Full textAbstract:
Purpose Most academic libraries provide book recommendation services to enable readers to recommend books to the libraries. To facilitate decision-making in book acquisition, this study aimed to develop a method to determine the ranking of the recommended books based on the recommender network. Design/methodology/approach The recommender network was conducted to establish relationships among book recommenders and their similar readers by using circulation records. Furthermore, social computing techniques were used to evaluate the degree of representativeness of the recommenders and subsequently applied as a criterion to rank the recommended books. Empirical studies were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ranking system. The Spearman’s correlation coefficients between the proposed ranking system and the ranking obtained using reader circulation statistics were used as performance measure. Findings The ranking calculated using the proposed ranking mechanism was highly and moderately correlated to the ranking obtained using reader circulation statistics. The ranking of recommended books by the librarians was moderately and poorly correlated to the ranking calculated using reader circulation statistics. Practical implications The book recommender can be used to improve the accuracy of book recommendations. Originality/value This study is the first that considers the recommender network on library book acquisition. The results also show that the proposed ranking mechanism can facilitate effective book-acquisition decisions in libraries.

Full textAbstract:
There are known gender differences in book preferences in terms of both genre and author gender but their extent and causes are not well understood. It is unclear whether reader preferences for author genders occur within any or all genres and whether readers evaluate books differently based on author genders within specific genres. This article exploits a major source of informal book reviews, the Goodreads.com website, to assess the influence of reader and author genders on book evaluations within genres. It uses a quantitative analysis of 201,560 books and their reviews, focusing on the top 50 user-specified genres. The results show strong gender differences in the ratings given by reviewers to books within genres, such as female reviewers rating contemporary romance more highly, with males preferring short stories. For most common book genres, reviewers give higher ratings to books authored by their own gender, confirming that gender bias is not confined to the literary elite. The main exception is the comic book, for which male reviewers prefer female authors, despite their scarcity. A word frequency analysis suggested that authors wrote, and reviewers valued, gendered aspects of books within a genre. For example, relationships and romance were disproportionately mentioned by women in mystery and fantasy novels. These results show that, perhaps for the first time, it is possible to get large-scale evidence about the reception of books by typical readers, if they post reviews online.

 Starting from the premise that the book is a world in itself, which sometimes invades reality, that the “reality” of the city is “literaturized” in the sense given to it by Bertrand Westphal, and so the city is a book, we present a technology intended to complement electronic reading with contextual information. Automatic language processes working on the original text adorn it with electronic artefacts that highlight mentions of entities and relations between them, thus revealing semantic links within the text and outside it, towards web pages and maps, or helping readers initiate and access communities of people preoccupied with sharing readings. The first instantiation of the “Mapping Books” system allows the reader using a tablet or another mobile device to navigate outside the book, pertaining to the geographical entities that the book contains. “Mapping Books” pushes the interactivity with the book content well beyond the usual hypertext links: a mapped book can contextualise instantaneous positions of the user while reading, as well as her/his personality and cultural preferences. Although rooted in a given, constant text, once associated with a specific reader, the book is personalised to enhance reading satisfaction and maximise guiding. The actual effects of such a technology remain to be studied.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the Amazon Kindle e-books, readers are automatically directed to a linked e-dictionary which enables the reader to obtain the meaning of the word without having to leave the book being read - the first three lines of the dictionary article are presented to the reader on the same screen as the open book. If this information is not sufficient to enable the reader to obtain the correct information to satisfy his/her information need, (s)he can follow a link to the full dictionary article. This is an excellent feature to help readers obtain relevant information in a text reception situation. It works perfectly in most cases. However, unfortunately there are many cases where the reader is not presented with relevant information or even presented with incorrect information, based on incorrect part of speech identification, linking to the incorrect lemma or a number of other categories of incorrect linking which are discussed in the article. Following a categorisation of such problems, we provide a number of suggestions for possible solutions to the problem. The solutions include the provision of tagged corpora, on-the-fly tagging, a menu of items to enable the reader to disambiguate between various options, etc. Each of these options is discussed in terms of what the option entails, technical issues involved in the specific option and the feasibility of the option. The article concludes that not one option will necessarily resolve all problems and that a multi-pronged approach may be necessary to optimise the automated linking of words in the Kindle e-books to the e-dictionaries that are provided.

