Bibliotheken stehen mit ihren Erwerbungsentscheidungen in einem ethischen Spannungsfeld: Einerseits gilt es die Meinungs- und Informationsfreiheit zu bewahren und mit ihrem Bestand die pluralistische Gesellschaft abzudecken, andererseits nur geprüfte und weltanschaulich vertretbare Inhalte anzubieten. Bibliotheken sollten sich in diesem Spannungsfeld positionieren. Je nach Auftrag, Unterhaltsträger oder Zielgruppe der eigenen Einrichtung kann eine Bibliothek unterschiedliche Antworten für sich finden. Nach einer ethischen Einordnung wird der Umgang mit Medien an den politischen und gesellschaftlichen Rändern in verschiedenen Bibliotheksformen, wie z.B. der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek, aus der Sicht einer sammelnden Bibliothek und von öffentlichen Bibliotheken verschiedener Größe aufgezeigt. Neben dem Bestandsaufbau und Kontextualisierung wird die Kommunikation von bestandspolitischen Entscheidungen thematisiert. Ein Schwerpunkt bildet der Umgang mit dem Kulturkampf von rechts. Praxisbeispiele runden die theoretischen Beiträge ab. Der Band bildet den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion ab und richtet sich an Fachleute, Studierende und Politikwissenschaftler.

Jahrhundert mit den kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen in der SBZ/DDR und den Verlagen beschäftigt haben, werden im abschließenden Teil 3 die nichtlizenzierten, gleichwohl zugelassenen Verlage, die inoffizielle Literaturszene, die literarischen und werbenden Zeitschriften, Buchherstellung, Buchkunst, der verbreitende Buchhandel mit seinen Sparten Zwischen-, Sortiments- und Antiquariatsbuchhandel, die Buchgemeinschaften, der Postzeitungsvertrieb, die Leipziger Buchmesse und der Außenhandel sowie die Transformationsprozesse nach dem revolutionären Umbruch von 1989 und der deutschen Einheit dargestellt. Insgesamt geben im dreigliedrigen DDR-Band 52 Autoren auf rund 2.000 Seiten einen vielschichtigen Überblick zur ostdeutschen Buchlandschaft zwischen 1945 und Mitte der 1990er Jahre. Jeder Teil enthält zahlreiche historische Abbildungen und ein Register zu Personen, Verlagen, Buchhandlungen, Druckereien und Buchinstitutionen.

Die Tarifparteien der Länder haben 2020 eine geänderte Entgeltordnung vereinbart, wodurch statt bibliotheksspezifischer nun die allgemeinen Tätigkeitsmerkmale für den Verwaltungsdienst auch auf Tätigkeiten in Bibliotheken angewendet werden. Dadurch sowie durch allgemeine aktuelle Entwicklungen im Bibliothekswesen ergeben sich in etlichen Entgeltgruppen Veränderungen. Das neue Standardwerk für die Erstellung von Stellenbeschreibungen und Stellenbewertungen in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken führt neben neuen auch umfassend aktualisierte Arbeitsvorgänge auf und versteht sich als Instrument, um Tätigkeiten in Bibliotheken den unbestimmten Rechtsbegriffen bzw. Entgeltgruppen der derzeit gültigen Entgeltordnung zuzuordnen. Ergänzt wird das Werk durch Grundlagenwissen zum Thema Eingruppierung, Stellenbeschreibung und Stellenbewertung. Nachdem Ende 2020 die Arbeitsvorgänge in Bibliotheken, 1. Öffentliche Bibliotheken (AVÖB) erschienen sind, folgt hiermit die Neufassung der Arbeitsvorgänge in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken (AVWB) sowie erstmals eine Zusammenstellung von Arbeitsvorgängen in staatlichen Bücherei- und Bibliotheksfachstellen (AVBF). Erarbeitet von Anke Berghaus-Sprengel, Kirsten Brodmann, Heike Budnitz, Katharina Ebrecht, Wolfgang Folter, Volker Fritz, Heike Lochner, Petra Mende, Robert Zepf.

