Der Beitrag beschreibt die Schwierigkeiten bei der Umsetzung einer automatisierten Übernahme aller über Publikationsgelder finanzierten Open-Access-Zeitschriftenartikel in institutionelle Repositorien. Sind Verlags-Dashboards, die den wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen im Rahmen von Vertragsvereinbarungen für die Bearbeitung der eingehenden Verifizierungsanfragen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, in diesem Zusammenhang hilfreich? The article discusses the complexities of implementing the automatic import of Open Access journal articles with a publication grant into institutional repositories, and asks whether publisher dashboards provided to academic institutions as part of contract agreements on the management of incoming verification requests are a useful tool to deal with the issue.

In diesem Artikel soll gezeigt werden, dass Bibliothekar*innen heutzutage ein verlässliches Instrument in der Hand haben, um auf einen Blick den „Marktwert" eines in Buchform publizierten wissenschaftlichen Gesamtwerkes einzuschätzen. Dieses hier diskutierte und getestete Instrument ist „WorldCat Identities", ein frei zugängliches bibliometrisches Instrument von OCLC WorldCat, das heute in der szientometrischen und bibliometrischen Literatur schon als geeignete Messskala für den Einfluss eines Gesamtwerkes benutzt wird. Gerade für die Geisteswissenschaften und die kontinentaleuropäischen Sozialwissenschaften, wo Zeitschriftenaufsätze noch nicht jene überragende Rolle in der Einschätzung einer wissenschaftlichen Leistung spielen, bietet dieses System ungeahnte und für die Bibliothekswissenschaft strategische Möglichkeiten, sich bei der Objektivierung der Beurteilung der Bedeutung eines Gesamtwerkes einzubringen. Der Beitrag stellt allgemeine Aspekte des Systems „WorldCat Identities" vor und diskutiert anschließend die Anwendung in der Politikwissenschaft. Grundlage ist ein Sample von über 100 habilitierten österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen und Preisträger*innen des Skytte-Preises. The article argues that librarians today have a reliable tool at hand to assess the "market value" of a body of scholarly work published in book form at one glance. "WorldCat Identities" is a freely available bibliometric tool under OCLC WorldCat already used for scientometric and bibliometric literature as an apt instrument to measure the global influence of complete works. Humanities and continental European social sciences, where journal papers do not (yet) play a major role in assessing the academic performance and achievement of researchers, could particularly benefit from this system, which, from the perspective of library science also offers an amazing strategic opportunity to get involved in assessing the importance of a body of work more objectively. The paper introduces general aspects of the "WorldCat Identities" system and discusses its application in political science contexts, based on a sample of more than 100 habilitated Austrian political scientists and laureates of the Skytte Prize.

Der Beitrag diskutiert die beiden Verbundkataloge Argentiniens, UNIRED 30A und den Konkurrenzkatalog SIUBDU. Der UNIRED 30A integriert die Bibliotheksbestände von 109 Institutionen, darunter den wichtigsten Regierungsinstitutionen, Ministerialbibliotheken, Think-Tanks, Universitäten des Landes, Banken, Institutionen der lateinamerikanischen Wissenschaftsintegration wie FLACSO, CLACSO, INTAL und die Fundación Bariloche. Der SIUBDU integriert die Bestände von 56 Institutionen, darunter CLACSO und FLACSO und führende Universitäten des Landes aus allen Regionen. Um die Katalogentwicklung der in den beiden Bibliotheksverbunden integrierten wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken zu testen, analysierte der Autor die Präsenz der Gewinner*innen des Skytte-Preises der internationalen Politikwissenschaft für die Jahre 2021, 2022 und 2023 in diesen Verbundkatalogen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass selbst bei sehr renommierten internationalen Politikwissenschaftler*innen ihre Bibliothekspräsenz in Lateinamerika äußerst gering ist und sich im Wesentlichen vor allem auf Werke bezieht, die von Ihnen in spanischer Sprache geschrieben wurden oder übersetzt worden sind. The paper introduces Argentina's union catalogues, UNIRED 30A and the rival catalogue SIUBDU. UNIRED 30A integrates the library collections of 109 institutions, including major government institutions, ministerial libraries, thinktanks, national universities, banks, Latin American science integration institutions such as FLACSO, CLACSO, INTAL and the Fundación Bariloche. The SIUBDU integrates the collections of 56 institutions, including CLACSO and FLACSO as well as leading universities in the country. To test the catalogue development of the academic libraries integrated in the two library networks, the author analysed the presence of the Skytte Prize laureates in political science in the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 in these union catalogues. Findings show that even for prestigious international political scientists, library presence in Latin America is extremely poor and refers chiefly to work written by them in Spanish or works translated into Spanish.

