Dee Ann Allison, University of NebraskaLincoln, USA Libraries in the USA and globally are undergoing quiet revolution. Libraries are moving away from a philosophy that is collection-centered to one focused on service. Technology is key to that change. The Patron-Driven Library explores the way technology has moved the focus from library collections to services, placing the reader at the center of library activities. The book reveals the way library users are changing, and how social networking, web delivery of information, and the uncertain landscape of e-print has energized librarians to adopt technology to meet a different model of the library while preserving core values. Following an introduction, the first part begins with the historical milieu, and moves on to current challenges for financing and acquiring materials, and an exploration of why the millennial generation is transformational. The second part examines how changes in library practice can create a culture for imagining library services in an age of information overflow. The final chapter asks: Whither the library? CONTENTS

Introduction: Patron-centered libraries. Part 1 Connections from the past to the present. Part 2 Rise of the librarian.

NEW Achieving Transformational Change in Academic Libraries

Brendan Ryan, Rhode Island College, USA

Stephen Mossop, University of Exeter, UK

The digital is the new milieu in which academic libraries must serve their patrons; but how best to utilize the slew of digital devices and their surrounding trends? Optimizing Academic Library Services in the Digital Milieu identifies best practices and strategies for using digital devices (such as tablets, e-readers, and smartphones) and copyrighted materials in academic libraries. Special consideration is given to e-books, iBooks, e-journals, and digital textbooks. This title describes how academic libraries can remain current, nimbly addressing user needs. An introduction gives an overview of technology in academic libraries, including the foundations of copyright law and user behavior in relation to digital content. Three parts then cover: digital rights management (DRM); practical approaches to e-content for librarians; and emerging pedagogy and technology. Finally, the book concludes by telling libraries how to remain agile and adaptable as they navigate the digital milieu.

Academic libraries undergo episodes of strategic change. Transformational change may be seen as fundamentally different from other kinds of change. Deep level cultural change is often part of the process. At the individual level this may be traumatic, but at the strategic level, such change can prove essential. Drawing on experiences at the University of Exeter and elsewhere, Achieving Transformational Change in Academic Libraries explores the purpose and nature of ‘Transformational Change’ and its exponents, and discusses the benefits and limitations of its place in an academic library setting. The title is divided into five chapters, covering: a definition of transformational change; drivers of transformational change and its place in a strategic change agenda; selling the vision of cultural change; human resource issues and cultural change; and the nature of change as a constant.

CONTENTS

Overview to the state of technology in academic libraries. Part 1 Digital Rights Management (DRM). Part 2 Practical approaches to e-content for librarians. Part 3 Emerging pedagogy and technology; Conclusion: Remaining nimble and adaptable to survive in the digital milieu.

Library management NEW Electronic Resource Management Practical perspectives in a new technical services model Anne Elguindi and Kari Schmidt, American University Library, USA Many libraries combine print and e-serials in one unit, but the different workflows for the two formats, combined with the different responsibilities associated with the management of the two formats, have caused challenges for conceptualising that all ‘serials’ work together. Electronic Resource Management tackles the central issues with the concepts of the access and management of electronic resources. It highlights the different kinds of e-resources, from e-serials and e-books to databases and digital collections that continue to bring new developments to a field that requires different systems and skills than those needed for print resources.

Library Technology and User Services

Strategic Business Development for Information Centres and Libraries

Planning, integration, and usability engineering Anthony Chow and Tim Bucknall, University of North Carolina, USA

Margareta Nelke, I.C. at Once, Sweden

Written as a technology guide for students, practitioners, and administrators, the focus of this book is on introducing current and future trends in library technology and automation within the larger context of strategic and systems planning, implementation, and continuous improvement. Technology is an essential resource for attaining both organizational and patron goals, and planning needs to emphasize the alignment between the clearly defined goals of each. For this alignment to occur on a consistent basis goals must be designed, or engineered, in a systematic fashion where technology fulfils the need to deliver the desired outcomes in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The concept of usability engineering is also examined, where the technology is planned, designed, and implemented in such a way as to maximize utility and ease-of-use for users and employees. Readers of this book will understand both the why and the how of library technology, planning, and implementation articulated in simple, easy-to-understand fashion. CONTENTS

Stone tablets, paper and the Internet: The same old library? Strategic planning, organizational goals and technology: What and for whom? Customized fashion: Finding the right fit; Technology and budgeting; Evaluation: Is technology meeting the needs of the organization’s users? Emerging technology trends in libraries.

Petros Kostagiolas, Ionian University, Greece Aimed at library practitioners and academics of all levels, Managing Intellectual Capital in Libraries explores the exciting area of intellectual capital management in libraries. The presence of intellectual capital in libraries is largely intangible; however, in the economy of knowledge we must constantly make informed decisions regarding non-tangible, non-monetary, invisible resources in order to better understand their possible usages, structure, production and value. Intellectual capital-based library management is a key issue, fostering innovation that improves a library’s operations and services. Intellectual capital has become the buzzword of knowledge-based economies, and is the ultimate source of competitive advantage. This book provides guidelines, methods and techniques for managing intellectual capital in a library environment. Analysis is accompanied by examples and case studies for intellectual capital utilization in libraries. CONTENTS

Libraries in the knowledge economy: Introducing intellectual capital concepts; Libraries’ Worlds of Production and intellectual capital utilization; Identifying and categorizing intellectual capital in libraries; Measuring libraries’ intellectual capital; Financial valuation and reporting of intellectual capital in libraries; Survival analysis for libraries’ intellectual capital resources; Putting it all together: Summary and final thoughts for further research.

Libraries must negotiate a range of legal issues, policies and ethical guidelines when developing scholarly communication initiatives. Library Scholarly Communication Programs is a practical primer, covering these issues for institutional repository managers, library administrators, and other staff involved in library-based repository and publishing services. The title is composed of three parts. Part one explores institutional repositories and part two covers library publishing services. Part three concludes with strategies for creating an internal infrastructure, comprised of policy, best practices and education initiatives, which will support the legal and ethical practices discussed in the book.

Private Philanthropic Trends in Academic Libraries is written with the senior library administrator and the development officers of academic institutions in mind. Chapters provide a historical perspective of the funding trends of the private philanthropic foundations and corporate giving programs towards academic libraries during the first decade of the 21st century. Library fundraisers and library administrators are presented with the information needed to start the process of selecting which grant maker agencies to approach. Chapters discuss which grant-making philanthropic foundations and corporate-giving programs will be more receptive to grant monies to library projects, which types of library projects they will be more likely to fund, and how to approach these agencies in order to increase the possibilities of receiving grant awards from them.

NEW Achieving Transformational Change in Academic Libraries Stephen Mossop, University of Exeter, UK Academic libraries undergo episodes of strategic change. Transformational change may be seen as fundamentally different from other kinds of change. Deep level cultural change is often part of the process. At the individual level this may be traumatic, but at the strategic level, such change can prove essential. Drawing on experiences at the University of Exeter and elsewhere, Achieving Transformational Change in Academic Libraries explores the purpose and nature of ‘Transformational Change’ and its exponents, and discusses the benefits and limitations of its place in an academic library setting. The title is divided into five chapters, covering: a definition of transformational change; drivers of transformational change and its place in a strategic change agenda; selling the vision of cultural change; human resource issues and cultural change; and the nature of change as a constant. CONTENTS

What is transformational change; I wouldn’t start from here; That’s not how we do things here; It’s all about people; When does it End?

Library management NEW Managing Integrated First-Line Support in Academic Libraries

NEW Workplace Culture in Academic Libraries

Mike Berrington and Julie Partridge, Nottingham Trent University, UK

The early 21st Century

The academic library service environment is changing, higher education is becoming increasingly consumer-oriented and libraries are part of the institutional response to that trend. In particular the experience of day to day interaction with library services is affected by this – student expectations have rightly increased and libraries in the U.K. and elsewhere are looking for ways of presenting their services in a joined-up student centric way. Managing Integrated First-Line Support in Academic Libraries offers answers to these challenges. The book begins by tracing the development of the student as customer, before defining support from a customer perspective. Next, it looks at the basis of an integrated first-line support service, the challenges and opportunities of staff recruitment and training, before looking at how to monitor service quality, and the use of technology in first-line support. Managing Integrated First-Line Support concludes with an eye to the future of integrated support. CONTENTS

The development of the student as customer; Defining support from the perspective of the customer – surveys, feedback, customer journey mapping etc; The basis of an integrated first-line support service - library, IT, eLearning, study skills; Staff recruitment, development and training - challenges and opportunities; Monitoring service quality service standards and KPIs; The use of technology - roving support, enquiry tracking and escalation; Liaison and relationship management with second-line support teams; Case studies from the U.K. and Australia; The future of integrated support.

NEW Leadership in Academic and Public Libraries A time of change Petra Düren, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany In a time when libraries have to face constant change, this book provides examples and advises on how to lead when change is needed (for example, when quality management is implemented or when libraries have to merge or to relocate). Engaging with how constant change affects leadership in libraries and how leaders in libraries act in times of change, this book is aimed at practitioners and students of LIS alike, and is based on both theory and expert interviews from leaders in academic and public libraries that are in the midst, or are now coming out of a process of change.

NEW Law Firm Librarianship Issues, practice, and directions John Azzolini, Clifford Chance LLP, USA

Workplace culture refers to conditions that collectively influence the work atmosphere. These can include policies, norms, and unwritten standards for behavior. Workplace Culture in Academic Libraries focuses on various aspects of workplace culture in academic libraries from the practitioners’ viewpoint, as opposed to that of the theoretician. This book asks the following questions: What conditions contribute to an excellent academic library work environment? What helps to make a particular academic library a great place to work? Articles focus on actual programs while placing the discussion in a scholarly context. The book is structured into 14 chapters, covering various aspects of workplace culture in academic libraries, including: Overview of workplace culture; Assessment; Recruitment; Acclimation for new librarians; Workforce diversity; Physical environment; Staff morale; Interaction between departments; Tenure track/Academic culture; Mentoring/ coaching; Generational differences; Motivation/ incentives; Complaints/Conflict management; and Organizational transparency.

