This study investigated the copyright issues surrounding the management of e-resources in academic libraries in Ghana. Forty-seven library staff and head librarians from four academic libraries were engaged using questionnaires and qualitative interviews in a sequential mixed-methods approach to generate data for this study. The findings indicate that in all four institutions copyright issues arose with the provision of distance learning, online courses and e-reserves services. All the respondents stated that they or their colleagues had had faculty ask questions on copyright issues. However, the professional librarians indicated that the library was not consulted and the instructors for online courses or distance education programmes did not cooperate with librarians; rather, the department posting the materials made the decisions on copyright regarding the usage of digital resources for distance learning, online courses or e-reserves. This does not augur well for the management of copyright of e-resources in academic libraries in Ghana.

In order to enhance core mixed methods research designs, social scientists need an approach that incorporates developments in the social constructionist perspective. This work describes a study that aimed to promote occupational well-being in hospital departments where employees are at risk of burnout, based on a constructionist inquiry developed starting from the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Taking this study as an example, we define a “generative sequential mixed methods approach” as a process that involves consulting quantitative studies to identify criticalities on which to conduct focused, transformative investigations. The article contributes by envisaging ways to mix qualitative and quantitative methods that consider a “generative” and “future-forming” orientation to research, in line with recent shifts in social psychology.

Sequential Mixed Methods

Family carers of older adults with disability often both experience stress that may affect their ability to provide care, and find some caregiving activities differentially challenging. The objectives of this research are to identify the caregiving activities that are most problematic to carers and to explore the reasons why carers found these activities challenging. Participants were past or current carers aged 19 years and older. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach, data were collected through a survey and open-ended interviews. Thematic analysis revealed that an activity was likely to be more problematic if it had to be coordinated with other caregiving needs or where a care recipient’s disability was severe.

Background. The Client-centred Strategies Framework consists of strategies for facilitating therapists' application of client-centred approaches.Purpose. The purpose of this study was to explore the application of the strategies and the utility of the framework to implement client-centred approaches.Methods. The study used a sequential mixed-methods procedure. The quantitative phase consisted of a survey of 230 Canadian occupational therapists. The qualitative phase consisted of telephone focus groups with a sample of 14 Canadian respondents to the initial survey.Findings. Results indicated that occupational therapists experience challenges in implementing strategies, particularly related to community organizing, coalition advocacy, and political action. Therapists identified multiple factors that influenced the implementation of strategies and ways of incorporating strategies into daily practice. The Client-centred Strategies Framework was viewed as a useful tool for increasing dialogue about occupational therapists' role in client-centred practice.Implications. The results of this study encourage an expanded view of client-centred strategies and the application of strategies to daily practice.