Der Beitrag soll zeigen, welche fortgeschrittenen bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Daten für ein bewährtes Sample von 104 österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen und 51 transnationalen Verlagsunternehmen enge statistische Beziehungen zwischen Indikatoren der Präsenz von Wissenschaftler*innen und transnationalen Verlagsunternehmen in den akademischen Lehrveranstaltungen der Welt (Classroom Citation, gemessen mit Open Syllabus) und anderen, herkömmlicheren bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Indikatoren (Libcitation gemessen mit dem OCLC Worldcat, sowie der H-Index der Zitierung in den vom System Scopus erfassten Fachzeitschriften der Welt bzw. dem Book Citation Index) bestehen. Die statistischen Berechnungen zeigen, basierend auf den Faktorenanalysen, die engen statistischen Beziehungen zwischen diesen Dimensionen. Diese Ergebnisse sind insbesondere in den Tabellen 5 und 9 dieser Arbeit (Komponentenkorrelationen) ableitbar. Die multivariaten Rankings, die auf den mit den Eigenwerten gewichteten Factorscores beruhen, zeigen in der Tabelle 6, welche 15 österreichischen Politikwissenschaftler*innen sich auf den Weltmärkten der Wissenschaften am besten bewährten. Außerdem zeigen diese Methoden in Tabelle 10 auch, dass die im Beitrag analysierten führenden akademischen Verlage der Welt insbesondere für Wissenschaftler*innen der jüngeren Generation gute Weggefährten sein werden, um in Zeiten institutioneller und finanzieller Unsicherheit die Ergebnisse der Wissenschaft verlässlich um den Globus zu verbreiten und die akademischen Karrieren zu befördern. The paper presents advanced bibliometric and scientometric data collected on a tried sample of 104 Austrian political scientists and 51 transnational publishing companies that reveal close statistical links between indicators of a strong presence of scientists and transnational publishing companies in academic teaching classes across the globe (Classroom Citation measured using Open Syllabus) and other, more traditional bibliometric and scientometric indicators (Libcitation measured using OCLC Worldcat and the H-index of citations in specialist journals worldwide, or the Book Citation Index, both monitored by the Scopus system). The statistical calculations, based on factor analysis, show a close statistical relationship between these dimensions. Tables 5 and 9 in this paper (component correlations) corroborate the findings. The multivariant rankings based on eigenvalue factor scores in Table 6 show the 15 Austrian political scientists who proved most successful in the global scientific market. Moreover, the methods in Table 10 indicate that, for early-career scientists, the globally leading academic publishers analysed in this paper are reliable partners in the dissemination of scientific findings across the globe and the promotion of academic careers in a period of institutional and financial uncertainties.