The legal information environment is deep, wide, and dynamic with many participants, including courts, parliaments, legislatures, and administrative bodies. None exemplifies the agile, knowledge-engaging legal player better than the law firm. Current, authoritative information is essential for the successful representation of clients. The firm’s most dependable resource for retrieving information is its library staff. Law Firm Librarianship introduces the reader to the challenges, qualifications, and work conditions of this distinct type of research librarian. The book begins by asking what law firm librarianship is, whilst the second chapter focuses on the law firm and its culture. The third chapter covers the law firm library itself, including the practical aspects of the firm librarian’s interaction with his or her professional environments. The next chapter considers the effects of legal publishing practices, and the penultimate section surveys the various research tools the firm librarian relies on for sound knowledge. The book concludes by looking at the dynamic qualities of law firm librarianship.

NEW Leadership in Libraries A focus on ethnicminority librarians

Terry Ballard, New York Law School, USA

Maha Kumaran, University of Saskatchewan, Canada

The emerging generation of research and academic library users expect the delivery of user-centered information services. ‘Apomediation’ refers to the supporting role librarians can give users by stepping in when users need help. Library 3.0 explores the ongoing debates on the “point oh” phenomenon and its impact on service delivery in libraries. This title analyses library 3.0 and its potential in creating intelligent libraries capable of meeting contemporary needs, and the growing role of librarians as apomediators. Library 3.0 is divided into four chapters. The first chapter introduces and places the topic in context. The second chapter considers “point oh” libraries. The third chapter covers library 3.0 librarianship, while the final chapter explores ways libraries can move towards ‘3.0.’

‘This book is your next step in continuing your education and retooling to prepare for the ensuing and unabating information tsunami.’

Google This! describes the variety of free (or nearly free) options for social media and shows how libraries from the Library of Congress down to small public libraries are adapting them. The author has conducted more than two dozen interviews with professionals who have created exemplary work using social media, and shows how their experiences can create success for your institution’s library.

Library management Academic Branch Libraries in Changing Times

Managing Your Library and its Quality

Nevenka Zdravkovska, University of Maryland, USA

The ISO 9001 way

Are academic branch libraries going to be extinct in the near future? In these difficult economic times, when collections are digitized rapidly, is there still a need for a separate unit within proximity to the department, school, or college with a subject-based or subjectspecific collection? Academic Branch Libraries in Changing Times gives a brief historical overview of the role of a branch academic library. It reviews the current situation from a practitioner’s point of view and suggests solutions for the future. CONTENTS

Historical overview of academic branch libraries; Types of branch libraries; Most common subject branch libraries; Assessment/review of viability of branch libraries; Future of academic branch libraries.

Information Consulting

Núria Balagué, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain and Jarmo Saarti, University of Eastern Finland, Finland This book, divided into two parts, provides an introduction to quality management issues and gives a general overview to the use on ISO 9001 in the library environment. The second part presents the main features of ISO 9001:2008 with practical comments and examples on how to implement its clauses in libraries. Whether in the public or in the private sector, libraries can be seen as service organisations: they act in very dynamic environments where users are increasingly demanding new types of services. Thus the adoption of a quality management system helps each library in meeting the needs of the customers. This book covers some key ideas about how to approach the ISO 9001 standard in library terms, or any other information service unit. Managing Your Library and its Quality offers not only a useful approach to quality but it is also an excellent guide on how to manage knowledge within organisations and, a priori, thus should be utilised by the information professional. CONTENTS

Part 1 Quality management issues and the use of ISO 9001 in the library environment: Quality approaches; The ISO standards; Origin and evolution of the ISO 9000 standard; Which libraries use the ISO 9001 and why. Part 2 Building your library’s quality management system according to the ISO 9001 standard: Introduction; Quality management systems – requirements; Normative reference; Terms and definitions; Quality management system; Management responsibility; Resource management; Product realisation; Measurement, analysis and improvement; The certification process; Further ideas for improving the quality management system.

Guide to good practice Irene Wormell, Independent Consultant, Sweden, Annie Olesen, Ability Europe Ltd and A9 Consulting ApS, Denmark and Gábor Mikulás, GM Consulting, Hungary Information Consulting presents a closer look at what makes information consultants successful and how they develop a productive relationship with their clients. While most of the books on this subject area are providing the experiences of information consulting veterans on ‘how do you really do it?’, the aim of this book is focused on exploring the nature of information management consulting. This includes the task of the advice-and-guidance variety, such as helping clients to analyze and solve problems or to meet opportunities with the element of ‘What should I do?’. The authors have used their extensive international and professional networks to take the challenge of letting the clients speak about their experiences and expectations in hiring information consultants. CONTENTS

What is information consulting? Advantages: Why information consulting might appeal to you; Challenges: Realities to consider; The starting point: Make a business plan; The legal environment; Building trust and marketing your services; Client relations: The key to success; Advice from other information consultants; Take a leap from being a librarian to becoming an information consultant; The clients speak: From a client’s perspective; Ahead.

It will provide LIS managers, teachers and students at all levels with the necessary principles, approaches for understanding customers and their needs, information about the available resources and services and motivational techniques to use these resources and services to satisfy their customers’ needs.

NEW Meeting the Needs of Student Users in Academic Libraries Reaching across the great divide Michele Crump and LeiLani Freund, University of Florida, USA Meeting the Needs of Student Users in Academic Libraries surveys and evaluates the current practice of learning commons and research services within the academic library community in order to determine if these learning spaces are functioning as intended. To evaluate their findings, the authors examine the measurement tools that libraries have used to evaluate usage and satisfaction, including contemporary anthropological studies that provide a more detailed view of the student’s approach to research. The book takes a candid look at these redesigns and asks if improvements have lived up to expectations of increased service and user satisfaction. Are librarians using these findings to inform the evolution and implementation of new service models, or have they simply put a new shade of lipstick on the pig?

Service science is a new trans-disciplinary field that touches on subjects such as computer science, engineering, management, business, and the social and cognitive sciences. This book demonstrates to information professionals in all sectors that this new discipline exists and why it is relevant to them. It has emerged as we transition to a service and information-based economy, and libraries will deal with both information and services. CONTENTS

Managing Your Library and its Quality The ISO 9001 way Núria Balagué, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain and Jarmo Saarti, University of Eastern Finland, Finland This book, divided into two parts, provides an introduction to the quality management issues and gives a general overview to the use on ISO 9001 in the library environment. The second part presents the main features of ISO 9001:2008 with practical comments and examples on how to implement its clauses in libraries. Whether in the public or in the private sector, libraries can be seen as service organisations: they act in very dynamic environments where users are increasingly demanding new types of services. Thus the adoption of a quality management system helps each library in meeting the needs of the customers. This book covers some key ideas about how to approach the ISO 9001 standard in library terms, or any other information service unit. Managing Your Library and its Quality offers not only a useful approach to quality but it is also an excellent guide on how to manage knowledge within organisations and, a priori, thus should be utilised by the information professional. CONTENTS

Part 1 Quality management issues and the use of ISO 9001 in the library environment: Quality approaches; The ISO standards; Origin and evolution of the ISO 9000 standard; Which libraries use the ISO 9001 and why.

Qualitative Research and the Modern Library Valeda Dent Goodman, Long Island University, USA Qualitative Research and the Modern Library examines the present-day role and provides suggestions for areas that might be suited to this type of research for the purposes of evaluation. The author discusses how the results from such research might be applied, and the overall impact of using this type of research to inform development of a more user-centred organisation. The book provides a thoughtful look at the implications of using qualitative research to inform decision-making processes within libraries and is written by an author and library researcher with international experience in various types of libraries, implementing/ improving programs and services, and supporting user needs.

Library management NEW Managing Burnout in the Workplace A guide for information professionals Nancy McCormack, Queen’s University and Catherine Cotter, University of New Brunswick, Canada Information professionals are under constant stress. Libraries are ushering in sweeping changes that involve the closing of branches and reference desks, wholesale dumping of print, disappearing space, and employment of non-professional staff to fill what have traditionally been the roles of librarians. Increasing workloads, constant interruptions, ceaseless change, continual downsizing, budget cuts, repetitive work, and the pressures of public services have caused burnout in many information professionals. Managing Burnout in the Workplace concentrates on the problem of burnout, what it is and how it differs from chronic stress, low morale, and depression. The book addresses burnout from psychological, legal, and human resources perspectives. The chapters also cover how burnout is defined, symptom recognition, managing and overcoming burnout and how to avoid career derailment while coping with burnout. CONTENTS

What is burnout? Burnout and information professionals: How we got this way; Burnout, information professionals and other helping professions; Burnout: The psychological perspective; Burnout: The organizational perspective; Burnout: The legal perspective; Gender and burnout; Preventing burnout; Managing and overcoming burnout.

NEW Academic Librarianship, Publishing, and the Tenure Track Creative strategies for scholarly success Karl Madden, City University of New York, USA Academic Librarianship, Publishing, and the Tenure Track provides a strategy for academic librarian faculty productivity in conferences, journal articles, and book chapters, in support of reappointment and promotion, including the personal experiences of the author. It presents the author’s systematic approach, built upon the development of passionate creativity and social networking. The creative process is examined and applied to productivity, following a proven chronology. Divided into nine chapters, Academic Librarianship, Publishing, and the Tenure Track begins by looking at academic writing as a creative art, before moving on to the tenure track, and notions of ‘publish or perish’ in the second chapter. Chapters three, four and five deal with: academic librarians, including the MLS and PhD; LIS research, including subject specific research and; an empirical and general review of quantification and qualification. Chapter six engages with the process of publishing itself. Chapter seven looks at the application portfolio for tenure itself, and the penultimate chapter considers the international context. Finally, the book wraps it all up in a summing up section. CONTENTS

Academic writing as a creative art; The tenure track: Publish or perish; Academic librarians, the MLS and PhD; LIS research: Subject-specific, LIS-related; Quantification/ qualification: Empirical and general-review; The process: Abstract, paper, presentation, journal proposal, submission, peer-review, editing; Application for tenure: The portfolio; International contexts.

