INFLUENCE OF LIBRARY ACTIVITIES ON STUDENTS’ READING DYNAMISM

The article presents the results of research carried from 1997 up to 2018 on the basis of the scientific library of the Omsk State Technical University. A definite part of the research was done together with the Department of Library and Information Work of Dostoevsky Omsk State University: the comparative analysis of the meaning aspects of students reading (types and kinds of literature, genres and authors); reading dynamism; factors and motivations influencing the readers’ activity; regularity of visiting the library. Special role is devoted to correlation of reading books in electronic and traditional forms. Changes in authors’ preferences that depended on many factors (environment, information technologies, library activities, advertisement offers, etc.) are examined in detail due to the period under study. Social networks as a new factor influencing the junior reading are observed. An important place in the article is given to the practical activity of the scientific library of the Omsk State Technical University for to promote reading among students. The article presents an analysis of educational and leisure activities of the library, in which literary and artistic, creative, intellectual competitions and projects, library actions for students take place. Competition for the best reading group, literary artistic projects “Word modulations” and “Tints of colors”, students’ interuniversity literature society “Poetic studio” activities and others play an important role. The results of practical researches are visualized with the help of figures (diagrams, graphs) illustrating research data. This makes it possible to identify the factors of the library activity influence on reading dynamism in the period from 1997 up to 2018, correlate common and particular in artistic preferences, youth’ scientific interests and also aims of their visiting the library.

«…MILITARY LIBRARIES, BESIDES OFFICERS THEMSELVES, MUST SERVE THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL»

The book plays an important role in a human life, especially in childhood, shaping his intellectual and moral potential. Due to the lack of research on forming collections of literature for children in military libraries for officers, the author has appeared to be the first in domestic library science to consider these libraries’ catalogues of book collections for to reveal information about books for children. The purpose of this study is quantitative and qualitative analysis of publications for collections of literature for children in libraries for the Russian Army officer. Objectives of the study are: 1) to calculate absolute and relative indicators of availability of publications for children in the libraries for officers; 2) to determine reasons for the small number of departments for children; 3) to identify and analyze the legal basis for using collections of military libraries for officers by members of military personnel families. The article uses source studying and comparative methods of research. The work bases on a wide representative source foundation – with the involvement of the main normative and legal documents, which clearly regulated the admission of family members of officers and officials, including children, to libraries at military assemblies, and catalogues of military officer libraries’ books for different years. According to this study results, children’s departments accounted for between 0.6 and 6.6% of officer libraries book collections. The article details the repertoire of children’s departments (they contained works by both Russian and foreign authors). The reasons for the small number of children’s departments of officer libraries and the peculiarities of their recruitment with literature for children have been identified and analyzed. This study results have expanded the understanding of military officer libraries book collections and their role in the officers and their family members’ lives.

Integrating Student Assistants into Digital Repository Workflows: Challenges and Best Practices

The Scholarly Communication Initiatives and Digital Collections departments within the University adapted staff workflows to become student-centered, where workers create digital content for the University’ digital repositories. Each department has a diverse set of needs; Scholarly Communication Initiatives hires students to help with the creation of metadata records, review open access options for sharing each work, and upload items into the institutional repository. Digital Collections relies on students to scan, create metadata, and upload images online that reflect physical holdings in Special Collections and Archives. Utilizing student workers also provides more time for full-time staff to work on higher-level projects and to update, rethink, improve, and streamline existing workflows. Both departments have found that student-centered workflows teach technical and transferable skills while also encouraging students to grow professionally, academically, and socially, setting students up for success beyond graduation. Empowering the whole student and encouraging their personal and collaborative growth thus helps each department to become more efficient and successful in their missions, a triumph that is possible for any library department of an academic institution. While there is a large body of research on student workers in libraries, including on the topics of management and specific functional areas, there is very little research focused on student workers in digital repositories. This article begins to fill this gap and discusses the philosophies and methodologies of both departments’ approaches, as well as the results of implementing student-centered processes for the department and full-time staff.

