    Rez. in: ZfBB 51(2004) H.2, S.116-118 (H. Jüngling): "Das überspitzt gezeichnete Bild vom Ingenieur,der nur mit Rechenschieber und Zeichenbrett ausgestattet und ohne weitere Hilfsmittel im stillen Kämmerlein erfolgreich neue, nützliche Maschinen konstruiert, stimmt schon lange nicht mehr. Zwar haben Ingenieure die Unterstützung durch moderne Rechner in der täglichen Praxis nicht nur gerne und zügig schätzen gelernt, sie waren sogar häufig Vorreiter bei deren (Weiter-)Entwicklung und Nutzung. Zur Beschaffung von Informationen jedweder Art wurden Rechner dagegen zunächst überaus zögerlich angenommen und gewannen - wie allerdings in vielen anderen Wissenschaftsbereichen auch -für diese Verwendung im Grunde erst durch die Möglichkeiten des Internets an Akzeptanz und Bedeutung. Erste Initiativen, dem möglicherweise spezifischen Informationsbedarf von Ingenieuren entgegenzukommen und der Engineering Community »runde« Angebote zu machen, gehen auf die Mitte der 90er-Jahre zurück. So sind 1994/95 u.a. die Engineering Electronic Library, Sweden (EELS, 1994),2 das Engineering Village von Engineering Information Inc., NewYork (1995)3 und die Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL, 1995)4 entstanden. Zum Vergleich sei angemerkt, dass konkrete Planungen für die Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik (ViFaTec)s der TIB/DFG erst 1997/98 einsetzten. Nach anfänglicher Euphorie hat sich bekanntermaßen relativ schnell gezeigt, dass derartige Angebote trotz teilweise überregionaler Zusammenarbeit nicht ohne erheblichen finanziellen Aufwand zu kreieren und vor allem aufrecht zu erhalten und zu pflegen sind.So hat z.B.die zweite Generation des Engineering Village von früheren, relativ hoch gesteckten Zielen Abstand genommen. Die EELS hat ihr Angebot bereits vor etwa einem Jahr »eingefroren«. Dagegen scheint die EEVL noch immer recht lebendig zu sein. U. a. deshalb soll hier näher darauf eingegangen werden. ..."

    Rez. in: Mathematical intelligencer 27(2005) no.2, S.80-81 (J.P. Ladwig u. E.B. Williams): "This book deals with the basic tools and skills needed in the mathematical laboratory." It is written not only for librarians, but more importantly for undergraduates doing mathematical research, for graduate students, and for faculty exploring new areas. This is the 66th volume of Dekker's Books in Library and Information Science. It is divided into two parts, "Tools and Strategies," and "Recommended Reading by Subject," and it has two indexes: author and subject. The first place a seasoned mathematician is likely to browse is Part II, "Recommended Readings by Subject," just to check the list of resources for his or her subject. The subjects included are: History of mathematics Number theory Combinatorics Abstract algebra Algebraic and differential geometry Real and complex analysis Differential equations Topology Probability theory and stochastic processes Numerical analysis Mathematical biology Mathematics education NOTE: We understand from the editor that contributors for other subjects (like mathematical logie) would have been welcome. Each subject is given a chapter written by a mathematician and/or a mathematics librarian. Each entry gives enough information to locate and even order the resource, and often a one- or two-sentence description. The emphasis is an books, but key journals and on-line resources are also indicated. The chapters generally contain an introduction, a section an general sources, and then sections for the major subdivisions of a field. Sections often refer to general texts, and then further refine the subdivision. For example, the chapter an topology by Alan Hatcher contains a section an introductory books, then sections an algebraic topology, manifold theory, low-dimensional topology, history, and other resources. The section an manifold theory, for example, discusses differential topology, piecewise-linear topology, topological manifolds, and surgery theory.

    Content
    The ten chapters in Volume 11 are divided into 3 parts: Part One, "Information and the Community," contains two chapters to familiarize readers with various groups in the community, their information and reference needs, and how professionals attempt to serve those needs. Part Two, "Interview and Search," devotes Chapters 3 through 6 to the vital task of explaining how to isolate and understand the questions readers put to librarians as well as basic methods of finding the correct answer(s). The emphasis is an practical application of tried and true methods of interviewing and searching. Attention is given to both manual and computer searches. Chapter 6 is a guide to basic information about databases, including CD-ROMS. Part Three, "Library Instruction, Networks, Policies, and Evaluation," is comprised of the last four chapters and covers the activities of reference librarians when not responding to direct questions. This part includes hints an teaching people how to find information as well as the networks that help both librarian and user to discover what is needed. Chapter 10 discusses methods of deciding how well the individual has fulfilled the task of being a reference librarian. Only space and the fact that this text is for beginners limits what information it contains. First, many new developments and potentially important technological changes in the field of information are impossible to cover without turning to technical language and jargon quite beyond the average reader of an introductory textbook. However, basic developments are covered and explained, and there is a guide (via the footnotes and suggested readings) for those who wish to explore the future. Second, this volume is for students and working reference librarians and is intended first, foremost, and always as a pragmatic, practical approach. This is not to discount the importance of research and information science. Leaders and followers in those fields are responsible for much of what is revolutionary in references services today. There are other courses, other places where information science can be considered in depth; all that can be done here is to hint at the joy of the intellectual fields that open up to the information scientist and researcher. Students and teachers alike should be aware that much of the material covered in this book is updated, argued, and dutifully considered in several basic journals. RQ, the official voice of reference librarians of the American Library Association, excels in its coverage of the topics considered in this text. Library Journal, while more general, now offers excellent and timely articles an the new technology and its influence an librarians. The Reference Librarian, edited by the author of this text, offers specific discussions of single topics in each issue, and these have ranged from online reference services, to personnel, to problems of evaluation. And, not to be missed, is the nicely edited, always useful, and sometimes downright inspirational, References Services Review.

