Text in English / Legislation plays an important role in the provision of public and national library services. However, in Zambia libraries that perform the functions of public and national libraries are operating without a legislative mandate. As a result, there is a fragmentation of library services as there is no single institution which performs all the functions of a national library service. Although several efforts were made before to enact national library service legislation, no Act of Parliament has been passed to date (2014). This study sought to provide empirical evidence to refine our insight of the benefits of having national library service legislation and the consequent implications of not having any legislation in the provision of library services. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaire administration to public library staff; interviews with senior government officials, and executive members of the ZLA and ZALICO; and document analysis on text from grey literature. The existence of the statistical significance of association between “Importance of library legislation” and “Provision of library services in Zambia” was measured and confirmed using Pearson chi-square χ2. Public library facilities, services and collections in Zambia were found to be below par, and it was concluded that this was due to lack of library legislation. The study recommends that appropriate legislation that puts together the functions of public and national libraries under one institution be enacted in Zambia as soon as possible. It is also recommended that further research be undertaken to investigate the current status of library facilities, services and collections in selected neighbouring countries where library legislation has been passed. / Information Science / M.A. (Information Science)

Im Dezember 2010 zieht das Deutsche Musikarchiv (DMA) von Berlin an den Standort der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek Leipzig. Mit dem DMA wird sich in Leipzig die zentrale nationale Sammlung von Musikalien und Tonträgern und das musikbibliografische Informationszentrum Deutschlands ansiedeln.

Am Anfang stand der Wunsch nach mehr Platz. Dieser musste mit dem jüngsten Leipziger Erweiterungsbau geschaffen werden, um den wachsenden Medienbestand der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek – inzwischen rund 26 Millionen Objekte – fachgerecht zu lagern und für die Nutzung bereitzuhalten.

Reunidos a partir de meados da década de 1980 pelo escritório de representação da Biblioteca do Congresso norte-americano no Rio de Janeiro – inaugurado em 1966 –, os materiais na BPG estão divididos por períodos e organizados sob diferentes categorias. Mais de trinta bibliotecas dos Estados Unidos, além de instituições de memória e pesquisa da Europa e do Brasil – entre elas a Biblioteca Nacional – possuem microfilmes desta coleção. Interessada em investigar as condições socio-históricas que permitem a constituição de coleções que ganham dimensão pública e os lugares que ocupam tais artefatos, a pesquisa analisa a BPG a partir de sua relação com contextos politicos norte-americanos e brasileiros, atentando para distintas temporalidades e subjetividades que marcaram a sua produção, bem como para sua circulação. O objetivo é dar visibilidade à historicidade da coleção, à construção narrativa de seu colecionador e a alguns dos significados e lugares que lhe foram atribuídos ao longo de sua existência. / Brazil’s Popular Groups: a Collection of Materials Issued by socio-political, Religious, Labor and a Minority Grass-roots Organizations (BPG) is a microfilmed collection that brings together a wide variety of printed documents related to Brazilian popular groups, published since the 1960s until the present time. Gathered for the first time in the mid-1980s by the representative office of the Library of Congress in Rio de Janeiro – inaugurated in 1966 – BPG materials are divided by periods and organized under different categories. More than thirty libraries in the United States, as well as memory and research institutions in Europe and Brazil – including the National Library – have microfilms of this collection. Interested in investigating the socio-historical conditions that allow the constitution of collections that gain public dimension and the places that occupy such artifacts, the research analyzes the BPG from its relation with North American and Brazilian political contexts, paying attention to different temporalities and subjectivities that marked its production, as well as its circulation. The aim is to highlight the historicity of the collection, the dynamics of the process of narrative construction of its collector, and some of the meanings and places that have been attributed to it throughout its existence.