NEW Not Your Ordinary Librarian Debunking the popular perceptions of librarians Ashanti White, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA When you picture a librarian, what do you imagine? An old white woman with glasses and a prudish disposition? That is the image that many people conjure up when asked to picture a librarian; with 82 per cent of the professional force being female and the average age of a librarian at 45, coupled with popular stereotypical images, it is difficult to dispute the perceptions. But there is more to librarians than meets the eye. This book will explore the origin of the image and popular media images of the librarian, in addition to the effects of the stereotype, and the challenges to the perception of librarians today. CONTENTS

In the beginning: The origin of librarian stereotypes; Hollywood love affair: The librarian in American film; Heroes, vigilantes, and rock stars: The librarian on television; Not your ordinary library: The librarian in literature; How true are the perceptions?: Examining the common librarian; Diverging images: The sexy, author, and friendly librarian; The end of stereotypes: A new beginning.

NEW Managing Intellectual Capital in Libraries Beyond the balance sheet Petros Kostagiolas, Ionian University, Greece Aimed at library practitioners and academics of all levels, Managing Intellectual Capital in Libraries explores the exciting area of intellectual capital management in libraries. The presence of intellectual capital in libraries is largely intangible; however, in the economy of knowledge we must constantly make informed decisions regarding non-tangible, non-monetary, invisible resources in order to better understand their possible usages, structure, production and value. Intellectual capital-based library management is a key issue, fostering innovation that improves a library’s operations and services. Intellectual capital has become the buzzword of knowledge-based economies, and is the ultimate source of competitive advantage. This book provides guidelines, methods and techniques for managing intellectual capital in a library environment. Analysis is accompanied by examples and case studies for intellectual capital utilization in libraries. CONTENTS

Libraries in the knowledge economy: Introducing intellectual capital concepts; Libraries’ Worlds of Production and intellectual capital utilization; Identifying and categorizing intellectual capital in libraries; Measuring libraries’ intellectual capital; Financial valuation and reporting of intellectual capital in libraries; Survival analysis for libraries’ intellectual capital resources; Putting it all together: Summary and final thoughts for further research.

Library management NEW Leadership in Libraries A focus on ethnicminority librarians Maha Kumaran, University of Saskatchewan, Canada

Understanding Librarians

Diversity Programming and Outreach for Academic Libraries

Communication is the issue Barbara Hull, Teesside University, UK

Kathleen Hanna, Mindy Cooper and Robin Crumrin, Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, USA

Aimed at librarians interested in leadership, this book focuses on ethnic minority librarians living in predominantly Caucasian cultures and their efforts to become a leader. It also provides non-minority librarians with an understanding of cross-cultural leadership. This books discusses leadership in various fields, provides examples of successful minority leaders in different fields and statistical data on minorities and librarians in various countries, and probes a variety of library school programs and their efforts to develop leadership skills in librarians in general and in minority librarians.

Aimed at professionals and trainee professionals within the library and information service (LIS) fields, this book reminds the reader of the frequently ignored communication-gulf between the professional and the layman, and in particular the lack of true communication between LIS professional and the user. It focuses especially on ‘non-standard’ users, such as nonnative speakers or those with some disability. The author provides accessible examples of good practice, assesses their degree of success and suggests further ways to improve performance in information provision.

Diversity Programming and Outreach for Academic Libraries outlines issues surrounding diversity among students, faculty, and staff and how one urban university library is working to embrace and celebrate the diversity found in its building, on campus, and in the local community. This book illustrates how universities are uniquely situated to engage students in discussions about diversity and how academic libraries in particular can facilitate and ease these discussions. A Diversity Council and the projects and programs it has developed have been instrumental in this work and may serve as an inspiration and launch pad for other libraries. Diversity Programming and Outreach for Academic Libraries details anecdotal experiences, and provides practical suggestions for developing diversity programs and forming collaborations with other campus units, regardless of size, staff, or focus of the academic library.

Library management Becoming Confident Teachers

Mid-Career Library and Information Professionals

A guide for academic librarians

A leadership primer

Claire McGuinness, University College Dublin, Ireland ‘…a sound and satisfying work on teaching librarianship.’ ‘McGuinness’s work has many strengths.’

College and Research Libraries Becoming Confident Teachers examines the teaching role of information professionals at a time of transition and change in higher education. While instruction is now generally accepted as a core library function in the 21st century, librarians often lack sufficient training in pedagogy and instructional design; consequently finding their teaching responsibilities to be stressful and challenging. By exploring the requirements and responsibilities of the role, this book guides teaching librarians to a position where they feel confident that they have acquired the basic body of knowledge and procedures to handle any kind of instructional requests that come their way, and to be proactive in developing and promoting teaching and learning initiatives. In addition, this book suggests strategies and methods for self-development and fostering a “teacher identity,” giving teaching librarians a greater sense of purpose and direction, and the ability to clearly communicate their role to non-library colleagues and within the public sphere. CONTENTS

The evolving role of the teaching librarian; Teaching librarians: 10 concepts shaping the role; Preparing teaching librarians for practice: Focusing on the basics; Confidencezappers and how to handle them; Personal and professional development as a teaching librarian; What librarians think: Teaching and learning in the real world.

John Azzolini, Clifford Chance LLP, USA The legal information environment is deep, wide, and dynamic with many participants, including courts, parliaments, legislatures, and administrative bodies. None exemplifies the agile, knowledge-engaging legal player better than the law firm. Current, authoritative information is essential for the successful representation of clients. The firm’s most dependable resource for retrieving information is its library staff. Law Firm Librarianship introduces the reader to the challenges, qualifications, and work conditions of this distinct type of research librarian. The book begins by asking what law firm librarianship is, whilst the second chapter focuses on the law firm and its culture. The third chapter covers the law firm library itself, including the practical aspects of the firm librarian’s interaction with his or her professional environments. The next chapter considers the effects of legal publishing practices, and the penultimate section surveys the various research tools the firm librarian relies on for sound knowledge. The book concludes by looking at the dynamic qualities of law firm librarianship. CONTENTS

Examples of good practise will be presented and analysed and are drawn primarily from North America and Australasia, however, issues drawn from Europe will also be discussed. CONTENTS

NEW Libraries and Archives A comparative study Tomas Lidman, Consultant, Sweden Libraries and Archives analyses the facts and arguments behind an increasing debate as to what extent libraries and archives are fulfilling the same missions. Despite the fact that they have different legal statuses, legal frameworks, and the work-flow looks very different, some politicians and bureaucrats think that there is much to gain if the two institutions work closely together or even merge. To understand the present situation it is important to have an understanding of the role of libraries and archives and their shared history. Therefore the development up to the present day is analysed in the first chapters of the book. The book stimulates debate and brings forth valuable facts about the topic. The main focus is on national libraries and national and regional archives from an international point of view. CONTENTS

Pre-historic times; National libraries and archives from early modern times to 1900; Twentieth-century libraries; Twentieth-century archives; What’s in store?

An introduction Charlotte Brunskill, Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and Sarah Demb, Museum of London, UK

A handbook for regulation, innovation and transformation Stephen Harries, Critical Information, UK

This book offers a comprehensive overview of records management work in museum and gallery settings by records managers. It draws on over a decade of experience in applying fundamental records management principles and practices to the specific circumstances of museums. Records Management for Museums and Galleries introduces the reader to the institutional cultures, functions and records specific to museums, and to issues of particular bearing on museum records, including the legislative environments created by the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts. Footnotes, case study sidebars and a resource guide the reader to a range of additional information and assistance.

Records Management and Knowledge Mobilisation argues that records management can contribute to public sector reform and transformation in the new climate of austerity without losing its essential characteristics. The public sector environment is now changing rapidly, with more emphasis on efficiency, flexibility and innovation, devolving control, loosening regulation and cutting budgets. By linking practical ideas about the use and management of knowledge, the author draws on insights from the study of policymaking and programme delivery to show how managing the relationship between records and knowledge, and their creation and use, can make an important contribution to public sector innovation in itself.

Zuzana Helinsky, Consultant

Julie Carpenter, Education for Change Ltd, UK

Rónán O’Beirne, Bradford College, UK ‘worth the investment and thorough reading by at least all public library managers as a catalyst for local, state and national debate’

Australasian Public Libraries and Information Services From Lending to Learning provides a theoretical overview and practical guide to the functional area of delivering learning services within public libraries. It traces the development of public library service delivery and critically appraises the inherent tension between offering an educational focused or leisure focused library.

A general overview of recent developments in learning theory is followed by an insight into the learning landscape. The issues and practicalities of setting up a learning environment within a public library are dealt with in a clear and straightforward fashion. The book concludes with an assessment of the emerging web 2.0 technologies and gives an insight into how the whole area of social networking might shape the future.

Aimed at practitioners and managers, this practical handbook provides a source of guidance on project management techniques for the academic and cultural heritage sectors, focusing on managing projects involving public sector and other external partners. Issues under consideration and illustration include: different approaches to managing projects and how to select appropriate methods; using project management tools and other applications in project development and implementation; ensuring the sustainability of project outcomes and transferability into practice; realistic monitoring methodologies and specification and commissioning evaluation work that has real value. CONTENTS

User-Generated Content and its Impact on Web-Based Library Services examines the impact of user-generated content on web-based library services. It begins with an overview of Web 2.0 tools and technologies and a brief look at the emerging semantic tools of Web 3.0 and their implications for libraries. The book investigates the changing role of the end user as both a creator and consumer of web content and what this means for society’s perception and understanding of information. The author addresses the advantages and challenges of using these tools to bring community expertise and opinion into the library, from reinvention of the library website as a community rather than a collection to the issues of moderating usergenerated content. The book also explores the notion of ‘low-fidelity authority’, understanding that by acknowledging the value in content that does not necessarily meet traditional definition of authority, it creates the potential to achieve a much greater level of relevance and engagement with users. Throughout the book, conceptual discussion is illustrated with realworld examples and practical suggestions for library practitioners.

