EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION
Authors: Mezzich Juan E. , Wong Michael T.H.
Published: September 2022

As medical historian Harvey White et al have proclaimed, there is no medicine without the person. This may be traced back to the times of our Neanderthal ancestors, among whom life survival and health restoration seemed to have depended on mutual social support. Contemporary times witness the growing prominence of the person in medicine, health, and education.

Person Centered Medicine, as a basic concept, recognizes the whole person as the center of health and as the goal and protagonist of health actions. This also means a medicine of the person, for the person, by the person and with the person. Articulating science and humanism, Person Centered Medicine strives for a medicine informed by evidence, experience, and values and aimed at the restoration and promotion of health for all.
CULTURE IN PERSON- AND PEOPLE-CENTERED HEALTH CARE
Authors: Van Staden Werdie
Published: September 2022

Background: Person- and people-centered medicine (PCM) underscores the importance of accounting for culture and cultural values.

Objective: The objective of this article is to clarify the concept of culture and describe misleading or faulty ways of understanding this concept in averting blind-spots for culture in person- and people-centered health care.

Method: Drawing on the conceptualization of PCM, the philosophy of values, values-based Practice, and principles of anthropology, misleading or faulty ways of understanding the concept of culture are identified by meeting criteria of conflation, confusing contingency as if necessity, being too narrow, or contracting blind-spots.

Results: Six ways of understanding the concept of culture are identified that may undermine person-centered practice. These may be corrected by understanding culture as necessarily constituted by a set of shared practices underpinned by values. So understood, this clarifies the distinction between culture and group identity, and that: subcultures and counter-cultures are proper cultures; symbols, language, and geographic locality are contingent qualities of culture; culture is subject to change and not fixed by history or an individual’s group identity; and that culture is readily ascribed to others/foreigners owing to blind-spots for one’s own culture.

Conclusion: By averting too narrow an understanding of culture and overcoming one’s blind-spot for one’s own cultural values, the clinician may recognize and account for culture and cultural values in person-centered health care. When the differences in cultural values bring about conflict or potential alienation in the interpersonal relationship, the differences need to be subjected practically to a process of dissensual decision-making, accounting for the uncommon ground within a safe space created by common ground and consensus.
SPIRITUALITY AND PERSON-CENTERED HEALTH CARE
Authors: Cox John
Published: September 2022

This paper proposes that the adoption of a Biosocial/Psychospiritual model, and a relational Body/Mind/Spirit approach (RBMS) to health care delivery will encourage increased awareness of the contribution of religious belief and spiritual Practice to health care provision. Problems of definition are outlined. The writings of Paul Tournier and in particular his concept of Medécine de la Personne (Healing of Persons) are considered and the educational challenges of these approaches briefly outlined.
EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION
Authors: Van Staden Werdie
Published: September 2022

Articles of this issue in the International Journal of Person Centered Medicine are getting to the person in enlightening and somewhat surprising ways. The first article compares various diagnostic classifications, which may seem like an unlikely way of getting to the person considering that a diagnostic classifications may do the contrary and invoke distance between the clinician and the patient. But contrastingly, the first article shows that this depends on which specific classification one uses. The second article highlights that we should measure social harmony, which is an aspect of subjective well-being that is undoubtedly part and parcel of well-being but somewhat surprisingly has been neglected in quantitative personality and well-being research. The third article reports the challenges of values complexity in planning the discharging of older people from hospital and obtaining further care. Finding values complexity in this context may be expected but the emergence of this is somewhat surprising considering that the perspectives of not the older persons but merely one of the role-players (these are, nursing personnel) were analyzed qualitatively. The fourth article considers digital technologies that are set to open up new and surprising horizons for person- and people-centered health care, which are unfolding as we speak.
EMPIRICAL COMPARISON OF ICD-10, DSM-IV, K-SADS, AND IGDA IN CHILD PSYCHIATRY CLINICAL PRACTICE
Authors: Ortega dos Santos Diego AH , Kesrouani Gazzola Rosana , Valler Celeri Eloisa HR , Banzato Claudio EM
Published: September 2022

Background: Diagnostic systems and guidelines remain crucial in psychiatric practice regardless of their limitations. However, some models fall short in considering the narrative or idiographic dimension of problems brought by patients, which often deepens the distance between diagnosis and clinical decision-making while also emphasizing the disorder and not the individual. Treatment and intervention are strongly related to values, goals and skills, which are only elicited through a person-centered approach and attention to narratives. This broad context is particularly relevant in child psychiatry, where disorders have a strong developmental dimension, and several sources of information are necessary to formulate a diagnosis properly. 

