Topic: Wiener Library


  
  Wiener Library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wiener Library is the world's oldest institution devoted to the study of the Holocaust, its causes and legacies.
The Library's most successful publishing venture was the production of a bi-monthly bulletin commencing in November 1946 (and which continued until 1983).Another important task during the 1950s and 1960s was the gathering of eyewitness accounts, a resource that was to become a unique and important part of the Library's collection.
The plans to move the library were abandoned in 1980 after the transports had already begun, resulting in a separate Wiener Library within the library of the University of Tel Aviv that consisted of the majority of the book stock, while the Wiener Library in London retained the microfilmed copies.

 UM-SI: Kellogg CRISTAL-ED Mail List
Library behavioral studies (of patron, peer and supervisory interaction, performance evaluation, work flow, ergonomics), when focused on institutional change, not on moribund issues of burnout, morale, status, and the like, are almost never done by qualified specialists who are librarians, nor is most research and development in digital librarianship, perhaps the most active current arena.
Since the paradigm shift that began some 30 years ago alienated libraries from their former humanistic basis and led them to theorize themselves as information agencies, most of us think of the library as a kind of technical tool that manages information that is increasingly freed from its well-known print format.
Library research that connects the institution with the academic milieu solves the problem that the paradigm shift has provoked: if the library is but a technical tool, one needs a set of tools to close the gap between the academia and the library.

THE "Wiener Library" serves as an important London link with the years of Hitler and with the new Germany emerging after the War.
It was founded in Amsterdam in 1934 by an enlightened German emigré scholar and businessman, Dr. Alfred Wiener, and, with its unique collection of pamphlets, press cuttings, books provided not only a centre for the study of National Socialism but also of the Weimar Republic.
