Securing the printed record as a joint task for the German academic libraries
Full text linkIn Katalogdatenbanken öffentlich gemachte Selbstverpflichtungen bilden ein nachhaltiges, flexibles und robustes Instrument zur Überlieferungssicherung gedruckter Bücher und Zeitschriften in den Wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken Deutschlands. Erforderlich sind hierfür verlässliche Angaben zur Überlieferungshäufigkeit, Transparenz und effiziente Verfahren zur Überführung seltener Titel an einschlägige Bibliotheken sowie der Wille zu einer stärkeren Arbeitsteilung zwischen den Einrichtungen.Published retention commitments will be an appropriate remedy for the impending loss of the printed tradition in the academic libraries in Germany. But what should a national policy look like for getting a sustainable and redundant network for securing the whole printed heritage? The author proposes principles for a flexible and robust pattern for the division of work and functionalities
Shared Print – How Libraries in the United States and Canada Ensure Accessibility and Preservation of the Printed Record
No full textSeit Anfang des Jahrtausends haben die Wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken Nordamerikas große Anstrengungen unternommen, Zugänglichkeit und Bewahrung der Bücher und Zeitschriften zu sichern. Der vorliegende Artikel bietet einen Überblick über eine Vielzahl von Ansätzen, Initiativen, Vorgehensweisen, Best Practice und eingesetzten Tools. Aufgrund des Föderalismus und der Selbständigkeit der meisten Universitäten bilden neben einem belastbaren Narrativ maschinell auswertbare Erhaltungszusagen den Schlüssel zum Erfolg.Since the beginning of the millennium, North American academic libraries have made great advances in ensuring the accessibility and preservation of books and journals. This article provides an overview of a variety of approaches, initiatives, best practices, and tools. Due to the federalism and the autonomy of most universities, interoperable preservation commitments are the key to success, along with a coherent narrative. Some of the solutions are of special interest for the German academic librarie
Ein Vorschlag an die Wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken Deutschlands
Full text linkGedruckte Bücher und Zeitschriften sind durch Papierzerfall, digitales Lesen und zunehmende Aussonderungen in den wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken bedroht, da sie meist nur in wenigen Exemplaren überliefert sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden zentrale Aspekte von Überlieferungsbildung und Überlieferungssicherung als wichtige Aufgaben der Bibliotheken herausgestellt.The legacy print collections are highly at risk. Paper embrittlement resulting from acid decay, the transition to digital reading and an increasing weeding practice at the academic libraries in combination with the common rareness of the most printed books and serials are the background of asking for the core issues regarding sustainable collection building and securing the printed record
„Bis morgen in der Bibliothek!“ – Entwicklungen für Lernorte an der SUB Göttingen
No full textBildung, Wissenschaft und Arbeit erfahren derzeit einen dramatischen Wandel. Insbesondere Studierende realisieren das Potential der digitalen Welt und Zusammenarbeit in Gruppen und benötigen hierfür mehr als klassische Lesesäle. Für Bibliotheken geht es dabei nicht um ein Entweder-oder, sondern um eine Ausdifferenzierung von Arbeitsumgebungen. Die SUB Göttingen entwickelt ihre Lernorte unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Trends, dass die Bibliothek für Studierende zunehmend ständiger Arbeitsplatz und soziales Zentrum wird. So wurden 1369 Arbeitsplätze insgesamt, davon 482 Einzelarbeitsplätzen und 887 Gruppenarbeitsplätze geschaffen.Education, science and work are changing dramatically. Students in particular realize the potential of working digital and collaboratively in groups and accordingly require environments other than mere traditional reading rooms. Rather than opting for \‘either-or\’ solutions, libraries need to diversify the environments they offer. Göttingen State and University Library develops its learning environments, taking into particular account the trend of the library\’s increasing importance as a permanent student working area and social center. This created 1,369 learning spaces, thereof 482 for individuals and 887 for group work
Das VD 18: eine Einladung ins 18. Jahrhundert
No full textDer vorliegende Beitrag informiert ber das geplante Vorhaben VD 18 (Verzeichnis der im deutschen Sprachraum erschienenen Drucke des 18. Jahrhunderts), seine Vorgeschichte und die vorgesehene Struktur des Projekts. Im Unterschied zu gleichermaen bezeichneten Projekten fr frhere Jahrhunderte wird das VD 18 die Volltext-Digitalisierung aller verzeichneten Drucke bieten. Fr den deutschen Sprachraum wird das VD 18 damit die digitale Bibliothek des 18. Jahrhunderts.The present article outlines VD 18 (Bibliography of books published in German-speaking countries in the 18th century), its background as well the intended project structure. In contrast to similarly named projects on earlier centuries, VD 18 will provide complete digitization of all items covered by the bibliography. As for German speaking countries VD 18 will provide the digital library of the 18th century.The present article outlines VD 18 (Bibliography of books published in German-speaking countries in the 18th century), its background as well the intended project structure.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Zwischen Jena und Göttingen : Die Ausrichtung der Herzoglichen Bibliothek in Gotha 1734-1919
No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