Objectives: To compare diagnostic systems in child psychiatry case formulation, discussing the narrative dimension in the IGDA. 

Method: Ten school-aged children and their parents were interviewed in-depth. Each case diagnosis was formulated according to the directives in DSM-IV, ICD-10, K-SADS-PL, and IGDA. 

Results: The narrative dimension in IGDA brought up unique characteristics of each case that facilitate decision-making, acknowledging the patient’s positive aspects that may be relevant to treatment and recovery. 

Discussion and Conclusions: The narrative dimension of diagnostic formulations, alongside the categorial one, is likely to be helpful in a person-centered psychiatric practice, and child psychiatry may benefit greatly.
NURSES’ CONCEPTIONS OF OLDER PEOPLE’S PARTICIPATION IN COORDINATED DISCHARGE CARE PLANNING
Authors: Sällström Christina , Johansson Inger
Published: September 2022

The discharge care planning (DCP) from hospital to home care is a complex and challenging assignment. Patient participation includes their access to health care, their rights to safe care, information about risks and benefits of treatment and the right to complain. The aim of the study was to explore nurses’ conceptions of older people’s participation in DCP and to identify the structure of awareness underlying the nurses’ varying experiences of participation. Fifteen registered nurses were interviewed. A phenomenographic analysis described by Åkerlind was used. The analysis revealed five categories of description showing different ways of experiencing older people’s participation in DCP. Four themes of Expanding awareness were identified as; Taking on the role of patient advocacy; Ethical responsibilities to protect older people’s self-esteem; Being restricted in what to communicate and perform and Necessity to conspire in defending active participation. The outcome space showed nurses’ conceptions to be that older people’s participation is prerequisite and it needs to be well founded. It also showed that nurses understood and took on ethical responsibilities to protect older people’s self-esteem. Our findings have outlined the complexity in the process of discharge planning, and consider the older patients’ active participation in decisions. Nurses have a key role in supporting older people and their family members in the process.
Why Women are not in The Live Poker Room and The Evidence on How This Could Change
Authors: Ogilvie Kristie , Altman Michael , Choi Yunsik
Published: September 2022

A disproportional number of women who play poker can be found in the live poker room.  Despite the interest of casinos to draw more women to poker, the strategies implemented to increase interest and participation in poker tournaments for women has not improved turnout.  This is the second phase of an exploratory study to examine industry barriers for women in poker.  A survey was administered in which 309 poker players were questioned as to their poker habits, 35% female, 55% male. This study reveals key findings that are statistically significant as women have key factors that vary their experiences to men, which has little coverage in previous academic studies. Key findings include; (1) Women are more likely to play tournament style games that range from $100-$499 buy in levels than men, (2) Women are more likely to experience intimidation in the live poker room and of all poker players who experience negative experiences (intimidation, bullying, theft, etc.), women are more likely to feel the issue was NOT resolved to their satisfaction.  This secondary study furthers the initial exploratory study and will provide implications for growth to this key segment of the $40 billion-dollar industry.
A Multilevel Mixed Effects Model to Evaluate Effectiveness of Treatment for Problem Gambling
Authors: Pérez Levi , Rodríguez Ana , Shmarev Andrey
Published: September 2022

