Описание: In order to meet the needs of a changing and demanding society, many academic institutions face great competition for highly coveted, yet dwindling, resources. Traditionally, libraries were a centralized focus on any campus; however, these facilities are now facing budget cuts and decreased resources, forcing them to seek out the necessary partnerships to obtain the support needed to continue to provide services to students and staff.Technology-Centered Academic Library Partnerships and Collaborations examines cooperation efforts employed by librarians, allowing them to provide more services and resources to their patrons with an emphasis on the digital tools and resources being used in such collaborations. Featuring research on various types of partnerships and institutional relationships, as well as the overall benefits of these collaborations, this publication is an essential reference source for librarians, researchers, academic administrators, advanced-level students, and information technology professionals.

Описание: Patient engagement should be envisaged as a key priority today to innovate healthcare services delivery and to make it more effective and sustainable. The experience of engagement is a key qualifier of the exchange between the demand (i.e. citizens/patients) and the supply process of healthcare services. To understand and detect the strategic levers that sustain a good quality of patients’ engagement may thus allow not only to improve clinical outcomes, but also to increase patients’ satisfaction and to reduce the organizational costs of the delivery of services. By assuming a relational marketing perspective, the book offers practical insights about the developmental process of patients’ engagement, by suggesting concrete tools for assessing the levels of patients’ engagement and strategies to sustain it. Crucial resources to implement these strategies are also the new technologies that should be (1) implemented according to precise guidelines and (2) designed according to a user-centered design process. Furthermore, the book describes possible fields of patients’ engagement application by describing the best practices and experiences matured in different fields

Описание: The APPLIED THEATRE series is a major innovation in applied theatre
scholarship: each book presents new ways of seeing and critically reflecting on this dynamic and
vibrant field. Volumes offer a theoretical framework and introductory survey of the field
addressed, combined with a range of case studies illustrating and critically engaging with
practice.

Series Editors: Sheila Preston and Michael Balfour

Applied Theatre: Economies addresses a notoriously problematic area: applied theatre's relationship
to the economy and the ways in which socially committed theatre makers fund, finance or otherwise
resource their work.

Part One addresses longstanding concerns in the field about the effects of economic conditions and
funding relationships on applied theatre practice. It considers how applied theatre's relationship
with local
and global economies can be understood from different theoretical and philosophical perspectives.
It also examines a range of ways in which applied theatre can be resourced, identifying key issues
and seeking possibilities for theatre makers to sustain their work without undermining their social
and artistic values.

The international case studies in Part Two give vivid insights into the day-to-day challenges of
resourcing applied theatre work in Chile, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the US. The
authors examine critical issues or points of tension that have arisen in a particular funding
relationship or from specific economic activities. Each study also illuminates ways in which
applied theatre makers can bring artistic and social justice principles to bear on financial and
organizational processes.

Описание:

Applied Theatre: Creative Ageing examines the complex social, political and cultural needs of a diverse group in our society and asks how contemporary applied theatre responds to those needs. It allows an examination of innovative national and international practice in applied theatre that responds to the needs of older adults to encourage outcomes such as wellbeing and social inclusion. The book does this while also questioning how we, as a society, wish to respond to the complex needs of older adults and the process of ageing and how applied theatre practices can help us do so in a way that is both positive and inclusive.

In Part One Sheila McCormick reviews and historicises the practice of applied theatre with, for and by the elderly. It argues that pioneering applied theatre strategies are vital if the creative practice is to respond to the growing needs of older members of society, and reflects on particular cultural responses to ageing and the elderly.

The second part of the book is made up of essays and case studies from leading experts and practitioners from Britain, America and Australia, including consideration of applied theatre approaches to dementia, health, wellbeing, social inclusion and Alzheimer's disease.
