Book Description
This report summarizes the results of an extensive literature survey conducted to provide the U.S. Army National Guard and Reserve, i.e., the Reserve Component (RC), with practicable information on how to train for enhanced soldier performance, General training procedures or strategies are recommended for improving the learning, retention, and transfer of verbal and perceptual motor skills. When incorporated by the military training developer and applied on a task-by-task basis by the RC trainer, these general procedures will help to ensure maximum payoff from the training resources invested. Keywords: Reserve component; Training; Learning; Retention; Transfer; Verbal skills; Perceptual- motor skills.

Book Description
This report provides a catalog of selected research and development (R&D) products produced between 1985-1998 by the U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Reserve Component (RC) (i.e., Army National Guard and Reserve). The catalog contains seven chapters. The first describes ARI and its mission, and then the RC, its organization and strength, and how its operational environment differs from that of the Active Component (AC). The next two describe products that use training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS) to overcome individual/crew (Chapter 2) and unit/battle staff (Chapter 3) training time constraints. Chapter 4 talks about products designed to bring geographically dispersed soldiers closer together via distance learning. Chapter 5 describes the results of our efforts to understand and predict RC soldier attrition. Chapter 6 tells what we know about RC soldiers' reactions to being called up for deployment, and the feasibility of using a composite AC/RC unit for peacekeeping missions. The final chapter concludes with what we think is the payoff from the products described. The catalog's product summaries include why, how, and with/for whom work was done, what was found/developed, what the conclusions/implications are, and where more information can be found. In doing so, we hope to reveal not only what ARI has done up until now, hut also the scope of what it is capable of doing in the future, to support RC R&D product needs of the 21st Century.

Reference Service Expertise
Author: William A. KatzPublisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 9781560244608
Category : Information services
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
This important volume presents a wealth of practical ideas for improving the art of reference librarianship. Reference Service Expertise provides pragmatic ways for librarians to aid patrons, consider reference collections and how they are employed, and assess various technologies in reference work. Dedicated to the idea that reference service is a benevolent desire to help the sometimes puzzled library user, this unique book describes numerous and varied means to that end and encourages reference librarians to become familiar with the multiple resources available in modern libraries. Reference Service Expertise pinpoints specific areas in which librarians can increase their knowledge in order to become more efficient. These strategies include using a systems approach in reference instruction for library professionals; guidelines for academic librarians to use for evaluating facilities, services, and staff as to how effectively they welcome users and validate their information needs; using team teaching to instruct users about library services; developing legal reference skills to support the constitutional right-to-know in a self-governing society; and helping non-science librarians to become science literate by reading popular science literature, watching science television programs, visiting science museums, and generally increasing their awareness of the problem of science illiteracy among the general population. A wide variety of resources available in today's reference libraries are discussed to help librarians become better informed about the options available to their patrons, including: ERIC and NTIS and the information gap between the two databases resources on the evolving market economy or investments in the Commonwealth of Independent States fee-based services PsycLIT (CD-ROM), PsycINFO (online), and the difference in retrieval patterns using the same vocabulary of terms interactive media centers--advantages and shortcomings Reference librarians in all types of libraries will benefit from chapters that describe specific methods for improving their own personal effectiveness as well as chapters that evaluate specific services and reference tools available for reference library users.
Workload Transition
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030904796X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Workload transition is a potentially crucial problem in work situations wherein operators are faced with abrupt changes in task demands. People involved include military combat personnel, air-traffic controllers, medical personnel in emergency rooms, and long-distance drivers. They must be able to respond efficiently to sudden increases in workload imposed by a failure, crisis, or other, often unexpected, event. This book provides a systematic evaluation of workload transition. It focuses on a broad spectrum of activities ranging from team cooperation to the maintenance of this problem on a theoretical level and offers several practical solutions.
