“…In an article dealing with academic libraries in the digital age, Wilson (1998) argues that the traditional library has been structured according to differences between processes such as acquisition of materials, processing of material, diffusion of information and information enquiry services. Wilson argues that from the point of view of the user these differences are irrelevant.…”

Compares and analyses two approaches to structuring library and information science (LIS) education and research, the discipline oriented, and the approach which is denoted “the complete librarian”. The complete librarian designates an educational ideal aiming at integrating the different knowledge‐domains of LIS‐practice. Maintains that “the complete librarian” represents a valuable epistemological approach, which can supplement discipline‐oriented approaches, and is capable of generating knowledge that it might be difficult to grasp via discipline‐oriented approaches. Far‐reaching tendencies in education and research in general and within LIS‐education in particular, threaten the approach of “the complete librarian”. Discusses some strategies for securing the survival of the approach and its benefits.

“…In spite of decades of using various tools and models to manage credit concentration risk (e.g. “CreditMetrics” developed by Gupton et al [1997], “KMV PorfolioManager” designed by Kealhofer and Bohn [2001], “CreditRisk+” developed by Credit Suisse Financial Products [1997], “Creditportfolioview” implemented by Wilson [1998] and “VaR with Contagion and Sectoral Risks” developed by Bonollo et al [2010]), the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 divulged a number of significant credit exposure concentrations within banks that caused major losses during the credit crunch and attracted further regulatory attention to this type of risk (CEBS [2010], Boeri [2013] and Allen et al [2012]). Following up on the credit concentration risk definition by Tiwari (2010) and by looking at the realistic credit portfolios of the banks participating in this study, the paper assesses whether the poorly diversified credit exposures lead to the risky concentrations across industry sectors or geographical regions.…”

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the recent changes to the Pillar 2 regulatory-prescribed methodologies to classify and calculate credit concentration risk. Focussing on the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA) methodologies, the paper tests the susceptibility to bias of the Herfindahl–Hirscham Index (HHI). The empirical tests serve to assess the assumption that the regulatory classification of exposures within the geographical concentration is subject to potential misuse that would undermine the PRA’s objective of obtaining risk sensitivity and improved banking competition. Design/methodology/approach Using the credit exposure data from three global banks, the HHI methodology is applied to the portfolio of geographically classified exposures, replicating the regulatory exercise of reporting credit concentration risk under Pillar 2. In doing so, the validity of the aforementioned assumption is tested by simulating the PRA’s Pillar 2 regulatory submission exercise with different scenarios, under which the credit exposures are assigned to different geographical regions. Findings The paper empirically shows that changing the geographical mapping of the Eastern European EU member states can result in a substantial reduction of the Pillar 2 credit concentration risk capital add-on. These empirical findings hold only for the banks with large exposures to Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The paper reports no material impact for the well-diversified credit portfolios of global banks. Originality/value This paper reviews the PRA-prescribed methodologies and the Pillar 2 regulatory guidance for calculating the capital add-on for the single name, sector and geographical credit concentration risk. In doing so, this paper becomes the first to test the assumptions that the regulatory guidance around the geographical breakdown of credit exposures is subject to potential abuse because of the ambiguity of the regulations.

“…Moran (2001) notes that university libraries still are rather large units with cumbersome organizational structures that do not support fast transformation, though she believes that they are on their way to becoming learning organizations. Wilson (1998, p. 17) urges university librarians to become more client‐centered, to redesign work processes in light of organizational goals, and to restructure their operations in order to support front‐line performance.…”

PurposeTo explore the nature of the university's knowledge processes and to specify the library's role in these processes.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical framework for strategic management based on the concepts of the value constellation of networked enterprises and the knowledge processes is applied along with the concept of a strategic partnership to indicate the library's new role within the university.FindingsThe library's role in the generative knowledge processes is likely to become the major managerial challenge. Its role in the productive knowledge processes will increase, and in the representative knowledge processes it will diversify.Research limitations/implicationsThe same research object could be approached empirically from a multidisciplinary perspective, i.e. the transforming research and teaching processes and enhancement of the library's role in them. The impact of the library's intellectual capital on the university's intellectual capital should be examined in terms of performance assessment in theory and practice.Practical implicationsIlluminative examples indicate how libraries can take a more proactive, strategic role in practice.Originality/valueThis timely paper develops a sound theoretical basis on which the library can be understood as a vital member of a strategic partnership in the management of the university's intellectual capital. It is a significant application to library management of theory from outside the field. The paper is rich in stimulating ideas, and should be of considerable interest to a wide readership.