    Rez. in: Spektrum der Wissenschaft 2003, H.7, S.95-96 (E. Reinecke): "Mehr als zweihundert Jahre lang stellte der Star unter den Nachschlagewerken, die Encyclopaedia Britannica, sich selbst als echt britischen Luxusartikel dar, obgleich sie schon seit den 1930er Jahren in Chicago produziert wird. Nicht nur die edle Ausstattung der Bände selbst beeindruckte den Kunden; auch der persönliche Besuch eines Lexikonvertreters vermittelte das Gefühl, hier einen besonderen Kauf zu tätigen. Der stolze Preis passte in diesen Rahmen: Schon die bescheidenste Ausgabe des Prachtwerks kostete über 3000 DM. Dann kam das Internet, und alles wurde anders. In Gestalt der Microsoft Encarta trat 1992 ein großmächtiger Konkurrent mit niedrigen Preisen auf. Sie konnte zwar die Qualität der ehrwürdigen »Britannica« nicht erreichen; doch wie in anderen Fällen siegte Masse über Klasse. 1996 hatten sich die Verkaufszahlen der »Britannica« halbiert, auch die Produktion einer eigenen CD-Rom-Version konnte die Talfahrt nicht mehr aufhalten. Sie endete noch im selben Jahr mit dem Verkauf des Traditionsunternehmens an einen Schweizer Investor. Für Computer- und Internetfans folgte eine Ära der Freude: Die neuen Eigentümer passten sich dem Trend der Zeit an und gaben den Verkauf über Vertreter zu Gunsten der digitalen Version auf. Wer zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Britannica erwerben wollte, mußte sich mit einer Scheibe zufrieden geben oder den Weg ins World Wide Web gehen. Im Internet waren die Artikel zunächst sogar umsonst zu haben. Heute werden drei verschiedene CDRom-/DVD-Versionen angeboten, und die Website der Encyclopxdia Britannica ist allseits bekannt und beliebt - allerdings nicht mehr kostenlos zugänglich. Wer mehr als Appetithäppchen will, muss sich auf ein Abonnement einlassen. Dieses ist schnell und einfach abgeschlossen; die Kundenfreundlichkeit der Site und ihrer Betreiber ist durchaus bemerkenswert. Nachdem die Entwicklung der elektronischen Britannica schon so weit vorangetrieben war, gab der Verlag 2002 wieder eine neue Devise aus: »Back to the roots«. Nach vier Jahren rein digitaler Vermarktung kommt eine überarbeitete Neuauflage in gedruckter Form auf den Markt. Nun kann der geneigte Leser sich wieder am Anblick von fast anderthalb Metern Buch erfreuen und trotzdem auf dem letzten Stand sein - zumindest kurzfristig. In der Darstellung des deutschen Vertreibers sind gar die CD-Rom-Versioneu nur noch eine »Ergänzung« zum »repräsentativen gedruckten Erzeugnis«. Was kann einen deutschen Leser bewegen, sich der Sprachhürde zum Trotz für die Encyclopxdia Britannica zu entscheiden - egal ob digital oder gedruckt? Der Umfang ist in der Tat beeindruckend. Allein der zwölfbändige erste Teil, die »Micropxdia«, enthält bereits die Stichwortartikel eines kompletten Lexikons. Das richtig tief gehende Wissen (»Knowledge in Depth«) steht in der 17 Bände umfassenden »Macropxdia«. Auf durchschnittlich zwanzig, gelegentlich bis zu 300 Seiten findet der Leser eine Art Überblicksvorlesung zu Themen wie »Telekommunikation«, »Algebra« oder »Die Schweiz«. So wird der Nachschlagende im besten Sinne zum Studierenden. Insgesamt kommen über 65 000 Artikel mit mehr als 24 000 Fotos, Karten und Illustrationen zusammen. Zur Erschließung dieser Fülle gibt es einen zweibändigen Index der Luxusklasse: mit 700 000 Einträgen, die zum Stich wort nicht nur Band und Seitenzahl, sondern auch die Spalte und die - obere oder untere - Spaltenhälfte nennen.
