  Revisiting library heritage - promotion, mediation and democratisation

  Valorisation, médiation et démocratisation

  L’une des richesses des bibliothèques réside dans leurs collections patrimoniales. Mais du fait même de leur caractère précieux, inédit voire unique, ces collections restent encore souvent méconnues du grand public, tout en suscitant un réel intérêt et une curiosité scientifique, culturelle et artistique. Rendre le patrimoine accessible et attrayant peut donc être un facteur possible de démocratisation des savoirs, mais aussi un ciment social autour d’un héritage, local et national, commun. Repenser ce patrimoine et sa réception induit en outre une dynamique de la connaissance elle-même, en ajoutant une plus-value scientifique à la valeur intrinsèque de collections qui jusque-là pouvaient sembler endormies de ce long sommeil séculaire des choses oubliées. Le patrimoine des bibliothèques devenant de belles éveillées, comment opérer dans les bibliothèques cette métamorphose qui donne, régénère, renouvelle, modernise et valorise ?

  Openly about Open Access

  “Open Information Science” Journal

  The majority of academic papers on the topic of Open Access publishing are available only in fee for use journals. Thus, to make research about open access more widely available, Open Information Science is inviting research, review, and position papers for inclusion in a special issue about Open Access to be published during open access week in October 2018. Especially of interest are papers considering existing models of Open Access (platinum, gold, green, fair) and the controversies surrounding each of them. Works about the development of the Open Access movement and the usage and acceptance of works published openly, are welcome as well. All the submissions will be reviewed by an international panel of experts in the field.

  Health Literacy and Physical Literacy in Library Practice

  This special issue of Open Information Science seeks submissions related to the theme of "Health Literacy and Physical Literacy in Library Practice." We invite case studies focused on services and programs offered in particular libraries, as well as general analyses of how libraries support health and physical literacies.

We also invite submissions on challenges libraries confront, as well as philosophical and theoretical submissions on the place of health literacy or physical literacy within library practice. Finally, submissions focused on professional or continuing education programs focused on enabling library professionals to better support these literacies are invited. Submissions are invited on library practices in any type of library environment (i.e. academic, school, public). Submissions on public library practices are especially encouraged.

  Thinking Places: museum, library, theatre

  Is it possible, while maintaining the momentum of Pierre Nora’ studies on Sites of Memory (Les lieux de mémoire, 1984-87), or Christian Jacob’s current researches on Places of Knowledge (Lieux de savoirs, 2007-2011), to consider particular public places – museums, libraries, theatre, the list is endless – as sites dedicated to the process of thinking, as places where one thinks? To what extent, in which ways, and for what purpose might institutions and places strive for stimulating, elaborating, shaping a thinking process? What kind of institutional, architectural, or design devices would such a dedication to the thinking process involve? What professional or artistic issues, limitations, resources, would this impact?
