Applying the NISO Metasearch Initiative Scheme to Enhance E-Resources Management at Rutgers University Library     

Li Sun 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(1):75-89

This article discusses problems in the management of library e-resources and attempts to identify potential solutions to the problems. By describing an e-resources enhancement project taken by Rutgers University Libraries, this article points to the importance of providing contextually rich metadata and reorganizing the accessibility of e-resources on a library's website. It introduces how this Rutgers project adopted the National Information Standards Organization Metasearch Initiative to support the identification of appropriate e-collections for metasearching. The outcomes of the project have facilitated a dynamic display of relevant e-resources to library users as an effective way of automatic access to library e-collections.  相似文献   

Bundles,Big Deals,and the Copyright Wars: What Can Academic Libraries Learn from the Record Industry Crash?     

Edward Keane 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(1):33-57

This article reviews the contention that U.S. laws favor copyright owners over consumers, and pre-existing models over innovation. The relationship of commercial publishers to the Open Access movement is compared to that of the creators/users of file sharers and the Record Industry. The library literature bears out the contention that journal publishers have exhibited some of the behaviors that contributed to the decline of the major record labels. Librarians who support free scholarship will find the music industry plight instructive; just as iTunes fulfilled consumer demand, Open Access and other alternatives will transform publishing.  相似文献   

Decision Making in the Recataloging of Serials     

《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(1-2):77-100

Catalogers make decisions constantly, especially when recataloging serials. This article explores the decisions that need to be made when recataloging serials, within the framework of a decision-making model used in business. For catalogers, this model consists of becoming aware that a recataloging problem exists, defining what the problem is, analyzing the alternatives for handling it, selecting the best solution based on the library's goals and resources, implementing it, and obtaining feedback. Then the cycle begins again wilh new problems.  相似文献

Electronic Document Delivery: The Ibadan University Library Experience     

Emmanuel Babatunde Ajala  Reuben Abiodun Ojo 《Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve》2013,23(4):199-205

New information communication technologies, such as the Internet and electronic publishing, not only enhance the range of publications that libraries can provide for their users but also increase the speed with which such requests can be met. This article describes the development of electronic document delivery (EDD) at the Kenneth Dike Library at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. A successful EDD program depends upon good intranet and Internet network systems, document availability, user awareness and training, and ease of use. The major challenge to this service is inconsistent power supply, which the university is addressing with the aid of a grant from the MacArthur Foundation for backup electric generators and a university solar energy project. It is hoped that this will assure better and more reliable power service in support of EDD in future. New information delivery regulations and laws guiding adequate service will also emerge but must be properly applied for effective and positive results.  相似文献   

The Digital Library of Slovenia (dLib.si)     

Michael Biggins 《Slavic & East European Information Resources》2013,14(3):294-298

The article discusses the ambitious Web site and project Digitalna knji?nica Slovenije [Digital Library of Slovenia]. It encompasses periodicals, books, photographs, music scores, posters, maps, and sound recordings. Its stated goal is to provide both global access to, and long‐term digital archival preservation of, Slovenia's national heritage. The availability in the DLS of antiquarian books, periodicals, and other formats alongside full‐text digital versions of some very prominent current periodicals makes for an intriguing open access hybrid of public domain and copyright‐protected materials. The author explains how this has happened.  相似文献

《Slavic & East European Information Resources》2013,14(2-3):129-156

Abstract

Publishing and printing in Montenegro are very much connected to the history of Montenegro and its people. The author discusses publishing in the territory until 1990, and then from 1991 to the present. Approximately 40 new, private publishers have emerged in the past decade. She discusses current major publishers, old and new, along with their profiles and recent notable titles. She then lists important periodicals. The article concludes with the hope that Montenegro will soon break out of its isolation and become a more integral part of the East European market for the printed word.  相似文献   

Collecting History Imprints from Russia in the Age of the New Official Historiographic Agenda     

Thomas Keenan 《Slavic & East European Information Resources》2013,14(3):114-129

The selection and acquisition of contemporary research-quality Russian and Soviet history imprints from Russia is presenting increasingly formidable challenges for institutions with mandates to collect and preserve this category of material. This situation promises to worsen, as, increasingly, the administration of the Russian Federation appears to be preparing to enforce an official historiographic agenda. The agenda, inferred over the past several years by many professional observers and interpreters of the Russian administration’s words and deeds, is to promote a view of the country’s twentieth-century history which reactivates World War II-era nationalist narratives, justifies a centralized authoritarian model of government, and cultivates a sense of estrangement from the West. Anticipating that high-level historical scholarship on particular aspects of Russian history might become an endangered genre in the Russian publishing arena—and that such publications might become increasingly difficult to identify and acquire—collectors should begin strategizing for a potentially challenging marketplace.  相似文献