Problem gambling treatment is a challenging present-day topic. This paper proposes an empirical model for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment for problem gambling using a sample of problem gamblers treated by a set of Spanish associations dedicated to gambling addiction issues. Data consists of multiple levels of nested groups (individuals and problem gambling recovery centres). A multi-level, mixed-effects logistic regression is used which permits controlling for unobserved heterogeneity across different problem gambling associations. The results seem to indicate that individual aspects such as age, family history, marital status or work situation, but also behavioural factors (previous dropouts, relapses during treatment, or consumption of other substances) are found to affect the effectiveness of treatment for gambling disorders. The analysis of the predictors for treatment efficacy may help treatment techniques to be adapted depending on the characteristics of individual patients and to evaluate programmes designed by treatment centres.
Quem se calar quando eu me calei não poderá morrer, sem dizer tudo.
Authors: Duarte Lélia Parreira
Published: September 2022

Relembra-se aqui a chegada ao Brasil do Levantado do chão, as primeiras análises do romance e a evolução de suas personagens que, inicialmente sem voz, desvalidas e “esquecidas”, tornam-se capazes de um discurso próprio e chegam a líderes de uma revolução transformadora. Focalizam-se também algumas personagens femininas de outros romances do autor, buscando demonstrar o seu especial carinho pelas mulheres fortes de quem ele afirma ter sido criador, mas também criatura. Estuda-se ainda na obra saramaguiana a questão da religião, para concluir ser o autor um estranho comunista que é pessimista e um surpreendente ateu que é religioso: na verdade um grande humanista, sempre preocupado com uma enunciação dialógica problematizadora, capaz de testemunhar o sofrimento e as manobras do poder.
As Intermitências da morte:
Authors: Silva Jr Augusto Rodrigues , Paula Neto Marcos Eustáquio de , Rabelo Sara Gonçalves
Published: September 2022

Analisamos a obra As intermitências da morte (2005), de José Saramago, articulando duas arenas estruturais da prosa: a da coletividade, explorada na primeira parte do livro, e os dramas humanos e amorosos vividos pelo violoncelista e pela morte “mulherificada”. A escrita de morte – tanatografia (SILVA JUNIOR, 2014) – viabiliza a verificação de tais elementos enquanto motores de um debate que atravessa política e filosofia, sistemas e condições humanas. Conforme é revelado nas arenas públicas e nas alcovas saramaguianas, discussões sobre o humano, a arte e o amor movimentam-se nessa profunda consciência de que ninguém disse a última palavra. Em interação com as categorias da alteridade e do inacabamento (BAKHTIN, 2006), o engajamento de Saramago compreende o caráter “desalienante” instigado pelas pulsões amorosas e pensamentais dessa novela filosófica das paixões como atividades essenciais (MARX, 2005). Das reverberações marxistas o caréter objetivo da história do humano foi afirmado e transformado. As intermitências da morte são marcadas e demarcadas pela expressão “no dia seguinte ninguém morreu” (SARAMAGO, 2005): nela, é a falta que alguém sente que leva ao outro e o caráter da história ganha camadas dialógicas e filosóficas. Se a sociedade é a soma de todos os seus relacionamentos e todos os sentidos encontram sentido no ter, no encontro com o outro constitui-se a consciência da metamorfose. Nesse sentido, José Saramago encontra na tanatografia que ama a verdadeira outra área do conhecimento – o amor.

Mensch und KI in der Science-Fiction. Filmethische Überlegungen
Authors: Bohrmann Thomas
Published: September 2022

Filme erzählen Geschichten über Moral und Unmoral und beteiligen sich am gesellschaftlichen Diskurs über aktuelle

Themen. Besonders der Science-Fiction-Film präsentiert Motive, die

gegenwärtig die Menschheit bewegen und projiziert sie in eine imaginäre Zukunft. Obwohl Filme nicht prophetisch in die Zukunft blicken

können, bieten sie Diskussionsstoff, um auf zukünftige Probleme

aufmerksam zu machen. Eines der häufig wiederkehrenden Themen

der Science-Fiction ist die künstliche Intelligenz, die im Film sowohl

als körpergebundene KI (humanoide Roboter) als auch als körperlose KI

(mächtige Computersysteme) zum Ausdruck kommt. Auch wenn der

Science-Fiction-Film keine Prognose über die Zukunft der menschlichen Entwicklung geben kann, thematisieren die audiovisuellen

Geschichten Technikkritik und Zukunftsängste und plädieren für

einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit ihr.

