Managing Research Data - - Bog - Facet Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This title defines what is required to achieve a culture of effective data management offering advice on the skills required, legal and contractual obligations, strategies and management plans and the data management infrastructure of specialists and services. Data management has become an essential requirement for information professionals over the last decade, particularly for those supporting the higher education research community, as more and more digital information is created and stored. As budgets shrink and funders of research demand evidence of value for money and demonstrable benefits for society, there is increasing pressure to provide plans for the sustainable management of data. Ensuring that important data remains discoverable, accessible and intelligible and is shared as part of a larger web of knowledge will mean that research has a life beyond its initial purpose and can offer real utility to the wider community. This edited collection, bringing together leading figures in the field from the UK and around the world, provides an introduction to all the key data issues facing the HE and information management communities. Each chapter covers a critical element of data management: - - Why manage research data? - - The lifecycle of data management - - Research data policies: principles, requirements and trends - - Sustainable research data - - Data management plans and planning - - Roles and responsibilities – libraries, librarians and data - - Research data management: opportunities and challenges for HEIs - - The national data centres - - Contrasting national research data strategies: Australia and the USA - - Emerging infrastructure and services for research data management and curation in the UK and Europe. - Readership : This is essential reading for librarians and information professionals working in the higher education sector, the research community, policy makers and university managers. It will also be a useful introduction for students taking courses in information management, archivists and national library services.

Facet Analysis - Vanda Broughton - Bog - Facet Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Facet analysis is an important theory in the fields of knowledge organization and information retrieval. It has been stated that ‘it has dominated what has been termed “modern classification theory”’, and the Classification Research Group of the UK aimed to make it ‘the basis of all information retrieval’. Yet the philosophical and methodological bases of facet analysis are poorly understood by the wider information community and the theory is not well documented. Facet Analysis provides a general overview of facet analysis as a formal methodology for building knowledge organization and search tools and as a general knowledge organization theory. The functions of faceted systems can be broadly categorized as: organizing content; building tools; designing interfaces; and empowering search, and examples of all of these are discussed. Coverage includes: - - a full statement of the principles and theory of faceted systems as developed by Ranganathan and the UK Classification Research Group, and that theory as it is understood today - - discussion of the origin and development of analytico-synthetic classification and indexing tools, and of the use of facet analytical theory to underpin design and construction - - discussion of different applications of facet analysis, not only in conventional information managements contexts (classification schemes and thesauri), but also in e-environments, both academic and commercial, and on the Web - - a survey of the work of a number of current writers and researchers in the facet analytical tradition, including those who work in the digital environment, for which a distinctive parallel strand of facet theory can be observed. - This book will be useful reading for LIS students enrolled on classification, knowledge organisation and information retrieval modules. It will also be of immediate use to practitioners concerned with information organisation, management and retrieval, as well as software engineers, web designers, semantic web researchers and developers.

Bibliotherapy - Liz Brewster - Bog - Facet Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The basic premise of bibliotherapy is that information, guidance, wellbeing and solace can be found through reading. This book draws on the latest international practical and theoretical developments in bibliotherapy to explore how librarians, healthcare providers and arts organizations can best support the health and wellbeing of their communities. There is no standard approach to bibliotherapy. This book considers how different theories apply to different types of bibliotherapy, using case studies to illustrate how particular approaches can be used across a broad range of settings and with a variety of user groups. By focusing on the theoretical basis and history of bibliotherapy, as well as current practice, it helps to identify areas in which bibliotherapy could grow as a field of study and of practice. Bibliotherapy programmes using books to support good mental health are found around the world.

Essential Library of Congress Subject Headings - Vanda Broughton - Bog - Facet Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are increasingly seen as ''the'' English language controlled vocabulary, despite their lack of a theoretical foundation, and their evident US bias. In mapping exercises between national subject heading lists, and in exercises in digital resource organization and management, LCSH are often chosen because of the lack of any other widely accepted English language standard for subject cataloguing. It is therefore important that the basic nature of LCSH, their advantages, and their limitations, are well understood both by LIS practitioners and those in the wider information community. Information professionals who attended library school before 1995 - and many more recent library school graduates - are unlikely to have had a formal introduction to LCSH. Paraprofessionals who undertake cataloguing are similarly unlikely to have enjoyed an induction to the broad principles of LCSH. This is the first compact guide to LCSH written from a UK viewpoint. Key topics include: - - background and history of LCSH - - subject heading lists - - structure and display in LCSH - - form of entry - - application of LCSH - - document analysis - - main headings - - topical, geographical and free-floating sub-divisions - - building compound headings - - name headings - - headings for literature, art, music, history and law - - LCSH in the online environment. - Readership : There is a strong emphasis throughout on worked examples and practical exercises in the application of the scheme, and a full glossary of terms is supplied. No prior knowledge or experience of subject cataloguing is assumed. This is an indispensable guide to LCSH for practitioners and students alike.

Do Archives Have Value? - - Bog - Facet Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This book will explore ways of establishing value and measuring in the archives and specials collections. There is a vast literature about ways of measuring value for cultural heritage assets as a whole, particularly museums and visitor attractions, but archives and special collections in libraries have largely been overlooked. They have been very poor at garnering statistical data and devising ways of measuring the impact of what they do, unlike museums and visitor attractions with their much heavier footfall. Do Archives Have Value? discusses the various valuation methods available, including contingent valuation, willingness to pay and value chain, and assesses their suitability for use by archives and special collections. The book also assesses the impact of the transition to the digital in archival holdings, which will transform their character and will almost certainly cost more. The discussion will be set in the context of changing societal expectations of the archive in the wake of numerous scandals where records to address grievances must be kept irrespective of cost. Value is explored in a range of different cultural and organizational contexts with case studies from a range of countries, including Australia, China, Japan, Malawi, Kenya, Russia and Thailand. There are contributions from Nancy Bell, Head of Conservation at The National Archives, Louise Craven, one of the leading UK archival scholars, Paul Lihoma, National Archivist of Malawi, Helen Morgan from the University of Melbourne, Pak Te Lee of the University of Hong Kong and Richard Wato from the National Archives of Kenya.

A vision for children’s library services in the next decade. This book provides a sound background to all aspects of library provision for 6–18 year olds. It is designed to support the strategic planning and delivery of library services and programmes at a local community level or in schools. The book outlines a vision for children’s library services in the next decade and carves out a strategy for engaging with the challenges and opportunities for children’s librarians and policy makers in the Google environment. This book is accessible, informative and inspiring and offers practitioners the knowledge, ideas and confidence to work in partnership with other key professionals in delivering services and programmes. It provides an evidence base, which promotes and encourages the development of effective library services for children and young people. The case studies, scenarios and vignettes, drawn from UK and international sources, show that the key issues have an international dimension, and the similarities and differences in service provision will be of interest to many. In addition to the two editors, chapters are contributed by a range of internationally known practitioners and academics, offering a wide perspective. Case studies at the end of each section complement themes and practices from previous chapters while rooting the discussion in a specific context. The book is organized into four parts: - - Children’s library services – policy, people and partnerships - - Connecting and engaging – reaching your audience and catching the latest wave (acknowledging the role of technology) - - Buildings, design and spaces – libraries for children and young people - - Issues for professional practice. - Readership : This book is essential reading for all senior library practitioners, children’s librarians and school librarians, subject co-ordinators, and managers in schools. It will also be of value for all postgraduate students on CILIP accredited library and information management courses.
