Abstract

In network design, the gap between theory and practice is woefully broad. This book narrows it, comprehensively and critically examining current network design models and methods. You will learn where mathematical modeling and algorithmic optimization have been under-utilized. At the opposite extreme, you will learn where they tend to fail to contribute to the twin goals of network efficiency and cost-savings. Most of all, you will learn precisely how to tailor theoretical models to make them as useful as possible in practice.Throughout, the authors focus on the traffic demands encount

Abstract

Design Journeys through Complex Systemscombines systemic design, leading thinking practices, and years of the combined authors’ experiences into a practitioner’s handbook for design thinking. By drawing upon the authors’ Systemic Design Toolkit, this book provides detailed knowledge of systems science, expanding upon essential systemic design texts in order to demonstrate the power of visual sensemaking.No matter if you’re a design professional or have never come across design systems, these pages allow the user to reassess, reorientate, and address complex issues. By using these methods, you’ll be able to visualize socio-technical systems, democratizing engagement as you simplify complex thoFormed by leaders of and pioneers in systemic design, Dr. Peter Jones and Kristel Van Ael, Design Journeys through Complex Systems is an illuminating text that ushers in a new era of systems change. If you’re a change-maker looking to become a thought leader, the methods embedded in systemic design will light your way to success.ught processes.

Abstract

Faut-il compter les livres que l'on prête ou bien faut-il interroger les lecteurs sur ce qu'ils ont retenu de leur lecture ? Si la première mesure semble facile à réaliser, comment collecter la seconde ? Plus généralement, comment évaluer la performance de sa bibliothèque et comment mesurer son impact sur le public qu'elle dessert ? Ces questions résument l'évolution récente de l'évaluation, désormais centrée sur la mesure du changement que provoque auprès d'un usager, ou d'un quartier, la présence de la bibliothèque et les services qu'elle offre ou le retour sur investissement ? Économique et/ou social ? Pour la collectivité. Résolument tourné vers "la fonction citoyenne d'inclusion sociale, de lieu de rendez-vous (de la bibliothèque)" (Françoise Benhamou), cet ouvrage fournit un mode opératoire précis pour construire une démarche vertueuse d'évaluation : "un indicateur doit répondre à un objectif et fournir une aide à la prise de décision". Cerner l'impact de son établissement, dessiner la cartographie de sa zone de chalandise, mesurer les effets induits par l'offre de services ? Présentiels ou virtuels ? Sur ses différents publics, calculer la satisfaction et tester, à toutes les étapes d'un projet, l'expérience de l'usager sont les sujets traités ici. Coordonné par Cécile Touitou, praticienne de la question, et actuellement responsable marketing à la bibliothèque de Sciences Po Paris, ce volume collectif réunit des professionnel-le-s, tous et toutes impliqué-e-s dans le pilotage et l'accompagnement des actions d'évaluation - de la lecture publique comme de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche

Abstract

Written as a technology guide for students, practitioners, and administrators, the focus of this book is on introducing current and future trends in library technology and automation within the larger context of strategic and systems planning, implementation, and continuous improvement. Technology is an essential resource for attaining both organizational and patron goals, and planning needs to emphasize the alignment between the clearly defined goals of each. For this alignment to occur on a consistent basis goals must be designed, or engineered, in a systematic fashion where technology fulfi
