    PORTALS TO THE PAST AND TO THE FUTURE JÜRGEN SEEFELDT The advent of the digital era has raised questions on the future course of library development.

Lavishly illustrated, PORTALS the book traces the history of libraries in Germany, portrays the various types of library and cites many examples of the TO THE PAST AND TO outstanding achievements of nationwide library cooperation in the Federal Republic of Germany. The reader will gain both a revealing insight into the cultural and educational THE FUTURE policy underlying the German library system and an outline of the profession. Special at- tention has been paid to current developments such as the preservation and presentation of the common cultural heritage and the emergence of the digital library. LIBRARIES This book has been translated not only into English but also into Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Turkish and is now the standard work on libraries and librarianship IN GERMANY in Germany.

    REGION BAS RHIN MOZART´S STAY On September 26 1778, Mozart left Paris and took the postal diligence to Strasbourg which led him to the Alsatian capital where he arrived on October 10 1778 at the post house of the Cour du Corbeau. He discovered a garrison town with a heterogeneous aspect and in which half-timbered houses were next to luxurious buildings in the 18th-century French style. The cultural atmosphere was intense. The Strasbourg University had a European influence that attracted students like Goethe or Metternich. The city excelled in arts, especially in vermeil silversmith’s trade, in stained-glass windows, Hannong china and crockery, the building of organs (with the Silbermann dynasty), furniture and panelling in rococo style, etc… An intellectual and cultural melting-pot, Strasbourg was the symbol of Europe of Enlightenment. On October 17, Mozart gave a piano recital at the Poêle du Miroir, in the room now called “Salle Mozart” or at the Mauresse. Prince Max de Deux-Ponts attended the concert. On October 24 and 31, Mozart gave a big concert with orchestra at the Comédie française which was burnt down in 1800. During his stay, Mozart also played in public on the Silbermann organs of the Temple Neuf church that was destroyed by a fire 1870 (rebuilt in 1874) and in Saint-Thomas, the church where the Marshal of Saxe rests. His tomb made by Pigalle, was unveiled in 1777. On Novembre 3, Mozart left Strasbourg and went to Mannheim. He brought with him a popular Alsatian tune which became the theme of the 3rd movement of his 4th concerto for violin and orchestra.

  • 20170511 American Academy in Berlin Research Support Website
    May 2017 RESEARCH SUPPORT The Academy’s library team provides a document-delivery service for residential fellows and Distinguished Visitors. Books and other media are normally delivered within two to three days, depending on the complexity of research and access to materials. Books not obtainable from Berlin libraries can be ordered via inter-library loan and will arrive within two to three weeks (express delivery within 72 hrs). To order a book or materials from external libraries, fellows fill out a book request online. The librarian will supply the link to this order form. The Academy also offers research support to fellows in their navigation of the Berlin library and archive landscape. The following pages offer information about Berlin’s non- lending libraries and archives. The Academy’s librarian can also answer research-facility questions and help prepare visits to archives. Yolande Korb Manager, Library Service Hans Arnhold Center Library & Archive American Academy in Berlin Phone: (030) 804 83-133 Email: [email protected] HOW TO SEARCH FOR MATERIALS 1. State Library (Staatsbibliothek – Stabi) The easiest and quickest way is the search via the StaBiKat, the online catalogue of the Staatsbibliothek (http://stabikat.de). Usually, Stabi books can be delivered within two days. We also have a special loan condition concerning books published before the 1950s and after 1850. We can borrow them, as long as they are not reference or rare books. In case the Stabi does not have the material you need, you will find the main catalogues and libraries listed below. Keep in mind that not all libraries have online catalogues that include all their holdings of books published before the 1990s (In these cases, I will check the old card-catalogues for you).

  • Strategic Priorities 2017–2020
    2017 2020 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES PREFACE When in 2014 the German National Library published its Strategic Priorities for 2013 to 2016, this was the first time since its founding that the library had set out in print its objectives and priorities for its further development over a defined four-year period, covering both sites and all departments. A total of five Strategic Priorities were highlighted, each consisting of four to six main objectives and related sub-objectives, including suggested time frames: this yielded a total of 24 main objectives and 98 sub-objectives, including six (new) sub-objectives, scheduled to run over a period of several years, resulting in a total of 104 sub-objectives. In the period from 2013 to 2016, 78% of the sub-objectives were met either in full or in part. Various reasons were identified in the cases in which the objectives were not met, the most frequent of which were inadequate human and financial resources, pre-conditions which were not met and changes in the overall framework since the objectives were formulated. Most of the objectives which were not met (either at all or in part) are still relevant, and so they have been included in modified form in the strategic considerations for the next cycle from 2017 to 2020. Building upon its experience with the Strategic Priorities 2013–2016 and the “German National Library 2025: Strategic Compass” framework document which was published in September 2016, the German National Library is now presenting its priorities for the period from 2017 to 2020. The “Compass” indicated the direction over the next ten years, thereby providing a longer term perspective, whereas the Strategic Priorities 2017–2020, much like a road map, reveal the medium-term objectives which the German National Library intends to use to achieve its long- term goals.
