This course will present an overview of universal design as a historical movement, as a philosophy, and as an applicable set of tools. Students will learn about the diversity of experiences and capabilities that people have, including disabilities (e.g. physical, learning, cognitive, resulting from age and/or accident), cultural backgrounds, and other abilities. The class will also give students the opportunity to redesign specific products or environments to make them more universally accessible and usable. By the end of this class, students will be able to? - Articulate the ethical, philosophical, and practical aspects of Universal Design as a method and movement ? both in general and as it relates to their specific work and life circumstances - Demonstrate the specific pedagogical, ethical, and customer service benefits of using Universal Design principles to develop and recreate library spaces and services in order to make them more broadly accessible - Integrate the ideals and practicalities of Universal Design into library spaces and services via a continuous critique and evaluation cycle Details here and Registration here .

Schindel In accounts of identity and making sense of professional roles, time is a linguistic resource that librarians and pharmacists?members of information-rich professions?draw upon. Accounts of time organize narratives of professionalism, make sense of new and evolving roles, frame a profession?s future, and create meaning from the profession?s past. Quand il s?agit d?identit? et de donner un sens ? des r?les professionnels, le temps est une ressource linguistique tr?s utile aux biblioth?caires et aux pharmaciens, deux professions ? forte concentration informationnelle. Le temps racont? met en sc?ne des r?cits sur le professionnalisme, sur les r?les nouveaux et ceux qui ?voluent, cadrent l?avenir d?une profession et cr?ent du sens ? partir du pass? de cette profession. Becoming Librarians, Becoming Teachers: Kairos and Professional Identity / Devenir biblioth?caire, devenir enseignant : Le Kairos et l?identit? professionnelle Emily Drabinski Using kairos as an analytic lens, this article examines debates around the professional role of librarians as teachers as an example of professionalizing discourse. Rather than inexorably leading librarians toward the best way to understand and teach information literacy, kairos surfaces the discourse as being productive instead of the profession itself. Cette ?tude s?appuie sur la notion de kairos comme outil d?analyse pour examiner le d?bat autour du r?le professionnel des biblioth?caires en tant qu?en-seignants, comme exemples de discours de professionnalisation. Plut?t que mener les biblioth?caires inexorablement ? la meilleure fa?on de comprendre et d?enseigner la comp?tence informationnelle, le kairos ?merge du discours comme productif en lieu et place de la profession elle-m?me. Napol?on et l??valuation bibliom?trique de la recherche : Consid?rations sur la r?forme de l?universit? et sur l?action de l?agence nationale d??valuation en Italie / Napoleon and the Bibliometric Evaluation of Research: Considerations on University Reform and the Action of the National Evaluation Agency in Italy Les r?formes de l?Universit? entreprises en Italie ont introduit des innovations dans un appareil administratif napol?onien inadapt? ? les recevoir, g?n?rant ainsi un syst?me institutionnel compl?tement d?s?quilibr?. Le centre de gravit? du syst?me est pass? de l?administration minist?rielle ? l?Agence nationale d??valuation de l?universit? et de la recherche (ANVUR), par l?attribution directe au groupe d??lite choisi par le gouvernement, d?un pouvoir ?norme et sans contrepoids sur la recherche et les universit?s. Une mauvaise conception de la gouvernance de l?ANVUR a d?termin? la r?alisation d?activit?s d??valuation techniquement inad?quates. Les critiques adress?es aux activit?s d??valuation et aux m?thodes bibliom?triques ont r?anim? le d?bat sur la politique de la recherche en Italie, et suscit? l??mergence d?un scientific counterpublic. The academic reforms in Italy have introduced innovations in a Napoleonic administrative apparatus unfit to receive them, thus generating a completely unbalanced institutional system. The system?s center of gravity has moved from the administration by the ministry to the National Agency for the Evaluation of University and Research (ANVUR), assigning directly to the elite group chosen by the government enormous power on research and the universities, without counter-weight. The poor design of the governance of the ANVUR has resulted in the realization of technically inadequate evaluations. Criticism addressed to the evaluation activities and to the bibliometric methods used have revived the debate on research policy in Italy, with the emergence of a scientific counter-public. Open Access in the Developing Regions: Situating the Altercations About Predatory Publishing / L?acc?s libre dans les r?gions en voie de d?veloppement : Situation de la controverse concernant les pratiques d??dition d?loyales W.E. Nwagwu A notable event in the current revolution of the World Wide Web