Critical Theory for Library and Information Science: Exploring the Social from Across the Disciplines By Gloria J. Leckie, Lisa M. Given, John E. Buschman

Publisher: Libraries Unlimited 2010 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 159158938X | PDF | 1 MB

Critical theory is present but relatively underdeveloped in the field of library and information science. The success of scholarly learning and information science as a whole depends on library specialists who understand the value of applying critical theoretical perspectives to real-world challenges.

The practical application of library and information science is based upon 75 years of critical theory and thought. Therefore, it is essential for students and faculty in LIS to be familiar with the work of a wide range of critical theorists. The aim of Critical Theory for Library and Information Science: Exploring the Social from Across the Disciplines is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the critical theorists important to the LIS audience, and to give insights into how such theory can be incorporated into actual LIS research and practice.

This book consists of chapters on individual critical theorists ranging from Aglietta to Habermas to Spivak, written by an international group of library and information science scholars. Each chapter provides an overview of the theoretical stance and contributions of the theorist, as well as relevant critical commentary. This book will be particularly valuable as a reference text of core readings for those pursuing doctoral or masters level degrees in LIS.

Fundamental of Research Methodology and Statistics by Yogesh Kumar Singh

Preface

The education system of India has covered a long distance from gurukul system to British Empire.

During this period it has faced so many social problems and it has tried to save their own traditions and

social system for the new generation as we are feeling now and observing their qualities to develop our

country, as we want. But we should not forget that present tradition system of education has their own

qualities due to these qualities and principles it has covered a long distance of his development, now it

is a part of the history. Here is a question that if we have our own history of education and research

than why we are carrying the British education system and research since independence? It is a very

mere question and we have to facing a lot of problems almost in every walk of life to find its answer.

An Indian citizen can simply answer that the field of education and research has also been pol1uted

with those significant problems, which are carrying by the Indian Education System and research

since 1947.

India has got the British system of Education having its own structure and functions in heritage

and a concerted effort has been made since, then to utilize that heritage in order to achieve comparable

results by democratic means; though we pledged in 1950 on the 26th day of January. We, the people of

India having solemnly resolved to constitute into a sovereign democratic republic and to secure to all

citizens; justice-social, economic and political liberty of thoughts, of status and opportunity and to

promote among them all, fraternity assuring dignity of the individual and the unity of Nation; in our

constituent assembly do hereby adopt, exact and give to ourselves this constitution.

Could we fulfill this pledge to this date? The answer is very big no. Neither we could maintain our

democratic ideals nor could we achieve justice, fraternity and liberty. Even we failed to unite our

nation–mentally, and physically, both. After analyzing the various factors we come to the conclusion

that it is all due to our faulty system of education and their wrong objectives directed by the our old

educationist. To help our county and society and also to achieve the desired goal of life, we should

understand and to create awareness about the research of our social system.

The goal of life is to get good and effective research based education for which we have need

good and effective education system. The present volume is a humble effort to present the research

problems of social sciences through their past history, as author has perceived.

Almost every social research aspect of social sciences and their problems are covered in this

book. The problems can be solved only if there are a large number of idealistic education and research

workers devoted to the cause. The author will be highly thankful if you will send your valuable suggestion

to up-grade the chapters of this book.

Researchers finally have a resource that focuses on the research question, providing them with a unique approach that will help in the field. Key Ideas sections presented in each chapter act as an organising mechanism and look at the big picture of that chapter. Many of the writing activities are open-ended questions that allow them to write questions or what they are thinking about the topic at that point. In-Text Activities ask them to write down what they are working on, such as a research question, review of literature, or potential sample. Case study examples are also integrated throughout to demonstrate how decisions are made and how they affect everything in a study. This enables researchers to create the most effective studies.

EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP & LEARNING

LAW | Open University Press | 2011-02-04 | 320 pages | English | PDF

Educational leaders - whether in schools, colleges or higher education - are challenged with steering unprecedented change; educational management has never been more demanding. Within the context of a new 'learning age' and the Teacher Training Agency's National Standards, this book explores many of the key issues facing those both aspiring to and already involved in leadership and management, whether at middle or senior levels. While focusing particularly on schools and colleges, this book evaluates issues increasingly central to leadership in a variety of professional educational settings, for example, school improvement, innovation, teamwork, organizational culture, professional development, motivation and the nature of leadership. In identifying key concepts, it scrutinizes possible management strategies within a changing policy context that is increasingly focused around standards, accountability and reputation. The book utilizes research evidence to illuminate the practices, challenges and problems facing educationists and endeavours to overcome the perceived gap between practice and research to create an integrated approach to leadership and management development: one which both supports and stimulates managers' professional development aspirations.

Data Protection for Library and Information Services
By Paul Ticher

Publisher: Routledge 2001 | 123 Pages | ISBN: 0851424678 | PDF | 1 MB

The 1998 Data Protection Act provides a framework for the way in which organisations should collect and process personal information. It has far-reaching implications for library and information managers who hold personal data on computer or on paper, or who may be called on to advise their colleagues. This practical guide explains the legal requirements and illustrates the issues with dozens of relevant and informative case-studies.

Developing Successful Leadership (Studies in Educational Leadership)

Research has shown that school leadership is second only to classroom teaching in its effect on pupil learning. As the demands on management teams become ever more complex, this volume offers a fresh and expansive view on the challenges to be met in developing a leadership career. With contributions from some of the most accomplished commentators on school leadership and management from around the world, this book moves away from the simple ‘how to’ of becoming a principal, focusing instead on the wider issues of becoming a successful leader. The central aim has been to assemble powerful statements from international authorities that encapsulate leading-edge thinking on a group of interconnected themes based on the notion of developing successful leadership in, and beyond, schools. In so doing the text examines strategies for existing leaders developing their full capacity as well as enhancing the skills of those new to, or aspiring to, a leadership role. The chapters contributed by a carefully selected group of leading educationalists present insights on a number of central themes, including: developing new skill sets in leadership, the ethical and moral dimensions of leading an organisation, Leadership for instructional and pedagogical success, developing leadership capacity and capability through strategic activity. Rather than taking a technical approach of how to undertake the managerial or administrative tasks, the authors seek instead to develop critical leadership perspectives and skills, with chapters on vitally important topics such as strategies for maximizing the potential of the leadership team as a whole. They draw not only upon the literature in the field of educational leadership but also a wider literature in the field of business and management. This diversity of perspective ensures this book’s appeal to a broad international readership.