Emerging reader books (call them early or easy, that’s a discussion for another article) have come into their own since the Geisel Award was first presented in 2006 and the success of series like Mo Willems’ Elephant and Piggie.But learning to read independently is a daunting challenge—quality books are just one of the tools librarians across the country are employing to help children master this critical milestone and develop a lifelong love of reading. What are libraries doing, beyond the book, to help?

The article analyzed the works of scientists (Avtomonova P. P., Boyko Y. V., and Zaichenko I. V., Zenkin A. S., Karandasheva V. N., Kirdyaeva V. M., Kuzmenko N. M., Lasch A P., Lvov I. P., Pylhaeva F. P,. Pogrebna Ya. A., Czerniawska A. P.), who developed methods of optimal study book, textbook and other paper media. Types of independent work with the coursebook, additional materials are necessary to have when studying or reading books and other manuals. Selected types of readers (based on lectures “Students' independent work with the book” by I. P. Lvov), the preferences of readers on the nature of the literature and recommendations for its choice. It is substantiated that, according to I. P. Lvov, the book plays an important role in the development of thinking and speech culture of students. The Ukrainian teacher singled out four groups of students. Representatives of the first group are only interested in the reading process. To the second group of readers I. P. Lvov included people who like to read adventure literature and detective stories. The third group consisted of readers who are interested in serious, scientific literature, new books of modern bookstores. To the fourth type of readers, the scientist referred those who seek knowledge and therefore makes serious demands on the book. It is proved that the Ukrainian teacher emphasized that the effectiveness of reading books is possible if the reader has a system of knowledge in a particular field, has the skills of good orientation in the text with the selection of basic principles and ideas. The result of mental work should be clearly designed in the form of writing or speaking, and the effectiveness of the process of working with the book depends not only on speed but also on the method of reading.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay, I reflect on the empirical and subjective foundations of critical readings of poetry. I use my own experience, not because it is more valid than anyone else's but because I have direct access to it. The first section, “The Used-Book-Store Approach,” addresses the formation of poetic canons and the position of the reader as an agent and a consumer. The second section, “The Subway Approach,” gives an example of close reading in a setting where the world within the poem, the world within the reader, and the world outside the reader lose their borders. The third section, “The Rare-Book-Room Approach,” examines the impulse to seek the real thing that poetry can trigger and proposes that the first critical step for the reader consists in assessing the status of the poem as his or her object.

In MasterClass in Mathematics Education: International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning, editors Paul Andrews and Tim Rowland introduce research in mathematics education in the tradition of a Master Class. Each of the 17 chapters is organized around a set of core readings (four such readings for all but one chapter). Authors were asked “to include some commentary and/or exposition of the readings, and to set them in the broader context of ideas and methods to which they belong” (p. xiv). Each team of authors is actively engaged in research related to the topic of their chapter. This familiarity gives the reader a sense of having an “insider's view” into the topics as well as an appreciation of the perspective (among many possibilities) that the chapter imparts with regard to the given topic. Throughout this review, we refer to the intended audience for this book–a novice to mathematics education research–as “the reader,” and to one who might assign or recommend the book to such a reader as “the mentor.” The two main purposes of this review are (a) to aid the mentor in deciding how to use this book with the reader and (b) to aid the reader as they use the book and are introduced to research in mathematics education. Thus, we hope the mentor will consider assigning this review as introductory reading. We have organized the review into three main sections. The first contains brief summaries of each of the 17 chapters, the second a critique of how well the book fulfills its primary purposes (as outlined in its preface), and the third our overall recommendations for use of the book.

This edition retained the book structure of the first edition with emphasis in critical care and also it offers review the updated guideline recommendation. A review gives the reader not only summary of the content but also a critical assesment about the content. Additionally, this book gives the reader content about a brief review of a basic ethical framework. The concern is not only about science but also about prehospital care, critical care, outcome, ethical issue, prevention and sosioeconomic.

Full textAbstract:
Back in 2013, Rob Witcher, in his first NBC, mused on the future of academic publishing, and especially the potential impact of open access and e-books on traditional book reviews. Reading these lines five years later as incoming Reviews Editor, it is striking how little an impression e-books in particular have made on the market, and more generally how persistent print editions of both journals (includingAntiquity) and books have remained in the face of rapidly changing digital technologies. Sales of major e-reader brands have declined since their height in 2014, at least in the UK, and e-book sales have stabilised since then at around 25 per cent of all book purchases. AtAntiquity, we still receive upwards of 300 books per year, and send out over 120 to review across the six issues. NBC is an attempt to provide some critical perspective on a selection of the remaining books, many of which merit reviews in their own right but cannot be included for reasons of space. This section will continue in much the same manner as in the past, safe in the knowledge that, as Groucho Marx put it, ‘Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend . . .’ (the second half of the quotation is less relevant here but perhaps worth including—‘. . . inside of a dog, it's too dark to read’).

