Academic literature on the topic 'Preservation Services Branch'

Traditional libraries will evolve to digital libraries which are clearly superior at: Dissemination, sharing, linking, storing, and information variety. Therefore, one can say that electronic libraries have specific needs in terms of content, services and long-term preservation. In contrast, digital libraries suffer from several inherent constraints: storage limitation, performance, relevancy, decentralization, lack of semantic, fault tolerance, scalability. The main intention of this paper is to present a design of an integrated digital library system based on peer-to-peer data mining. This article aims also to prove that peer-to-peer mining, an emerging branch of distributed data mining, is a hot research area well suited to overcome intrinsic problems of digital libraries.

The authors discuss the study findings and the Library’s experience in integrating open access resources into the resource base of the information support offered to Siberian researchers and scholars. The dynamic technology of resources organization and use calls for continuous monitoring of the open access resources. Using the open access resources as an object of collection development improves the effectiveness of user services and preservation of socially significant content which impacts the libraries’ importance within the system of scientific communications. The library collection as a library’s strategic element is transforming with widening the formats, generic and specific limitations, and integrating traditional collections with the open access resources. This results in the sophisticating organizational and technological model of collection development. The efficiency of integrated open access library services demonstrate the users’ interest to and demand for them. The open access resources have been being increasingly included into the relevant collection development at the academic libraries. The systematic collection of open access resources can operate as a compensational technological system against other expensive resources. Integrating the open access resources into the collections of the State Public Scientific and Technological Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch proves to be naturally determined and impacts the prospects for collection development.

Although I have worked in libraries since I was in high school (which was much longer ago than I care to admit), I did not become a librarian until 2007. Why I chose to wait so long before going to library school is a story for another time. But there are some advantages to working as a student employee and then as a full-time paraprofessional in a large academic library—in my case, the University of Minnesota Libraries—before going to library school. One is that over the years I have done just about everything there is to do in a library. I have shelved books, worked in circulation, answered reference questions, done collection development, worked in technical services, shifted collections, done preservation work . . . the list goes on. As first a branch manager and now as a library administrator, the depth and breadth of my work experience in libraries has been invaluable; my work as a paraprofessional in particular has had a profound impact on how I approach librarianship in general.

Abstract Introduction. The high level of the restaurant business profitability along with its riskiness makes it possible to consider it as a promising sector of development, especially in regions where there are free niches. Significant dynamism of changes in the external environment of this industry in comparison with others necessitates continuous information monitoring. The purpose of the article is to determine the current state of the restaurant industry of Chernivtsi region and to outline perspective directions of its development in the current conditions. Results. The contents of the «restaurant industry» concept and its evolution are considered. It is determined that the modern tendencies of its development are caused by the formation of a market economy with a focus on leisure organization. An dynamics analysis of the restaurant services market in Ukraine is presented. Market analysis of Chernivtsi region has been given. The role of this branch in the region economy is determined. The employment dynamics in the field of temporary accommodation and catering of Chernivtsi region is analyzed, and the forecast of the considered indicator till 2020 is developed. The dynamics analysis of gross value added and output of the research industry for the years 2014-2017 is carried out, which allows to confirm the stable growth, which for the whole period amounted to 41.1% of output and 37.5% of value added. Conclusions.

The article raises questions of a historical and cultural nature related to the activities of cultural and leisure institutions of the city of Izhevsk in the Udmurt Republic. One of the features of Udmurtia is its multi-ethnicity. More than 130 nationalities live in this republic. Modern trends connected with the construction of a common world space actualize the problem of preserving the ethno-cultural field, which is a unique example of folk culture. The main attention is paid to the history and main lines of activity of MBIC HC “Vostochny”, which is the Center for cultural services for the population of the “Vostochny” microdistrict of the Industrial District of Izhevsk. The House of Culture has been in existence since 1949. By the moment the House of Culture has created all the conditions for the development of the creative abilities of people of different ages, and the audience has a wide choice of different kinds of performances. One of the main directions of the “Vostochny” House of Culture is work in the field of development and preservation of ethnic traditions and culture. For several years effective cooperation has continued with the Izhevsk city branch of the All-Udmurt Association “Udmurt Kenesh” Interregional Public Organization. Together with this organization the “Vostochny” House of Culture organizes and holds some national festivals and cultural events dedicated to various state dates and public holidays. In the House of Culture one of the leading Udmurt amateur art group of the city of Izhevsk is based - Laureate of the Kuzeby Gerd Prize Folk Ensemble of the Udmurt song “Invozho”. Also within the walls of the “Vostochny” House of Culture another national group works - the Folk Ensemble of the Mari song “Osh Peledysh” (“White Flower”). This ensemble is an active participant in international events, where it acquaints the audience with their work filled with a special ethical flavor. Thus the activity to preserve ethnic traditions and popularization of folk culture is a very important area for many cultural and leisure institutions. Studying folklore and giving it different scenic forms makes it attractive to a wide audience of different ages. Despite many problems (primarily financial) folk groups search for new forms of studying ethnic material.