NEW Utilizing Technology in the Academic Research Process Quality output in a fraction of the time John Dumay, University of Sydney Business School, Australia This book is aimed at anyone involved in an academic research project from high school majors to PhD students and experienced researchers with a strong publication record. The author is acutely aware of the amount of time it takes to bring an idea from inception through to publication. The aim of this book is to introduce the tools and techniques the author used to establish his research career in a relatively short time, whilst keeping an eye on the quality of output. The tools and techniques presented are not intended as a substitute for academic acumen, but help concentrate on the aspects of research that add value to a project and help avoid tasks which are time consuming and contribute nothing to the academic quality of a research project. CONTENTS

NEW Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage Developing a model for lifelong learning Kim Baker, University of Cape Town, South Africa Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage explores cultural heritage, from museums, archives and libraries perspectives, highlighting the role of memory and contested history in the collection, description and presentation of cultural heritage. The book argues that the convergence of libraries, archives and museums in digital preservation should be extended to include the development of combined lifelong learning programmes, teaching both information literacy skills and awareness of cultural heritage.

NEW Supporting Research Writing Roles and challenges in multilingual settings Edited by Valerie Matarese, Editorial Consultant, Italy Supporting Research Writing explores the range of services designed to facilitate academic writing and publication in English by non-native English-speaking (NNES) authors. It analyses the realities of offering services such as education, translation, editing and writing, and then considers the challenges and benefits that result when these boundaries are consciously blurred. It thus provides an opportunity for readers to reflect on their professional roles and the services that will best serve their clients’ needs. A recurring theme is, therefore, the interaction between language professional and client-author. The book offers insights into the opportunities and challenges presented by considering ourselves first and foremost as writing support professionals, differing in our primary approach (through teaching, translating, editing, writing, or a combination of those) but with a common goal. This view has major consequences for the training of professionals who support English-language publication by NNES academics and scientists. Supporting Research Writing will therefore be a stimulus to professional development for those who support English-language publication in real-life contexts and an important resource for those entering the profession. CONTENTS

The contribution of language professionals to academic publication: Multiple roles to achieve common goals; Teaching academic writing in Europe: Multilingual and multicultural contexts; Writing process research: Implications for manuscript support for academic authors; Using genre analysis and corpus linguistics to teach research article writing; Using strategic, critical reading of research papers to teach scientific writing: The readingresearch-writing continuum; The translator as cultural mediator in research publication; Giving authors a voice in another language through translation; Bilingual publication of academic journals: Motivations and practicalities; Defining and describing editing; The authors’ editor: Working with authors to make drafts fit for purpose; The writer’s approach to facilitating research communication: a very different way of engaging with authors; Didactic editing: Bringing novice writers into the arena of scholarly publishing; Collaborative research writing: Developmental editing with an underlying educational vein; Putting ‘wordface’ work in the centre of academic text production: Working with an international journal to develop an authors’ mentoring programme.

In search of the boundaries of knowing Isto Huvila, Uppsala University, Sweden Despite new technologies, people do not always find information readily. This book is about the role of information services and digital literacies in the age of the social web. Do people still need help in finding the information they need, and if so, why? What can new tools and techniques make easier? Who needs help, and with what? The author provides an alternative perspective for understanding the context of information services and digital literacy and argues that a central problem in the age of the social web and the culture of participation is that we do not know the premises of how we know, and how ways of interacting with information affect our actions and their outcomes. Information seeking and finding is always a question of crossing and expanding boundaries; between our earlier experiences and the unknown. CONTENTS

NEW Meeting the Needs of Student Users in Academic Libraries

NEW Teaching Research Processes

Reaching across the great divide

The faculty role in the development of skilled student researchers

Michele Crump and LeiLani Freund, University of Florida, USA

William Badke, Trinity Western University, Canada

Meeting the Needs of Student Users in Academic Libraries surveys and evaluates the current practice of learning commons and research services within the academic library community in order to determine if these learning spaces are functioning as intended. To evaluate their findings, the authors examine the measurement tools that libraries have used to evaluate usage and satisfaction, including contemporary anthropological studies that provide a more detailed view of the student’s approach to research. The book takes a candid look at these redesigns and asks if improvements have lived up to expectations of increased service and user satisfaction. Are librarians using these findings to inform the evolution and implementation of new service models, or have they simply put a new shade of lipstick on the pig? CONTENTS

Introduction: The divide as we see it; Services in the information commons; A post-occupancy look at library building renovations: Meeting the needs of the 21st century users; Assess to cultivate your own library; Millennials and technology: Putting suppositions to the test in an academic library; We asked and they told us: Survey x 2; Conclusion: Reaching across the divide.

NEW Information Services and Digital Literacy

Information literacy is defined as the ability to identify a research problem, determine the kinds of information needed to answer it, acquire needed information efficiently and effectively, evaluate the acquired information well and apply it skilfully to the problem at hand. This book proposes a new vision in which information literacy, reconceived as “Research Processes,” becomes the domain of teaching faculty, with the assistance of librarians. The goal is to transform education from a primarily oneway knowledge communication practice to an interactive practice involving the core research tasks of the subject disciplines. Over the past four decades, the discipline of Information Literacy has risen within the field of academic librarianship in response to the constantly observed minimal information handling and research skills of most students in higher education. CONTENTS

Defining research processes; Research ability inadequacies in higher education; Research processes and faculty understanding; Current initiatives in research processes; The role of disciplinary thinking in research processes; Research processes in the classroom; Tentative case studies in disciplinary research process instruction; Research processes transforming education; Resourcing the enterprise; Conclusion.

Information management NEW External Quality Audits

NEW Using Network and Mobile Technology to Bridge Formal and Informal Learning

Has it improved quality assurance in universities? Edited by Mahsood Shah, RMIT University, Australia and Chenicheri Nair, University of Western Australia, Australia Whilst external quality audits have been in place for more than a decade in some countries, there is limited research on the extent to which such audits have been effective in improving systems and processes for quality assurance in core and support areas of higher education institutions. More importantly the extent to which such audits have improved academic standards, outcomes and student experience is not well documented. This edited book looks at the experience of many countries where external quality audits have been established by the government and provides an analysis of the effectiveness of such audits in improving quality assurance in universities and other examples of higher education institutions.

NEW Providing Research Support A practical guide for academic and research libraries Janet Fletcher and Robyn Drummond, University of New South Wales, Australia Research Impact Measurement is a pressing issue for academic and research libraries. Aimed at library and information professionals working in research-intensive institutions, Providing Research Support is a practical guide on how to assist academic and research staff in assessing and demonstrating research impact. It also addresses making strategic publishing choices. It will equip library and information professionals with strategies, resourcing requirements, tools and tips by providing solutions to reallife problems in demonstrating the impact of research. Providing Research Support presents each problem as a scenario and describes not only the steps to reaching a solution but also how to prepare, write and present final reports. The first section of the book introduces the methods academic libraries are employing to support research, and the second part goes on to consider both quantitative and qualitative methods for measuring research impact. Next, the discussion moves on to planning and managing research impact services. The final section provides templates for reporting findings. CONTENTS

Edited by Guglielmo Trentin and Manuela Repetto, Institute for Educational Technology, National Research Council, Italy Using Network and Mobile Technology to Bridge Formal and Informal Learning introduces new methods (inspired by ‘pedagogy 2.0’) of harnessing the potential of communication technologies for teaching and learning. This book considers how attitudes towards network and mobile technology (NMT) gained outside the school can be shunted into new educational paradigms combining formal and informal learning processes. It begins with an overview of these paradigms, and their sustainability. It then considers the pedagogical dimension of formal/ informal integration through NMT, moving on to teachers’ professional development. Next, the organizational development of schools in the context of formal and informal learning is detailed. Finally, the book covers the role of technologies supporting formal/informal integration into subject-oriented education. CONTENTS

NEW Utilizing Technology in the Academic Research Process Quality output in a fraction of the time John Dumay, University of Sydney Business School, Australia The author is acutely aware of the amount of time it takes to bring an idea from inception through to publication. The aim of this book is to introduce the tools and techniques the author used to establish his research career in a relatively short time, whilst keeping an eye on the quality of output. The tools and techniques presented are not intended as a substitute for academic acumen, but help concentrate on the aspects of research that add value to a project and help avoid tasks which are time consuming and contribute nothing to the academic quality of a research project.

The faculty role in the development of skilled student researchers William Badke, Trinity Western University, Canada Information literacy is defined as the ability to identify a research problem, determine the kinds of information needed to answer it, acquire needed information efficiently and effectively, evaluate the acquired information well and apply it skillfully to the problem at hand. This book proposes a new vision in which information literacy, reconceived as “Research Processes,” becomes the domain of teaching faculty, with the assistance of librarians. The goal is to transform education from a primarily one-way knowledge communication practice to an interactive practice involving the core research tasks of the subject disciplines. Over the past four decades, the discipline of Information Literacy has risen within the field of academic librarianship in response to the constantly observed minimal information handling and research skills of most students in higher education. CONTENTS

Becoming Confident Teachers A guide for academic librarians Claire McGuinness, University College Dublin, Ireland Becoming Confident Teachers examines the teaching role of information professionals at a time of transition and change in higher education. While instruction is now generally accepted as a core library function in the 21st century, librarians often lack sufficient training in pedagogy and instructional design; consequently finding their teaching responsibilities to be stressful and challenging. By exploring the requirements and responsibilities of the role, this book guides teaching librarians to a position where they feel confident that they have acquired the basic body of knowledge and procedures to handle any kind of instructional requests that come their way, and to be proactive in developing and promoting teaching and learning initiatives. In addition, this book suggests strategies and methods for self-development and fostering a “teacher identity,” giving teaching librarians a greater sense of purpose and direction, and the ability to clearly communicate their role to non-library colleagues and within the public sphere.

Information management Plagiarism Education and Prevention A subject-driven casebased approach Cara Bradley, University of Regina, Canada

‘…has appeared at exactly the right time to remind us of the importance of information ethics in academic education and beyond.’

