Abstract:

This study is designed to reveal whether students acquire the domains and levels of library skills discussed in a learning library skills theory after participating in an online library instruction tutorial. The acquisition of the library skills is demonstrated through a review of the scores on online tutorial quizzes, responses to a library skills questionnaire, and bibliographies of course research papers. Additional areas to be studied are the characteristics of the participants enrolled in traditional and online courses at a community college and the possible influence of these characteristics on the demonstrated learning of library skills. Multiple measurement methods, identified through assessment of library instruction literature, are used to verify the effectiveness of the library skills theory and to strengthen the validity and reliability of the study results.

Abstract:

The problem was to identify and assess the policy basis for the universal policy of colleges to have library operation programs. Colleges are higher education institutions whose main business is the delivery of college education, undergraduate instruction, leading to baccalaureate degrees. The conventional wisdom--the explanation of policy basis given in the literature--is a construct here called the College Library Doctrine. According to it, there is a fundamental relationship between the library operation program and the delivery of college education, undergraduate instruction. This relationship is said to be the result of historical process.;The College Library Doctrine was analyzed using a forensic or investigative approach. This approach looked for consistency and/or contradiction, treating the literature as data or evidence.;As a result of the analysis it was found that the same data or evidence supports a quite different explanation of why colleges have library operation programs. This alternative explanation of policy basis has little to do with the delivery of college education, undergraduate instruction. The existence of this quite different alternative explanation raises a serious reasonable doubt over the existence of the fundamental relationship posited by the College Library Doctrine.;The unresolved doubt, along with the recurrence of the college library operation program in the arena of institutional reputation, in topics such as "quality," image, and prestige--through such phenomena as accreditation, ratings, rankings, and media coverage--suggest a policy relocation of the college library operation program from its usual but problematic placement in the broad area of "academic support," to a different venue, "institutional support." Enhancement of institutional reputation is an important part of institutional support. In this relocation there would be a better fit between policy basis and policy; and there, accordingly, the institutional support benefit and potential of the library operation program might be maximized.;The Appendix recalls an early question of the analysis conceptualization and demonstrates that, whether or not the results and conclusions of the analysis itself are accepted, there are decisive flaws in attempts to prescribe college library program resource allocation on the basis of historical data.

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 133-138).
This dissertation focuses on an investigation that was conducted to find out the state of knowledge management in the Kamuzu College of Nursing and Bunda College of Agriculture libraries, constituent college libraries of the University of Malawi. Drawing from the literature on knowledge management, the study proposed and implemented two models for the maturity assessment and implementation of knowledge management respectively. The study used the models successfully to measure the levels of maturity of knowledge management and identify the knowledge needs and knowledge assets of the libraries. The results of the study revealed that both libraries are at the same level of knowledge management maturity i.e. knowledge management is still in its infancy as they did not have clearly established strategies to make use of knowledge. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the two libraries in the various aspects of knowledge management investigated. The study therefore recommended a road map for implementing knowledge management in the libraries. Knowledge management is recognised by many organisations of strategic importance to improving an organisation?s performance and its competitive advantage. Knowledge management thus has been largely associated with profit making organisations. However, knowledge management is also applicable to non-profit making organisations such as academic libraries. The environment in which academic libraries operate continuously changes and it is therefore imperative for the libraries to use knowledge management as a tool to adapt and remain relevant.

Abstract:

This article reports the findings of an investigation into merger experiences of several libraries of colleges of higher education in Flanders. The purpose of the study was to gain first hand knowledge from institutions who recently merged; especially, what best practices to follow and what to avoid. Data was gathered with a mail questionnaire and followed by personal interviews with the heads of the selected libraries concerned. The article includes topics such as the composition and tasks of merger task teams, most difficult issues in the planning phase, the role of consultants, how progress is monitored and communicated, dealing with different organisational cultures, decisions that have an impact on merger outcomes, appointment of a post-merger library head, duration of a merger, do’s and don’ts, outcomes of library mergers, and challenges of library mergers. It is concluded with a list of lessons that other libraries can learn from the Flemish experience and indicates whether a particular lesson is supported by the merger literature or not.

Abstract:

Academic libraries and their parent institutions are experiencing increasing social, technological, economic, and political pressure in the twenty-first century. While the academic library literature contains numerous discussions and case studies illuminating how larger academic libraries are engaging in organizational change and experimentation to respond to those pressures, libraries in smaller academic institutions are underrepresented in those professional discussions.

This study examines liberal arts college libraries engaged in transformational change. It explores ways academic libraries are aligning their purpose and services with the missions, strategic priorities, and challenges of their parent institutions. Through four case studies, it examines how library directors create change visions, enroll staff and stakeholders in those visions, and the skills, tools, and strategies they use to lead and manage organizational change.

