Briefly discusses the World War II origins of OR and focuses on its post-war application to libraries and their efforts to improve systems of bibliographic control in the wake of the deluge of documents generated by scientific and technological advance and by the onset of the Cold War. Examines three pioneering attempts to apply OR to research libraries — by Philip Morse at MIT, Michael Buckland at the University of Lancaster, England, and by Ferdinand Leimkuhler at Purdue University. Culminates by exploring OR's legacy in the computerized research library and possible reasons for its sudden disappearance.","PeriodicalId":81856,"journal":{"name":"Library history","volume":"23 1","pages":"151 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/174581607x205662","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65565463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gold diggers working in small groups and in geographical isolation, and the merchants, tradesmen, publicans, professionals and officials who followed them into the wilderness, felt keenly the need to connect with the outside world and with the societies they had left behind, and books, periodicals, and newspapers were an effective means of doing this.","PeriodicalId":81856,"journal":{"name":"Library history","volume":"129 1","pages":"41 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/174581607X177475","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65565416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Innovation and ideology: Walter Hofmann's library work in Dresden-Plauen and Leipzig 创新与意识形态:沃尔特·霍夫曼在德累斯顿-普劳恩和莱比锡的图书馆工作

Hoffman entered librarianship having been commissioned by Ida Bienert, the wife of a wealthy manufacturer, to plan, organize and manage a public library for the inhabitants of Dresden-Plauen, a district of Dresden. The library opened in 1906. The following year Hofmann began to publish his 'pilot' ideas, which soon attracted the attention of professional colleagues. In 1913 the City of Leipzig entrusted him with the responsibility of building a city library system, which allowed him to test his library model on a larger scale. At the same time he began to extend his influence on German librarianship, an influence which continued to increase until the 1930s. His aggressive commitment, his tendency to be polemical, and his authoritarian personality, as well as his inventiveness and knowledge as an expert, made him extremely successful. But these qualities also resulted in factional conflict, the so-called 'Richtungsstreit'. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Hofman tried to save as much as possible of his achievements, but was forced to retire when his protector, the mayor of Leipzig, Carl Goerdeler, fell from power in 1937. Hofmann passed away in Leipzig in 1952, without having regained his former importance, although his ideas retained a strong following until the 1960s. A critical evaluation of his life's work reveals that his interpretation of education and cultural enrichment was not particularly original and was deeply rooted in nineteenth-century thinking. Hofmann was an ambivalent figure who liked to behave as a reformer but who was in fact, ultimately, a 'conservative revolutionary'. A version of this paper was first presented at the Fourth Anglo-German Library History Conference, held at the British Library, September 2005. The theme of the conference was 'Libraries and Innovation'.","PeriodicalId":81856,"journal":{"name":"Library history","volume":"23 1","pages":"63 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/174581607x177493","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65565537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His work provides a detailed insight into the difficult circumstances in which these libraries existed in Denmark during the period in question and in doing so tackles a subject new to most Danes. The reviewer’s own education focussed exclusively on a Protestant reading of Danish history, and Clausen’s work is a timely reminder that a parallel Catholic history of both Danish libraries and Danish culture exists.","PeriodicalId":81856,"journal":{"name":"Library history","volume":"30 1","pages":"77 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/174581607X177501","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65565371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