The Australian Library Journal Academic librarians and university instructors worldwide are grappling with an increasing incidence of student plagiarism. Recent publications urge educators to prevent plagiarism by teaching students about the issue, and some have advocated the value of a subject-specific approach to plagiarism prevention education. There is, however, a complete lack of resources and guidance for librarians and instructors who want to adopt this approach in their teaching. This book opens with a brief overview of plagiarism today, followed by arguments in favour of a subjectbased approach. The rest of the book is divided into academic subject areas and features an overview of the major issues in that subject area, followed by a high profile and engaging case within the discipline. CONTENTS

NEW Supporting Research Writing

NEW The Ecology of Academic Journals

Roles and challenges in multilingual settings

Bozena I Mierzejewska, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland

Edited by Valerie Matarese, Editorial Consultant, Italy Supporting Research Writing explores the range of services designed to facilitate academic writing and publication in English by non-native English-speaking (NNES) authors. It analyses the realities of offering services such as education, translation, editing and writing, and then considers the challenges and benefits that result when these boundaries are consciously blurred. It thus provides an opportunity for readers to reflect on their professional roles and the services that will best serve their clients’ needs. A recurring theme is, therefore, the interaction between language professional and client-author. The book offers insights into the opportunities and challenges presented by considering ourselves first and foremost as writing support professionals, differing in our primary approach (through teaching, translating, editing, writing, or a combination of those) but with a common goal. This view has major consequences for the training of professionals who support English-language publication by NNES academics and scientists. Supporting Research Writing will therefore be a stimulus to professional development for those who support English-language publication in real-life contexts and an important resource for those entering the profession. CONTENTS

The contribution of language professionals to academic publication: Multiple roles to achieve common goals; Teaching academic writing in Europe: Multilingual and multicultural contexts; Writing process research: implications for manuscript support for academic authors; Using genre analysis and corpus linguistics to teach research article writing; Using strategic, critical reading of research papers to teach scientific writing: The readingresearch-writing continuum; The translator as cultural mediator in research publication; Giving authors a voice in another language through translation; Bilingual publication of academic journals: Motivations and practicalities; Defining and describing editing; The authors’ editor: Working with authors to make drafts fit for purpose; The writer’s approach to facilitating research communication: a very different way of engaging with authors; Didactic editing: Bringing novice writers into the arena of scholarly publishing; Collaborative research writing: Developmental editing with an underlying educational vein; Putting ‘wordface’ work in the centre of academic text production: Working with an international journal to develop an authors’ mentoring programme.

The fate of academic journals is highly contested. Pessimistic pundits predict their imminent demise while others envisage a new era of participatory knowledge creation and web only publications, with yet others advocating increased involvement of scholars and libraries in developing a “fair” system of scholarly publishing. The book is written against the backdrop of the complete transformation of scholarly communication. It considers the multifaceted nature of academic journals in a systematic investigation of the journal’s eco-system - a metaphor indicating the importance of relationships between all involved stakeholders, their environments and their functioning as a unit. CONTENTS

The system of academic publishing; The role of academic journals in the knowledge system; Trends in journal publishing and scholarly communication; Contexts of journal’s eco-system; Ecological dynamics.

NEW Academic Librarianship, Publishing, and the Tenure Track Creative strategies for scholarly success Karl Madden, City University of New York, USA Academic Librarianship, Publishing, and the Tenure Track provides a strategy for academic librarian faculty productivity in conferences, journal articles, and book chapters, in support of reappointment and promotion, including the personal experiences of the author. It presents the author’s systematic approach, built upon the development of passionate creativity and social networking. Academic Librarianship, Publishing, and the Tenure Track begins by looking at academic writing as a creative art, before moving on to the tenure track, and notions of ‘publish or perish’ in the second chapter. Chapters three, four and five deal with: academic librarians, including the MLS and PhD; LIS research, including subject specific research and; an empirical and general review of quantification and qualification. Chapter six engages with the process of publishing itself. Chapter seven looks at the application portfolio for tenure itself, and the penultimate chapter considers the international context. Finally, the book wraps it all up in a summing up section. CONTENTS

NEW Multimedia Information Retrieval Theory and techniques Roberto Raieli, Roma Tre University Art Library, Italy Novel processing and searching tools for the management of new multimedia documents have developed. Multimedia Information Retrieval (MMIR) is an organic system made up of Text Retrieval (TR); Visual Retrieval (VR); Video Retrieval (VDR); and Audio Retrieval (AR) systems. So that each type of digital document may be analysed and searched by the elements of language appropriate to its nature, search criteria must be extended. Such an approach is known as the Content Based Information Retrieval (CBIR), and is the core of MMIR. This novel content-based concept of information handling needs to be integrated with more traditional semantics. Multimedia Information Retrieval focuses on the tools of processing and searching applicable to the content-based management of new multimedia documents. Translated from Italian by Giles Smith, the book is divided in to two parts. Part one discusses MMIR and related theories, and puts forward new methodologies; part two reviews various experimental and operating MMIR systems, and presents technical and practical conclusions. CONTENTS

Part 1 Theoretical and methodological innovations: A cultural and scientific context for the theory of MMIR; Multimedia digital document treatment and indexing; MMIR methodology in the context of library and information science; Methodological definition of multimedia information retrieval. Part 2 Managerial and applicative developments: The present state of the MMIR system; Technique and technology of MMIR systems; The integration of MMIR modalities.

NEW The Patron-Driven Library A practical guide for managing collections and services in the digital age Dee Ann Allison, University of NebraskaLincoln, USA Libraries in the USA and globally are undergoing quiet revolution. Libraries are moving away from a philosophy that is collection-centered to one focused on service. Technology is key to that change. The Patron-Driven Library explores the way technology has moved the focus from library collections to services, placing the reader at the center of library activities. The book reveals the way library users are changing, and how social networking, web delivery of information, and the uncertain landscape of e-print has energized librarians to adopt technology to meet a different model of the library while preserving core values. Following an introduction, the first part begins with the historical milieu, and moves on to current challenges for financing and acquiring materials, and an exploration of why the millennial generation is transformational. The second part examines how changes in library practice can create a culture for imagining library services in an age of information overflow. The final chapter asks: Whither the library? CONTENTS

NEW Electronic Resource Management Practical perspectives in a new technical services model Anne Elguindi and Kari Schmidt, American University Library, USA A tremendous shift is taking place in libraries towards purchasing e-resources, with the bulk of materials spending being allocated to e-resource acquisition. Many libraries combine print and e-serials in one unit, but the different workflows for the two formats, combined with the different responsibilities associated with the management of the two formats, have caused challenges for conceptualising that all ‘serials’ work together. Electronic Resource Management tackles the central issues with the concepts of the access and management of electronic resources. It highlights the different kinds of e-resources, from e-serials and e-books to databases and digital collections that continue to bring new developments to a field that requires different systems and skills than those needed for print resources. CONTENTS

Emerging technical services models in the context of the past; Electronic resource management: Staffing and workflow; Electronic resource management systems: Implementation and transformation; Discovery systems, layers and tools, and the role of the electronic resources librarian; Academic library consortia and the evolving role of electronic resources and technology; Conclusion: E-books and the future of technical services.

The power of networks

Refer The proliferation of online access to social science statistical and numeric data sources, such as the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder, has lead to an increased interest in supporting these sources in academic libraries. Many large libraries have been able to devote staff to data services for years, and recently smaller academic libraries have recognized the need to provide numeric data services and support. This guidebook serves as a primer to developing and supporting social science statistical and numerical data sources in the academic library. It provides strategies for the establishment of data services and offers short descriptions of the essential sources of free and commercial social science statistical and numeric data. Finally, it discusses the future of numeric data services, including the integration of statistics and data into library instruction and the use of Web 2.0 tools to visualize data. CONTENTS

Introduction to data services and sources; Supporting statistical and numeric data services and sources; Reference and instruction for data sources; Basic sources for supporting numeric data services; Data librarianship: A day in the life; The future for numeric data services.

This book outlines how network technology can support, foster and enhance the Knowledge Management, Sharing and Development (KMSD) processes in professional environments through the activation of both formal and informal knowledge flows. Understanding how ICT can be made available to such flows in the knowledge society is a factor that cannot be disregarded and is confirmed by the increasing interest of companies in new forms of software-mediated social interaction. The latter factor is in relation both to the possibility of accelerating internal communication and problem solving processes, and/or in relation to dynamics of endogenous knowledge growth of human resources. CONTENTS

Leveraging mobile network technologies to accelerate tacit knowledge flows across organisations and distances; Supporting knowledge flow in web-based environments by means of narrative; What are virtual walls to flow of knowledge in teamwork discussions? Knowledge flows and graphic knowledge representations; Graphic knowledge representation as a tool for fostering knowledge flow in informal learning processes; Conclusive thought on communication flow, knowledge flow and informal learning.

The library in China has been transformed by rapid socioeconomic development, and the proliferation of the Internet. The issues faced by Chinese libraries and librarians are those faced by library practitioners more globally, however, China also has its own unique set of issues in the digital era, including developmental imbalance between East and West, urban and rural areas, and availability of skilled practitioners. Chinese Librarianship in the Digital Era is the first book on Chinese libraries responding to these issues and more. The first part of the book places discussion in historical context, before moving on to the digital environment of the Chinese library. The book then considers the issue of digital copyright in China, and debates the core values of the Chinese library. The next three chapters cover public and academic libraries, and library consortia. Finally, the book gives a view of the future prospects for libraries in China. CONTENTS

NEW Information Services and Digital Literacy In search of the boundaries of knowing Isto Huvila, Uppsala University, Sweden

The cloud can be a powerful tool for conducting and managing research. The Librarian’s Guide to Academic Research in the Cloud is a practical guide to using cloud services from a librarian’s point of view. As well as discussing how to use various cloud-based services, the title considers the various privacy and data portability issues associated with web-based services. The book helps readers make the most of cloud computing, including how to fold mobile devices into the cloud-based research management equation. This book is divided into several chapters, each considering a key aspect of academic research in the cloud, including: defining the cloud; capturing information; capturing and managing scholarly information; storing files; staying organized, communicating; and sharing. The book ends by considering the future of the cloud, examining what readers can expect from cloud services in the next few years, and how research might be changed as a result.

