A Study of Romanization Practice for Japanese Language Titles in OCLC WorldCat Records

Consistent romanization practice is one of the biggest challenges in cataloging Japanese materials. This study provides a snapshot of how Japanese is inconsistently or incorrectly romanized in Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) WorldCat records, and analyzes factors that might be causing the romanization problems among the records. Particular focus is placed on the analysis of word division problems that might be affected by different interpretations and applications of the ALA-LC Romanization Tables rules. Results revealed major factors behind the inconsistencies that were associated with the ambiguity and complexity of the word division rules. Solutions and ideas for further studies are suggested.     

OCLC's WorldShare Management Services: A Brave New World for Catalogers

Like other recent library management systems, OCLC's WorldShare Management Services (WMS) is cloud-based. But unlike the others, WMS opens WorldCat for applications beyond its traditional role as a source of bibliographic records. It enables catalogers to work directly from the Master Record, which no longer needs to be exported to a local system. This article describes the impact of WMS on the roles and functions of cataloging departments, and asks if it is changing the meaning of cataloging. It concludes that while the workflows are changed dramatically, the profession of cataloging remains relevant.     

E-Journal Cataloging in an Age of Alternatives: A Survey of Academic Libraries

This article reports on a survey of U.S. academic libraries that was conducted in the spring of 2008 to determine if and how academic libraries were actively cataloging e-journals in the age of the OpenURL, A–Z journal lists, and the batch loading of purchased MARC records.     

Meeting the E-Resources Challenge through Collaboration: An OCLC Perspective on Effective Management,Access, and Delivery of Electronic Collections

The session explored how collaboration among libraries, suppliers, and the OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC) cooperative can address some of the problems being faced with the management of electronic resources. Examples of specific challenges that impact budgets and services are: libraries’ reliance on multiple non-interoperable systems; the difficulties in getting and maintaining high quality and timely metadata; and the issues with managing workflows that cross system and staff boundaries. As work continues to introduce and enhance integrated systems for electronic resource management, these cooperative efforts can improve both the quality of the services and the associated data and workflows.

Critiquing Advocacy Research Findings: An Illustration from the OCLC Report,From Awareness to Funding: A Study of Library Support in America

The library profession needs to improve its ability to critically examine advocacy research and statistical studies. More proactive evaluations of claims made in advocacy campaigns and research reports will help improve the overall quality of library advocacy and fortify the institutional standing of libraries. As an illustration, this paper provides an in‐depth assessment of a measurement scheme used in the OCLC study From Awareness to Funding (2008).

移动互联环境下用户跨屏行为整合分析框架——基于扎根理论的探索

用户跨屏行为是移动互联环境下用户信息行为嬗变的时代性标志,引发了多学科、交叉领域的关注。目前关于用户跨屏行为的研究较为分散,缺乏对跨屏行为机理的系统聚焦与整合性探讨。作为探索性研究,本文尝试通过质性的扎根理论方法,结合深度访谈与焦点小组资料,借鉴Strauss的三阶段分析法,构建“双层—四维”的UTIT整合分析框架,具体涵盖了9个主范畴,39个范畴和117个初始概念。研究从用户、任务、信息、技术四个维度,综合考察用户跨屏行为的外部表现与内部动因,提炼出表现、因果、中介、调节四类关系。该框架在理论上弥补了传统研究中将行为动因与表现形式二元割裂的局限性,并延伸出用户跨屏行为的四大类研究命题与研究方向。图2。表5。参考文献27。     

The Rules-Based Process of Revealing/Concealing the Family Planning Decisions of Voluntarily Child-Free Couples: A Communication Privacy Management Perspective

Critical literature has largely ignored the element of purpose in Kenneth Burke's dramatistic pentad, along with its attendant philosophy of mysticism. Chiara Lubich's 1977 Templeton Prize Acceptance Speech presents rhetorical critics with a valuable opportunity to observe in practice the features of a rhetoric of purpose, as Burke has disseminated them. In fact, analysis of Lubich's speech according to Burke's criteria of purposive rhetoric suggests the existence of a discrete sub‐class of purposive rhetoric identified here as the mystical narrative.

An Excellent Library Science Management Textbook: A Review of Management Basics for Information Professionals by G. Edwards Evans and Stacey Greenwell

Abstract

Management Basics for Information Professionals, 4th edition, by G. Edwards Evans and Stacy Greenwell is intended as a textbook for the introductory library management course with the secondary objective of helping librarians hone their management skills. The authors aim to cover management issues in all types and sizes of libraries but focus more on academic and public libraries. The 22 chapters adequately cover the broad scope of management topics including self-management and career development. Positives include stressing that management is an art rather than a science, that no one strategy will succeed in all situations, and that managers must be aware of the internal and external environment. Additional examples of turning abstract principles into practice, more humor, and increased contributions from the behavioral sciences would have strengthened the text. A supplementary 150 page document that provides challenging case studies for classroom use is available upon request. Overall, I highly recommend this textbook and would use it if I were to teach the basic management course.     

公共图书馆治理结构现状分析——以当代西方国家公共文化管理体制转型为背景

当前西方各国的公共文化管理体制正经历着从单一模式向双重模式的转变,由此必然对作为公共文化重要组成部分的公共图书馆及其治理结构产生深远的影响。伴随着西方国家公共文化管理体制的深刻转型,西方国家公共图书馆治理结构正呈现出与以往不同的显著特点,其主要表现为:治理单元、设置主体、建设主体、管理主体、实施主体的传统界定正在发生变化,原来泾渭分明的界限正日趋模糊,整合与相互包容的趋势日趋明显。     

高校图书馆读者使用座位预约管理系统的经济学分析——以吉林大学鼎新图书馆为例

[目的/意义]当前高校图书馆座位预约管理系统研究中默认系统会被广泛使用，然而实践中并非必然如此。针对座位预约管理系统的实际使用效果，分析其成因，并提出完善座位预约管理制度的思路。[方法/过程]采用实证分析和经济学分析方法，统计吉林大学鼎新图书馆座位预约管理系统的使用数据，描述其使用效果。通过讨论座位预约管理制度中的规则选择成本、分配成本、裁判成本、执行成本以及监督成本，分析座位预约管理系统使用现状的成因。[结果/结论]实践中座位预约管理系统使用人数偏少，这种现象是"先到先得"和"预约选座"两种座位资源分配规则博弈的结果。由于在规则选择、分配、裁判、执行以及监督过程中成本分配不合理，读者缺乏使用系统的激励机制。系统功能的实现程度也是影响读者使用的因素，高校图书馆引进座位预约管理系统主要为了解决占座问题。针对4种不同类型占座行为，系统功能实现程度不一。要完善座位预约管理制度，需要整体地、系统地采取措施，包括统一座位资源分配规则、完善制度设计、系统管理和人力管理相结合。     

以信息构建与信息交互为定位的信息管理专业教育

欧美诸多大学以iSchool运动为契机对信息管理专业教育目标进行重新定位,并开展一系列课程体系建设与改革。本文采用网络调查、案例分析等研究方法对美国26所iSchool院校信息管理专业的教育设置情况展开调查,在与2008年调查数据对比分析的基础上,归纳总结出美国iSchool院校的教育规模与专业名称的变化及发展趋势。研究发现:信息构建与信息交互教育成为美国信息管理专业教育的新定位;信息构建与信息交互教育在信息管理专业各层次教育中均有开展;我国信息构建与信息交互教育滞后但人才需求巨大;我国应该在明确信息管理专业定位差异的前提下采用多种方式开展信息构建与信息交互教育,并逐步建立相关课程体系,设置相应课程内容。表7。参考文献40。
