Full textMy master’s thesis is a study of acquisition of photographies during 1958-2008. The questions I proceed from is what patterns lies behind the Royal library's acquisition of photography and how the process of acquisition looks like. The theoretical base which I lean on consists partly of a problematization of the process of cultural heritage and partly of organizational theory. The problematization of the process of cultural heritage is my foundation of this essay. My starting point is that the Royal library make a choice when they collect material to be a cultural heritage and the memories gathered for future generations. I used organizational theory to find answer to how the collection been gathered through studies of the organizations interaction with the members of the organization, the process in the organizations, like goals and policy, and the organizations interaction with other organizations. I used case-study as my method. I interviewed most of the chiefs who were in charge of the unit during the period 1958-2008 and worked through journals of acquisition, annual reports, letters of regulation, exchange of letters and other in-house material. My results are that the acquisition of photography follows the Royal library's acquisition of picture at large. The culture heritage that the library collect for future generations is based on the content rather than the form of the material. This aspect was founded early in the creation of the library and has kept its status as a guiding line ever since. The main categories of collection are based on the motif of the photography and are the following; portrait, topography and events. Events is a new category but a sequel of an old category, historical wall chart. The material that the photographies are made of has varied but the majority have been photographies on paper. Gifts and purchases have been the most common ways for the library to collect photographies. Gifts have been treated differently through the years, from the beginning all gifts were received and the library asked actively for special gifts, later the library decided whether or not they should accept a gift. The policy from both the library and from the government have been vague, but lately they have been working on a new and more detailed policy from 2008.

Full textIn the absence of a state-sponsored South African archive that focuses on collecting, ordering, cataloguing and preserving special music collections for research, the Documentation Centre for Music (DOMUS) was established in 2005 as a research project at the University of Stellenbosch. Music research in South Africa is often impeded by inaccessibility of materials, staff shortages at archives and libraries, financial constraints and time-consuming ordering and cataloguing processes. Additionally there is, locally, restricted knowledge of the existence, location and status of relevant primary sources. Accessibility clearly depends on knowing of the existence of materials, as well as the extent to which collections have been ordered and catalogued. An overview of repositories such as the Nasionale Afrikaanse Letterkundige Museum and Navorsingsentrum (NALN), the now defunct National Documentation Centre for Music and the International Library of African Music (ILAM) paints a troubling picture of archival neglect and disintegration. Apart from ILAM, which has a very specific collecting and research focus, this trend was one that ostensibly started in the 1980s and is still continuing. It could be ascribed to a lack of planning and forward thinking under the previous political dispensation, aggravated by policies of transformation and restructuring in the current one. Existing sources supporting research on primary materials are dated and not discipline-specific. Thus this study aims to address issues of inaccessibility of primary music materials by creating a comprehensive and ongoing national electronic database of special music collections in South Africa. It is hoped that this will help to alert researchers to the existence and status of special music collections housed at various levels of South African academic and civil society.

Full textEste trabalho, ao provocar o diálogo entre a biblioteca particular e a biblioteca universitária, propõe uma política de aquisição e gerenciamento de coleções particulares. Propõe um modelo de contrato de doação de acervos particulares às bibliotecas da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Para tanto, na fundamentação da construção do produto, utiliza-se a metodologia analíticocomparativa para explicar o conceito de coleções especiais, exemplificando algumas universidades que fazem a guarda de acervos particulares em suas várias caracterizações, e tipos de gestão aplicados a estas coleções. Discute a importância do desenvolvimento de coleções em bibliotecas universitárias com ênfase na avaliação e seleção de livros recebidos em doação. Debate a institucionalização de acervos bibliográficos privados em universidades procurando elencar as variadas questões que precisam ser estudadas para que se possa efetivar tal processo. Como resultado da análise, propõe uma política de avaliação e seleção de obras bibliográficas recebidas em doação, listando critérios que orientam as formas para o recebimento e o tratamento técnico do material. Ainda, orienta sobre a importância da análise da biografia do doador quando se tratar de uma coleção particular recebida no todo. Devido a pertinência deste estudo e a complexidade da incorporação de bibliotecas particulares em bibliotecas universitárias, fez-se necessário elaborar uma proposta de contrato de doação para que a Universidade Federal de Santa Maria possa receber acervo particular que atenda às questões de propriedade e direitos de uso para tornar públicas as obras para a pesquisa.

