This essential resource, which has its origins in the International Conference on Authority Control (Italy, 2003), addresses standards, exchange formats, and metadata—with sections on authority control for names, works, and subjects. Twenty fascinating case examples show how authority control is practiced at institutions in various nations around...

During the past 50 years, theological libraries have confronted secularisation and religious pluralism, along with revolutionary technological developments that brought not only significant challenges but also unexpected opportunities to adopt new instruments for the transfer of knowledge through the automation and computerisation of libraries. This book shows how European theological libraries tackled these challenges; how they survived by redefining their task, by participating in the renewal of scholarly librarianship, and by networking internationally. Since 1972, BETH, the Association of European Theological Libraries, has stimulated this process by enabling contacts among a growing number of national library associations all over Europe.

The papers are organized in topical sections on digital library architecture; multimedia content analysis; models and applications.
With the contributions of international experts, the book aims to explore the new boundaries of universal bibliographic control. Bibliographic control is radically changing because the bibliographic universe is radically changing: resources, agents, technologies, standards and practices. Among the main topics addressed: library cooperation networks; legal deposit; national bibliographies; new tools and standards (IFLA LRM, RDA, BIBFRAME); authority control and new alliances (Wikidata, Wikibase, Identifiers); new ways of indexing resources (artificial intelligence); institutional repositories; new book supply chain; “discoverability” in the IIIF digital ecosystem; role of thesauri and ontologies in the digital ecosystem; bibliographic control and search engines.
Nell’attività del bibliotecario la dimensione tecnica, essenziale per lavorare con competenza, non può prescindere o separarsi dall’impegno, dall’attenzione ai diritti civili e al modo in cui questi vengono vissuti e praticati nell’ambito della comunità di appartenenza. Garantire l’accesso alle informazioni non può essere limitato alla ‘nostra’ biblioteca, ma dev’essere una responsabilità che riguarda il territorio dove viviamo e dove operiamo, guardando ai nostri colleghi che possono trovarsi in situazioni più difficili della nostra e soprattutto alle persone che si trovano in difficoltà nell’esercitare i propri diritti. L’auspicio è che la trasmissione della con...
Questo volume raccoglie una serie di saggi dedicati a diversi aspetti della cultura della sostenibilità e agli obiettivi dello sviluppo sostenibile in quanto materia di straordinario interesse – attuale e in ottica futura – anche per la riflessione e la ricerca biblioteconomica, la funzione e i programmi delle biblioteche, gli altri mondi con i quali esse sono in relazione. L'intento è fornire un contributo collettivo di idee e di proposte al ricco dibattito nazionale e internazionale che si sta sviluppando su questi temi e sulle molte esperienze avviate dalle biblioteche (soluzioni gestionali, nuovi servizi e nuove pratiche di servizio, cimenti educativi ecc.), senza sfuggire ai quesiti e ai cambiamenti imposti dalla pandemia di Covid-19. È possibile costruire un paradigma della biblioteca sostenibile?
