Abstract

We present a tribute to Lynne Howarth’s presence as an advocate and navigator for the bibliographic profession. We first trace her commitment to this community, noting her insistence on its continuing relevance. By providing lucid and accessible conceptual explanations of everyday practices she helps situate the work of bibliographic practitioners in a broader context, not only in librarianship but beyond, extending to other settings. We use the case of her work on convergence to illustrate how this bringing together of data, practices, and community helps position the bibliographic field in an emerging digital context, and to understand its role in a movement toward shared data and practice. Finally, we examine her scholarly approach in which she often incorporates the voice of the professional and a skilled historical narrative, producing findings that are explanatory, illuminative, and critical, serving to position bibliographic practice within an ongoing, evolving tradition.

我们向琳恩·豪沃斯 (Lynne Howarth) 作为书目专业的倡导者和导航者的存在表示敬意。我们首先追溯她对这个社区的承诺，注意到她坚持其持续相关性。通过对日常实践提供清晰易懂的概念性解释，她帮助将书目从业者的工作置于更广泛的背景下，不仅在图书馆工作中，而且还延伸到其他环境。我们使用她在融合方面的工作案例来说明将数据、实践和社区结合起来如何帮助将书目领域定位在新兴的数字环境中，并了解其在共享数据和实践运动中的作用。最后，我们研究了她的学术方法，其中她经常结合专业人士的声音和熟练的历史叙述，
