中英译本图书社会化标签的比较研究

认为随着Web2.0,的发展,社会化标注系统也开始影响图书馆传统的信息组织方式。以中英译本的图书为研究对象,从豆瓣、Amazon、Librarything获取社会化标签,从中国国家图书馆和美国国会图书馆获取MARC记录中的主题词,探究每本书的标签和主题词在长度、个数和相似度三方面的差异。实验结果显示：不同语种的标签或主题词在长度、个数和相似度三方面存在差异;不同类目的图书的社会化标签在这三方面也存在差异;单本书的社会化标签与主题词之间同样存在差异。该研究能够帮助图书馆了解社会化标签并借此提升用户服务品质。     

Women in Literature

This study analyzes the Library of Congress (LC) class numbers and the LC subject headings which LC has assigned to 164 works of history and criticism of literature (belles lettres) related to women's studies. These books were classed in more than one hundred different class numbers and spans of numbers. Less than half of these books were assigned to class numbers in PA-PT whose captions contain either the word "women" or another word which points to women's studies, but slightly more than half were assigned "literature" subject headings which contain the words "women," "feminism," "feminist," or "sex role." The subject heading "Women in literature" was assigned to forty of these books, while the words "women authors" appear in a series of different subject headings assigned to forty-five of these books.     

出土简帛中的篇题木牍及其相关目录学问题

出土简帛所见专门用于记录文献篇题的木牍主要有三处。其中,尹湾所出的1块篇题木牍记录了7种典籍的书名,可视为群书目录的雏形。银雀山所出的5块和阜阳所出的3块篇题木牍都是一书篇章目录。综合考察可知,《七略》之前的所谓"目录"主要是一书目录,相应的文献学问题主要是一书内部篇章结构及其关系,而不是群书目录所反映的文献与文献之间的关系。并且,一书目录只有"目"而没有"录",具有十分明确的检索取向。表6。参考文献12。     

Transcending Library Catalogs: A Comparative Study of Controlled Terms in Library of Congress Subject Headings and User-Generated Tags in LibraryThing for Transgender Books

Perhaps the greatest power of folksonomies, especially when set against controlled vocabularies like the Library of Congress Subject Headings, lies in their capacity to empower user communities to name their own resources in their own terms. This article analyzes the potential and limitations of both folksonomies and controlled vocabularies for transgender materials by analyzing the subject headings in WorldCat records and the user-generated tags in LibraryThing for books with transgender themes. A close examination of the subject headings and tags for twenty books on transgender topics reveals a disconnect between the language used by people who own these books and the terms authorized by the Library of Congress and assigned by catalogers to describe and organize transgender-themed books. The terms most commonly assigned by users are far less common or non-existent in WorldCat. The folksonomies also provide spaces for a multiplicity of representations, including a range of gender expressions, whereas these entities are often absent from Library of Congress Subject Headings and WorldCat. While folksonomies are democratic and respond quickly to shifts and expansions of categories, they lack control and may inhibit findability of resources. Neither tags nor subject headings are perfect systems by themselves, but they may complement each other well in library catalogs. Bringing users’ voices into catalogs through the addition of tags might greatly enhance organization, representation, and retrieval of transgender-themed materials.     

网络图书排行榜评价指标探析——以当当网图书畅销榜为例

文章以当当网图书畅销榜2007～2010年四年排名前100位的图书为对象,对榜单图书的类型、出版社、再版次数、读者评价度等方面进行定量分析,研究了网络书店中的文献半衰期现象。进一步引入卷入度的概念,探讨了消费者参与对网络图书评价的影响。主要发现:出版社和图书类别的上榜次数分布符合重尾分布规律;网络书店中,文献半衰期不但与学科属性有关,而且与互联网信息快速增长趋势密切相关;教辅类图书和自然科学类图书的卷入度分别低于非教辅类图书和社会科学类图书的卷入度。     

Undergraduate Students' Book Selection: A Study of Factors in the Decision-Making Process

Little research has focused on what factors undergraduate students consider when selecting books at academic libraries. In order to better understand student book choices at Niagara University Library, we chose 11 sets of two books with the same LC subject headings but with other differences and asked students to select one book over another. Twenty potential factors in their decision making were investigated in particular. The data and observations indicated that navigation factors were most important to the students in selecting the books presented to them.     

Pattern Indexing:

Pattern indexing is an attempt at combining standardized and free indexing. In contrast to prevailing indexing methods, notably precoordinated ones, pattern indexing also takes into consideration the terminological and information retrieval habits in certain displines of science. It is based on patterns consisting of subject categories reflecting the conceptual and methodological framework of a given discipline. These categories provide structured sets of standardized subject headings. To allow for flexibility and adequacy, these headings may be complemented by free indexing terms. Pattern indexing is intended to mend opaque catalog structures and terminological uncertainties of topical subject headings in common precoordinated indexing practice. Pattern indexing is discussed in the context of literary scholarship.     

OPACs,Users, and Readers’ Advisory: Exploring the Implications of User-Generated Content for Readers’ Advisory in Canadian Public Libraries

This article examines the contribution of social discovery platforms and user-generated content (UGC) on readers’ advisory (RA) services in Canadian public libraries. Grounded Theory was used to conduct a content analysis of library-assigned subject headings and UGC of 22 adult fiction titles in 43 Canadian public libraries that use BiblioCommons, SirsiDynix, and Encore social discovery platforms. Findings indicate that UGC complements the MARC bibliographic record as it provides insight into the subject of a work, its protagonists, and the effect the book has on readers. User-generated reviews provide a rich data set that clearly connects to known RA access points.

