La mise en oeuvre interculturelle de LibQUAL+MC : le cas du français
Traduit de l'anglais par Jimmy LĂ©garĂ© et Olivier Paradis (Direction des bibliothĂšques de l'UdeM).Cet article prĂ©sente une analyse contextuelle des problĂšmes interculturels et linguistiques de traduction reliĂ©s Ă la version française du questionnaire LibQUAL+MC, tel quâutilisĂ© dans des bibliothĂšques canadiennes Ă lâautomne 2003. On rĂ©pond par lâaffirmative Ă la question de recherche qui consiste Ă dĂ©terminer si le processus de traduction française a produit des rĂ©sultats Ă©quivalents aux versions anglaises du questionnaire. Les dimensions de lâoutil LibQUAL+MC utilisĂ©es pour mesurer la qualitĂ© des services sont validĂ©es par une analyse factorielle et une analyse de fidĂ©litĂ© des donnĂ©es recueillies par la participation de lâUniversitĂ© Laval et de lâUniversitĂ© dâOttawa. Un questionnaire comportant trois dimensions ressort de ce processus, câest-Ă -dire les dimensions de bibliothĂšque en tant que lieu, de soutien du personnel et de contrĂŽle informationnel. Le processus de validation assure que les versions du questionnaire sont culturellement pertinentes dans la langue cible et Ă©quivalentes Ă lâoriginal sur le plan conceptuel, et ce processus garantit lâĂ©quivalence interculturelle de la version française. Lâimportance dâun cycle itĂ©ratif continu dâanalyse contextuelle est Ă©galement apparu comme une composante importante qui fournit lâassurance que LibQUAL+MC peut ĂȘtre appliquĂ© avec succĂšs Ă lâintĂ©rieur dâenvironnements diffĂ©rents

The future of academic publishing: application of the long-tail theory
Print academic journals are dead. As we watch large metropolitan newspapers fail (as are many small town newspapers), the same economic forces are driving online scholarly publishing. This phenomenon is more than print journals going online. The options available with new low-cost online publishing software and the rise in the ability to use ratings from user generated content suggest more near-term changes are likely. Many of the outcomes are unsettled: the economics of online publishing; the standards for peer review, rank, and tenure; and the very nature of scholarly publishing itself. What is certain, however, is that the economics of online academic publishingâmodeled via Andersonâs Long Tail Theoryâwill make it possible to provide greater access, more collaboration, and, ultimately, improved research and researchers. Universities acting as publishing centers with their e-reserves will be expected to change their faculty evaluations, providing greater academic rewards for those who act as editors, reviewers, and proofreaders within this new born-online and only-online world
