Описание: Citation Tracking in Academic Libraries: An Overview presents results from the overarching need for researchers to get relevant advice for their scholarly pursuits. This is even more critical in the fast changing environment, where even those who are established scholars find the new scholarly publishing paradigm hectic, and amateurs get easily intimidated. . In the wake of the competitive ranking of universities, there is an added requirement for faculty to be involved with research activities so they can enhance the standing of their parent institutions. That means there is a need to use valid and authentic platforms for publishing. Making reference to already existing texts and answering questions that have been encountered by the author, the book is compiled to make easy, short, and concise reading that is an overview on the tracking of citations. . Besides giving suggestions on how academic librarians can provide support to scholars, it includes the benefit of having librarians who are also scholars.
Описание: As most institutions contemplate an enterprise digital content strategy for a growing number of digitized surrogates and born-digital assets, libraries, archives, and museums understand that these expanding needs can only be met by more flexible approaches offered by a multicomponent digital asset management ecosystem (DAME).
Описание: Proposes new ideas for reinventing reference collections and interfaces to fit the needs of today`s researchers. Chapters examine the issues of reference context and discoverability in school, public, and academic libraries as well as within the reference publishing community.
Libraries have historically played a role as a community builder, providing resources and spaces where knowledge can be archived, shared and created. They can also play a pivotal role in fostering the public's understanding of science and scientific processes. From makerspaces to data visualization labs to exhibits, many libraries already delve into scientific explorations and many more could join them. Scientists often need to include "broader impacts" goals in grant proposals, but they might not know where to begin or feel that they do not have the time to devote to public engagement. This is where libraries and librarians can help.
Research in science communication also supports tapping into libraries for public engagement with science. Studies show that it is important for scientists to present findings in an apolitical way--not aligning with one solution or one way of thinking and not being seen as an activist (Druckman, 2015; Jamieson & Hardy, 2014). One of the core tenets of librarians and libraries is to present information in a neutral way. Research also shows that Informal conversations about science can have a greater effect on people than reading about it online or hearing about it on the news (Eveland & Cooper, 2013). Again, libraries can play a role in fostering these types of conversations.
Given this landscape, this book will demonstrate concrete ways that libraries and librarians can play a role in fostering public engagement with science. In addition to background information on the current landscape of public knowledge and understanding of science, it will also include best practices and case studies of different types of programming and services that libraries can offer. Often libraries do not jump to mind when people think about science education or science literacy, and many librarians do not come from a science background. Literature on science programming and sharing science is largely absent from the library field. This book will help give confidence to librarians that they can participate in engaging the public with science. At the same time, it will provide a conduit to bring informal science educators, communication officers from universities or research organizations who share scientific discoveries with the public, and librarians together to explore ways to align their work to promote scientific literacy for all.

Описание:
Performance Measurement and Performance Indicators in Libraries: A Framework for Practitioners explores the concept that libraries across all sectors are continually asked to demonstrate their value and impact to their stakeholders. They can accomplish this through several quality assurance and performance measurement platforms, including library assessment, evaluation methodologies, surveys, and annual reporting.
One such tool in this area of activity is the Key Performance Indicator (KPI). KPIs are increasingly used to measure the performance of a library service. However, linking KPIs to quality outcomes such as impact and value can prove very difficult. This book discusses, in detail, the concept of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within the broader context of library assessment and performance measurement.
Through harvesting examples of current best practices in KPI usage from public, academic, and health libraries, the book demystifies library KPIs, providing a KPI toolkit for any library to make use of in setting meaningful KPIs against targets, charters, service standards, and quality outcomes. Provides best practice examples of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in librariesEmphasizes KPIs, demonstrating value and impact on the library user experienceIncludes practical and reusable examples of KPIs which can be applied in local contexts (a toolkit approach)Offers an understanding of reporting, monitoring, and acting upon KPI dataExplores the differences between usage statistics and meaningful KPIs
