"报道"还是"放弃"

一个新闻记者的业务功底,不仅表现在捕获新闻线索的能力上,还表现在对新闻信息的解析、评判和取舍能力上.在筛选稿件过程中能果断放弃同样需要功底--而且是硬功底.     

"防火墙"与"桥头堡"

经济全球化并不等于文化全球化.某些西方国家以其强势经济推行其文化观念,企图在全世界实施文化霸权.作为一名编辑人员,应该对这一点保持清醒的认识和高度的警惕.学习、吸收、借鉴外国的先进文化是我们发展民族文化的必要组成部分,但这并不等于"全盘吸收",更不是"全盘西化".作为西方文化渗透的第一防线,编辑人员首先要起到"防火墙"的作用.

"规定动作"与"自选动作"

评论员文章从立意的来源来看,可以分为两类,一类可以称之为程序性文章,主要是配合中央和省委的一些重要会议、领导人讲话等刊发的,以宣传和贯彻落实中央与省委的会议精神、学习领会领导人讲话为目的,这类文章内部一般称为“规定动作”。     

"作嫁"与"作家"

编辑者,"作嫁"也,就是"为他人作嫁衣裳"的人.人们以此称誉编辑,不少编辑也以此自况."为人作嫁何时休,见伊风光酸溜溜."内心如此感喟的编辑倘若有,想必也极少.多数编辑还是以"为人作嫁"为职志,奉之为荣业的.

医学期刊应正确使用"隔"与"膈"和"漏"与"瘘"

"隔"与"膈"隔(g啨)《现代汉语词典》释义1对其解释为"遮断;阻隔。如隔河相望、隔着一重山等"。膈(g啨)《现代汉语词典》的解释为"人或哺乳动物胸腔和腹腔之间的膜状肌肉。收缩时胸腔扩大,松弛时胸腔缩小。旧称横膈膜"。这2个字在医学论文中的误用源于"纵隔"与"横膈"的使用。纵隔是两侧纵隔胸膜之间所有器官的总称,它们借疏松的     

说"雌"、"雄"

"雌"和"雄"是古代汉语里两个常用词,有着极其丰富的文化蕴涵.本文从不同角度,探讨了其在自然层面和社会层面的诸多意蕴.作者认为:"雌"、"雄"反映了古代先民对于自然现象和社会生活的认知、分类、解释和评价,其语义场生动地表达了中国古代这样一种世界观:人类主体与自然万物共存,自然法则与社会准则统一、人间道德与天地节律相应.

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.
