关于出版资源聚集与运营的思考

出版资源究竟包含哪些内容,从狭义上看,出版资源主要是指作者资源和内容资源,是“出版生产的对象”;从广义上看,渠道资源、读者资源、人力资源、资金资源、物质资源、数据资源、政府资源等都是重要的出版资源,贯穿出版流程始终,对出版活动的开展有重要影响.本文所指的出版资源是广义的,是所有资源要素的统称.     

在“纸张崇拜”与“数字拥戴”之间——高校图书馆信息资源建设的困境与出路

文章阐述数字时代图书馆信息资源、技术方法和服务方式的转变,分析高校图书馆在数字资源建设中面临资源垄断、资源讹诈、资源壁垒、资源浪费、资源同质和阅读退化等困境,指出信息资源建设应该坚持纸本资源与数字资源并重,特别重视纸本资源建设,加强空间资源和文化资源建设。     

语文课程资源无处不在

所谓课程资源,有广义和狭义之分。广义的课程资源是指有利于实现课程目标的各种因素,如生态环境、人文景观、国际互联网络、教师的知识等;狭义的课程资源仅指形成课程的直接因素来源,典型的如教材、学科知识等。本文所谈为广义的课程资源。课程资源按功能,分为素材性课程资源、条件性课程资源;按空间的分布,分为校内课程资源、校外课程资源。课程资源包括课内资源、课外资源和信息技术。主要有三个来源：学生、社会、知识。     

对“编辑资源”的理论思考

编辑资源是编辑活动中涉及的社会资源的总和,是包含"物质资源"和"非物质资源"的综合体,主要由作者资源、内容资源、平台资源和受众资源四要素组成。在数字化背景下,编辑资源四要素发生了相应变化,表现在作者资源的多元化与竞争化、内容资源的海量化与碎片化、平台资源的网络化与融合化、受众资源的细分化与个性化。这些重大变革,呼唤并推动着"大编辑"思想理念和行为模式的产生。     

研究型大学科技资源配置与开发

研究型大学具有人才培养、科学研究和社会服务三大功能。这三大功能的实现都离不开科技资源的配置与开发。大学科技资源包括人力资源、财力资源、物质资源、信息资源和制度资源等,它们的优化配置和合理开发程度决定了大学三大功能的实现程度。在大学各类科技资源中,人力资源、财力资源和物质资源是基本资源,具有同等重要地位并且可相互转换、相互制约。制度资源是联系各类资源的纽带,决定各类资源的配置和使用效率。基本资源可派生或转化为其他资源。大学科技资源的配置和开发必须有利于大学功能的实现。     

宏观出版资源系统的理论研究

长期以来,传统的出版资源理论研究局限于出版信息资源、出版选题资源、出版人才资源几个狭义定义的资源管理,致使目前的出版资源观流于表层、狭隘、静态,造成出版理论的散乱.本文在综述出版资源类、资源科学类资源观后,分析了传统出版资源观的认识误区,提出新型的宏观出版资源观,并在宏观出版资源观指导下重新界定出版资源的集合.     

国外数字资源长期保存的热点问题研究

数字资源长期保存是应对数字资源的脆弱性和短暂性、保证数字资源的可持续利用而采取的必要措施。目前,很多国家对数字资源保存重要性的认识逐步加深,保存资源的范围不断扩大,主要关注数字资源保存的经济成本问题、数字资源的整合和互操作、数字资源长期保存的过程分析、数字资源的元数据及其互操作、长期保存活动的组织问题、数字资源的知识产权问题、数字资源保存系统等。     

语言资源观再议——语言资源的结构、开发和语言资源观的价值

资源性是语言的基本特征。语言资源带有个性特征的结构分布,主要有语音资源、词汇资源、语法资源和语义资源。语言资源的开发可以分为语音资源、词汇资源、语法资源和语义资源几个方面,资源的开发是个系统工程,开发的目的是为人类交际和语言研究服务。语言资源观的提出对认识和使用语言在理论和实践方面都有一定的价值。     

军队档案资源内涵及其构成

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.

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.
