Embedding Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion into the Academic Library – Have Students’ Requests for Diverse Content Been Met?

Following efforts to diversify and decolonize University curricula, Oxford Brookes University student union reported that Black and BIPOC students wanted more diverse content. In response, the Library set up a group to embed Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion practices into collection development, teaching, and administrative and research support practices. Initiatives entailed book purchases of authors from historically marginalized backgrounds, curation of diversity reading lists, updating subject headings to reflect modern terminology, and promotion of Read & Publish agreements. Currently, we have been unsuccessful in determining if the requests of students for diverse content have been met. Further research would seek to explore this area.

Enhancing the Value of Library through Facilities Management Understanding

Leading libraries been impacted by a number of significant technological developments and trends, as well as by the difficulties presented by outside forces like the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia has received less money from the government since 2016. Fund allocation for libraries has also decreased concurrently. The reduction on government’s funding allocation has made it difficult for the libraries in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia particularly to manage its operations and facilities, placing restrictions on book purchases and reducing its online database. In managing every facility in the libraries such Perpustakaan Sultanah Zanariah (PSZ), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Perpustakaan Raja Zarith Sofea (PRZS), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, the facility manager must use the available financial resources wisely. The goal of this study is to identify libraries facilities management expenses that the library’s management team can reduce. Content analysis and thematic analysis applied in this study in analysing the data gathered from interviews with 5 library staff. According to the findings of this study, both libraries provide a variety of facilities, including a lobby, room, discussion room, showroom, seminar room, meeting room, foyer, 24-hour study room, information search laboratory, database reference room, exhibition space, and audio visual room. Both libraries management expenses, which include library system maintenance, book repair, reference book purchases, database subscriptions, and expenses for purchasing and repairing computers and printers, have been identified and can be reduced accordingly by the management team. Overall, both libraries have to adapt to changing technological, social, and economic conditions while remaining committed to their mission of providing access to information, promoting lifelong learning, and fostering a sense of community.

『靖海氛記』영역본의 특징과 학술적 가치

This paper analyzes the characteristics and academic value of History of the Pirates who Infested the China Sea from 1807 to 1810 translated by German Orientalist Karl Friedrich Neumann. The original author of this book is JingHaiFunJi, published in Guangzhou, China in 1830. The book recorded the rise and fall of pirates in Guangdong who were active in the South China Sea. Karl Friedrich Neumann, a translator, purchased the original book in Guangzhou, China in the fall of 1830 and began translating it, and published a translation in London, the following year in 1831. In the early 19th century, the Qing Dynasty maintained a very closed foreign policy and was never friendly to foreigners. In this era, Neumann's purchase of the original book and publication of the domain proceeded surprisingly quickly. Neumann's domain was not simply a translation of Chinese into English, but was reorganized to suit the tastes of European readers. In addition, detailed explanations and rich annotations were attached to make it easier for readers who are unfamiliar with Chinese history, culture, and language to understand, making it different from the original text. It also contains the author's sharp views and insights into China's reality and China's complex history, culture, and politics, which the orientalist Neumann witnessed firsthand, allowing foreign scholars to grasp the view of China in the 19th century. Therefore, in this paper, we would like to analyze History of the Pirates who Infested the China Sea from 1807 to 1810 translated by Karl Friedrich Neumann to examine its characteristics and academic significance.

A Study of the Reasons Why Korean’s Sought to Purchase Books from China during the Chosŏn Dynasty (1392-1910)

<p>眾所皆知，今日的韓國、日本、越南各地收藏數量驚人的漢籍（中國刊本）。追溯此些國家搜求漢籍的歷程與緣由，不少學者歸諸「慕華」，即搜求漢籍出於外國人仰慕中國／中華文化的心理。慕華確實立足一定的史料基礎，也存在抱持此種想法而收買漢籍的例子。但是東亞各國對待中國的態度，絕非始終如一，而係複雜漫長的變化過程。本文旨在以朝鮮為中心，探究明清時期的朝鮮人何以代代相承，持續搜求漢籍。這股需要漢籍的力量來源可概分為三，一、長時段的因素，如知識養成、人才培育、制度設計、出版環境等；二、偶發性的事件，尤其是戰爭；三、古代東亞各國必須面對的實際需要，即與中國進行外交往來，需要一定的漢學素養。本文結合前述三方面的考察，試圖在慕華之外開闢新的視角，理解朝鮮人搜求漢籍的背景與緣由。</p> <p> </p><p>As is well known, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam possess astonishingly voluminous collections of Chinese books that were printed in China. When tracing the processes and reasons why these countries sought out Chinese publications, many scholars have attributed this phenomenon to the mentality of muhua, that is, the admiration of China or Chinese culture by foreigners. Muhua was arguably one established aspect of the historical data, and there are examples of individuals who adhered to this idea in their collecting of Chinese books. However, among East Asian countries the attitudes toward China were neither static nor unified and underwent a complex and lengthy series of changes.<br />In focusing on Chosŏn, this article aims to explore why generation after generation of Koreans living through the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to seek Chinese books. What drove the desire for Chinese books can be broadly categorized into three aspects: firstly, there were long-term factors such as the need to nurture knowledge, cultivate talent, design institutions, and improve the publishing environment; secondly there were unexpected events, especially wars; and thirdly, there were the practical needs each and every premodern East Asian country must face, specifically diplomatic exchanges with China, which required a certain level of sinological proficiency. In fleshing out these three aspects, this study will offer new perspectives beyond that of cultural admiration, to foster a better understanding of the background and reasons behind the pursuit of Chinese books in Chosŏn Korea.</p> <p> </p>

