Die originalschriftliche Erfassung ausländischer Literatur in nichtlateinischen Schriften durch den Einsatz von Unicode ist ein aktuelles Ziel vieler Bibliotheken. Trotzdem behalten auch transliterierte Formen und die dafür notwendigen Transliterationsstandards ihre Bedeutung, denn universell ausgerichtete Bibliotheken müssen sich darauf einstellen, ihren Benutzern beide Varianten anzubieten. Die Bibliothekare erhalten dabei Unterstützung durch ihre Bibliothekssysteme, die zumindest teilweise bereits Funktionen für eine automatische Transliteration nach originalschriftlicher Eingabe durch eine hinterlegte Umschrifttabelle bereit halten. In diesem Kontext arbeitet der Arbeitsausschuss "Transliteration und Transkription" an einer Modernisierung der vorhandenen Standards und deren Einbettung in internationale Usancen. Außerdem werden bei Bedarf neue Transliterationsstandards entwickelt. Bereits erfolgreich abgeschlossen wurde das Projekt zur Revision von DIN 31636 (Umschrift des hebräischen Alphabets). Der Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über sämtliche laufenden Projekte des Ausschusses (Griechisch, Kyrillisch, Armenisch, Georgisch, Japanisch) und berücksichtigt auch die entsprechenden Aktivitäten der International Organization for Standardization (ISO) auf internationaler Ebene.
In Frankfurt gibt es große und kleine Bibliotheken. Neben den bekannten Häusern, wie der der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek, der Universitätsbibliothek Johann Christian Senckenberg oder der Stadtbücherei bietet die Stadt aber auch viele kleine Institutionen mit speziellen Sammelschwerpunkten. Für Informationssuchende haben wir 35 Bibliotheken übersichtlich zusammengestellt. ...

The Frankfurt University Library possesses one of the outstanding Africana Collections in continental Europe; its regional anddisciplinary scope is unique in Germany. Today about 5,000 new acquisitions a year have accumulated over 200,000 items on Africa south of the Sahara. Some 50,000 historical and rare photographs are fully digitized and freely accessible. Together with a collection of around 18,000 books stemming from the collections of the German Colonial Society at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century they constitute the historical foundations of the collection. Recently the University Library Frankfurt and the library of the GIGA Institute of African Affairs, Hamburg, started the project ilissAfrica (internet library sub-Saharan Africa), a central subject gateway for online resources and a powerful tool for bibliographic research. These new services will be indispensable for researchers and librarians of African Studies and will promote African studies worldwide.
Universities of the 21st century heavily depend on an efficient IT infrastructure for teaching, research and administration. E-Learning environments, blended learning and all sorts of multimedia and cooperative environments are important requirements for teaching at universities and for further education. Many of the organizational structures such as continuous examinations, interdisciplinary studies, ECTS system and many more require efficient examination administration systems as well as room and personnel management. Research is based on Internet inquiries, eScience, eLibrary and other IT supported media. Research results must be documented and archived in a digital way and results must be distributed and marketed through the Internet. The efficient administration of all kinds of resources of the university must be planned using management support systems. Decisions of university heads must be prepared from well documented statistics and analysis software. In the past, many of the applications named above for teaching, research and administration have been performed by separate software applications and run in distributed environments of universities. Powerful server structures and networking features as well as new software technology like service-oriented architectures make it necessary to recentralize the IT services of the university after a long period of decentralization. Based on metadirectories and unified access procedures, all of the software components must be integrated into a seamless IT infrastructure. To guarantee consistency, data must not be stored in a redundant way. Project IntegraTUM of Technische Universität München started in 2003 and is an umbrella project to define such a seamless IT infrastructure for a university with 22.000 students and approximately 10.000 staff. The talk describes the project, which besides the definition of new technology is based on a fundamental process analysis of the university and many changes in the organizational structure.
Information supply is the genuine task of academic institutions as well as of publishers. Publishers profit from copyright provisions which give them exclusive rights in their products. The same copyright provisions are often the limiting factor when academic institutions try to improve their service to the academic community. This is the case in particular when it comes to digital access to information. In a so-called "Second Basket", the German copyright act has just been revised, introducing explicit legal exemptions for document deliveries and on the spot consultation of works contained in public libraries' collections. At the same time, unresolved issues remain with respect to existing legal exemptions as well as the new ones. What will the legal parameters look like for academic institutions once the "Second basket" has been put into force? How can libraries work with these provisions in practice?
Working closely with teaching and research staff is critical to the success of libraries and information services. Indeed, the degree of integration with a University's academic work is one of the factors that distinguish a successful service from a poor one. This paper will consider the relationship between information services and how universities operate. Using the challenges facing institutions as a starting point - including the move towards a single European higher education market - the impact of information provision on institutional strategies will be explored. Information resources underpin all learning, teaching and research activities and the presentation will consider the professional practice which ensures that libraries and computing services are fully exploited. The focus on the experience of students is leading some institutions to integrate information services with a wide range of other activities and the paper will consider the opportunities and challenges which this brings, including the need to build working relationships with a broader range of professional groups.
In the year 2000 the Deutsche Initiative für Netzwerkinformation (DINI) / German Coalition of Network Information was founded: 10 theses "Changes in information infrastructure – challenges to universities and their information and communications facilities" is the DINI’s founding charter (s. http://www.dini.de).
Thesis 4 states: "The universities need to establish information management structures to integrate departments. University managements, departments and central institutions ought to prepare a university development plan for the areas of information, communication and multimedia." ...
Das Programm der Nationallizenzen (http://www.nationallizenzen.de/) wurde 2004 von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) entwickelt. Ziel ist es, bundesweit geltende Lizenzvereinbarungen mit Fachgesellschaften, Verlagen und anderen Informationsanbietern abzuschließen und dadurch Wissenschaftlern, Studierenden und wissenschaftlich interessierten Privatpersonen in ganz Deutschland den kostenlosen Zugang zu Datenbanken, digitalen Textsammlungen und elektronischen Zeitschriften zu ermöglichen. Das aktuelle Interview mit Berndt Dugall informiert über das Konzept der Nationallizenzen, dessen Finanzierung, das organisatorische Umfeld sowie das Procedere von der Auswahl bis zur Lizenzierung einzelner elektronischer Ressourcen. Zuletzt werden auch die Bedeutung der Nationallizenzen für den Wissenschaftsstandort Deutschland sowie die Zukunft der Bibliotheken angesichts der rasanten technischen Entwicklungen auf dem Informationssektor angesprochen.