"Book Publishing and the Internet?" is the English version of the second edition of a cult classic for editors and publishers, writers, literary agents, booksellers, scholars and students of digital humanities and history of the book and everybody interested in the fascinating recent history of publishing and digital media. With the first edition of this "impossible handbook" in 2001 Brunella Longo explained risks and opportunities of ecommerce, ebooks and print on demand. This new edition includes an introduction and five new chapters rich of insight and comparisons, plus historical data for surprising discoveries of data, forecasts and case histories spanning over two decades.==================EXTRACTS FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Book Publishing and the Internet is the English edition of La nuova editoria vent'anni dopo (2022). It offers a reflective tool for decision making and for the strategic review of the organisational changes, the investments and the policies needed to remain relevant in the digital age and reinvent products and processes. The book aims at reaching also a wider audience of people interested in the history of the digital, offering a source of documentation and research. Chapters two, three and four cover e-commerce and other industrial aspects, ebooks and the challenges of reading on screens in the digital social environments and the art of printing in the so called postprint age, respectively. The focus is on the huge transformations the book publishing sector has been going through over the last two or three decades due to the development of the Internet economy and its digital infrastructure: technical frameworks and standards but also legislation, governance and policies and of course professional skills and social behaviours that have been having terrific consequences on production and consumptions of all forms and genres of books. This work would not exist if in 2000 I had not written La nuova editoria, published in 2001 [...] that went out of print after few years. Chapter one, "A book returning to life", recounts my personal journey following the publication of La nuova editoria, explains the creative context of the first generation of Internet endeavours and the complexity of stakeholders management after 2001.[...]Finally, one year has passed since the publication of the Italian edition on this book. Between then and now the hype about generative artificial intelligence has possibly reached its peak with marketing rumours and important initiatives about the impact AI will have for authors, media and publishers of any size. I am quite relieved to conclude that nothing I wrote for the Italian edition required adjustments or revisions for the English one, against the backdrop of such great excitement, news and concerns: on the contrary, the public debates about the matter will possibly help the reader to engage deeper with my text that some insiders have had access to and have anticipated for public consultations, seminars and debates in recent months. However, something has indeed increased considerably over the last year and it is the public attention to problems of information security, accessibility and preservation of ebooks and digital contents. It will become clear from the first and the last chapters of Book Publishing and the Internet that the very purpose of making a contribution to digital preservation and history of the digital motivated me to write and publish this book.

We are urged to create content that is flawless in outward appearance."No typos!" "No grammar errors!" "No meandering". "Great cover design". "One billion pixels". Technical perfection, in other words.But when is 80% = done?When is a Bird in the Hand worth ten or more in the Bush, too?What about the content? And what if one doesn't have the money to or time to polish, polish, polish?And when is the seeking of lots of book reviews akin to putting perfume on something that needs no camo? Are some people putting lipstick on what amounts to Word Salads? Besides, what if one is prolific, too? Or is spending their Sheckles and time much more on loved ones?Again, is there always a hard and fast rule on editing our work, including typos and grammar?And what of getting book reviews - how many are necessary? Indeed, are there adequate or even profoundly greater credentials for a book than the number of book reviews, or even testimonials?Does a great-looking person who walks into a bar, need to hold a sign showing the number of book reviews they have - or the equivalent, say, in terms of how many dates they have had, or too, how much money they make? Or their job title? Or is their body language and overall demeanor their form of book reviews? Indeed, can even the number of books published, or the courage needed to address the issues, be more important by far, than the number of reviews, or any lack of polish?The author talks of these things, and there is a scannable QR code which will pull up a twenty-five-minute audiovisual on how his life turned out as it did, and how this made for very interesting views on publishing.

Die Studie fächert erstmals die Entwicklung der Leipziger Buchmesse von 1945 bis 1990 auf. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fand die Messe ihre Rolle im planwirtschaftlichen Literaturbetrieb. Die DDR nutzte sie als Leistungsschau, um Bücher und Kultur vor internationaler Kulisse in Szene zu setzen. Dabei diente das Frankfurter Pendant als Maßstab. Für die Lesenden in der Diktatur bot die Messe einzigartigen Zugang zu westlichen Medieninhalten und war Ort des legendären Messeklaus. Dieser Offenheit begegneten die Beteiligten mit Zensur und Überwachung durch die Staatssicherheit. Durch die Messe wurde Leipzig zu einem Knotenpunkt des deutsch-deutschen Kulturaustauschs. Die Verlage der Bundesrepublik suchten den Kontakt und wirkten als Schrittmacher des innerdeutschen Literaturtransfers. Mit Blick auf die konfliktreiche Beziehung beider Börsenvereine leisteten sie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Entspannung zwischen Ost und West. Auf einer breiten Quellenbasis rekonstruiert Patricia F. Blume die Entstehung der Leipziger Buchmesse, ihre Funktionen und ihren Wandel. Dabei verbindet sie Buchhandelsgeschichte mit Wirtschafts-, Alltags-, Kultur- und Rezeptionsgeschichte.