Development of Web-based School Uniforms order Application in a Private School with Prototyping Model

Strada SMK Daan Mogot, a private school in Tangerang City, oversees several operations. Student registration, academic exams, uniform measurements, and book purchases are carried out at the beginning of each school year. The Uniform Team tasked with handling this activity experienced difficulties due to the large volume of data, making conventional techniques inefficient to carry out. This research focuses on simplifying uniform ordering procedures from the uniform team to the uniform manufacturing supplier. The Uniform Team recorded and measured orders by hand, which resulted in time-consuming management and limited real-time data monitoring for the Principal. A web-based solution that allows easy access to uniform ordering data is needed to speed up these operations. The successful development and installation of this application at SMK Strada Daan Mogot is a significant achievement, with good User Acceptance Test results and confirming alignment with user needs. This progress is an essential step toward optimizing school operations.

Intersectoral care for children with autism spectrum disorder in Kazakhstan: Parents perspective

Abstract Background The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is steadily increasing worldwide, including in Kazakhstan. Recognizing the significance of early detection and providing intersectoral assistance encompassing social, medical, and educational support, it is essential for promoting children's socialization in their daily lives. The purpose was to analyze the provision of comprehensive assistance to parents of ASD children. We conducted a descriptive qualitative study that involved semi-structured face-to-face interviews with parents of ASD children. 60 respondents (51,7% under 34 years old, 45,0% - 35-44 years and 3,3% up to 45 years) participated in our study. Framework Analysis used to interpret results. Results The average age of ASD children was 6.3. 26.0% of families were single-parent households, 30.0% residents in rural areas, 66.6% had one working parent, and 58.3% had obtained higher education. 52 parents note partial support from the government, mainly the expenses of parents are associated with the purchase of books, receiving other supporting services as sports activities. Due to long waiting list from the government parents noted the other services related to out-of-pocket payments as ABA therapy, a visit to a neurologist, correctional trainings. All parents noted that they want to receive information through organizing seminars, including psychological support. Conclusions Intersectoral collaboration plays a crucial role in facilitating comprehensive assistance for ASD children and meeting their needs through government support. Improving access to transportation, resource books, organizing seminars, and implementing programs to reduce waiting lists for medical and pedagogical specialists are necessary steps. Funding The Ministry of Science and Higher education of Kazakhstan (BR18574199 «Integrating children with autism spectrum disorder into the social and educational environment based on comprehensive support: challenges and benefits). Key messages • To achieve the SDG the decision makers of all three sectors in Kazakhstan need to improve care program for ASD children. • It is necessary to expand and revise the provision of services to ensure access to educational, medical services.

OTT구독료 소득공제 도입 논의와 타당성 검토

Since the income deduction system for the expense amount of credit cards and cash receipts was first introduced at 「Restriction of Special Taxation Act」 in Korea, the benefits have also been expanded for traditional market use, public transportation use, and cultural expenditure. In particular, the cultural expense income deduction included the purchase of books and newspapers, ticket payment for performance halls and museums, and the purchase of movie tickets from July this year. In addition, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism ordered research services to incorporate OTT monthly subscriptions into credit card deductions as cultural expenses, and the National Assembly proposed a partial revision to the 「Restriction of Special Taxation Act」 in July this year. This is because tax cuts on OTT subscription fees can help not only promote people's cultural life but also secure the competitiveness of the OTT industry.
 Tax reductions should be able to take effective measures to achieve the policy objectives pursued by the government, along with a close review of the effects of each income class from the perspective of tax egalitarianism. However, the current credit card income deduction system aims to reveal the tax base of businesses rather than reduce the tax burden on the people, and there is a limit to continuously and stably operating the system due to the limitation of the sunset period under the 「Restriction of Special Taxation Act」.
 Therefore, tax cuts for OTT subscriptions should be legislated in consideration of the improvement of the system to maintain the current cultural expense deduction in preparation for the reduction or abolition of credit card income deductions in the future. In the long run, it is necessary to consider revising the 「Income Tax Act」 etc, not the 「Restriction of Special Taxation Act」, to introduce tax benefits for cultural expenditures as special tax credits or to designate them as VAT exemptions. On the other hand, tax cuts for companies should also be designed to benefit from the revitalization of the cultural content industry. However, in order to prevent tax avoidance of overseas companies, it is necessary to incorporate it into a system that can manage the sales of OTT subscriptions of the operator, such as the current cultural expense income deduction system used by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

