Abstract

Abstract The Western genre, that is frontier adventure stories set west of the Mississippi River, has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity, yet there has been no substantive look at the collection of Western genre novels and films in libraries. The online catalogs of 100 libraries across the United States were examined, and a follow-up questionnaire was sent, to determine the scope of Western genre item holdings and the institutional attitudes towards this genre. This study found that Western genre items are still well represented in most collections. However, it also revealed weaknesses in the way genre collection development is conducted.
要死还是要活?21世纪美国图书馆的西方体裁项目
西部类型小说,即以密西西比河以西为背景的边疆冒险故事,近年来越来越受欢迎,但图书馆里却没有对西部类型小说和电影的收藏进行实质性的研究。研究人员调查了美国100家图书馆的在线目录,并发送了一份后续调查问卷,以确定西方体裁文献的收藏范围和机构对这一体裁的态度。这项研究发现,西方类型的项目在大多数收藏中仍然有很好的代表性。然而,它也暴露了类型集合开发方式的弱点。