Ao longo do trabalho procuramos contextualizar a França desse período enfocando aspectos religiosos e culturais importantes; caracterizar as danças de maior notoriedade presentes na corte francesa de Francisco I a Luís XIV, detalhando os passos dessas danças e a forma como eram executados; examinar tratados de dança franceses ressaltando a influência italiana na dança de corte da referida época e analisar pinturas e imagens de tratados de dança e suas intencionalidades na corte francesa do período estudado. O avanço tecnológico da Internet viabilizou uma pesquisa histórica sobre a dança de corte francesa do reinado de Francisco I a Luís XIV, cujas fontes de interesse não se encontram disponíveis no Brasil. Com o acesso ao site da Biblioteca Nacional da França (Gallica), foram encontrados manuscritos, memórias, livros, tratados de dança e imagens produzidos no período em questão que serviram de fontes primárias para o estudo. Organizamos este trabalho em três capítulos, sendo o primeiro voltado ao estudo da França em aspectos gerais relativos ao período de Francisco I a Luís XIV abordando a ameaça protestante, a influência italiana na corte francesa, bem como o seu desenvolvimento e a importância do vestuário e dos adereços para o cortesão dessa nova corte. No segundo capítulo, analisamos a influência italiana e de seus maîtres de danse na corte francesa, abordando, na sequência, as danças, os ballets e os maîtres de danse da corte francesa além da Académie Royale de Danse. Nosso último capítulo é dedicado à importante descoberta da perspectiva, o poder representado através das imagens de dança e a representação de dança dos bailes da corte e dos tratados dos maîtres de danse. / This study aimed to investigate the importance of dance and its various roles represented at the French court of Francis I’s to Louis XIV’s reign. During the work we tried to contextualize the France of that time focusing on religious and cultural important aspects; characterizing the dances of greater notoriety present in the French court of Francis I to Louis XIV, detailing the steps of these dances and how they were executed; examining treaties French dance highlighting the Italian influence in the court dance of that time and analyzing paintings and images of dance treatise and their intentions at the French court of the period studied. The technological progress of the Internet enabled a historical research about the French court dance of Francis I to Louis XIV’s reign, whose sources of interest are not available in Brazil. Accessing to the website of the National Library of France (Gallica), were found manuscripts, memoirs, books, dance treatises and images produced in the period that served as the primary sources for the study. We organize this work in three chapters, the first focused on the study of France in general aspects during the period of Francis I to Louis XIV approaching the Protestant threat, the Italian influence at the French court, as well as their development and the importance of clothing and adornments to the courtier of the new court. In the second chapter, we analyze the Italian influence and his maîtres de danse at the French court, approaching, in sequence, dances, ballets and maîtres danse in the French court beyond the Académie Royale de Danse. Our last chapter is dedicated to the important discovery of perspective, the power represented through dance images and dance representation of court balls and maîtres de danse treatises.

The aim of this study is to explore the issues surrounding the implementation, monitoring and management of legal deposit in South Africa. Legal deposit is a statutory obligation which requires that a producer of any type of publication which is available to the public, be it a commercial, public or private organisation or an individual, deposit one or more copies of the publication with a recognised national institution. The Legal Deposit Act of 1997 governs the deposit of publications in South Africa. Section 8 of the Legal Deposit Act makes provision for the constitution of a Legal Deposit Committee to oversee the implementation of the Act. This Committee, which consists of a broad spectrum of role players, expressed a need for an investigation into the many issues and questions relating to the provision of publications subject to legal deposit as required by the Legal Deposit Act. Although the Legal Deposit Act, at the time of its promulgation in 1998, was one of the first in the world to make provision for the deposit of electronic publications, this study focuses mainly on the legal deposit of books as this was identified by the Committee as an area of immediate and critical concern. The study begins with a comprehensive literature study to obtain sufficient theoretical information on legal deposit and of the problems and issues surrounding the subject internationally and in South Africa. - An overview of elements and issues covered in legal deposit legislation provides the background against which the investigation into the state of legal deposit and its implementation is undertaken. With the aim of contextualising South African legislative issues, a comparative study of legislation in the United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia and South Africa is also undertaken. -A discussion of the stages and activities involved in legal deposit, the need for monitoring and enforcement procedures and the external and internal factors that influence the way in which legal deposit is implemented in a country, provides an overall understanding of the legal deposit process -The implementation of legal deposit also depends on the committed participation of various role players. The individual roles and needs of these stakeholders in the legal deposit process are identified. The empirical investigation was conducted in two stages. The first phase of the study involved a survey to explore the attitudes, opinions and actions of publishers and legal deposit libraries, as the two main role players, to determine how these factors affect the successful implementation of legal deposit in South Africa. This forms the bulk of the study. The second phase of the study consisted of a feasibility study to determine the state of compliance with legal deposit in the country The outcomes of the empirical study were used to identify gaps and weaknesses in the current legal deposit system. This formed the basis to make recommendations for the improvement of procedures, methods and services. Areas critical to the successful implementation of a legal deposit system are highlighted. The study concludes with a view to the future. The importance of implementing a sustainable system of legal deposit on which the development of an effective system for the legal deposit of electronic publications can be built, is stressed. / Thesis (DPhil(Information Science))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Information Science / DPhil / unrestricted

This diploma thesis is focused on the automatization of digitization workflow in the National Library of Technology, Prague, Czech Republic. This thesis examines possibilities of digitization processes automatization by means of scripts written in Perl programming language and Apache Ant build tool. The advantages and disadvantages of both solutions are analyzed as well as their suitability for automatization of digitization workflow. Based on the comparison of both solutions, the scripts in Perl programming language are selected as the most suitable solution for automatization of digitization workflow. The question whether Ant build tool could be used for the purpose of automatization of digitization workflow is also answered in this thesis. The Ant build tool could be used for the above-mentioned purpose. However, once the activities in the given process divert from the general scope of tasks provided by the Ant build tool, the complexity of the whole solution increases rapidly. This complexity is given by the necessity to use predefined tasks -- sets of functions which have to be combined to create a functional automatization script. Even though Ant is an extendable tool, it is necessary to understand the Java programming language in order to create a new Ant task successfully. On the other hand, the Perl programming language allows easier customization of the script for the purposes of automatization of digitization workflow. Also, the modularity of the Perl programming language makes it easier to create those scripts and modify, correct or develop them even further.
