ABSTRACT The librarian’s axiom which states that when the economy is failing, use of the public library increases, has existed since the late 19th century. Educator and library administrator Steven James is credited with naming this phenomenon as he attempted to extrapolate the relationship between library usage and economic conditions. James’ 1985 research found no correlation between library use and economic using data from the sixties to the mid-seventies. However, the American Library Association’s Library Research Center several years later found that material circulation had increased significantly in the late nineties, a time of noted economic strife, leaving the question of the impact of economic trends on library use unresolved. Numerous articles dealing with library usage, economic downturns, library funding, and patron needs seek to understand past trends while anticipating, and even predicting, trends of the modern public library. This axiom bears out anecdotally; yet it is technically unproven statistically. The defined period of the Great Recession provides an opportunity to address this belief by using existing public library usage statistics. For this article, statistics used will be two years before, during, and two years after the Great Recession (2006–2011). Taking the annual data from public libraries which is reported to the state library agencies and then compiled nationally by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Public Library Service (PLS), Library Journal created the LJ Index of Public Library Service and Star library rating system. The LJ Index scores consist of the following four per capita service output statistics: library visits, circulation, program attendance, and public internet use. Specifically, library visits and circulation statistics are utilized to determine if, during this time of documented economic strife, library usage increased as per the librarian’s axiom.
图书馆员的公理,即当经济衰退时,公共图书馆的使用就会增加,自19世纪末以来就一直存在。教育家兼图书馆管理员史蒂文·詹姆斯(Steven James)在试图推断图书馆使用与经济条件之间的关系时,对这一现象进行了命名。詹姆斯1985年的研究发现,从60年代到70年代中期,图书馆使用和经济使用数据之间没有相关性。然而,几年后,美国图书馆协会的图书馆研究中心发现,在90年代末,材料流通量显著增加,这是一个著名的经济冲突时期,经济趋势对图书馆使用的影响问题仍未解决。许多关于图书馆使用、经济衰退、图书馆资金和赞助人需求的文章试图了解过去的趋势,同时预测甚至预测现代公共图书馆的趋势。这一公理在轶事中得到了证实;然而,从统计数据来看,这在技术上是未经证实的。大衰退的特定时期提供了一个机会,通过使用现有的公共图书馆使用统计数据来解决这一问题。在这篇文章中,使用的统计数据将是大衰退前两年、期间和两年后(2006-2011)。《图书馆杂志》利用公共图书馆的年度数据,向国家图书馆机构报告,然后由博物馆和图书馆服务研究所(IMLS)公共图书馆服务(PLS)在全国范围内汇编,创建了公共图书馆服务LJ指数和星级图书馆评级系统。LJ指数由以下四项人均服务产出统计数据组成:图书馆访问量、发行量、节目出勤率和公共互联网使用。具体而言,利用图书馆访问量和发行量统计数据来确定在这段有记录的经济冲突时期,图书馆的使用量是否按照图书馆员的公理增加。

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines the gender parity of public library directors. While there has been considerable research on the role of women library leaders in academic libraries through the 1990s, little is known about the gender parity of public library directors. The membership of the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) serves as the sample size for this study. Gender parity of public library directors reached its zenith in 1999 with 65% of public library directors being women. A little over twenty years later, that number declined to 57.82%, a reduction of about seven percent. This study demonstrates the gender parity of public library directors has not been met.
摘要:这项探索性研究考察了公共图书馆馆长的性别平等。尽管在20世纪90年代,人们对女性图书馆领导在学术图书馆中的作用进行了大量研究,但对公共图书馆馆长的性别平等知之甚少。城市图书馆理事会(ULC)的成员资格是本研究的样本量。公共图书馆馆长的性别平等在1999年达到顶峰,65%的公共图书馆馆长是女性。20多年后,这一数字下降到57.82%,下降了约7%。这项研究表明,公共图书馆馆长的性别平等尚未得到满足。