До сих пор на русском языке не было ни одного специального пособия по неканоническим книгам Ветхого Завета, поэтому появление рецензируемого учебника нельзя не приветствовать. Тем более, что написано оно признанным специалистом своего дела, доцентом кафедры библеистики СПбДА Дмитрием Георгиевичем Добыкиным, из-под пера которого вышел уже не один добротный учебник по православной библеистике. Пособие имеет грамотную и хорошо продуманную структуру. Первая часть посвящена рассмотрению Второй книги Ездры, книг Товита, Юдифи, Премудрости Соломона, Премудрости Иисуса, сына Сирахова, Послания Иеремии, Книги пророка Варуха, трёх книг Маккавейских и Третьей книги Ездры. Каждая книга рассматривается по следующему общему плану: 1. Содержание и богословие. 2. Авторство. 3. Время и место написания. 4. Язык оригинала. 5. История текста и толкования. The book is a work of great interest to the readers of the Bible, and it is a work of great value for the reader, and for the readers of the Bible. The more so because it was written by an acknowledged specialist in his field, Associate Professor at the Department of Biblical Studies of St. Petersburg Academy of Education Dmitry Georgievich Dobykin, from whose pen came many good-quality textbooks on Orthodox biblical studies. The manual has a competent and well thought out structure. The first part is dedicated to the Second Book of Ezra, the books of Tobit, Judith, the Wisdom of Solomon, the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach, the Epistle of Jeremiah, the Book of Baruch, the three books of Maccabees and the Third Book of Ezra. Each book is treated in the following general way: 1. Content and theology. 2. Authorship. 3. Time and place of writing. 4. The original language. 5. History of the text and interpretation.

The article is devoted to the history of Siberian regional children's book publishing. The author has collected theoretic-practical opinions of historians, bibliologists, publishers and booksellers, librarians and bibliographers, psychologists and sociologists, which purpose is to generalize and reveal regularities of books' flow for children. V. G. Belinsky, L. N. Tolstoy, F. G. Tol’, N. V. Chekhov developed the first concepts of children's book. N. K. Krupskaya, V. A. Sukhomlinsky studied the «core» of the children book repertoire. V. G. Sopikov, B. S. Bondarsky reviewed children's literature of the 19th century in their bibliographic works. The author allocated some organizational components using formal-logical, comparative-historical and structural-typological methods. The first block is related to studying such definitions as «children's book», «children's literature», «editions for children», «a circle of childhood reading», «the repertoire of children's books», their typological signs. The presented concepts are investigated according to tasks, which children's editions solve. S. G. Antonova and S. A. Karaichentseva touched issues of children's literature typology in their publications. The second block of literature reveals the children's book development in Russia in various periods of its formation. I. E. Barenbaum, A. A. Grechikhin, A. A. Belovitskaya studied general fundamentals of the book's history, while A. Ivich, L. Kohn, I. Lupanova considered the history of children’s books. The third block is devoted to printing and art features of the children's book design, activity of universal and specialized publishing houses to distribute literature for children. The fourth block explains such category as «reader - library», considers techniques of work with children's book, offers methodical recommendations for teachers and tutors. Readers’ activity is examined as well. The author analyzes interests, factors, incentives and aims influencing childhood reading. Dissertation researches disclose the regional specifics of children's book publishing in 1980-2013, confirm the considered subject relevance. The historical, comparative, formal and logical analysis carried out by the author will be useful both the specialists in publishing and editorial affairs, researchers studying the history and development of the children's book, historians, and teachers in the educational process of such courses as «Publishing and Editing», «Children's Literature», «Book Science». The author concludes that the children's book has been studied in different periods of its development in the context of numerous aspects, directions and components, which makes it possible to reveal the special patterns of its existence.