Perceived Gaps in Infopreneurship Education and Research in the Faculty of Communication and Information Science at the National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe, in the Period 2011–2018

Infopreneurship education at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Zimbabwe is a course designed to provide students with the requisite skills and knowledge to identify a potential business idea centred on information- or knowledge-related services. Besides a few studies that have been done to date by academics and students, the infopreneurship content offered at NUST seems to be thin and excludes key topics. This study sought to investigate the perceived gaps in infopreneurship education and research in the Faculty of Communication and Information Science (CIS) at NUST in the period 2011–2018. A descriptive survey research design was employed and data were collected using content and document analysis, questionnaires, and interviews. Purposive sampling was used to select 46 undergraduate students from the departments of Library and Information Science (LIS) and Records and Archives Management (RAM) who had just completed a course on infopreneurship. The findings reveal that very few studies on infopreneurship have been conducted by undergraduate and postgraduate students in the RAM and LIS departments from 2011 to 2018, let alone academics in the same faculty. The findings indicate that although the infopreneurship curriculum has undergone some changes over the years, it still lacks content on business aspects. This study recommends that students be encouraged to undertake research on infopreneurship, and that the infopreneurship course be reviewed to include topics on business analysis, innovation and idea generation, market research, technology entrepreneurship, and financial management and planning. The study also recommends that the CIS Faculty engage in field trips to established infopreneurship businesses to facilitate practical learning orientation for infopreneurship education.

Pain: A Review Guide

Pain: A Review Guide is edited by Alaa Abd-Elsayed, who is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin as an assistant professor in the Department of Anesthesiology. Along with his team of other well-known authors, he has made an honest effort to assemble a compendium of various aspects of pain medicine and allied disciplines including physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and palliative care. This book is written in an easy-to-read format and covers almost every aspect of pain in a systematic manner, with up-to-date references. The book is divided into 31 parts and further subdivided into 277 chapters. In effect, each part is a chapter, and the chapters of the book are short subsections. Apportioning of the content into 277 segments makes it very easy for the reader to master almost all information communicated on a given topic in as little as 10–20 minutes. Considering the strengths first, the book is a quick and comprehensive source for fellows preparing for board examinations. The book covers most pain medicine topics covered in international curricula. Chapters have a consistent format including high yield points for examinations and multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter. In total, the book posits 831 questions, a significant quantity, which is comparable to any other pain medicine or board review resource available on the market. We were particularly pleased to see chapters that cover research and study design (Part II); psychological, social, and cultural aspects of pain (Parts VI and VII); palliative and hospice care (Part XIX); physical medicine and work rehabilitation (Parts XXII and XXIII); complementary medicine (Part XXIV); and pain relief in areas of deprivation and conflict (Part XXIX), topics which we find are often neglected in review materials. The book also concludes with a chapter discussing learning theories and examination taking strategies, which is a good way to finish on a positive note. A major limitation of the text is the paucity of relevant figures, tables, and flowcharts. Chapter 97, on anticoagulation in interventional pain management, is one of the most egregious examples of this lack of visual aids. In the article by Narouze et al,1 the guidelines for antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications for interventional spine and pain procedures are expressed very nicely unlike what is presented in the 9-page prose explanation that is used in this review book. No book on pain medicine is complete unless procedures that involve an understanding of anatomy are supplemented by figures showing the relevant anatomy. Chapter 157 on the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) shows anatomic details of the anterior aspect of the joint, but for an interventional pain specialist, a detailed knowledge of posterior view is more important. The posterior aspect of the joint is the most common entry point for SIJ procedures, and figures to assist in image-guided interventions or even diagnostic tests for SIJ pain are lacking. Similarly, although Chapters 104–107 (nerve blocks of upper extremity) do contain several anatomical figures, other chapters highlighting important blocks are devoid of figures detailing the imaging of these procedures, including Chapters 108–120 and 150 (nerve blocks of the lower extremity and pelvis); Chapters 129, 130, 133, and 134 (nerve blocks of head and neck); and Chapters 98–100 and 189–191 (ganglion nerve blocks and stimulation, kyphoplasty, and vertebroplasty), although the authors did provide good textual details. Interestingly, every chapter begins on an odd page on the right-hand side of the book. This leaves at least half a page and up to one and half pages blank at the end of a previous chapter, which can be utilized for student notes between the chapters. However, we feel the authors could have used this space to accommodate more figures and tables in the book. Also, no digital version of the book was made available for review. In summary, Pain: AReview Guide by Alaa Abd-Elsayed is a high-quality review of the diverse specialty of pain medicine. As reviewers, we would recommend this book to residents or fellows who are preparing for their board examination on pain medicine. An eBook would be a better alternative for residents, and the hardcover would be more useful in a departmental library. If additional tables, flowcharts, and figures on image-guided interventions were to be included along with the text in subsequent editions, the book may prove to be one of the best and ready resources to refresh one’s knowledge when seeing patients in a busy pain clinic.