ABSTRACT Starting school marks an important milestone for young children. Preparing children for this transition is known to many as school readiness, an oftentimes debated concept due to its meaning, which varies depending on the context and how one interprets school readiness. What is certain is that school readiness is a familiar and established term, echoed by parents, educators, scholars, policymakers and, most recently, children’s librarians. Through services and programs, such as the highly anticipated storytime, public libraries strive to support early learning experiences to foster children’s school readiness. As a result, children’s librarians play a vital role in supporting early child development as well as promoting school readiness goals, yet little is known about their understanding and conceptions of this construct. To begin to bridge this gap in scholarship, this qualitative study investigates children’s librarians’ conceptualizations of school readiness. Specifically, this study focuses on librarians’ open responses to a school readiness question embedded at the onset of an online learning module designed to support librarians’ professional development. Early literacy skills were identified as the sine qua non of school readiness, followed by social emotional skills, general skills-concepts-knowledge, approaches to learning, and mathematics. These findings demonstrate that children’s librarians have a rigorous understanding of what children should know and be able to do across multiple domains in order to be ready for school.
摘要:对于幼儿来说,开学是一个重要的里程碑。为孩子们做好这一转变的准备被许多人称为入学准备,这是一个经常被争论的概念,因为它的含义不同,取决于背景和如何解释入学准备。可以肯定的是,入学准备是一个熟悉而成熟的术语,得到了家长、教育工作者、学者、政策制定者以及最近的儿童图书馆员的认同。通过备受期待的故事时间等服务和项目,公共图书馆努力支持早期学习体验,以培养儿童的入学准备能力。因此,儿童图书馆员在支持儿童早期发展和促进入学准备目标方面发挥着至关重要的作用,但人们对他们对这一结构的理解和概念知之甚少。为了弥补这一学术差距,这项定性研究调查了儿童图书馆员对入学准备的概念。具体而言,本研究侧重于图书馆员对嵌入在线学习模块开始时的入学准备问题的开放回答,该模块旨在支持图书馆员的专业发展。早期识字技能被认为是入学准备的必要条件,其次是社会情感技能、一般技能概念知识、学习方法和数学。这些发现表明,儿童图书馆员对儿童在多个领域应该知道和能够做什么有着严格的理解,以便为上学做好准备。

ABSTRACT The public library professionals’ views of the value of public library roles are examined. Differences and similarities are analyzed to provide knowledge on current perceptions and to enhance our knowledge of public library value concepts. Based on the findings from reviews of literature exploring value, the participants were asked to categorize the value of public libraries. The study applies the initial step of consensus studies. Amongst the similarities and differences identified, findings show what the individual perceptions of value amongst public library professionals potentially mean to the development of public library services, and thereby also to the delivery of value.

ABSTRACT This study uses the bibliometric method to analyze green libraries on a global scale. Additionally, it discusses the trends of article publication, research fields, authors, spatial and temporal distribution, and so on. The results of the study show that information technology applications and green practices in libraries are at the core of the study, and in terms of issued articles and cooperation in research, the United States and China rank among the top countries worldwide. According to the findings, cooperation among countries is poor. The article forms a multidisciplinary research posture with Library and Information Science as the core component. Furthermore, a keyword analysis revealed that research on the green library has shifted from pure environmental impact assessment to a multi-directional combination.
摘要本研究采用文献计量学方法对全球范围内的绿色图书馆进行分析。研究结果表明,信息技术在图书馆的应用和绿色实践是本研究的核心,在发表文章和研究合作方面,美国和中国位居世界前列。根据调查结果,各国之间的合作很差。本文形成了以图书情报学为核心的多学科研究态势。此外,关键词分析表明,对绿色图书馆的研究已经从单纯的环境影响评价转向了多方向的结合。

