“…Moreover, the paper deals with the problem of merging two bibliographies and deduplication of records (see Section 4). The problem is discussed in the literature (Wysota and Trzaska, 2021;Sitas and Kapidakis, 2008;Heron et al, 2013).…”

The subject of this article is the application of NLP and text-mining methods to the analysis of two large bibliographies: a Polish one, based on the catalogs of the National Library in Warsaw, and a German one, created by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek. The data in both collections are stored in MARC 21 format, allowing the selection of relevant fields that are used for further processing (basically author, title, and date). The volume of the Polish corpus (after filtering out non-relevant or incomplete items) includes 1.4 mln of records, and that of the German corpus 7.5 mln records. The time span of both bibliographies extends from 1801 to 2021. The aim of the study is to compare the gender distribution of book authors in Polish and German databases over more than two centuries. The proportions of male and female authors since 1801 were calculated automatically, and NLP methods such as document vector embeddings based on deep BERT networks were used to extract topics from titles. The gender of the Polish authors was recognized based on the morphology of the first names, and that of the German authors based on a predefined list. The study found that the proportion of female authors has been steadily increasing both in Poland and in German countries (currently around 43%). However, the topics of women's and men's writings invariably remain different since 1801.

This paper investigates the use of standard and non-standard adverbial markers in modern Chinese literature. In Chinese, adverbials can be derived from many adjectives, adverbs and verbs with the suffix "de". The suffix has a standard and a non-standard written form, both of which are frequently used. Contrastive research on these two competing forms has mostly been qualitative or limited to small text samples. In this first large-scale quantitative study, we present statistics on 346 adverbial types from an 8-million-character text corpus drawn from Chinese literature in the 20th century. We present a semantic analysis of the verbs modified by adverbs with standard and non-standard markers, and a chronological analysis of marker choice among six prominent modern Chinese authors. We show that the non-standard form is more frequently used when the adverbial modifies an emotion verb. Further, we demonstrate that marker choice is correlated to text genre and register, as well as the writing style of the author.

“…Heron dit: « The first stage of the Single Bib Pilot Project was to determine whether the eleven million bibliographic records of the three pilot libraries could be merged successfully without serious data loss, yet also without excessive duplicate records. » [14] Pour chaque intégration de données, l'équipe a donc évalué les données contenues dans chacun des catalogues afin de quantifier le temps nécessaire à la préparation des données, les possibilités d'erreur au transfert, les niveaux de correction des données requis après coup, et la perte des données à envisager. Bref, est-ce que le transfert valait l'investissement ou non?…”

En 2015, le gouvernement québécois, par la loi 10, a modifié l'organisation du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux. En bref, tous les établissements d'une même région administrative ont été fusionnés. Par exemple, dans la région de Lanaudière, six établissements ont été réunis pour en former un seul : le Centre de santé et de services sociaux de Lanaudière. Le regroupement inclut plus de 61 installations dispersées sur un territoire de plus de 12 000 km2. Comme les services de santé et de services sociaux de la région, les cinq bibliothèques du CISSS de L:anaudière ont également dû fusionner. Cet article fait le point sur chacune des étapes qui ont été franchies pour arriver à créer la nouvelle bibliothèque fusionnée du CISSS Lanaudière. Premièrement, l'équipe des bibliothèques a dû faire face à la réorganisation de la structure organisationnelle et administrative, revoir les responsabilités, les possibilités budgétaires et la mission des bibliothèques. Toutes les collections ont été fusionnées, physiquement réunies dans des espaces communs, mais aussi dans un unique système intégré de gestion de bibliothèque. Les nouvelles réalités du CISSS de Lanaudière, ont aussi mené à une réévaluation de l'offre de service des bibliothèques et à la création de nouveaux services en ligne.
