Abstract

The term “meeting science” first appears in the 2015 publication The Cambridge Handbook of Meeting Science, edited by Allen, Lehamann–Willenbrock, and Rogelberg. The field looks at actual meetings and their components, usually through observations and surveys. As meetings occur in virtually every library environment, it behooves an investigation. There is a lack of empirical studies for meeting science in libraries. This article adds to the growing body of research in the area, explored from a library perspective. The authors investigate the predictors of success for productive meetings, librarian perceptions of effective meeting leadership, and best practices for meeting leadership.

摘要

“会议科学”一词首次出现在 2015 年出版的《剑桥会议科学手册》中，由 Allen、Lehamann-Willenbrock 和 Rogelberg 编辑。该领域通常通过观察和调查来查看实际会议及其组成部分。由于会议几乎在每个图书馆环境中都会发生，因此有必要进行调查。图书馆缺乏满足科学的实证研究。这篇文章补充了该领域不断增长的研究，从图书馆的角度进行了探索。作者调查了富有成效的会议成功的预测因素、图书馆员对有效会议领导的看法以及会议领导的最佳实践。
