Abstract A research model grounded in social capital theory was tested to examine the influence of social media on the formation of social capital. Facets of social capital in cultivating knowledge sharing were hypothesized to have a relationship with routine and innovative job performance. The analysis uses a structural equation modeling to examine the behavior of 290 faculty members at one higher education institution in Kuwait. The results reveal that social media has a significant role in the formation of social capital. However, trust and shared vision were the only social capital facets that emerged as determinants of knowledge sharing. Knowledge sharing had an impact on innovative job performance.

Abstract This article intends to examine academic library resources and research support services for English teachers at higher education institutions. A sample of 318 English teachers from the public sector universities has been selected through the proportionate random sampling technique. A cross-sectional survey has been conducted to collect data using an attitudinal scale. The study findings of multiple regression confirm the prediction of research support services. It is concluded that academic library resources have favorable effects on research support services for English teachers at the public sector universities of the Punjab province.

Abstract The aim of this study was threefold: (i) to examine the prevalence and patterns of online HISB among laypeople in Jordan, (ii) to identify their types and reasons for seeking health information online, and (iii) to explore any differences in the identified types and reasons according to their characteristics. A cross-sectional study was carried out among general population in Jordan. Participants highly sought health information online. More than third sought the information several times a week. They sought information about symptoms, medication, and a disease or condition in order to be informed, because of noticing new symptoms, and for curiosity.

Denise A. Garofalo,
What Johnson et al. said in their IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) e-resource guide in 2012 is still relevant today: “E-resources present a number of challenges not encountered with the selection and acquisition of traditional analogue materials...” (p. 3). Maintaining the links that provide the pathway to the electronic content library users seek can become an overwhelming task if this duty is conducted solely by a library without the aid of an outside service or vendor. Lowry (2020) summed up the situation well: “Electronic resources require maintenance and troubleshooting over time to retain the ease of access for users” (p. 26). And it’s important to remember that the vendors that do provide the knowledgebases and resources to assist libraries in keeping these pathways to e-content open and operational must develop and maintain an infrastructure to successfully accomplish this feet. As Breeding noted in 2012 in his study about knowledgebases and link resolvers, “One of the fundamental observations of this study involves the tremendous resources it takes to create and maintain these e-content knowledge bases” (para. 7). The resources a vendor may have available to accomplish maintaining links for their e-resource knowledgebases can be very different from what a library has on staff or in budget to do the same feat, whether that library be small or large, public or academic, or other. Given the fiscal situation around the globe, many libraries are operating with much less staff than they had a few years ago. Yet what was said in 2007 is still valid today: “The ubiquity of electronic and networked information has changed their customers’ expectations for timely access to an ever wider variety of materials and services” (Barton et al., 2007, p. 46). Ensuring that our customers, our library users, have that timely access can seem like a crushing undertaking that just never ends—“For e-resource librarians, maintaining e-book and e-journal holdings within electronic resource management systems is a labor intensive and often manual process” (van Ballegooie, 2016, p. 135). How do you handle the maintenance of your e-resource links?
Johnson等人在2012年的IFLA(国际图书馆协会和机构联合会)电子资源指南中所说的话在今天仍然适用:“电子资源提出了许多传统模拟材料选择和获取所没有遇到的挑战……(第3页)。如果图书馆没有外部服务或供应商的帮助,只负责维护为图书馆用户寻找电子内容提供途径的链接,这将成为一项艰巨的任务。Lowry(2020)很好地总结了这种情况:“电子资源需要随着时间的推移进行维护和故障排除,以保持用户访问的便利性”(第26页)。重要的是要记住,那些提供知识库和资源来帮助图书馆保持这些通往电子内容的途径的开放和可操作性的供应商必须开发和维护一个基础设施来成功地完成这一目标。正如布里德在2012年关于知识库和链接解析器的研究中所指出的那样,“这项研究的一个基本观察结果涉及到创建和维护这些电子内容知识库所需要的巨大资源。”供应商可能拥有的资源可以用来维护他们的电子资源知识库的链接,这与图书馆的员工或预算有很大的不同,无论图书馆是大是小,是公共的还是学术的,还是其他的。鉴于全球的财政状况,许多图书馆的工作人员比几年前少得多。然而,2007年所说的话在今天仍然有效:“无处不在的电子和网络信息已经改变了他们的客户对及时获取更广泛的材料和服务的期望”(Barton et al., 2007, p. 46)。确保我们的客户,我们的图书馆用户,能够及时访问似乎是一项永无止境的艰巨任务——“对于电子资源馆员来说,在电子资源管理系统中维护电子书和电子期刊是一项劳动密集型的工作,通常是手工操作的过程”(van Ballegooie, 2016, p. 135)。你们如何维护电子资源连结?
