Full textThis article surveys the cultural record in the digital environments and the current efforts to capture this record and circulate it as knowledge, documents, and collections in memory institutions, and provide a basis for the creation of new knowledge. The goals of digital preservation are interpreted in the light of recent arguments about the role of the humanities in providing access to the complete human experience, of the changing idea of the archive representing that experience, and of the roles of memory institutions in supporting the humanities project. Two sets of current preservation activities are identified and surveyed - web archiving (of national web spaces, web spheres) and curated collections of primary sources from the history web. The emerging forms of interpretive and point-of-view history, invented archives, and digital libraries capturing local history, everyday experience and community memory illustrate how digital media can support interpretive and multi-perspective historiography.

Full textIn the field of user studies, very little research has been done on rendering of services in academic libraries. These services need to be examined in depth in order to be able to provide academic library users with more appropriate information services. There is clearly a need to determine what the real needs of academic library users are and how they prefer to look for information. The rapid growth of information technology could have a great influence on service rendering to academic library users.

Full textThe aim of the following study is to tackle the notion of knowledge and culture among Savoie’s secular clergy, from the 18th century to 1860, when Savoie was annexed by France. The first part focuses on the circulation of clergymen’s books. It depicts the way books are used by scholars at the Collège Chappuisien of Annecy, then in seminaries and different universities, as well as for lectures or ecclesiastical retreats. Besides, books are bought, passed on to colleagues and laymen, as one can learn from the very few commonplace books left. One can read in wills how libraries, whose volumes have been inherited or purchased over the years, are , most of the time, subsequently transmitted to relatives that are men of the cloth too, or scattered to the benefit of bishops, vicars or different institutions, which tends to prove the existence of intellectual networks. Books can thus be said to connect the world of the dead to that of the living. The second part shows that they are also at the very heart of intellectual debates, which explains why their circulation was controlled by religious authorities. Books are thus central points of reflection over Protestantism, Jansenism, the Enlightenment, the 1792 revolutionary episode and eventually what is at stake in 19th century modernity. Savoie, as a catholic boarder, appears as some original basis in the maturing process of ideas as well as their circulation between the kingdom of Italy, France and Europe. The third part, based on a corpus of 18th century libraries mostly and 19th century legacies to Chambéry’s Grand Séminaire, offers a classification of readers, among whom various types of parish priests, canons and bishops. By confronting the different centers of interest related to theology and profane science, some clerical identities are taking shape, factors of cohesion and signs of intellectual curiosity appear, showing that to the believers, Savoie’s secular clergy both keeps and spreads a broader culture and that its members are in no way cut off from the evolutions of their time

Full textThe subject of this study is the reconstruction and analysis of the Mainz Carmelite library from the beginning of the 15th century (documentation of the earliest archival material) until the closure of the convent as a result of the secularisation in 1802. Lacking a catalogue and considering the existence of only few documents, the research project is mainly based on the surving copies once belonged to the convent: until today are registered 1589 copies with the provenance „Mainz Carmelites“, including 39 manuscripts and 289 incunables and early printed books until 1520. The study intends to be a contribution for the reconstruction of monastic libraries with the aim to unify surviving fragmentary collections. The known copies of the former Carmelite library have been looked into for their bibliographic and copy-specific records in order to get an idea of the intellectual and spiritual knowledge. Provenance research based on both personal as well as institutional ownership was done, including also information on circulation, acquisition and handling of the material in and outside monastic life.

At the University of Arizona Libraries, we are moving from a traditional mediated service environment towards increased user self-sufficiency, where the basic circulation transactions become unmediated. Come learn how we have implemented open holds, reserves, self check-in, streaming audio and soon streaming video. Learn how we have consolidated services into a single desk, the challenges we faced and competencies required to create a new future for your circulation staff.

The department of circulation in the library is the first place to face users; thus, the strength and weakness of circulation service has much impact on users’ impressions as well as the image of the library. The evaluation of service quality, which is user-oriented, can help the library staff realize users’ opinions. To meet the efficiency, the study integrates LibQUAL+® and the features of circulation service in university libraries in Taiwan. The purposes of this study are the following: to set the evaluation criteria for circulation service quality in university libraries in Taiwan, to offer suggestions for the measurement method. It is hoped that this study will render university libraries references of evaluating circulation service quality. This study is conducted by literature analysis and interviews to draft the evaluation criteria for circulation service quality, then by questionnaire surveys to ensure the one. This research also proposes suggestions for the measurement method through examining the quality of top one university library on “The Quantity of Annual Borrowers” in 2009. The results indicated that (1) the evaluation criteria of circulation service quality in university libraries in Taiwan contain four dimensions and thirty-eight items ; (2) LibQUAL+® , a scale of 1 to 9 in three columns levels, is not suitable for university libraries in Taiwan; the scale of 1 to 5 in two columns (perceived, desired service levels) is recommended instead ; (3) some criteria are not approved by subjects is due to their low expectations for library service rather than ignorance. According to the results, there are five suggestions: (1) The library should keep amending the evaluation criteria of service quality ; (2) The library should regularly implement the circulation service quality assessment ; (3) The library should employ the Internet and paper tool to execute the appraisal ; (4) The library should value the content of evaluation criteria ; (5) The library should build multiple platforms which enable users to express comments and complaints anytime.
