What is the point of publishing in the humanities? This Element provides an answer to this question. It builds on a unique set of quantitative and qualitative data to understand why humanities scholars publish. It looks at both basic characteristics such as publication numbers, formats, and perceptions, and differences of national academic settings alongside the influences of the UK's Research Excellence Framework and the German Exzellenzinitiative. The data involve a survey of more than 1,000 humanities scholars and social scientists in the UK and Germany, allowing for a comprehensive comparative study, and a series of qualitative interviews. The resulting critique provides scholars and policy makers with an accessible and critical work about the particularities of authorship and publishing in the humanities. And it gives an account of the problems and struggles of humanities scholars in their pursuit of contributing to discourse, and to be recognised with their intellectual work.

Öffentliche und wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken in Deutschland und über Deutschland hinaus gewährleisten Informations- und Meinungsfreiheit mit ihren Services zur Vermittlung von Information, Kompetenz und Wissen. Mit diesem Anspruch der Teilhabe wie auch der Nachhaltigkeit treten Bibliotheken für demokratische Werte ein, die in Deutschland im Grundgesetz verankert sind. Auf dieser Grundlage stellen sich für Bibliotheken politische Fragen und Herausforderungen, die im Rahmen ihres gesellschaftlichen Auftrags stehen. Dabei geht es um folgende Themenfelder: Mission der Bibliotheken in der Demokratie; Demokratieförderung in Bibliotheken; Politische Bildung in Bibliotheken einschl. Maßnahmen; Bildungspolitische Initiativen in Bibliotheken; Kulturpolitik in Bibliotheken. Dies gilt für Öffentliche und Wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken und erklärt ihr umfassendes Aufgaben- und Leistungsspektrum, das weit über Informations- und Medienversorgung hinausgeht. Im vorliegenden Band wird die gesellschaftliche und politische Rolle von Bibliotheken aufgezeigt. Ausgehend von einer Bestimmung ihres demokratischen Auftrags geht es darum, wie Bibliotheken diese Mission aufgreifen und in ihren Service- und Veranstaltungsportfolios realisieren: Bibliotheken in der Mitte der Gesellschaft; Bibliotheken als informelle Bildungsträger; Dritte Orte - Räume der Stadtkultur; Zivile Streitkultur in Bibliotheken; True or Fake News? Angesichts zunehmender Infragestellung westlich geprägter Demokratien, wie wir es auch in Deutschland erleben, wird die Brisanz und die Notwendigkeit deutlich, dass Bibliotheken aufgrund ihrer großen Wirksamkeit in die Gesellschaft mit den in ihnen gelebten demokratischen Werte Position beziehen. Der mit vorliegendem Band gegebene Überblick vermittelt den Impact, über den Demokratie und Politik im Wirkungsfeld Öffentlicher und Wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken verfügen, indem sie sich der Gesellschaft öffnen.