The three books reviewed in this essay all cross disciplinary boundaries. The first book illustrates, and argues for, the importance of history of technology and science for general history, for instance by looking at the linkages between technology transfer and agricultural reform in the late eighteenth century. The second book combines art history with history of technology: a painting is examined with a view to learning about networks among men of industry. The third book could be said to argue for the relevance of the private in the history of science by rendering theoretical innovation dependent upon resources gained outside public scientific life.I have been careful not to mention the most important commonality of these books first, because I am aware of the general disinterest which reigns about most peripheral places. The three books are all about Denmark and written in Danish. But they should not be placed in the drawer labelled ‘ethnographic oddity’. Quite apart from their relevance under the rubric of centre and periphery, each one has a historiographical point rendering them more generally relevant. They probe historiographical boundaries and provide incentives for thinking about historical resources that have not been tapped. It should also be mentioned that all three books are beautifully illustrated. Danish academic books are cushioned from the stringencies of the market through the existence of a variety of funds. The market of Danish readers is too small to sustain a market of its own and so the infrastructure for the support of books which will inevitably make a loss is substantial. By tapping into these resources, the authors have managed to make all three books more appealing than an anglophone reader has come to expect.

This paper describes a particular book called Souvenirs du monde des montagnes, which draws its iconography from the history of a Swiss mountain family from 1910 to 1930. By simply dipping into the first few pages, the reader will be lost between real and virtual universes, wonder about the evolution of the images' meanings, and question an object's true content. This setup, developed using state-of-the-art computer vision technology, offers unprecedented freedom: we can make technological references disappear to place the user in fruitful turmoil between visible and hidden meanings. The shadow of a bird flies over the pages, foxes' lanterns light up the text, paper mountains emerge. once the last page has been turned, the reader will never look at books in the same way again.

Full textAbstract:
Among the many great readers of Thomas More’s Utopia, Vasco de Quiroga (c. 1488–1565) appears to be most striking, even if we don’t know when or where he read the book. The Spaniard arrived in Mexico in 1530, a few years after Hernán Cortés, sent by Emperor Charles V with full judicial powers in a land devastated by the chaos, brutality, and greed of the conquest, the native people mercilessly abused and enslaved. Almost right away, Quiroga started to give his time, talent, and treasure to create what he called a new “policy” (policía) to protect the ‘indians” from the cruelty of the conquerors. He built refuges (pueblos hospitales), islands of hospitality which he also designed for all the lands and peoples in the New World, as the best way to secure peace, protect and evangelize the populations. He would describe the “pueblos” with words and ideas from his own reading of Utopia, and More was to him a brilliant Englishman inspired by the Holy Spirit both to learn from the native people and to build a new and better Christian civilization in the new land. When Quiroga became bishop of Michoacán in 1536, he must have felt the first real bishop of More’s Utopia. This paper intends to show that this qualifies him as the Utopia’s best reader.

Abstract This article explores the connections between Nietzsche’s Also Sprach Zarathustra and Tove Jansson and the world of the Moomins. It begins with a short summary of the impact of Nietzsche in the Nordic countries and of his most important book, focusing on passages that are of particular relevance for the analyses that follow. It then proceeds to explore its meaning and significance for Jansson in three sections. The first concerns Atos Wirtanen, the writer and politician with whom she lived for ten years, and who encouraged her to publish her first book, while he himself was completing a book on Nietzsche. In the second section, the article analyzes an early semi-autobiographical literary experiment from the Jansson family archive that displays her as a passionate reader of Nietzsche long before her meeting with Wirtanen. In the third and last section, the framework of the Zarathustra narrative is used to interpret some of the figures and scenes from the Moomin books.

Full textAbstract:
The research deals with creating a diverse reader image of an intellectual personality of a historian. V.K. Yakunin started his reading career as a student of Dnipropetrovsk State University in the 1960’s. During his studies he constantly visited the scientific library. It was at this time when he first became acquainted with rare and valuable editions on historical subjects. The reading experience of the historian is about 60 years. While writing his Candidate dissertation (1972) and PhD thesis (1990), he worked with a significant number of sources and literature, and he also used interlibrary loan services. He was a high-level bibliographer, he constantly searched and selected carefully new books of political and historical content. V.K.Yakunin began to collect his own library from the late 1960s. The analysis of his reader cards from the departments of scientific literature and fiction shows that scientist V.K. Yakunin paid primary attention to documents, book sources and periodicals. He perfectly knew the works of foreign historical science classics. He was interested in memoir literature. Psychological and art literature was not ignored by the scientist. The historian always turned to classical works and editions of contemporary Ukrainian writers. V. K. Yakunin’s private library totals about 2000 copies in Ukrainian, Russian and German. It has been stored in the Scientific Library since 2017. Each copy of the professor’s book collection received the stamp «Professor V.K. Yakunin’s Library». The chronological limits of the book collection cover the 20th – the beginning of the 21st century. Most publications are books of social and humanitarian directions. He was interested in the history of the 20th century: political history, public opinion, World War II, history of Nazism, the Ukrainian national movement. Memories held a special place in the book collection. Ways of acquisition to the Library: donations and purchasing. The historian was surrounded by books during his life. Thus, the value of the book collection of Professor V.K. Yakunin is in the presence of a large number of publications that give an idea of the state of book publishing in Ukraine and Russia and indicate the high intellectual level of its owner.