Symbole als „Verkehrsleitsysteme“. Ein Blick auf Masken, Illusionen und Wirklichkeiten in der Corona-Pandemie
Authors: Jäckel Michael
Published: September 2022

Bilder, Filme, Augenblicke – die Corona-Pandemie hat nicht nur durch die mediale Berichterstattung permanent neue Lebensbedingungen und neue Räume konstruiert. Was heißt das für menschliches Leben und Erleben? Der vorliegende Essay geht deshalb auf die Macht der Symbole und ihre Wirkung als Leitsysteme der Gesellschaft ein. Es zeigt sich, dass Symbole und Symbolik praktischen Nutzen vor allem in Krisen darstellen, und jede Krise auch positive Signale liefert. Die Herausforderung besteht darin, eben jene zu erkennen und in die Zeit nach der Krise zu überführen.
Kommunikation als Selbstvergewisserung. Interessenvertretung für die Evangelische Allianz in Deutschland

Published: September 2022

Glaube braucht Kommunikation und Interaktion. Dafür steht auch die Evangelische Allianz (EA). Sie ist keine Kirche, sondern eine Basisbewegung. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht näher auf die Ziele und kommunikativen Strukturen ein und fragt, wie sich Glaubenskommunikation im politischen Umfeld der Gegenwart wandelt und welche Perspektiven daraus abgeleitet werden können. Dabei zeigt sich auch: Glaubenskommunikation ist und muss politisch sein, auch wenn dabei neue Herausforderungen entstehen.
Populistische Scheinriesen, populistisches Schein-rising
Authors: Bitschnau Marco
Published: September 2022

Auch mehr als fünf Jahre nach dem Höhepunkt der letzten populistischen Welle werden Fachwelt und Feuilleton nicht müde, die inzwischen zum Gemeinplatz erstarrte Erzählung vom rise of populism mit stetig neuem Besorgnismaterial auszukleiden. Ausgehend von der so originellen wie sinnigen Populismuskritik David Arts wirft der vorliegende Beitrag ein fragendes Schlaglicht auf drei mit dieser Erzählung essentiell verbundenen Sachkomplexe: (1) Die Annahme, dass Populismus wirklich das brauchbarste Konzept ist, um die so rubrizierten Akteure analytisch zu fassen; (2) die Annahme, dass deren Wirken Teil eines transnationalen bis transkontinentalen Großprojekts sei, dass also mithin nur verschiedene Varianten eines gemeinsamen Clamors vorliegen; und schließlich auch (3) die titelgebende Annahme vom rise als einem unidirektionalen Siegeszug populistischer Kräfte in Europa und der Welt.
Von Haar-Razzien, Polit-Pornographen und freislerischen Eisenfressern: Die Auseinandersetzung der deutschen Presse mit der griechischen Militärdiktatur (1967–1974)
Authors: Schunk Hans Peter
Published: September 2022

Der Aufsatz analysiert die intensive mediale Auseinandersetzung mit der griechischen Militärdiktatur. Durch permanente Berichterstattung sollten Bespitzelungen, Ausgrenzungen und Folterungen nicht aus der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung verschwinden. Es wird dabei gezeigt, dass die Medienlandschaft als »Vierte Gewalt« nicht bei der Deskription beließ, sondern vielmehr das Kalkül verfolgte, Einfluss auf die bilateralen Beziehungen zu nehmen - nicht ohne Erfolg. Die Berichterstattung erstreckte sich dabei auch auf gesellschaftliche Diskurse der damaligen Zeit, wie etwa die Debatte um die Notstandsgesetze. Überdies zeigt die Medienanalyse, dass die Erinnerungskultur der »68er-Bewegung« um den Protest gegenüber Griechenland, der einer ihrer konstitutiven Bestandteile war, ergänzt werden muss. Der Aufsatz legt einen Grundstein für ein noch weiter zu erforschendes Themenfeld deutsch-griechischer Erinnerung an die Zeit der Militärdiktatur.
Die Europäische Union als Binnenraum der Sicherheit im Spannungsfeld zwischen (Grund-)Freiheiten der Unionsbürger und deren (Grund-)Recht auf Sicherheit
Authors: Heger Martin
Published: September 2022

