New World Writing, a magazine founded by New American Library in 1952, quickly became an important vehicle for liberal intellectual
and literary thought. In addition to providing an outlet for new writing, the magazine became an important acquisitions tool
for NAL. Throughout its lifetime, New World Writing remained a showcase for many of the finest writers of the 1950s, including
Christopher Isherwood, Louis Auchincloss, Tennessee Williams, Flannery O’Connor, Jack Kerouac, and Gore Vidal.

The Library of America is a nonprofit publishing company whose mission is to renew and preserve the literary heritage of the
United States. To accomplish this, the Library publishes the best American writing of the past. As part of the historic preservation
movement, the Library attempts to make permanently available, at moderate cost, those books that have remained crucial to
the formation of American culture.

Nonfiction for young adults is enjoying a rebirth of interest among publishers, librarians, and teachers with the emergence
of an approach that uses facts as information to be shared with children trying to make sense of their world. Reading interest
studies disclose patterns in young readers' preferences in nonfiction. Suggestions are offered to encourage the reading of
nonfiction, to help teachers use these books effectively in classroom discussion, and to help select nonfiction for reading
aloud.

Those who have viewed the Times Mirror acquisition of New American Library through the lens of Victor Weybright’s memoirs
have seen a picture of corporate interference in editorial decision making. By studying the correspondence and memoranda exchanged
at the time, Thomas Bonn has uncovered different causes for dissatisfaction on Weybright’s part, and new insight into the
managerial problems that occur when a large corporation acquires an independent publisher.
Thomas L. Bonn is a librarian at the State University of New York at Cortland. HisHeavy Traffic and High Culture: The New American Library as Literary Gatekeeper was published in July by Southern Illinois University Press. 相似文献

Daniel Shealy 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1987,3(1):63-74
Louisa May Alcott was one of the most popular authors of the nineteenth century. However, Alcott’s literary career would not
have been so successful without the help and advice of various publishers and editors, such as W.W. Clapp, Frank Leslie, James
Redpath, James Elliott, A.K. Loring, and most notably Thomas Niles of Roberts Brothers. All of these publishers or editors
helped Alcott to develop from a writer of lurid, sensational tales to the accomplished professional author of American classics.
In the nineteenth century, it was more than often the publisher who exerted great influence over the nature of a literary
work, from its subject matter to its marketing. This article focuses on Alcott’s relationships with her many publishers and
shows how they helped Alcott develop her own style and subjects into a rewarding career as a writer.
Daniel Shealy, visiting assistant professor at Clemson University, is co-editor ofThe Selected Letters of Louisa May Alcott, scheduled for publication by Little, Brown in August 1987. 相似文献

Today it would be hard to imagine the publishing world without literary agents. But agents are relative newcomers. The first
arrived on the British literary scene some time in the late 1870s; A. P. Watt is generally regarded as the first true agent.
It was Watt who defined the role and function of the agent and established a standard of conduct by which his contemporaries
and successors were measured. Watt’s activities had great impact on the business of publishing and on the types of literature
writers produced. In fact, the agent was one of the main factors in the radical transformation of the publishing world that
occurred at the end of the nineteenth century. This article looks at Watt’s legacy: it focuses on both the publishing world
and the institution of the literary agency. It suggests that Watt was a dominant force in both and that, without him, literary
agency might not have prospered so well or so quickly.
She studied at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and received her D.Phil. in 1988. She is working on a book about the British literary
agent. 相似文献

In 2003, library records from over a century ago were discovered in the attic of the Muncie Public Library. This finding led to a multi-year collaboration between the Muncie Public Library, the Center for Middletown Studies, and the University Libraries at Ball State University to create the What Middletown Read database, http://bsu.edu/libraries/wmr/index.php. This article describes the collaboration between various groups, focusing especially on the role of the Cataloging and Metadata Services unit at University Libraries in the project, and ends with lessons learned and recommendations for cataloging units. 相似文献

The Single European Market heralds the biggest and most exciting change in English-language publishing since the Anglo-American

as export manager, director, and sales director. He has been a member of the Publishers Association Council since 1976 (and
was its President from 1983 to 1985). He is a Director of Book Tokens Ltd, Chairman of the British Council Publishers Advisory
Committee, and a member of the Executive Committee of the International Publishers Association. He is a former member of the

Publishers may reasonably expect international copyright treaties to (1) assurerecognition of publishers' contributions to literary works, (2) provide legal and politicalsecurity in the preservation of exclusive rights, (3) maintainpredictability in the contours of international commercial life, (4) establish standards ofenforcement, (5) beadaptable to rapidly changing technologies, and (6) conveydirection so that the copyright monopoly serves rather than subverts the values of free expression.

ABSTRACT Although literary warrant and use of current terminology are principles which have guided the creation of Library of Congress Subject Headings for quite some time, for many years adequate headings were not established to provide access to several concepts in 20th century music. Some of the problem areas include electronic music, music theater, text-sound compositions and musical notation. The efforts of two working groups of the Music Library Association have resulted in improved access in many of these areas. Still, problems remain, some due to LC's policies and practices regarding musical styles. It may take other approaches, such as the use of a music thesaurus, to fully overcome the remaining issues. 相似文献

This article re-visits a scenario from 1987: a university president required a library director to reclassify some materials into a science classification. The author looks at the prominence of the Code of Ethics of the American Library Association in the general library literature and in classification and cataloging practice literature. The issue of censorship is also discussed. The author then reviews classification for Creationism and Intelligent design and some decision-making processes one could use when deciding on the professional ethics of such a request, concluding that in some cases the ethical action might indeed be to go ahead with the reclassification. 相似文献

The most extensive program is located in Brazil at the Universidad Federal Minas Gerais which has 16 faculty members and in 1976-79 had among them a British (American educated) and an American library educator.Several schools reported “type of library” courses or specialized bibliography courses which could provide an appropriate locus for basic biomedical bibliographic information.Considering the health problems all countries are facing, library schools in Latin America should be encouraged to make a stronger effort to train individuals for this subject area. The American Association of Library Schools has been prominent in its support of co-operative efforts with Latin American educators as perhaps best exemplified by its Austin, Texas meeting in 1980 when the pre-conference entitled “Library and Information Science Education in the Americas: Present and Future” was held.However, Latin American educators themselves, encouraged by IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) are making efforts to continuously upgrade their teaching. Evidence of this can be found in IFLA’s pre-conferences at the August 1982 Montreal meeting. 相似文献
