Author: Don I. PhillipsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000309770
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The authors of this book point to the need for a strong cooperative relationship between research and education to halt declines and to regain some of the earlier vitality of both. Representatives of the scientific, educational, and government sectors look at the problems and prospects facingU.S. research and university education, presenting the perspectives of their own institutional biases and turning also to the experiences of Canada and Western Europe. The concerns,proposals, and requirements they express deal with areas of conflict and suggest possible solutions. Though their views sometimes diverge, the authors seek to define some basic principles that can guide the development of productive new policies.

Author: Scientific Journals: Issues in Library Selection and Management
Author: Tony StankusPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000760103
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
This book, first published in 1987, brings together from a variety of sources analysis on the major issues involved in the collection of scientific journals. Working from the premise that scientists tend to know much more about their subject than about their journals, it examines the rationale for journal choices, journals and tenure, journals and budgeting, and the elements of a good journal. It shows librarians how to penetrate the internal structure of some imposing technical literatures in a way that can help them make responsible collection management decisions that even their science clientele will respect.