Data were collected using narrative inquiry, a qualitative methodology. Participants included library directors, provosts, and senior management team members. After analyzing the data, two organizational change theories were applied. The first theory focuses on what was changed—the antecedents and consequences. The second organizational change theory focuses on how the change was done—strategies, tools, and actions.

Data analysis reveals several findings. Directors who employed the greatest range of political intelligence, emotional intelligence, and transformational leadership skills were the most successful in creating lasting, radical organizational change. They were also most likely to align that change with the mission and needs of the colleges they served. Directors who used frame bending rather than frame breaking approaches to envisioning and communicating change were more successful in enrolling both library staff and academic stakeholders in their change strategies and change goals.

The results of this study contribute to an understanding of how smaller college libraries are leading and managing change. The findings identify potential obstacles to successful change and provide examples of strategies used by other change leaders to mitigate or surmount those obstacles. Those findings may be of value to other academic library change leaders. Finally, this study also identifies change leadership skills and strategies that were effective within the unique environment of academic institutions which have a decentralized environment, distributed power and authority, and a shared allegiance to the organization's history and culture.

Abstract:

This paper examines the practice of Critical Success Factors approach and presents results of application of the Priority and Performance evaluation methodology within the University College Library in Borås. The objective was to report on actual application of this evaluation methodology in identification of critical success factors and the areas, which warrant particular attention. Furthermore, to focus on the interrelationship between priorities and performances of librarys services and functions. The descriptive and exploratory study used a qualitative case-study approach, employing an interview with an interview guide together with the collection of appropriate corporate documents as the main data collection technique, supplemented by questionnaires. Content analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from the interview and the documents for identifying the critical success factors while data for priority and performance analysis was derived from a survey of students and teachers belonging to various categories six departments of University College of Borås. The Critical Success Factors that were identified in this study were grouped under a number of headings and a few major areas and these were refined into more detailed subject categories under which key functions and activities were identified too. The outcomes of priority and performance survey provided useful information about the librarys performances. The study revealed the applicability of the CSF and Priority and Performance.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the effects of stack end signage on user wayfinding success in searches in academic libraries. Site visits to the Chapel Hill Public Library and the Cameron Village Branch Library provided models for test signage for the study, as did the available literature on wayfinding and effective library signage. A three week study was conducted to survey the effects of three different iterations of signage on the success of subjects performing test searches—the subjects used the UNC Chapel Hill online catalog and the posted signage to locate materials in the Sloane Art Library. The results of the study were evaluated qualitatively and suggestions were made for further study and suggestions for elements of effective academic library signage were made.

Full text

Abstract:

Theological libraries have tended to be treated as a homogeneous group with no distinction being made between the different types. Little has been written about the libraries of UK Christian theological colleges that train men and women for ministry. The purpose of this research was to provide some understanding of the context in which they operate. In addition it sought to establish their effectiveness in meeting the ongoing needs of their user communities. Using three college libraries, a multi-method approach was employed in order to reveal the environment in which these libraries functioned. The study comprised reviewing college documentation, using a questionnaire survey and undertaking semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. An analysis of the interview findings is presented, together with the data obtained from the questionnaire survey and focus groups. The main issues that emerged were those concerning the changes in the delivery of theological education and the implications of these for resource provision. The need of the denominational churches to increase their recruitment for ministry whilst simultaneously reducing costs was found to have been the main driving force for change within theological education. The research found that the introduction of flexible training pathways and the diverse range of students that were now recruited for training had little effect on the way in which the traditional library service was provided by the colleges. It was concluded that since academic learning is only one aspect of ministerial training, resource provision had been given insufficient consideration and funding. This had inhibited the growth and development of the library service and prevented the college libraries from satisfying the needs of their part-time users in particular. This study makes an important contribution to the knowledge of theological college librarianship by providing an understanding of the prevailing issues and concerns. Further areas of research have been identified and conclusions drawn which are of relevance to the theological college library sector.

Abstract:

As city dwellers, we are students of our environment, continuously learning how to interact with and contribute to the urban realm and to the world at large. This thesis explores how a school can expand the culture of a neighborhood, how a neigborhood can shape the identity of a city, and how a city can cultivate the growth of a person. The project consists of a master plan for a community college, mixed-use neighborhood, traffic circle, and streetcar station. Within the larger plan sits a Library and Student Center, which emerges as the iconic piece of architecture for the school and the neighborhood.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the donation of books made by Alexander Thistlethwayte (?1718–1771), a Hampshire grandee and bibliophile, to the Fellows’ Library of Winchester College, the oldest of the English public schools. The first two chapters demonstrate the largely untapped potential of two unique books in the Thistlethwayte benefaction to advance scholarly understanding of topics relating to the copying and transmission of early modern literary texts. The second part of the thesis examines the collecting habits which shaped the physical configuration of Thistlethwayte’s books and the contents of his library. Chapter Three rediscovers the role of the anthology in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century cultures of compilation, through a comparison of Sammelbände assembled by Thistlethwayte with those that he acquired from an Oxford graduate of the 1690s. Chapter Four traces the growth of Thistlethwayte’s library in the context of his life as a gentleman, taking in evidence from Thistlethwayte’s later donation of books to his alma mater, Wadham College, Oxford. The thesis concludes by reflecting on the conditions of access to the Fellows’ Library from which this doctoral project has benefited, and considers ways of extending the benefits of access and community engagement to scholars and the wider public.

