这是一本重要而及时的书，因为它为图书馆员提供了一个实用的指南，以应对新的数字学术环境的挑战。这本书分为四个部分，包括10章，讨论了图书馆和信息科学专业人员面临的核心问题和主要挑战，因为我们寻求建立持久的伙伴关系，获得新的技能，并开发服务，以保持参与创造新知识。在广泛的论文集，这本书解决了数字奖学金，学术图书馆和专业实践之间的关系。这本书以一个简短但有见地的术语数字奖学金的检查开始，这真的奠定了本书其余部分的基础。在题为“大学图书馆和数字学术：文献综述”的第一章中，作者提供了关于图书馆和数字学术的研究文献的坚实概述。它还提出了几个重要的问题，如，什么是奖学金？什么是数字学术及其相关的学术实践？图书馆和图书馆员如何重新定位自己，以更好地参与和支持数字奖学金？作者随后敏锐地总结了关于“图书馆如何记录他们如何支持数字创新以及图书馆员技能发展的重大差距”的想法。在第二章“数字奖学金：扫描图书馆服务和空间”中，重点转移到图书馆员参与，分享了一项旨在深入了解图书馆员使用数字奖学金服务和系统的水平的调查结果。本文还讨论了嵌入和维持整个大学的创新教学和学习实践的挑战。在第2部分，恰如其分地命名为“敏捷图书馆员”，本书的重点转移到图书馆合作伙伴关系，图书馆员的角色变化，以及新兴数字环境中的专业发展。第三章题为“馆员作为合作伙伴：图书馆内外”，第四章和第五章的文章讨论了认识数字环境变化的重要性，以及新方法如何使图书馆专注于为图书馆用户提供有价值和有效的服务。本书的第三部分题为“数字空间和服务”，重点从第六章开始转向在美国创建数字奖学金中心。在第七章中，作者研究了新角色和服务的发展，这些新角色和服务将帮助图书馆在新的数字环境中成为成功的合作伙伴。最后，在本书的第四部分，题为“通信和社交网络”，作者提供了一个教育性的审查社会媒体的使用在图书馆员。第八章中的“与学术界的社交网络：文献综述”以及第九章中关于新技术对研究环境的潜在破坏性影响的一篇有趣的文章完善了这一部分。这本书以一个相当乐观的音符结束，其中有一篇关于图书馆员参与和支持数字奖学金的反思性文章。它在解决学术图书馆面临的无数问题和挑战方面做得很好，例如数字学术对服务，组织文化，图书馆空间和使用的影响。欧内斯特·博耶对学术的更包容的定义的使用拓宽了图书馆员可以用来创造新的和创新的服务的知识参数。它还帮助我们发展理论概念和专业实践，帮助图书馆员缩小在不断发展的图书馆和新的学术范式中承担我们新的和新兴角色所需的技能差距。阅读这本书将拓宽你的视野，并告知你的决策围绕图书馆员可以发挥什么作用，在发展数字学术。
This is an important and timely book because it offers librarians a practical guide to meet the challenges of the newdigital scholarly environment.Written in four parts, the book contains 10 chapters that discuss the core issues and major challenges facing library and information science professionals, as we seek to forge lasting partnerships, acquire new skills, and develop services to remain engaged participants in the creation of new knowledge. In a wide-ranging collection of essays, the book addresses the relationships among digital scholarship, academic libraries, and professional practices. The book begins with a brief but insightful examination of the term digital scholarship, which really lays the foundation for the rest of the book. In the opening chapter, entitled “The University Library and Digital Scholarship: A Review of the Literature,” the author provides a solid overview of the research literature concerning libraries and digital scholarship. It also poses several important questions such as, What is scholarship? What is digital scholarship and its associated scholarly practices? How have libraries and librarians repositioned themselves to better engage with and support digital scholarship? The author follows this with astute concluding thoughts concerning the “significant gap in how libraries are documenting how they support digital innovation as well as librarians’ skills development.” In the second chapter, “Digital Scholarship: Scanning Library Services and Spaces,” the focus shifts to librarian engagement by sharing the results from a survey designed to provide insights into the level of librarian’s use of digital scholarship services and systems. The article also addresses the challenges of embedding and sustaining innovative teaching and learning practices across the entire university. In Part 2, aptly titled “The Agile Librarian,” the focus of the book shifts to library partnerships, the changing roles of librarians, and professional development in the emerging digital landscape. The third chapter, entitled “Librarian as Partner: In and Out of the Library,” is followed by articles in chapters four and five that address the importance of recognizing changes in the digital landscape and how new methodologies can allow libraries to focus on providing valuable and effective services to library users. The third part of the book, entitled “Digital Spaces and Services,” the focus shifts to creation of digital scholarship centers in the USA, beginning in the sixth chapter. In the seventh chapter, the authors examine the development of new roles and services that will help libraries become successful partners in the new digital landscape. Finally, in the fourth part of the book, entitled “Communications and Social Networking,” the author provides an educative review of social media use among librarians. “Social Networking With the Scholarly Community: A Literature Review” in chapter eight as well as an interesting piece on the potential disruptive impact of new technologies on the research environment in chapter nine rounds out this section. The books ends on a rather upbeat note with a reflective article concerning librarian engagement and support of digital scholarship. It does a great job in addressing the myriad issues and challenges facing academic libraries, such as the impact of digital scholarship on services, organizational culture, library space, and usage. The use of Ernest Boyer’s more inclusive definition of scholarship broadens the intellectual parameters that librarians can use to create new and innovative services. It also helps us develop theoretical concepts and professional practices that can assist librarians in closing the skills gap needed to assume our new as well as emerging roles within the evolving library and in the new scholarly paradigm. Reading this book will broaden your perspective and inform your decision making around what role librarians can play in developing digital scholarship.
