Academic literature on the topic 'DB. National libraries'

The article gives a brief overview of research on the problems of preparing union catalogs; it shows that the creation of the national union catalogs’ system is a strategic direction for the library and information science development in Russia. The paper characterizes Database (DB) «Siberian and Far Eastern book. XVIII century - 1930: a union catalog» as an integral part of the Russian national bibliography created by the Department of Scientific Bibliography of the State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Providing information on the availability of publications in the collections of book depositories, the DB opens access to the collections of libraries and archives of Siberia and the Far East for a wide range of researchers-historians. Union catalogs of Siberian and the Far Eastern books as a part of the Russian retrospective national bibliography contribute to preserving the cultural and intellectual heritage of the country, making it accessible to modern and future users. The article demonstrates possibilities of DB using as a research tool, and a historical source. The authors present the analysis results of the DB documentary flow, some comparative results of studying book business development in Asian Russia in preand post-revolutionary periods.

Scientific bibliographic description of collections, which includes bibliographic description of the holding items, their systematization and scientific research, serves to disclose the library holdings. The purpose of the article is to study the process of scientific bibliographic description of the collections of Russian literature abroad in the Russian State Library (RSL) in its historical development. The author shows the evolution of this activity carried out by specialists of various departments of the RSL, and using reference to specific scientific articles on the theory of bibliography explains the importance of scientific bibliographic description of collections for creation of retrospective national bibliography.The author analyses and systematizes several dozen works related to the scientific bibliographic description of the Russian literature abroad in the RSL. This part of Rossika in the Library is mainly a single array. The work on its scientific bibliographic description is carried out in the traditional (printed) form, in modern (electronic) form, responding to contemporary trends, as well as in parallel in both forms.The article presents the consolidated list of local databases (DB) of Russian literature abroad, created in the RSL. Two main types of DB are distinguished: 1) Established on the basis of the collections of Russian literature abroad and intended mainly for their disclosure. The names of these resources fully reflect their essence: “Photographs in the Collection...”, “Publications with the owner’s marks from the Collections...”, “Displaced cultural values in the Collection...”; 2) Consolidated databases based on the collections of Russian literature abroad and a number of other sources. It is reflected and even underlined in the title, for example: “Consolidated catalogue of periodicals and continuing editions of Russian abroad in Moscow libraries”.The author collected and analysed scientific articles of the RSL researchers, revealing the history of these databases, the principles of their construction, the goals, objectives, opportunities and prospects. The article presents correlation between the database and traditional bibliographic indexes of Russian literature abroad in the RSL, as well as lists the cases when the DB is based on the index or, conversely, database serves as the basis for it. The author lists, systematizes and briefly describes traditional bibliographic indexes of the collections of Russian literature abroad created by the staff of the Russian State Library, as well as shows how to use technical possibilities in the indexes placed on electronic media.

<p>One of the stages of development of new drugs is a generalization and systematization of existing information flows in the form of scientific abstracts, articles, patents, abstracts, theses, monographs. Often this process for researchers is quite painstaking and consuming, while specialist must possess special skills to find publications, both foreign and domestic origin. It should be noted that the search complicated also a great variety of input data formats which can vary depending on the search engine, database type, nature magazines.</p><p>Scientific information on medicines intranasal topical and systemic use in a variety of distributed databases and libraries, some fragments of it were published in scientific journals in many languages in the form of abstracts, articles, short communications and patents. Systematics and processing of such information in diverse research causes some complications.</p><p>Objective. To analyze the art software that can be used to systematize the published data on intranasal drugs.</p><p>Methods. The material used available software used for organizing research. Served as the Information theses, articles, patents, theses and dissertations on nasal medications. In analyzing the resulting software functionality based on convenience, intuitive and availability.</p><p>Results and discussion. Initially performed literature search intranasal medicines remotely through internet network in such well-known databases as the US National Library of Medicine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), full-text database ScienceDirect (http : //www.sciencedirect.com/), full-text database Springerlink (http://www.SpringerLink.com), a specialized database "Inventions (Utility models) in Ukraine" (http://sips.gov.ua), specialized DB "Russian patent documents» (http://www1.fips.ru/), scientific digital library eLIBRARY.RU (http://elibrary.ru), national Library of Ukraine Vernadsky (http: // www.nbuv.gov.ua/).