English children story book is written aimed at boosting their English reader’ proficiency as well as their performance in reading. This study is conducted to analyze the conversational implicature recognized in children story book. The object of the study is the story entitled Rumpelstiltskin published by Indian publisher. This study is conducted aimed at finding kinds of conversational implicature recognized in the Young Learner’s story book.
 Children story book written in English is published to help them learn English. English in Indonesia is as the first foreign language learnt while other countries within Asian continent have English as their second language. TEFL in Indonesia needs more time to make Indonesian students accustomed to use English in their daily conversation.
 Book is written in many genres and one of it is narrative. Narrative text type is commonly found in the story therefore the author used their imagination in order to help the readers build their own imagination. Building imagination is part of the activity to help children to be creative. The children are still on their growing period therefore they need many stimulus to help them gain more information stored in their brain.
 India is one of Asian’s country which English as their second language therefore Indian people speak English better than Indonesian. Though Indian as a country is similar to Indonesia in terms of population but they are more productive in using English. Indonesian people should learn from Indian people in using English since English language is used formally at public places including school. Indian authors are also more productive in writing and one of the writing that I analyze in this study is the children’s story belongs to Young Learner’s series. I chose Indian book because I believe that children’s reader will learn and understand English language easily.

Full textAbstract:
Couched in moral language and endeavoring to preempt possible shifts inforeign policy attitudes, this six-part book attempts to subtly and indirectlyweave Israeli interests into American policy and upcoming decision-makingprocesses. Essentially, it repackages Israel’s “security for peace” formulawith the language of security (read “order”) and democracy (read “justice/law”) and stresses the former’s priority over the latter – security being Israel’sparamount claim. In so doing, Etzioni seeks to limit references to Israel togive the reader the impression that he is dealing with issues over and beyond– a form of reorienting the reader’s attention through focal deception while“playing the same tune – on a different instrument” (p. xii).The book’s main thesis is that there are “principled” and “pragmatic”reasons forWashington to transform its foreign policy approach from prioritizingthe spread of democracy to security (p. xi), for democracy must followthe establishment of “basic security” (p. xi) as the supreme human good.Doing things differently simply reflects the “Multiple Realism DeficiencyDisorder” from which American foreign policy suffers (p. xiv), namely, apsychological state that deals with matters as Americans would like them tobe rather than as they are (p. xv) ...

Full textAbstract:
This brief volume is a contribution to the Oxford introductions to language study series, a set of nontechnical guides to various aspects of the study of language, intended for the general reader with no formal background in linguistics. This book, like the others in the series, is not intended to be a systematic introduction to its subject but rather is designed to give readers a general sense of historical linguistics and to steer them in the direction of further readings. The book is divided into four parts. The first and largest part comprises eight brief essays that treat: (a) the fact that languages evolve over time and attitudes toward them change, (b) data and evidence for reconstructing linguistic history, (c) lexical change, (d) grammatical change, (e) phonological change, (f) language contact, (g) explanations for language change, and (h) recent developments in historical linguistics. The remaining parts of the book contain brief excerpts from readings, further readings, bibliographic references, and a glossary.

This review focuses on Why Trust Science? by Naomi Oreskes. It examines the book as far as its structure and, most importantly, argumentation is concerned. Much as the first one is worthy of attention, the latter one entails doubts. While the book is undoubtedly worth reading due to the topic it addresses—trust in science—the reader is advised to approach its argumentation with wariness.

