Analisis Prosedur Penyiangan Bahan Pustaka Pada Ruang Koleksi Umum Di UPT Perpustakaan Universitas Halu Oleo Kendari

The purpose of this study was to see the procedure of weeding library materials in the general collection room at the Halu Oleo Kendari University Library. The study used the concept of weeding procedures by Yulia (2010: 937) and the research method used in this study was descriptive qualitative research methods. The technique of determining information in this study was purposive sampling with 3 informants. The data techniques used in this research are observation, interview and documentation. The results showed that the procedure of weeding library materials in the general collection room was carried out by making the physical condition, level of use and duplication as a reference in selecting library materials. The stamp "removed from the library collection" proves that the library material is no longer owned by the library and library materials that have been heavily damaged and have low levels of use and library materials with many duplicates will not be returned to the shelf but will be stored or donated. The exchange of collections or grants for weeded library materials is carried out by taking into account the level of use and the number of expands on these library materials. placing the weeded collection in the warehouse first, first, it will first pull the completeness of the collection, such as a book card catalog which will later be used as an archive for the library. The data for the last 3 years of library materials are used by users as a reference in weeding activities carried out and saving content from library materials that are not weeded.

Dialog with OPAC

The author raises the issue of dialogue between the OPAC and the user. The card catalog had a reference apparatus system that guided the reader's work and assisted in the search process. If OPAC came to replace card catalogs, we have the right to consider dialogue a tool of any OPAC. It is proved that the card systematic catalog possessed cognitive, developing functions. However, this cannot be said about OPAC. It was expected that the OPAC would have the Knowledge Base in the form of an easy-to-view hierarchical classification schedules with an alphabetical index. But neither the dialogue nor the Knowledge Base of OPAC in the libraries of the country have. If at the input stage employees have some opportunities to clarify their decisions, then at the search stage the user is completely deprived of them. He formulates the request using his own “thesaurus”, which the program may not accept. The problems of equipping OPAC with reference information for the user, the general principles of working with OPAC are considered. The features of forming the heading of the bibliographic record are shown. The conclusion is made: questions of a thematic search in the OPAC have remained unresolved so far. The rights and possibilities of the user related to the work of OPAC are significantly limited. Many shortcomings could be resolved through dialogue. However, a situation has arisen in the country when potential participants in such a dialogue (system developers, cataloguers and bibliographers in libraries, OPAC’s users) do not meet each other for joint analysis of OPAC. Then, perhaps, the dialogue would appear in the catalog itself, where it is not today.

DENOMINATION OF SPINSTERS AND BACHELORS IN ARKHANGELSK DIALECTS

Terms of kinship are closely related to the lexico-semantic group associated with gender and age denomination, as well as the group associated with the determination of social status. Everything considered a norm has a high social status. Married women and men, children born in marriage fall under the norm. A situation is considered normal when a woman and a man perform their functions in marriage well, i. e. they take care of each other, their children, elderly parents, the house; a woman lives in her husband’s house. Everything that is contrary to the norm receives a negative assessment. Accordingly, people who are unmarried for various reasons, i.e. single men and women, have a low social status in traditional culture: spinsters and bachelors, widows and widowers, divorced spouses; illegitimate children; children who have lost or never had parents (or one of the parents), i. e. orphans; childless spouses; a woman who had a baby out of marriage; women and men who poorly perform their functions in marriage (bad parents, bad spouses – for example, drinkers, adulterers); a husband who came to live in his wife’s house. The article analyzes denomination and motivation for denomination of spinsters and bachelors, i. e. people who have never been married or got married at an older age as compared to what is considered ‘normal’. For the designation of a girl who did not get married in due time, about 20 lexemes and 30 attributive combinations were noted in Arkhangelsk dialects. Accordingly, there were noted about 20 lexemes and one and a half dozen word combinations designating a bachelor. To denote a spinster, there are used the same lexemes as for denoting a girl of marriageable age: virgin, girl, maid, etc. Words that have a direct meaning in the age and gender category receive a different meaning after being transfered to the lexico-semantic group ‘Social status’. The same lexemes can be used in other meanings, for example, ‘a woman who had a baby out of marriage’. Word combinations or phraseological units may be a motivation for the formation of lexemes denoting a spinster. Noteworthy are parallel names: old / elderly maid ~ old/elderly guy; starukha, staritsa ~ starik, starets (derived from the root ‘star’, which conveys the idea of being old); perestarok – for both men and women; kholostyak (which is explicitly translated as ‘bachelor’) ~ kholostovka, kholostyachka (feminine gender versions of ‘kholostyak’); bobyl’ ~ bobylka. However, this parallelism can be purely superficial: where a single man is concerned, the designations under study mean, as a rule, a guy who is not married yet; but when it comes to a single woman, the designations refer to a girl who has already missed the right time to get married. The change in the emphasis is very significant. The study is based on the material from published volumes of the Arkhangelsk Regional Dictionary, its card catalog and the author’s field notes.

The image catalogs of the libraries of RAS Pushchino Science Center and RAS Library for Natural Sciences: Generation and use

The experience of building and use of the image catalogs at the Library of Pushchino Science Center of theRussianAcademyof Sciences and RAS Library for Natural Sciences is examined. The differences between the catalogs are identified: the former comprises the scanned systematic catalog, and the latter – the alphabet catalog of foreign books. Two different approaches toward retroconversion are analyzed. In Pushchino, the Library preferred hand input into the ecatalog to retroconversion on the basis of the completed systematic image catalog. The systematic image catalog is heavily used in the library services and available via the Library’s www-site. Instead, the RAS Library for Natural Sciences after having scanned and edited the alphabet catalog of foreign books, implemented the function of book search and ordering from the image catalog. The prospects and tasks for acquiring retro-entries to the e-catalogs are discussed. The Library of RAS Pushchino Science Center is to complete the retroconvesion of the alphabet card catalog and editing of the systematic image catalog. The RAS Library for Natural Sciences is to generate the image catalog of national book publications.

Peter Devereaux and Carla Diane Hayden. The Card Catalog: Books, Cards, and Literary Treasures.

In an early archives job, I typed the name and subject entries at the top of card sets we received from the Library of Congress. It was exacting work and I really enjoyed it, including the filing. At a venerable manuscript repository, the cards ranged from the printed ones I placed on top of the rods (to be double-checked before they slipped into their forever homes) and those written in a spidery handwriting that could easily have been 100 years old. It made me feel part of a long tradition of information mavens.

How to reorganize e-catalog search

The author reviews the cataloguing practice during the card catalog epoch when card catalogs made the system, and bibliographic search was accomplished all over the catalog system. He says that with computer-aided systems bibliographic search has gone down, while many functions of e-catalogs are not applied. It is proposed to re-organize search by limiting use of keywords in indexing. Instead it is more advisable to apply subject headings in the indices to classification tables (these are supplied with classification number). Search options can be expanded with using classification numbers and those format fields that are not in use today. The author also makes several minor remarks and suggests his solutions to improve the defects.
