The second edition of Library Management 101: A Practical Guide is a holistic view of management practices in libraries. It is a valuable textbook and a useful guide for any stage of a person’s career. It is also a great resource for those places of employment where training and support in human resources is limited. Early on, the authors note that the text is framed in Western culture for their intended audience and constituency and that they believe that “all of us are managing something all the time,” whether it is formally called “management” or not (p. xi). These basic notions set the tone for the book and assist the reader’s understanding of the material shared.

Jody DeRidder begins her book stating that “websites and digital news stories disappear daily; researchers can’t access their own data for reuse; students don’t know how to make their work last for the next ten years” (p. ix). This disturbing statement is all too real for many archival professionals and sets the tone for why this book is important. Digital Curation Fundamentals is relatively short at 153 pages, but is packed with content. DeRidder builds this text on 14 years of experience developing and supporting a digital library as well as additional resources, including BitCurator, Digital POWRR, and Stanford Libraries’ ePADD Project. DeRidder clearly states in the preface that this book is for the average librarian or archivist, and I would wholeheartedly agree with this statement. The author includes “fundamentals” in the title, but more appropriately should have included the term “foundational” as well. Seasoned digital curators may not find much they do not already know or that may have been covered in other, denser texts, but the size of this book should not deter any professional looking for a quick guide.
乔迪•德瑞德在书的开头写道:“网站和数字新闻故事每天都在消失;研究人员无法访问自己的数据进行重用;学生们不知道如何让他们的工作在未来十年中持续下去”(第ix页)。对于许多档案专业人士来说,这种令人不安的说法太真实了,也为本书的重要性奠定了基调。《数字管理基础》相对较短,只有153页,但内容丰富。DeRidder在14年开发和支持数字图书馆以及其他资源(包括BitCurator, digital power r和斯坦福图书馆的ePADD项目)的经验基础上构建了本文。DeRidder在前言中明确指出,这本书是为普通图书管理员或档案管理员准备的,我完全同意这一说法。作者在标题中包含了“fundamentals”,但更恰当的是应该包含“foundational”这个词。经验丰富的数字策展人可能不会发现他们不知道的东西,或者可能已经在其他更密集的文本中涵盖了,但这本书的大小不应该阻止任何专业人士寻找快速指南。

This article examines the role of the reference archivist in the development of online tools through usability studies. Combining examples from the University of Illinois Archives with insights from literature on the impact of technology on reference, it explores the value added by reference archivists in developing new access tools through their experience and diverse knowledge of archival theory, collections, access systems, and user interactions. It also considers the role of the reference archivist in standardized implementation of access tools in university archives to encourage successful discovery and usage of historical materials and to promote collections beyond the reading room.

This article discusses opportunities for archivists to learn pedagogy skills and the current state of education and instruction programs in special collections libraries and archives. It finds a lack of broad access to pedagogical training in archival graduate programs and continuing education. An alternative approach at the University of Kentucky Special Collections Research Center is presented, including the strategy and impact of soliciting and acting on qualitative student feedback. University of Kentucky’s archival assessment program provides a model for analyzing, summarizing, and acting on qualitative undergraduate student feedback to improve the pedagogy of archivists tasked with instruction.
