Ergebnisse de Provenienzforschung an der Universitätsbibliothek Wien
Full text linkIn the article the results of two provenance research projects that took place at Vienna University Library (VUL) between 2004 and 2010 are discussed and successful restitutions are described. The projects concerned VUL special and departmental libraries and the Main Library. In mid-2010 the two projects were merged into one project working group that took over its agenda. The process of merging the previously separate projects and the combined analysis of the existing data are described through the example of the French printed materials supplied to Vienna University Library by the GESTAPO
Ergebnisse der Provenienzforschung an der Fachbereichsbibliothek Judaistik der Universität Wien
No full textThe Jewish Studies Library is a special library of Vienna University Library. When it was founded in 1966 the Jewish Studies Library, which was then a library belonging
to the Department of Jewish Studies, received a gift of books from the Vienna
University Oriental Studies Departmental Library. Due to the NS and SS sympathies
of the former head of the Oriental Studies Departement, Viktor Christian, especially
the books donated to the Jewish Studies Library had to be checked with regard
to their provenance. Case studies discussed in the article concern the results of the provenance research with regard to the »Ahnenerbe loan« as well as Ludwig
Feuchwanger, a present of the GESTAPO and further restitution cases (Belf bookstore,
Wolf Krautstück). Second hand purchases in connection to the acquisition of looted
goods in good faith or presents by the Jewish Community Center Vienna could also be established. Although only few looted books could be found in the Jewish Studies Library, the examples discussed in the article show how complex the holdings
situation can be in a library for which the issue of looted books seems at first sight to
be irrelevant on account of its foundation date

Warum Giraffen manchmal sterben müssen
Full text linkAuf den ersten Blick hat die Leitung eines Zoos wenig mit der Leitung einer wissenschaftlichen Bibliothek zu tun. An beide Einrichtungen werden jedoch vergleichbare Erwartungen zum Bestandsaufbau und dessen Pflege gestellt. Aussonderungen stören dieses Bild. In öffentlich zumeist emotional geführten Debatten ist ein rationales Handeln kaum vermittelbar. Wie dem Thema sachlich und selbstbewusst begegnet werden und inwiefern ein letztlich erfolgreicher Tabubruch eines Zoodirektors aus dem Jahr 2014 für Bibliothekar*innen ein Beispiel sein kann, soll im Folgenden diskutiert werden. Dabei wird auf die seit mehr als drei Jahrzehnten geführte Debatte um Aussonderungen aus wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken und auf die neuere Diskussion über befürchtete Verluste in der kulturellen Überlieferung eingegangen
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
Variations 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
Rückblicke eines Buch- und Zeithistorikers
Full text linkIn this lecture, the author reflects on more than 25 years of experience as a scholar of German literature and contemporary historian in Austria and in so doing relates the gradual change in attitudes among Austrians toward their »Nazi« past and their equally gradual acceptance that their country was not primarily the first victim of Nazi aggression, but deeply involved in what was the Nazi goal to ultimately exterminate the Jews of Europe