Topicality. One of the most important aspects of innovative marketing management is its focus on the future, which consists in forecasting the possibility of resource extraction, use of new technologies, methods of cleaning, recycling and waste disposal, the ability to meet economic and environmental needs by offering appropriate (or alternative) goods or services . The system of innovative marketing-management of natural resources and conditions, rational use of nature is based entirely on knowledge of consumer demand and its expected changes in the near future, the fuller the product meets the wishes and environmental needs of the buyer, the greater the success of the manufacturer. Such a systematic approach in the development of new information and communication technologies for economic security is relevant. Innovations in marketing management should be considered comprehensively, taking into account environmental factors, as one of the most important components in the future development of the economy, and therefore one of its central links is the study of the market of environmental goods and services, market of environmental needs and environmental demand. environmental safety.Environmental protection, rational use of natural resources, ensuring the environmental safety of human life - an integral condition of economic, environmental and social development of Ukraine. Innovations are the basis for providing an innovative component of marketing management of the economic security of the enterprise, region, state. Sustainable economic development is largely due to the coordinating role of the state in creating conditions for the implementation of innovative marketing management, the accumulation of appropriate funds by enterprises, the use of elements of environmental marketing. That is, without investing real investment in the manufacturing sector, the development and efficiency of innovation processes that determine the economic growth of any country and its economic security is impossible.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine in modern conditions of environmental and economic safety to consider the mechanism of formation of innovative marketing management.Research results. The needs of people in clean natural resources and conditions, in safe goods and services are the basis of strategic state policy - economic and environmental security of society. Of fundamental importance is the focus of production and economic activities on the production of the required environmentally friendly and environmentally safe products that meet environmental quality standards of the product and environmental standards of the environment, withstands production, sales, exchange and consumption. Innovative marketing management promotes the development of basic and applied research, the creation of a special branch of scientific knowledge about the properties and patterns of market dynamics, principles and methods, tools and forms of management of eco-marketing activities in the formation of economic security.Currently, the innovation of marketing management has become universal and has a strong influence on theoretical approaches to environmental management (nature management), of particular importance are studies aimed at stimulating all types of environmental activities and resource conservation. The main direction of economic regulation in terms of economic security is the transformation of the economy - is the soft introduction of certain elements of the economic mechanism without any radical breakage of existing structures to stabilize positions in order to ensure economic security.Conclusion. New technogenic space, organized around new flows of economic and environmental information, transforming production flows, creating a plurality of global industrial networks, including leading eco-innovation environments, on the one hand, contribute to the creation of territorial-spatial and ecoregions, ecometropolises. On the other hand, it leads to the isolation of regions for conducting, for example, organic farming, preservation of traditional forms of nature management, biodiversity. The new global secure economy and the emerging information society have a new spatial form that takes into account marketing management and includes environmental factors in their diversity.It is substantiated that in order to study the theoretical and practical issues of interactions and interactions of technologies, society, space and ecology, the mechanism of innovative marketing management should be applied taking into account the quality of the environment.

The increasing demand for food resulting from demographic growth has required more productive agropastoral practices. Consequently, new areas were selected for agropastoral production in an arbitrary way, disregarding land use capacity. This ends up in acceleration of degradation processes, mainly those related to water erosion. In this context, the system of land use capacity proposes the classification of maximum use allowed for land of a rural property or of a hydrographic sub-basin, in an attempt to make sustainable plans of use and management of natural resources. Concerning current use of land, the system indicates the sites where there are conflicts in use in relation to their use capacity. Thus, it is possible to propose measures to adapt land use to its use capacity. Therefore, in this study, the classes of land use capacity at the hydrographic sub-basin of Córrego Pedra Branca, in Alfenas, in the state of Minas Gerais, were evaluated. For that purpose, the following soil parameters were evaluated: effective depth, water permeability, texture, declivity, erosion class, base saturation, effective and potential cationic exchange capacity, and aluminum saturation. Soil analyses presented values of base saturation and of low capacity of effective and potential cationic exchange, which illustrate the low natural fertility of these soils, as well as aluminum saturation level harmful to most cultures. Thus, land use would be restricted to low impact, permanent crops, silvicultures, associated agrosilvipastoral system with conservationist management techniques, as, for example, direct seeding, soil correction and fertilization, and reforestation of permanent preservation areas

The preservation of desired levels of service quality, product quality and awareness is domineering for firms to stay competitive. Islamic banking system of Pakistan is more growing and become popular that provide the products with the premises of Sharia compliance, but there is problem in this sector is lack of knowledge about the products. Findings relay on data collected through surveys of 300 customers of south Punjab Islamic banking sector. Through the respondent’s opinions, our study revealed that service quality and product quality have significantly relationship with customer satisfaction and loyalty. There is shortage of familiarity about Islamic banking products to the customers and this caused to low satisfaction. Proper information is highly required in this sector to create patronize customers. More findings exposed that customer satisfaction positively indicates to customer loyalty and by using the Andrew Hayes method religiosity only moderates between service quality and customer satisfaction because religiosity is not the sole factor to satisfy the customers without proper information system about products. To maintain the competitive edge there is highly required proper brochures system in every branch with easily access to the customers for more convenience.