The European Union (EU) constitutes an area of freedom, security and justice in which the citizens of the Union are to be guaranteed freedom of movement without internal borders. At the same time, it is emphasised that the prevention and combating of crime and thus internal security are also of great importance. A look at the provisions in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as well as the secondary legislation enacted by the Union shows, of course, a primacy of security over freedom. However, although Art. 6 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights grants a right to liberty and security, and the European Court of Justice has also derived a fundamental right to security from this, such a fundamental right is not to be recognised either in the member states or in the Union. On the other hand, security considerations justify encroachments on the freedoms of Union citizens, in particular insofar as the exercise of freedom is thereby secured.

Integrationists, Critical Europeanists and Pessimist Europeanists: EU attitudes among students in a German university
Authors: Teney Céline , Deininger Juan , Zurheide Josefine
Published: September 2022

We investigate attitudes toward the EU of a sample of students enrolled in a German university by using a mixed-methods data design. We conducted an online survey among students at the University of Göttingen (N=730) and asked them closed questions on the EU enlargement, the allocation of authority at the EU level, the way democracy works at the EU level, and an open question on their wish for the future of the EU. We then ran a latent class analysis of the recoded answer categories from the open question and of our set of closed questions. Our three-class solution highlights variation in support for the EU among students. Indeed, while the vast majority of the respondents take highly supportive attitudes towards the EU, we can distinguish between ‘Integrationists’ (in favour of pursuing the EU integration project; 68% of the sample), ‘Critical Europeanists’ (supportive of the EU but dissatisfied with the way democracy works at the EU level; 20.50% of the sample) and ‘Pessimist Europeanists’ (supportive of the EU but afraid of the implosion of the EU; 11% of the sample). Our study highlights the importance of the use of non-standardised measures and mixed-methods data collection for understanding citizens’ attitudes towards the EU in a more nuanced way.
Mobility policy as pandemic policy. The Schengen regime in the Corona crisis.
Authors: Vobruba Georg
Published: September 2022

During the Corona-pandemic, restricting mobility became an important means of pandemic policy. Within the European Union, this resulted in stress for the Schengen area. The essay deals with the question of how the Schengen system coped with pandemic policy and argues that the exceptions from the basic rule of free movement provided the Schengen system with the flexibility necessary to survive the pandemic. Elaborating on this thesis, the paper explores some important changes the EU-borders are likely to undergo due to the pandemic.
COVID-19 related social media use and attitudes towards pandemic control measures in Europe
Authors: Verbalyte Monika , Eigmüller Monika
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we explore how the public sphere in Europe changed in the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., under conditions of extensive social isolation and limited physical contact opportunities. Using data from the Eurobarometer from 2020 and 2021, we show what role digital and social media in particular played in the pandemic. In doing so, we pursue the question of what significance these media had for attitudes towards issues of pandemic control and thus also for emerging social conflicts in the context of the pandemic.
The modern military leader as sensemaker on the battlefield
Authors: Ntusi Ntobeko
Published: September 2022

The study on which this article reports, addressed the problem with which modern military leaders on the battlefield are faced in assisting the soldier at basic level to make sense of what is happening. In this study, the term ‘sensemaker’ implied a process of individual and group sensemaking that forms the basis for meaning-making in the volatile, unpredictable, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world within which soldiers are functioning. The authors postulate a best-fit world view for military leaders in this military leadership sensemaking and meaning-making nexus. They coined ‘social constructivism in complexity’ where the military leader acts as a guide for soldiers through a sensemaking process. This process is graphically represented, and requires a toolkit to assist military leaders in working as sensemakers on the battlefield. The article concludes with recommendations to military psychologists and military educators who have to make policy changes to develop and implement such a toolkit for sensemaking on the battlefield.
Military Psychology: Time to embrace a front-line diplomatic role
Authors: Gouws Jacques
Published: September 2022

