Abstract

In 2004-2005, The National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek) conducted a survey for the IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards (ICABS)--an alliance founded jointly by the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), the Conference of Directors of National Libraries (CDNL) and the national libraries of Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.--on the use and development of standards in digital archiving within the international library world. The survey resulted in the present report, and gives an overview of current digital preservation practice in the 15 national libraries of Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The main focal points in the survey are the use of standards in operational safe place environments (the current state of affairs of initiatives on electronic repositories), and the current state of affairs with respect to, and the need for permanent access strategies (such as migration and emulation). The survey also provides an overview of current national and international projects on digital preservation. The study made use of desk research, interviews and an analysis of new developments. This report contains two parts. Part One provides an analysis of the current state of affairs at 15 national libraries. Part Two contains the detailed overviews per library. Each overview is divided into four sections: General; Digital Repository; Preservation Strategies; and Current Activities. The report contains a foreword written by Dr. Wim van Drimmelen, Director General, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, and a foreword written by Renate Gompel, Chair of ICABS. Appendices includes a list of references and acronyms and the Report of the National Library of Australia on Guidance for Digital Preservation: A Summary. It is hoped that this report will serve as a useful guide for libraries and cultural heritage institutions as they face the future challenges of long-term archiving and preservation. (Contains 109 footnotes.) [This research was supported by structural funding from Koninklijke Bibliotheek, the National Library of the Netherlands.]

5. IFLA General Conference, 1990. Section on Research and Theory.

Author

International Federation of Library Associations, The Hague (Netherlands).

Abstract

The three papers in this collection were presented during the meeting of the Section on Research and Theory. In the first paper, "BIEF: A North-South Knowledge Transfer Tool," Suzanne Richer examines the vital importance of scientific and technical information (STI) for developing countries, and notes that BIEF (Banque internationale d'Information sur les Etats francophones) is one tool dedicated to the transfer of knowledge which will enable countries to access informatic and telematic resources and become scientific, technical, and economic competitors. She provides an examination of the characteristics and objectives of the BIEF database, its bibliographic utility centers and training programs, the National STI policies and systems, the documentation center on Francophonie, and BIEF publications. In the second paper, "Library Associations and the Advancement of Librarianship in Developing Countries," Stephney Ferguson presents the positive correlation between the stage of advancement of library and information services and the existence of library associations in developing countries, and notes that, even where associations are weak and ineffective, they are recognized as a potential for good in influencing library development. Library associations in Jamaica, the Caribbean, and the Commonwealth are described as examples which illustrate the impact that such organizations can have in developing countries. Reports in the literature that describe the achievements of associations in other developing countries are used to support the evidence presented. In the third paper, "IFLA's Programme ALP: A Progress Report," Birgitta Bergdahl discusses the objectives, program structure, contents, priorities, and future initiatives of the IFLA Program for the Advancement of Librarianship in the Third World.

Author

International Federation of Library Associations, The Hague (Netherlands).

Abstract

Five of the six papers in this collection focus on public library services, collection development problems, and involvement in literacy campaigns in developing countries; the sixth paper is concerned with public library services in Norway. (1) In "Big Cities, Its Inhabitants and Public Libraries Systems," May Brooking Negrao examines Sao Paulo's public library service to its inhabitants in terms of labor and education factors. (2) In "Collection Development in Public Libraries in Developing Countries," Karen Jesson attributes collection development problems in Zimbabwe and other developing nations to the shortage of foreign currency, import taxation on books, the government attitude toward indigenous publishing, proportions of local and imported material in libraries, and library promotion of indigenous literature. (3) In "Literacy Campaigns in West Africa," Kosi A. Kedem focuses primarily on campaign efforts in Ghana and Nigeria, the agencies involved in the campaigns, and the role of public libraries. (4) In "Bibliotheques a deux portes ou la Bibliotheque scolaire et ses relations avec la Bibliotheque publique (Libraries with Two Doors or the Academic Library and Its Relationship with the Public Library)," Remi Sagna argues that the public library and academic library complement each other in developing nations, and that the two together provide a tool for promoting education and reading in the traditionally oral societies of Africa, especially Senegal. (5) In "Literacy Campaigns in Asia and Thailand," Karmmanee Suckcharoen examines literacy campaigns in the Republic of China, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand. (6) In "Public Library Policy," Else Granheim emphasizes those elements of public library service in Norway that guarantee nationwide user access throughout the country. (MAB)

