BIBLIOGRAPHICAL HEURISTICS AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SEARCH: CORRELATION OF THE CONCEPTS ESSENCE

The purpose of the article is to identify the essence of the concepts «bibliographical heuristics» and «bibliographical search», to discover the relationship between them. The methodology is based on the use of scientific analysis, synthesis, comparison methods, that allowed us to identify, investigate and compare the essence of the proposed concepts. The use of a structural approach made it possible to build a communication environment of bibliographical heuristics. The scientific novelty of the work consists of the correlation of the concepts’ essence «bibliographical heuristics» and «bibliographical search»; the definition of the communication environment of bibliographical heuristics. Conclusions. The concepts of bibliographical heuristics and bibliographical search are correlated as a science and an object of study of the science. Bibliographical heuristics is the science of theory and practice of bibliographical search. Bibliographical heuristics develop rules, determines the search strategy depending on the type of search query, the criteria for issuing search results, and the nature of the dialogue between the user and the information search engine. It is the theoretical basis of bibliographical search. The object of bibliographical heuristics is bibliographical search as the process of bibliographical activity associated with the search for bibliographical information, enhanced by intuition, logic, experience, which depends on the specific situation and tasks of the search. The main components of bibliographical search are bibliographical finding and identifying. Bibliographical search is a clarification of bibliographical records, an identification of missing elements in them, a correction of errors distorted in the query. Bibliographical identifying is an exhaustive selection of bibliographical records on a particular topic. Bibliographical heuristics and bibliographical search exist in a certain communication environment that accumulates and disseminates bibliographical knowledge. Key words: bibliographical heuristics; bibliographical search; correlation.

THE FORMATION OF THE REPOSITORY OF PERSONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC INDEXES: DEFINITION OF REQUIREMENTS AND STATEMENT OF TASKS

The purpose of the article. The paper is devoted to updating the study of the formation of the repository of personal bibliographic indexes as a part of the research and information project of the Institute of Biographical Research of the V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine "Ukrainian National Biographical Archive". The methodology is based on the use of methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, review-analytical, classification, and terminological methods. These methods have identified the repository as one of the most representative forms of presentation of consolidated biobibliographic resources, designed to provide free access to bibliographic information about documents and their full-text versions. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the intensification of scientific research on repositories as a universal structure for the presentation of electronic data of various thematic areas, including biographical and bibliographical content. Conclusions. The historiography of the problem of electronic repositories of consolidated information resources developing is highlighted. It was conditionally divided into two groups of sources. The first one includes works devoted to the formation of integrated biographical and bibliographic information resources. The second group presents the experience of creating institutional repositories by domestic scientific institutions. The requirements for the repository of the personal bibliographic indexes of the "Ukrainian National Biographical Archive" are determined. The tasks, that the Institute of Biographical Researches of the V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine has as its disposer on the providing the accumulation, preserving, systematizing, and representing the records of biobibliographical character by giving the open access to descriptive, bibliographical information and electronic versions of the records, are formulated.

Visiting the complex bibliography of The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Erebus and Terror, 1839-1843

Deciphering the bibliographical details of The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Erebus and Terror, 1839-1843 has long been problematic owing to production of the Zoology in 24 parts over a 31-year time span (1844−1875), two publication periods (1844−1848, 1874−1875) each with a different publisher, non-consecutive issuance of text pages and plates, non-uniform plate numbering, ambiguities in publication dates and publisher imprints, conflicting bibliographical information in previous reports, and perhaps most of all the extreme rarity of parts still in their original state. The present report, based on what appears to be the most thorough examination of parts and reissues in original state to date, closes numerous knowledge gaps.