is the open access model of publishing, which promotes freedom of inquiry and full and open availability of scientific information on a global scale. The promise of open access to replace existing scientific information dissemination practices and ethos has been contentious, with the interests of different stakeholders?countries, publishers, and open access activists, among others, clashing on an unprecedented scale. With special reference to the emergence of predatory journals, this article examines some of the challenges that have been triggered by the open access movement. Basically, open access is technology heavy, and its economic arrangements benefit mainly the developed world. There exists evidence of open access initiatives in the Africa region, but these initiatives are mainly individually based and are largely underdeveloped and sometimes predatory. The author argues that what is required now is a regional open access policy that spells out how the issues of right and cost, and others, will be viewed and addressed in the region to ensure that the benefits of open access do not bypass Africa. Un ?v?nement notable dans la r?volution actuelle du web est le mod?le du libre acc?s dans le domaine de l??dition, qui favorise la libert? de la recherche et la disponibilit? pleine et enti?re de l?information scientifique ? l??chelle mondiale. La promesse du libre acc?s de remplacer les pratiques existantes et la philosophie de diffusion de l?information scientifique a fait l?objet de controverses, les int?r?ts des diff?rentes parties prenantes?pays, ?diteurs, militants du libre acc?s, entre autres, s?affrontant sur une ?chelle sans pr?c?dent. Faisant r?f?rence particuli?rement ? l??mergence de revues aux pratiques d?loyales, le pr?sent article examine certains des d?fis qui ont ?t? d?clench?s par le mouvement du libre acc?s. Fondamentalement, le libre acc?s implique une forte composante technologique et ses arrangements ?conomiques profitent essentiellement au monde d?velopp?. Il existe des preuves d?initiatives de libre acc?s en Afrique, mais ces initiatives sont essentiellement des initiatives individuelles, g?n?ralement sous-d?velopp?es, et recourant parfois ? des pratiques d?loyales. L?auteur fait valoir que ce qui est n?cessaire maintenant est une politique de libre acc?s r?gionale pr?cisant la fa?on dont les questions de droit et de co?t, parmi d?autres, doivent ?tre con?ues et abord?es dans cette r?gion afin de s?assurer que l?Afrique ne soit pas exclue des avantages du libre acc?s. The Application of the TOPSIS Method in Selecting the Best Academic Library at the University of Ni? / L?application de la m?thode TOPSIS en vue d?un choix de la meilleure biblioth?que acad?mique de l?Universit? de Ni? Mirjana D. Man?ev Multi-criteria analysis and its methods have become indispensable in the decision making and planning that occurs in all scientific disciplines because they are methodologically consistent, reliable, and easy to use. The main objective of this study is to analyze the quality of the services provided by the libraries at the University of Ni?. To achieve this goal, the author has applied a method of multi-criteria analysis, the so-called TOPSIS method. Using this method, libraries were ranked based on the following criteria: the time required to search the library fund through available electronic databases, the size of the library space, and the size of the library fund available to the users. The research has shown that the library at the Faculty of Medicine, in relation to the given criteria, has the best conditions for the provision of services to its users. The results of this study indicate that the use of this method is justified because it provides an objective solution to the problem of choosing a library providing the highest quality of customer service. L?analyse multicrit?res et ses m?thodes sont devenues indispensables ? la prise de d?cision et ? la planification aujourd?hui dans toutes les disciplines scientifiques, parce qu?elles sont m?thodologiquement coh?rentes, fiables et faciles ? utiliser. L?objectif principal de cette ?tude ?tait d?analyser la qualit? des services fournis par les biblioth?ques de l?Universit? de Ni?. Pour atteindre cet objectif, l?auteur a appliqu? une m?thode d?analyse multicrit?res, la m?thode dite TOPSIS. En utilisant cette m?thode, les biblioth?ques ont ?t? class?es selon les crit?res suivants: le temps n?cessaire pour effectuer des recherches dans le fonds de la biblioth?que en utilisant les bases de donn?es ?lectroniques disponibles sur les ordinateurs, les dimensions spatiales de la biblioth?que et la taille du fonds de la biblioth?que mis ? la disposition des utilisateurs. La recherche a montr? que, selon les crit?res choisis, c?est la biblioth?que de la Facult? de m?decine qui offrait les meilleures conditions pour la prestation de services ? ses utilisateurs. Les r?sultats obtenus par l?application de cette m?thode indiquent que son utilisation est justifi?e par le fait qu?elle apporte une solution objective au probl?me du choix d?une biblioth?que fournissant la meilleure qualit? de service ? sa client?le.