Object The authors report the management and outcomes of 55 patients with 60 intracranial aneurysms arising distal to the major branch points of the circle of Willis and vertebrobasilar system. Methods Between July 1997 and December 2006, the authors' neurovascular service treated 2021 intracranial aneurysms in 1850 patients. The database was reviewed retrospectively to identify peripherally located intracranial aneurysms. Aneurysms that were mycotic and aneurysms that were associated with either an arteriovenous malformation or an atrial myxoma were excluded from review. Results The authors encountered 60 peripheral intracranial aneurysms in 55 patients. There were 42 small, 7 large, and 11 giant lesions. Forty-one (68%) were unruptured, and 19 (32%) had bled. Fifty-three aneurysms were treated surgically by using direct clip reconstruction in 26, trapping or proximal occlusion with distal revascularization in 21, excision with end-to-end anastomosis in 3, and circumferential wrap/clip reconstruction in 3. Coils were used to treat 6 aneurysms, and 1 was treated by endovascular parent artery occlusion. Overall, 49 patients had good outcomes, 4 were left with new neurological deficits, and 2 died. Conclusions Peripherally situated intracranial aneurysms are rare lesions that present unique management challenges. Despite the fact that in the authors' experience these lesions were rarely treatable with simple clipping of the aneurysm neck or endovascular coil occlusion, preservation of the parent artery was possible in most cases, and the majority of patients had a good outcome.

While Asian and European countries were grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the first imported case from the United Kingdom surfaced in Jamaica on 10 March 2020. The article will trace the steps taken by the National Library of Jamaica (NLJ) before and during the pandemic while improving the value of our cultural heritage to Jamaica and the wider diaspora. The NLJ celebrated 40 years of sterling contribution to the development of Jamaica from March 1979 to April 2020. It has been a leading voice in the region in disaster management and preparedness. Through its Preservation and Conservation Branch, and oversight from the Disaster Preparedness Committee, the NLJ has become a training ground for professionals in the information and conservation field. While highlighting the work of the NLJ, the article will also present statements and surveys conducted on regional and international bodies. These organisations include the Association of Caribbean University, Research and Institutional Libraries (ACURIL), the Community of Directors of National Libraries (a subgroup of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) and the Society of American Archivists. The surveys conducted gleaned a greater appreciation of the impact of Covid-19 on libraries and archives regionally and internationally. The article will address other pandemic crises that have affected Jamaica. It will also demonstrate that being proactive and prepared for viral episodes can mitigate the risks. The NLJ used the opportunity to facilitate service delivery while being socially distant from its patrons.

This chapter looks at the management of public sector records and archives in Botswana. The chapter starts with an overview of developments in the East and Southern African Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives (ESARBICA), which provides a foundation for discussion of developments in Botswana. It looks at the extent to which the Botswana National Archives and Records Services (BNARS) has fulfilled its role as the overseer of the creation, maintenance, use, disposition of public sector records, and preservation of the country's cultural heritage. It also looks at the impact of information and communication technologies and management of electronic records together with issues of staffing, training, and the challenges and prospects the country is faced with in managing records and archives as a symbol of cultural heritage. The chapter is based on an extensive review of the literature and the author's personal experience. It ends with recommendations on future directions.

Most ultra-Orthodox Jews, a growing percentage of the total population, lack the skills to work in a modern economy, having studied little or no math and science beyond primary school (their curriculum focuses almost entirely on religious texts such as the Torah and Talmud). As a result, more than 60 percent live below the poverty line, compared with 12 percent among non-Haredi Jews. Most also opt out of military service, which is compulsory for other Israelis. The net effect: as the Haredi community expands, the burden of both taxation and conscription falls on fewer and fewer Israelis. Trends towards increased fertility, decreased labor force participation, and increased supply of time to religious studies in the ultra-Orthodox community are explained in terms of the behavior of a “club” that has strengthened its norms of religious stringency in an attempt to brace exclusion. The economic self- preservation of the “club” is akin to the old age security motive of bringing children, where children is a means for parents from their income (female work income, child allowances, and other government subsidies) generating years to their old age unproductive years. The parents to minimize “defection” from the community do not endow the children labor- market skills.
