Abstract

In 2008, Quebec, the mother city of francophone culture in North America will host the World Library and Information Congress and the IFLA General Conference. The article discusses the development of the Canadian national library system against the background of the dynamic changes in Canadian society over the past decades which are characterized by relations between the two major language communities, the diverse heritage of Canada's aboriginal nations and ethnic immigrant communities as well as its federal constitution. It discusses the most important recent developments, especially the creation of Library and Archives Canada/Bibliotheque et Archives Canada in 2004 and Bibliotheque et Archives nationales du Quebec in 2006, as well as major infrastructure projects and the main strategies adopted by the two national libraries and the University of Toronto Library system in its function as a de facto national research library preserving important collections of Canadian and world heritage.

Abstract

Purpose - To demonstrate how there is an irreversible momentum towards the adoption of online modes of delivery for library instruction, a process which will have distinctive benefits in the promotion of enhanced levels of information literacy (IL). Design/methodology/approach - The author uses case study and other literature, plus examples from personal professional practice to build an argument. Findings - The momentum towards "cyber-delivery" is inevitable and is driven by a variety of factors, which can be understood as either external or intrinsic to the arena of IL. External factors include the pressure to find the most effective educational approaches to train students to use tools such as Google appropriately (virtual formats are best to deal with virtual challenges); intrinsic factors include the innate suitability of online IL for encouraging independent learning and student-centred education. Research limitations/implications - The research technique consists of a dualistic analysis of dynamic factors driving the digital library movement towards online delivery of IL: this has the potential to be extended to other LIS contexts and tested for robustness and relevance. Practical implications - The paper shows how the LIS practitioner can better understand the relevance of courseware-based models of IL delivery for their user education practice. Originality/value - An insightful summary and coherent analysis of a range of disparate trends in digital library developments helps provide a coherent overview of a fast-developing aspect of the current LIS world.

Abstract

This is a critical descriptive study of the situation of Cataloging as an academic discipline within Library and Information Science studies in Spain. Material and methods: The descriptive analysis of the sectional contents of the General and Specific Guidelines of the degreees of Diplomado (three-year degree) and Licenciado (five-year degree) in LIS and the Curricular Programs of the Spanish University schools or departments. Variables analyzed: the denomination and content descriptors of the course offerings and credit hours. The test-retest method was used, with a qualitative processing of data. Results: General data is given about the studies in LIS: their introduction, the universities that offer them, and the degrees awarded. Cataloging is considered an obligatory core subject matter, and is represented by several courses that present important differences insofar as their denominations, their credits and their character from one curricular program to the next. The average credit requisite for obligatory courses in cataloging in Spain is 14 (1 credit= 10 class hours), and 19.7 if we also consider the electives. At present, this discipline is undergoing a reform that will produce important changes as a result of the adaptation of university studies to the common framework of the European Union.

Abstract

The article describes the experiences and personal impressions of a young lecturer in teaching indexing and classification in the Bachelor programme »Library and Information Management« at the Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien, HdM). Although, in Germany, subject cataloguing is traditionally seen as the business of senior-level librarians, it still plays a major role in the education of upper-level librarians at the HdM. A sound knowledge of indexing and classification seems especially important as they bear the brunt of work at the reference desk, where questions on searching by subject abound. The courses aim at a healthy balance between theory and practice. Practical exercises (which unfortunately tend to be somewhat artificial) and field trips are part of the lectures. Optional courses can also involve project work. It is important to note that students are not only on the receiving end: They can also do valuable research for the library community, especially in their Bachelor theses. Contacts and communication between students and faculty of the HdM on the one hand and working librarians on the other should be upheld and even intensified, which makes networking a very useful skill for teaching staff.
