"Almost one hundred presentations from the 32nd annual Charleston Library Conference (held November 7-10, 2012) are included in this annual proceedings volume. Major themes of the meeting included alternative metrics for measuring impact, patron-driven acquisition, Open Access monographs, the future of university presses, and techniques for minimizing duplication and emphasizing the unique in library collections. While the Charleston meeting remains a core one for acquisitions librarians in dialog with publishers and vendors, the breadth of coverage of this volume reflects the fact that this conference is now one of the major venues for leaders in the publishing and library communities to shape strategy and prepare for the future. Almost 1,500 delegates attended the 2012 meeting, ranging from the staff of small public library systems to the CEOs of major corporations. This fully-indexed, copyedited volume provides a rich source for the latest evidence-based research and lessons from practice in a range of information science fields. The contributors are leaders in the library, publishing, and vendor communities"--

This unique collection of chapters from world experts on person-centered outcome (PCO) measures addresses the following critical questions: Can individual experiences be represented in measurements that do not reduce unique differences to meaningless uniformity? How person-centric are PCO measures? Are PCO measurements capable of delivering the kind of quality assured quantification required for high-stakes decision making? Are PCO measures likely to support improved health care delivery? Have pivotal clinical studies failed to deliver treatments for diseases because of shortcomings in the PCO measures used? Are these shortcomings primarily matters of precision and meaningfulness? Or is the lack of common languages for communicating outcomes also debilitating to quality improvement, research, and the health care economy? Three key issues form an urgent basis for further investigation. First, the numbers generated by PCO measures are increasingly used as the central dependent variables upon which high stakes decisions are made. The rising profile of PCO measures places new demands for higher quality information from scale and test construction, evaluation, selection, and interpretation. Second, PCO measurement science has well-established lessons to be learned from those who have built and established the science over many decades. Finally, the goal in making a PCO measurement is to inform outcome management. As such, it is vitally important that key stakeholders understand that, over the last half century, developments in psychometrics have refocused measurement on illuminating clinically important individual differences in the context of widely reproduced patterns of variation in health and functioning, comparable scale values for quality improvement, and practical explanatory models. This book’s audience includes anyone interested in person-centered care, including healthcare researchers and practitioners, policy makers, pharmaceutical industry representatives, clinicians, patient advocates, and metrologists. This is an open access book.

Dans les années 1980, les technocrates de Margaret Thatcher ont habillé du joli nom de gouvernance le projet d'adapter l'Etat aux intérêts et à la culture de l'entreprise privée. Ce coup d'Etat conceptuel va travestir avec succès la sauvagerie néolibérale en modèle de "saine gestion". Nous en ferons collectivement les frais : déréglementation de l'économie, privatisation des services publics, clientélisation du citoyen, mise au pas des syndicats, ce sera désormais cela gouverner. Appliquée sur un mode gestionnaire ou commercial par des groupes sociaux représentant des intérêts divers, la gouvernance prétend à un art de la gestion pour elle-même. Entrée dans les moeurs, évoquée aujourd'hui à toute occasion et de tous bords de l'échiquier politique, sa plasticité opportune tend à remplacer les vieux vocables de la politique. En 50 courtes prémisses, Alain Deneault montre la logique de cette colonisation de tous les champs de la société par la gouvernance. Car cette "révolution anesthésiante" doit être bien comprise : elle participe discrètement à l'instauration de l'ère du management totalitaire.
