试论《八旗通志初集》和《钦定八旗通志》的关系

八旗制度是清朝的根本社会制度,清历朝皇帝认为它是“国家之根本”。因此,由官方先后编纂了两部重要文献,分别命名为《八旗通志初集》和《钦定八旗通志》,两部文献既有关系,又有不同。因此,笔者利用有关档案文献、历史文献及学者研究成果,明确了清朝八旗制度方面的重要文献《八旗通志初集》之“初集”称谓的来历和产生的具体时间,并在此基础上指出该称谓的产生与嘉庆年间成书的《钦定八旗通志》没有直接关系。再次,针对《钦定八旗通志》被称为是M《八旗通志初集》的续编或二编的看法,提出了两部《八旗通志》既有联系又是完全独立的两部文献的看法。     

当代民间古籍收藏与保护的重要收获——读罗鹭编《采山楼藏稀见清人别集丛刊》

罗鹭编《采山楼藏稀见清人别集丛刊》收录了其个人所藏稀见清人别集20种,每种均撰有解题.较之近若干年出版的一些清人著作,《丛刊》是一部"小书";然基于其全部的藏书活动,衡其藏书实绩、究其藏书思想、察其藏书意义,《丛刊》又实为一部"大书".《丛刊》是当代民间古籍收藏与保护的重要收获,必将在藏书史上写下浓墨重彩的一笔.     

Collaboration between Library,Faculty, and Instructional Design to Increase All Open Educational Resources for Curriculum Development and Delivery

ABSTRACT

Students at universities spend an average of $1,250 yearly on textbooks and course materials. Can a collaboration between the Library and the Instructional Design Department create value for student populations by incorporating OER into the course development process? This is a case study of one University with a large online and distributed network with controls over the course design, timeline and curriculum delivered by the faculty. This University’s team tested whether the entire course could be designed in a scalable format using OERs collaborating with a librarian to organize the resources so students will have ready access to OER every time the course is offered. The result was an internal recommendation on structuring collaboration with the Library and course developers and presentation of the selected OERs in the Learning Management System. The result explored how adopting OERs redesigned course assignments and assessments in courses and fostered the development of original OERs in discipline-specific topics and content. The impact was a greater use of library resources by faculty and students and an economic impact to the student who does not have to purchase costly course materials. This process also supported course authentic assessment creation that are not dependent upon paid resources.     

入藏馆量与学术著作影响力评价

[目的/意义]探索入藏馆量在学术著作评价工作中的应用，为学术评价提供参考。[方法/过程]从指标数据的产生机制、获取及应用情况3个方面讨论入藏馆量在学术著作影响力评价中的适用性，并以WorldCat为例进行实证分析与讨论。[结果/结论]入藏馆量数据通常来源于国家或国际图书馆联盟目录，在获取数据时，应根据选择的指标来源选择合适的检索方式，以准确获取著作的入藏馆量信息。在应用入藏馆量时，应考虑入藏图书馆的类型、地域等属性才能更加全面、准确评价著作的影响力。     

面向图书馆数字参考咨询的人机对话模型

[目的/意义]针对现有图书馆数字参考咨询人机对话机器人在对话回复内容方面的局限，提出一种融合人物画像的对话生成模型，使其回复更具个性化和趣味性，以提升图书馆智能咨询服务效果。[方法/过程]利用人机对话技术，对图书馆数字参考咨询服务中的用户和问题进行自动建模，建模方式分为个性化回复风格建模和特定用户属性建模。在个性化回复风格建模上，提出一种基于对话表示和相关性回复建模方法，该方法在学习到对话相关性的同时，利用个性化文本生成个性化的回复；在用户个人属性建模方面，基于信息抽取技术生成用户的人物画像。[结果/结论]实验结果表明，所提出的个性化回复生成模型优于已有的回复生成模型，人物画像识别的F值达到了99.8%。     

面向先秦典籍的知识本体构建技术研究

[目的/意义] 构建面向典籍文本的语义本体，能够促进典籍文本的挖掘与分析。然而由于典籍文本与现代文本在语法上存在较大差异，给面向典籍的语义本体构建带来了困难。[方法/过程] 本文运用自然语言处理技术探讨针对先秦典籍的本体构建方法。以国际上文化遗产领域通用的CIDOC CRM为框架，设计先秦典籍本体模型。针对典籍文本内容的特点及句法特征，将规则抽取与条件随机场方法相结合，提出一套本体实例自动获取技术，并以《左传》为实验语料进行测试。[结果/结论] 实验表明，本文所提出的本体实例抽取技术能够较好地提高面向典籍文本的本体构建效率。基于规则的本体实例抽取实验F值在93%左右，基于条件随机场的本体实例抽取最佳特征模板的F值为82.51%。在本体实例获取中，词性信息和位置信息具有重要作用。     

Tracking reference statistics – evaluation of methods

Abstract

The use of a paper-based tally sheet systems for gathering reference statistics has been unchanged for decades. However, with new technology and data gathering tools being developed, libraries now have an alternative for gathering statistical data more efficiently. This paper will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both paper-based tally sheet forms and electronic tracking systems being used in libraries and will encompass a variety of commercial, open source, and homegrown products. Preference for either tool will be explored and determine reasons for a libraries reluctance to embrace new technology and keeping with old methods.     

Millennials’ Reading Behavior in the Digital Age: A Case Study of Pakistani University Students

Abstract

This article uncovers the reading trends of Millennials living in Pakistan by investigating their reading behavior within the digital paradigm. A cross-sectional survey-based quantitative research design was adopted. Masters students (16?years education) from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) recognized universities of Lahore, Pakistan was the study population. A total of 515 masters’ level students from 7 universities participated in the survey. The participants were recruited by employing a two-stage stratified purposive total population sampling technique. The study findings confirmed that despite their preferences for print material, Millennials were using electronic material for reading more frequently. However, the study showed that the reading purpose influences the choice of the reading format. Furthermore, the availability of electronic reading content in the public domain and open access contents may be a reason for increased use of e-content, as free websites were the preferred method of millennials for obtaining reading material. Social networking websites and intelligent search engines like “Google” were also in use and play a role in finding the relevant information and reading e-content. The study shows that the digital environment has a significant impact on the reading behavior of individuals, a fact which needs to be considered by academics, practitioners, and the individuals themselves. It is considered a baseline study that opens various potential directions and avenues for future research.
