零外借率探微

目前零外借率研究中还存在着许多问题,没有实际流通外借的图书,不能视为零外借现象。零外借率计算公式应为:零外借率=某些品种图书从未被读者外借的总册数/实际流通图书的总册数×100%;此公式是在针对某些特定的读者群体和图书的半衰期两个前提而言的;零外借率不能评价采访质量,只是参考指标;它既有利又有弊,不可能消除,只能控制在一定范围。零外借率研究深层次引出了许多文献信息资源建设和制度方面的问题。     

C2C视角下馆外图书流通服务研究与实践

[目的/意义] 图书流通服务是图书馆的基础工作之一,随着数字化阅读的发展,纸质图书借阅量逐年下降,同时受限于场地、资金问题,图书复本数减少,导致图书流通过程中读者体验感降低。本研究旨在通过简化图书流通过程中的部分环节,缩短读者借阅的等待时间,提高图书流通率。[方法/过程] 在调研国内外相关研究与实践的基础上,提出C2C（Consumer to Consumer）视角下馆外图书流通服务,通过该服务读者间可以不通过图书馆的流通系统和工作人员,在实体图书馆之外完成图书的转借。本研究从具体实践出发,并结合问卷调查,了解该服务存在的问题并提出相应解决措施。[结果/结论] 实践表明,C2C视角下馆外图书流通服务减少了传统图书流通过程中"一还一借"流程,尤其是在馆藏资源复本有限的情况下,能节约读者时间,提高读者阅读意愿和满意度,同时可以盘活馆藏资源,提高图书流通率。在一定程度上推动了图书流通服务创新和图书流通服务模式变革。     

31种科技期刊发行量调查及其对广告客户的影响

通过了解31种科技期刊印数、实际发行量及其广告价格,分析实际发行量与公布的发行量的关系,以及广告价格与发行量的关系.结果表明,平均发行量为3 840册,普遍存在虚报现象,平均虚报百分率为290.5%,广告报价与期刊发行量的相关系数为0.16.认为期刊社提供的发行量与实际发行量出入很大,为了适应我国加入WTO后的形势,应当成立类似于美国发行量设计局(ABC)之类的审计机构.     

图书馆图书流通工作管理的几点思考

Displays and Displacement of Circulation

Studies of displays have, in the main, been limited to examining the effect of the display phenomenon on the items on display. An experiment involving eight small public libraries in one Illinois library system tested the broader effect of displays on tumover rate and total circulation. Results found that displaying books from the adult circulating collection did not significantly increase overall library circulation or circulation of adult books. While books on display may circulate more often, there is evidence that this circulation is displaced from other areas of the collection.     

A Look at Circulation Statistics

ABSTRACT

Nearly all academic libraries keep circulation statistics which are often shared with their parent university, library consortia, and national organizations. This study attempted to discover what goes into circulation statistics by surveying Southeastern research libraries. Libraries were asked what they count in their circulation statistics and what their circulation policies are to identify differences across libraries. The results of the survey indicate that there is no set formula for counting circulation statistics.     

论流通部的"流通"问题

调查数据显示,我馆图书馆流通服务亟待加强。本文结合工作实践,提出具体的改进措施,比如实行完全细排架,及时修订书目,做读者的好向导和采访的好参谋等,以此发掘外借潜力,体现流通价值。     

从图书馆的核心价值探讨图书馆流通业务外包之利弊

从图书馆的核心价值出发,分析了流通业务外包的利弊,提出读者服务工作是图书馆核心价值的重要组成部分,流通服务工作是读者服务工作的主要形式,是体现图书馆核心价值的重要工作。流通业务外包虽然能够解决人员不足的困难,提高工作效率,但存在的种种弊端阻碍了图书馆核心价值在流通服务工作中的完全实现。流通业务外包弊大于利,不是图书馆的发展方向。

有效发行:一只中国报刊改革演进中的“麻雀”

本文借助对“有效发行”这只“麻雀”的剖析,探讨中国报刊改革的演进与得失,认为非经济性效能目标与经济性效能目标的混合是困扰“有效发行”解读的原因。本文认为,完整的市场经济体系是市场和政府协同的结果,市场主要解决效率问题,而政府主要解决公平问题,在市场失灵的社会传播空间内,正是政府的管理价值凸现的地带。市场与非市场的分离是走出上述体制迷局的可能性路径。     

Interfacing OCLC and dataphase for an automated acquisitions system

Installation of the Dataphase online circulation system at the Kornhauser Health Sciences Library, University of Louisville, required creation of an interface between the new circulation system and the acquisitions process. Now edited OCLC records are used to print multi-part order/processing forms on a compressed-type printer. The information is transferred into the circulation system to create an active inventory. The result is a practical acquisition system for a medium-sized professional school library at minimal cost.     

