口述史、影像史与中国记忆资源建设

口述史学、影像史学主要通过录音、摄像、电影、电视、多媒体、互联网等现代技术进行展示,大大拓展了传统史学的叙述范围,并使普通民众对于历史的认知变得触手可及。中国记忆资源建设正是通过口述史、影像史等资料的采集整理,以中国现当代重大历史事件、重要人物为专题,建设新型文献资源,保存国家记忆,保护非物质文化遗产,实现"为国存史,为民立传"的宗旨。与传统文献或普通数字文献相比,中国记忆的文献来源与获取方式、文献加工与发布方式不同,其资源采集大致经历选题策划、草拟大纲、联系对象、组织队伍、准备器材、咨询专家、现场采访、口述文稿处理、音视频资料剪辑等步骤,其中,选题策划、草拟大纲与文稿处理尤为重要。

期刊·流派·文学史

现代文学文化流派的形成与期刊关系至为紧密,1920年代和战时的流派多以同人杂志为思想文化阵营,1930年代流派往往以实力雄厚的商业杂志为依托,广泛吸引作者和读者.多数刊物流派在自我形象的建构上颇为留意,成为文学史写作的重要依据.     

Patent basics: History, background, and searching fundamentals

The U.S. patent system and the body of issued patents are key elements in meeting information needs related to technology and innovation. Most librarians, however, have little understanding of the value of patents as sources of technological information—and less knowledge about how to help users tap what has been called, “the largest and most comprehensive body of technological literature in the world.” This article attempts to provide a sufficient background on patent fundamentals to allow librarians to assist or refer users who would benefit by the use of patents. Detailed patent searching instructions are provided for staff in Government Printing Office depository libraries to use materials available through the depository program. The value of utilizing one of the 58 Patent depository libraries to enhance and expedite the search process is highlighted, and online searching options are introduced.

美国哥伦比亚大学口述史研究管窥

人类活动的历史是以语言和文字两种方式传诵的.在文字发明以前,所有的历史都是口述史(0ral History).即使在被视为"信史"的档案文献中,也有相当部分是由言传口述转化而来的.直至二十世纪四十年代以前,世界各国的学者们还是主要通过档案文献来研究人类过去的活动,自那以后,当事人、见证者的证言价值被一些有识之士重新发现,并进而加以深度发掘,由此开辟出历史研究的一片新领域,这就是现代口述史的兴起.     

没有历史的技术：民族志、物质性与新闻业的变迁

本文通过梳理两条不同的学术脉络来探讨技术、历史、新闻和民族志之间的关系。本文首先讨论了"组织化的时间旅行"(organizational time travel)这一概念的内涵,及其在《做新闻》(Making News)、《什么在决定新闻》(Deciding What’ s News)和《新闻的数字化》(Digitizing the News)这三部重要的新闻民族志研究著作中被运用的方式。本文认为,民族志方法为了更顺畅地融入历史学和社会学理论,采取既将自身"置于某一特定时刻",又尝试"脱离具体情境"的策略。此外,本文还分析了哈罗德·英尼斯(Harold Innis)、艾瑞克·亥乌络克(Eric Havelock)、沃尔特·翁(Walter Ong)和詹姆斯·凯瑞(James Carey)等人的"媒体生态学"(media ecology)研究,认为细化的、针对特定地点的新闻田野工作能够丰富更广泛的、全方位的文化史并为其开拓新的研究领域。最后,本文认为,我们应当至少部分地将新闻室民族志看作人文学术的一种实践,并将其与社会科学等而视之。

Authorship,Gender, and Institutional Affiliation in Library History:

Library historians can learn a great deal from studying the gender of authorship and institutional affiliation of a scholarly journal. The focus of this study is to examine these two aspects of journal production in library history to see who is producing published research in this field. Twenty-three years of Libraries & Culture were chosen as the target volumes. The study reveals that more men than women published in library history as well as locating which institutions were represented. This type of information is usedful to the library historian engaged in the analysis of published scholarship, and more generally to scholars with an interest in patterns of literature production in fields closely related to the social and behavioral sciences.
