Fondo de libros ilustrados no ficcionales de biblioteca escolar y aportaciones al Plan de lectura
The promotion of reading habits is essential for fostering critical readers and achieving school success. In this regard, non-fiction illustrated books represent an effective resource for encouraging reading due to their combined ludic and informative characteristics. Within this context, school libraries play a crucial role by facilitating access to these materials. This study analysed the non-fiction illustrated books held within a school library in the province of Cádiz, with the aim of identifying bibliographical aspects, and determine their thematic focus. An analysis sheet was used to record key data such as authors, publication year, publisher, Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results indicated that out of a total collection of 5,295 books, only 156 were non-fiction illustrated books. The main themes covered by these titles were Exact and Natural Sciences and Geography. In conclusion, despite their utility in promoting reading and acquiring knowledge, non-fiction illustrated books constitute a low percentage of the library's total collection holdings.

Classification of documents with the assignment of classifier codes is a traditional way of systematizing and searching for documents on a specific topic. The Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) underlies the systematization of knowledge presented in libraries, databases and other information repositories. In Russia, UDC is an obligatory attribute of all book production and information on natural and technical sciences. The choice of classification codes is associated with the analysis of the structure of the classifier tree and is traditionally decided by the author of a scientific article. This article proposes a solution for automating the assigning the UDC classification code for a mathematical article based on a special resource - the OntoMathPro ontology for professional mathematics, developed at Kazan Federal University. An approach to solving the problem is to create "code maps" for each classifying code in the UDC tree in the field of mathematics. Under the "code map" is meant a weighted set of all extracted, with the help of OntoMathPro ontology, mathematical named entities from the collection of articles with a given UDC code. The creation of "code maps" is based on the hypothesis that the choice of the UDC code is determined by a certain set of classifying features that can be represented by classes from the OntoMathPro ontology. The proposed hypothesis was tested and confirmed in the paper.

School libraries have a strong commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) four. The United Nations SDG four aims to ensure inclusive and equitable education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Librarians are in the right position to foster the attainment of the SDGs. Therefore, this study sought to investigate how school libraries in high schools attain SDG four at the Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School, Benkum Senior High School, and Kwabenya Senior High School. This study was guided by the Partnership Relationships Model. This study adopted a quantitative approach and survey research design to select 257 out of the total population of 2574 using a stratified sampling method. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The study found that most respondents had a basic level of knowledge of what constitutes SDG four. The Chi-square test showed that there is a relationship between school libraries and SDG four in Kwabenya Senior High School, unlike in Presbyterian and Benkum Senior High Schools. The findings can be explained by the fact that in Kwabenya, the school library plays a critical role by supporting teaching and learning in schools, but in Presbyterian and Benkum, school libraries only provide training for teachers and learners. The study concluded that it is important for school management to assist the school library through the provision of training and supporting teaching and learning to learners in attaining SDG four with available resources. The study recommended the following, awareness creation of SDG four through workshops, provision of training, and enhancement of collection to support the teaching and learning of learners.