ABSTRACT Semi-structured interviews with 13 public library branch managers explored their perceptions of the growing trend to situate social workers in public libraries in order to improve the provision of social services information. Both branch managers who had social workers in their libraries, and those who did not, volunteered to be interviewed. Overall, perceptions of the trend were positive, but there are still issues to be resolved about the role of the social worker in the library, how social workers and librarians can best collaborate, and what appropriate supervision and assessment of library social workers require.
对13位公共图书馆分馆经理进行了半结构化访谈,探讨了他们对社会工作者在公共图书馆工作以改善社会服务信息提供的日益增长趋势的看法。有社工在图书馆工作的和没有社工在图书馆工作的支行经理都自愿接受采访。总体而言,对这一趋势的看法是积极的,但社会工作者在图书馆中的角色,社会工作者和图书馆员如何最好地合作,以及图书馆社会工作者需要什么样的监督和评估等问题仍有待解决。

Measuring What Matters: Comparing Costs and Performance of Municipal Libraries and Library Districts 衡量什么是重要的:比较城市图书馆和图书馆区的成本和绩效

ABSTRACT This study examines public municipal libraries and public library districts at the local government level in the U.S. and specifically Illinois, the state with the most units of local government and public library districts in the country. This study contributes to the study of public libraries by providing a comparison between district and municipal libraries. Based on a national survey of public libraries and interviews with public library staff, we found that, on average, special district libraries received more financial input, provided more programs and services, and generated higher service output than their municipal counterparts. However, the differences between these two types of libraries may vary by states. Using Illinois as an example, district libraries may receive less revenue than municipal libraries.

摘要:本研究考察了美国地方政府层面的公共市政图书馆和公共图书馆区,特别是伊利诺伊州,这是美国地方政府和公共图书馆区最多的州。本研究通过对市立图书馆与区立图书馆的比较,有助于公共图书馆的研究。根据对全国公共图书馆的调查和对公共图书馆工作人员的访谈,我们发现,平均而言,特区图书馆比市级图书馆获得更多的财政投入,提供更多的项目和服务,并产生更高的服务产出。然而,这两种类型的库之间的差异可能因州而异。以伊利诺斯州为例,地区图书馆的收入可能比市立图书馆少。伊利诺伊州的地区图书馆提供的服务和项目也比市立图书馆少,服务产出也比市立图书馆少。

ABSTRACT The goal of this research was to examine U.S.-based librarians’ history of training on public health topics and their comfort delivering adolescent-focused public health interventions. A total of 269 library staff from 37 states completed a brief online survey. Eighty-four percent of respondents stated that their library had hosted public health programs for youth ages 10–17. Eighty-five percent reported they would be interested or very interested in facilitating an intervention focused on youth (ages 10–17). Ninety-eight percent of participants reported receiving training on at least one public health topic. The most common trainings reported were related to infectious diseases, including COVID (82.9%) and adolescent health and development (78.4%). Most participants were comfortable discussing public health topics, such as sexual and reproductive health (83.6%), adolescent health and development (82.5%), substance use (81.4%), and infectious diseases (81%). Having learned about the topic on their own and having had experience related to the topic were the most common reasons stated for feeling comfortable discussing public health topics with youth. These findings suggest that librarians are interested in and comfortable enough to serve as resources for health promotion among adolescents when adequately trained.
本研究的目的是调查美国图书馆员在公共卫生主题方面的培训历史,以及他们在提供以青少年为重点的公共卫生干预措施方面的舒适度。来自37个州的269名图书馆工作人员完成了一项简短的在线调查。84%的受访者表示,他们的图书馆为10-17岁的青少年举办了公共卫生项目。85%的人表示,他们对促进针对青少年(10-17岁)的干预感兴趣或非常感兴趣。98%的参与者报告说,他们接受了至少一个公共卫生主题的培训。报告中最常见的培训与传染病相关,包括COVID(82.9%)和青少年健康与发展(78.4%)。大多数参与者乐于讨论公共卫生主题,如性健康和生殖健康(83.6%)、青少年健康和发展(82.5%)、物质使用(81.4%)和传染病(81%)。与年轻人讨论公共卫生话题感到自在的最常见原因是,他们自己了解了这个话题,并有过与这个话题相关的经验。这些发现表明,图书馆员有兴趣并愿意在接受适当培训的情况下,作为促进青少年健康的资源。
