Astrophysics, Astronomy and Space Sciences in the History of the Max Planck Society
This book provides the first comprehensive historical account of the evolution of scientific traditions in astronomy, astrophysics, and the space sciences within the Max Planck Society. Structured with in-depth archival research, interviews with protagonists, unpublished photographs, and an extensive bibliography, it follows a unique history: from the post-war relaunch of physical sciences in West Germany, to the spectacular developments and successes of cosmic sciences in the second half of the 20th century, up to the emergence of multi-messenger astronomy. It reveals how the Society acquired national and international acclaim in becoming one of the world’s most productive research organizations in these fields.
Open Access and the Library
Libraries are places of learning and knowledge creation. Over the last two decades, digital technology—and the changes that came with it—have accelerated this transformation to a point where evolution starts to become a revolution. The wider Open Science movement, and Open Access in particular, is one of these changes and is already having a profound impact. Under the subscription model, the role of libraries was to buy or license content on behalf of their users and then act as gatekeepers to regulate access on behalf of rights holders. In a world where all research is open, the role of the library is shifting from licensing and disseminating to facilitating and supporting the publishin...
Serving Library Users from Asia
Asian populations are among some of the fastest growing cultural groups in the US. While books on serving other target groups in libraries have been published (e.g., disabled, Latino, seniors, etc.), few books on serving library users of Asian heritage have been written. Thus the timely need for this book. Rather than a generalized overview of Asians as a whole, this book has 24 separate chapters—each on 24 specific Asian countries/cultures of East, Southeast, and South Asia—with a wealth of resources for understanding, interacting with, outreaching to, and serving library users of each culture. Resources include cultural guides (both print and online), language helps (with sample librar...
Handbook Bibliometrics
Bibliometrics and altmetrics are increasingly becoming the focus of interest in the context of research evaluation. The Handbook Bibliometrics provides a comprehensive introduction to quantifying scientific output in addition to a historical derivation, individual indicators, institutions, application perspectives and data bases. Furthermore, application scenarios, training and qualification on bibliometrics and their implications are considered.
Akademisches Lesen
Lesen ist die Grundlage akademischer Wissenserzeugung und wird an den Hochschulen vorwiegend durch wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken organisiert. Das akademische Lesen zeichnet sich dabei durch spezifische Leistungen und Anforderungen aus, die über die verfügbaren Lesemöglichkeiten, -praktiken und -medien adressiert werden. Obwohl sich die erlernten Lesefähigkeiten, die routinierten Lesepraktiken und etablierten Lesemedien mit der Digitalisierung nachhaltig verändert haben, sind die damit verbundenen Konsequenzen für Studierende, Lehrende und Forschende kaum erforscht. Der Band fragt deshalb in interdisziplinärer Perspektive danach, was wir eigentlich über wissenschaftliche Lesekompetenzen, Lesepraktiken und Bibliotheken im Kontext digitaler Entwicklungen in den letzten Jahren wissen.