The main objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate the presence of national libraries in Latin America within the open gov portals of their country. Different concepts related to the subject are addressed in order to constitute a theoretical framework that allows understanding the complexity of the thematic, among them the following can be mentioned: national library, law of access to public information, public policies and open government plan that each country carries out. Methodologically, the web pages of each information unit are observed in order to establish if they have the elements that are part of open government. The method of virtualized observation is used which, through the creation of a web form, in which they are analyze each of the sites in question. The main axes that make up the government (transparency, collaboration and citizen participation, and accountability) were those that were considered to carry out the analysis. In order to establish a state of the situation is that compiled the legislation on access to public information to understand the importance in integration in the open government. Subsequently, the results obtained from the evaluation of the different cases are compared, establishing the situation in which each national library is located. Towards the end of this thesis, the elaborated guidelines that try to be useful so that each institution can be integrated into this system of government can be observed. By way of closure, the conclusions that aim to shape a panorama of the current reality of Latin America around the subject are outlined.

This work analyses the origin of conservation ethics’ knowledge among the employees of three national libraries (New Zealand, Wellington; France, Strasbourg; Switzerland, Berne). For each of these countries, one notices that the liveliest conservation ethics’ notions are related to contexts specific to each country. Assuming that knowledge based on an empirical or collective experience is firmly anchored in each individual, one can deduct that a conservation ethics’ education using this type of experience has more chances to come to fruition. In this present case, this would enable the libraries to better respond to the legal engagements they are tied to. These legal mandates ask them to preserve and conserve their collections for the posterity. An online survey allowed collecting information by the employees of those three institutions. Specific context could be localised for those countries. Using those specificities, it is suggested to adapt the conservation ethics’ education at professional level, to lead staff to take responsibility towards conservation issues as soon as they start to work for the institution and to maintain this knowledge up to date. A large part of the damages present within libraries’ collections are generated by handling. For this reason, it is important to optimise conservation ethics’ knowledge among libraries’ staff at all hierarchical levels. A survey within three national institutions: National Library of New Zealand, National and University Library of Strasbourg and Swiss National Library showed that specific fields exist in which employees of each institution recognise potential dangers for the future conservation of the collections. These sensitisations form a base on which it is possible to build a conservation ethics able to respond to the legal mandates attributed to the libraries by their governments. Sensitisation to a given problem allows understanding it almost to an instinctive level. This comprehension level is much deeper than the sole theoretical level. It allows developing a consciousness towards a problem. The gap between consciousness and responsibility towards a problem is very narrow. Accepting the legal collections’ conservation’s mandate from their governments, the institutions have to ensure the adequate response of the whole staff to it. To reach this goal, they have the ability to act at various levels: At the level of their own definition and evaluation of their conservation’s action, At the level of the various professional educations related to the library’s field, promoting a complete conservation ethics’ education, At the level of creating a responsibility feeling by all employees as soon as they start working for the library, encouraging them to consider conservation ethics as part of their professional duties, At the level of checking and maintaining conservation ethics’ level up to date among the staff, organising regular information meetings, workshops, forums or else on the topic of conservation ethics, Underlining the presence of conservation ethics at all levels and within all actions including collections’ objects, the library supports one of its main goals, which is to transmit the collections to the next generation in the best possible condition.

Between 1938 and 1945 thousands of books were looted by the National Socialists and brought to the Austrian National Library. This thesis gives an outline of the role of the library under the NS-regime and further presents current results from the provenience research project. The aim of this thesis is to create awareness among the public and media for the plundering of libraries and collections. Moreover, it highlights the painful fate of victims, which is hidden behind the looting of books. This thesis explains why it has taken the library decades to complete the restitutions and to come to terms with its past. First, a review of literature and a research on the internet is undertaken. Then qualitative interviews are conducted with four experts on this field. The interviews aim at identifying current results and barriers of the provenience research. Furthermore, an international conference is attended to gain new insights into the subject matter. In conclusion, reasons for the late restitution process are demonstrated and it is shown why the chapter of the National Socialist era represented a great taboo in the history of the Austrian National Library. Furthermore, this paper makes a significant contribution to the Austrian culture of remembrance commemorating the victims of the Nazi-regime. Moreover, the thesis is intended to encourage a diverse discussion among the public and to sensitise people to the issue of provenience research and restitution.

