The original eLibrarian service used email to have the reference librarians provide students with research strategies within a 24-hour turnaround. The current eLibrarian 2.0 system is entirely Web-based, and provides new functionalities that increase the capacity of the service, while under the constraint of a steady-state number of librarians. These enhancements include an auto-populated knowledge base and a recommender system.</p> https://escholarship.org/uc/item/32d0462p Fri, 18 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0000 Borah, Eloisa Gomez Carlson, Timothy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/22d8930d <p>The rapid proliferation of communication and information technology coupled with an exponential increase in information has created an “access paradox,” whereby information is readily available, but individual skills for effectively utilizing the environment are not keeping pace. In response to the access paradox, the UCLA Anderson School’s Computing and Information Services (ACIS) has launched InfoIQ, a pilot program that seeks to develop a formal framework of technology and information education for MBA students that can be applied both during their academic careers and as business professionals.</p> https://escholarship.org/uc/item/22d8930d Fri, 23 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 Lippincott, Aura Kuchida, Hiro https://escholarship.org/uc/item/90c1908k <p>The 1998 Fifteenth Annual UCLA Survey of Business School Computer Usage extends the focus of the previous surveys, providing a comprehensive overview of business school computing, communication, and information environments. This year there is an added emphasis on distance learning resources and issues. Results of the survey show that business schools, on average, are allocating about 3.5% of their overall school operating budgets on computing and information resources. However, the 88 schools which provided data related to their distance learning programs are allocating about 4.5%.</p><p>Other findings showed that nearly half of these business schools are offering a distance learning based business degree. Furthermore, these schools are primarily using their full-time faculty to develop the curriculum and teach the courses. These courses are supported via email (89%), fax (65%), video teleconferencing (56%) and telephone audio conferencing (35%).</p><p>Detailed appendices... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/90c1908k Mon, 4 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Britt, Julia A.

Britt, Julia A. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/73452394 <p>The 1997 Fourteenth Annual UCLA Survey of Business School Computer Usage extends the focus of the previous surveys, providing a comprehensive overview of the business school computing, communication, and information environment. Results of the survey show that business schools are now allocating about the same amount of their overall budget to support information technology as in 1985. The 1997 ratio of 3.3% represented a drop from the peak of 4.6% in 1993. The average number of business school owned microcomputers, 244, also declined from the 1993 peak of 258. The figure emphasizes that although budgets have returned level of a decade ago, the average number of microcomputer systems supported is three times what it was in the mid-eighties.</p><p>Other findings showed 85% of the business schools with access to distance learning and teleconferencing equipment, but only 39% with regular usage for instruction. Further, required on-line student use of databases and information... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/73452394 Mon, 4 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Frand, Jason L.

Britt, Julia A. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5vq7s47c <p>The convergence of information, multimedia and communication technologies is sweeping business schools. In cooperation with the American Assembly of Collegial Schools of Business, the Eleventh Annual UCLA Anderson School Survey of Business School Computer Usage examines how 352 business schools around the world are incorporating 12 learning technology applications into their environments. These ranged from more established technologies, such as e-mail usage to barely emerging prototypes, such as virtual classrooms. Data analysis indicated three underlying technology adoption clusters, each one stage further along the adoption path than the previous. The report contains detailed discussions of nature of each cluster and its related challenges. Also, examples of best practices from different schools provide insights into problems as well as exciting possibilities.</p><p>Two earlier surveys present other issues related to the integration of information technology into business... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5vq7s47c Mon, 4 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Frand, Jason L.

Britt, Julia A. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4cr7p4kg <p>The 1999 Sixteenth Annual UCLA Survey of Business School Computer Usage replicated the 1987 Third Annual Survey. Deans from 215 business schools from eight countries identified their three most critical general issues and their most critical information technology issues.</p><p>Content analysis was used to interpret the dean's general issues. Disregarding priority rankings, 34% of their general responses had some sort of a strategic component, indicated by the use of such words and/or phrases as planning, raising, increasing, continuous improvement, outcomes assessment, leading, strategic focus, reaching the top rank, comparative advantages, or market place competition. Demographic data allowed analysis by several groups including accredited/non-accredited, public/private, school size by student FTE, and type of program. Significant differences in the general response categories were shown when the schools were separated by type of program and accreditation status.</p><p>Content... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4cr7p4kg Mon, 4 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Britt, Julia A.

Britt, Julia A. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/37t6p7t1 <p>In cooperation with the American Assembly of Collegial Schools of Business (AACSB), the Twelfth UCLA Survey of Business School Computer Usage addresses the financial and service aspects of the computerization effort. Data from 240 business schools from 11 countries is presented by quartile based on computer operating dollar per student. Schools in the first quartile are spending substantially more on average ($1,153,000) while those in the fourth quartiles are spending considerably less on average ($99,600). These expenditure differences are reflected in both the nature and quantity of the hardware resources and also in the level of staff support.</p><p>The report presents detailed demographic and hardware data, operating and capital budget information, and details on staff allocations for services. It provides benchmarks for capital and operating budget distributions and staff allocations by service.</p> https://escholarship.org/uc/item/37t6p7t1 Mon, 4 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Frand, Jason L.

When UCLA’s Anderson School first began its survey ten years ago, microcomputers were a rare commodity on college campuses. This year, the 180 schools responding reported an average of 239 microcomputers per school. This explosive growth represents a technological evolution of major proportion and creates an opportunity to change the nature of business education.</p><p>The Tenth Annual UCLA Survey of Business School Computer Usage: A Global Perspective extend the focus of the 1991 Eighth Survey to provide deans and other policy makers with the information necessary to make informed allocation decisions and program plans. It provides an in-depth analysis of the available hardware, software, and databases, entrance and graduation requirements, and financial data.

Ng, H. Alvin https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1267n5zr <p>In cooperation with AACSB, the Thirteenth UCLA Survey of Business School Computer Usage focuses on the question of “Where are business schools in the computerization process?” Two hundred ninety-three schools completed the phase diagrams providing data on 43 aspects of the computerization process. Forty-one figures and 18 tables support the data analysis.</p><p>For this sample as a whole, business schools can be characterized as in the moderate growth phase, indicating initial acceptance of computer-related concepts but insufficient resources to meet demand. However, the school clustered into five statistically significant groups: Start-up, Mixed, Late Growth, Stable, and Mature. The strategic, instructional, operational and network issues associated with each cluster were contrasted. E.g., the instructional issue of inability to use computers in the classroom was identified by the earlier clusters whereas the problem of courseware development was identified by clusters... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1267n5zr Mon, 4 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Frand, Jason L.
