Tintásüveg: Egy biblioterápiai gyűjtemény margójára
No full textThis article reports on a two-year project, Reading for Recovery(R4R), made possible by the Carnegie-Whitney grant from the American Library Association. The goal was to build a tool with the purpose of facilitating library resources for creative and informal bibliotherapy geared toward people with substance use/abuse problems. In addition to first introducing the results of their work in an article to Hungarian audiences vested tremendously in bibliotherapy, the author wishes to share the difficulties project staff members had to face. Besides issues caused by a major change at the host institution (and out of project staff's control), staff members also had to develop individual strategies to handle the hardship caused by the topic itself. The author, principal investigator of R4R, for example, ended up writing short stories from the material they handled. One example is also included, along with questions to help working with the text individually or in a group setting, such as a book club, a model R4R promotes.Peer reviewedIn Hungarian

Egyedül nem megy: gondolatok egy addiktológiai biblioterápiai gyűjtemény összeállítása közben
No full textThe Information Services Division of the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies would like to present Reading for Recovery (R4R), a collection and guide for bibliotherapy in addictions, sponsored by a two-year Carnegie-Whitney grant from the American Library Association.

Acquisitions globalized: the foreign language acquisitions experience in a research library
No full textThis paper highlights foreign language titles from the perspective of acquisitions in a large academic research library. Selecting, ordering, cataloging, and providing access to non-English materials reach beyond the boundaries of departments responsible for the individual tasks. Assignments require different levels of language proficiency ranging from bibliographic proficiency to the near-native proficiency of the educated speaker. The highest level of language proficiency is used at the earliest and latest point of technical services (i.e., ordering and cataloging), and the rest requires only bibliographic proficiency or none at all. Because international vendor experiences vary country by country, strong cooperation is critical between the partners in the acquisition process. Vendor-supplied records used for foreign language acquisition purposes seem to have the potential to improve accuracy in bibliographic records.Peer reviewe
E.M. Jellinek: The Hungarian connection
No full textThis is the second in a series of papers depicting the mostly undocumented life of E.M. Jellinek. This paper establishes the connection between Jellinek Morton, a well-known figure in Hungary in the early part of the 20th Century, and E.M. Jellinek, one of the founders of alcohol studies. Newly found documents in Hungary and at the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies Library and Archives provide compelling evidence of this connection and shed some light on the mysterious circumstances of his 1920 disappearance from Hungary. The information in these papers was first presented at the 36th Annual Substance Abuse Librarians and Information Specialists (SALIS) Conference on May 1st, 2014, by seven presenters in a panel entitled “Mystery and speculations: Piecing together E.M. Jellinek’s redemption.”Peer reviewe
