Description

1. Equity in Research Preparedness: The Role of the Library in Promoting STEM Education in Underserved Communities

   Author: Windham, Amy Christine

   STEM fields lack diversity, especially regarding race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. Libraries can help address this by reassessing reference collections using feminist standpoint epistemology and diversity audits. Public libraries can also promote inclusion in the scientific community by offering STEM programs for children from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, academic libraries, especially those at community colleges, can support STEM students by providing tailored library instruction sessions.

2. Modeling and Automated Retrieval of Provenance Relationships

   Author: Schneider, Thomas

   This study investigates the querying and retrieval of provenance information, with an emphasis on modeling queries, data sources, and query answers. As a starting point, a set of prototypical queries in natural language is collected; these queries refer to bibliographic resources as well as relations between non-bibliographic entities such as owners of a resource. A literature review provides an overview of available data sources and techniques. In the main part, a generic approach to modeling data sources, queries, and query answers is developed, resulting in a graph-based model. Finally, an abstract method for implementing this model in a retrieval system is designed and discussed.

3. Leadership Development and Management Training Program in a Large Urban Public Library

   Authors: Lopez, Pablo

   A system-wide training program in a large, urban public library system is sought relating to library administration's expectations of branch manager roles in the field while developing library leaders. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological methodology to investigate branch manager perspectives on the needs of front-facing managers and their prospects as leaders within the library system. Emergent themes of the study included communication issues between site managers and system-wide administration, subject matter areas for the proposed program, and the viability of engaging branch managers through sustained leadership development. The study proposes a relevant action research plan to develop, implement and maintain a leadership development and management training program.
