Abstract

Traditional literature (including folk tales, fairy tales, and fables) is valued in academic children's literature collections for its value in both direct use (real or hypothetical) with children and the historical, cultural, and anthropological study of folklore. The “timeless” feel of these works, along with their distinctively liminal place between fiction and nonfiction, can lead them to be perceived as indefinitely useful, even beyond their unusually long standard retention period. Nevertheless, in a non-archival academic children’s literature collection, routine assessment of traditional literature is necessary and even valuable. This article situates traditional literature in the context of children’s literature and its academic study, then describes how the children’s folklore collection in one academic library was bifurcated to improve access, browsing ability, context, and use of shelf space. Considerations, including thoughts on developing assessment and weeding criteria, are spelled out for collections considering a similar undertaking.

学术图书馆中的儿童民俗:语境和馆藏管理的重组

摘要

传统文学(包括民间故事、童话故事和寓言)因其在儿童直接使用(真实或假设)以及对民俗的历史、文化和人类学研究方面的价值而在学术儿童文学收藏中受到重视。这些作品的“永恒”感,以及它们在小说和非小说之间的独特界限,可能会导致它们被认为是无限有用的,甚至超出了它们异常长的标准保留期。然而,在非档案学术儿童文学收藏中,对传统文学的常规评估是必要的,甚至是有价值的。本文将传统文学置于儿童文学及其学术研究的背景下,然后描述了如何将一个学术图书馆中的儿童民俗收藏分为两部分,以改善访问、浏览能力、上下文和货架空间的使用。对于考虑类似任务的收藏,详细说明了考虑因素,包括关于制定评估和除草标准的想法。