Despite new technologies, people do not always find information readily. This book is about the role of information services and digital literacies in the age of the social web. Do people still need help in finding the information they need, and if so, why? What can new tools and techniques make easier? Who needs help, and with what? The author provides an alternative perspective for understanding the context of information services and digital literacy and argues that a central problem in the age of the social web and the culture of participation is that we do not know the premises of how we know, and how ways of interacting with information affect our actions and their outcomes. Information seeking and finding is always a question of crossing and expanding boundaries; between our earlier experiences and the unknown. We may not yet be well enough acquainted with the landscape of digital information to understand the following: how we know; where the boundaries lie; how to cross them; and what consequences our actions have.

Crisis Information Management Communication and technologies Edited by Christine Hagar, Dominican University, USA

This book explores the management of information in crises, particularly the interconnectedness of information, people, and technologies during crises. Natural disasters such as the Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 and human-made crises such as the recent political disruption in North Africa and the Middle East have demonstrated that there is a great need to understand how individuals, government, and non-government agencies create, access, organize, communicate, and disseminate information within communities during crisis situations. This edited book brings together papers written by researchers and practitioners from a variety of information perspectives in crisis preparedness, response and recovery. CONTENTS

Towards a Semantic Web Connecting knowledge in academic research Bill Cope, Mary Kalantzis, University of Illinois, USA and Liam Magee, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Australia ‘A good book for its wealth of sometimes profound insights into the evolution of scholarship and scientific communication from a relatively static print culture into what’s already emerged as a protean electronic culture.’

College and Research Libraries This book addresses the question of how knowledge is currently documented, and may soon be documented in the context of what it calls ‘semantic publishing’. This takes two forms: a more narrowly and technically defined ‘semantic web’; as well as a broader notion of semantic publishing. This book examines the ways in which knowledge is represented in journal articles and books. CONTENTS

Do You Web 2.0? Public libraries and social networking Linda Berube, Legal Deposit Advisory Panel, UK ‘This concise guide to a hot topic is timely, perceptive and engagingly written.... Useful to public librarians and a worthy acquisition for university libraries supporting LIS students.’

Managing Information Web 2.0 technology is a hot topic at the moment, and public librarians in particular are beginning to feel the pressure to apply these tools. Indeed, Web 2.0 has the potential to transform library services, but only if the policy and strategy for those services are ready to be transformed. The author not only reviews these tools and provides practical advice and case studies on how they can be applied in the public library setting, but also recommends the policies and business cases that begin to create a new strategy for public libraries.

Numeric Data Services and Sources for the General Reference Librarian Lynda Kellam, University of North Carolina Greensboro and Katharin Peter, University of Southern California, USA ‘There is a lot of helpful guidance on regular aspects of libraries in the context of data librarianship. I would recommend this to academic and research librarians, but think it is relevant to all reference librarians.’

Refer The proliferation of online access to social science statistical and numeric data sources, such as the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder, has lead to an increased interest in supporting these sources in academic libraries. Many large libraries have been able to devote staff to data services for years, and recently smaller academic libraries have recognized the need to provide numeric data services and support. This guidebook serves as a primer to developing and supporting social science statistical and numerical data sources in the academic library. It provides strategies for the establishment of data services and offers short descriptions of the essential sources of free and commercial social science statistical and numeric data. Finally, it discusses the future of numeric data services, including the integration of statistics and data into library instruction and the use of Web 2.0 tools to visualize data. CONTENTS

This book introduces readers to a ‘big picture’ account of the dynamics associated with the establishment of the new information and knowledge-based economy. The author demonstrates that at the core of these dynamics is the contentious issue of the corporate ownership of intellectual property and the impact that the ownership is having, and increasingly likely to have, not only on the work of information professionals in particular and knowledge workers in general but also on the public at large.

This book explores issues surrounding all aspects of visual collection management, taken from real-world experience in creating management systems and digitizing core content. Readers will gain the knowledge to manage the digitization process from beginning to end, assess and define the needs of their particular project, and evaluate digitization options. Additionally, they will select strategies which best meet current and future needs, acquire the knowledge to select the best images for digitization, and understand the legal issues surrounding digitization of visual collections.

Information management NEW The Metadata Manual A practical workbook Rebecca Lubas, Amy Jackson, University of New Mexico and Ingrid Schneider, New Mexico State University, USA Cultural heritage professionals have high levels of training in metadata. However, the institutions in which they practice often depend on support staff, volunteers, and students in order to function. With limited time and funding for training in metadata creation for digital collections, there are often many questions about metadata without a reliable, direct source for answers. The Metadata Manual provides such a resource, answering basic metadata questions that may appear, and explores metadata from a beginner’s perspective. This title covers metadata basics, XML basics, Dublin Core, VRA Core, and CDWA schemes and provides exercise in the creation of metadata. Finally, the book gives an overview of metadata, including mapping and sharing. CONTENTS

Metadata basics; XML basics; Dublin Core: Simple; Qualified; EAD (Encoded Archival Description); VRA Core 4.0 (Visual Resources Association); CDWA (Categories for the Description of Works of Art): Basic schema; CDWA-lite; The big picture: Mapping; Sharing (OAI-PMH).

NEW From Knowledge Abstraction to Management Using Ranganathan’s Faceted Schema to develop conceptual frameworks for digital libraries Aparajita Suman, Improving Healthy Behaviors Program FHI 360, India The increasing volume of information in the contemporary world entails demand for efficient knowledge management (KM) systems; a logical method of information organization that will allow proper semantic querying to identify things that match meaning in natural language. On this concept, the role of an information manager goes beyond implementing a search and clustering system, to the ability to map and logically present the subject domain and related cross domains. From Knowledge Abstraction to Management answers this need by analysing ontology tools and techniques, helping the reader develop a conceptual framework from the digital library perspective. Beginning with the concept of knowledge abstraction, before discussing the Solecistic versus the Semantic Web, the book goes on to consider: knowledge organisation; the development of conceptual frameworks; untying conceptual tangles and; the concept of faceted knowledge representation.

NEW Libraries and Archives A comparative study Tomas Lidman, Consultant, Sweden

Libraries and Archives analyses the facts and arguments behind an increasing debate as to what extent libraries and archives are fulfilling the same missions. Despite the fact that they have different legal statuses, legal frameworks, and the work-flow looks very different, some politicians and bureaucrats think that there is much to gain if the two institutions work closely together or even merge. To understand the present situation it is important to have an understanding of the role of libraries and archives and their shared history. Therefore the development up to the present day is analysed in the first chapters of the book. The book stimulates debate and brings forth valuable facts about the topic. The main focus is on national libraries and national and regional archives from an international point of view. CONTENTS

Pre-historic times; National libraries and archives from early modern times to 1900; Twentieth-century libraries; Twentieth-century archives; What’s in store?

Records Management and Knowledge Mobilisation A handbook for regulation, innovation and transformation Stephen Harries, Critical Information, UK Records Management and Knowledge Mobilisation argues that records management can contribute to public sector reform and transformation in the new climate of austerity without losing its essential characteristics. The public sector environment is now changing rapidly, with more emphasis on efficiency, flexibility and innovation, devolving control, loosening regulation and cutting budgets. By linking practical ideas about the use and management of knowledge, the author draws on insights from the study of policymaking and programme delivery to show how managing the relationship between records and knowledge, and their creation and use, can make an important contribution to public sector innovation in itself. CONTENTS

Managing records and growing knowledge: An interactive strategy. Part 1 Principles: The changing role of government: Transformation; Concepts, codes and meanings: Bridging knowledge and records; Records, knowledge and action: An interacting design model; Regulation and institutions: Rules, roles and frames; Innovation and change: Ideas, networks and communities. Part 2 Practices: Bridging policy and delivery with knowledge: The case for intervention; Achieving added value: Efficiency, effectiveness and public value; Planning a knowledge-based intervention: Strategy, tools, analysis; Fomenting knowledge development; Reframing records management: Towards knowledge governance.

‘This book fills a very important need for any University or College archive.’

This book lays out for the first time in a clear and practical manner the different forms and purposes of knowledge audits, and explains how different kinds of knowledge maps can support their exploitation. While this core activity has very little documented guidance, is inconsistently applied and is currently imperfectly understood, this book will support the development of a knowledge management strategy, create momentum for change, and instil a culture of knowledge asset stewardship at every operational level. Where do knowledge audits come from and why are they important? What are we auditing? Different forms of knowledge; The different forms and purposes of knowledge audits; Basic tools and techniques in knowledge audits; The value of a participatory approach; Knowledge mapping, and advanced techniques for knowledge audits; Case scenarios: five knowledge audits and their outcomes; Getting started in knowledge audits; Planning your approach, involving stakeholders and selecting your tools; Conducting the knowledge audit, dealing with perceptions, building and maintaining energy and purpose; Exploiting the knowledge audit; Knowledge audits as an influence for change; Embedding a culture of knowledge stewardship.

NEW Knowledge Management in Higher Education A practical approach Sebastian Diaz, West Virginia University and Phillip Ice, American Public University System (APUS), USA Technological developments are fundamentally changing how we gather, analyze, and disseminate data. As academic institutions shift from authority-based to data-driven decision making, they need to use the sound knowledge management principles that are revolutionising the private sector. Doing so will make them more competitive. Knowledge Management in Higher Education provides higher education professionals with a new paradigm for conducting assessment and program evaluation by exploiting technology effectively. This book is divided into four main sections, covering: the evolution of program evaluation and decision making; changing paradigms for program evaluation in knowledge management; and case studies of knowledge management implementation in higher education.

Novel processing and searching tools for the management of new multimedia documents have developed. Multimedia Information Retrieval (MMIR) is an organic system made up of Text Retrieval (TR); Visual Retrieval (VR); Video Retrieval (VDR); and Audio Retrieval (AR) systems. So that each type of digital document may be analysed and searched by the elements of language appropriate to its nature, search criteria must be extended. Such an approach is known as the Content Based Information Retrieval (CBIR), and is the core of MMIR. This novel content-based concept of information handling needs to be integrated with more traditional semantics. Multimedia Information Retrieval focuses on the tools of processing and searching applicable to the content-based management of new multimedia documents. Translated from Italian by Giles Smith, the book is divided in to two parts. Part one discusses MMIR and related theories, and puts forward new methodologies; part two reviews various experimental and operating MMIR systems, and presents technical and practical conclusions. CONTENTS

Part 1 Theoretical and methodological innovations: A cultural and scientific context for the theory of MMIR; Multimedia digital document treatment and indexing; MMIR methodology in the context of library and information science; Methodological definition of multimedia information retrieval. Part 2 Managerial and applicative developments: The present state of the MMIR system; Technique and technology of MMIR systems; The integration of MMIR modalities.