The weapon systems created for the purpose of fighting the enemy in World War I caused terrible losses of human life on all sides of the conflict. However, World War I was also the event that gave birth to what became the field of Military Psychology. This position article, briefly tracing the development of the field, encourages the development of an expanded scope for this sub-discipline of Psychology. In its infancy, the role of Military Psychology was the selection and placement of soldiers based on a series of cognitive tests. After World War II, the scope of Military Psychology quickly expanded exponentially into areas such as leadership development, psychological warfare, and the enhancement of morale, motivation, resilience, and human , as Military Psychology with its sub-disciplines became integrated into national military forces to enhance the capabilities of the modern fighting soldier psychologically, physically and technologically. As the discipline matured, its present role can be described as to create soldiers whose skills sets greatly surpass those of their predecessors in meeting the ever-increasing complex demands of the modern battlefield. In recent years, Afghanistan and Iraq that conventional warfare tactics are rendered all but obsolete by small numbers of militia fighters with improvised devices and even outdated weapons in a demonstration of human ingenuity trumping advanced technology and well-equipped, superior military forces that inevitably failed dismally to subdue insurgent opposition forces. Even the destruction of the forces serves to emphasise that the world can no longer afford to continue armed conflict as a means to settle territorial and international disagreements because these eventually become the rationalisation for ongoing, unnecessary conflict. In its contribution to the defence role, alternatives to engagement in ill-advised military options must involve the strategic deployment of Military Psychology in a front-line capacity to research, comprehend and then, through diplomatic means, counter the psychological and ideological factors at play in creating the world’s current conflict areas. If not, an even greater catastrophe will arise from ongoing ill-informed, ideology-driven international military interventions around the world.

Authors: Samandari Hanieh , Jalilian Khave Laya , Janani Majid , Farazmand Shirin , Motafavi Saeedeh S. , Gholami Jaleh , Rawson Richard A. , Noroozi Alireza
Published: September 2022

Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with high burdens for countries. It has been shown that the integration of SUD services into primary health care (PHC) can improve the early identification and treatment of people with SUDs. However, there are many barriers, including negative attitudes of health professionals about SUDs contributing to suboptimal care. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a training program on physicians’ attitudes toward providing SUD services in PHC. Methods: Physicians working in community health centers (CHCs) of Khorasan-e-Razavi Province in Iran were purposefully recruited to participate in a 10-hour in-person training program providing education on understanding the nature of SUDs, basic communication skills, motivational interviewing, and evidence-based SUDs interventions between October and December 2018. Knowledge and attitudes of participants were measured before and after training workshops. Results: The knowledge of physicians was significantly increased after completion of training. Moreover, participants’ attitudes toward the integration of SUD services into PHC significantly improved from 96.23 ± 0.90 to 109.22 ± 0.60 at the end of the workshop. In the multivariable linear regression, previous SUDs’ training experiences, being female, and years of work experience in PHC were significantly associated with more favorable attitudinal changes among the participants. Conclusions: Our results suggest the effectiveness of the training intervention in improving the attitudes toward SUD services among PHC physicians in Iran. Further controlled studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness of training on the attitudes of PHC professionals in the long term and its role in their practice.
Protecting The Privacy of Library Users
Authors: Pedley Paul
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this paper is to consider the best way of understanding the concept of informational privacy, including a discussion of what would be an appropriate theoretical framework and useful conceptual model; as well as how such a model can be used to investigate specific issues of library privacy.Two methodologies were used for the research: a literature review, and a thematic analysis of three pieces of data protection legislation. The research project is still in its relatively early stages, and the intention is to use several other methodologies to test the initial findings.Informational privacy is a derivative layer of other forms of privacy, and as such can only be properly understood in relation to each of the underlying privacy types. Where libraries rely for the delivery of their services on digital technologies provided by external vendors, they need to better understand whether and how those technologies impact upon each of the different types of privacy identified by (Koops et al. 2017).Using three pieces of data protection legislation to identify key themes does not give a complete picture of informational privacy; nor does it fully address the wider privacy implications. A detailed review of relevant case law on privacy from the European Court of Human Rights was not undertaken as part of this project. The choice of words and phrases appearing in data protection legislation and the subsequent grouping of them into broad themes is subjective.The observation that all library privacy scenarios have an informational privacy component alongside one or more privacy types has significant implications for information professionals intending to protect the privacy of their users; because, if correct, it means that simply complying with data protection laws does not fully address the protection of the underlying privacy types.
“If You Ask Me” Op-Ed: Censorship from the Left
Authors: Holley Robert
Published: September 2022

