in-house circulation : Үүний цаана Монголд байдаг номын сандаа сууж ном унших гэдэг ойлголт хуучирсаныг харуулж байна.

Монголын Нийтийн номын сангууд Хэрэглэгчдээ номын сангийн уншлагын танхимд сууж ном уншина гэж тооцдог.
Гадаадын нийтийн номын сангууд Хэрэглэгчдээ номын сангаас ирж ном, СД-ээ Чөлөөт сонголттой танхимаас уншигч өөрөө сонгож аваад, гэрээр хураамж төлбөргүйгээр авч явж, уншина гэж тооцдог.

----------------------------------------
In-house Use (F6)

May be used to record in-house use for both cataloged and non-cataloged items.

Select Circulation → Record-In House Use

Cataloged items: Enter item barcode. When recording more than one use of an item, edit the number in the # of uses box.

Non-cataloged items: choose the appropriate item from the dropdown menu in the Barcode box and Submit.

The statistics on in-house use are separated from circulation statistics. In-house use count of cataloged items is not included in the items' total use count.

http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/circulatingitems.html
---------------------------------------


Ийм ч учраас Монголын нийтийн номын сангуудын Үйлчилгээний гол тоон үзүүлэлт болох Уншигдсан номын тоог заалаар олгогдож уншигдсан номын тоо тодорхойлдог байхад Гадаадад гэрээр олгогдож уншигдсан номын тоо тодорхойлж байна.

Манайд болон Гадаадад Нийтийн номын сангийн үйл ажиллагааны зардлыг Татвар төлөгчдийн мөнгөөр буюу Төсвөөс санхүүжүүлдэг боловч Монголд зааландаа унших нь төлбөргүй, гэрээр авч явж унших нь төлбөртэй учраас Хэрэглэгч нь аль болох уншлагын танхимдаа сууж үйлчлүүлэхийг хичээдэг. Гэтэл Гадаад оронд номыг 5-14 хоногоор гэрээр авч хэрэглэх нь төлбөргүй учраас Хэрэглэгчид маш их давуу тал олгож, номын сангийн дотоод ачааллыг багасгаж, үйлчилгээний таатай орчинг үүсгэж, ялангуяа Хэрэглэгчийн Унших/Мэдээлэл олж авах эрхийг эдлүүлдэгээрээ аргагүй л АРДЧИЛСАН байх юм даа.

Library Question - Answer [Question #6678571]

Hello Begzsuren

Question History:

Patron: Chat Transcript: Do you count your onsite reading?
Can you give me detail answer on it?

Librarian 1: Librarian '24/7 Librarian Diego' has joined the session.
Librarian 1: Hello Begzsuren, I'm Diego. I am helping out your librarians by answering questions for them right now. I'm reading what you wrote so I can help you...

Patron: Hi Diego

Librarian 1: Can you tell me a bit more about the information you're looking for?

Patron: My question can be a strange?
Patron: If borrower choose 5 titles from open stacks and read it onsite, then left books on table.
Patron: do you mean it is a circulation?

Librarian 1: Do you mean if it's recorded anywhere, for instance?

Patron: does your library statistic on circulation contain only home loan or with onsite reading?

Librarian 1: My screen tells me we may have lost our connection...
Librarian 1: could I please confirm you're still there?

Patron: I think, if I borrow library materials at home, it means check-out. If I return library materials to library, it means check-in. Is it correct?
Patron: so Do you have on site reading checkout and checkin?
Patron: Diego, I was a intern at your library in October, 2010 from Mongolia.
Patron: when I forget to ask this kind of strange question from your librarians.

Librarian 1: Begzsuren, I'm not at Enoch Pratt Library myself, but I'll forward your question so that a local librarian can look into this, and get back to you by email.

Patron: now I'm trying to ask what I need to know from your library service.

Librarian 1: Could I please confirm your email address as mcl_begee@yahoo.com?

Patron: http://lip-news.blogspot.com
Patron: I was an intern at Pratt Library and State Blind Library.
Patron: Do you count your onsite reading?

Librarian 1: Begzsuren, as I said, I'm not at Pratt Library myself. I'll forward your question so that a local librarian can get back to you about this by email. Could I please confirm your email address?

Patron: Diego, does your public library count it's onsite reading?

Librarian 1: It's clear you're not receiving my messages, so I'll close our session now. I hope you get to see the transcript later. You'll be contacted by email about your question as soon as possible.
Librarian 1: Thanks for using Maryland AskUsNow! If you have any further questions, please contact us again.
Librarian 1: Librarian ended chat session.


Librarian 3: The Enoch Pratt Free Library keeps track of what we call "in-house circulation." That is, items (books, magazines, and more) that customers use in the library but do not check out and take home. At the Central Library, we count the books that customers leave on tables, desks, or other places during specific weeks of the year. We then use the numbers from these sampling weeks to calculate a total for the whole year. In the neighborhood branches, we count the books customers use every day. We scan the book bar codes into the catalog, and seeing how much each book is used helps us decide what to order or discard in the future.

I hope this gives the answers you need. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Sincerely,

John Damond
Measurement Coordinator

Монголын номын сангийн хууль хэзээ батлагдах вэ

When will the Mongolian first Library Act come in real life?

Монгол улс Дэлхийн улсуудаас ганцаараа номын сангийн хуульгүй байж магад?

2010 оны 10-р сард МУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Ц.Элбэгдоржийн санаачлагаар Номын сангийн тухай хуулийг боловсруулах ажлын хэсэг байгуулагдан ажиллаж байсан. Одоо ямар шатандаа явж буйг хэн мэдэж байна вэ.
Номын сангийн ажиллагсад төдийгүй иргэн бүр энэ хуулийг боловсруулах ажилд ач холбогдол өгч, дэлхийн улсуудын номын сангийн хууль эрх зүйн түүхийг уншиж судлаж, Монголын үүсэн бий болсон одоогийн нөхцөл байдлыг хэрхэн шинэчлэн засах ёстойг ойлгож ухамсарлан, дуу хоолойгоо сонсгохгүй бол, ямар ч түүхий хууль гарч мэднэ.

Хүлээх биш Хөөцөлдөцгөөе, Сонсох биш Дуу хоолойгоо хүргэцгээе!

Дэлхийн улсуудын Номын сангийн хууль эрх зүйн актууд, түүний түүхтэй

танилцахад буруудах юун:

Library Acts

Public Libraries Act

http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/index.cfm

Энэ хуудсанд Нийтийн номын сангийн систем, эрх зүйн орчин АНУ-д бүрдэж бий болсон түүхийг бичжээ.

Library Bill of Rights

http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/index.cfm

Монголын ийм зүйлийг хэн, хэзээ, хэрхэн, юунд үндэслэн гаргаж болохыг зөвлөж чадах хүнийг Монголын номын сангууд хайж байна?

Norwegian Public Library Policy: A Possible Model for the Third World?

http://www.worlib.org/vol01no2/granheim_v01n2.shtml

Норвегийн нийтийн номын сангийн системийн тухай болон шинэчилсэн хууль

The American Library Association and Cuba's Libraries: An Overview 2001 to 2004

http://www.worlib.org/vol13no1-2/berry_v13n1-2.shtml

Куба улсад мэдээллийн эрх чөлөөний маш том эргэлт хийгджээ гэж бодлоо.

Religion in American Libraries, a Q & A

http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/statementspols/otherpolicies/religionqanda.cfm

Зөвхөн шашинтай холбоотой гэж бодолгүй энэ нийтэлийг уншвал, нийтийн номын сангийн үндсэн зарчмууд энд бичигджээ