Through the development of special collections, university libraries may be able to introduce certain characteristics, highlights and uniqueness into their holdings. This thesis attempts to investigate the development of special collections in Taiwan’s university libraries, and examines special collections that have already been established. This is done by recording the insights and development processes of some libraries that have experiences in developing special collections, including their development motivation, the establishment process , current status, factors affecting development, possible effects, and collection management, use and promotion. This thesis adopts the qualitative research approach, and the data were collected through conducting semi-structured in-depth interviews and questionnaires. Twenty eight libraries participated in the questionnaire survey, and twenty five librarians from sixteen of the university libraries were interviewed in depth. The findings of this thesis are as follows: (1) The three major reasons that contribute to the development of special collections in university libraries are: the inheritance of existing resources, superiors’ instructions and project funds. (2) In many libraries, the collection development policies include special collections development. The acquisition methods for special collections are similar to those of general collections, including the suggestions of faculty members and acquisition through exchange and gifts. (3) The three most common development types of special collections are subject disciplines, material formats and historical periods. (4) According to literature review and respondents from interviews and questionnaires, the three major factors that influence the development of special collections are library space, budgets and staff. IV (5) According to the respondents, the biggest incentives for the development of special collections include enhancing the quality and quantity of the collection, and helping answer more in-depth information demands. However it may also lead to the neglect of the development of general collections. (6) There are no standard rules for special collections management in staff, display and classification in university libraries. Each library uses a different management style, and the same library may have a number of management styles. Usually, libraries use the same management rules for special collections and general collections, although the special collections are kept together on display and are marked by special codes. (7) Special collections are almost always limited to library use only. And due to the concept of resource sharing, most university libraries provide equal access to their special collections for both internal and external patrons. However, some special collections are accessed in different ways because of user identification or the characteristics of collections. (8) Using library websites is the most common way to promote special collections. Sometimes libraries also plan promotional activities to create more diversity in their marketing.

Full textEste estudo apresentada uma reflexão sobre o papel das bibliotecas públicas, enquanto instituições de salvaguarda do património documental e bibliográfico e da história da comunidade local, no mundo digital e na investigação académica. A literatura consultada permite verificar que os investigadores em humanidades privilegiam o acesso a fontes primárias, aos documentos que transmitem, em primeira mão, as ideias, os saberes, os costumes e comportamentos da Humanidade. E, as bibliotecas públicas, as instituições detentoras da custódia da memória de uma comunidade que se concretiza através de uma política de gestão de coleções especiais, nomeadamente, Fundo Local e Fundo Antigo, são fornecedoras de conteúdos para as humanidades digitais. Perante a dificuldade em delimitar o termo humanidades digitais, percebe-se que estamos perante um novo paradigma no modo de investigar nas ciências sociais e humanas e onde se estabelece uma relação de simbiose entre as práticas de investigação das humanidades e as tecnologias digitais. Sendo que, neste processo de investigação, criam-se condições para a contribuição e enriquecimento da história da comunidade local, através da agregação dos resultados da investigação à coleção especial. O objetivo geral do trabalho é analisar o posicionamento das bibliotecas portuguesas nas humanidades digitais. Assim, a investigação parte da questão: existe nas bibliotecas públicas portuguesas um processo estruturado na gestão das coleções especiais com reflexo para a investigação nas humanidades digitais? Para cumprir com o objetivo deste trabalho, foi efetuada uma análise às práticas vigentes nas bibliotecas públicas portuguesas para a disponibilização das coleções especiais no mundo digital. Para tal, partiu-se do universo de bibliotecas públicas e municipais portuguesas, selecionou-se um método que permitisse fornecer a informação necessária para fazer uma pesquisa integral. Seguiu-se o método da observação direta e análise descritiva dos dados. Conclui-se neste trabalho que as bibliotecas públicas devem olhar além do papel tradicional de recolha e organização das suas coleções. No momento em que se promovem debates para refletir sobre o futuro das bibliotecas públicas e sobre as novas competências dos seus profissionais, o presente trabalho apresenta um ponto da situação no que diz respeito às práticas das bibliotecas públicas portuguesas na disseminação das coleções especiais em ambiente digital. Este estudo coloca em evidencia a importância das bibliotecas públicas nas humanidades digitais.
This paper is a reflection on the role of public libraries ascultural institutions that save documentary and bibliographic patrimony and history of the local community, in the digital world and in academic research. Academic literature shows that humanities researchers value the access to primary sources that transmit mankind ideas, knowledge, customs and behavior. Public libraries institutions are keepers of community memory, that it is materialized through special collection - Local e Rare collection - and therefore they are the providers of contents and raw materials to the digital humanities. Given the difficulty in defining the term digital humanities, it is clear that we are facing a new paradigm in what concerns the social and human sciences research and which establishes a symbiotic relationship between research practices in the humanities and digital technologies. And in this investigation/research process, conditions are built to contribut to the nrichment of the local community history, through the aggregation of research results to the special collection are created (are developed).The main goal of this research is to analyze portuguese libraries role in digital humanities. Thus, the research is based on whether public libraries have a structured process in the management of special collections with an impact on scholarship in digital humanities. In order to comply with this objective, we analyzed the current practices in portuguese public libraries to make their special collections accessible in the digital world. This research is based on the universe of portuguese public and municipal libraries. In order to analyze the necessary information to make an global research, we chose the direct observation of digital platforms, followed by a descriptive data analysis.It is concluded in this work that public libraries should look beyond the traditional role of collecting and organizing their collections. At the moment debates are held to reflect on the future of public libraries and on the new skills of their professionals. The present work presents a situation regarding the practices of portuguese public libraries in the dissemination of special collections in digital environment. This study highlights the importance of public libraries in digital humanities.
