Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ARL Partnerships Program was created to enhance diversity in research libraries and allied associations. The goal was to actively engage more libraries and library-related organizations in advancing diversity initiatives. This compilation of diversity programs and activities highlights the efforts of libraries and library associations participating in the Opportunities for Success Partnerships Program. This special issue contains reports from the Michigan Library Association, the University of Michigan, the University of Missouri-Columbia, and the Pennsylvania State University that describe the strategies employed within these institutions to create a more inclusive working environment for all. Creating a climate for diversity in libraries involves strategic planning, recruitment and retention activities, on-going educational programs, and consistent organizational assessment and adjustment. This document includes working documents, memos, and other materials that the participants used to promote their agendas, educate their constituencies, and rally their communities. While there are no survey-based results nor analysis, there are concrete ideas and discussion of the successes and difficulties in developing, implementing, and nurturing diversity programs and inclusive environments.

Download or read book Action Learning in Practice written by Mike Pedler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous editions of Action Learning in Practice established this authoritative overview of action learning around the world. Over the last decade the move towards action-based organizational learning and development has accelerated, and action learning is now an established part of the education and development mainstream in large and small organizations. Fully revised and updated, this fourth edition covers the origins of action learning with Reg Revans' ideas, and looks at their development and application today. Action learning is self-directed learning through tackling business and work problems with the support of peers and colleagues. A professional and diverse workforce, attracted, influenced and developed in this way is more able to deal effectively with the growing complexity and pressures of working life. As the limits of conventional training and development become more obvious, leaders are increasingly attracted to action-based approaches to learning when seeking better outcomes and returns on investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The goal of this survey was to determine the extent to which data mining technology is being used by ARL member institutions, researchers, libraries and and administrations. The survey also hoped to elicit ideas and opinions concerning the potential role of libraries in supporting data mining and data warehousing in research institutions. The first seven survey questions focus on data mining and data warehousing activities at the institutional level. The remaining questions explore the current library use of data mining technology and opportunities for future use. Since data warehouses are the foundation of data mining, several questions focused on current support and future plans for data warehousing. The survey was sent to 124 ARL member libraries. Sixty-five (52%) responded to the survey"--P. 9.
