TL;DR: The NAPCRG Task Force on Mental Health Problems as discussed by the authors was created to explore critical research and policy issues in mental health and to develop a primary care research agenda for review and action.
Abstract: Purpose: The NAPCRG Task Force on Mental Health Problems was commissioned to explore critical research and policy issues in mental health and to develop a primary care research agenda for review and action by NAPCRG. This White Paper presents the key findings and recommendations of the Task Force. Methods: A comprehensive review of the primary care mental health literature, using MEDLINE searches with manual follow up, and personal communications with many active researchers in the field were performed by the authors; Task Force members participated in the editing and refinement of the White Paper in a series of email and face-to-face meetings. Summary and Conclusions: Although primary care researchers have made major contributions to our growing understanding of mental health problems as they exist in the real world of primary care, rapid changes in the U.S. health care environment threaten to undo the integration of mental and physical health that is at the heart of primary care. It will be necessary for the primary care leaders in this field to primary care to guide policy-makers, purchasers, and the public as primary care is reengineered for the next generation. Efforts to operationalize episode of care and comorbidity recording with EMR systems, particularly in cooperation with managed care corporations and/or primary care research networks, may represent the most effective strategy for promoting the integration of mental health services into primary care. The most promising area for research in the immediate future may be descriptive studies that capture and explore the clinical epidemiology of common mental health problems as they occur in routine practice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the concept of isomorphism, developed within institutional theory, to explain the progress of the Business Excellence Model in local government and draw out some important lessons: central government needs to be beware of its ability to create coercive isomorphic forces, which can lead to unintended consequences.
Abstract: The White Paper "Modern Local Government: In Touch with the People" suggested the Business Excellence Model as a way for local authorities to demonstrate Best Value in service delivery. The author uses the concept of isomorphism, developed within institutional theory, to explain the progress of the Model in local government. She draws out some important lessons: First, central government needs to be beware of its ability to create coercive isomorphic forces, which can lead to unintended consequences. Second, local authorities should embark on new initiatives only if they are convinced of a practical benefit to the organization. Alternatively, where conferment of legitimacy is the desired result, they should wait until the bandwagon is well and truly rolling towards a named destination before they join it.

TL;DR: As chair of the Standards Committee of ACRL’s College Libraries Section, a number of librarians engaged in planning new or renovated libraries sought an official ACRL document that would provide guidance on how many computer workstations should be planned for their project.
Abstract: As chair of the Standards Committee of ACRL’s College Libraries Section, I received emails from a number of librarians engaged in planning new or renovated libraries. They sought an official ACRL document that would provide guidance on how many computer workstations should be planned for their project. But, the 2004 Standards for Libraries in Higher Education consciously had moved away from such quantitative measures.
