Poster presentation from the Living the Future 6 Conference, April 5-8, 2006, University of Arizona Libraries, Tucson, AZ. / First, we brought you "Where’s the Book? We Found It!" A look at the problem of why customers can’t find library owned materials. Now we bring you the sequel, what solutions we implemented to solve these problems and what effects these solutions have had.

Usage statistics for electronic resources are needed, and highly desirable, for many reasons. It is encouraging to see the beginnings of quality, reliable usage data. This data can form the basis of economic decisions (selection and cancellation) that make a great deal of sense in the context of the individual library. However, the cumulative effects of such decisions could have serious implications for scholarly communications. For example, the journals of small research communities could easily be vulnerable to mass cancellations, and might fold. Fortunately, open access provides an alternative. The question of whether the impact of local decisions on scholarly communications as a whole should be taken into account in collection development policies is raised. The possibility that usage statistics could form the basis for a usage-based pricing system is discussed, and found to be highly inadvisable, as usage-based pricing tends to discourage usage.

The contaminated book as a cultural asset is presented from three perspectives: philosophy, microbiology and cultural studies including medieval studies. The prejudice of the microbe as the enemy of the collection is questioned. Instead, the microbe is brought to the fore and made contextually visible as a book-biographical sign: traces on the book, including microbial ones, can bear witness to fire, flood, evacuation, and historical epidemics. For this witnessing, different readings of 'world' and of 'dead/living' must be considered, working toward a theory of things. It is based on studies of objects in medieval anthologies in the holdings of the Leipzig University Library, which have also been studied using microbiological and molecular biological methods at the DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures in Braunschweig. For the determination of the book biographies, both collections form mutual references. A new readability of the 'world as a book' is shown, which is made readable through its DNA, but also through its cultivation needs. With the idea of the book as habitat, a new view of the relationship between cultural property and microbe is opened - against destructive contamination towards the microbe as innovation potential for collections.

The aim of this thesis is to introduce the The National Archival Collection of the Czech Republic (CR NKF). The library collection is absolutely unique in its main objective that is to collect all Czech and foreign bohemical printed and non-printed documents, including journals since 1901. This thesis aims to introduce this collection both in a historical and current context, especially via library line or through ongoing projects in cooperation with the CR NKF. In the end, the work exaplains long-term protection and preservation of modern library collections in foreign countries and compares it with the situation in the NKF in the Czech Republic.

The assumptions of this research focus in the field of history of pedagogical ideas and historical theory - Critical (Saviani, 2007) adding to these discussions contributions of Certeau (2008). The results point to the conclusion that the design of the New School created and propagated by Lourenço Filho in prefaces written by him - which were published in works Collection Education Library - although fragmented and heterogeneous, was designed with a homogenizer character. By advocating a reform speech, Lourenço Filho created an imaginary in which he articulated by this movement was a departure from what until then had been perpetrated in the educational field. Thus, this new school of design was intended, through the works Collection Education Library, mold/direct the mentality of the teachers of the time. / Esta tese busca desvelar e analisar qual concepção de Escola Nova Lourenço Filho trouxe à tona através dos prefácios que foram publicados em obras da Coleção Biblioteca de Educação. Os pressupostos desta pesquisa centram-se no campo da história das ideias pedagógicas e da teoria histórico – crítica (Saviani, 2007) agregando a essas discussões as contribuições de Certeau (2008). Os resultados apontam para a conclusão de que a concepção de Escola Nova criada e propagada por Lourenço Filho nos Prefácios escritos por ele - que foram publicados em obras da Coleção Biblioteca de Educação - apesar de fragmentada e heterogênea, foi desenhada com um caráter homogeneizador. Através da defesa de um discurso reformador, Lourenço Filho criou um imaginário no qual esse movimento por ele articulado era uma ruptura com o que até então vinha sendo perpetrado no campo educacional. Assim, essa concepção de escola nova tinha como propósito, através das obras da Coleção Biblioteca de Educação, moldar/ direcionar a mentalidade dos professores da época.

Die Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig gehört zu den großen Altbestandsbibliotheken in Deutschland. Sie besitzt eine Vielzahl an bedeutenden Sonderbeständen, die den Rang eines nationalen Kulturerbes einnehmen. <i>Das Buch in Antike, Mittelalter und Neuzeit</i> gibt einen Einblick in die Arbeit mit diesen Sonderbeständen. Von Beiträgen zu Dokumenten aus antiker Zeit, Papyri und Ostraka über Aufsätze zu mittelalterlichen Handschriften bis hin zur neuzeitlichen Handschriftenüberlieferung (Buchhandschriften, aber auch Nachlässe, Autographensammlungen und Stammbücher) werden Erschließungsfragen diskutiert, für die in den letzten Jahren durch die Einbindung EDV-technischer Verfahren neue Lösungsvorschläge erarbeitet wurden. Aufsätze über druckgraphische Sammlungen, Gelehrtenbibliotheken und Schulschriftensammlungen tragen dem zentralen Bestandteil einer jeden Bibliothek, dem gedruckten Buch, und der Geschichte des europäischen Buchdrucks Rechnung. Zudem wird der Erschließung von Sammlungen nichteuropäischer Handschriften, von Texten in den Sprachen Arabisch, Persisch und Türkisch sowie in indischen Sprachen nachgegangen, die die Leipziger Bibliothek vor besondere Herausforderungen stellen. Die Konzentration auf die Dokumentation des Bucherbes hat es nicht verhindert, dass an der Universitätsbibliothek auch andere Medientypen gesammelt wurden. Dazu gehört an erster Stelle die größte universitäre Sammlung in Deutschland von 85.000 Münzen und Medaillen, die nun erstmals vorgestellt wird.