Linked data (LD) technology is hailed as a long-awaited solution in web-based information exchange. Linked Open Data (LOD) bring this to another level by enabling meaningful linking of resources and creating a global, openly accessible knowledge graph. Our case is the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) and the challenges for a KOS service provider to maintain an LD service. UDC was created during the period 1896-1904 to support systematic organization and information retrieval of a bibliography. When discussing UDC as LD we make a distinction between two types of UDC data or two provenances: UDC source data, and UDC codes as they appear in metadata. To serve the purpose of supplying semantics one has to front-end UDC LD with a service that can parse and interpret complex UDC strings. While the use of UDC is free the publishing and distributing of UDC data is protected by a licence. Publishing of UDC both as LD and as LOD must be provided for within a complex service that would allow open access as well as access through a paywall barrier for different levels of licences. The practical task of publishing the UDC as LOD was informed by the “10Things guidelines.” The process includes conceptual parts and technological parts. The transition to a new technology is never a purely mechanical act but is a research endeavour in its own right. The UDC case has shown the importance of cross-domain, interdisciplinary collaboration which needs experts well situated in multiple knowledge domains.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a general overview with up‐to‐date information on the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) use worldwide.Design/methodology/approachThe research combined e‐mail interviews with LIS professionals in 208 countries, literature research and information obtained from UDC distributors/publishers (AENOR, BSI, UDC Consortium). The following categorisation of UDC use was offered: A – dominant system; B – used in some kind of libraries only; or C – rarely used.FindingsThe paper finds that, of the 208 countries contacted and researched through the literature in 2004‐2006, the UDC was found to be used in 124 (60 per cent) of these. In 34 (28 per cent) of the countries researched (in Europe, Asia and Africa), UDC is the main classification system used across national information networks. In 45 (36 per cent) of the countries it is used in certain kinds of libraries. In the remaining 45 (36 per cent) of the countries it is used rarely, in only a few libraries or information centres.Research limitations/implicationsIt was beyond the scope of this research to provide any information regarding the actual number of institutions using UDC in a given country or to give an estimate of the size and number of document collections organised by it. Although a decline in UDC use since the 1980s was reported from a number of countries, it was not possible to measure this accurately.Practical implicationsThe interest shown for using UDC in the organisation of digital collections, information exchange and cross domain and cross collection resource discovery depends on accurate knowledge of its actual usage worldwide. This gives a measure of its global importance and verifies its credentials as an indexing standard. This research, which attempted wider and more systematic coverage than previous surveys, should help clarify the status of UDC and its potential use in the networked environment.Originality/valueThe paper provides up‐to‐date information on the presence of the UDC system across countries and languages.

The first mention of the decimal system of classification in the Russian library literature occurred in 1895. Between 1895 and 1907, the system made little headway in Russia. In the few instances in which it was adopted during this period, the form was generally that of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) rather than that of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). In 1908, the decimal system began to receive greater attention in Russia, owing in part to the efforts of the bibliographer B. S. Bodnarskii, a UDC proponent. In 1911, a group of St. Petersburg librarians put forward their own scheme of decimal classification for small Russian libraries. In addition to the UDC and the domestic Russian variant, DDC also received some serious attention and appears to have been the most popular form in Russia following the Revolution of 1917. In early 1921, however, the Russian government issued a decree singling out the UDC as the system of classification to be used in all libraries in Russia.

This article deals with the latest extensions and corrections to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) (2014—2015) developed by the UDC Consortium, the owner of the international standard UDC version in English.
 It has been analyzed that the UDC tables have added a lot of new classes, many classes have been corrected and some classes have been cancelled.
 It is estimated that the total number of modified classes includes 2000 new entries, 3000 corrected entries and 700 cancelled entries.
 New classes are provided with their description, scope notes, application notes, examples of combination and references.
 The description of corrected classes has been extended / clarified, scope notes and application notes have been amended, new examples of combination and references have been presented.
 The content of cancelled classes has been replaced to other entries and some classes have been cancelled as spare or unnecessary ones.
 Through regular introduction of extensions and corrections to the UDC tables one can ensure their updating and improvement according to world changes, events and phenomena. They all are displayed in the UDC system respectively.
 Scientific editing of Ukrainian UDC version, introduction of acceptable, well-established and standard concepts and terminology harmonization provide an opportunity for system improvement with a view to meeting UDC users' information retrieval needs.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global objectives proposed by the United Nations to create a better and more sustainable future by 2030. Since the adoption of SDGs in 2015, several missions and programmes have been initiated across different countries towards achieving the relevant targets under SDGs. The advancements in science and technology research and development is believed to play a crucial role in achieving these targets. Motivated by the role of scientific outcomes in SDGs, various scholarly databases have started to map the indexed research publications to one or more of the SDGs. A host of approaches (employing keyword based, machine learning, manual curation etc.) have been used to link and map research publications under the SDGs. Some initial studies have shown that the mapping of publications in SDGs vary significantly across different databases. However, the classification accuracy, thematic focus, practical applicability, and impact of these classification approaches have not been studied well. Therefore, this work attempts to make a deeper exploration of the SDG mapping in three major scholarly databases- Web of Science, Scopus and OpenAlex and provide useful insights. For this purpose, a large-scale data sample of publications for the year 2023 obtained from these three databases are analysed on different aspects. Results suggest that not only the three databases vary significantly in terms of their individual SDG mapping, but there are also significant differences in the SDG-wise distribution and interlinkages across different SDGs. A divergence score to measure divergence of classification across the three databases is defined and computed. Finally, the probable reasons and factors that may be resulting in the variations in SDG mappings across the three databases are explored and discussed.

Multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) involving a diverse set of actors are assumed to reduce implementation gaps of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While existing research suggests that MSPs can complement state-led efforts in environmental and sustainability governance, a deeper understanding of the composition, thematic focus, and specific governance functions of MSPs for the SDGs is still wanting. In this article, we present the results of a survey of 192 MSPs registered on the United Nations Partnership Platform, analyzing their set-up and organization, partner composition, agency of partners, governance functions, SDG coverage, and effectiveness. We further complement existing research by investigating whether MSPs address SDG nexuses and relate our findings to previously identified interlinkages between the goals. Comparing our results to earlier studies, we find that MSPs have become more inclusive, involving more non-state actors overall, and as lead partners. Our results further indicate a complementary role of MSPs in SDG implementation by focusing on often underrepresented and cross-cutting goals such as climate action (SDG 13), quality education (SDG 4) and gender equality (SDG 5). However, there appears to be untapped potential for MSPs to capitalize on shared resources and capabilities to address combinations of SDGs that are likely to produce negative spillovers among each other. Moreover, we find partnerships between actors from multiple societal sectors to be potentially more effective than those involving only one societal sector.

The study deals with web-based library classification schemes. In the emerging digital paradigm, the library classification schemes sparked dynamically print into web in the beginning of 21st century. Web-based library classification schemes are completely different from traditional classification schemes. The study discusses three web-based schemes viz WebDewey 2.0, UDC (universal decimal classification) online and classification web. WebDewey 2.0 is a Web-based product of DDC 23rd ed., UDC online is of UDC and classification web of LCC(Library of Congress Classification). These are constantly updated, revised and up-to date web-based library classification schemes. This study is significant in that it provided a description of current trends of library classification schemes. Investigative method is used to identify web-based library classification schemes. The databases have been accessed through trial accounts of their official websites. This study mainly compares the aspects of WebDewey 2.0, UDC online, and classification web. It concludes that DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification) is the most updated library classification scheme in the world. Key words: Web-based library classification schemes, WebDewey 2.0, Universal Decimal Classification online, classification web.

A review of:
 
 Todd, Ross J. “Student Learning Through Ohio School Libraries: A Summary of the Ohio Research Study.” Ohio Educational Library Media Association 15 Dec. 2003. Ohio Educational Library Media Association (OELMA), 2004. 15 Nov. 2006
 http://www.oelma.org/StudentLearning/documents/OELMAResearchStudy8page.pdf.
 
 Objective – This study explored links between school libraries and student learning outcomes that were defined in a multidimensional context, using data provided by the students themselves. The researchers examined learning outcomes that reached beyond the existing correlations of school library services and standardized test scores. Insight was provided into the interactions between students and school libraries that affect student learning. An overarching goal of the study was to establish ongoing dialogue to focus on evidence based practices that may lead to continuous improvement in school library services and to provide the basis for further research.
 
 Design – Web based survey.
 
 Subjects – Participants were 13,123 students in grades 3-12 and 879 faculty at 39 schools across the state.
 
 Setting – Ohio Public school libraries. 
 
 Methods – Thirty-nine effective school libraries, staffed by credentialed school librarians, were chosen through a judgment sampling process, using criteria based on Ohio Guidelines for Effective School Library Media Programs. The guidelines are aligned to academic content standards, assessments, resources, and professional development.
 