晚淸书院藏书目录的多种类型及其成因

During the late Qing Dynasty, the construction of the collection of books in the academies developed vigorously. According to statistics, there were more bibliographies for the collection of books in the academies handed down during this period than in the previous era combined. There are various types of bibliographies for the collection of books in the academies of the late Qing Dynasty. From a detailed perspective, there are both summary bibliographies that emphasize “debating the knowledge carefully and observing the origin clearly”, and account book bibliographies that only register the basic information of books. In terms of the selection of classification systems, there are not only classification of four types of classics, but also categories that seek to break the barriers between Chinese and Western learning and set up a new classification system, and some categories that are donation directory with donor item. The diversity development of the bibliography of late Qing academies was mainly influenced by the rapid growth of the book collection in different stages, the lack of a unified classification system, and the instability of book purchases. The book collection of late Qing academies achieved diversified development in the process of continuous transformation, and their collection theory and practice are in a stage of transitioning from traditional to modern times.

Book Purchase Model for Academic Libraries Using Digital Humanities Tool

Most libraries don’t buy books based on a set of rules that reflect the research done at their affiliated institutions. A structured method for evaluating evolving research areas is a must have process in libraries, especially academic libraries. So, in this study, with the help of the digital humanities tool, the authors developed a book purchasing algorithm for an academic library that functions in accordance with the core research subjects and evolving research areas of that institution. To conduct this study, the researchers searched the SCOPUS database for articles published by the “University of Calicut” as of February 13, 2023, yielding 3305 publications. Voyant tools have been used to analyse the collected data. Significant changes in the area of research at the University of Calicut are observed from its beginning to its recent history (1967–2023). The analysis revealed a discrepancy between the primary subject areas of research and the book collection at the Calicut University library. The findings of this paper will aid librarians in their acquisition processes, and the institution will be able to support the research community. This study proposes a novel “Book Purchase Model for Academic Libraries” using a digital humanities tool that can be used in professional practice.

Literary communities in social media: the influence of motivations on engagement and purchase intention in women

A decreasing trend in young people's recreational reading habits has been observed worldwide. On the other hand, young people's daily use of social media has increased dramatically in recent years. With this evolution, different literary communities and influencers also emerged on social media.
 It is necessary to understand the motivations that lead users to engage in social media to maintain an active and involved community. Researchers have already discussed a core set of motivations to participate in online communities. However, most studies focus on brand communities, and few analyze literary communities' specific cases.
 There are various motivations for participating in communities. However, we highlight the social motivations (meeting people, being part of the community, sharing information, listening to other opinions) and hedonic ones (because participating in them is a pleasant, fun, enjoyable activity).
 Engagement in social media can be measured through a passive attitude of lurkers who only see published content or an active attitude when users comment and publish content on social media, generating discussion and interaction in the community.
 On the other hand, some studies in other areas show that intention and propensity to purchase can be affected by many factors, such as social and hedonic motivations. Could also these motivations influence intention to purchase books?
 This study aims to study the influence of hedonic and social motivations to participate in literary communities on social media engagement and book purchase intention. A quantitative methodology was used, with a sample of N= 272 female participants in literary communities on social media. The data was analyzed through the modeling of structural equations by the AMOS software. Results show that social motivations are positively related to the level of engagement in literary communities on social media. Additionally, this study revealed that hedonic motivations influence book purchase intention.

Do you judge a book by its cover? Online book purchases between Japan and France

PurposeBy adopting a cross-country analysis, this study aims to investigate how consumers' perception of book covers affects their online book purchases in terms of feelings of delight and perceived value of the book.Design/methodology/approachThe authors tested the hypotheses using a structural equation model using two countries' datasets obtained from 191 Japanese and 207 French consumers.FindingsThe perceived attractiveness of a picture/photo on a book cover can positively influence feelings of delight. Such emotion enhances a book's perceived value, resulting in active online book purchases. Furthermore, when the perceived value of a book is evident, the French are more strongly motivated to purchase books compared to Japanese consumers.Originality/valueBy simultaneously examining emotion and perceived value as an organism, the authors advance the knowledge of the relationship between book covers and online book purchases. In addition, the authors offer evidence that cross-cultural differences (between the French and Japanese) can stimulate different responses to each affective and cognitive internal state, although similar environmental stimuli are provided.