Quality and Cost Matter: Students’ Perceptions of Open versus Non-Open Texts through a Single-Blind Review

Although prior research has examined student perceptions of open materials, research investigating students’ perceptions of open versus copyright-restricted textbooks through a direct, experimental approach is lacking. To better understand how students perceive open textbooks outside the context of the classroom, we examined students’ perceptions of unfamiliar open and non-open (copyright-restricted) psychology textbooks. Forty-four introductory psychology students reviewed chapters from two open textbooks and two traditional/copyrightrestricted textbooks and then ranked the textbooks from most to least favourite. Students rated each chapter on several quality measures, including layout structure, visual appeal, ease of reading, and instructional features. Next, bibliographical information and cost were revealed, and students re-ranked the textbooks accordingly. Before knowing the bibliographic information and cost, students were more likely to prefer the two traditional textbooks. There after, they were more likely to select the open texts. Students often referred to textbook price as a determining factor for their change.

The Writings of Sir Lewis Namier

Sir Lewis Namier (1888–1960) was not only a major twentieth-century historian, a pioneer of ‘scientific history’ who gave his name to a particular form of history-writing, but an important public intellectual. He played a significant role in public affairs, as an influential adviser to the British Foreign Office during the First World War and later as an active Zionist. This article offers a new perspective on his life and work by providing, for the first time, as comprehensive a bibliography as is currently possible of his voluminous writings: books, scholarly articles and contributions to periodicals and newspapers, including many hitherto unknown, and some published anonymously. The annotation includes not only bibliographical information but explanations and brief summaries of the content. The introduction gives an account of Namier’s life and an assessment of his significance as a historian and thinker.

A subjetivação capitalista enquanto mecanismo de precarização do trabalho docente na educação superior

The model of capitalist subjectivation determines the generalization of competition as a norm of conduct, intimate individuals to conceive of themselves and behave like a company, order social relations according to the market model and change the logic of public policies. The present essay aims to understand, from the theoretical reference of P. Dardot C. Laval (2016a, 2016b, 2010), F. Guattari (1985, 1996), G. Alves (2008, 2011), D. Mancebo (2007, 2003), among others, how the subjectivity of the teaching worker of higher education is constituted, in the face of the current hegemonic expansion process of toyotista / neoliberal rationality, and how this process of capitalist subjectivation has interfered with working conditions and the mode / life project of education professionals. It is an exploratory study regarding the objectives and bibliographical information about the procedures of hermeneutic-analytical character. Initially, the essay deals with the transformations in the political-economic, cultural and productive structure inherent to the expansion of flexible capitalism, which underpinned the construction of a new model of "governance" and the formation of a new (self-governing) productive subject. Then, it presents the mechanisms and movements used by the toyotista / neoliberal rationality in the formation of a productivist and competitive subjectivity and its implications on the rhythms and working conditions. Finally, it intents to understand the metamorphoses of the teaching work, including the phenomenon related to the intensification and precarization of its working conditions, due to the process of capitalist subjectivation.

Jahrbuch für Hegelforschung

Beyond Hegelianism and it being superficially updated, Hegel’s authentic thinking in his awareness and assessment of problems remains relevant. Despite great progress in recent years, to date Hegel’s work has neither been fully edited nor sufficiently assimilated due to its complexity. This yearbook aims to contribute to our historical and systematic understanding of Hegel’s philosophy through publications of new texts, interpretations and bibliographical information. It also pays particular attention to both the history and influence of Hegel’s philosophy in and on other disciplines.

Mobilization of Moroccan Women

This article draws on the experience gained and the lessons learned during and after the Arab Spring protest movements that called for economic, social, and political change. It raises the issue of the role Moroccan women played in these movements. In attempting to address this issue, the article relies essentially on bibliographical information and data derived from studies and writings that dealt with the feminist struggle in Morocco as a whole. It suffers from the lack of openness to a sociological approach or a political viewpoint in Arab and foreign scientific productions concerned with the struggles of women in Arab or Maghreb countries. In parallel, the study uses ethnographic research discerningly, since accurate and sufficient information available on the local protest movements has not received the necessary follow-up and definition. The article first monitors the shift in the dynamics of women’s protests and focuses on the persistent manifestations within them; it also considers the motives that contribute to the growth of this dynamic while stressing the extent of women’s participation in the February 20 Movement and in rural areas. It then identifies the results and extensions of this participation in relation to the requirements of empowerment. Finally, it discusses the problem of development and democracy that prevent women from achieving the desired change in the short term.