After many years of encountering censorship from conservative sources on the right, I have concerns about similar efforts from the liberal left. Most of this censorship does not currently affect items in library collections. The major effect to date has been to suppress public speech as well as the publication of materials that could be appropriate purchases for libraries. I will say at the outset that I’m radically opposed to censorship of all kinds and support discourse from all positions within the American political and cultural spectrum, even and especially those that don’t support my personal beliefs.

An Exploratory Quantitative Analysis of Academic Library Services: Approaches to Compare Performance Based Metrics
Authors: Crawford Gregory A. , McGuigan Glenn S.
Published: September 2022

This exploratory study addresses performance measurement in academic libraries by using selected measures provided by academic libraries to national surveys. For comparative purposes, the authors suggest the use of a total service index and various cost measurements as determined by enrollment and by library use. The statistical analyses of academic library data presented in this study may be helpful in initiating a discussion regarding the costs of using an academic library and how this information could be used for various purposes such as benchmarking or requesting additional funds to support library services.

Why Market? Reflections of an Academic Library Administrator
Authors: Sarjeant-Jenkins Rachel
Published: September 2022

Purpose

The paper looks at the assumption that the captive audience of students and faculty lessens the need to market the academic library. The paper highlights the challenges experienced by academic libraries and discusses the vital importance of focusing library marketing and services on the needs of the clients rather than the needs of the library itself.

Findings

Academic libraries are affected by many of the same issues found in public and special libraries, particularly changing information access and distribution models and budget restrictions, resulting in the need to market library services to clients. Academic libraries need to ensure that library marketing focuses on client needs.
Recruitment of Employees in Academic Libraries: Advice from the HR Perspective
Authors: Defa Dennis R.
Published: September 2022

Top performing competitive organizations, including Academic Libraries have a number of traits in common. Among these is a “library culture” that empowers people and gives them the freedom to make decisions and act; establish strong, meaningful values; supports and develops a shared identify and sense of community. The Academic Library that includes these traits will attract exceptional people with an attitude of accomplishment who fit the culture. These individuals are engaged and involved in the workforce and help create a safe and secure environment that allows people to do their best work.

The first step in either becoming a top performing, competitive organization or to remain one is to review and update the recruiting and hiring practices. Academic Libraries are no exception as they struggle to compete in today’s ever changing market place. Many libraries are losing their top candidates and limiting their ability to become innovative, trend-setting organizations. Traditionally conservative and risk averse in their hiring practices, many Academic Libraries keep positions open for long periods losing top candidates and limiting the quality of their internal talent. To remain, or become, competitive, Academic Libraries need to look internally to their own organizational lethargy to reassess and improve their recruitment structures.

Because Academic Libraries are part of the larger college or university environment they need to understand the role of the central Human Resource (HR) function in institutional recruitment and create opportunities to have more control over library recruitment. HR needs to be an ally not a hindrance in this process. Academic Libraries must also look externally to embrace new technologies and innovative recruitment concepts from other industries and modern human resource management to identify and attract the candidates that improve their operation.