PENGELOLAAN ARSIP DINAMIS PADA FAKULTAS USHULUDDIN ADAB DAN DAKWAH (FUAD) IAIN BATUSANGKAR

The management of dynamic records becomes the reference of an organization to achieve the goals of the organization. Dynamic archives will not be separated from correspondence in each unit at the agency. The background of this research is that the archives of Ushuluddin Adab and Da'wah (FUAD) IAIN Batusangkar have not been maximized. The research that the author uses is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. There were 4 informants in this assessment consisting of 1 Head of Administration and 4 archiving officers in the Faculty environment, are a receptionist manager, 3 departmental employees namely 1 Department of Library and Islamic Science Department 1 employee, Islamic Broadcast Communication 1 people and employees majoring in Islamic Political Thought 1 person. Based on observations made by the author, it can be concluded that the management of dynamic archives at the Faculty of Usuluddin Adab and Da'wah (FUAD) of Batusangkar IAIN has not run optimally, for the management of incoming and outgoing letters such as official letters, student letters in their distribution require a long time especially when the receptionist was not in place because the receptionist was a lecturer employed. Staff limitations and the difficulty in re-finding archives are due to the management of archives that are not in accordance with the standards and inadequate supporting facilities. Archival shrinkage in the Faculty of Usuluddin Adab and Da'wah has not used the Archive Retention Schedule.

A Vertical Cooperation Model to Manage Digital Collections and Institutional Resources

The technology space of the University of Denver Libraries to manage digital collections and institutional resources isn’t relegated to one department on campus – rather, it distributed across a network of collaborators with the skills and expertise to provide that support. The infrastructure, which is comprised of an archival metadata management system (Archivespace), a digital repository (Node.js + ElasticSearch), preservation storage (ArchivesDirect), and a streaming server (Kaltura) is independently but cooperatively managed across IT, library departments and vendors. The coordinated effort of digital curation activities still allows each group to focus on the service they have the most vested interest in providing. This paper will talk about the different management and development practices involved in developing our integrated infrastructure to provide digital collections as a service.

Interactions between Technical and Public Services: Perceptions from Three Different Librarians

ABSTRACT The presenters described different experiences in public and technical services at their respective organizations. These experiences included a career shift, launching e-book initiatives, and the work of a solo librarian. Although each presenter described a unique experience in terms of the nature of their work and institution, they each emphasized the benefits of working toward a collaborative and cooperative culture among different library or institutional departments.

Procedimiento de los investigadores de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata en la búsqueda de información

The search of information and its collateral problems affect the development of the researchers activity. We would like to analyze this subject through the study of the behavior guidelines of researchers of the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences of the University of La Plata, in order to identify informative behavior and, at the same time, to find out the obstacles that avoid the optimal use of the Central Library and the Departmental Libraries of the Institution. The obtained results will serve as a base to define quality indicators applicable to the continuous improvement of the library services. As a result of the analysis of methodologies applied to user studies, it was decided to combine the quantitative and qualitative perspectives in this work.

