走进普遍均等服务时代：近年来我国公共图书馆服务体系构建研究

近年来,在普遍均等服务目标驱动下,我国政府和图书馆界在基层图书馆建设、总分馆建设、区域性服务网络建设等方面开展了一系列创新活动,该三方面也因此构成新时期我国公共图书馆服务体系建设的主要内容。虽然各种创新模式为现行体制下的公共图书馆服务体系积累了普遍均等服务经验,但要实现真正意义的普遍均等服务,还需要对公共图书馆服务体系进行更进一步的体制变革,即对公共图书馆的建设主体和管理单元重新做出界定。参考文献3。     

农村基层图书馆可持续发展制度设计探究

农村基层图书馆的建设直接关系到能否构建覆盖全社会的公共图书馆服务体系,实现普遍均等服务的目标.文章从公共图书馆治理单元和建设主体设置模式的角度,分析了制约农村图书馆发展的制度因素,对如何构建农村公共图书馆服务体系,促进其可持续发展进行制度再设计.     

普遍均等服务在公共图书馆的践行

自由地进入图书馆查阅利用各类文献,参加图书馆各种读书活动,均等地获取信息是广大公众的文化权益在图书馆的最基本体现。公共图书馆应通过信息资源普及、注重人文关怀、开展公益活动、创新服务模式来践行公共图书馆普遍均等的服务理念。     

实事求是 科学发展 创新公共文化传播体系——黑龙江省"共享工程"创新探索与思考

全国文化信息资源共享工程是依托各级公共图书馆服务网络,实现公共文化服务普遍均等、惠及全民的文化创新工程。做为共享工程省级分中心的省图书馆,必须强化创新思维,以科学发展观统领全省共享工程信息资源建设、基层支中心及乡村服务网点的设施建设、传输技术平台建设;带动全省共享工程全面发展、协调发展、可持续发展;创新全省"公共文化传播体系"。黑龙江省共享工程在建设中进行了一些创新探索与思考。     

吴江市乡镇分馆建设的实践与体会

乡镇图书馆是公共图书馆服务从城市向农村延伸,并在农村实现普遍均等的首要环节。乡镇图书馆的兴衰见证了我国历次基层图书馆建设运动的跌宕起伏。在全覆盖和普遍均等的前提下,吴江市的乡镇图书馆建设和发展虽历尽曲折,但借助总分馆制这种经济高效的组织形式和服务模式,又开始逐步兴旺发展起来。通过实践,我们逐步发现了总分馆制的一些规律,也使我们体会到总分馆制的政府主导并非简单的发文和给资金,而是制度必须符合总分馆制的内在规律。     

汕头市公共图书馆服务体系探索与实践

汕头市图书馆以“汕头市公共图书馆一证通项目”建设为契机,联合市、区(县)各公共图书馆,创新图书馆馆际合作机制,创建“汕头市公共图书馆一证通项目”联盟,打造“汕头市公共图书馆一证通项目”网络数据中心、技术平台以及全媒体服务平台,并启动智能化图书馆建设,探索市、区(县)各馆总分馆服务体系建设,为读者提供普遍均等的公共图书馆服务.     

城乡一体化进程中公共图书馆建设模式研究

公共图书馆作为公共文化服务体系的重要组成部分,对促进城乡一体化发展具有重要意义。近年来,各地政府按照普遍均等服务原则在构建公共图书馆服务体系方面取得了较大进展,基本形成了全国行政区划全覆盖的图书馆服务网络。但是,投入不足、结构不合理、发展不平衡的问题仍较为突出,尤其是县以下基层图书馆的建设是最为薄弱的环节。加快公共图书馆建设,除各级政府高度重视、进一步加大投入外,还应不断创新公共图书馆建设模式,以期尽早实现普遍均等服务的目标。     

保定市公共图书馆总分馆制建设模式研究

公共图书馆总分馆制被认为是实现普遍均等图书馆服务体系建设的最佳模式。保定市目前的图书馆规模不达标,服务较落后,建设总分馆体系势在必行。保定市可从政府主导、多级投入、集中管理、馆际联盟四个方面来探索建设城乡一体化总分馆制公共图书馆服务体系。     

基于“两层四级”的市、区(县)公共图书馆服务网络建设——以南京模式为例

在信息社会环境下,为了落实、推进公共文化服务体系的建设,实现均等性、公益性、基本性、便利性的目标,图书馆需要创新发展理念、提升服务技术。该文以南京市各级公共图书馆的合作联盟模式为例,阐述了一种创新的"类总分馆模式"。     

江阴市图书馆总分馆建设初探

县级图书馆是公共图书馆服务体系全覆盖的重要节点。江阴市图书馆从自身实际出发,探索构建具有江阴特色的总分馆模式。文章从树立普遍均等理念、反思万册图书馆失败教训、探索新一轮总分馆建设的实践,到分析存在问题、思考完善总分馆建设、管理和服务的方式方法,以期实现总分馆持续发展,从而使公共图书馆服务体系继续向农村延伸。     

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.
