Archeological and Natural Resource Collections of the National Park Service: Opportunities and Threats

Archeological and natural resource collections are nonrenewable and become increasingly valuable over time. Some would argue that collections and collecting have been severely threatened by decreasing financial and other support, especially over the last decade. However, this situation does not fully apply to the National Park Service (NPS). NPS archeological and natural resource collections have grown, as has the rate of collecting, though less than 2% of NPS collections are natural resource specimens, whereas 52% are archeological. (The other 46% are historical, ethnographic, and archival collections.) When the NPS began compiling annual statistics in 1983, it found that the rate of collecting far exceeded the rate of cataloguing. In addition, many collections were stored or exhibited in substandard conditions. The NPS developed a strategy identifying the problems and estimating the cost for correction. The plan influenced Congress to increase appropriations to the NPS for collections management, which, from 1988 through 1994, have totaled $26.7 million. Following the lead of the NPS, the Department of the Interior has adopted a similar strategy.     

数字馆藏质量管理系统研究

数字馆藏是现代复合图书馆开展计算机网络信息服务的物质基础。数字馆藏的质量管理不仅包括馆藏数字资源质量管理,还包括相应的存取系统和检索系统的质量管理。在数字馆藏的质量管理中,每个阶段影响其质量的因素不同。数字馆藏质量管理系统的主要任务是采集、存储和处理各类质量数据,并以此为基础进行质量分析、评价、控制和决策。数字馆藏质量管理系统包括数字馆藏发展管理子系统、数字馆藏存储管理子系统,数字馆藏服务管理子系统3个子系统。每个子系统有着相应的功能。     

Management of Popular Reading Collections

In an effort to satisfy the leisure reading demands of students, the Brigham Young University library provides a small collection of books for browsing. A study of circulation statistics led to a heavier emphasis on paperbacks, a change in emphasis to fiction purchases, and the replacement of the McNaughton Plan with local purchasing. Currency of the titles was not found to be related to popularity. Science fiction, fantasy, and romance were found to be the most popular subjects.

Print Collections Management in the Wake of Digitization

Ross Housewright, a Research Analyst at Ithaka S+R (http://www.ithaka.org/ithaka-s-r/) delivered the keynote address at the E-Resources Symposium at Mississippi State University on September 16, 2010. Housewright challenged traditional thinking about collection and preservation activities in the academic library setting. He introduced two important Ithaka S+R programs—the Faculty Survey and the What to Withdraw Framework—and discussed how they can assist serials librarians struggling to maintain the proper balance between patron needs, budget pressures, and the library's mission to preserve materials in the age of mixed digital and print collections.     

The Effect of Demand Level on the Optimal Size of Journal Collections

A model is developed which minimizes the total annual cost of maintaining a journal collection with any given level of demand assuming that all requests will be met either from the collection or through interlibrary loans and that the obsolescence and scattering characteristics of the collection are known. The costs considered are the acquisition costs, storage costs, and the cost of interlibrary loans. The relationship between the annual number of requests and the optimal collection size is investigated. The collection comprehensiveness and the cost per request are also examined as a function of the demand level.

Library Collections for the Support of Academic Sport Management Programs

Sport management is a relatively new and rapidly growing academic discipline. Despite the proliferation of sport management programs in the United States, a review of the library literature reveals few publications concerning library support for such programs. In addition to providing background knowledge about the sport management discipline, this article provides practical information for academic librarians by recommending essential databases, journals, academic publishers, industry publishers, and associations in the arena of sport management.     

Education Collections as Museum Collections

Museum education collections are inarguably a part of a museum's actual collection, just as are the research/permanent collections. However, past practices indicate that education collections are typically not given equal stature in museological terms. This paper argues that techniques and practices used with research/permanent collections should be applied to education collections, a viewpoint that has not yet been readily embraced. Several methods are addressed for upgrading an education collection to a level similar to a museum's permanent collection. The Lubbock Lake Landmark's education collection serves as a case study to demonstrate the need for the application of proper museological techniques to conform to best practices. A scope of collection was created, preventive conservation techniques were applied, a gap analysis was performed, and legal issues concerning the education collection were addressed.
