Validation Of Digital Publishing Innovation Adoption Framework, Emmanuel Ifeduba

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Globally, digital publishing innovations have been shown to be effective in breaking down book production and distribution barriers. However, there has been a dearth of studies on digital publishing innovations (D.P.I.) in Nigeria, particularly as it relates to predictors of innovation adoption. This study, therefore, examined the extent to which perceived contextual factors and perceived relative advantage correlate with the extent of adoption of digital publishing innovations with a view to validating a framework to aid the adoption of digital publishing in developing environments. A framework modifying the diffusion of innovations theory and the Technology, Organisation, Environment theory was designed. …

Talent Management Strategy As A Catalyst At Singapore Management University (Smu) Libraries, Gulcin Cribb, Rajendra Munoo

Research Collection Library

With almost no natural resources, Singapore’s knowledge-based economy is dependent on its talent. The government has been advocating the critical importance of on-going upskilling of its citizens to become a smart nation in an increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world. Its recent SkillsFuture agenda was launched in 2016 to provide Singaporeans with the opportunities to develop their fullest potential throughout life. Universities are expected to support this initiative and provide industry specific education to build a competitive workforce that is based on a tripartite collaboration between government, industry and universities. Singapore Management University (SMU) too, has responded and …

Dare You 'Outsource' Your Library Freshmen Orientation To Student Facilitators? Why We Are Roaring About It At Singapore Management University Libraries, Redzuan Abdullah

Research Collection Library

Libraries are constantly seeking opportunities to evolve their library orientations in order to be more engaging and collaborative with students. In the lead-up to new term, SMU Libraries collaborated with the Office of Student Life (OSL), to pilot a peer-to-peer learning experience where student leaders conducted and facilitated the library orientation programme, which introduces new students to the physical and digital libraries. The trigger for this was the Provost’s Freshmen Experience Taskforce that mandated a review for a more coordinated orientation programme with the different offices and events for freshmen. The library was part of this taskforce that had traditionally …

Technology That Enables, Services That Empower, Yuyun Wirawati Ishak

Research Collection Library

Before 2016, the Library offered two different information desks: one for general/circulation enquiry and one for reference enquiry. The problem at that time was quite glaring: we were to open a new library branch, and if we replicated the information desks, we would have ended up with 4 different information desks, causing constraints in human resources and logistics.The solution seemed obvious: to merge the information desks into a single desk, hence cutting down the needs for staffing. The implementation, however, was not that straightforward. Staff who used to manage circulation enquiry were not comfortable with reference enquiry, and vice versa. …

Attitudinal, Normative, And Resource Factors Affecting Psychologists’ Intentions To Adopt An Open Data Badge: An Empirical Analysis, Lindsey M. Harper, Youngseek Kim

This research used a survey method to examine to what extent those attitudinal, normative, resource factors influence psychologists’ behavioral intentions to adopt an open data badge, and therefore engage in data sharing behaviors. A national survey (n = 341) across the field of psychology showed that perceived benefit and perceived risk had significant positive and negative relationships …

Library Reports and Communication

By Fall 2017, ULEIC, and the task force before it, had been successful in bringing training opportunities to the attention of Libraries faculty and staff.

• The vision/purpose for the committee
• It's relationships and partnerships with other library and campus groups
• The desired outcomes
• A new charge
• A workplan

This report summarizes the findings …