NEW Data Clean-up and Management

NEW Personal Knowledge Capital The inner and outer path of knowledge creation in a web world Janette Young, Consultant and Facilitator, UK Knowledge capital refers to knowledge built up by the members of an organisation, and is a key element in modern business. Personal Knowledge Capital explores two important aspects of knowledge capital, the inner and the outer path. The inner path considers emotional knowledge assets. The outer path examines how to communicate this emotional knowledge through intellectual and social capital, community, conversation, and trust in a web world, supported by an infrastructure and model. Personal Knowledge Capital explores how ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ management styles and approaches to knowledge creation can be integrated. Divided into two sections, the inner and outer path, the first part considers inner aspects of knowledge capital, including knowledge creation and tacit knowledge, whilst the second explores how inner aspects of knowledge capital can be effectively communicated and exploited in the modern world, both online and offline. CONTENTS

Introduction to personal knowledge capital. Part 1 The inner path of knowledge creation: Exploring knowledge creation and tacit knowledge; Tuning-in: Knowingness for inner personal knowledge capital; Mastering self and behaviour; Ka, the knowledge awareness model for knowledge creation.

Tom Young and Nick Milton, Knoco Ltd, UK

Gillian Oliver, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

‘Offers a straightforward and easy-to-grasp overview of a complex subject.’

‘…informative and well-reasoned and is highly recommended. This book will appeal to those who enjoy a fresh perspective and wish to deepen their understanding of the diverse organisational cultures in our globalised world.’

Petros Kostagiolas, Ionian University, Greece Aimed at library practitioners and academics of all levels, Managing Intellectual Capital in Libraries explores the exciting area of intellectual capital management in libraries. The presence of intellectual capital in libraries is largely intangible; however, in the economy of knowledge we must constantly make informed decisions regarding non-tangible, non-monetary, invisible resources in order to better understand their possible usages, structure, production and value. Intellectual capital-based library management is a key issue, fostering innovation that improves a library’s operations and services. Intellectual capital has become the buzzword of knowledge-based economies, and is the ultimate source of competitive advantage. This book provides guidelines, methods and techniques for managing intellectual capital in a library environment. Analysis is accompanied by examples and case studies for intellectual capital utilization in libraries. CONTENTS

Libraries in the knowledge economy: Introducing intellectual capital concepts; Libraries’ Worlds of Production and intellectual capital utilization; Identifying and categorizing intellectual capital in libraries; Measuring libraries’ intellectual capital; Financial valuation and reporting of intellectual capital in libraries; Survival analysis for libraries’ intellectual capital resources; Putting it all together: Summary and final thoughts for further research.

Technology and Knowledge Flow The power of networks Edited by Guglielmo Trentin, CNR – Institute for Educational Technology, Italy This book outlines how network technology can support, foster and enhance the Knowledge Management, Sharing and Development (KMSD) processes in professional environments through the activation of both formal and informal knowledge flows. Understanding how ICT can be made available to such flows in the knowledge society is a factor that cannot be disregarded and is confirmed by the increasing interest of companies in new forms of software-mediated social interaction. The latter factor is in relation both to the possibility of accelerating internal communication and problem solving processes, and/or in relation to dynamics of endogenous knowledge growth of human resources. CONTENTS

Leveraging mobile network technologies to accelerate tacit knowledge flows across organisations and distances; Supporting knowledge flow in web-based environments by means of narrative; What are virtual walls to flow of knowledge in teamwork discussions? Knowledge flows and graphic knowledge representations; Graphic knowledge representation as a tool for fostering knowledge flow in informal learning processes; Conclusive thought on communication flow, knowledge flow and informal learning.

The Australian Library Journal In today’s digital environment the workplace is characterised by individuals creating information perhaps independently of formal systems, or establishing new systems without knowledge of information management requirements.

Information management The Future of PostHuman Knowledge

The Future of Information Architecture

Strategic Information Management

A preface to a new theory of methodology and ontology

Peter Baofu, Consultant

A practitioner’s guide

The Future of Information Architecture examines issues surrounding why information is processed, stored and applied in the way that it has, since time immemorial. Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many scholars in human history, the recurrent debate on the explanation of the most basic categories of information (e.g. Space, time causation, quality, quantity) has been misconstrued, to the effect that there exists some deeper categories and principles behind these categories of information.

Jela Webb, Consultant, UK

Peter Baofu, Consultant

Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many thinkers in all human history, there are some fundamental dialectic principles hidden behind any categories of understanding in knowing. These principles impose some constraints, at both methodological and ontological levels, together with other levels in culture, society, nature, and the mind - on how reality is to be understood. The focus on understanding the nature of knowledge has been much misplaced, in this sense, in the intellectual history hitherto existing, and much time and talent have been wasted for something less important. If true, this thesis will alter the way of how knowledge is to be understood across the board. CONTENTS

Business management NEW Creating a Competitive Intelligence Capability

NEW Supplementary Protection Certificates (Patent Extensions)

Developing the intelligent organisation

Law and practice

Deonie Botha, University of Pretoria, South Africa

Duncan Curley, Innovate Legal, UK

This book examines establishing a Competitive Intelligence (CI) capability within organisations. Many CI practitioners are confronted with the reality of having to make the transition from the ‘what’ to the ‘how’ and need guidelines on establishing a CI capability. Creating a Competitive Intelligence Capability provides CI practitioners and students at all levels with an overview of the challenges in terms of establishing a CI capability as well as the best practices in terms of addressing CI challenges within an organisational context. CONTENTS

Competitive intelligence – a theoretical discussion of the concept of CI. Concludes with a terminology list on CI which is applicable to the industry as well as to the book; Positioning the CI capability - theoretical discussion on the positioning or placing of CI in the organisational structure; Human resources for the CI capability - the staffing or human resource needs of a CI unit; Activities and functions of the CI capability; Measuring the effectiveness of the CI capability – a discussion on the necessity of measuring the effectiveness of the return on investment of a CI or the return on investment of a CI capability; Conclusion - a summary of the content of the book and concludes with trends in terms of CI and more specifically the relationship between CI and innovation.

Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) (patents extensions) for pharmaceutical and veterinary products were introduced in Europe in 1993. In 1996, a similar regime was introduced for agrochemical (crop protection) products. SPCs extend the period of protection given by a patent for a maximum of five years after the patent has expired. They were intended to compensate patent holders for the loss of exclusivity caused by the requirement in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries to obtain regulatory approval before a product can be marketed. SPCs are of enormous commercial significance to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, since they provide additional monopoly protection at a time when many products are reaching peak sales. This book provides a practical, unifying and comprehensive guide to the law as it now stands. CONTENTS

Historical background: Patent term erosion and the need for SPCs; The SPC regulation for pharmaceutical and veterinary products; The scheme of the regulation in outline; The SPC regulation for plant protection products; Scope of protection of SPCs: What are covered, what are not covered; Applying for SPCs: Administrative aspects; SPCs in practice: The case law in detail; Analysing the raediatric regulation and paediatric extensions.

When tradition turns into innovation

Consumption and management

How firms can create and appropriate value through tradition

The author’s consumption theory has been known as the new ideas, new theories and new contribution to the reform and development in China. In practice, the author has rich experience of the Chinese state-owned large enterprise, and personal experience of building a business empire second to the postal system in China. In the fermentation field of medicine, he has 20 patents, two of which are international patents. These techniques have made some of the Chinese medicines more efficient, safe and non-toxic for the effect of conservation treatment. Therefore, this book has two parts: 1) new discovery of consumption and its significance and 2) application of the theoretical findings in real life management.

New discovery and applications Bingxin Wu, Shizhen Institute of Biology, China

Antonio Petruzzelli and Vito Albino, Politecnico di Bari, Italy Starting from the increasing difficulties firms face to create new value for customers and achieve competitive advantage, this book proposes an innovative strategy to sustain innovation at the product level, based on the notion of tradition. Specifically, the authors argue that firms may successfully innovate, exploiting the whole set of competencies, knowledge, values and culture that characterize a specific firm, territory, and/or age. Analyzing several international case studies, this book clearly shows how tradition may be effectively used, allowing companies to create successful new products and how to profit from them. The book tackles the main issues and problems of a tradition-based innovation approach, tracing the patterns of how old and new knowledge can be combined. CONTENTS

Re-thinking innovation approach; The meaning of tradition; A tradition-based innovation strategy; Case studies; Towards a new perspective of innovation.

Internet, web and social media NEW Google This! Putting Google and other social media sites to work for your library Terry Ballard, New York Law School, USA ‘At last, a book that helps to understand and apply the tools that the techno-savvy are using.’

Loriene Roy, ALA President, 2007-2008 Many libraries and museums nowadays have adapted to the current information climate and work with Google, Facebook, Twitter and iTunes to deliver information to their users, however most have not. Google This! describes the variety of free (or nearly free) options for social media and shows how libraries from the Library of Congress down to small public libraries are adapting them. The author has conducted more than two dozen interviews with professionals who have created exemplary work using social media, and shows how their experiences can create success for your institution’s library.

iPhone Application Development Strategies for efficient mobile design and delivery Jim Hahn, University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign, USA iPhone application development is explained here in an accessible treatment for the generalist Library and Information Science (LIS) practitioner. Future information-seeking practices by users will take place across a diverse array of ubiquitous computing devices. iPhone applications represent one of the most compelling new platforms for which to remediate and re-engineer library service. Strategies of efficient mobile design and delivery include adapting computing best practices of data independence and adhering to web standards as articulated by the W3C. These best practices apply across the diverse range of handheld devices and accompanying software development tools. This book is essentially a how-to guide for application development, laying out foundational principles and then moving toward practical implementations. CONTENTS

Chandos Publishing Social Media Series No. 11

Local Community in the Era of Social Media Technologies introduces the experience of bringing a local community to the world. This book starts with the model of Santa Cruz County, California to develop a truly global approach to the subject.

