Recent technology news continues to affirm the growth and diversity of mobile devices, particularly smartphones that allow for web and app-based access to information and research tools. Indeed, the memory, processing power, and data speed once limited to a standard personal computer is now commonplace within phones. The “phone part” of the typical mobile device can be among the least used features. Today it is not uncommon for library researchers to approach the service desk with a phone displaying a catalog record, a citation from the ATLA Religion Database, or, indeed, even a digital photograph of the object of inquiry. With some limitations, researchers can interact with librarians, search across various library catalogs and databases, access free and library-licensed content, and manage their research process through their mobile devices. Theological libraries of all sizes can deliver a variety of library services and content to a user’s mobile devices

“I gave forty-one years of my monastic career to library work, the bulk of which was devoted to doing a cataloging job which begged to be done. The career began one month after completing the novitiate in July 1923 when Abbot Alcuin Deutsch, like myself, out for a morning stroll after breakfast, called me: ‘Father Oliver, come here. I want you to work in the library.’ And thereon hangs the tale.”1 I n 1964, when Father Oliver Kapsner, OSB, arrived in Italy to pursue the dream of a renewed Benedictine mission to preserve culture through the copying of manuscripts (with microfilm, not pen), he was already approaching an age when most librarians consider retirement. Born Leonard Kapsner in 1902 at Buckman, Minnesota, he came to Saint John’s Abbey and University in 1916 to attend Saint John’s Prep School and later the University. In 1922, he entered the novitiate and a year later professed religious vows as a Benedictine monk. Over the next ten years he studied philosophy, theology, and library science at various institutions, including Saint Vincent College, the University of Notre Dame, Catholic University of America, the University of Chicago, and the Benedictine Pontifical College (Rome). In this decade he also was ordained a priest (1928).
“我在修道生涯中花了41年时间从事图书馆工作，其中大部分时间都花在了编目工作上，这是一项迫切需要完成的工作。1923年7月，实习结束一个月后，我的事业就开始了。当时，阿尔昆·多伊奇修道院院长和我一样，早餐后出去散步，他叫我:“奥利弗神父，过来。”我想让你在图书馆工作。上面挂着故事。1964年，当OSB的奥利弗·卡普斯纳神父(Father Oliver Kapsner)来到意大利，追求通过抄写手稿(用缩微胶卷，而不是钢笔)来保存文化的新本笃会使命的梦想时，他已经到了大多数图书管理员考虑退休的年龄。1902年，他出生在明尼苏达州的巴克曼，原名伦纳德·卡普斯纳。1916年，他来到圣约翰修道院和大学，先后就读圣约翰预科学校和大学。1922年，他进入见习院，一年后，他宣誓成为本笃会修士。在接下来的十年里，他在不同的机构学习哲学、神学和图书馆学，包括圣文森特学院、圣母大学、美国天主教大学、芝加哥大学和本笃宗座学院(罗马)。在这十年里，他也被任命为牧师(1928年)。

This essay offers a brief account of the library of the Universidad Biblica Latinoamericana (U.B.L.) in San Jose, Costa Rica. It has been shaped by a variety of theological outlooks during its nearly seventy-five years of existence. It begins in the “Old Country,” where evangelistic revivals provided much of the impetus for missionary approaches then being taken in Latin America. Another theological wave, as conservative as the European, arose from the United States. In the Sixties, social and political changes in the Latin American region brought about changes in the way theology was produced and practiced, giving birth to a new form, later on embraced by the institution, with significant effects on its library. The U.B.L. library is evolving in the midst of theological changes, leaving behind its “home-grown” character, shifting to a more professional model as it prepares for new challenges. EvangElical Roots in EuRopE I n the twentieth century, following his conversion at the age of eighteen in 1853, the Irish Protestant preacher Henry Grattan Guinness (1835-1910)1 appeared on the European religious scene. The Ulster Revival of 1859 brought nearly 100,000 converts into the Protestant church. Guinness’s eloquent open-air preaching attracted great crowds. His evangelistic zeal enabled him to train and send a great number of “faith missionaries” to different places around the world. Guinness wrote numerous books with eye-catching titles: The Approaching End of the Age (1878), Light for the Last Days (1887), Romanism and the Reformation (1887), The Divine Program of World History (1888), City of Seven Hills (1891), and History Unveiling Prophecy (1906).2 He succeeded in establishing a wellmanaged missionary enterprise, whose activities occupied him almost to the end of his life. In 1873 Henry and his wife founded the East London Missionary Training Institute, also called Harley College. A successful venture, it still continues to this day, training Christians for missions and evangelism. His deep concern for Christianizing the world led Dr. Guinness to found several missionary organizations: Livingstone Inland Mission (1877), Congo-Balolo Mission (1888), Regions Beyond Missionary Union (1898). Guinness would likely have had almost no role in the development of Christianity in Costa Rica had it not been for a Scottish lad who was tremendously influenced by his preaching, and the way that the great Irish preacher conducted his campaigns. Harry Strachan (1872-1945), son of Scottish parents, was born in Fergus, Ontario, Canada.3 In 1874 Susan Beamish, whom Strachan later married, was born near Dunmanway in Cork County, Ireland. When Harry was seven years old, his family returned to Scotland. The Beamish family attended the Anglican Church, but Susan later joined a small Methodist Church in Cork County. At the age of 21 Harry Strachan joined the Bethesda Free Church in Sunderland Street, where he came for the first time under the influence of H. G. Gui

This essay considers how cost-benefit analysis may be used in a small to mid-sized library to identify cost-savings in the acquisitions of monographs. The essay highlights parallel studies conducted at Luther Seminary Library and Bethel University Library which compared prices, discounts, and time costs across a range of vendor types to identify whether searching for the best price per item is cost-effective, and how much this strategy could save yearly in acquisitions. Both libraries found that substantial potential savings were identified through this study.