Status of Library 2.0 Model in Cape Town Public Libraries

The Library 2.0 model is one of many library service models. It has its origin in and has borrowed concepts from Web 2.0, which is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information-sharing, interoperability, user-centred design and collaboration on the World Wide Web. The focus of Library 2.0 is on user-centred change and participation in the creation of content. The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation of Library 2.0 in the libraries of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality (hereafter City of Cape Town) and the challenges they encountered in using Library 2.0 technologies to deliver services. The website of the City of Cape Town Library and Information Services Department was visited to explore the implementation and usage of Web 2.0 tools, including blogs, really simple syndication (RSS), wikis, social networking, and social bookmarking. In addition, data were obtained from an interview conducted with the manager at the said department in charge of technical services, which included the implementation of new technologies. It was found that City of Cape Town libraries were slow in adopting Library 2.0 technologies in their services—there was no evidence on the website of the use of popular Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, video- and photo-sharing/-streaming, RSS, social bookmarking, and mash-ups. The research shed some light on the Web 2.0 tools used by public libraries other than those in Cape Town and it also highlighted how they were used and what their benefits were. More importantly, the research demonstrated the need for public libraries to embed Web 2.0 tools in their services and to keep abreast with and embrace emerging technologies.

Use of bibliometric analysis of Greek hospital personnel publications.

In this paper, Stamatoula Pylarinou with her supervisor Prof. Sarantos Kapidakis reports on an analysis of bibliographic data of the publications of Greek hospital personnel, conducted as part of Stamatoula's doctoral research in the Department of Archive, Library and Museum Sciences at the Ionian University in Corfu, Greece. Using freely available data, they demonstrate the questions posed and the insights gained from the analysis of the scientific publications of personnel of public hospitals in Greece, in particular amid the years of austerity in Greece. With regard to impact on practice, they suggest that these procedures for the processing of medline/PubMed bibliographic data can improve communication among hospital librarians and administration or patients, adding value to their duties and enhancing the information and services they can provide.

An Artist in the Making. Yehuda Leib ben Eliyya Ha-Cohen’s Haggadah, Copenhagen, 1769

Ulf G. Haxen: An Artist in the Making – Yehuda Leib ben Eliyya Ha-Cohen’s Haggadah, Copenhagen, 1769
 ‘Eclecticism’ as an artistic term refers to an approach rather than a style, and is generally used to describe the combination of different elements from various art-historical periods – or pejoratively to imply a lack of originality. Proponents of eclecticism argue more favourably, however, with reference to the 16th century Carracci family and their Bolognese followers, that the demands of modernity (i.e. the new Baroque style) could be met by skilful adaptation of art features from various styles of the past.
 The essay concerns the eighteenth century scribe and miniaturist Yehuda Leib ben Eliyah Ha-Cohen’s illustrated Haggadah liturgy of the second book of the, Old Testament Exodus, which represents a shift of paradigm away from the traditional Bohemia-Moravian school of Jewish book-painting towards a new approach. Our artist experiments freely, and to a certain extent successfully, with a range of different styles, motifs, themes, and iconographical traits, such as conversation pieces.
 Yehuda Leib Ha-Cohen may have abandoned his home-town, the illustrious rabbinic center Lissa/Leszno in Poland, after a fire devastated its Jewish quarter in 1767. He migrated to Denmark and lived and worked in Copenhagen for at least ten years, as indicated by two of his extant works, dated Copenhagen 1769 and 1779 respectively. He was thus a contemporary of another Danish Jewish master of the Bohemia – Moravian school, Uri Feibush ben Yitshak Segal, whose iconic miniature work The Copenhagen Haggadah (1739) is well-known by art historians in the field.
 Yehuda Leib Ha-Cohen drew some of his Haggadic themes from two main sources, the Icones Biblicae by Mathäus Merian and the Amsterdam Haggadot 1695 and 1712 (e.g. Pit’om and Ramses, The Meal Before the Flight). He never imitates his models, however. He adapts the standard motifs according to his own stylistic perception of symmetry and perspective, furnishing the illustrations with a muted gouache colouring.
 Several of his Haggadic themes are executed with inventiveness, pictorial imagination, and a subtle sense of humour, such as The Seder Table, The Four Sons, The Finding of the Infant Moses, Solomon’s Temple, and Belshazzars Feast. 
 Yehuda Leib’s enigmatic reference to the ‘the masons’ (Hebrew הבנאים ) in the manuscript’s colophon has until now hardly been satisfactorily interpreted. Incidentally, however, another Hebrew prayer-book written and decorated by Mayer Schmalkalden in Mainz in 1745, recently acquired by Library of Congress, bears the same phrase (fi ‘inyan ha-bana’im = according to the code of the Masons). Dr. Ann Brener, a Hebrew specialist at the Oriental Department of Library of Congress, suggests in an unpublished essay, that the reference may be an allusion to ‘the Talmudic scholars who engage in building up the world of civilization’, (The Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 114a). However that may be, Yehuda Leib Ha-Cohen’s miniatures constitute a veritable change of paradigm as far as eighteenth-century Hebrew book illustration is concerned.

