In this paper, the authors present the results of research on the use of software tools for data collection and analysis in strategic and current library management. Special attention has been paid to StatuS and Performance Analysis for Polish Research Libraries (AFBN) — the tools most frequently used by Polish academic librarians. StatuS is used by the academic libraries of Krakow Library Group and several other libraries in Poland. Performance Analysis of Polish Research Libraries (AFBN) is a national project. Its main objective is to create standards for Polish libraries based on a set of performance indicators. AFBN consists of the e-survey, a database and special software for the collection and analysis of data. The surveys are submitted by academic and public research libraries once a year. The research on the application of selected software tools for data collection and analysis in library management in Polish academic libraries was conducted in February and March 2009. Results of the research reflect attitudes of managers toward usability of such tools to support various aspects of managerial processes.

Introducción: La gestión de los recursos y el análisis del rendimiento son determinantes en cualquier entidad deportiva. En el caso de deportes de equipo como el baloncesto, este tipo de herramientas son básicas para ayudar en la toma de decisiones. Objetivos: Realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre las tendencias actuales en el desarrollo de sistemas informáticos de gestión deportiva y análisis del rendimiento. Y revisar las herramientas informáticas que en la actualidad prestan este tipo de servicios. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva en cinco bases de datos de referencia en investigación deportiva, obteniendo 717 resultados de los cuales se consideraron relevantes un total de 58. Además, se realizó una búsqueda electrónica de herramientas informáticas de referencia en el sector deportivo y se han analizado 22 de ellas, estudiando sus características, autores, presupuesto y limitaciones. Resultados: Existen características comunes en el desarrollo de herramientas de gestión y análisis del rendimiento deportivo: acceso web, calendario de planificación, registro de la evolución de los jugadores, repositorios de ejercicios y gestión económica, entre otras. Conclusiones: Tradicionalmente no se han integrado las herramientas de gestión y análisis del rendimiento en baloncesto, pero sí existe software que proporcione ambos servicios en fútbol. Los estudios futuros versarán sobre cuestiones de privacidad de datos y la mejora de los sistemas expertos.Abstract. Background: Human resources management and performance analysis are decisive for any sport institution. Moreover, sport managers being in charge of sport clubs must tackle specific issues related to the sport sector. For team sports like basketball, these kind of tools are very important to help at analysis and decision making. Objectives: To find current trends at sport management and performance analysis software. Besides, to review actual management and performance software tools. Method: An exhaustive scientific literature research has been made for five sport-specific research databases. 717 results were gathered and 58 of them were relevant to this study. Some further electronic research was made in order to find valuable software tools for this field. 22 of them were revised taking into account their features, authors, budget and limitations. Results: Common features have been identified for the development of management and performance analysis of sports. Some common features for this kind of software are: web access, planning calendar, player evolution following, exercise databases and economic management, among others. Conclusions: Traditionally, management and performance analysis have not been integrated in one tool for basketball, but some new software is being designed for supporting both in football (soccer). Future studies will tackle data privacy and the improvement of the use of expert systems.

Background Increasing access to Advanced Placement (AP) coursework has been a long-term goal of the College Board and many districts across the country, yet achieving this goal has remained elusive, particularly for African American and Latinx youth and youth in poverty. Purpose In this study, we analyze the work of five districts that have identified inequities in AP participation and developed initiatives to address these inequities. We examine these districts’ strategies, as well as their impact on both access to AP coursework and success on AP exams. We consider how efforts to increase access to AP have affected different racial/ethnic student groups. Participants The five districts are led by superintendents who were members of the Instructional Leaders Network (ILN), a statewide network that focuses on supporting superintendents’ system-wide, equity-focused improvement. The districts vary in demographics, size, and socioeconomic status. Data Collection and Analysis This mixed methods study includes five years of AP enrollment and performance data for four districts, and two years of data for one district. We also identified two of these districts as case studies of AP initiative development and implementation and conducted a series of interviews with administrators from the districts over the five years of the study. We analyzed quantitative data descriptively and used Bonilla-Silva's (2018) concept of color-blind racism to analyze these data in relation to the interview data. Findings All districts adopted strategies focused on students as a whole, which for the most part led to an increase in access for all racial/ethnic groups, but no consistent pattern of reducing over- or under-representation. In terms of outcomes, in some districts, more students received scores of 3 or higher from all racial/ethnic groups, but disparities in average test scores remained. Additionally, across all districts, Black students continued to receive the lowest scores. Conclusions As school districts, individual high schools, and the College Board continue their focus on increasing equity in both access and performance, their approaches need to involve ongoing data collection and evaluation on how different programs and initiatives are positively or negatively affecting student populations that have been traditionally under-served as well as students in general. This research demonstrates that color-neutral policies need to be constantly interrogated by K–12 administrators and other stakeholders to ensure that the policies do not reinforce and sustain existing inequities. If districts seek to target groups of students who are underserved, they need to consider strategies and policies that explicitly and directly address those groups.

Using multiple means of data collection, this study identifies the attributes that present and future directors of the academic libraries in the Association of Research Libraries need to possess. Present-day directors must possess a wide variety of attributes and are less likely to remain in the same position for as many years as their predecessors did. With the aging population of academic librarians, matching the right individual with the right institution is likely to be increasingly difficult in the future.