Editions of the 1613 Map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania: Historiographical Aspect

Based on the initiative of Duke Nicolaus Christophorus Radziwill the Orphan (1549–1616), Great Marshal of Lithuania (1579–1586) and Voivode of Vilnius (1604–1616), a map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, titled Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae caeterumque regionum illi adiaciencium exacta descriptio…, was printed in 1613 in the printing house of Willem Janszoon (Blaeu), which was famous at that time for the manufacture of globes and wall maps. It was drawn by Hessel Gerritsz (Lat. Gerardus) and prepared by a team of professionals gathered by N. Ch. Radziwill. The written part of the map (which addresses the reader), separately published also in 1613, glued together from three pages, and designated to the buyers of the wall map of the GDL, was prepared by the famous GDL painter Tomasz Makowski (1575–1630). From 1613 to 1631, this map of the GDL functioned only as a wall map. When W. Blaeu began to publish atlases as well, he included the 1613 wall map of the GDL, which was pressed from four copper plates and included a narrow ornamental edging, in his atlas Appendix Theatri A.Ortelii et Atlantis G. Mercatoris. The readers of the atlas could not observe the territory of the GDL in its entirety, as it was depicted in four pages. Thus, already in another edition of the atlas that was published during the same year of 1631, the map of the GDL was changed and its copper plates were reordered: the segment depicting the lower part of the Dnieper was cut away, and the whole ornamental edging of the map was discarded. Two maps then took shape: one of the GDL’s territory, glued together from four disproportionate plates, and one depicting the lower part of the Dnieper, glued together from two plates. Such a large map of the GDL’s territory (73 × 75 cm) was collapsible and would be included in Blaeu’s atlases near a written piece on Lithuania in the editions of 1631, 1634–1649, and even in one that was published in c. 1670. This map, unconventional for usage in atlases (as it was not bound), was replaced in 1649 by another map made on the basis of the original 1613 variant by W. Blaeu’s son, Joan. This particular specimen was a smaller-scale version of the GDL’s map and was oriented toward the west, not the north. However, as Blaeu’s printing house began to include the 1613 map of the GDL in its atlases, this does not mean that it had also stopped publishing it as a wall map – the buyer could have it made in the same printing shop and purchase, for example, a wide ornamental edging as a supplement to their order (e.g., the specimen belonging to the Uppsala University Library). Only two copies of this 1613 wall map of the GDL are extant, and these can be found in the Uppsala University Library and the Herzogin Anna Amalia Library in Weimar. These specimens are unique in that they allow us to see how an authentic 1613 wall map of the GDL looks like, together with T. Makowski’s text about Lithuania, also marked by a 1613 date. Knowing the history of how the copper plates of this map were used, we may state that the Weimar copy is of earlier origin than the one housed in Uppsala (at least by one year within the 1631 period). This article examines the 1613 map of the GDL from the perspective of book science – we provide an analysis of the publications devoted to the 1613 map of the GDL based on the aspect of how it was published. An all-encompassing historiographical study of the 1613 GDL map is not the goal of the present paper. By chronologically analyzing the works of Lithuanian and foreign authors in an historiographical retrospective, it is emphasized how the various authors writing about this map chose to consider its bibliographical information, how did the perspective regarding the structure of this map shift, etc. An historiographical analysis of the publications on the 1613 map of the GDL has demonstrated that the formal aspects of the map’s origins (what kind of copper plates were prepared for the wall map, of what structure was the map used by William Janszoon Blaeu in the atlases of his printing house and how exactly was it used, etc.) are important in attempting to discern how its functioning had developed over the years.
