信息化进程中的图书馆核心竞争力研究

文章评价了对图书馆核心竞争力的已有研究，提出知识组织是构建图书馆核心竞争力的基石。图书馆正是通过知识组织，将“资源”和“服务”紧密联系起来，并在知识创新和知识服务中实现图书馆的社会价值。     

图书馆核心价值与图书馆制度设计

基于国外图书馆核心价值的界定,我国图书馆核心价值内容体系由职能层面、制度设计层面和核心价值观层面组成。图书馆是保障信息公平和实现知识自由的制度设计,同时信息公平与知识自由也是图书馆核心价值理念的组成部分。

基于知识转移的图书馆核心价值体系构成要素及影响因素分析

构建科学合理的图书馆核心价值体系是提高其社会地位、实现其可持续发展的重要前提.界定知识转移视角下图书馆核心价值的内涵,以图书馆学“要素说”、管理学系统论原理等为理论依据,从构成要素与影响因素两方面对基于知识转移的图书馆核心价值体系进行分析,力求为图书馆核心价值体系研究提供借鉴.     

现代图书馆核心价值的定位及其实现

从图书馆核心价值的研究出发，论述图书馆核心价值的总体定位体现在保障读者自由利用知识信息的公益性上，其核心功能主要体现在资源整合、知识挖掘、信息传递、咨询四个方面，最后从观念澄清、需求分析、发展管理等方面就提高图书馆的核心价值进行了探讨。     

图书馆核心价值的再认识

核心价值是一套不受外界评判的永久性指导原则,它是组织的灵魂与中心。图书馆作为一种隐性产出的事业,它的价值不在于其自身的＂经济产值＂,而更多地体现在知识的积累、传递、再生之中,隐含在提高读者基本素质和劳动效率之中。所以,图书馆对读者知识需求的满足是图书馆价值的核心和最直接体现。信息时代,图书馆的核心价值已经不再局限在本馆范围内对读者信息需求的满足,而是扩展到某一地区、某一国家乃至全球的相关读者。图书馆要想实现新形势下的核心价值只有发挥全社会图书馆的整体优势,走文献资源共享的道路。     

图书馆核心价值的探索实践

当前,图书馆事业的发展基础就是其核心价值,这是一个具有现实意义的重要课题,它可以为图书馆从业者提供最基础的办馆理念。因此,文章围绕图书馆核心价值展开进一步的讨论,以期借助于图书馆核心价值来指导图书馆实际工作,实现公共知识服务的最大化效益。具体来说,图书馆核心价值在图书馆实际工作中的实践,需要人们树立明确的图书馆价值观,不断深化图书馆各项改革工作,更新办馆理念,优化图书馆资源,从而让图书馆核心价值成为一项具有生命力的系统工程。     

图书馆核心价值及其实现

"图书馆核心价值"是一个颇具现实意义的研究课题.研究"图书馆核心价值"必须首先树立明确的图书馆价值观,必须认识到图书馆的核心价值在于实现公共知识服务效益.服务是图书馆存在的理由,是图书馆的生命力所在,是社会对图书馆认同的基础,图书馆的效益和价值必须首先体现在服务绩效上.实现图书馆核心价值是一项系统工程,必须深化改革,提升理念,优化资源,加强协作,搞活服务,和谐阅读,培育人才,完善管理.     

从制度学视角论图书馆知识自由的实现

知识自由作为图书馆的核心价值,其实现主要由制度来保障。知识自由的实现在我国图书馆界基本属于自发状态。在实践中,图书馆制度与知识自由的实现之间存在着悖论,图书馆制度既保障又制约着知识自由的实现。图书馆应立足于服务,面向未来,制订既具有前瞻性又具有现实性的图书馆制度。     

核心价值的特征：图书馆核心价值筛选和确定的切入点——论图书馆核心价值与核心职能

图书馆核心价值是图书馆人共同的职业理想和职业基石,具有价值观层面的意义,其主体是图书馆职业;图书馆核心价值具有恒定性、独特性、统摄性、理想性等特征,核心价值特征可以作为筛选和确定图书馆核心价值的切入点或标准;通过基于核心价值特征的分析,得出知识与信息自由是普世性的图书馆核心价值;图书馆核心价值在当代中国语境下需要具体化和发展;保存人类记录、为社会提供服务、教育与学习等是普世性的图书馆核心职能;不同类型的图书馆或相同类型的图书馆在不同的历史阶段具有不同的核心职能。     

Politicking for the Public Library

ABSTRACT

In today's current political environment raising support for millage renewals, bond campaigns or even millage continuations for public libraries is affected by national politics, and a tendency towards tax aversion on principle across the country. The lessons we can learn from the governing boards of small and rural public libraries are worth raising up to a greater national consciousness. Board governance, community consciousness, and facilities management are clear and logical tools that elected boards of public libraries can use to politick for support of libraries.     

British Writings on Romania: From Travel Accounts to Studies

This article surveys a sample of sources of the information about Romania available to British readers in nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals. It traces first contacts between the Romanian lands and Britain after the union of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in 1859, then after their independence from the Ottoman Empire. The article highlights an increased Romanian interest in British periodicals, which reported and reviewed Romanian literature and scholarship. The article concludes that nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals offer a great variety and wealth of new material previously unavailable or unknown to researchers. It also states that only a portion of a large quantity of this material has been indexed and is therefore available via the bibliographic sources mentioned in the article. The author argues for the need of a new and updated British-Romanian bibliography, which can draw on new online resources offering access to thousands of new newspapers and periodical records.     

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.     

Slavic Approval Plans: What Works and What Doesn't

ABSTRACT

The paper looks at library approval plans for material published in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian countries from the selector's point of view. Reasons why a selector would or would not want one are examined. Success with approval plans requires monitoring receipts, as well as good and ongoing communication among the selector, the acquistions department, and the vendor. A preliminary list of vendors offering approval plans for the countries of the region appears in the appendix.

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.

Selling Women on PDAs from “Simply Palm” to “Audrey”: How Moore's Law Met Parkinson's Law in the Kitchen

This essay investigates key moments in the history of personal digital assistant (PDA) marketing to women. Analyzing promotional texts for three PDAs that received considerable press coverage from 1999 to 2001, this essay explores the cultural significance of the convergence of anxieties about women's place in the gendered division of labor with the computer industry's changing marketing imperatives. Drawing on an array of promotional texts, including news articles, press releases, promotional Web sites, and ads appearing in newspapers and magazines, this paper tells the story of how the computer industry aimed to sell smaller, faster computing devices to women while promising to mediate and thus reproduce women's overwork as paid and familial laborers. After experimenting with the PDA as a sexy fashionable gadget for working women, marketers approached women as mothers with “Audrey,” an Internet appliance designed for the kitchen.     

Communicating With Bank Stakeholders During Recession: Why It's Important,Who Is Doing It,and How to Stay in the Loop

This study explores the attitudes and actions of bank managers toward communication spending during recession. Results of this study indicate that organizational leaders cut communication spending early during recession and also erroneously rely on the bank's financials to mitigate irrational customer withdrawals. This research is used to illustrate the need for public librarians to meet the needs of bank stakeholders when their institution ceases to communicate during crises, for academic librarians to educate students in undergraduate and graduate programs regarding heightened information needs during recession, and for corporate librarians to understand a potential avenue for competitive advantage during recession.