 Two web based surveys were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from students and faculty: 
 
 The Impacts on Learning Survey, composed of Likert scale responses to 48 statements and an open-ended critical incident question for students.
 The Perceptions of Learning Impacts Survey was a similar survey for faculty.
 
 Survey questions were based on Dervin’s theory of information seeking that advances the idea of ‘helps’ as the constructive process of bridging gaps in information use that lead to new knowledge or making sense (sense-making) in relation to a perceived information need (Todd and Kuhlthau). The term ‘helps’ includes both inputs (help that the school library provides in engaging students in learning) and outputs (learning outcomes of academic achievement and active agency in the learning process). 
 
 The survey statements included a combination of conclusions based on selections from school library research studies, and the Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning from the American Association of School Librarians’ Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning.
 
 The two surveys were used to triangulate multiple sources of data to illustrate the “helps” provided by the school library to student learning. Students were also given the opportunity to describe “helps” in their own words in an open-ended critical incident question.
 
 Main results – The data showed that the selected effective school libraries were perceived as providing ‘helps’ in dynamic ways that appeared to have a transformative effect on student learning. School libraries and librarians were viewed as having an active role in the learning process. Of the students surveyed, 99.4 % believed that school libraries helped them become better learners. The results were grouped into seven blocks of ‘help’ concepts that frame the contributions of the school library and the school librarian to student learning (Table 1). 
 
 The study noted that perceptions of the effect of school libraries are strongest for elementary students, and perceptions of the effect decrease as students move through middle and high school. Comments from students indicate that mastery of information skills that lead to independent learning may contribute to the perception that the library is not as strong a ‘help’ in later school years. 
 
 In ranking the mean scores of the block concepts, the effective school library ranked strongest as a resource agent and technical agent, to support student research and projects with both print and non-print resources. The qualitative data further clarified student perceptions that the library contributed to individualized learning, knowledge construction, and academic achievement. Instructional interventions that benefited from contributions by the librarian included conducting research effectively; identifying key ideas; analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information; and developing personal conclusions. 
 
 In comparing student and faculty data, there was consistency in the perception of value in the top three conceptual groups of “helps”: libraries as resource agents, as agents for information literacy development, and as agents for knowledge construction. 
 
 Conclusion – The data analysis illustrated that school libraries were actively involved in student learning and were perceived as important factors in student learning and achievement by both students and faculty. Consistency throughout the sample showed perceptions of multiple effects of school 
 libraries in facilitating student learning for building knowledge. 
 
 Student comments and survey results showed that students perceived the library as providing strong support for reading for curriculum and informational needs and as less helpful with regard to individual reading for pleasure or personal pursuits. The study speculates that perhaps the emphasis on academics and test-oriented schooling may leave students little time to pursue independent reading interests during school hours.
 
 The study identified factors for effective school libraries: informational, transformational, and formational elements. These factors may be used as building blocks for shaping practices that help effective school libraries bring about student achievement. 
 
 Informational: Resources, technological infrastructure, and reading resources.
 Transformational: Information literacy, technological literacy, and reading engagement.
 Formational: Knowledge creation, use, production, dissemination, values, and reading literacy. 
 
 The visual model of the factors for effective practice and their relationship to student outcomes will be of particular help to practitioners. (Todd and Kuhlthau 23)

Classification systems are published primarily in the book form, for various purposes and in different versions. They are identified by the number or year of publication. The authors propose another variant of maintaining classification systems, i.e. in the card format.The authors discuss the issues of presenting classification schedules of popular classification systems on the Internet with special focus on their applications. They explain why privately owned classification systems, like Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), are not published on the Internet, while the systems supported by government organizations (e.g. national libraries) are traditionally published openly. The authors provide the example of the Library of Congress Classification (LCC), which is the United States’ National Classification System and which is published on open access. The project of the open presentation of the Library-Bibliographical Classification (LBC) in several versions supplemented with indices on the website of the Russian State Library (RSL) is described in more detail. The possibilities for their use are analyzed.
