及實施之優缺點詳加論述，並由美國幾所大學圖書館實施之現況分析其實際應用之可行性。結論指出，分化式參考服務模式對參考服務品質之提升確有助益，相當具有可行性，可作為資訊時代大學圖書館參考服務組織重整時之參考。Three trends have pushed university libraries to modify the structure of reference service in recent years, which are budgetary stringency, reductions in staffing, & the change of reference environment. University libraries can not but change the reference model in order to satisfy readers’needs in information age.This article explores the problems of traditional reference service, introduces the differentiated reference model, including its background, progress, characteristics, advantages & disadvantages, & analyzes the feasibility of the model by the experience of several university libraries in the United States
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Culture-Led Regeneration Actions Through Public-Private Partnership: A Case Study of Taipei Dihua Street
No full text建街逾百年歷史的迪化街，長久以來被視為台北西區大稻埕的重要骨幹。隨著台北市都市發展進程與目標的更迭，以及面對街區發展方向幾十年來的爭議與妥協，市府自2007年起提出「大稻埕古城重現專案」，扣連文化發展策略與地方振興議題，意圖於迪化街與鄰近街區推動文化導向的都市再生。見證城市重心東移的迪化街歷史街區，更在當前追求全球城市、創意城市地位的趨勢下，被視為「創意」概念的實踐場域，儼然從過去學者口中形同全球城市孤島的形象，搖身一變成為台北市欲躋身全球城市之列的最佳代言人。 「公私合夥」由此被宣稱為促進公部門與民眾間對話、合作的機制，不僅將市府單位提出的發展目標合理化，亦作為建立地方連結的手段。因此，本研究認為透過公私合夥機制所促成的具體行動，正可藉以定位迪化街在當前治理脈絡下的草根層級回應。本文聚焦於三個具有文化導向的再生意涵、運用公私合夥的行動個案，揭示地方文化治理場域的面貌，以發展研究問題如下：源自全球化脈絡的文化策略施作，能否為迪化街既有的社會脈絡帶來好處？是否彰顯地方區辨的強化？抑或是趨同的矛盾？ 本文指出，迪化街當前被賦予的文化意義其來有自、應生於80年代該街區的保存抗爭中；如今，曾經被地方拒斥的文化菁英思維，在草根行動者的主動組織之下，一躍成為帶領地方發展的新利基，強化、挪用、而非洗去草根行動者長久經驗的地方認同，連結了民俗宗教信仰、庶民生活、以至歷史記憶與商貿活動。據此雖尚未能大幅地催化地方原有產業的經濟成長，卻也激發、納入更多社會參與的可能。惟，廣泛宣稱的對話與合作，並未展露出公私部門關係的全貌，反而直指街區的保存爭議以來，市府單位與迪化街利害關係人之間，長期缺乏信任與溝通機制，在行動層次上未排除、但也難以動員後者。 由於可運用的資源掌握在諸多不同行政單位手中，草根行動者雖在行動實踐過程中保有高度的自主性，但也不同程度地受限或收編於官方治理的網絡，所謂公私合夥在此實為民間欲爭取更多協助的策略，其中創意概念的多元詮釋加劇了文化發展資源分配的問題、並引發誰的創意才算數的爭議。最後，本文認為迪化街街區的發展計畫，公私部門的行動者各自和合作扮演的角色缺一不可，需改善資源整合的困境，才能實收擴大參與之效、促成更長久穩定的夥伴關係
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
