AbstractThe National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) is a permanent, independent agency of the US Government established by Public Law 91–345 in 1970 to advise the President and the Congress on the nation's library and information needs and to develop and implement policies and plans in this area. TheOverviewdiscusses the organization of the Commission, its major programs and recent activities, and describes its new programs and plans. These programs focus on: (1) Access to Information, (2) Improving Library and Information Services to Meet Changing Needs, (3) Information Technology and Productivity, and (4) Policy Planning and Advic

摘要:

AbstractThe fastest growing segment of the population of the United States is that of persons 65 years and older. These persons have special information needs that can be filled, in part, by library and information services that are targeted to them. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) notes an urgency to improve library and information services to the aging now and in preparation for the 30% rise in the over‐age‐65 population expected by the year 2000. The authors discuss the library and information needs of the aging, the current state of services to the aging, and steps taken by NCLIS to call attention to the need for enhancement of these services. Suggestions are given for libraries and service providers to consider for cooperation and collaboration in serving the elde

摘要:

AbstractThe growth of U.S. productivity has been declining for several years. The reasons for this decline are complex, and there is little consensus among experts as to the real cause. Part of the difficulty lies in accurately assessing the productivity of today's workforce. Much of the work being done in today's society is based on services, communications, and information and, therefore, no longer fits the traditional production processes and techniques used for measuring productivity in an industrial society. Traditional input and output measures do not work for measuring the productivity of most white collar workers. New measures and definitions are needed to measure productivity more accurately. Information technology and the effective management of information resources are beginning to play a significant role in reversing the declining rate of U.S. productivity growth. Traditionally, the introduction of new technologies into the workplace has focused on the blue collar worker or, within the office environment, on the secretarial or clerical population. However, the bulk of U.S. salary expenditures is spent on the managerial and professional population. The greatest productivity gains can be realized by improving the productivity of this group, often referred to asknowledge workers.By improving knowledge workers' ability to communicate more effectively and to find and use information more efficiently, significant improvements in productivity can be realized.

摘要:

AbstractThe politics of information in contemporary times is a kaleidoscope of continuing change as society and government strive to cope with the impacts of various information technologies–computers, telecommunications, microform systems, audio and video devices. Within the Congress and throughout Federal, State, and local governmental units, inexorable pressures are causing the integration of these innovative support systems into existing processes. Laws and institutions are evolving at an accelerated pace, as both public and private sector leadership recognize the criticalness of selectively utilizing this manifestation of mankind's ingenuity as applied to the collection, processing, retrieval, and distribution of information essential to business, education, science, agriculture, and an array of social service

摘要:

AbstractThe primary goal of the NCLIS is to help provide all people in the nation with equal opportunity of access to library and information services. The Commission's work has had significant impact on the library/information community and the users of its services. The single event that had the greatest impact throughout the country was the WHCLIS. Many of its resolutions focused on access‐related issues. The single most important technical development to affect access is the rapid expansion of information technologies. Networking, the dissemination of federal information, and the role of the private sector in providing public information are other access issues. All of these issues are currently part of the Commission's progra

摘要:

AbstractThis study compared the use of statistics in 99 journals from four subject areas: library and information science, education, social work, and business. It was found that journals in library and information science produced more articles making no use of statistics than did journals in the other three subject areas, and that only in library and information science were there more articles using descriptive techniques only than articles using inferential techniques. A comparison of the mean number of articles per journal using no statistics, descriptive statistics only, and inferential statistics indicated that the mean number of articles per journal using inferential statistics was much lower for library and information science than for the other subject areas. The only inferential technique not used significantly less in library and information science than in the other subject areas was correlation, one of the simplest of inferential techniques.

摘要:

AbstractTwo journal‐to‐journal matrices for psychology in 1950 and 1960 are analyzed in terms of structural equivalence. Structurally nonequivalent positions have a strong correspondence with a categorization based on the intended audiences and objectives of these journals, supporting the hypothesis that journals of a discipline function as a status‐role relational system. The hypothesis that interdisciplinary journals are distant from journals of a field is also supported. However, the hypothesis that journal networks have a core‐periphery structure is not supported. The network of psychological journals has a discernable core, but not a clear core‐periphery structure. Some propositions concerning the causes and consequences of the structure of journal‐to‐journal networks for fields
