Abstract
The issue of corruption has come to centre stage. The economic consequences of pervasive corruption, and the recent trends towards democratization, have increased the pressure for accountability and transparency from those in office. Acknowledges that there are no easy solutions or models that can be applied in the fight against corruption. Argues that, while each country is unique in its own history and culture, its political and administrative systems, and its stage of development, similarities do exist, and experience and lessons are often transferable. Building on the notion of a national integrity system as a comprehensive approach to fighting corruption, examines two of the eight pillars of such a system, namely public sector anti‐corruption strategies and watchdog agencies.

Abstract
Purpose
The increasingly active data practice in academic environments makes investigating college faculty users’ potential needs for library data services (LDS) essential. Guided by a conceptual framework rooted in the data lifecycle and the extended technology acceptance model, this study aims to investigate the relationship between faculty’s data engagement (DE) and their attitudes toward multiaspect LDS.
Design/methodology/approach
An online survey at a master’s college was conducted to collect data regarding faculty data practice, potential needs for data services (DS) and attitudes toward multiaspect LDS. Based on 139 complete and valid responses, the study built three conceptual models to demonstrate faculty users’ potential acceptance of LDS for research and teaching.
Findings
Participants’ research and teaching-related DE and background factors directly or indirectly affect their attitudes toward general DS, an institutional data repository if available and repository-based data curation.
Originality/value
The study contributes to DS and librarianship research by offering three conceptual models to explore LDS’ holistic support for faculty research and teaching. Moreover, the study provides insights into faculty’s job-related DE factors and calls for future research on effective DS in more college communities.
