Library, archive and information management Books

Book SynopsisDie Bibliothek des ehemaligen Augustiner-Chorherrenstifts Böddeken in Westfalen wurde im 15. Jahrhundert innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte durch eine umfassende Schreibtätigkeit insbesondere der Priestermönche aufgebaut und erlangte sowohl durch ihre berühmte Sammlung von Legendarien als auch durch ihre Verbreitung in vielen Tochterkonventen herausragende Bedeutung. Sie fand in einem um 1479 neu gebauten Ostflügel der Klausur ihren nahezu unverändert erhaltenen Ort, in dem bis heute bauzeitliche Wandmalereien von der Aufstellungssystematik Zeugnis ablegen.Der Band widmet sich der Bibliothek in ihrer räumlichen Gestalt, in ihrer über eine umfassende Rekonstruktion des Bestandes erschlossenen inhaltlichen Systematik und in der Ausgestaltung der inzwischen weltweit verstreuten Handschriften des 15. und beginnenden 16. Jahrhunderts. So gelingt nicht nur eine Rekonstruktion des geistigen Horizontes des Böddeker Klosters während seiner Blütezeit als Reformkloster, sondern vor allem eine kunsthistorische Würdigung der dabei hervorgebrachten, qualitätvollen Malerei, die bisher kaum beachtet wurde. Ein Katalog der bekannten Handschriften aus Böddeken macht den Band zu einem wichtigen Kompendium für weitere Forschungen.

Book SynopsisInstitution Archiv gestern, heute und morgen. Was macht Archive so wichtig? Als politisches und kulturelles Gedächtnis initiieren und beherbergen sie zum einen Forschung, zum anderen führen sie den öffentlichen Dialog. Die Idee des Archivs und die Institution, Theorie und Praxis, Begriff und Metapher des Archivs werden im Handbuch ausführlich erfasst die heutigen Funktionen öffentlicher Archive in Deutschland und Westeuropa im globalen Kontext betrachtet. Interessant: der Vergleich mit privaten Praktiken des Sammelns und Erschließens.Trade Review“... Das Handbuch ist – auch sprachlich –eine wissenschaftliche Abhandlung und die angesprochene Leserschaft vorrangig einwissenschaftliches Fachpublikum. ... Das Handbuch »mag einen bescheidenen Teil seiner Aufgabeerfüllt haben, wenn es das Bewusstsein für begriffliche Differenzen und für konkurrierende Verständniswelten im Umgang mit Archiven schärft.” (Antje Schröpfer, in: Niedersächsisches Jahrbuch für Landesgeschichte, 2018)“... bündelt er ein breites Spektrum methodischer Zugänge zum Archiv und hebt sich damit von anderen Angeboten auf dem Buchmarkt ab, die meist ausschließlich hilfswissenschaftlich, geschichtspropädeutisch oder archivkundlich orientiert sind. ... für Archivare und Historiker, die verstehen wollen, warum historische Quellenkritik auch das Wissen über Archivstrukturen, archivarische Methodik und deren Auswirkung auf heuristische Prozesse voraussetzt.” (Peter Wiegand, in: Sächsisches Archivblatt, Heft 2, 2018)“… bietet einen fundierten historischen Überblick und Experteneinschätzungen zu den neuesten Entwicklungen in der Konservierung und im Urheberrecht, im Umgang mit digitalen Speichermedien und in der Archivausstellung …” (in: KulturBetrieb, Heft 4, Oktober 2016)

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Information Now equips undergraduate students with essential research strategies and tools as they navigate the complex information world. It scaffolds the research process through real-world examples, good humor, and helpful exercises. The authors have packed their many years of information literacy teaching wisdom into this short graphic guide—the comic-book style engages college readers and makes the learning experience enjoyable.” -- Ning Zou, Associate Director for Student Academic Services and Learning Design, Harvard Graduate School of Education“Upson and Luetkenhaus have energized the second edition with critical issues for today’s global citizen. The addition and breakdown of algorithmic bias, the SIFT method of fact-checking on the web, and the nuances of Wikipedia are incredibly important for students and lifelong learners alike to engage with and integrate into their daily use of information platforms. A wonderful addition to any high school or college information literacy curriculum.” -- Joelle Pitts, Associate Dean, Carnegie Mellon University Libraries“Information Now is an ideal antidote for students navigating the complex and often overwhelming world of university-level research. Newly updated to address the intricacies of a digital information landscape, this graphic guide is essential both for students producing research projects and for librarians teaching critical information and digital literacies. With relatable dialogue and engaging graphics, this creative approach to the many levels of the research process will draw in even the wariest student researcher.” -- Melissa Mallon, Library Director and Director of Teaching & Learning, Vanderbilt University“The updated version of Information Now takes readers on a fast-paced ride through the world of information. In addition to covering the basics, this book takes a fresh approach to integrating complex issues related to privacy, equity, and bias into all aspects of the information ecosystem. Information Now offers a fun read and complements any instruction program by transforming abstract concepts into practical applications through critical thinking exercises, engaging graphics, and sharp text.” -- Cinthya Ippoliti, University Librarian and Director of the Auraria Library, University of Colorado Denver"While the treatment is novel, and quite a departure from the usual academic presentation, the material is right on the mark. Once you adjust your “textbook” expectations, the authors present you with a most readable, highly organized, and quite thorough exploration of research methodologies covering all aspects from the Dewey Decimal system to advanced Web searches; from ethics and validity to bias and misinformation. . . . Having taught college composition classes, I would highly recommend Information Now as a superb companion text. The relatable dialogue, engaging graphics, and creative approach to the subject matter will keep students reading and even enjoying the book." * Technical Communication *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction: Information Overload 1 The Process: Steps to Finding and Using the Right Information.

