Mission-Focused Collections: Rebirth of the Seminarbibliothek as an Ebook Collection

German universities built over the years highly specialized book collections for use by faculty and graduate students. The German term, seminarbibliothek, is often applied to these types of collections, although examples can be found in universities across Europe. The purpose of this article is to examine a similar type of collection using ebooks in veterinary science and to compare this collection to the standard subject classified ebook collections. Most collection development in college and university libraries focuses on academic subjects. The type of collection being described here focuses on a mission. A mission-focused collection increases the use of library holdings and greatly benefits the stakeholders within the institution. This study looks at how such a collection might be formed and defined and what possible effects this might have on the use of collections of this type.     

基于流通数据的信息资源建设方法研究

网络环境下流通数据的可获得性明显提高,为利用流通数据开展信息资源建设研究提供了便利。本文提出从用户请求量和用户请求特征两个角度对流通数据展开分析。其中,用户请求量分析主要了解用户需求在不同学科间的分布,为学科之间的资源配置提供参考依据;用户请求特征分析了解用户需求模式,为不同学科资源遴选标准的建立提供借鉴。实证研究结果表明本文提出的方法能为优化图书馆信息资源建设提供有力支撑。     

Collection Development Assessment for New Collection Development Librarians

A number of articles have been written in the past several years that provide practical advice for librarians new to collection development, particularly in terms of understanding terminology, learning collection development processes, and gaining familiarity with one's library and institution. This article furthers this discussion, but with attention to working in collection development within the OhioLINK consortial environment. In order to thrive in this environment, new bibliographers are benefited by becoming familiar with and using data such as usage statistics, consortium reports, and peer institution statistics to develop and expand collections in one's assigned disciplines. Attention is also given to creating subject collection statements, faculty networking, and colleague assistance. The writer, himself relatively new to collection development, provides insights and perspectives on these matters, chiefly applicable to others new to collection development.

Collection Development for Macao Studies - A User Perspective

This study was conducted to investigate scholars’ views on the development of resources for Macao studies. The research process and method used in this study could be adopted by institutions considering a new direction for special collections or a new collection focus for a library.

The semi-structured interview methodology was adopted and a homogenous group of 35 researchers were interviewed. The results revealed the difficulties scholars have in locating information on the current Macao-related material along with recommendations.

Elevating the Student Assistant: An Integrated Development Program for Student Library Assistants

Libraries depend upon student workers to assist in the day-to-day operations of a unit. The range of activities varies, as does the amount of flexibility given to students to go beyond the routine. This case study details an approach that was shaped based on student input and creative brainstorming to engage and involve student workers in new ways as well as strategies to elevate their leadership roles. The approach encourages students to contribute their particular strengths and expertise in ways that not only enhance the library's mission but also elevate their experience at the library.     

读者阅读需求与公共图书馆馆藏建设——以湖北省图书馆的读者调查为例

通过对湖北省图书馆的读者调查表明:公共图书馆读者需求最多的三类图书分别是文学类、综合类和工业技术类图书,而且这种需求与其阅读兴趣基本上是一致的;公共图书馆读者阅读目的最主要的是为了提高知识和涵养水平,为了休闲和为了满足工作需要;读者最突出的意见是新书太少。因此,公共图书馆的馆藏建设应突出知识性、文艺性,兼顾趣味性和实用性,要反映知识更新和社会需求变化。表6。参考文献3。     

图书馆馆藏建设新元素——数据集

随着定量分析研究的增多,学者们对数字数据的需求不断增加,数据集日益成为馆藏建设的新领域.文章阐述了数据集类型及获取途径,分析了图书馆在自建和引进数据集中应注意的问题,提出图书馆应积极占领数据集市场,与数据集生产商相抗衡.     

馆藏发展中的不同价值观及其质疑问题研究

近年来,图书馆核心价值观的研究日益得到重视,其研究成果将促使人们思考具体的非核心价值观的存在形式。在馆藏发展中,常见的价值观有5种:重藏观、经典文献收藏观、符合主流文化价值的藏书观、教化的收藏价值观、科学发展的藏书观。馆藏发展中的不同价值观都有其各自的优缺点,并受到一些专家、学者的质疑,值得图书馆界同仁深思。     

Citation Analysis as a Tool for Collection Development and Instruction

The authors analyzed bibliographies from three departments’ undergraduate senior theses, with the goal of improving both collection development and information literacy instruction. Though undergraduate students were not citing major journals or key authors, the study revealed popular research topics, which will inform collection development. The finding that the library owned 70% of the journal articles undergraduates cited suggests that they are more likely to cite what their own institution owns, and thus a strong collection can have a significant influence on undergraduate work. The data also prompted conversations with faculty about their expectations and current strategies for guiding undergraduate research, which will allow librarians to improve instruction.

A New Tool for Collection Assessment: One Library's Response to the Calls to Action Issued by Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission

ABSTRACT

The University of Manitoba's Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library is a recognized leader in Indigenous and circumpolar health for establishing the Aboriginal Health Collection in 1997, the first discrete collection of materials on the health of Indigenous peoples located in an academic health sciences library in Canada. This article describes the history, development, and scope of what is now known as the Indigenous Health Collection. In June 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) issued the calls to action as part of its mandate to gather information and document the history of Indian Residential Schools and their legacy for all Canadians. The ninety-four calls to action provide clear guidance to governments, institutions, and people to initiate changes to address the legacy in a spirit of true reconciliation. The Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library was uniquely positioned to respond to the TRC calls to action. The enduring legacy of the residential schools and other discriminatory government policies is one that continues to impact the health status of many people in Canada who identify as Indigenous, First Nations, Metis, Inuit, or Aboriginal. The Indigenous Health Collection includes materials on the health, wellness, and lived experience of Indigenous peoples, the determinants that impact health, and publications documenting community-based and academic research and knowledge. This article provides an example of how an academic health sciences library used the seven TRC calls to action related to health as a framework to assess the resources and collections relied on by educators and students in the health professions.