Studies of the seventeenth century Mexican printed book consider it as an extension of the legacy of the sixteenth century typographic tradition, whose only distinctive characteristics lie in the increase and diversity of printers and in the decrease in the material and artisanal quality of their printed matter. . Both characteristics respond to a greater need for dissemination for the effective communication of the administrative, judicial, religious, political and educational propaganda of the viceroyalty. However, other studies have focused on highlighting specific aspects of the seventeenth century printing press through the analysis of particular works or the study of the production of printers, as is the case of the production of Bernardo Calderón's Widow; However, in general, the history of the Mexican book considers that the seventeenth century print did not present notable variants, except for some insignificant ones such as the decrease in images on the covers, the increase in ornamentation, the reduction of formats and the preference of the vulgar languages ​​for the printing of the works. In this sense, the relevance of the analysis of the 17th century New Hispano prints consists in broadening the understanding of the development of the printing press in Mexico, as well as in providing the distinctive characteristics of the prints of this period.

This thesis addresses issues concerning the deliberate and calculated attack on cultural heritage such as libraries, archives and museums in the armed conflict of Ex-Yugoslavia. Its cultural heritage reflected the diversity of the Yugoslavian people and was for this reason a popular target in the war 1991 - 1996. It illustrates how attacks on cultural property across all countries are political as well as symbolic acts and points out the significance of strategic warfare. Furthermore, the challenge of protecting them through the international community and UNESCO conventions is analysed. First, a review of literature about the protection of cultural material and institutions is undertaken in order to identify its utmost significance and the motivation for cultural destruction in armed conflicts. Further qualitative interviews have been conducted with library directors and museum curators in Sarajevo and Osijek. In addition, a written statement is obtained from the National Library in Vienna. The analysis of interviews and written statement aims at discovering the importance of cultural heritage and the challenge of protecting them during war. The main outcome of this thesis is that a nation’s memory stored in libraries, archives and museums is of vital importance in preserving cultural identities and in linking the past and the present. However, the international community may find itself powerless to intervene and protect it, as may be seen in the case of Yugoslavia. Hence this thesis documents the fact that utmost respect and worldwide attention is required, in order to protect cultural property more effectively and to prosecute the perpetrators who are responsible for its destruction.

The dissertation is devoted to the elaboration of the theoretic-methodical foundation of forming the suitable libraries’ collections supplying system in the times of informatization society. The evolution of the scientific views concerning the problem of the supplying the libraries’ collections is investigated, and the theoretical elaboration level is revealed. The term system of the researching sphere is improved, the definitions of its basic terms are offered. Main periods of the beginning and the development of the components of the supplying libraries’ collections system are described, conformities to natural laws of development and factors that define the modern condition of functioning of the libraries’ collections supplying system are found out. Foreign experience of the libraries’ collections supplying is generalized. Ways of improving the Ukrainian libraries’ supplying system in the times of forming the national electronic library are scientifically grounded. The theoretical model of Ukrainian libraries’ supplying system is elaborated.

Delivering a copy of every publication released in Austria to the national library has a long tradition. The earliest mention of so called legal deposit dates back to the 17th century. However, since the numbers of electronic publications continuously have increased, many problems have occurred. The aim of this thesis is to outline the development of legal deposit and to analyse the challenges which publishers and libraries are confronted with today. Some possible strategies with regard to electronic publications are also outlined. The thesis starts with a theoretical part which illustrates the formation of today's well-established legal deposit. This part is based on a review of literature and online sources and gives information on which incidents have led to its current legal form. Afterwards, an overview of today's legal deposit law and its realisation are given. The last part consists of interviews with experts in media law and options for a new legal basis which also include electronic publications are described. In conclusion, it was found that several incidents have influenced the current system of legal deposit and that the changes in the character of publication require changes not only of the law but also within the structures of libraries. Nevertheless, it will take some more years until a new, functional way to collect electronic publications as legal deposit will have been established.