Full textAbstract:
In Poland, the idea of educating library personnel at university level has its roots already during the times of the Commission of National Education in the second half of the eighteenth century. The Grycz couple themselves belonged to the generation, which due to lack of such studies, had no degrees in library science, but in other fields of knowledge. Nevertheless, the issue of educating and training librarians to work with the reader and the book was one of their chief concerns. In their eyes the library was the ideal meeting point of the reader with the book, and the librarian – methodically prepared for the job – an ideal middle person. Alodia Kawecka-Gryczowa gained her first personal experience in training librarians in 1945. Józef Grycz among other delivered lectures at librarian courses organized in the Kórnik Library in 1945, and in the Jagiellonian Library in 1948. But his chief contribution in this field, showing to the full his pedagogical concepts with relation to librarian training, came through editing books, writing articles for journals devoted to library science, and writing textbooks and manuals aimed at educating candidates for the library profession.

Full textAbstract:
Cognitive stylistics offers a range of frameworks for understanding (amongst other things) what producers of literary texts ‘do’ with language and how they ‘do’ it. Less prevalent, however, is an understanding of the ways in which these same frameworks offer insights into what readers ‘do’ (and how they ‘do’ it). Text World Theory (Werth, 1999; Gavins, 2007; Whiteley, 2011) has proved useful for understanding how and why readers construct mental representations engendered by the act of reading. However, research on readers’ responses to literature has largely focused on an ‘idealised’ reader or an ‘experimental’ subject-reader often derived from within the academy and conducted using contrived or amended literary fiction. Moreover, the format of traditional book groups (participants read texts privately and discuss them at a later date) as well as online community forums such as Goodreads, means that such studies derive data from post-hoc, rather than real-time textual encounters and discussions. The current study is the first of its kind in analysing real-time reading contexts with real readers during a researcher-led literary project (‘read.live.learn’) in Northern Ireland’s only female prison. In doing so, the study is unique in addressing experimental and post hoc bias. Using Text World Theory, the paper considers the personal and social impact of reader engagement in the talk of the participants. As such, it has three interrelated aims: to argue for the social and personal benefits of reading stylistically rich literature in real-time reading groups; to demonstrate the efficacy of stylistics for understanding how those benefits come about, and to demonstrate the inter-disciplinary value of stylistics, particularly its potential for traversing traditional research parameters.

Full textAbstract:
The refrain that reappears throughout Leveraging Wikipedia is that Wikipedia and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) are natural allies and a fair amount of text is dedicated to convincing the reader of this. It promises practical strategies for putting this alliance to work and ultimately delivers on that promise, if in a circuitous and somewhat repetitive way. After the first few chapters it becomes clear that there are only so many established ways for library professionals to harness the audience and infrastructure of Wikipedia for the benefit of their library. The authors offer a wide array of examples for how they tailored these tried and true methods for the specific niche of their work. The task of building on this existing foundation with innovative new partnerships between Wikipedia and libraries rests on the shoulders of the reader.

Full textAbstract:
This is the only undisputed fragment of Nero's poetry which is longer than a single line. It is preserved for us by the scholiast on Lucan 3.261, who gives us the additional piece of information that it belongs to Nero's ‘first book’. It is overwhelmingly likely that this refers to the first book of Nero‘s epic Troica, his most famous work and the only one, as far as we know, to have been comprised of several books.1 Since the fragment is the most significant surviving, but this attribution to the Troica cannot be quite certain, Morel and Büchner list it as fragment 1 with the simple heading ‘E libro primo’ and scrupulously keep it entirely separate from Servius’ two testimonia (frr. 9 and 10) on the content of the poem. This entirely sensible procedure, however, may trap the unwary reader into assuming that not a word of Nero's epic actually survives.

