中东欧国家的欧洲诉求

2015年1月1日,波罗的海国家立陶宛加入了欧元区,成为第19个成员国,也是中东欧地区第五个进入欧元区的国家。越来越多的中东欧国家加入欧盟和进入欧盟核心机制,重新激发起人们对中东欧国家之于欧盟、乃至整个欧洲意义的讨论。从2004年至今的十多年间,欧盟已经实现了三次东扩(2004年、2007年和2013年),中东欧16国中已有11个成为欧盟成员国,欧盟成员国也从15个增加到28个。与东扩前相比,欧

国际社群信息学研究的前沿进展与发展方向北大核心

社群信息学(CI)是一个关注社区和信息通信技术(ICT)的互动关系,探讨将ICT应用于赋能社区发展和实现社区目标的新兴领域,在欧美等地发展迅速且成果丰富。文章梳理了近十年国外CI的研究文献,从数字鸿沟成因、ICT接入、社群信息服务、ICT与社会资本关系和CI批判性思维等5个主题总结现有研究的主要内容;分析CI研究的发展趋势,包括跨学科、跨机构、跨地域研究,注重宏观与微观情境的识别和探知,重视基本理论的建设和完善,以及立足社会实践并适应社会需求;建议我国CI领域增强对国际CI研究经验的学习,促进学科与国际交流合作,加强CI领域的专业教育,推进CI教学、研究和实践融合,进而推动CI研究范式、理论与实践的发展。     

鼓励一下欧盟

诺贝尔和平奖可以给所有欧盟国家精英一些鼓励,不要让欧盟有崩离的倾向;给人民一些期许,期许人民了解得之不易的欧盟是需要彼此共同珍惜与维系挪威诺贝尔委员会主席贾格兰宣布欧盟为诺贝尔和平奖得主时称:"欧盟与其前身六十多年来致力于推展欧洲和平与和解、民主与人权,欧洲大半地区由战争之陆转化为和平之陆,欧盟居功至伟。"这段向欧盟致敬的文字,的确是事实。法国与德国这两个世仇,在不到一个世纪就进行三次全面战争后,终于放下武器。六十年前,欧洲基督教文明兄弟们仍处在冷战鸿沟的两端,柏林墙的倒塌只是去除了彼此的藩篱,在中东欧国家加入欧盟后,一个家庭式的欧洲才真正形成。从此以后,欧洲大陆上的基督文明弟兄们或许还有些龃龉,但是保证不会再兵戎相见。战争的鲜血固然促使

英文对外媒体的舆论导向把握

与国内中文媒体有所不同,对英文对外媒体来说,关于我国与西方主要国家和地区关系的报道具有更重的分量,其中,与美国、欧盟、日本、俄罗斯的国家关系是我国外交关系中的重中之重,加强对中美、中欧、中日和中俄关系报道的研究与策划、正确解读权威信息、增强认识能力和前瞻能力,对媒体坚持正确舆论导向、提高舆论引导能力十分重要.     

促进社会包容——美国社群信息学研究述评

随着社会结构中虚拟社区对传统社区的拓展和图书馆社区信息服务活动的延伸,社群信息学(CI)逐渐成为LIS研究的热点。CI产生于信息通讯技术(ICT)的应用实践,强调ICT与社群的互动与平衡,特别是利用ICT使一般社群、弱势群体、边缘化社群增强能力和获取权利,以缩小数字鸿沟,实现社会信息公平。CI研究的主要内容包括ICT有效使用和社区能力、CI行动的可持续发展和CI的社会包容性等。美国的CI实践形成了政府、地方、社区、学界四方合力、相互补充的发展模式,其典型的案例分别是技术机遇项目、社群信息学行动、社区技术中心和社区网络化行动。美国CI的理论与实践对我国社会管理创新和包容性增长具有借鉴意义。CI研究不仅能成为学科发展的增长点,也能为中国社区问题的解决提供一种切实可行的行动方案。     

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.
