Mit der Digitalisierung von Büchern scheint sich ein europäischer Traum zu erfüllen, ein Traum der unkomplizierten Vernetzung des Wissens und ein Traum der Vollständigkeit des Zugriffs. Im Schlaraffenland der durchgescannten Bücherwelt kann ich auf alle gewünschten Texte mit einem Schlage zugreifen; damit habe ich auch jeden sachlich benachbarten Text- oder ein Archivdokument oder ein Museumsstück - in eben derselben Qualität, aus welchem Jahrhundert auch immer. Alle interessierten Forscher können, sobald diese Vision technisch umgesetzt sein wird, im Internet ohne Rücksicht auf lokale Bibliotheksbestände und deren Zugänglichkeitsbedingungen arbeiten. Viele werden es tun, weil sie schon lange einen unkomplizierten Zugriff erhoffen. Forscherträume werden mit der Digitalisierung wahr.

(4)In order to reduce the controversy, Google should consult with the authors and publishers actively to obtain authorization (5)The copyright owners should be willing to try a new business model.

This thesis addresses the complexity of digitalization and humanities research practices, with a specific focus on digital archives and film history research. I propose the term “Frankenstein Complex” to highlight and contextualize the epistemological collision and empirical challenges humanities scholars encounter when utilizing digital resources with digital methods. A particular aim of this thesis is to scrutinize digital archiving practices when using the Media History Digital Library (MHDL) as a case for a themed meta-inquiry on the preservation of and access to classic horror cinema in this particular digital venue. The project found conventional research methods, such as the close reading of classical cinema history, to be limiting. Instead, the project tried out a distant reading technique throughout the meta-inquiry to better interrogate with the massive volume of data generated by MHDL. Besides a general reassessment of debates in the digital humanities and themes relating to horror film culture, this thesis strives for a reflection on classic horror spectatorship through the lens of sexual identity, inspired by Sara Ahmed’s perspective on queer phenomenology. This original reading of horror history is facilitated by an empirical study of the digital corpus at hand, which in turn gives insights into the entangled relation between subjective identities and the appointed research contexts.

China ist ein Land, das sich im Umbruch befindet und daher große Veränderungen in seiner politischen, sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Struktur bewältigen muss. Unwissenheit und der Mangel an Zugang zu Informationen sind in manchen Regionen sehr ausgeprägt. Den sich stürmisch entwickelnden Städten wie Shanghai steht eine arme analphabetische Landbevölkerung gegenüber. Das bedeutet, dass der Wert der Bibliotheken und Informationen in einem großen Teil der Bevölkerung nicht verankert ist und außerdem die ethnischen Minderheiten auch in ihrem kulturellen Erbe nicht genügend berücksichtigt wurden. Daher ist es wichtig, dass sich die Erkenntnis durchsetzt, dass Informationsversorgung und ökonomisches Umfeld voneinander abhängen. Um die Entwicklung der Bildung, Ausbildung, des Wissens und der Wissenschaft durch leistungsfähigen Bibliotheken und Informationsversorgung zu ermöglichen, wird ein Bibliotheksgesetz benötigt. Dieses Gesetz sollte auch die fachliche Ausbildung der Informationsberufe regeln, da eine gute fachliche Ausbildung Voraussetzung für den Stellenwert der Informationen und deren Nutzung ist. Es sollte mit dem Ausland zusammenarbeiten, weil sich hier eine Kooperation ergeben kann, die insbesondere für die Zukunft der Digitalen Bibliothek wichtig ist. Daher könnte hier eine gute Kooperation der erste Schritt für eine zukünftige Zusammenarbeit sein, wie sie die Vernetzung und die weltweite Öffnung der Informationsressourcen erfordern. / This paper is divided into five chapters with a preface and an introduction giving a brief historic review of the Chinese libraries. Emphasis is placed on the development and present situation of Chinese Librarianship and Information Science. Chapter 1 describes the development of the Internet in China by comparing it with Germany, and explains how it became the basis for China''s current digital library. Chapter 2 discusses the digitizing of the Chinese rare books, as well as digital projects in P.R. China, Taiwan and Hongkong. Later the juristic and technological problems of digitizing as well as other related topics are discussed. Chapter 3 examines public libraries, focusing on the campaign against illiteracy and special services for disadvantaged social groups. Chapter 4 looks in to how globalization and international cooperation has become increasingly important to Chinese libraries and librarianship in the international arena. Chapter 5 is devoted to the three most important factors: library law, information sharing and education for the further development of Chinese librarianship. The conclusion outlines a possible model for the future of Chinese libraries in the 21st century. Traditional libraries like public libraries and digital libraries should develop at the same time. This means that China has two tasks: building libraries up and modernizing them so that not only the scientists and researchers have access to the inevitable Information, but also the general population should have access to "Lesestoff," where people from both the city and countryside would be allowed the same number of books. This development model for a developing country like China, with a digital network environment, can only be realized with an effective library law and international cooperation.

