Library Technology and Digital Resources: An Introduction for Support Staff de Marie Keen Shaw

Library Technology and Digital Resources: An Introduction for Support Staff: Library Support Staff Handbooks

Autor Marie Keen Shaw
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2015

Considerăm că Library Technology and Digital Resources este o resursă fundamentală pentru pregătirea în vederea certificării profesionale, fiind construită pe baza competențelor LSSC stabilite de American Library Association (ALA). Relevanța sa este imediată pentru personalul de suport care trebuie să facă tranziția de la gestionarea colecțiilor tipărite la un mediu hibrid, unde resursele digitale devin predominante. Remarcăm precizia cu care Marie Keen Shaw abordează nu doar utilizarea bazelor de date, ci și aspectele administrative critice, precum bugetarea, scrierea de granturi și complexitatea acordurilor de licențiere.

Structura volumului este riguros organizată în trei părți, facilitând o progresie logică de la alfabetizarea digitală și vizuală (Partea I), către infrastructura tehnică de hardware și software (Partea II), culminând cu analiza tendințelor viitoare (Partea III). Această abordare completează perspectiva oferită de Managing Digital Resources in Libraries de Linda S. Katz, adăugând o componentă tehnică detaliată despre protocoale de rețea și securitate, elemente adesea omise în textele axate strict pe management. În contextul operei sale, această lucrare consolidează expertiza autoarei Marie Keen Shaw în formarea personalului auxiliar, urmând aceeași linie metodologică aplicată în Cataloging Library Resources: An Introduction. Dacă lucrarea anterioară se concentra pe organizarea informației, prezentul volum extinde competențele către zona de suport tehnologic și asistență directă pentru utilizatori.

Textul se distinge prin utilitatea practică, integrând 49 de tabele și 22 de casete de text care sintetizează informația, făcând-o accesibilă chiar și pentru cei fără un fundament tehnic solid. Stilul este didactic și echilibrat, evitând jargonul excesiv și punând accent pe fluxurile de lucru reale din bibliotecile contemporane.

Descriere

In the last decade library collections have rapidly evolved from a predominance of print books and journals to an ever growing mix of digital and print resources. Library patrons are predominately served by support staff that is expected to know how to help patrons select and use digital resources. Yet most library support staff (LSS) has not had training to become proficient in finding, using, and instructing others in the abundance of the digital resources of websites, databases, e-texts, digital libraries and their related technologies. Library Technology and Digital Resources: An Introduction for Support Staff is both a text for professors who teach in library support staff programs and an introductory reference manual for support staff who work in libraries. This book will guide the LSS to be able to: ·Distinguish key features and enhancements found among vendors and providers of digital libraries, digital collections, databases, and e-texts; ·Plan, budget, fund and write grants for digital resources; ·Understand the complexity and options of licensing and usage agreements for digital resources; ·Know copyright permissions and acceptable use guidelines for digital resources. ·Understand the basic technologies that support library digital resources including network structures, software applications, and protocols; ·Distinguish between directories and search engines as they relate to digital resources as well as be able to employ advance search skills effectively; ·Explore the resources of global, national, and state digital libraries and their collections; ·Use government databases and other digitized systems and information sources; ·Find exemplary digital resources though other agencies such as museums, university collections and other sources that librarians can share with patrons. ·Create local digital resources of primary and historical materials and artifacts with metadata and cataloging for searchable access. ·Interpret meaning from library digital resources using visual literacy skills. ·Promote library digital resources through a variety of means including social media and online options.

Overall, this book does have a lot to offer the early library and information professional as the topics are easily digested and applied in a variety of library and information settings.. [The book is] a useful primer for library support staff.. In particular, the inclusion of activities and discussion points at the end of each chapter are extremely useful and very transferable to any library instruction programme or setting - it is for this reason that this book may well find its place within a staff development library.
This text offers a nice structure around which to offer a course on digital resources at the LTA level. Chapters on the various digital information resources present the wide variety information tools available to libraries. It is especially useful as a companion for anyone preparing for the ALA/APA Library Support Staff Certification technology competency or for use in a course teaching to this competency.

There is ample first-hand information, along with helpful suggestions for acquiring hands-on familiarity with these resources, and the suggested assignments will be useful to instructors.
This book is incredibly thorough in reviewing the many types of digital resources that may be encountered in all types of library work. From subscription databases to ebooks to national, state and local digital collections and more, library workers will find a good overview of what the resources are and how to acquire and/or access them, as well as related topics such as copyright, security and appropriate use policies.
This text breaks new ground by specifically addressing the LSS competencies developed by the ALA LSSC group and carefully introduces the different digital and techological areas important for modern Library Support Staff. This book would certainly enhance any curriculum and be a strong text for undergraduate level introductory courses in LIS.
