浅谈工具书如何更好地服务高层次读者

工具书是图书馆重要的文献资源,备受读者的青睐,特别是深受高层次读者的欢迎。因此,做好工具书对高层次读者的服务工作是图书馆工作的重要环节,本文就如何做好工具书对高层次读者的服务工作进行了阐述。     

从读者的视角看高校图书馆工具书的利用

工具书利用率低是高校图书馆普遍存在的问题。文章通过大量的问卷调查和对读者的走访,对读者的需求状态进行了总结并认识到对工具书信息开发推广的重要性,也从读者的角度对图书馆为提高工具书利用率而采取的各项措施给予评析和建议。     

复合图书馆时代工具书资源建设探究

在复合图书馆时代,工具书资源建设已呈现出多介质、多学科情况,资源建设应对所有类型工具书进行分级,遵循"存取"与"拥有"并重、实体与虚拟并存原则,对工具书资源书目资源进行整合,通过购买、自建、联合等手段来建立具有馆藏特色的工具书数据库.     

论纸质工具书、电子版工具书和网络版工具书的缘起、现状及发展趋势

通过对纸质工具书、电子版工具书和网络工具书今昔状况的对比介绍及未来走向的预测，阐述其在发展过程中各自的特点、优势和瓶颈。提出图书馆在辅导读者利用工具书检索资料时应将三者有机结合起来，这是现阶段情况下甚至是今后很长一段历史时期内切实可行的捷径。     

县图书馆对中文工具书的掌握与使用

工具书按照语种划分为中文工具书和外文工具书。县图书馆主要是收藏和使用中文工具书。中文工具书在县馆工作中有着相当重要的作用,它们不仅是藏书建设工作必要的参考工具,同时也是搞好读者工作的重要武器。图书流通、宣传辅导、参考咨询、文献检索等,都离不开工具书。因此,县馆工作者掌握和使用工具书,对完成图书馆各项任务有着重要的意义。

应重视网络环境下工具书开发利用

网络环境下工具书的开发利用,分别从纸质载体的、狭义的工具书及广义的、包括电子载体的工具书二方面出发来进行工具书的研究及开发。对纸质载体工具书的利用,为改变图书馆工具书被冷落的情况,试图从读者角度出发,重新按类编排工具书,开发使用。对计算机及网络使用的普及,提出了网络工具书的概念,并认为在计算机编程及网络使用中也离不开纸质载体工具书。     

编制边缘工具书目录和工具性资料索引的探讨

当前,高校图书馆普遍重视工具书阅览室建设,工具书的作用得到较好发挥。在实际过程中,笔者感到,如何编制基本适应教学和科研需要的工具书目录,尚须进行深入探讨。一、边缘工具书和工具性资料     

关于建立工具书专题索引的思考

本文分析了高校图书馆读者使用工具书的情况，指出仅有分类目录和主题目录远不能反映工具书目的内涵，许多读者需要的内容无法从这两套目录中检索到，提出建立工具书专题索引是解决这一问题的最好办法，并介绍了一套完整的建立工具书专题索引的方法。

通过对传统上具书与网络工具书的比较分析,阐述了网络工具书必将取代传统工具书的主导地位.指出图书馆工作人员在读者咨询服务方面应做的几项工作.     

Serving Community Faculty Through a Dedicated Liaison

Community-based medical schools rely heavily on volunteer faculty to provide medical education. Volunteer faculty consist of health care professionals, primarily physicians, who commit to educating medical students and residents. While these volunteer faculty are typically unpaid, many medical schools provide some benefits to them for volunteering their time. One such benefit, although rarely noted in library or medical education literature, is access to academic medical library resources and services. This article highlights a library services liaison model dedicated to the support of volunteer faculty at a community-based medical school.     

Medical school graduates' retrospective evaluation of a clinical medical librarian program.