Abstract

In "How Special Libraries Use Networks," a paper presented at the 1982 International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) conference, David R. Bender (United States) advocates cooperation among academic, public, school, and special libraries in the areas of information management, staff services, and acquisition of technology. He describes the formation of a Special Libraries Association (SLA) task force to study the benefits and constraints of multitype library networks, as well as the results of a 1981 survey of the networking activities of SLA members. Guidelines in seven areas outline criteria for deciding whether or not to become involved in network activity. Four current programs involving cooperation among special libraries are briefly described, including: (1) the Bell Laboratories Library Network; (2) Exxon's international network of information centers; (3) the Textile Information Users Council, which organizes information transfer in the textile industry; and (4) The Insiders, an informal network of special libraries from eight firms. The paper concludes with a list of seven questions for further research and investigation. (ESR)

Abstract

These two papers on the subjects of videodisc technology and medical library networking were presented at the 1982 International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) conference. The first, "Videodisc Technology and Applications" by Earl Henderson (United States), examines the videodisc player and the premastering (five-function process: image capture, processing, signal encoding, assembly, and simulation) of audiovisual material to produce an interactive audiovisual videodisc with entertainment, educational, and electronic publishing applications. Also included is an overview of different videodisc systems and their mutual interchangeability. Both software development and the audiovisual production process are covered. The second, "The Medical Library Center of New York [MLCNY]: An Independent, Privately-Funded Network" by William D. Walker, describes the establishment of the center as a pioneer in biomedical information networking, and its membership structure and financing. Also described are MLCNY programs and services involving interlibrary lending; serials exchange; cooperative acquisitions and cataloging; automated serials control; and the production of union lists of medical serials, monographs, and nonprint items. The paper concludes with a discussion of the reason for MLCNY's success. (ESR)

Abstract

In "Contemporary Needs and Possibilities to Improve the Exchange of Bibliographical Information/Data Between Administrative Libraries (with Special Reference to Modern Technologies)," a discussion of the exchange of machine-readable bibliographic records, Walter Niedermeyr (Federal Republic of Germany) advocates the development of German information retrieval systems as the first step toward online networks capable of providing shared cataloging, interlibrary loan, and cooperative acquisition facilities. He compares evolving communication and information technologies in North America and Europe, and proposes a continuous transition from an offline to an online interconnected bibliographic data system for German libraries. This would involve the transfer of data from magnetic tape services to central data files, investigation of the compatibility of data formats, and the development of programs to check for duplicate records. Also discussed are the offline processing of information, the design of information retrieval systems, the organization of data files, and character set problems. The paper concludes with a glossary of acronyms. (ESR)

Abstract

Two papers on library and information activities in developing nations, particularly in India and other Asian countries, were presented at the 1983 International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) conference. In "IFLA in Asia: A Review of the Work of the Regional Section for Asia," Edward Lim Huck Tee (Malaysia) describes the low level of Third World involvement in IFLA until the 1970's and IFLA's Eurocentric orientation. Lim Huck Tee evaluates the activities of the IFLA Working Group for Developing Countries; its successor, the Division for Regional Activities; and one of the division's regional groups, the Section on Regional Activities: Asia. Also presented are seven guidelines for planning future section programs and an outline of the section's Mid-Term Programme for 1980-1985 for library education and academic, public, children's, and special libraries. In "Modern Technology and Its Impact on Libraries and Information Centres in Developing Countries," P. K. Patil (India) reviews the precepts of the Universal Availability of Publications program, the extent of library automation in technologically developed countries, factors inhibiting information technology transfer, Third World developments in information technology, possible negative side effects of imported technology, the possibility of technological independence through collaboration and alliances, and the development of national information policies and programs.
