读启功自述，就像在照镜子

专家点评: 观察当今世风,有无"读书热"尚不敢说,而"出书热"是绝对有的.其他不论,单说自个儿写自个儿、儿女写老子的自述性、传记性、回忆性作品就足以使人眼花缭乱、目不暇接.历史是丰富多彩的,只有官修志书、而无民间参与的有血有肉的人物详记,就不能说是真实地再现了历史.从这一点上讲,传述性图书写作热是一件大好事.但好事归好事,确也有一个必须严格守住的底线,这就是尊重历史、实事求是.然而有些作品却并不能做到这一点,故弄玄虚、夸大溢美、凭空编造、牵强附会……     

Making your collections work for you: collection evaluation myths & realities

Ten myths surrounding evaluation of library collections are debunked and the realities explored, especially those that can subvert the success of strategic planning for the collections. To make collections work pay off for a library and its users, librarians need to gain profound knowledge of their collections and know how they are used. Fundamental to success in these endeavors is evaluating the collections on a regular basis and using the results to build better collections for the future. Establishing what “good” is in objective terms and ways of measuring them is discussed. Using the results to gain friends and influence people toward the library is described. Readers are urged to do all they can to turn this potential into reality.     

我国网络隐私权的行业自律保护:现状、问题与对策

我国网络隐私权的行业自律保护存在一些问题:整个互联网行业对网络隐私权的保护操作性不强;多数网站没能在显著的位置张贴隐私权保护声明;一些网站即使张贴了隐私权声明,仍形同虚设.要让行业自律在保护网络隐私权方面发挥作用,首先,应加强政府对行业自律保护网络隐私权的行政监管;其次,中国互联网协会、中国电子商务诚信联盟等行业组织应该发挥更为积极的作用;再次,各网站应制定严格的网络隐私权保护制度;最后,应发动网民监督各网站对网络隐私权的保护.     

按需分配:馆藏建设的市场原则——兼论合理馆藏结构的形成

设立图书馆的经济目的是为了节省读者获取文献的成本,图书馆的经济效益表现为在一定的资金投入下为读者共同节省的获取文献的成本。为了达到经济效益的最大化,图书馆必须选择需求重叠度较高的文献,进而表明,图书馆应承担读者的共同文献需求。预知某种文献的利用人数要借助于信息网络,让读者选择文献。读者需求机制下的馆藏结构以不设置保障性文献为宜,应由专门机构发挥文献保障作用。合理的馆藏结构主要是读者的共同文献需求、购置经费和文献的老化三者共同作用的结果。     

选谁做你的导师

有些人总喜欢说,他们现在的境况是别人造成的,环境决定了他们的人生位置.这些人常说他们的想法无法改变.但是,我们的境况不是周围环境造成的.说到底,如何看待人生,由我们自己决定.纳粹德国某集中营的一位幸存者维克托·弗兰克尔说过:"在任何特定的环境中,人们还有一种最后的自由,就是选择自己的态度."     

因特网的分析索引:乌托邦的梦想

检索互无关联的信息条目和数字内容时,所有查询因特网资源的方法都变得力不从心。本文通过研究现有的因特网查询方法、传统的书目控制和网站设计,探讨了对分析索引的需求问题。通过对这些索引的开发、设计和筛选过程中遇到的相关问题的讨论,得出一个结论,即在因特网上创建全面的分析索引不现实,而创建小型具体化的索引可能是查询某些具体数字信息的最佳途径。     

Book production and library purchases: looking beyond the thor ruling

Many of the concerns regarding the impact of the issues of the early 1980s on book publishing and library acquisitions continue to be discussed in library literature. Discussion focuses on the availability of material, while the economic realities are often overlooked. The present study was conducted to provide background data on these issues by exploring the correlation between new title output and library acquisitions, the change in new title production prior to and following the 1980Thor ruling, and changes in library spending patterns. Additionally, it discusses other factors that may be influencing library purchases and the state of scholarly publishing. Her research interests are in publishing and scholarly communication.

Modern impressions: Getting to know your library website users

Academic library websites need to support a variety of users (student, faculty, staff, administrator, alumni, etc.) with intellectual pursuits related to research, teaching, and learning, in addition to being user-friendly, valuable and informative. Although the CUNY Queens College Library (QCL) website has been redesigned multiple times, there has not been a formal user research study of the website and its users to inform the redesign. Taking a user-centered approach, specifically the user-centered design (UCD) methodology, this study explores users of an urban academic library website in the United States through the use of triangulation, a mixed-methods approach that includes user survey, user interviews, and website analysis. The findings reveal that the majority of users like the QCL website and find the content valuable for teaching and research, but users also thought the website design was dated (not a modern design), some of the content was inconsistent, and access of all types emerged as a major theme. The results provide recommendations for the library website redesign and are important in helping librarians of similar libraries use triangulation of data to gain a multidimensional understanding of their users in order to inform the design and development of library websites.     

Teaching About the Internet:

Since 1991, the Kennedy Library has offered a 10-week, 1-credit course for undergraduates, primarily focused on accessing library catalogs and full-text databases through the Internet. Utilizing lecture/demonstrations and hands-on experiences, the students are introduced to a multitude of state, regional, national and international library catalogs; journal article databases, for both citations and full-text articles; local collections of specialized materials; and full-text bibliographic and numeric sources. In addition, the capabilities of electronic mail and computer conferences are introduced. This article will discuss the framework for the course, instructional stategies, and factors which have contributed to its success.     

Making the Internet Easier to Use

Few can deny the value of the Internet, but its rapid growth and chaotic nature make it difficult to find useful resources. Some librarians are making this task easier in a very specific way: by creating World Wide Web (WWW) home pages. This takes a World Wide Web server, but it is easy to do and makes the Internet more navigable. Some smaller schools, like Willamette University, have done a particularly good job at it.     

Noodling Down the Internet:

Some of the problems created by the introduction of the Internet to library services are discussed. These include problems with the structure of the Internet, library staff issues, an analysis of the preparedness of current users for the Internet, and bibliographic instruction impact.
