公共广播电视:变与不变之间

1926年英国关于公共广播的政治决定诞生了世界上第一个制度意义上的公共广播电台。公共广播的制度设计最初是建立在一些不甚明晰的原则性理念之上的。随着实践的发展和学理的总结,这些理念逐步清晰,并日益完善,这些理念是世界广播电视的宝贵财产。本文试图清理数字时代公共广播理念的和现实的变迁,以寻求公共广播的实质精神及其当代含义。本文分为三个部分,首先介绍公共广播的理想信念的发展,其后说明公共广播实践的历史变迁,最后分析公共广播变化的概念和不变的价值——它的服务使命和核心制度。     

The Culture of Technical Services

Summary

Libraries are reevaluating technical services processes and making technological, organizational, and workflow changes in order to optimize productivity with ever shrinking resources and provide effective user services in the rapidly changing information environment. However, regardless of how much tinkering we do with streamlining processes, little will change until the culture of technical services changes. This workshop discusses the culture of the library profession and presents a case study of one library's attempt to transform that culture.     

The Public Library Services in Nigeria:

The article highlights the functions of the public Ii- brary. It acknowledges the contributions of some authors on the pat- tern and development to the literature of public library services in Nigeria and then analyzes the characteristics of the services. The concept and processes of Information and Referral (I & R) service are explained. There is a recommendation that public library should set up I & R service to enhance the awareness of public library ser- vices. The problems likely to militate against an efficient I & R ser- vice are examined. It avers that there are good prospects for an I & R service in Nigeria and urges the public libraries to embark on the service.     

Effect of Multiculturalism and Automation on Public Library Collection Development and Technical Services

SUMMARY

The Internet, as well as the proliferation of online resources available for purchase, has significantly changed collection management from selection to acquisitions to cataloging and processing. The nature of this work has become much more complex as our communities have become more culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse, as the number of information delivery mechanisms has increased, and as library consumers' expectations for speed of receipt of information have accelerated.

Reference Librarians and Technical Services Librarians:

The relationship between reference librarians and technical services librarians has often been strained. In our changing technological and organizational environment, it is imperative that reference librarians and technical services librarians share responsibility for improving this relationship. One way for this to take place is for individuals to become more "accountable" to their colleagues. This article provides accountability guidelines for both reference and technical services librarians which, if followed, can result in increased communication and a better understanding of the roles, concerns, and needs of both reference and technical services librarians.
