Download or read book The Academic Library and Its Users written by Peter Jordan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many recent changes in higher and further education mean that it is more important than ever to analyse the needs of academic library users, and both promote and provide the service they require. This constructive book, pervaded throughout by the impact of IT on the learning environment, surveys the influences on today's academic library, and explains how to increase user satisfaction through quality management. The author focuses particularly on users' behaviour in the library, the problems they cause or encounter, and how libraries cope. The book examines the varying needs of undergraduate and graduate, mature and part-time students, overseas students, franchised students, distance learners and other groups with special needs, explaining ways in which these needs can be identified and the service evaluated. One chapter is devoted to research and researchers' information demands. The particular requirements of subject communities and their consequences for academic libraries are also investigated, as well as the requirements of teaching staff and ways in which the library can work with them. The author emphasizes the importance of user education programmes and explains how to promote the library effectively with limited resources. For librarians, heads of services and senior library managers in further and higher education, and those, such as subject librarians, responsible for specific student groups, this book provides a comprehensive and realistic guide to providing and promoting a quality service. Students of librarianship and information management will gain valuable insight from this book into user analysis and improving the performance of information provision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is by now an obvious observation that much of the world depends on information technology. Our infrastructure relies on IT: our buildings, finance systems, roads, airplanes, cars, televisions, washing machines and bread makers; as does much of what we do: our banking, learning and communicating. Almost everyone today uses information technology, but few know how it works, and very few indeed understand the mysteries of how to build new systems. This imbalance between ‘users’ and ‘knowers’ grows worse every year. With the ‘dot com collapse’, the number of students studying computers, and information technology more generally, has been shrinking steadily. In the long run, this trend is not likely to be a good thing, either in Australia or elsewhere. What can we do about this? IT courses worldwide report falling enrolments and high attrition. The glamour of computing – seemingly effortless graphics and animations, and the management of massive computations and data sets – is at odds with the reality of how difficult it can be to coax computers into exhibiting these advanced capabilities; and many students find the transition from the dream to reality too difficult to master. One possibility is to reconceptualize both what and how we teach, making IT more attractive to students without sacrificing the rigour and depth needed to produce graduates capable of life-long learning against the backdrop of rapidly evolving technologies. The Faculty of Information Technology at QUT has long sought to develop curricula and pedagogies that make this possible. The results of this search show in innovative curricula, real-world engagement, and a dominant position in our local market for IT education. QUT’s strategic plan, the ‘QUT Blueprint’*, exhorts the University to be bold, experiment, and engage with the real world in order to ensure we remain relevant and attuned to the needs of both our graduates and the industries that will employ them. The contents of this book report on a significant part of our response to this challenge. I’m honoured to be able to write this preface only a year after I joined QUT; the work herein is a credit to my two predecessors as Deans of the Faculty, Professors Dennis Longley and John Gough, and to all the staff of the Faculty, both academic and professional, and current and past. Hopefully it will also help to inspire a new generation of staff and students. To you, the reader, this book is best thought of as a snapshot of a long quest to discover the secrets of how best to approach the moving feast that is IT education. It will be of interest to those looking to develop new curricula of their own, or benchmark their own journeys of discovery. We should never imagine that we have all the answers; indeed, it’s our hope that readers will learn from, and improve on, what we have achieved, and share their insights with us in return, so that the co-evolution of ICT teaching around the world can be facilitated.

This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information in today’s modernized world has become much more attainable with the use of technology. A resource that has fallen victim to this are library services. What was once a staple of knowledge and communication has failed to keep pace with recent advancements in information service providers. Library practitioners need to learn how to manage change, build influence, and adapt their services to remain relevant within local communities. Libraries can continue to play a key role in future aspects of information provision, but proper research is a necessity. Managing and Adapting Library Information Services for Future Users is a collection of innovative research that encapsulates practices, concepts, ideas, and proposals that would chart pathways for libraries of all types to envision and understand how to thrive and remain relevant in the competitive information provision environment. It is expected to motivate librarians and information scientists to probe further into how libraries would better serve user communities of the 21st century who have options of accessing information from sources other than from libraries. While highlighting topics including artificial intelligence, human design thinking, and alternative finance, this book is ideally designed for librarians, information specialists, architects, data scientists, researchers, community development practitioners, policymakers, faculty members, and students seeking current research on emerging advancements in library optimization.
Download or read book Trends in Library and Information Studies written by Aijaz Ahmad Bhat and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Library and information science education has developed into a distinct discipline to meet the growing dimensions of library service and the changing needs of the society. Library as a social organ has certain social obligations. These obligations vary with the educational and cultural needs. The personnel working in libraries must have proper library education then only they can use and implement the library techniques effectively to suit the requirements of the users. Presently, library education is being provided by a variety of institutions such as traditional universities, open universities, deemed universities, polytechnics, affiliated colleges, professional associations, and documentation centres, etc. Common trends noted in the growth of LIS schools around the world are review and revision of curricula, increased use of ICT, decrease or increase in the number of students, amalgamation and reorientation. Library and Information Science Education is no more an education for the mangers of libraries only, but has become an education for the consumers of knowledge also. It is a change from managing libraries by librarians to manage the flow of information by one and all. Earlier, LIS students after the education became librarians, now professionals teach this science and learners choose this profession to manage the information. The need of mere library schools is over in the present context. Better schools having adequate finance, physical and library facilities, equipment, and qualified and experienced faculty is the need of the hour. The LIS schools should aim at educational excellence and serve as pacesetters. Such schools should try to produce a new breed of professionals capable to successfully perform their role in the fast changing information needs of the society using new information technologies such as word processors, dedicated special purpose microcomputers, and telecommunication technology. The library schools should assume the role of leadership and responsibility to produce competent manpower for the present as well as future needs of different kinds of information centres including university libraries. It is often said that the 'future is uncertain', but the future of LIS professionals can be visualised now itself unless and until necessary measures are taken by the LIS teachers in particular to train the forthcoming incumbents with the most up-to-date curriculum emphasizing more on ICT skills so as to prepare the information professionals for leadership role. Mere blaming the librarians is not a solution to the visibility of librarianship, but at the same time, a unique accreditation or certification system, quality of education and distance education trend has to be monitored.
