Just-In-Time馆藏建设服务在美国的实践（英文）

Just-In-Time Collection Services: Practices in the U.S.

由日本汽车制造商丰田公司于20世纪中叶创建的Just in Time(JIT)(即时供应)几十年来一直是生产和库存管理的领先理念。美国的图书馆越来越多地将这种理念应用于管理馆藏和服务工作。这与几个世纪以来使用的更传统的Just-in-case(JIC)(备需供应)模型不同。从馆藏选择、馆藏建设、馆藏开发到现在的馆藏服务,分析描述图书馆馆藏专业活动的术语的演变,反映了图书馆在不同的时间建设馆藏的方法。JIT馆藏建设服务已经在美国的大多数图书馆中得到应用。什么是JIT馆藏服务以及它是如何应用的?本文通过美国图书馆的实践描述了JIT模型。

Just in Time/JIT,created by the Japanese automaker Toyota in mid-20th Century,has been a leading philosophy for both production and inventory management for decades.Libraries in the U.S.increasingly are applying this philosophy to managing collections and services.It is a departure from the more traditional just-in-case/JIC model used for centuries.From selection,to collection building,collection development,and now collection services,the evolution on the terms describing the professional activities surrounding library collections reflects how libraries build their collections at different times.JIT collection services have taken over most libraries in the U.S.What is it and how is it applied?This paper describes the JIT model by practices from the U.S.libraries.
