数字图书馆存储解决方案的探讨

存储系统作为数字图书馆的支撑平台,是数字图书馆建设的一个基础和重要组成部分。本文介绍了数字图书馆存储方案的选择原则和目前应用于数字图书馆中的主流网络存储系统,系统地比较分析了SAN存储模式和SAN的三类网络存储架构,提出了适合数字图书馆建设的网络存储解决方案。     

From closet to library in the community hospital: remodeling a hospital medical library

Halifax District Hospital's Medical Library, Daytona Beach, Florida was altered from two dingy rooms to a modern, well-equipped Medical Library twice its former size by its maintenance men in six months time, with the help of the librarian's sketches and an architect student from the junior college to draw the plans.A complete renovation was done, eighteen-inch walls between rooms being demolished, plumbing, ceiling, and windows removed. These were all replaced with walnut-paneled walls, special 125 candle-power lighted ceiling, retractable shelves, more shelves for periodicals and books, wall-to-wall carpeting and fashionable decor. New furniture, tape recorders, and TWX were made possible by a Medical Library Resource Grant.The official opening was six months from the first day of renovation, with ribbon cutting, guests, hospital personnel, and a reporter from the newspaper to take pictures for an article about the most modern medical library in Volusia County.The new Medical Library is in the "core" of the Medical Education Department with space for five years growth.     

数字图书馆之忧思

目前阶段人们倡导和实践的数字图书馆与传统图书馆相比有着极大的优越性，然而也存在着不少缺陷，文章分析了数字图书馆在数字信息贮存、信息污染、网络安全方面存在的问题。指出在建设数字图书馆的同时，不应忽视纸型文献的收集、管理与保护。     

From gentleman’s club to the marketplace: the library experience

In March this year I retired after a library career spent almost entirely in one institution. From this limited experience I hope to draw examples of changes in the library world, and their consequences, which I believe have general application.     

从数字图书馆到数字空间

麻省理工(MIT)实验室和HP实验室共同研究开发了一个用于数字资源存储与管理的开放源代码系统——数字空间(DSpace)。本文主要介绍了DSpace的设计思想、功能以及对数字图书馆的拓展和实施。     

数字图书馆:体系结构与建设

数字图书馆体系结构的主要构件是数字对象、句柄和仓储.数字图书馆具有文献信息载体活化、馆藏结构和管理逻辑化、信息传递模式全双工化、语言高度抽象化等特征.数字图书馆建设的方法论层面主要包括:知识组织与管理、个性化定制服务、技术使用、资源建设等内容.     

Measuring the economic impact of the British library

Assessing the British Library's contribution to the national economy is a complex matter, requiring consideration of a number of different dimensions. First, the value added by the Library takes many forms—economic, cultural, social and intellectual. Second, the British Library adds value both to those who use our products and services directly, and to the wider UK population who benefit indirectly from the Library's existence and the services it provides. Traditionally, attempts to assess these benefits have taken the form of qualitative case studies—telling good stories, but failing to provide a comprehensive evaluation. But now a technique supported by the Nobel Prize winning economists, Kenneth Arrow and Robert Solow, permits a coherent quantitative evaluation of the total benefit to the nation of publicly funded institutions and programmes. Recognising the value of this technique, the British Library commissioned a groundbreaking research study to estimate the impact of the Library on the UK economy. The study demonstrates that the Library generates value of around 4.4 times the level of its annual public funding of £83m. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first time the ‘Contingent Valuation’ technique has been used to derive a figure for the overall economic impact of a national or major research library.     

从数字档案馆到移动数字档案馆：概念演进与功能拓展

随着科技的不断进步和信息化的快速发展,信息终端设备已经进入移动化时代,依托信息技术而发展起来的数字档案馆,也顺应时代变化而不断拓展和变革,向着移动数字档案馆不断演进。在演进的过程中,既有对数字档案馆的承继和依赖,也有与时俱进的拓展和创新,向着形式的移动化、资源的融通性、服务的泛在化、建设的协同性等方向发展。     

英国图书馆的电子期刊:从选择到存取

图书馆在文献载体的利用上正面临着一些真正的挑战——从电子资源的许可发行到法定缴存，本文就这两方面都进行了概述。非印刷型出版物(包括非在线电子载体)的自愿缴存的操作规则在出版商和法定版本缴存图书馆之间都是适用的，尽管印刷型期刊的发行缴存仍在提高。购买电子期刊是为了阅览室参考咨询和远程文献提供，统计显示阅览室对电子期刊的利用正在提高。图书馆正日益加强与其他部门的合作。并认为与相似机构的合作是最好的发展方式。     

从数字图书馆到e—learning2．0

21世纪e—learning（字化学习）进入2．0时代,学习者成为学习活动的中心,通过先进的平台技术及点对点（P2P）工具,学习者突破了时间、空间、语言的局限,数字图书馆加上e—learning造就了终身学习的理想平台。通过数字图书馆在e—learning领域的应用,展示了以学习者为中心的e—learning2．0的无限潜力。参考文献8。     

从云计算到个人数字档案馆

云计算是计算机网络发展的一个趋势,它代表了一种新的数据处理方式和未来人们的一种生活方式,虽然它的理论还不完善,实践还不丰富,但是它作为一种处理信息资源的超前理念,却给图书档案界带来了新的启示.本文就云计算的理念带来的启示以及借鉴个人数字图书馆的研究发展情况,对个人数字档案馆的基本概念进行了阐述.