Full textAbstract:
Interactive fiction and critical annotation are two very important activities in the field of philology teaching. The first activity aims to turn the reader into an ac-tive element in reading electronic books. For this, different gadgets and tech-niques are used that force the reader to have to make decisions in the reading process. With respect of the annotation, it is an activity that aims to enrich liter-ary texts with meta-information that allows explaining or extending the infor-mation that appears in the contents of a book. Both activities are fundamental in the training of philology students. In general, there are few specific electronic publishing tools for these activities, and those that exist have a professional ori-entation. In this article, two tools are described that have implemented the func-tionality necessary to carry out these activities but with an academic orientation. In this way, students can learn both activities in a friendly, intuitive environ-ment designed for education.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to interpretation a figure of explicit reader in Vladimir Korolenko’s “Story of my Contemporary” (chapter “My first Acquaintance with Dickens”). Short story moderated the trajectory of reading at distinguishing between narrative and perception modes. Representing the world of the Zhytomyr province, the writer shows reading as a specific activity that is part of the daily routine for inhabitants. The story of reading a little hero – from the “colorful” and “spicy” reading adventurous and detective novels to meaningful reading of Dickens’ book – demonstrates specific changes in the psychology of the little hero (from Oliver Twist to David Copperfield). A specific feature of this text is the reflection of the young reader on everything what is happening in the book in particular and on the nature of one’s own reading in general. At the beginning of the story, the main feature of the reading of the hero is noted, his abruptness, episodic, covering only the surface of the plot. Central motive of the struggle of two brothers, having as a biographical and mythopoetic sense. That is closely connected with a qualitative transformation Reader becoming a Writer. In addition, the older brother was an authority for the youngest, including in reading, therefore, in addition to the “episodicity” of reading, it was also secondary and in his perception of certain works the young the reader relied on the experience of his older brother, who does not mark the image of the ideal the reader, dividing everything into so-called κῶμος and τράγεος. Despite the fact that the main character is experiencing the text of Dickens as Revelation, experience reading his novel practically did not differ from previous reading experience. So the novel was without a name, also remained an unread hero and was not even understood by him until the end. And it is the figure of the elder brother-authority that changes the main trajectory “Anonymity” of children's reading, the first time calling the last name of the writer Dickens. In conclusion hypothesis about the specific metatext character of the fragment under consideration is presented. That allows to consider it as an auto-commentary on other works of the author, in particular, his story “In a Bad Society”.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSelf help approaches are increasingly being used in healthcare settings through over 100 book prescription schemes in the UK. The use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) self-help materials for depression is advocated as part of stepped care service models. This study assesses how the reading ages of the most recommended self-help books for depression compare to British literacy levels. A cross sectional survey was carried out. The most recommended self-help books for depression were identified; seven CBT based self-help books were included in this study as well as a widely used booklet for depression. Readability scores and reading ages were calculated for a randomly generated selection representing 15% of each selected book using the Readability Studio® software to generate a wide range of key readability and comprehension scores. The reading ages of the selected books were between 12.6 and 15.4. Reading ease varied amongst the texts, and their complexity (percentage of unfamiliar words, range: 14.8% – 22.6%). A significant proportion of the UK population would struggle to use some of the current CBT-based self-help books recommended. For some patient groups, non text based self-help materials as well as shorter and more easily read written materials may be more appropriate. To our knowledge, this is the first study to address this question. Publication of the reading ages of the recommended books within the book prescription schemes may allow for a more accurate match between the book and the reader.

The book market in Slovakia is very rich and diverse; it presents works of various genres and themes, aimed at readers with a variety of tastes. The article discusses approaches to the evaluation of literary products, on the one hand, from the point of view of the reading public, and, on the other hand, the members of the juries of a number of literary prizes awarded annually in the country. The largest Slovak publishing houses and bookstores conduct monitoring, constantly updating their data on the best-selling books. Among the bestsellers are, as a rule, works of popular genres, including detective stories, women’s novels, political thrillers, novels with elements of mysticism. Other criteria are put forward by the jury of prestigious literary competitions, first of all, the Anasoft Litera Award for the best original prose literary work in the Slovak language. In more detail, the article discusses the books of the winners in the recent years. These are Ondrej Štefánik (the novel “I am Paula”, 2016), Ivan Medeši (the collection of short stories “Eating”, 2018), Jana Sabuchová (the novel “Whisperers”, 2019). Etela Farkašová’s novel “The Script” (2017), due to its high artistic merits and humanistic orientation, was a great success with both critics and readers.

Full textAbstract:
In the twenty-first century, the age-old dream of a universal library seems within reach at last, due to an expanding digital environment. But in fact, the publishing and reading practices we associate with Web 2.0 have some very old precedents. One such practice is Grangerization, a bibliophile hobby that originated in the late eighteenth century. In this period, and throughout the nineteenth century, private collectors inserted various forms of ephemera into their books: prints, letters, manuscripts, receipts, clippings. The books were usually rebound to accommodate the additional pages of tipped- and pasted-in material. The Grangerized or “extra-illustrated” book turned the linear text into a unique, multi-directional network of “links” to related texts, and recast the reader as the writer’s collaborator.