Die Bibliographia Cartographica ist seit fast 50 Jahren eine wichtige Recherchequelle der internationalen kartographischen Fachcommunity. Ursprünglich als Druckausgabe veröffentlicht und dann in eine Datenbank migriert, muss sie aktuell, funktional und erweiterbar bleiben. Aus diesem Grund wurden ihre Daten aus veralteten Datenbankstrukturen in den Verbundkatalog des GBV migriert. Der Artikel beschreibt Herausforderungen und Arbeitsschritte dieses Migrationsprojekts, in dessen Mittelpunkt das Werkzeug OpenRefine stand. Weiterhin werden alle dafür verwendeten Tools vorgestellt und das erforderliche Mapping der Daten ins PICA-Format beschrieben. The Bibliographia Cartographica has been a major search resource for specialists and professionals in the cartographic community across the globe for the last 50 years. Originally a print edition, it has been migrated to a database, which must be functional, extendable and permanently updated. The data have seen a migration from rather outdated database structures to the GBV union catalogue. The paper describes the challenges and procedures of this migration project in which OpenRefine was instrumental. We introduce tools that were used and describe the process of mapping the data in PICA format. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Im Oktober 2021 hat die Koordinierungsstelle NS-Raubgut Provenienzforschung und Altbestand an der Sächsischen Landesfachstelle für Bibliotheken ihre Arbeit aufgenommen. Die Koordinierungsstelle NS-Raubgut hat die Aufgabe, die sächsischen Kommunen bei der wissenschaftlichen Suche nach NS-Raubgut in Öffentlichen Bibliotheken, der Restitution und der Aufarbeitung für die Öffentlichkeit zu unterstützen. Nach einem Jahr der Tätigkeit liefet dieser Artikel einen Überblick über die Ausgangslage und Herausforderungen bei der Suche nach NS-Raubgut im öffentlichen Bibliotheksbereich und hier besonders im ländlichen Raum. The coordination office Nazi Loot – Provenance Research and Older Holdings at Landesfachstelle für Bibliotheken (consulting centre for libraries in Saxony) was launched in October 2021, tasked with supporting municipalities in Saxony in their scientific search for Nazi loot in public libraries, including its restitution and making the results accessible for the general public. A year into its existence, the paper gives a brief summary of the initial situation and the challenges of researching Nazi loot in public libraries, especially in rural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Der Aufsatz skizziert grob die Entwicklung der Spartentrennung zwischen Öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert Er beschreibt die strukturelle Konvergenz der Sparten ab Mitte der 1960er Jahre. Auf der Basis einer Diskursstrukturanalyse lässt sich feststellen, dass sich seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre der Abstand zwischen den Sparten wieder vergrößert. Es wird vorgeschlagen, die Unterschiede zwischen den Sparten unter dem Paradigma der Diversität umzuwerten und dann auf der Basis der Diskursanalyse nach Themen gesucht, die die Sparten im Dialog verbinden können. The paper illustrates how the relationship between the sectors of public and academic libraries in Germany developed in the 20th and 21st centuries. Following an initial period of strict separation in almost all respects and institutional structures, the two library sectors had started to gradually converge in the mid-1960s. On the institutional level, this process seemed to have come to an end by the year 2000, but quantitative discourse analyses show that the communication gap between the two library segments has been widening yet again since the mid-2000s. We propose a change in paradigm to capture the fact that the differences are indicators for an ever-expanding and more differentiated field. Discourse analysis will be used to identify topics and subjects that could serve as either 'boundary objects' or 'translatable objects' in the dialogue between the different library sectors.

Der Artikel stellt die Empfehlungen des Wissenschaftsrates zur Transformation des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens zu Open Access vor und versucht die Kernpunkte herauszuarbeiten. Anhand dieser Punkte wird erläutert, warum mit diesen Empfehlungen deutlich wird, dass auch knapp 20 Jahre nach Unterzeichnung der Berliner Erklärung noch keine echte Transformation stattgefunden hat und auch den mannigfaltigen Anstrengungen auf bibliothekarischer Seite zum Trotz noch nicht stattfinden konnte. Der Artikel greift außerdem die Punkte der Empfehlungen auf, die vielversprechend sind, aber womöglich eines längeren Atems bedürfen als es manchen Beteiligten recht sein kann. The paper introduces the recommendations of German Science and Humanities Council on the transformation of academic publishing towards Open Access, pinpointing core aspects. The key points will illustrate why, 20 years on, these recommendations are indicative of a lack of genuine transformation, and may explain why change has not happened despite the manifold efforts made by libraries. The article also outlines promising aspects that nonetheless may require a long-term view most of the parties involved might not be ready to take. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
