Online Application, Ok To Call Back?

Is the change alters the semantic descriptor?

For some time now instead of library (school) said the school information center, instead of the library (public) use the term Infothek, instead of a librarian more often, the term infobroker, and even what has come to "Library Journal, 1/15/2007 No proposals that emerged in relation to the use of such librarians, for example, the concepts of hacker knowledge, information alchemist, bibliodominatrix, indagatrix.

I do not intend here, in the short form of the entry of blogging, discuss questions asked in the title and write much of their inquiry, because the thing seems clear. Only emphasize that no one had any doubt: the change of name (descriptor) in itself does not change the semantics here is understood as attributing specific object of reality (determined on the date of the librarian) new properties. Certainly the concept expressed in the sign language, indeed, these changes occur, each term means something else, is a collection of different features (the only relevant).

mind, however, about the importance of the concept, suggested by Wittgenstein (Wittgenstein, L. Philosophical Inquiries. New York: Univ. OWN, 2000, p. 34), boiling down to a claim that the meaning of the word is the way you use it in the language of then I wrote a little article for journal EBIB , we shall see it's just a matter of fact from library users, the readers depends largely on semantic change. The question is thus as follows: whether the library user actually coming to the library sees people working there in some new categories? Have you thought of them as wypożyczających book, or think of them as professionals from the information? For new appointments do not become the only label sticker to the well-established for years in activities (eg rent reading) a lot of work to be done professionally active librarians.

music libraries

reaction to the behavior of users P2P networks are a variety of lawsuits directed at them by the organizations Supervising the rights of music producers and film. There are also (practiced in our country) the morning raid on the apartment and confiscation of pirate equipment helpful in committing the theft of intellectual property. Thievery is mostly grown in the computer software, music and movie files are endangered as well as electronic books and audiobooks. Pirates of the computer begin to appear as one of the main threats to the film industry and phonographic. This same loss industry is experiencing appear to be very severe, since the U.S. took (takes?) process on a ruthless pirate. Advocates of the injured party came to the conclusion that it should try to lead to a situation in which just create MP3 files from legally purchased CD will be a transaction subject to the relevant paragraphs.

If, however, in countries with above-developed consumer culture there is quite a big concern for the functioning and development of libraries, in which audiovisual materials are treated with equal agendas "book, as in Poland, only a dozen libraries Public gathers a large-scale movies and music, while a few of them rent them out. This is of reflection, which increases when we compare wages in the United States or Canada, offered the average citizen Polish and count how many CDs of music can be purchased for daily wage Mr. Smith, Mr. and how much. Smith?

may also surprise no activity held in tax offices in the field of digitization of Polish classical music, whether folk, and thus not making it on the pages of Polish libraries. One of the few exceptions, namely the National Library, although zdygitalizowała his phonographic cylinders and discs recorded dygitalizuje acoustic method, but to hear the arias sung by Adam and Jan Kiepura Didur or folk music recorded by ethnographers in field studies, music lover is forced to reach into your pocket, go to the library in person, or try your luck on "youtube "or as a last resort check in P2P networks.

Finally, unless we ask the question whether the Native American music is better than the music of Polish highlanders? Let's see, therefore, the Library of Congress and the National Library and compare their contents.