Purpose This paper aims to describe the inception and continuation of a collaborative effort between York College’s Common Reader program and the York College Library. The Common Reader program comprises academic and extracurricular activities designed to help achieve the goals of York College’s First Year Experience Program to assist in the successful transition, achievement and retention of first-year students at York College, The City University of New York. Design/methodology/approach The Common Reader Committee was initially comprising only of participating classroom faculty and Student Development staff. York College Library was invited to help with one of the extracurricular events. Subsequently, the collaboration was considered essential to the success of the Common Reader program. This paper describes the library’s role in supporting the initiative. Findings The library is an active member of York’s Common Reader Committee and is involved in the selection of the Common Reader book; publicity of the program; promotion of library resources and services; and the programming of extracurricular events. Involvement in these areas allows the library to collaboratively build a learning community, integrate information literacy skills into the curricula, nurture the practice of critical reading and help students feel connected in a new academic environment. Originality/value Many colleges have implemented common reading programs, and, in many cases, libraries have been involved in the program in some shape or form. However, at York College, there is a strategic partnership between the library and the Common Reader program. Such a partnership has made it possible for the library to be deeply involved in helping students transition to college life.

Experts on Utopia agree with Erasmus: Book One was written after More’s return to London, and for the purpose of clarifying the delineation of Utopia, which thus becomes Book Two. A notable inclusion is that of the city of the Polylerites, which contrasts with England by a penal system excluding capital punishment for theft. The author suggests that this example, which on first glance appears a promising alternative social policy, is actually not so beneficent after all. In this way, More, armed with irony, mixes praise and satire to invite the reader, and the legislator, to read more vigilantly.

Full textAbstract:
An alphabetic acrostic lament Laments date back to the start of mankind and are known among all peoples, languages and nations. Laments are often spontaneous and unstructured, but sometimes they are structured in poetic form. The biblical book of Lamentations is structured according to the alphabet. The alphabetic framework that forms the foundation of the book indicates that it has a cognitive advancement/build up, and consists of a logically-anticipated inception/beginning and conclusion. It starts with the first letter of the alphabet and concludes with the last. According to Jewish rabbis the alphabetic acrostic structure indicates that the lamentation was completed in full – from start to finish. With the constant development of Afrikaans a need exists for a contemporary Afrikaans Bible translation. This article is an attempt to present the book of Lamentations in a contemporary alphabetic acrostic Afrikaans translation. The message and structure of the book form a cognitive unit that must be preserved as much as possible. A cognitive unit indicates that the reader anticipates the logical build-up and it makes sense to him/her. The acrostic structure is considered to be not only an inherent part of the poem itself, but it could also be insightful and illuminative to the reader.

Refugees in our Own Land narrates the author’s life between October andDecember 2000, when she was married and living in the West Bank’sDheisheh refugee camp. The book creates a new respect for the refugeesamong whom she lived and gives the reader a glimpse of the incredible difficultiesof their everyday lives.The book is divided into two parts. The first part chronicles Hamzeh’slife during October 4-December 4, 2000: her personal life and that of herfriends in Dheisheh, as well as current political events and how they affectthe life of the refugees in the camp. These almost daily entries were actuallye-mailed to a large number of people while she was still living inDheisheh. The second half of the book is a series of short unrelated storiesand articles, written between 1988 and March 2000, that highlight eventsthat brought her to Dheisheh and explain other events and people in her life.Their order is a bit odd. After the reader gets used to Hamzeh’s life in thecamp, she abruptly ends her entries by describing how she left the camp andthen, just when the reader wants to know what happened next, she startsrelating the events that transpired 2 years ago prior to her journey to theWest Bank. There is no mention of a husband there, and then all of a suddenshe goes from living in the United States to ending up in Dheisheh.How she got there, unfortunately, is never explained. The lack of detailsconcerning such important transitions is quite frustrating. Although shemay have considered them “too personal” to include, it resulted in frustrationon the reader’s part.One success, however, is her exposure of the humanity of people whoso often are dismissed by the world as “refugees.” She mentions their namesand describes their faces and personalities, thereby giving the reader an ...

Sefer miẓvot gadol(Semag) by the French Tosefist R. Moses of Coucy was a most influential halakhic work in medieval times. Originally titledSefer ha-miẓvot(The Book of Commandments), it was written in northern France in the first half of the thirteenth century and in many ways reveals the influence of Maimonides'Mishneh Torah. Indeed, to understand R. Moses of Coucy's legal project properly, it is important to comprehend the availability ofMishneh Torahin Europe at the time. Whereas Maimonides completed hisMishneh Torahcirca 1180, the work seems not to have reached the study halls of the French Tosefists before 1200. In this article, I explain R. Moses' purpose and program in writing hisSefer ha-miẓvot, examine the format he chose, and clarify who his presumptive reader, or readers, may have been.
