Corporate libraries: The right to life

The richness of the term “library” is revealed: from the common meaning (a depositary, collection of books and other publications) to that of the library science object (an institution, social institution). The attempt is made to identify whether corporate book collections make a document array, internal book collection, or a library. The case study of the “Laboratory of urban planning” Company (St. Petersburg) is offered. The main stages of the Company’s library development and vectors of work are discussed. Other corporate libraries’ experience is examined. The common features of the corporate and special, e.g. sci-tech, libraries, that satisfy information needs and demands in professional sphere, are revealed.The author also attempts to apply Yury Stoyarov’s four-component library model to the corporate library phenomenon. She speculates on whether the library core features are applicable to a corporate library – namely, collection purpose, document array orderliness, librarian supply. The differences between the traditional concept of a library and a library as a live selforganizing system are revealed. The need to include corporate libraries into the library science subject scope and therefore to expand social influence of librarians is emphasized.

Information Acquisition And Utilization As Determinants Of Organizational Effectiveness: A Study Of Managers In Large Scale Manufacturing Industries In Nigeria.

This study examined information acquisition and utilization as determinants of organizational effectiveness of managers in large-scale manufacturing companies specializing in industrial and domestic products in Nigeria. The questionnaire was used for data collection from the 360 sampled managers out of which 332 responded and the copies of their questionnaire were found valid for analysis. The study found that the studied companies had moderate organizational effectiveness. Information acquisition, information sources and services’ utilization had significant relationship with organizational effectiveness of the respondents. However, information acquisition, information sources and services’ utilization of the managers had significantly determined organizational effectiveness of the manufacturing companies specializing in industrial and domestic products in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that the management and board of directors of the companies should encourage their managers to acquire relevant information and use it to improve their organizational effectiveness. In addition, corporate library staff should provide effective information services to the managers so as to improve organizational effectiveness of their companies.

Identification of Morpholino Thiophenes as Novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis Inhibitors, Targeting QcrB.

With the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis there is a pressing need for new oral drugs with novel mechanisms of action. Herein, we describe the identification of a novel morpholino–thiophenes (MOT) series following phenotypic screening of the Eli Lilly corporate library against M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv. The design, synthesis, and structure–activity relationships of a range of analogues around the confirmed actives are described. Optimized leads with potent whole cell activity against H37Rv, no cytotoxicity flags, and in vivo efficacy in an acute murine model of infection are described. Mode-of-action studies suggest that the novel scaffold targets QcrB, a subunit of the menaquinol cytochrome c oxidoreductase, part of the bc1-aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase complex that is responsible for driving oxygen-dependent respiration.

ANALYSIS OF CRITERIA FOR ENSURINGINFORMATION SECURITY OF SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

At present, information and knowledge in the field of science and education are strategic resources. From their formation, renewal, distribution depends not only the scientific and educational spheres, but also the socio-economic development of the country. Therefore, the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of databases of a scientific and educational nature are an important subject of research. The purpose of this article is to conduct an analysis of methods, criteria for assessing units of scientific information in terms of ensuring information security. Classification of criteria for the evaluation of scientific and educational information (SEI), their systematization, analysis of problem of ensuring the security of information resources are given. Also, the information infrastructure development indicators and projects implemented in the field of information security are outlined. Evaluation of SEI units is carried out by experts who themselves have a weighting factor and are dependent on their qualifications. The results of the research are the basis for the creation of an automated system for ensuring information security in the corporate library system of academic libraries. The corporate network forms an electronic public library, distributes the SEI between resource users. The information security system will ensure the regulation of access to resources.

Face the Books: A Leadership Journey

ABSTRACTLeadership, as a topic, has seen a lot of interest in academics as well as with practitioners. The search, however, has not yielded a concrete formula, though there are quite a few theories which have worked well in certain contexts. The context of special libraries is one such area which has a huge potential in discovering what leadership actions have worked well and what can be a framework for success in other special libraries, especially when the utility of special libraries is being questioned in a corporate environment. The dearth of leadership and leadership development literature in special libraries, from a practitioner's point of view, provides a good opportunity for sharing a small journey of success. The column builds upon the application of leadership actions deriving from diverse and merging fields like learning and development, organizational behavior, marketing, and human psychology of reading in making a case for the utility of corporate libraries in the development of employees.

Siberian libraries in corporations: problems and prospects of cooperation

Among the libraries of research institutions of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RI SB RAS) only 29 of 70 are members of any corporate library system. A survey of these libraries staff has identified the following issues that prevent them from working within corporate library systems: absence of electronic catalog in libraries related to lack of funding to purchase automated library information systems (ALIS), using various ALIS, different quality and uniformity missing of electronic catalogue records. The author suggests possible ways to solve these problems: transition to automated system IRBIS for libraries that work in other ALIS, joining IRBIS-Corporation, using cloud technology to embed information resources of the library.In the context of activity in library corporations, participating libraries afford their electronic catalog into the union catalogue; implement technology of corporate catalogization, interlibrary loan and electronic document delivery; solve problems of information services of users applying the corporative product. However, to resolve the whole complex of problems some libraries have to participate in several corporate systems. For effective corporate interaction libraries need a unified library corporate system combining all libraries of SB RAS’ research institutions and providing solutions to all complex problems.
