The issues of methodological approaches toward and criteria of publication selection for rare and valuable book collections of sci-tech libraries are discussed. Based on the experience of CSAL, the need for comprehensive evaluation of books is substantiated: by materials and facilities, level of performance, physical condition and age, circulation, periodicity, and by value in scientific and sociocultural aspects.

A comprehensive evaluation indicator system is the basis of car sharing systems (CSS) evaluation. The purpose of this study is to introduce the principles and methods of indicator selection for CSS, and to identify indicators for evaluating car sharing systems due to the reason that the importance of indicators can never be overestimated in CSS evaluation. A framework to identify indicators for evaluating CSS is proposed with four steps. First of all, the structure for indicator selection is established with application of AHP method. Secondly, adequacy check and redundancy check are carried out to ensure the structure is adequate and redundant. Thirdly, underlying individual indicators are proposed according to questionnaires. Fourthly, to ensure the necessity, identification, and feasibility of indicators, we conduct N-I-F check. We carry out a case study of CSS evaluation indicators to validate the proposed framework from four dimensions: economic, environmental, systematic, and social. The proposed framework is quantitative and it is helpful in CSS evaluation to identify proper indicators and find out the best CSS option.

Methodological Approaches

Inquiry into the causes and outcomes of transnational migration spans numerous disciplines, scales and methodological approaches. Fewer studies focus on immobility. Utilizing the Kazakh population of Mongolia as a case study, this paper considers how non-migrants view the economic and cultural costs of migrating. We posit that three factors, including local place attachments specific to Mongolia, access to information about life in Kazakhstan and the importance of maintaining social networks in Mongolia, contribute substantially to their decision to not migrate. Our findings suggest that the decision to not migrate can be very strategic for non-migrants in highly transnational contexts.