Extremely large amounts of knowledge are available on the World Wide Web. Making Sense of the Web focuses on making better use of this knowledge, including how the web can be used for machine-aided discovery of new knowledge. The first part of the book reviews various historical approaches to defining and studying knowledge and describing how knowledge can be represented online. The second part presents current approaches to efficient exploitation of knowledge online, and focuses on the Semantic Web, linked open data and social network analysis. The third part of the book introduces possible approaches to semi-automated discovery of new knowledge based on current web content, and introduces a novel framework for machine-aided knowledge evolution. The last part describes selected application areas that may benefit from the principles and technologies described. Extensive practical examples and links to existing tools and frameworks are provided to help practitioners implement advanced web-based knowledge discovery applications quickly.

Natural disasters such as the Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 and human-made crises such as the recent political disruption in North Africa and the Middle East have demonstrated that there is a great need to understand how individuals, government, and non-government agencies create, access, organize, communicate, and disseminate information within communities during crisis situations. This edited book brings together papers written by researchers and practitioners from a variety of information perspectives in crisis preparedness, response and recovery. CONTENTS

Web 2.0 and Libraries

Navigating the social within the digital can be a contentious undertaking, as social networks confuse the boundary between offline and online relationships. These systems work to bring people together in an online environment. Participation can dislocate users from other relationships, however, and deviant ‘online’ behaviour can create ‘offline’ issues. This text tackles online social networks, by navigating these systems from the birth to the death of the digital self. The author begins by examining the creation of a virtual identity in online networks popularized by websites such as Facebook and Myspace. The book subsequently explores how the social self is intrinsic to how social, cultural and professional relationships are discovered, forged and maintained. The text journeys through the popular criticisms of social networking such as employee time-wasting, bullying, stalking, the alleged links between social networks and suicide and the decline of a user’s public image. CONTENTS

Birth: Name/age/education/status update: Creating a digital presence; All a twitter: Celebrities and social networking. Life: Putting the social in social networks; (Net) Working: Online social networks and the New Economy. Death: You’ve been poked: Bullying, harassment and everyday undercurrents; Are we dead yet? Conclusion.

ChyeKok Ho, Monash University, Malaysia and ChinSeng Koh, The Knowledge Practise, China and Singapore

Edited by Sangheon Lee, Conditions of Work and Employment Programme of the International Labour Office, UK and Francois Eyraud, ILO Turin Training Center, Italy

This book examines how to conduct due diligence on mergers and acquisitions for organisations in China written from a management perspective. Aimed primarily at practitioners within the field of International Human Resource Management, it highlights models that appear straightforward and yet are susceptible to oversights and failings. It examines the roles of human resource practitioners from when a target company is identified for mergers or acquisitions through to assessing its risks. The book incorporates adopting human resource management strategies under differing business conditions, negotiating to secure the deal and integrating the new business unit to the merged or acquired organisation. This title gives a fantastically detailed analysis of due diligence, capturing the nuances of the Chinese way of doing things and how this affects a business environment.

NEW The Private Sector’s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia Scott A. Hipsher, Fort Hays State University, China Campus The Private Sector’s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia argues that the best way to create sustainable projects is to create win-win situations where both private companies and individuals working their way out of poverty can benefit. The book provides a practical guide for managers and individuals working in the private sector in the least developed areas of Asia to help make a difference to the lives of others. The book’s opening chapter considers the private sector’s role in poverty reduction in Asia and following chapters discuss the variable nature of development, developing economy environments in Asia and business practices and strategies in these economies. A number of Asian economies are considered in turn, including: China; Vietnam; Thailand; Cambodia; Laos PDR; Southeast Asian countries; South Asian countries; Central Asian countries; and the Himalayas. The final chapter looks at creating sustainable winwin situations. CONTENTS

Hailan Yang, Shandong Jianzhu University, China and Stephen Morgan, University of Nottingham, UK This book analyses how China’s firms in the consumer electronics (CE) sector have developed their business strategy and corporate governance during the reform process. The CE sector is one of China’s most important and dynamic manufacturing sectors. As one of the earliest market-oriented sectors after 1978, its experience illustrates the adoption of the Western model of management in China. This is the first book to analyse the link between business strategy, corporate governance and performance of firms, explicitly comparing state-, collective-, and privately-owned firms. This book argues that the competitive dynamics of the market are central to the survival of firms in contemporary China. CONTENTS

The Multidimensions of Industrial Relations in the Asian Knowledge-Based Economies Edited by Sununta Siengthai, Asian Institute of Technology (A.I.T.), Thailand, John Lawler, University of Illinois, USA, Chris Rowley, City University, UK and Hiromasa Suzuki, Waseda University, Japan This collection of work by leading scholars investigates the impact of the globalization process on some selected Asian economies and societies. With particular focus on the role of institutional factors such as labour unions or workers’ associations, case studies are presented on labour-management relations at the workplace that have evolved to cope with globalization. The cases describe labour institutions in the society as a social force that acts as a catalyst for societal democracy and for industrial democracy at the workplace. These cases provide descriptions of the changes in the management’s stance and approaches towards labour unions in the selected countries as well as at the organizational level over the last three decades when much of the industrialization process has occurred in Asia.

NEW Solving Disputes for Regional Cooperation and Development in the South China Sea

NEW China’s Venture Capital Market Current legal problems and prospective reforms

A Chinese perspective

Lin Zhang, Shandong University of Science and Technology, China

Shicun Wu, National Institute for the South China Sea Studies, China

The venture capital market in China has been developing for 20 years. Over this period, the legal frameworks surrounding China’s venture capital have evolved significantly. China’s Venture Capital Market addresses this important topic and argues for further improvements in legal frameworks for venture capital in China. The book is broken down into five chapters, each covering an aspect of venture capital in China. The first chapter profiles the venture capital market in China. The second, third and fourth chapters consider the legal problems and suggested reform measures for fundraising in, the operation of, and exit from Chinese venture capital. The book concludes by asking how long it will take for reform measures to take place in China.

This book discusses the South China Sea dispute from a Chinese perspective with regards to history, law, international politics, the economy, diplomacy and military affairs. Not only does it detail China’s official position on the sovereignty and maritime disputes in the South China Sea, but also provides analyses of the related factors influencing the origin and development of these disputes. It further assesses the complexity, internationalisation and long-term struggle over the South China Sea and China’s efforts in dispute resolution. This book aims to help readers better understand a Chinese perspective on the complexity of the South China Sea disputes, including competition over the sovereignty of the islets, islands regime and its impact on maritime delimitation, overlapping maritime claims, and how the adjacent states can cooperate for resource development in the South China Sea.

NEW Yunnan-A Chinese Bridgehead to Asia

NEW Internet Law in China

Doing Business Successfully in China

Guosong Shao, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, China

Mona Chung, Deakin University, Australia

A comprehensive, structured, and up-todate introduction to the law governing the dissemination of information in a computermediated world in China, Internet Law in China stresses the practical applications of the law that are encountered by all individuals and organizations in Chinese cyberspace, but always in the light of theoretical underpinnings. Among the overarching topics treated in the Chinese context are the following: intellectual property protection in cyberspace; privacy of communication and data privacy; electronic contract forming and electronic signature; personal, domestic and international jurisdiction; and free expression in cyberspace.

Despite the overwhelming importance of the Chinese economy to the success of Western economies, there has yet to be an examination of why Western companies have had difficulties in doing business with the Chinese. A significant barrier that companies have difficulty to overcome is the effective communication with their Chinese counter parts. This major impediment is caused by no understanding of the cultural differences between the Chinese and Western business cultures. This book offers the solution to this problem: the bi-cultural personnel.

NEW Multinational Corporation Subsidiaries in China

A case study of China’s political and economic relations with its neighbours Tim Summers, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong The Chinese province of Yunnan has been undergoing a dynamic process of repositioning, from a Southwestern periphery of the PRC (People’s Republic of China) to a ‘bridgehead’ between China and its neighbours in Southeast and South Asia. Yunnan-A Chinese Bridgehead to Asia traces this process and its implications, demonstrating the extent of provincial agency in global interactions in reform-era China, and the growing global importance of ‘southsouth’ economic and commercial interactions. The first chapter overviews China’s changing global relationships. The next chapter gives an overview of Yunnan’s history and key elements in its regional and global interactions. The third chapter then outlines the development since the 1980s of ideas concerning Yunnan’s geopolitical positioning. The next three chapters consider three main areas of political economy in turn: transnational institutions; infrastructure and transport development and; regional and bilateral ties between Yunnan and Southeast and South Asia.

An empirical study of growth and development strategy Jinghua Zhao, Central University of Finance and Economics, China, Jifu Wang, University of Houston, Vipin Gupta, California State University and Tim Hudson, Texas Tech University, USA This comprehensive study examines the global strategies of multinational corporations (MNCs), the strategic evolution and the categories of their subsidiaries in China based on 150 MNCs. It is the first large-scale project of this nature to be conducted. The research has significant bearing on strategic planning for firms that have set up, are setting up or are planning to establish subsidiaries in China, and the firms that try to compete in the global marketplace. The findings are significant for the West, owing to the current economic crisis and the need to determine if subsidiary expansion strategies will help Western firms achieve the portfolio effects in operations and avoid the harmful impact of macro events such as the existing global financial crisis.

NEW The Political Economy of Corporate Responsibility in India

Ram Raghavan, TALENGENE, UK

Bimal Arora, Nottingham University, UK The overall socio-economic development experience in India under different economic governance frameworks since the 1950s has given rise to a large number of interrelated concerns, including: impacts on employment and distribution of income, emergence of new forms of vulnerabilities, weakened state structures, imbalanced demographics with sub-national disparities, environmental and biomass degeneration and dismal performance on several human development indicators. However, all the institutional actors, including private sector corporations, have responded to these challenges in different ways. This book documents these experiences in the Indian context and identifies the scope and limitations of corporations to address such concerns. CONTENTS
