E-books: selecting, work flows, and discovering

For many libraries e-books are now the preferred format in a wide variety of subject areas. In some cases, it is still a challenge to streamline their selection and acquisition since e-books and print books are rarely released simultaneously and there is typically scant information available on forthcoming e-books. In this session, Emily Asch from Saint Catherine University, and David Farrow from Coutts Information Services will talk about strategies for managing e-book acquisitions. Topics discussed will include a review of available purchasing models for individual libraries and consortia, coordinating print and e-book coverage, creating efficient work flows, and making e-books easily discoverable

Sports Science Roundtable: Does Sports Science Research Influence Practice?

As sports scientists, we claim to make a signifi cant contribution to the body of knowledge that infl uences athletic practice and performance. Is this the reality? At the inaugural congress of the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science, a panel of well-credentialed academic experts with experience in the applied environment debated the question, Does sports-science research influence practice? The fi rst task was to defi ne “sports-science research,” and it was generally agreed that it is concerned with providing evidence that improves sports performance. When practices are equally effective, sports scientists also have a role in identifying practices that are safer, more time effi cient, and more enjoyable. There were varying views on the need for sports-science research to be immediately relevant to coaches or athletes. Most agreed on the importance of communicating the results of sports-science research, not only to the academic community but also to coaches and athletes, and the need to encourage both short- and long-term research. The panelists then listed examples of sports-science research that they believe have infl uenced practice, as well as strategies to ensure that sports-science research better infl uences practice
