Title: Librarianship Cooperation in the Field of Rare and Ancient Book, New Opportunities for the Padua University Libraries System
Authors: Buson, Luisa
Abstract: Cooperation has a long tradition in the working attitude of librarians. During the past 100 years words as collaboration, co-operation, resource- sharing have crossed and influenced all the main activities in the libraries.
One of the oldest traditions in library cooperation has been the sharing of bibliographic information. Technology became the dominant factor in the design of cooperative systems for the acquisition, control and mobility of materials (OCLC, RLG).
In the last years the main incentives to cooperate seem to be the rising material costs, and the proliferation of materials to purchase.
A recent re-organization of the Padua University Libraries System (PULS) in 11 “Poli” offered the opportunity to establish an “Ancient and Special Collection Polo” with a coordinator (the researcher) and a small team of librarians managing the ancient and rare collections scattered in 50 libraries.
Furthemore during the last 10 years formal relationships have been established with all others libraries of the city, almost all very rich in rare and ancient books. Nowadays they all share the same OPAC and some facilities in the ILL domain.
In this context and in field of rare books and special collections, next step will be a mid-term planning of new activities, where cooperation should be one of the cornerstone.
The rationale for selecting this particular problem is the researcher’s main working activity as coordinator of the Ancient and special Collection Polo in Padua University Libraries System and her commitment in planning future activities and the development of this particular Polo.
To this end the project will provide information to allow the top management to develop a strategical, specific mid-term plan in the general context of the PULS.2004-01-01T00:00:00ZPerceptions of Information Literacy in Italian University: A Case Study

Title: Perceptions of Information Literacy in Italian University: A Case Study
Authors: Marzocchi, Stefania
Abstract: The proposed research will be multi-perspectival analysis of the existing perceptions towards information literacy (IL) in Italian university: a case study based on a small number of cases, focused at the University of Bologna, Faculty of Political Sciences and International Relations, Course of Middle East Studies.
In particular, the research will provide an insight of the relationship that information literacy can create into the university environment: the triangle formed by librarians, students and teachers. Each group of people at a corner of this triangle has its own expectations, visions and perceptions about what information literacy skills are or should be. Do these expectations, visions and perceptions coincide?2006-01-01T00:00:00ZChildren, Libraries and Multimedia Resources in Italy: A Fact or a Possible Future?

Title: Children, Libraries and Multimedia Resources in Italy: A Fact or a Possible Future?
Authors: Favalli, Lara
Abstract: The literature which was found mainly concerned CD-Roms, website and Internet services to young users (usually, in the age range of 8-14): a gap in the literature was observed with regard to the role and opinions of library staff on presence and use of electronic resources in children’s libraries.
Two research fields could be identified:
1.to analyse and to evaluate how the professional literature deals with electronic services and resources to children;2.to explore the resources offered by children’s libraries and the extent of the service and level of its funding support.
An aspect you don’t have to forget is ergonomics: if we, as librarians, know the importance of encouraging children to use computers (Guidelines for children’s services), it’s important to remember that most workstations are built with adults in mind and that, for a child to use the computer in a comfortable way, adjustments need to be made.
In addition, it would be interesting to make a survey of Italian web sites for children: to identify who their developers are and how and how many times libraries are quoted.2002-01-01T00:00:00ZConsumer complaint behavior (CCB)

Title: Consumer complaint behavior (CCB)
Authors: Butelli, Sergio
Abstract: During a period of around forty years, the research on CCB has developed several models in order to explain the basic mechanisms of the complaint behavior and to identify the numerous and heterogeneous variables involved. Despite some differences, due mainly to the extreme complexity of the subject, the proposed models offer some common features. Gradually, the research on CCB has focused on testing these models in particular geographical and cultural area, considering a singular aspect of the market structure or in relation to specific services and products, libraries included. However, the general framework of CCB seems to be
generally accepted. This does not mean that the research on CCB is static and without evolution.2007-09-06T00:00:00Z
