Contemporary developments in the book publishing industry are changing the system as we know it.

Websites offering socially networked, collaborative and shared reading are increasingly important. Social Reading maps socially networked reading within the larger framework of a changing conception of books and reading. This book is structured into chapters covering topics in: social reading and a new conception ...

Información y referencia en entornos digitales: desarrollo de servicios bibliotecarios de consulta
Los servicios bibliotecarios de consulta son tratados en esta obra desde todas sus vertientes: colecciones, procesos, personal y tecnologías. Esta monografía es un completo manual sobre información y referencia en bibliotecas, que sirve tanto de estado de la cuestión como de guía para poner en marcha servicios de consulta en centros de información. Las tipologías de fuentes de información, los procedimientos para recibir preguntas y ofrecer respuestas o las posibilidades de las tecnologías para suministrar información desde las bibliotecas son aspectos que se desarrollan de forma precisa y estructurada. Puede afirmarse que este manual cubre un vacío en el panorama profesional nacional y que se constituye en una de las principales obras de la bibliografía internacional sobre esta materia, ya que, partiendo de la tradición biblioteconómica, la enmarca en el contexto de la referencia digital y ofrece todos los datos necesarios sobre el pasado, el presente y el futuro de los servicios de referencia que se prestan en las bibliotecas.
Calidad en sitios web
Calidad, evaluación, análisis, sitios web? ¿Qué tienen en común todas estas palabras clave para que merezcan la atención del público de esta colección? El punto que lo une todo es la necesidad de un amplio y a la vez muy diverso colectivo profesional de saber qué es lo que hace que un sitio web responda a criterios de calidad. Pongamos el ejemplo de un profesional de la web que recibe el encargo de auditar los sitios web de una empresa de comercio electrónico: quiere estar segura de que está a la altura de sus competidores internacionales; o el de un equipo de investigadores académicos que se pregunta cómo están incorporando las webs de turismo las más recientes posibilidades de interacción debidas a la web 2.0. Lo que tienen en común escenarios y objetivos tan diversos es que, en todos ellos, sus protagonistas necesitarán disponer de alguna herramienta que los ayude a determinar qué necesitan saber en relación con una web determinada o un conjunto de sitios web. Este libro intenta aportar esos instrumentos.

The Predatory Paradox
In today’s ‘publish or perish’ academic setting, the institutional prizing of quantity over quality has given rise to and perpetuated the dilemma of predatory publishing. Upon a close examination, however, the definition of ‘predatory’ itself becomes slippery, evading neat boxes or lists which might seek to easily define and guard against it. This volume serves to foreground a nuanced representation of this multifaceted issue. In such a rapidly evolving landscape, this book becomes a field guide to its historical, political, and economic aspects, presenting thoughtful interviews, legal analysis and original research. Case studies from both European-American and non-European-America...
Mediation and Children's Reading
This collection of essays explores the cultural significance of children’s reading by analyzing a series of Anglo-American case studies from the eighteenth century to the present. Marked by historical continuity and technological change, children’s reading proves to be a phenomenon with broad influence, one that shapes both the development of individual readers and wider social values. The essays in this volume capture such complexity by invoking the conception of “mediation” to approach children’s reading as a site of interaction among individual people, material texts, and institutional networks. Featuring a range of scholarly perspectives from the disciplines of literature, education, graphic design, and library and information science, this collection uncovers both the intricacies and wider stakes of children’s reading. The books, public programs, and archives that focus explicitly on children’s interests and needs are powerful arenas that give expression to the key ideological investments of a culture.
New Approaches to the Twenty-First-Century Anglophone Novel
This book discusses the complex ways in which the novel offers a vibrant arena for critically engaging with our contemporary world and scrutinises the genre's political, ethical, and aesthetic value. Far-reaching cultural, political, and technological changes during the past two decades have created new contexts for the novel, which have yet to be accounted for in literary studies. Addressing the need for fresh transdisciplinary approaches that explore these developments, the book focuses on the multifaceted responses of the novel to key global challenges, including migration and cosmopolitanism, posthumanism and ecosickness, human and animal rights, affect and biopolitics, human cognition and anxieties of inattention, and the transculturality of terror. By doing so, it testifies to the ongoing cultural relevance of the genre. Lastly, it examines a range of 21st-century Anglophone novels to encourage new critical discourses in literary studies.
