It is also difficult to generalize the study’s findings due to: its small sample size (i.e., nine students’ topics); the use of keyword searching in the title field to obtain relevant results, which may not be a user’s typical searching behaviour; and the use of database testing criteria that are dependent on an individual library’s subscriptions rather than on database search performance (i.e., the use of the availability, retrievability, and accessibility criteria). keywords: database; results; search cache: eblip-9561.pdf plain text: eblip-9561.txt item: #1429 of 1455 id: eblip-9585 author: Chris Flodberg title: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice date: 2010-12-17 words: 625 flesch: -63 summary: Erin Alcock, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada Greg Bak, Library and Archives Canada, Canada Anthony Bernier, San Jose State University, United States of America Alissa Black-Dorward, Fordham University School of Law, United States of America Kate Boddy, Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, United Kingdom Andrew Booth, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Cara Bradley, University of Regina, Canada Marcy Brown, Silverchair Science & Communication, United States of America Jeanette Buckingham, University of Alberta, Canada Sandy Campbell, University of Alberta, Canada Deborah Charbonneau, Wayne State University, United States of America Amanda Click, American University in Cairo, Egypt Lisa Cotter, Newcastle University, Australia Sandy DeGroote, University of Illinois at Chicago, United States of America Lani Draper, Stephen F.

Due to the high standard deviation (5.71), however, and the fact that many librarians indicated difficulty providing precise figures, these percentages should only be used as general estimates. keywords: information; knowledge; librarians; teaching cache: eblip-9923.pdf plain text: eblip-9923.txt item: #1443 of 1455 id: eblip-9924 author: Chris Flodberg title: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice date: 2011-06-24 words: 1202 flesch: 45 summary: Thus, this article contributes to discussions about the best ways to administer field work experiences so as to ensure that library students receive practical training that adequately prepares them for careers in a rapidly changing profession.

Contributions made by library staff to aid availability in archival collections were excluded from the data sets, because the study was focused on community participation in the learning environment. keywords: participation; web cache: eblip-9932.pdf plain text: eblip-9932.txt item: #1447 of 1455 id: eblip-9943 author: Katrine Mallan title: eblip-9943 date: 2011-09-15 words: 921 flesch: 39 summary: Conclusion – Examining middle managers’ perceptions of shared leadership may help us understand organizational trends and capacity for leadership within libraries. The problem statement speaks in part of actual levels of shared leadership, but questionnaires can only gauge respondents’ perceptions of shared leadership – an important distinction that seems to be somewhat blurred although acknowledged. keywords: leadership; library cache: eblip-9943.pdf plain text: eblip-9943.txt item: #1448 of 1455 id: eblip-9969 author: Chris Flodberg title: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice date: 2011-06-24 words: 863 flesch: 39 summary: Commentary This study set out to investigate the connection between library strategic plans and annual reports, and to use this comparison to assess strategic credibility.

A follow-up on utilization of library space since the redesign and development of the Academic Commons would be more effective and provide more evidence as to the importance of space planning. keywords: library; space; study cache: eblip-9970.pdf plain text: eblip-9970.txt item: #1450 of 1455 id: eblip-9971 author: Chris Flodberg title: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice date: 2011-06-24 words: 1728 flesch: 47 summary: Abstract Objective – To determine whether the methodological search filters in OvidSP MEDLINE and OvidSP EMBASE also known as Clinical Queries hedges had been modified from the originals which were written by the McMaster University Health Information Research Unit Hedges Group (the Haynes Group) and whether the translations of these hedges by the National Library of Medicine used in PubMed and EBSCO MEDLINE were reliable. Next, she manually entered the original Haynes Group published hedge search strings for each clinical query in these databases, and compared the results to the Clinical Queries. keywords: author; hedges; medline cache: eblip-9971.pdf plain text: eblip-9971.txt item: #1451 of 1455 id: eblip-9979 author: Chris Flodberg title: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice date: 2011-06-24 words: 2089 flesch: 41 summary: Therefore, it is more meaningful to compare the career path and career movement of chief librarians in public libraries with public librarians only. Abstract Objectives – The main objectives of this study were the following: • to analyze the career path and career movement of librarians in Korea • to identify and compare factors influencing the career movement path of chief librarians in public libraries and other librarians • to determine library positions’ turnover rates, average career retention, career reinstatement, proximity between careers, and proximity between different libraries Design – Survey questionnaire. keywords: career; chief; librarians; library cache: eblip-9979.pdf plain text: eblip-9979.txt item: #1452 of 1455 id: eblip-9980 author: Katrine Mallan title: eblip-9980 date: 2011-09-15 words: 3580 flesch: 46 summary: A more fundamental defect is that his article displays only perfunctory sensitivity to the inherent weaknesses of citation analysis – or, as in his case more specifically, references list analysis – as a research method. Line (1977, 1978) found that citation analyses were of no value, and were indeed irrelevant, to practical librarianship. keywords: analysis; citation; information; journal; library; research; resources; students cache: eblip-9980.pdf plain text: eblip-9980.txt item: #1453 of 1455 id: eblip-9981 author: Chris Flodberg title: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice date: 2011-06-24 words: 1741 flesch: 52 summary: Subjects — A total of 3966 search results obtained from Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed.
