烟斗

道先生开的铺子,远邻近舍,家家熟知。这家小店,出售各种各样的零星百货,老老少少,都来光顾,选购各自所需的用品。货架和店柜上的商品,琳琅满目,美不胜收。小乔伊每天放学以后,就逛进这家小店东张西望。他爱看那些烟斗,其中有一只特别惹他注目。每当他回家路过这里,总要盯它一阵,而且一见了它就目不转睛,心想:“总有那么一天,我会长大成人,可以抽抽烟斗,就像这只。”他记不起父亲是啥模样,但是他知道父亲准是抽烟斗的。小乔伊伸出手去摸了摸那只烟斗,又用一根手指在烟斗杆上轻轻地摩挲(māsā)着。他老是在想:他长大了,就可以去工作,他的母亲…

Serials standards work: the next frontier

Serials, one of the more complicated areas of library technical endeavors, has lacked the benefit of standards for a long time. Even now, with standards beginning to be available, the majority of institutions are not working within standard serials formats. A survey to determine the use of serials standards in libraries was conducted in 1988 by the American Library Association, Resources and Technical Services Division, Serials Section, Committee to Study Serials Standards. In the spring of 1988 a survey was sent to a group encompassing the Association of Research Libraries members, CONSER participants, United States Newspaper Program participants, Microform Project libraries, and some vendors and librarians who attended the Committee meetings on a regular basis. The survey questionnaire assessed the current level of serials standards awareness of librarians and vendors. Topics included the type of serials systems used, standards relevant to serials control and union listing and whether or not they are implemented, types and levels of training staff received in the application of standards, benefits of the standards, and areas where standards are most needed.

图书馆学实验方法研究

<正> 一、基本概念"实验"可以定义为研究者对起重要作用的条件加以精确地说明和控制的一种研究方式.改变一个或多个自变量的值,观察这种变化对于一个或多个实验组的各个因变量值的影响.而其它可能与研究课题有关的(即影响因变量的值)因素,则通过精密的实验将其限制在最小程度.这样,通过控制实验的条件,研究假设的基本要求就得到满足.在图书馆学方面,实验方法可以用于鉴定那些有关图书馆藏书建设,藏书保管和藏书利用等方面的新技术,说明那些定义不准