Book Synopsis Provocative yet sober, Digital Critical Editions examines how transitioning from print to a digital milieu deeply affects how scholars deal with the work of editing critical texts. On one hand, forces like changing technology and evolving reader expectations lead to the development of specific editorial products, while on the other hand, they threaten traditional forms of knowledge and methods of textual scholarship. Using the experiences of philologists, text critics, text encoders, scientific editors, and media analysts, Digital Critical Editions ranges from philology in ancient Alexandria to the vision of user-supported online critical editing, from peer-directed texts distributed to a few to community-edited products shaped by the many. The authors discuss the production and accessibility of documents, the emergence of tools used in scholarly work, new editing regimes, and how the readers'' expectations evolve as they navigate digital texts.

Book SynopsisAn authoritative overview of the developing field of public history reflecting theory and practice around the globe This unique reference guides readers through this relatively new field of historical inquiry, exploring the varieties and forms of public history, its relationship with popular history, and the ways in which the field has evolved internationally over the past thirty years. Comprised of thirty-four essays written by a group of leading international scholars and public history practitioners, the work not only introduces readers to the latest scholarly academic research, but also to the practice and pedagogy of public history. It pays equal attention to the emergence of public history as a distinct field of historical inquiry in North America, the importance of popular history and history from below' in Europe and European colonial-settler states, and forms of historical consciousness in non-Western countries and peoples. It also provides a timely guide to the state of the dTable of ContentsList of Illustrations xi Notes on Contributors xv Acknowledgments xxv Introduction 1David Dean Prologue: Orphan Cupboards Full of Histories 13Annemarie de Wildt Part I Identifying Public History 17 1 Complicating Origin Stories: The Making of Public History into an Academic Field in the United States 19Rebecca Conard 2 Where Is Public History? 33Hilda Kean 3 Consuming Public History: Russian Ark 45Jerome de Groot 4 Historians on the Inside: Thinking with History in Policy 59Alix R.

Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive history of American public school librarianship.Can I get a library pass? Over the past 120 years, millions of American K12 public school students have asked that question. Still, we know little about the history of public school libraries, which over the decades were pulled together and managed by hundreds of thousands of school librarians. In American Public School Librarianship, Wayne A. Wiegand recounts the unseen history of both school libraries and their librarians.Why, Wiegand asks, did school librarianship turn out the way it did? And what can its history tell us about limitations and opportunities in the coming decades of the twenty-first century? Addressing issues of race, social class, gender, and sexual orientation (among others) as they affected American public school librarianship throughout its history, Wiegand explores how libraries were transformed by the Great Depression, the civil rights era, Lyndon Johnson''s GrTrade ReviewAmerican Public School Librarianship: A History provides us with a richly sourced account of the development of a key pedagogic site in schools and of many of the personal, institutional, and political reasons why they do—and do not do—certain things. This certainly makes it a valuable contribution.In a time when honest, thoughtful, and creative cultural resources are being limited and removed from educational sites, the multiple roles that school libraries play in these conflicts become even more important.

Book SynopsisChronicles these important cultural artifacts and their collection, cataloging, preservation, and distribution.Trade Review"Eichhorn has produced an original and incisive addition to the increasingly lively and crowded international debate around archives, feminism and activism... Her book is a particularly welcome intervention into current debates inasmuch as she is prepared to move well beyond those nostalgic, over-simplified and unreflective gestures towards 'recovering' and 'memorializing' feminist cultural heritage in order to engage in a seriously nuanced discussion of what it means to put 'outrage in order' or to see the cultural products of resistance movements transferred into formal spaces of preservation and - more often than not - into academic institutions marked by money, power and privilege... [A]n intelligently written history of a moment in feminist activism and an equally compelling interrogation of the conditions that ultimately shape one's capacity to think in historical terms about feminism as a movement." - Australian Feminist StudiesTable of Contents PrefaceIntroduction1 The “Scrap Heap” Reconsidered: Selected Archives of Feminist Archiving2 Archival Regeneration: The Zine Collections at the Sallie Bingham Center3 Redefining a Movement: The Riot Grrrl Collection at Fales Library and Special Collections4 Radical Catalogers and Accidental Archivists: The Barnard Zine LibraryConclusionNotesWorks CitedIndex

Book SynopsisIn the 1990s, a generation of women born during the rise of the second wave feminist movement plotted a revolution. These young activists funneled their outrage and energy into creating music, and zines using salvaged audio equipment and stolen time on copy machines. By 2000, the cultural artifacts of this movement had started to migrate from basements and storage units to community and university archives, establishing new sites of storytelling and political activism.The Archival Turn in Feminism chronicles these important cultural artifacts and their collection, cataloging, preservation, and distribution. Cultural studies scholar Kate Eichhorn examines institutions such as the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University, The Riot Grrrl Collection at New York University, and the Barnard Zine Library. She also profiles the archivists who have assembled these significant feminist collections.Eichhorn shows why young feminist activists, cultural producers, anTrade Review"Eichhorn uses this book to argue passionately that collecting-that is, archiving-feminism and its by-products is never without deep context, rich history, and radical foresight."-Bitch magazine"Eichhorn has produced an original and incisive addition to the increasingly lively and crowded international debate around archives, feminism and activism....
