Technical Services vs. Public Service

Regarding this issue, it seems appropriate to quote Gorman who says: And it came to pass that when Kutta, assistant God made the first library, she noted that it was good. So he called together all librarians and divided as a shepherd divides the sheep and goats. The first group spoke to him saying: you will dwell in the clarity and serve the readers and their glory will be great. Then he turned to the second group and spoke to him saying: you will dwell in the darkness. Secret must be hidden effort and work. You do not know the reader nor shall you know them. Go away and sort ... and has been up to these days (1979, p. 435).

The encouragement of the open access movement: an essential realm for health information professionals in the 21st century

According to the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Policy for libraries and the recommendations of the BOAI10, libraries and librarians have an important role to fulfil in the encouragement of open access. Taking into account the Competencies for Information Professionals of the 21st Century, elaborated by the Special Libraries Association, and the Librarians’ Competencies Profile for Scholarly Publishing and Open Access, we shall identify the competencies and new areas of knowledge and expertise that have been involved in the process of the development and upkeep of our institutional repository (Repositorio SSPA).

L'ús d'Internet en les tasques dels serveis tècnics

Els desenvolupaments tecnològics de les darreres dècades han tingut una influència directa en l'organització dels servéis tècnics de les biblioteques i en la forma com es realitzen les tasques anomenades técniques. Un dels darrers exemples d'aquest impacte es l'aprofitament de la xarxa Internet per al treball técnic. A l'article es fa una presentació selectiva dels recursos que hi ha a Internet destinats al personal dels serveis tècnics en general i al d'adquisicions i catalogació en concret. Així mateix, també es fa un repàs sumari de com s'aprofiten aquests recursos Internet en els servéis tècnics de les biblioteques universitàries catalanes. En una segona part s'analitzaran recursos Internet adequats al processament de materials concrets ¿publicacions seriades, recursos electronics, col·lecions especials, etc.

Web services to link interlibrary software with OCLC WorldShare

Purpose - This article describes the use of web services to interconnect the GTBib interlibrary loan program with the OCLC WorldShare platform. Design/methodology/approach - We describe the current problem of duplication of procedures in libraries that have added their collections to the OCLC WorldCat catalogue in recent years and are therefore more likely to receive interlibrary loan requests through the WorldShare Platform. Findings - A solution that uses web services to insert and retrieve requests between the two systems is presented. Autonomous agents periodically check the status of the requests and keep them updated and synchronized. These agents also inform the library staff of any variation or inconsistency that is detected. Practical Implications - This technology reduces process management time by making it unnecessary to introduce the request data in both systems. Agents are used to check the consistency of statuses between the two systems, thus avoiding errors and omissions and improving the efficiency of the whole interlibrary loan process. Originality/value - This paper describes in detail the technical aspects of the solution as a reference for the development of future applications.