Abstract:

During the Spring 1997 semester, students at Glendale Community College in Glendale, Arizona were surveyed on their use of dial-up access to electronic databases provided by libraries. In addition, the community college and public libraries in Maricopa County were surveyed to determine which electronic databases they provide by dial-up access. Comparison between these two forms of data collection revealed that a rich variety of electronic databases are available to community college students. Many of the students have the equipment required to take advantage of these resources, combined with a desire to use these resources to increase the flexibility of their options for performing research. The greatest barrier to use was a lack of realization that such resources were available. Community college libraries should advertise access information to make students aware of these options.

Abstract:

Higher education administrators need data on student perceptions to support their decision making regarding mobile learning (m-learning) applications. There is a lack of research addressing students' perceptions of mobile applications for course management systems (CMS). The findings of this study may help administrators understand students' perceptions of a CMS m-learning application, Blackboard Mobile Learn (BML). This m-learning application is available on mobile devices, such as the iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, Android, and Blackberry smartphones. The purpose of this quantitative survey study was to explore the linear relationship between the independent variables of students' perceptions of usefulness and students' perceptions of ease of use with the dependent variable of the students' intent to use BML. The technology acceptance model (TAM) provided the theoretical framework. The study was a survey-based cross-sectional design in which 98 students from 2 community colleges were polled. The results of multiple regression analyses indicated that students' perceptions of usefulness and students' perceptions of ease of use were both significantly and positively related to students' intent to use BML. The results of t tests for population means where the variances are unknown confirmed the students' intent to use many of the specific functions of BML: Announcements, Information, Contacts, and My Grades. The findings were inconclusive for Discussions, Assignments, and Course Documents. This study is significant in that it provides college administrators and faculty with supportive data, giving students a new educational platform: mobile learning. The key positive social change provided is a CMS m-learning solution for students to be lifelong learners.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore students' perceptions of library services offered at Walters State Community College. This research involved LibQUAL+™, a nationally known academic library assessment instrument that measures three dimensions on a scale of approximately 22 aspects of service, divided into 6 groups (Heath, Kyrillidou, & Askew, 2004, p.264). These 3 dimensions are the following: Affect of Service (AS), Information Control (IC), and Library as a Place (LP). Responses of 666 students at Walters State Community College, Morristown, Tennessee, indicated the students' perceptions of acceptable minimum level of service, perceived levels of service, and desired levels of service. Each dimension was assessed by mean scores and p values to determine students' level of satisfaction with the library. Independent samples t tests were conducted to analyze the association between perceived means of the 3 service quality dimensions for the following: (1) Walters State Community College compared to 4 other community colleges, (2) male and female students at Walters State Community College, (3) traditional students 22 years old and younger and nontraditional students over age 22 at Walters State Community College. Pearson's correlation was conducted to analyze the relationship between library budgets and library services. Based on the findings of this study, Walters State Community College Library's mean scores were higher than the other 4 community college's in the 3 service quality dimensions. However, Walters State Community College's results indicated substantial room for improvement in the Affect of Service dimension. The mean scores between male and female students at Walters State College showed no differences among the 3 service quality dimensions. The findings also indicated that nontraditional students over age 22 rated Affect of Service and Information Control higher than did traditional students age 22 and younger. In addition, findings indicated a fairly strong relationship between library budget and the Information Control dimension for the 5 community colleges studied. The data offered in this study provided useful information for library self-study and ideas for improving the college's library services.

Abstract:

