新时代图书馆社会教育变革的关键词:赋能、连接与超越

经济社会和技术的全面进步正在推动全域教育迅速发展,教育表现强烈的开放性、自组织性和互动性特征。教育走向融合、共享、泛在的趋势和互联网、人工智能、大数据等新技术的广泛应用,为图书馆社会教育的创新发展提供了良好的社会基础与技术条件。教育发展的新特点推动图书馆社会教育的定位、目标、要素、管理等进行深刻调整。新时代,对图书馆的资源、空间、服务赋能,是图书馆社会教育发展的基本方式;实现图书馆内部资源、图书馆与外部机构、图书馆与学习者之间的泛在连接,是图书馆社会教育发展的中心任务;推动图书馆、学习者和社会教育实现多重超越,是图书馆社会教育发展的远景使命。

Macroappraisal Kiwi Style: Reflections on the Impact and Future of Macroappraisal in New Zealand

Both macroappraisal and the Australian records continuum-based DIRKS methodology have been influential in the New Zealand debate on appraisal in recent years. The primary influence of macroappraisal has been in the area of prioritisation of appraisal work. This paper considers New Zealand thinking on prioritisation, and the influences of risk management and functional analysis on this issue. A lack of agreement on the purpose of appraisal in the professional literature is noted, and some personal suggestions are offered on a model taking elements from macroappraisal and other methodologies.     

Consolidation of Black-dyed Māori Textile Artefacts: Evaluating the Efficacy of Sodium Alginate

Black-dyed artefacts are found in museums worldwide, many produced using an iron-tannate compound. Deterioration of iron-tannate dyed artefacts is an international preservation issue: in New Zealand the deterioration of paru (iron-tannate) dyed Māori textiles is widespread. This article reports experimental work testing the efficacy of sodium alginate, a consolidant developed for deteriorated paru-dyed muka (fibre from harakeke; Phormium tenax). The colour stability, strength retention, and acidity of paru-dyed muka consolidated with sodium alginate (0.25, 0.5, and 1% w/v in water) was tested pre- and post-artificial light ageing. This study found that sodium alginate had no negative effect on paru-dyed muka and in some cases provided benefit. Interestingly, the colour of paru-dyed muka is substantially more stable in UV-filtered light than previously recognised. Also microfading results were in agreement with visual assessments of colour change at 1 Mlux hour exposure, providing confidence in this relatively new technique to assess colour change.     

COUNTER R5的新特性及对图书馆的影响

COUNTER是规范网络化电子资源使用统计报告数据处理、审核和提交的国际化标准,是图书馆电子资源使用量统计和评估的核心要素。目前COUNTER已经发布了最新版本R5,了解R5的新特性及与之前版本的不同对于图书馆的电子资源统计工作具有重要意义。本文拟从COUNTERR5的报告设置、报告的指标类型、数据类型、访问类型和其他完善报告的属性来解析R5,同时介绍R5对SUSHI收割的影响、"持续维护"的概念、R5发布对图书馆的影响和R5实施的重要时间节点,同时也对R5较之R4的发展和不同进行了比较和分析。COUNTERR5的主要关注点是一致性、清晰性和简单性,较之COUNTERR4有了明显的完善,同时包含了持续的维护过程,允许对代码进行更新而不必再引入一个全新的版本,解决了版本升级会对供应商和图书馆带来的各种时间和人员成本的影响。     

Retention Matters: Academic Libraries Leading the Way

Academic libraries have always strived to be purposively involved in the university's mission attainment efforts. Today, the increase of retention levels is paramount, and, in many cases, it is at the center of higher education institution's strategic plans. For Andrews University, for example, the goal is to reach 80% in the next five years. In the United States, student retention efforts become even more critical due, in part, to declining enrollment numbers set off by soaring higher education costs. Academic librarians are aware of the library's role in the university's overall efforts to increase persistence rates and curtail attrition. Through a literature review, this article highlights how academic libraries are participating in this process. This study focuses on how academic libraries can be leaders in their Institutions by adopting a user-centered philosophy and services that will promote life-long learning, enhance students’ academic experience, and promote engagement, leading to retention.
