数典勿忘祖，“显学”隐巨擘——为司马迁目录学成就正名

在传统文化领域里,目录学素有“显学”之称。由于种种原因,史学家司马迁在目录学领域至今尚无一席之地。本文以事实表明,《史记》是一部空前规模的隐性书目文献。《史记》中隐含着目录学的理论和款目组织:辨析先秦诸子学术分野,揭示代表人物的生平事迹,考镜诸子学术源流,历数著述及学术成就,并以“互见法”揭示文献内容。《史记》对《汉书·艺文志》产生了重要影响,两书都以国史平台展示图书文献,重视学术流派的辨析,重视图书层面的内在联系。司马迁为目录学的确立和发展做出了奠基性贡献。参考文献8。     

从《医籍考》看丹波氏父子的目录学思想与成就

本文主要以《医籍考》为视角,探讨了其作者丹波氏父子的目录学思想与成就。作者继承了"辨章学术,考镜源流"的中国传统目录学理论,并运用于《医籍考》的编纂当中,而丹波氏父子也成为晚清直至近代中国传统目录学家的代表之一。     

郑樵目录学思想浅说

宋代的目录学家们提出了一系列对后世影响深远的目录学思想,尤其以郑樵为代表,编写了我国的第一部目录学理论专著——《通志.校雠略》。从书目类例和书目著录两个角度对郑樵的目录学思想进行了总结和分析。     

建国以来对清代目录学家章学诚研究述评

钱振新同志在“章学诚的‘考辨’思想及其文化意义”一文中指出:“章学诚的目录学思想代表了乾嘉学术的一个重要学派,他是由于对文化学术史起了总结性的作用而成为传统目录学的一位著名代表,是由传统目录学向近代目录学进展的先驱人物。他的目录学理论集中形成了‘辨章学术,考镜源流’的思想体系。”这一观点不仅对章学诚在我国目录学史上的地位进行了高度概括,而且对章氏的目录学思想体系之精华予以科学     

透辟精审之作——《目录学发微》随笔

曾朴《补后汉艺文志并考》平议

自清乾隆起,相继有学者对《后汉书》开展了补史志工作,形成了一批卓有成效的学术成果,曾朴《补后汉艺文志并考》和姚振宗《后汉艺文志》代表了这方面的最高成就。前人多关注姚振宗之书,往往忽略曾朴之书。曾朴《补后汉艺文志并考》一书采用辑录体提要的形式,吸收了清人大量的研究成果,充分发挥了目录学“辨章学术,考镜源流”的学术史功能,集中体现了曾朴的史学和目录学思想。     

隋唐五代目录学理论的系统化

我国古代目录学的产生虽以西汉末年刘氏父子《别录》《七略》为标志,但至宋代以前仍未有目录学的理论专著。南宋绍兴间产生了我国第一部目录学理论专著《校雠略》,亦非偶然现象,在此之前隋唐五代就已初步形成了我国目录学的理论体系。本文试图论述这一时期目录学理论的系统化,以期进一步了解和掌握目录学这门传统学科在我国的发生发展规律。一、关于目录学意义的初步阐述隋唐以前的书目著作中,往往在其序言或提要中涉及目录学的一些理论问题,但是关于目录学的意义和作用,却未能论及。隋唐时期的有关文献开始深入地论述这一问题,并且成为这一时期目录学

Periodicals of Ethnic Minorities in Poland

ABSTRACT

The article examines the most important periodicals of ethnic minorities in Poland. After 1989, many ethnic groups (e.g., Germans and Romanies) were allowed to publish journals and newspapers for the first time since the end of World War II. The publications examined show the rich cultural life of the various ethnic groups as well as their current status in Poland. In addition to popular titles, some scholarly publications are also discussed.     

Reference Question Answered: Bibliographic Sources for the Ukrainian Periodical Press in the 1840s: Encyclopedias,Bibliographies, Guides,and Library Catalogs

The author answers a reference question on bibliographic sources for the Ukrainian periodical press 1840–1850. Helpful publications include bibliographies, guides, and library catalogs. These potentially make mention of revolutionary developments in Hungary (such as the Twelve Points paragraph of the Demands of the Hungarian Nation in March 1848, the subsequent April Laws, and Hungary's declaration of independence in April 1949), and elsewhere in the Hapsburg Empire.     