Neste contexto, a Educação a Distância (EaD) surge como meio adequado para propiciar nova forma de ensino e aprendizagem, na qual os agentes envolvidos no processo podem estar separados no tempo e no espaço. Esta modalidade de educação carece de uma biblioteca híbrida, na qual os agentes envolvidos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem tenham acesso à informação para subsidiar o desenvolvimento das atividades acadêmicas. A pesquisa tem como objetivo geral a n a l i s a r de que forma as bibliotecas dos polos de apoio presencial de EaD da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), na Bahia, atendem os discentes e disponibilizam materiais informacionais para os cursos na modalidade EaD. O percurso metodológico resultou em uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória e descritiva; a abordagem adotada teve por base a teoria da complexidade, a partir das ideias do filósofo Edgar Morin, que serviu de lastro para o entendimento dos fenômenos relacionados à modalidade de EaD. O procedimento adotado foi o de estudos de casos múltiplos. As técnicas adotadas foram a observação direta extensiva e questionário eletrônico. A análise dos dados advém dos questionários respondidos pelos coordenadores do polo de apoio presencial. Entre os aspectos problemáticos observados estão a falta de bibliotecário no quadro profissional dos polos, as bibliografias básica e complementar em sua maioria no formato impresso, não inclusão de recursos tecnológicos de redes sociais no ambiente da biblioteca, falta de cooperação das bibliotecas das universidades mantenedoras dos cursos no polo. Entre os aspectos positivos, destacamos a presença de todas as instituições públicas de ensino superior de origem baiana oferecendo cursos na modalidade EaD, além das instituições de ensino superior oriundas de outros estados e Distrito Federal: todos os polos demonstraram que possuem biblioteca na infraestrutura. Diante das evidencias apontadas no resultado da pesquisa tornou-se possível concluir que a biblioteca de apoio presencial da EaD disponibiliza produtos e serviços focados nas necessidades dos discentes presenciais. / ABSTRACT The development of new practices of production and services based on the use of information and knowledge characterizes contemporary society. In this context, the Distance Education (DE) emerges as an appropriate means to provide new ways of teaching and learning. The agents involved in the process can actually be separated in time and space. This kind of education lacks a hybrid library, the agents involved in teaching and learning processes have access to information in order to support academic activities. The research has as its main objective to analyze how the presential libraries (from the support poles of DE at Universidade Aberta do Brasil – UAB), in Bahia, serve the students and provide informational materials for DE courses. Methodologically, this is an exploratory, descriptive research; the adopted approach was based on the theory of complexity, from the philosopher Edgar Morin, which served as basis for understanding the phenomena related to DE issue. The adopted procedures are those which characterize multiple case studies. The adopted techniques were extensive direct observation and electronic questionnaire. The data analysis was done from the answered questionnaires by presential support coordinators. Among some problematic aspects are: the absence of a librarian in the poles staff; the basic and supplementary bibliographies mostly in print format; non-inclusion of social networks technological resources in the library; lack of cooperation among the university sponsor libraries.. Among positive aspects, we highlight the presence of all higher education public institutions from Bahia offering DE courses, in addition to other higher education institutions from different Union States and the Union District Capital: the poles, all of them, have a library in its infrastructure. Facing the research results and its evidences it is possible to conclude that DE presential support libraries have products and services focused on presential student needs.

Le catalogue occupe une place privilégiée dans l’offre de service des bibliothèques universitaires, pivot de l’intermédiation. Depuis 10 ans, il traverse une crise grave, voyant les usagers le délaisser à la faveur des moteurs de recherche généralistes. Le web, plus qu’un sérieux concurrent, devance aujourd’hui les systèmes d’information documentaires, et devient le point d’entrée principal pour la recherche d’information. Les bibliothèques tentent de structurer un espace documentaire qui soit habité par les usagers, au sein duquel se développe l’offre de service, mais celle-ci se présente encore comme une série de silos inertes, sans grande possibilité de navigation, malgré de considérables efforts d’ingénierie et des pistes d’évolution vers les outils de découverte. La profession, consciente de cette crise profonde, après avoir accusé les remous occasionnés par la dimension disruptive du numérique, cherche des moyens pour adapter et diversifier son offre, fluidifier la diffusion de l’information, et se réinvente un rôle d’intermédiation en cherchant à tirer profit des nouvelles pratiques des usagers, de leurs nouvelles attentes, et de nouvelles perspectives. Les bibliothèques placent leur espoir dans de nouveaux modèles de données, tentent d’y ajouter un niveau d’abstraction favorisant les liaisons avec l’univers de la connaissance. L’évolution vers le web sémantique semble une opportunité à saisir pour valoriser les collections et les rendre exploitables dans un autre contexte, au prix d’importants efforts que cette analyse tente de mesurer. Une approche constructiviste fondée sur l’observation participante et le recueil de données offre une vision issue de l’intérieur de la communauté des bibliothèques sur l’évolution des catalogues et des outils d’intermédiation, et ouvre des perspectives sur leurs enjeux. / The catalog takes up a special position in the supply of services of academic libraries, as a pivot for the intermediary between users and information professionals who carry the responsibility for building up collections. For 10 years, through a serious crisis, they’ve been seeing their patrons preferring the general or commercial search engines. The Web is more than a serious competitor today, ahead of the document information systems, and became the main access point for information retrieval. Libraries are trying to structure an information space that is temporarily or permanently inhabited by users, in which the service offering is developed, but it is still presented as a series of silos, with few opportunities of navigation between them despite considerable engineering efforts and a perspective of evolution towards discovery tools. The profession, having become aware of this deep crisis after accusing eddies caused by the breakdown of the digital switch, looking for ways to adapt and diversify its offering, streamlines the dissemination of information, and reinvents its roles, trying to take advantage of new practices of users, new expectations and new prospects. Libraries put their hope in new data models, trying to add a level of abstraction promoting links with the world of knowledge. The evolution towards the Semantic Web seems to be a valuable opportunity to enhance the collections and make them usable in another context, at the expense of significant efforts sized up by this analysis. A constructivist approach based on participant observation and data collection offers a vision of the outcome within the library community on the development of catalogs and intermediation tools, and an outlook on their issues.