网络环境下馆员流通服务工作驱动力缺失的防治

文献流通服务是图书馆的一项重要的中心工作.在信息化网络化条件下,它仍然是图书馆工作的重中之重.然而,在传统观念束缚下的认识偏见和实际工作中存在的轻视流通服务的倾向,却使驱动力缺失,妨碍着图书馆工作的深入开展.图书馆要在机遇和挑战中发展前进,就必须转变观念,紧紧围绕读者服务这个中心,采取切实可行的有力举措,提升馆员的整体素质,努力为读者提供优质高效的文献信息服务,促进图书馆流通服务工作的深化与发展.

Testing for Markov-Chain Properties in the Circulation of Humanities Monographs

The data for the study are based on the circulation history of the unique copy of selected humanities monograph titles obtained from The Ohio State University. Tests of the time independence of the circulation data revealed a time dependence in 13 of the 14 data sets. Tests of the Markovity of the circulation data where second order Markovity is assumed and first order Markovity is tested revealed 11 of the 14 data groups to be without Markovity. It appears from this study that direct tests of the Markovity of library circulation data should be conducted before models based on the assumption of Markovity are used.     

A Sixty Year History and Analysis of the Japanese Publishing Industry: A Statistical Analysis of Circulation

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how changes in the social environment of print media have affected the history of the Japanese publishing industry in the postwar period. Data on the circulation of books, magazines, and newspapers are analysed on a population basis. The results of these analyses show that per-capita circulation of these media increased almost monotonically until the 1980s, but then began to decrease after peaking in the 1990s. After conducting statistical correlation analyses, we conclude that per-capita circulation was affected by economic trends indicated by the GDP growth rate. Our analyses also show a positive correlation between the pace of change in per-capita book and magazine circulation, and this reciprocal relationship is investigated in detail.     

The Economic Advantage of Being the “Voice of the Majority”

This article analyzes price competition in a duopolistic newspaper industry, where politically differentiated newspapers compete in 2 distinct markets: circulation and advertising. Assuming that 1 of the newspapers represents the “voice of the majority,” the theory of the circulation spiral is investigated and whether the interdependence between newspapers' demands in the circulation and advertising markets favors the majority's newspaper to the detriment of the minority's newspaper is investigated.     

图书馆借阅量实行需求配额管理探讨

图书馆借阅量配额管理是一种主动配额管理.图书馆存在配额数量偏低引发资源闲置、配额依据缺失导致人书错位、配额时间固定影响流通效果等问题,主要是受图书馆自身的观念、技术、环境以及读者的阅读诉求等方面的影响.图书馆需要从树立更为开放的流通理念、注重数字化图书馆建设、升级借阅系统功能、促进图书馆转型等方面加以解决.     

从采访视角看图书馆流通馆员

User Education on Circulation Policies

ABSTRACT

Today's sophisticated circulation services and circulation policies, together with the ease of disseminating data in the Information Era, pose challenges to libraries. Library users are expected to be informed in advance of the policies they are supposed to observe when using the circulation services, instead of being told after the occurrence of an incident that they have not followed the policies and thus need to bear the consequences. User education can no longer be restricted to bibliographic instruction in its traditional sense but should cover circulation policies as well. User education on circulation policies needs to be concerted, well planned, and innovative. Some approaches to user education on circulation policies are discussed.     

再论零外借现象——从采访馆员的视角

借助中文社科书库流通管理系统的数据,对西安交通大学图书馆的零外借案例具体分析,认为过高的零外借率形成原因,有剔旧工作滞后、巡架理架不及时、图书宣传不力、编目工作失误,但采访工作负有最重要责任。从采访角度提出控制零借阅的有效措施:全盘统筹,制定藏书建设方针;深入调查读者需求,引入读者决策采购模式;面对复杂多变的图书市场,选书时谨慎从事。