Architectures of Knowledge and Literary Tradition: A History of the Almanac in Croatia

ABSTRACT

The history of the almanac in Croatia is reconstructed through primary research in bibliographic and archival sources. The almanac is a vehicle for knowledge communication in informal contexts, engaging both oral tradition and literary forms traceable to medieval literacy and ways of structuring knowledge. The history of the almanac in Croatia reflects the changing context of the book trade, literacy, and the evolution of language. Four main stages are identified: (1) the beginning of the annual almanac in the seventeenth century; astrological almanacs reflecting the sensibility of the Baroque period; (2) the Enlightenment's stimulation of almanac publishing in the spirit of contemporary secular reforms in agriculture and education; (3) nineteenth-and twentieth-century almanac trade, showing complex and overlapping networks for the production, distribution and appropriation of printed almanacs;(4) roughly the end of World War II, when the almanac slowly moved out of the role of a popular mass medium and into specialized niches represented by regional, diaspora, and religious almanacs.     

How Digital Content Resellers are Impacting Trade Book Publishing

This paper will explore these questions and look at some of the possible reasons behind Amazon’s business practices and the possible consequences to publishers.     

Germany's New Culture of Welcome—Our Libraries are an Essential Part of it

ABSTRACT

German authorities are expecting more than 1 million refugees by the end of 2015. These people come to Germany to seek protection and assistance and to build a new life, therefore it is important to welcome them and to assist them in their integration as soon as possible. This situation creates a versatile and perfectly fitting opportunity for cultural and educational programs, including libraries, which can play a vital role in this integration process. The key to integration is the knowledge of the German language, and the most important challenge now is to teach the necessary language skills to as many asylum-seekers as possible.     

Syndicating Rich Bibliographic Metadata Using MODS and RSS

Abstract

Many libraries use RSS to syndicate information about their collections to users. A survey of 65 academic libraries revealed their most common use for RSS is to disseminate information about library holdings, such as lists of new acquisitions. Even though typical RSS feeds are ill suited to the task of carrying rich bibliographic metadata, great potential exists for developing applications that can exploit metadata exposed to Web services via RSS. Using the MODS metadata format, entire catalog records can be seamlessly embedded in RSS 2.0 feeds. Existing tools, such as Library of Congress Java toolkits and XSLT stylesheets, can facilitate this process, while a new XSLT stylesheet may be used to create the RSS feeds complete with MODS records. As an example of the added functionality these MODS/RSS feeds can offer, records from a MODS-enriched RSS feed can be ingested into a non-RSS application such as Zotero. As more emerging library technologies use Web services architectures to handle data objects, the ability to syndicate catalog records will become more critical to providing innovative library Web services.     

Modeling Collection Development Behavior

Most studies of collection development mask inadequate theoretical underpinnings with facile assumptions and dazzling statistical manipulations. This essay, in moving toward a model for collection development within both specific collections and library systems as a whole, seeks to demonstrate the full range and complexity of relevant factors. An enlarged theoretical grasp should help highlight both the possibilities and the challenges of existing approaches. One result could be a shift toward gaming or simulation techniques as more realistic analytical tools.     

Selected List of GLBT Popular Publications

An annotated list is presented describing seventeen periodicals that cover significant aspects of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) community and their culture in whole or in part, with popular content rather than an academic or research focus. The titles included are a selective and representative sampling. The entry for each periodical includes the following information: periodical title, publisher/editor and address, basic information, publication data, content, Internet information, an abstract/annotation, and evaluative statement     

Toward a Model ILL and Document Delivery Automated System: A Case Study

SUMMARY

The state of Illinois funded a large scale Ariel project. This is a report of the project's successes and shortcomings. Although widely successful, additional training in the use of sophisticated hardware, primarily Minolta scanners, is needed. Data on sending and receiving is included.     

Electronic Interlibrary Loan Delivery with Ariel and ILLiad

SUMMARY

Ariel files are the starting point for electronic delivery of interlibrary loan articles through ILLiad, Virginia Tech's interlibrary loan system. Despite some advantages to electronic delivery of articles to their desktops, a large majority of ILL customers continue to prefer print on paper delivery rather than electronic delivery. This fact has implications for introducing additional electronic services. Correctly choosing what services to impose on library customers, and what services to offer as value-added options, is fundamental to maintaining the credibility of libraries during these times of rapid change.