This study focuses on an examination of students and faculty perceptions or library use and seeks to determine if faculty consider library use for class activities a requirement. In order to accomplish this objective, this query was designed to assess library use and perceptions by the clientele of two diverse educational institutions in Sitka, Alaska. The clientele studied included students and full-time teaching faculty at Islands Community College and Sheldon Jackson College. Both institutions are served by a common library facility. The population was defined as the students and full-time teaching faculty who were enrolled or employed by the colleges during the spring of 1988. The sample included 100 students and 31 faculty from the two institutions who responded to surveys. A review of related literature showed much concern and interest in library user studies, but no evaluation of the nonuser. This report describes the results of the spring 1988 survey of student and faculty users and nonusers of collections and services at Stratton Library. User frequency, composition of user clienteles, preferred media format, and users’ perceptions of services offered are described. A brief history of the consortium setting is also provided. Since this investigation dealt with the response of clientele of two institutions using a joint facility and employed a strategy for gaining perceptions from nonusers, new knowledge concerning evaluation of library use and perceptions studies was obtained. Because no control of the population was possible, survey format was used and students in English classes from both institutions were given a 34-item self-reporting questionnaire. Similar instruments were mailed to full-time teaching faculty. Because data in this descriptive study can only describe the subjects and institutions involved in the study, no inferential statistics were reported. However, appropriate descriptive statistics, frequency counts, percentages and cross-tabulations were obtained for the respondents of each institution and tables were developed to allow a search for similarities and difference in the respondents were similar in their perceptions of library use and their perceptions of the helpfulness of the library staff; similar in their preference of materials format. They were dissimilar in their perception of the adequacy of library services for their expressed needs. The responses on the written survey indicated that students and faculty do, to some extent, use Stratton Library. However, based on the results of the recent study, more emphasis is needed on making users and potential users more aware of the services.

Abstract:

Given the increased use of microcomputers in school library media centers to perform a wide variety of tasks, library educators should address the integration of microcomputers into the library media curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to describe how library educators were integrating microcomputer applications such as word processing, database management, spreadsheets, and other applications into the library education curriculum. A secondary purpose was using the results of the study as a framework for the integration of microcomputer applications in appropriate areas of library media core courses at Armstrong State College, Georgia. Savannah. The specific research questions addressed in the study were as follows: How were library media educators currently providing instruction in microcomputers? How many undergraduate level library programs used microcomputer applications? What types of microcomputers were being used? How were microcomputer applications being used? Which courses used microcomputer applications? What kinds of microcomputer applications were being used by library media educators? How many library educators used locally produced applications? What were the content areas of locally produced applications? What provisions had been made for the availability of microcomputers? What factors had limited the extent to which library media educators were able to introduce microcomputer applications? What relationships existed between geographic region and program type and providing instruction in microcomputers as a part of the undergraduate library education program? In an effort to ascertain the extent to which library educators were using microcomputers, a survey questionnaire was mailed to 357 library educators representing 213 undergraduate library education programs in the United States. Of the 357 library educators mailed questionnaires, there were 202 returns or a 57 percent rate of return. Of this number, 92 responses were excluded from consideration because some institutions were no longer offering undergraduate library education programs, others offered only graduate programs, some library educators had retired or moved, other library educators had checked the First box on the questionnaire indicating that the teaching of library education courses was not one of their current responsibilities, and one respondent did not participate because the school had closed. These questionnaires were eliminated from the study; only 110 questionnaires were used. The nature of the data suggested the use of descriptive percentages. Statistics, primarily frequencies and However, chi-square analysis was used to determine whether a significant relationship existed between geographic region of library educators or program type and current use of microcomputers in library education. Results of the survey showed that 87, or 79.1 percent of the library educators representing 75 undergraduate programs were introducing microcomputer applications into the library education curriculum. Perhaps the most significant fact was that the majority of library educators were currently providing instruction in microcomputers by using a separate course or integrating microcomputer applications in library education courses. Cataloging was the course that most frequently incorporated microcomputer applications. Complementing lectures was the instructional method most frequently identified. In-class instruction was used to prepare and train students to use microcomputers. Word processing was the application most frequently used and Word Perfect was the word processing program of choice. Apple and IBM were the predominant brands used by library educators. Most microcomputers were located in a room designated as a computer lab or in the library. Finally, a lack of funds was the reason most cited as the greatest barrier in integrating microcomputer applications in library education courses. It was concluded that most library educators were introducing microcomputers in the library education curriculum. Recommendations were suggested for ways to integrate microcomputer applications into the library education curriculum. It was recommended that library educators introduce microcomputers into their curricula or existing core courses so that microcomputer applications could be an integral part of the library education program. It was recommended that a separate required introductory computer course be required for all students. That, in addition to the separate required course, microcomputer applications should be integrated into all core courses where appropriate. A systematic plan was developed that would serve as a guide for implementing the integration of microcomputer applications into library media core courses at Armstrong State College, Savannah, Georgia.

Abstract:

This study explored how undergraduate library student workers at an urban, 4-year public institution perceived their work experiences in an academic library as contributing to their social and academic integration in college. Tinto's (1993) model on student departure formed the basis for this study where academic and social integration work together to influence institutional commitments ultimately leading to the decision to remain or leave the college. Undergraduate library student workers from various library departments were interviewed and it is from these interviews that a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of an academic library's effect on undergraduate library student workers was gained. The study revealed that the undergraduate library student workers perceived experiencing many socially integrative and academically integrative experiences which they would not have had were they not employed in an academic library. After the data are discussed, the theoretical implications, policy implications, and suggestions for further research are offered.
