Die gegenwärtigen medientechnischen Entwicklungen, der schrankenlose weltweite Daten- und Kommunikationsfluss, für den das Internet steht, fordern traditionelle Informationsversorgungseinrichtungen heraus und verlangen nach neuen Denkweisen und Strategien. Als viel versprechendes Konzept gelten seit Ende der 1990er Jahre so genannte Virtuelle Fachbibliotheken (ViFa), die in der Regel von einem Konsortium aus Sondersammelgebiets- Bibliotheken, Fachgesellschaften und anderen einschlägig spezialisierten Institutionen deutschlandweit realisiert werden. Über einen zentralen WWW-Einstiegspunkt versammeln sie ausgewählte konventionelle und elektronische Medien zu einem Fachgebiet, bereiten diese systematisch auf und bieten diese einer ausgewiesenen Scientific Community über differenzierte Zugriffsmöglichkeiten an. Der Beitrag zeichnet die Entwicklung des ViFa-Konzepts kursorisch nach und stellt - in Auswahl - problematische Aspekte vor, die sich im Laufe der Realisierung ergaben und die noch immer aktuell sind.
The mission of the Harvard Judaica Collection is to comprehensively document Jewish history and civilization in all places and periods. To accomplish its mission, the Judaica Collection collects materials in all languages and in all formats—books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, sound recordings, and videos, posters, broadsides, and photographs. A particular focus is the Library’s Documenting Israel program, which covers all aspects of Israeli life and culture in great depth; Harvard has the largest collection of Israeli publications and Israel-related materials outside the State of Israel. The Harvard Judaica Collection also attempts to have comprehensive coverage of the publications of Jewish communities throughout the globe, including a significant collection of publications from countries across Europe. Collecting these materials requires cooperation with a wide array of institutions and individuals around the world.
The LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) Alliance is an international community of about 100 libraries and partners like OCLC. For almost a decade the LOCKSS open source model has been tested for its robustness against attack and for its ability to migrate formats. LOCKSS »boxes« at 150 institutions in more than 20 countries comprise a peer-to-peer system that automatically cross-checks content to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all member archives. Eighty publishers, including large publishers like Oxford University Press, are now participating in LOCKSS or actively preparing to add their journals to the program.
U. S. library resources on South Asia that were built around the limited needs of a handful of Sanskritics before World War II have made a long journey during the past half century. Since the inception of the Library of Congress Cooperative South Asia Acquisition Program (formerly called "PL-480" program), in 1962, libraries have built significant collections with financial support from governmental agencies and philanthropic foundations, to support teaching and research in all areas of social sciences and humanities. These collections have been supplemented by efforts to build retrospective collections and to microfilm rare materials in British and South Asian libraries and archives. Today, in cooperation with South Asian libraries, several projects are underway to preserve and digitize rapidly deteriorating materials so that these riches can be shared with the global scholarly community through electronic means.
To stimulate further discussion, I would like to briefly tackle the following questions: * How can one become informed about what is going on in German Studies in the US? * What kinds of American guides to German resources are available? * What kinds of German Studies resources are being produced in the US? * What do we know about how scholars are using (or not) these guides and resources?
