我们现在没有了古旧书店

世界上许多城市都有以古旧书店闻名的街道,比如东京的神保町、伦敦的查令十字路、巴黎的塞纳河畔.但在中国,除了去过的北京的琉璃厂,听说过但没去过的台湾的牯岭街,就几乎没有听说过哪里有这样的古旧书店聚集的地方.然而,当东京、巴黎的这些旧书店继续以都市的文化地标骄傲地每年举办活动和旧书展,吸引世界各地的文化人、爱书人去参观、逛游时,我们的北京琉璃厂却在淡出中国图书的历史舞台--现在每年图书出版界的三次大集市:北京图书订货会、全国书市、北京世界图书博览会当然也一直与它完全沾不上边.为什么伴随着国内出版业一派高歌、蓬勃发展的,却是古旧书店的没落?     

华文少儿图书的未来

康德将人类的活动分为三类:实际的、认识论的和美学的.往昔讲求实际的商业活动与讲求认知的科学活动,对于美和艺术是不能染指的.但随着时代变迁,文学、艺术早己不再超然,它们从宫廷、贵族、沙龙那里走入十丈红尘.而所谓的后现代社会的来到,则更是彻头彻尾地将商品化的逻辑渗入到这个领域之中.解构的活动无时无刻不在进行,作品摇身变为商品,文学的主体也自作者灵魂深处异化为与读者的对话和诠释.如今,读者论高举的旗帜是:作品的诞生不在文本完成之时,亦不在出版的当下,而在于有人开始阅读.尽管作品的价值和阅读人数的多寡并无一定关系,但阅众的多寡却可以决定作品的生死存亡.     

灵活机动、出奇制胜的对敌斗争方式

抗日战争期间,在广袤的华北大地上,面对日寇铁蹄的肆意践踏,面对他们的疯狂掠夺和非人奴役,中国共产党领导的人民武装奋起抵抗。八路军、游击队、民兵以及成千上万普通的老百姓深入敌后,运用灵活机动的战略战术,开展广泛的游击战,不仅将敌人后方变成抗日前线,更逐步使之上升为中国抗战的主战场。中国军民以保家卫国必胜的坚定信念和顽强的抗争精神,通过灵活多样的斗争方式,凭借自身的智慧和各方面的支持、配合,出没于日军的周围,以弱胜强、出奇制胜,给日本侵略者以猛烈的打击。     

苦难中的守望与坚持

幸福的家庭往往是相似的,而不幸的家庭却各有各的不幸.眼前这张影调沉重的照片,讲述的正是一个充满不幸而近乎绝望的家庭.一家四口,妈妈和妹妹都是智障,爸爸偏瘫.定格的画面中,20岁的曾秋玲站在潮湿阴暗的屋里眼望窗外,满面愁容.一束明媚的阳光,透过窗口倾泻而下,照亮了女孩充满青春的脸庞;可面对家庭的重负与生活的艰辛,即使再温暖的光线,恐怕也驱不走她心头的阴霾.不用花哨的技巧,无须精心的布建,这或许就是摄影大师布勒松所定义的"决定性瞬间":故事的核心人物、典型的环境场景、朴素的光影对照、恰当的几何安排、饱满的情感张力,所有的摄影语言,在强有力地发挥了影像的"呈现"功能之外,也尽可能地彰显了影像的"表达"功能,尝试将读图者置身于拍摄现场,让你我对主人公的处境和命运感同身受.     

探求城市的孤独——读《〈纽约客〉故事集》

城市,也许就是一座装满孤独的牢笼.越繁华,就藏有越多的故事;越多的故事发生,就衍生出来越多的孤独.这些孤独写在街边的角落、窗户的护栏、楼梯的扶手、避雷的天线和旗杆上,每一道印记都是抓挠、锯锉、刻凿、猛击留下的痕迹.纽约客的孤独,被安·比蒂——当代美国文坛中才华横溢、成绩斐然的女作家——写在《纽约客》上,被她暗藏在她小说中一个个鲜活的人物里.     

河东六月天

青绿的麦苗在6月的热风和暴烈的阳光下成熟了、饱满大地的金黄和热烈的丰收催促着辛勤的农人。这是一个繁忙的季节。这是一个收获的季节。麦浪翻滚,如此绚丽,金黄的色彩,是土地     

古籍版本与古医籍整理及其编辑要点

何谓古籍版本?简言之,就是同一部古书在不同历史时期的不同刊本.我国的古代图书,历经了千年的风雨变迁、兵燹水火,其脱讹散佚者颇为严重.其间,屡经历代传抄影写与刻印,形成了各种版本之间的差异.诸如内容的增删修改,刻写的字体大小,版面的长短阔窄,印刷的精良粗陋,以及装订的精美简易等,均有所不同.版本不仅限于木版雕刻的书本,在印刷术发明之前,书写在竹简木牍和锦帛上的本子,以及后世的活字排版、照像石印、铅字排印等书本,均属于版本的范畴.

"中国最美的书"是怎样走向莱比锡的

我国的图书走向世界有多个方面和多种渠道,除了华文书的直销、外文版的直销以及版权贸易以外,参加各种国际评奖也是一个重要的方面.由于图书内容的千差万别,难以有一个国际标准,所以目前有关书籍的评奖主要集中在印刷和设计上.近年华文书在国际印刷和设计方面频频得奖,对于传播中华文化和改变国外同业对华文书的看法,也产生了积极的影响.上海新闻出版局从2002年起,做了组织"中国最美的书"参评莱比锡"世界最美的书"的工作,现将有关情况以及我们的认识汇报如下:     

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.     

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.

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.     

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.

Do their recent actions post mergers and acquisitions illustrate a predicable pattern of behaviour that publishers can strategize around? 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.     

Device-Driven Research: The Impact of Chromebooks in American Schools

Chromebooks and the G Suite group of products, like Google Search, Gmail, and Google Docs, have rapidly expanded in American schools during the past 5 years. The impact of one-to-one Chromebook devices and the pervasive use of Google's software products in American education cannot be overstated. This article explores some of the influences of these products on research, based on the experiences of a librarian and technology coordinator at an elementary education level. The author has several suggestions for effective research with these products in mind.