Graphic Novels: A Brief History and Overview for Library Managers
Authors: Pinkley Janet , Casey Kaela
Published: September 2022

Graphic novels have long fought to gain literary recognition; however, as the struggle has unfolded, graphic novels have not only achieved this, but have also been recognized for their uses and applications within other disciplines as well. These books have overcome the medium’s criticisms of violence, sexual situations, and stereotypes of male power, and have earned their place in our society, and in libraries. As more libraries, both public and academic, integrate graphic novels into their collections, the potential for criticism and censorship attempts increases. Graphic novels deserve the same recognition and consideration for inclusion in libraries as other literary formats; therefore, library managers must have a basic understanding of the format in order to defend their inclusion in collections to critics.
External Reviews within the Context of the Library Faculty Promotion and Tenure Process
Authors: Clemons Angel , Goldberg Tyler
Published: September 2022

External reviews are part of the promotion and tenure process for faculty at many institutions of higher education. The authors examined external review writing within the academic library faculty promotion and tenure process by surveying 1849 librarians at 166 libraries. Librarians were asked to respond to quantitative and qualitative survey questions on several aspects of the external review process: participation in the process, qualifying as an external reviewer, the writing process, and demographics. The authors received 379 responses. Survey results provide information from the perspective of librarians who write external reviews, and show similarities with external reviewers in other disciplines.

Thriving in the New Normal: Strategies for Managing the Scarcity Mindset
Authors: Fifarek Aimee
Published: September 2022

The scarcity brought about by the economic downturn has significantly and negatively impacted Libraries' abilities to adapt to change. A key component of this is our staff’s ability to cope with increased demands and subsequent stress while still finding their work meaningful on a professional level. This article will make the distinction between resource scarcity - an economic issue - and the mindset that resource scarcity creates. It will conclude with strategies for helping staff and library leaders to manage this scarcity mindset, lowering workplace stress while improving overall organizational health.
Are Disaster and Emergency Plans Truly Complete?
Authors: Newman Dunstan , Newman Nadine
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance or template to libraries and also other different types of institutions as to how they can complete, update or write their disaster and emergency manuals to include a section which specifically addresses roles, duties and responsibilities (RDRs). This research shares valuable information as writing RDRs can be challenging and time consuming.
The findings indicate that most disaster and emergency manuals are incomplete if RDRs are not included and this was evident from the vast number of documents and literature reviewed. Success in any attempt to have a complete disaster and emergency management process would require a section that focuses specifically on RDRs as this allows for better preparedness, training and continuity planning.
This paper provides practical guidance as it is relevant when completing, updating or writing disaster and emergency manuals irrespective of the type of institution. This paper contains new/additional information from a number of sources into one about the RDRs for members of a disaster committee in varying institutions.

The Evolving Research Library: Responsive Organizational Change
Authors: Stockham Marcia G , Haddock Michael J. , Goetsch Lori A.
Published: September 2022

Because of the pace of change in library environments, the organization is continuously evolving and the days of having a structure etched in stone are gone. Kansas State University Libraries engaged in a major organizational restructuring in 2009-2010 and, based on studies and assessments, two smaller but significant changes again in 2015. To assess and redesign the organization, analysis of new and emerging work, staff resources, budget, and space were critical, but the important constant was library users and meeting their needs. This article outlines development of the structural reorganizations, issues encountered during the changes, examples of task force work, lessons learned about process and outcomes, and resulting changes that were made.

Strategic Planning: “Magic-Bullet” or Sleight of Hand
Authors: Mabe Michael R.
Published: September 2022

Many organizations outsource their strategic planning process to a consultant because they believe that a fresh set of eyes will identify an overlooked ‘magic-bullet’ solution to their perennial problems. Unfortunately, this type of uninformed approach leads to organizational confusion and disappointment once the consultant is paid and the final document delivered. No doubt, a consultant can provide fresh solutions to perennial problems. Strategic planning success in any organization is dependent on leadership’s knowledge of management practices, including strategic planning and not just on the one time contributions of an unattached professional strategic plan that can sometime feel like a sleight-of-hand trick. Mature knowledge of how management is practiced coupled with a responsible understanding of the entire strategic planning process will prepare an organization and its leader to effectively incorporate strategic planning recommendations from an internal approach or successfully collaborate with an external consultant in an outsourced approach.