This paper reports on the results of a survey of sixty-six graduates of the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine conducted in the spring of 1977. The graduates were questioned about their present library use behavior and their restrospective perceptions of the clinical medical librarian (CML) services which they received as medical students at UMKC. The results show that these young physicians, after regular association with other, more tradional medical library services, hold very positive impressions of the CML program. The graduates also typically credit the CML'S with helping them to learn to use library resources effectively. These retrospective perceptions of the CML match the short-term benefits reported in other studies of similar programs.     

Kansas Regional Medical Program Library Services

The Kansas Regional Medical Program Office for Library Services was developed to link the medical library resources and to make them available to health-related personnel throughout Kansas. Library offices have been established at the Central Kansas Medical Center, Great Bend, Stormont Medical Library, Topeka, and at the Wichita State University, Wichita. The main office, located at the Clendening Medical Library, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, provides medical library services to those three offices, the other medical libraries in Kansas, and to the health professionals in the state who do not have medical library resources available. Reference requests are accepted via a twenty-four-hour telephone service from medical librarians and from individual health professionals.     

Influence of the scholar

Among the factors which will influence the emerging roles of medical libraries will be the changing needs of the medical scholars who use them. The effectiveness of the medical practitioner will be determined to an increasing extent by his capacity to mobilize information with a rapidity sufficient to permit its application in day-to-day decision-making. The practice of medicine is becoming an increasingly academic pursuit. The library and the librarian will, therefore, become more directly involved in the practice of medicine, and the library will be a more crucial resource in providing superior patient-care. Changes in undergraduate and continuing medical education will make new demands on the library. These and other related developments will create new functions, new problems, and new opportunities for the librarian.

New library buildings: the University of Michigan Medical Library and Learning Resource Center

The University of Michigan opened a new medical library in July 1980. The five-story structure combines the library with a learning-resources center. Overall, the building has operated smoothly and has been well accepted. The combining of two facilities designed to support the teaching and learning objectives of the health sciences curriculum will ensure long-term cooperation between them.     

Understanding the foundation: the state of generalist search education in library schools as related to the needs of expert searchers in medical libraries.

PURPOSE: The paper explores the current state of generalist search education in library schools and considers that foundation in respect to the Medical Library Association's statement on expert searching. SETTING/SUBJECTS: Syllabi from courses with significant searching components were examined from ten of the top library schools, as determined by the U.S. News & World Report rankings. METHODOLOGY: Mixed methods were used, but primarily quantitative bibliometric methods were used. RESULTS: The educational focus in these searching components was on understanding the generalist searching resources and typical users and on performing a reflective search through application of search strategies, controlled vocabulary, and logic appropriate to the search tool. There is a growing emphasis on Web-based search tools and a movement away from traditional set-based searching and toward free-text search strategies. While a core set of authors is used in these courses, no core set of readings is used. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: While library schools provide a strong foundation, future medical librarians still need to take courses that introduce them to the resources, settings, and users associated with medical libraries. In addition, as more emphasis is placed on Web-based search tools and free-text searching, instructors of the specialist medical informatics courses will need to focus on teaching traditional search methods appropriate for common tools in the medical domain.     

TWX and interlibrary loans

Libraries now have available to them a variety of ways of speeding the flow of information among widely scattered locations. One of the means for the improvement of interlibrary loan service is the use of the teletypewriter, and the use of Teletypewriter Exchange Service (TWX) by medical libraries during the past three years is described. The background of library applications of teletypewriter systems is outlined, and the advantages, types of use, cost factors, and experiences of some groups are discussed, as well as the impact of the "network concept" on library service.     

Errata control in biomedical journals

Errata notices published in medical journals are investigated by (1) a six-month study of those currently received by a medium-sized medical library; (2) a survey on the way medical libraries handle them, and (3) interviews with researchers to determine their ideas about errata. Since there is a wide variation at present in errata control practices, the question is raised about the extent of a library's responsibility with regard to errata.
