Professionalism, golf coaching and a master of science degree

A distinction can be made between 'professionalisation', which is concerned with occupational status and standing, and 'professionalism,' which refers to matters of quality and standards of practice (especially specialized knowledge, ethics and altruism). The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods' current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of 'professionalism' in golf coaches

Cooperative Library Resource Sharing Among Universities Supporting Graduate Study in Alabama

A study of academic libraries in the State of Alabama by the Council of Librarians, an advisory Council to the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, was completed in April 1982. The impetus for the study came from the Council of Graduate Deans, also an advisory Council to the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, and was presented to that body at their Spring meeting, April 21 to 23, 1982. Cooperative Library Resource Sharing Among Universities Supporting Graduate Study in Alabama is a qualitative statement about one component of our postsecondary institutional resources and is based on the assumption that academic libraries represent a valid barometer of institutional excellence in programmatic development and research. This statewide study consists of five independent reports developed over a period of twelve months which collectively represent a comprehensive assessment of the academic libraries of sixteen postsecondary institutions, both public and private. In addition, the reports establish the foundation for continuing and expanding cooperative network activities. Included in the study are detailed analyses of collection development as well as staff and space adequacy according to commonly accepted standards and criteria; current status and trends in bibliographic and physical access; and a profile of Alabama\u27s academic library computerization activities against the state-of-the-art in library computerization nationally. The reports also provide comparative analyses of the libraries against regional and national measures of excellence. The recommendations which emerge from the study culminate in a systematic plan for cooperative resource sharing among academic libraries supporting graduate education, a plan which, if only partially implemented, would serve to enrich substantially not only the existing system but other statewide multi-type library networks as well. The completion of the study is testimony to the climate and level of cooperative activity which currently exists among the State\u27s academic librarians and reinforces the status of the Council of Librarians as a mechanism of proven capability for future efforts.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/lib_ac_alhist/1014/thumbnail.jp

The Right Place at the Right Time: Creative Spaces in Libraries

Purpose This essay explores the recent trend in libraries: that of the establishment of spaces specifically set aside for creative work. The rise of these dedicated creative spaces is owed to a confluence of factors that happen to be finding their expression together in recent years. This essay examines the history of these spaces and explores the factors that gave rise to them and will fuel them moving forward. Design/Methodology/Approach A viewpoint piece, this essay combines historical research and historical/comparative analyses to examine the ways by which libraries have supported creative work in the past and how they may continue to do so into the 21st century. Findings The key threads brought together include a societal recognition of the value of creativity and related skills and attributes; the philosophies, values, and missions of libraries in both their longstanding forms and in recent evolutions; the rise of participatory culture as a result of inexpensive technologies; improved means to build community and share results of efforts; and library experience and historical practice in matters related to creativity. The chapter concludes with advice for those interested in the establishment of such spaces, grounding those reflections in the author’s experiences in developing a new creative space at Virginia Commonwealth University. Originality/value While a number of pieces have been written that discuss the practicalities of developing certain kinds of creative spaces, very little has been written that situates these spaces in larger social and library professional contexts; this essay begins to fill that gap