Portal: Libraries and the Academy 2020 Johns Hopkins University Press Award for Best Article

portal:Libraries and the Academy 2020 Johns Hopkins University Press Award for Best Article Marianne Ryan (bio) The Best Article Award Committee has announced the selection of "'Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should': Practitioner Perceptions of Learning Analytics Ethics" as recipient of the 2019 Johns Hopkins University Press Award for the best article featured in portal: Libraries and the Academy during 2019. Written by Kyle M. L. Jones, the article appears in volume 19, number 3 (2019), pages 407–28 and can be accessed at https://muse.jhu.edu/article/729196. As noted in the committee's report, this timely and well-written essay uses qualitative research to address ethical issues regarding learning analytics, the gathering and analysis of a wide range of data about students to assess their academic progress and improve their educational outcomes. The article provides valuable context for the uptake of learning analytics in academic libraries in response to findings and recommendations from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) 2010 publication The Value of Academic Libraries: A Comprehensive Research Review and Report by Megan Oak-leaf. Learning analytics is a topic of growing importance for libraries as they attempt to demonstrate their role in student success and their value to higher education. Members of the portal Editorial Board called Jones's essay "a good introduction to the ethical questions surrounding learning analytics" and "an important contribution to the literature." Jones raises important questions, including whether assessment findings justify potentially compromising student privacy and whether the information libraries gather by using learning analytics is worth the ethical dilemmas that doing so can create. The article suggests that institutional review boards may lack familiarity with the emerging issues of data ethics, which may result in overly lenient examination of library learning analytics research. It theorizes that current learning analytics practice may not be consistently guided by the American Library Association (ALA) Code of Ethics. This inconsistency has fueled heated debate, particularly in discussions of data [End Page 411] ethics. Jones also offers practical and actionable suggestions for how libraries might navigate these challenging waters. Comments from the board consistently noted the timeliness of this topic and Jones's balanced and thoughtful treatment. One member observed that Jones's essay "demonstrates, through a literature review, analysis of current practice, a focus on professional ethics for librarians (especially user privacy), and methodologically sound interviews with library practitioners, just how much of an ethical minefield [learning analytics] is for academic libraries." Another called the essay "an effective article for me to point to for others to read and join the conversation locally." Still another said, "This is a conversation that needs to happen." Kyle M. L. Jones is an assistant professor in the Department of Library and Information Science in the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University–Purdue University, Indianapolis. His research primarily focuses on student privacy issues that emerge from mining sensitive or confidential student data and information, which institutions use to match courses and majors to students' interests, to support interpersonal relationships, and to improve learning outcomes. His secondary research interest concentrates on emerging educational technologies and their efficacy in library and information science (LIS) graduate programs and for LIS professional development. Jones is currently coprincipal investigator for two Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) research grants: the first to investigate faculty perspectives of student privacy and their practices in relation to learning analytics, and the second to develop continuing education for academic library practitioners to address student privacy and deal with the emerging ethical issues of learning analytics. He teaches courses on database design and information policy, and publishes extensively on the topics of student confidentiality and data ethics with respect to library learning analytics. Articles selected for portal's Best Article Award are chosen through a multistep process by which Editorial Board members nominate a pool of articles from each volume. The entire board then votes on a short list of the most nominated articles. Criteria used in the selection process examine the quality of the research methodology; the extent to which the article places library issues in a broader academic or higher education context; the degree to which...

