Interpreting Workplace Learning In Terms Of Discourse And Community Of Practice (Presentation), Adrian K. Ho
Interpreting Workplace Learning In Terms Of Discourse And Community Of Practice (Presentation), Adrian K. Ho
Adrian K. Ho
Based on the ethnographic data collected from the workplace of an academic library, I argue that workplace learning (WL) is a situated socio-cognitive process. It is expedited by knowledge management (KM), which is a collective effort to generate, share, and institutionalize work-related knowledge. KM is inherent in the face-to-face conversational interactions embedded in planned formal training, planned informal sharing, and spontaneous informal learning. When face-to-face interaction is not possible, KM is accomplished through textualization. It helps the members of the workplace acquire new work-related knowledge and integrate it to their common, contextualized knowledge base. The contents of the knowledge base …

Translation Of Classifications: Issues And Solutions As Exemplified In The Korean Decimal Classification., Barbara H. Kwasnik, You-Lee Chun

The aim of this study was to describe how the Korean Decimal Classification (KDC), which is based on the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), accommodated translation and adaptation issues in making the scheme culturally hospitable. We made a concept-by-concept comparison of terms in selected sections of the KDC with the analogous terms or sections in the DDC, noting the differences and similarities of terms and structure. Our analysis suggests that, overall, the KDC succeeded in this endeavor, and that the process of adaptation made good use of several adaptive strategies identified in previous work: adjustments to term specificity and term location …

Thermal-Transfer Printing: A Better Way To Print Library Labels, Cheryl D. Walters
Thermal-Transfer Printing: A Better Way To Print Library Labels, Cheryl D. Walters
Cheryl D. Walters
Thermal-transfer printing, a technology borrowed from the manufacturing sector, offers libraries a flexible method for printing durable, accurate, legible, and attractive labels that reliably adhere to most book surfaces. When guided by an electronic program customized to meet a library’s particular needs, a thermal-transfer printing system offers virtually limitless variations in font, format, and functionality. It can print labels directly from the online catalog, thereby guaranteeing that call numbers on labels match what patrons see in the catalog. This article explains thermal-transfer printing and how it compares with other printing technologies, briefly explores applications in both the manufacturing and library …

A Framework For Creating A Facetted Classification For Genres: Addressing Issues Of Multidimensionality., Kevin Crowston, Barbara H. Kwasnik
A Framework For Creating A Facetted Classification For Genres: Addressing Issues Of Multidimensionality., Kevin Crowston, Barbara H. Kwasnik
Barbara H. Kwasnik
People recognize and use document genres as a way of identifying useful information and of participating in mutually understood communicative acts. Crowston and Kwasnik [1] discuss the possibility of improving information access in large digital collections through the identification and use of document genre metadata. They draw on the definition of genre proposed by Orlikowski and Yates [3], who describe genre as “a distinctive type of communicative action, characterized by a socially recognized communicative purpose and common aspects of form” (p. 543). Scholars in fields such as rhetoric and library science have attempted to describe and systematize the notion of …

The success of a 24x7 electronic reserves service requires a well configured and robustly managed system. Based upon a five-year successful experience of supporting Docutek’s ERes system at Saint Louis University, this paper discusses and examines the technical issues affecting the proper operation of the system. Areas covered include selecting an adequate server and scanner; proper server management; reducing PDF file size using various Acrobat 6 features; and interoperability between ERes and other systems.

This paper discusses the need for university libraries in Nigeria to support cyber-education or cyberscience. There is the move from the traditional print-based system to the automated system of library services. Most recently, the birth of digital environments has led to the introduction of virtual libraries and online services which enhance the output of libraries andmeet the demands of users in places where they have been adopted. This paper encourages the support of cyber-science or cyber-education in Nigerian university libraries as a way to meet the changing needs of university communities. It highlights the transitions from the old to the …