LC Classification of a Library and Information Science Library for Maximum Shelf Retrieval

In reclassifying a Library and Information Science library from DDC to LC, an attempt was made to concentrate books with related subject headings on the shelf for maximum shelf retrieval even in cases where the Subject Authorities or C.I.P. assign them varying numbers. Most of the shelf concentration was achieved either by selecting a single number for a given heading and then classifying all books with the heading in that number or by replacing the standard LC number for a heading with one which placed it together with related books on the shelf.     

高校图书馆用户群体的阅读偏好--对“热门图书”数据的考察

关于OPAC数据的研究多基于一所或几所高校的少量数据,从单个用户角度展开,忽视了用户群体的阅读偏好。文章采集我国103所高校图书馆"热门图书"数据,从用户群体阅读偏好角度进行聚类分析:提取部分"热门图书"作为反映高校用户群体阅读偏好的特征,为每所高校生成用户群体阅读偏好向量,对这些高校进行AP (Affinity Propagation)聚类。对聚类结果进行分析发现:部分类簇高校的图书类别分布、图书题名高频词、高频学科主题词存在明显差异。

Using citation analysis to develop core book collections in academic libraries

Collection development in college and university libraries most often occurs using longstanding traditional selection methods, such as favorable book reviews or local user needs. This study uses citation analysis as a tool to select books for the social science book collection in one academic library and compares the circulation of books using traditional methods to those books using citation analysis. The journal impact factor was used to determine those journals and authors cited the most in the disciplines of business, anthropology, education, political science, psychology, and sociology. If those authors published books, the books were purchased and circulation data on the books were tabulated and compared to books chosen using traditional methods. Findings indicate that books purchased using traditional methods of selection circulated more, except when individual disciplines were measured. In the areas of business, political science, and psychology, there was no significant difference in circulation statistics, and together both the traditional and citation analysis methods accounted for circulation of nearly 95% of the social science collection. Since it is based on scholarly activity, citation analysis is a collection development method that could be used in all academic libraries.     

Exploring Goodreads reviews for book impact assessment

Online book reviews reflect readers’ attitudes and opinions and serve as a data source for book impact assessment. Most research has only focused on the number of ratings and reviews to assess the impact of books. However, it is necessary to more thoroughly explore online book reviews, to analyze the viewpoints and sentiments expressed in them and the identity and motivation of the reviewers in order to evaluate the value of different types of book reviews. In this study, we collect Goodreads reviews of books indexed by the Book Citation Index and consider them according to the following three aspects: the popularity of highly cited books in Goodreads, the influence of reviewer roles (of author, librarian, and ordinary user) on book reviews, and the emotions and opinions behind reviewers’ ratings. Results consider the number of books reviewed in different disciplines, the variations in ratings of highly cited and non-highly cited books, differences in book reviews given by the reviewer roles, and the way reviewers express their sentiments about the books. The study concludes that if online reviews are to be used as indicators of book impact assessment, key considerations should include the subject discipline, the reviewer's role, and the sentiment polarity.     

African-American Reference Books and the Reviewing Media

African-American reference books are often subject to exclusionary book reviewing practices. A sampling of 148 African-American reference titles published between 1980 and 1990 was selected from Nathaniel Davis' Afro-American Reference (1985), Rosemary M. Stevenson's Index to Afro-American Reference Resources (1987), and the "Current Bibliography" series compiled by the author for the Black American Literature Forum (1986-1991). Reviews of these materials were analyzed for recommendation statements, evaluative content, coverage of titles in the subject field, and duplication between reviewing media. These findings are compared to simliar studies to provide a theoretical context for analysis of criteria used by reviewers.     

The Dynamic Landscape of Marketing Children’s Books: Publishers Find Consistent Success Through a Combination of Online and Traditional Marketing to Adults and Children

There are a number of challenges unique to the children’s book sector faced by publishers in today’s digitally-dominant business market, making it more crucial than ever for children’s book marketers to create multifaceted marketing plans that include differing but complementary approaches. Among the common marketing challenges specific to children’s books are overabundance of content, competition, access to the library market, the digital versus print dichotomy, difficulty of marketing directly to young readers on the Internet, and the dual (child and adult) target audience. While some marketing tactics must effectively attract the attention of the child reader, it is of fundamental importance (with some exceptions) for publishers, authors, and marketers of children’s books to also ensure their marketing techniques target the adult gatekeepers who are likely to purchase those books. Depending upon various factors, including age range of the reader and subject matter, marketers of children’s books are most successful when applying a mix of traditional and digital marketing techniques.     

The Right Book on the Right Shelf: Missing and Misshelved Books—How Bar Code Scanning Inventories Can Solve the Patrons’ Dilemma

After more than 30 years of failing to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the book collection at a large liberal arts library, our patrons complained that they could not find one in five books. A study of the problem indicated that in fact 20% of our books were either missing or misshelved. This article discusses the investigation of the problem and the impact after five years of conducting an annual inventory by using handheld devices to gather bar codes and interface these with our catalog records to find the missing and misshelved books. The missing book rate dropped from 5.6% to less than one half percent. The misshelved book rate dropped steadily every year from 11.6% to 3.1%. The number of books reported as missing by our patrons dropped 90%.
