微案例及其在管理教育中的应用

区别于大案例、粗案例和例子,微案例因其短小精悍、针对性强,在管理教育中具有知识聚焦、撰写容易、使用方便、组织便利、推广便捷等价值。为有效做好微案例教学,微案例的撰写应注意内容的知识性与表述的趣味性、篇幅的精简性与信息的充足性、描述的客观性与语言的可读性相结合,并配备相应的教学手册。同时,要充分重视教学准备、课堂组织、总结点评、课后反思等教学环节。     

基于目标导向的银行理财产品最优费率研究

建立基于银行目标导向的理财产品费率模型,通过对不同目标下银行行为的讨论,得出理财产品费率调整的一个分析框架。研究发现：存在使银行的经济效益和社会效益综合提升程度最大的最优理财产品费率;最优费率不是固定值,而是一个动态概念;单纯考虑经济效益时,银行将调高理财产品费率;银行调高理财产品费率,将提升自身综合目标的实现程度;银行调低理财产品费率,并不改变银行的综合目标。     

Little Magazines and Translations

Abstract

Serials and the serials information chain have changed rapidly since the development of the electronic journal. Many recent developments are briefly described, including electronic resource management systems (ERMS) and functional requirements for bibliographic records (FRBR). The constantly changing nature of serials is compared to a psychological midlife crisis.     

2008 North American Serials Interest Group Conference: Taking the Sting out of Serials!

Abstract

The twelfth annual MOBIUS Conference was held June 7–9, 2011, at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia, Missouri. The MOBIUS consortium of Missouri is currently composed of fifty-nine academic libraries, two public libraries, and the Missouri State Library. The conference offered various opportunities, including a keynote address by Meredith Farkas and a networking dessert session on the first night. The second day featured six concurrent sessions, each having six different presentations, along with delicious food, generous door prizes, and the chance to meet with vendors. The third day consisted of four different four-hour post-conference training sessions. Presentations are available for download from the conference Web site.¹

Rethinking Print Periodicals Holdings Retention Policy in Small Academic Libraries

Abstract

Collection development policies in small academic libraries may lack a formal policy statement about print periodical holdings retention. However, there is a need for a distinct policy about print periodicals holdings and their retention. Periodicals collections at academic libraries have been greatly affected by publishers’ decisions to discontinue print journal formats and move to online-only electronic versions. The move from one format to another produces challenges to the retention of an effective print periodicals collection. Given these continuous changes in publication format, it is necessary for academic libraries to rethink their print periodicals holdings retention. This article will present a literature review on and case study of periodicals collection management and explore strategies for developing holdings policies and guidelines for retention. It will argue that collection development policies ought to include a separate policy for the print periodicals collection and that unlike their reputation for being time-consuming and inflexible, periodical retention policies can improve flexibility and guide in decision making, helping to preserve core titles and acquire new titles that support academic programs and the work of the college community.     

Preserving Open Access

Abstract

Libraries have an established track record of preserving the scholarly record, but this stewardship role has generally been exercised over materials the library has purchased or otherwise acquired. With open access publishing, the library’s role in preservation is less certain, as libraries may facilitate access to a wide array of freely accessible materials without ever obtaining any copies. Additionally, the open access landscape includes many small noncommercial publishers with limited resources that may not be able to invest in long term preservation and access. In this column, Courtney McAllister, Electronic Resources Librarian at Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale University, discusses preservation concerns and strategies for open access publications and how libraries may be affected by unstable or unpredictable long-term access.     

Estimation of the Proportion of Defective Units by Using Group Testing Under the Existence of a Threshold of Detection

Group testing procedures, in which groups containing several units are tested without testing each unit, are widely used as cost-effective procedures in estimating the proportion of defective units in a population. A problem arises when we apply these procedures to the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), because the analytical instrument for detecting GMOs has a threshold of detection. If the group size (i.e., the number of units within a group) is large, the GMOs in a group are not detected due to the dilution even if the group contains one unit of GMOs. Thus, most people conventionally use a small group size (which we call conventional group size) so that they can surely detect the existence of defective units if at least one unit of GMOs is included in the group. However, we show that we can estimate the proportion of defective units for any group size even if a threshold of detection exists; the estimate of the proportion of defective units is easily obtained by using functions implemented in a spreadsheet. Then, we show that the conventional group size is not always optimal in controlling a consumer's risk, because such a group size requires a larger number of groups for testing.     

地方政府教育管理公众满意度指数模型构建及实证研究

分析影响地方政府教育管理公众满意度的主要因素,在借鉴美国经典顾客满意度指数模型的基础上,建立了由公众信任、教育行政部门形象、公众满意度、公众感知价值、公众感知质量与公众期望六个结构变量组成的政府教育管理公众满意度测评模型（GEMPSI）,并对湖南省5个市（州）政府教育管理公众满意度测评进行了实证研究。最后对实证测评结果进行了分析,有针对地提出了改进地方政府教育管理公众满意度水平的具体对策。     

辛亥革命前后治边理念及其演变

辛亥革命前后,面对中国边疆民族地区日益严峻的形势,在新旧思想交替、中西观念汇聚的背景下,各界人士在民族关系、边疆治理方面提出了许多建议和意见,反映了当时的相关理念,仿殖民体制和同化就是其中的重要内容。本文探讨了当时仿殖民体制和同化治边理念的内涵及变化,认为如果回归到特定的历史环境中进行分析,研究者会更加全面地评价这些理念及其影响。