Results of bibliometric analysis of the publication activity on the scientific library website

The main function of the scientific library is to provide information support and library services to meet the needs of research scientists engaged in research activities and it is becoming increasingly important to enhance the outreach services, build public awareness of science reducing the evidence-practice gap. With that in mind, library websites are among the most appropriate platforms, that hold potential in addressing these concerns, providing online access to a wide range of library and information science sources, visualization of the results both of scientific research carried out by scientific institutions and the librarydevelopments. In this paper we focus on the website of Central scientific library (CSL), department of Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LNS RAS), in Pushchino Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (PRS RAS). This website has been designed as the multifunctional information system offering the users, on one hand, the means for searching the requested information in electron catalogs of the library and all its departments, dissertation database, branched index system in physico-chemical biology, publications of the research scientists from the Center, databases by subject relating to research activities performed in PSC RAS), and, on the other hand, the results of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of published research of the scientific institutes in the Center (https://cnbp.ru/). The scientific community of PSC RAS has appreciated posted on the library website research projects such as “Achievements of Schools of Science in Pushchino Scientific Center”, “Scientific dynasties in Pushchino”, a database of the former research scientists who worked in PSC continuing their research activities abroad”. Of special interest is the website section created after the study of the information needs of the PCL users which present the results of a bibliometric analysis. Mature researchers may find information on number of times their individual articles have been cited by others, track the impact of their scientific theme, communicate with potential research partners; postgraduate and graduate students may gain insight into a variety of research activity carried out in the scientific Center, enabling them to see the magnitude of the Center’s scientific developments; the administration of institutes may assess the published research of their employees, compare the position in the institutes ranking with respect to other ones in the scientific world, evaluate international activity.

ЛИТЕРАТУРА РУССКОГО ЗАРУБЕЖЬЯ В БИБЛИОТЕЧНЫХ СПЕЦХРАНАХ

The issue of the creative heritage of writers of the Russian abroad has been studied by many domestic and foreign scientists, but the problem of their works existence in the library special collections is not studied enough. The work objective is to present the specificity of acquisition of major Russian (Soviet) library with publications of authors-immigrants, to reveal general and specific principles of collection formation and preservation inherent for special depositories based on the analysis of documents storing in the Center for Contemporary Documentation, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI). The methodological basis is a set of principles and approaches of historical, cultural and bibliologic nature. After the October Revolution a large number of creative intelligentsia left Russia (philosophers, writers, artists). The first wave of Russian emigration that began in 1918 was a mass and lengthy process. Among the famous writers there emigrated: I. Bunin, I. Shmelev, A. Averchenko, K. Balmont, Z. Gippius, B. Zaitsev, A. Kuprin, A. Remizov, I. Severyanin, A. Tolstoy, Teffi, Sasha Chrernyi, M. Tsvetaeva, M. Aldanov, G. Adamovich, G. Ivanov, V. Khodasevich. At the end of the World War II, the second wave of emigration began, which was no longer as mass as the first. Most of the writers and poets emigrated to Germany and the United States. The most famous among the representatives of the second wave are poets: I. Elagin, D. Klenovski, V. Yurasov, V. Morshen, V. Chinnov. The third wave of emigration started in “Khrushchev ottepel” time. A. Solzhenitsyn’s works were prohibited for publication, сriminal cases were brought against Y. Daniel and A. Sinyavsky, I. Brodsky was convicted for slothfulness, exiled to remote places. Later, V. Aksenov, V. Voinovich, V. Maksimov and others were forced to leave the USSR. Writes-emigrants stayed a great number of works created and published off the frames of Soviet census, which allow preserving historical facts for future generations The literature of the Russian emigration has always occupied a significant place in the libraries' stocks of special storage. The Russian abroad literature divides into three periods corresponding to three waves in the history of Russian emigration: 1918 – early 1940s – the first wave; mid 1940– 1950s – the second wave; late 1960s – early 1980s – the third wave. The collection of literature of the Russian Diaspora of the Russian State Library contains works of the authors of all waves of emigration. In total, over 700 thousand of documents are stored here. In the library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, works of Russian writers and scientists published after 1917 are stores in the reading room of the Russian Diaspora collection. There are significant collections in the Russian National Library – white guard newspapers and journals of the Civil war, literature of foreign centers of the Russian emigration of the 1920–1930s, as well as some works of writers of the emigration first wave. These specific library departments formed and preserved a huge literature collection of the Russian Diaspora of the XX century. Thanks to them, scientists, researchers and intellectuals had the opportunity to get acquainted with the literature of emigrant writers.
