福建省医院图书馆调查报告

随着当代医学科学的迅猛发展,医务人员对知识的需求、信息提供的要求已日益提高,医院图书馆在医院工作和医学领域中的地位和作用更加重要和突出。为了解我省医院图书馆现况,我们于1994年底对全省医院图书馆进行了一次普查。从调查结果看,我省医院图书馆存在着诸多问题,尤其是人员素质偏低又不足,实际上已远远不能适应时代发展的需要。现将调查情况报告如下;     

医院图书馆与现代信息服务

医院图书馆是医学文献资源的主要集散地。由于信息技术的发展和用户信息需求的变化，迫切需要图书馆改进信息服务方式。通过分析目前我国医院图书馆的状况，探讨医院图书馆信息服务的问题，并提出一些相关的对策。     

论医院图书馆藏书体系的评价

医院图书馆是医院的一个重要组成部分，它是医院的文献信息交流中心，是为临床、教学及科研等各项工作收集、贮存、提供医学信息的专项工作收集、贮存、提供医学信息的专业机构。又是直接为临床和科研教学服务的学术性机构，在医院图书馆的各项工作中，藏书建设是搞好医学情报服务的基础，是发展医院图书馆工作的核心，衡量一所医院图书馆服务质量的高低，藏书的数量和质量是一一个很重要的指标。要加强医院图书馆藏书建设就必须经常对图书馆的藏书体系进行客观的、科学的评价，如果能够定期对医院图书馆的藏书体系作出评价，就能不断地改进和完善图书馆的藏书建设工作，更加充分地发挥其职能作用，积极推进图书馆工作的改革和发展，从而更好地为医院的临床、教学和科研服务。     

信息时代医院图书馆个性化信息服务探讨

新型个性化信息服务作为医院图书馆信息服务的主要发展方向，能够主动感知不同类别服务对象对个性化信息的需求，化被动为主动，进一步提高医院信息服务的效率。为此，本文从医院图书馆新的个性化信息服务理念着手，说明医院图书馆开展新的个性化服务是非常必要的。同时，从建立学科馆员制度和专家信息库、增加特色服务、追踪医学科研情报以及发展新的个性化信息服务技术等方面，简要分析医院图书馆发展新的个性化信息库的实施途径。     

医院图书馆信息服务策略研究

医疗事业的发展、医院的临床实践需要医学信息的支撑。医院图书馆应紧跟社会发展的脉搏,紧密围绕医院临床、医疗学科发展的实际积极开展特色信息服务。特色信息服务是医院图书馆需要面对的重要课题。     

宁波市各医院图书馆发展现状的调查分析

医院图书馆是医院的重要组成部分,是医学信息资源的聚集所和散发地。医院图书馆主要职责是为医院各部门提供情报的信息,保持或提高医院卫生技术人员竞争力所需的知识技能,是由特定的系统资源和服务构成的,随着新时期医学科学技术的进步和医院管理水平的不断提高对医院图书馆工作提出越来越高的要求。

医院图书馆模式初探

在卫生领域,医院医疗工作产生的经济效益必须回归到提升医院文化氛围、树立学科品牌和更好地为患者服务的＂软实力＂建设上来。医院图书馆作为医院文化的窗口和医学文献信息资源储藏、加工、服务的基地,是医院文化建设的重要部分。随着医院用户信息素养的增强和阅读习惯的改变,医院图书馆模式不断推陈出新。结合图书馆学理论和国内外医院图书馆建设实践,以二、三级医院图书馆为例,概述医院图书馆6种常见模式,以期加快其理论研究和机构发展进程。     

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.
