The Impact of Automation

Automation is a process of dynamic change whereby organizations adopting computerized information technology are systematically and thoroughly changed. Modification in processes produces inextricable change in personnel, procedure, organizational structure, services, and the public perception. Automated networking and the transfer of archives documentation through the nationwide bibliographic networks will have profound influence on archives, more than on libraries. Computer technology is forcing archivists to rethink old theoretical assumptions, professional values, and organizational strategies, including their traditional relationship with librarians and the prevalent administrative nexus between libraries and archives. Several options remain open to archival development in automated information systems, some of which are alternatives to library-dominated networks and approaches to bibliographic control, while others call for closer archives-library cooperation and integration of methodology to produce a new hybrid information milieu.     

Academic Libraries as Digital Gateways: Linking Students to the Burgeoning Wealth of Open Online Collections

ABSTRACT

Digital collections of full-text e-books are proliferating on the Web and provide a wealth of open content for students. To examine whether academic libraries are providing a digital gateway to these resources, ten e-book titles from open digital collections were searched in the online catalogs and Web pages of ten academic libraries serving distance learners. Only three of the digital collection e-books were available from any of the library catalogs, and none were found on library Web pages. Availability of the ten e-book titles through Google and other digital discovery tools also had mixed results. Continued projects for improved delivery of open online content are necessary. In order to fulfill their role as digital gateways for their academic communities, libraries must pursue metadata standards to support cross-searching, collaborative projects, and development of e-resource search software, which integrates with the library catalog.     

A Foundation for Change: Using Challenges and Opportunities as Building Blocks for Collection Management

Abstract

Large-scale collection management represents not just opportunities in terms of space, budgets, and personnel but also an important responsibility for the library’s ability to provide quality service and access to knowledge in the future. Libraries must address many challenges when managing collections, but by taking advantage of opportunities when presented, libraries can improve access for today and tomorrow. Using the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an example, this article will explore how opportunities like high-density storage, shared print initiatives, digitization efforts, and mass deduplication can address challenges facing libraries and improve current and future access to collections.

Collection Management Strategies in a Digital Environment

Abstract

This paper describes a grant-funded research project to relocate selected print journal runs, for which an electronic version is available, to remote storage from the shelves of campus libraries at the University of California. During the project, users will rely on the electronic version of selected journals. Data, including costs associated with the project, usage of print journals, usage of electronic journals, as well as user behavior and attitudes, will be gathered and used to develop long-range strategies and institutional policies.

Global Resources: How a Cooperative Collection Development Enterprise Keeps Pace with a Rapidly Changing World

ABSTRACT

In the past ten years the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) has developed new ways to support cooperative development of critical research collections. CRL has expanded its role as a centralized aggregator of tangible collections to facilitate collection development, digitization, and licensing of collections by individual libraries and interest groups. This has required CRL to adopt new funding models, from partnerships and coalitions with key organizations, and use technology to support community engagement. Funding essential to this transition was provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, National Science Foundation, and the IMLS.     

算法之眼与数据蔽视:媒介空间中的劳动管理研究

以算法为代表的人工智能系统在重构媒介空间关系的同时,也深度嵌入了人类劳动实践,从去劳动化、去交往化、去情境化等层面实现了劳动的"重新再造",并形成了包括劳动监控、数据蔽视、算法管理等在内的控制行为和控制逻辑.面对算法技术对劳动者主体性的围猎和消解,新一代信息技术主导和重塑的媒介空间成为算法劳动抵抗的新兴场域,劳动者的"...

Rethinking Collection Management Plans: Shaping Collective Collections for the 21st Century

The emergence of shared print repositories has created new opportunities for libraries to provide cost-effective stewardship through collaborative collection management. This opportunity also presents challenges, as libraries must reenvision collection management in the context of local, regional, and national priorities. In previous decades, collection management plans were used to communicate an institution's strategies for managing local collections. As libraries prepare to participate in cooperative agreements, formal collection management plans and policies can and should be used once again as a practical framework for decision making. The authors offer practical advice on developing a collection management plan in a collaborative context.

Russia's Digital Cultural Heritage in the Legal Deposit System

Since 1994, the National Library of Russia has accepted electronic media according to the federal law On the Obligatory Copy of Documents, which established the system of legal deposit in Russia. The Scientific-Technical Center “Informregistr” is responsible for collecting legal deposits of electronic media and provides regular analysis of the National Library's collection of electronic editions. The results of these analyses are given in this article. Bibliographic records of deposited electronic media are available online in the electronic catalog Russian Electronic Editions. Catalog data are used to evaluate the characteristics of electronic editions and publishers. Acquisitions librarians use this catalog as a national bibliographic resource for adding electronic editions to their collections.

Collection Management in British Children's Literature-A Report of Five Case Studies

In order to gain insight into the collection management of children's books by British public library services, five case studies were undertaken in 1989. These studies uncovered a diversity of procedures but no comprehensive provision of collection management policies. Reasons for compromising on the ideal were found to be related to inadequate staffing rather than to a lack of concern.     

当前藏书采选机制对藏书质量的影响与思考

[目的/意义]对目前藏书采选机制的形成原因以及对藏书质量的影响进行深入剖析,提出基于目前藏书采选机制的三级控制解决方案,从而提高图书馆的藏书质量。[方法/过程]对当前图书出版状况和可供书目来源进行分析,探求采选机制对藏书质量影响的深层次原因,提出文献采选不仅要遵循一定的原则、采用专业的方法,还要通过经验积累保证采选的质量,从而满足图书馆服务对象的需求。而一套成熟的采选模式,需要依靠相关制度的完善和经验的积累,从图书的内容和质量两方面去把关。[结果/结论]当前藏书采选机制下,可以通过"馆员选验--专家把关--馆长审核"的三级控制制度对藏书采选质量进行控制,其中馆员和专家主要负责对藏书的内容质量进行把关,而馆长则主要负责对馆藏图书的结构质量进行控制和完善。
