[Library Network] Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive: A new collection "Mathematics in Classics (Dep. Math.)" newly released

 On 2019-10-30 (6254 reads)

A new collection "Mathematics in Classics (Dep. Math.)" of 592 books has been released. This collection consists of books on Wasan, or Japanese mathematics, including astronomy, Chinese classics, as well as Western mathematics held by the Department of Mathematics, Mathematics Library, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University.

▼Mathematics in Classics (Dep. Math.)

Wasan, or Japanese mathematics, developed in Japan independently from the Western mathematics, through the Edo Period and the Meiji Era. It has fostered many math enthusiasts among general Japanese people and a custom called Sangaku hono (算額奉納), dedication of Ema (votive picture of a horse) to shrines when difficult problems were solved, became popular. The collection includes Jinko-ki (塵劫記), an introductory book that triggered enthusiasm in mathematics among Japanese people, and Katsuyo Sanpo (括要算法), a posthumous collection of Seki Takakazu's works.

Many books that have played significant roles in the progress of Western mathematics are also available: Euclid's Elementorum, Apollonius’s Conicorum, and Diophantus’s Arithmeticorum (our holding is the same edition as the one on which Fermat wrote the famous "Last Theorem" in the margin). Anyone who is interested in mathematics can enjoy the development of mathematics through these books.

The digital archive provides 1,262,613 images of 14,162 titles as of October 30, 2019.

◆図書館機構ポスターセッション

「オープン・サイテーションとは？　－欧米で進む引用データのオープン化、日本における現状と機関リポジトリへの影響－」

https://www.libraryfair.jp/poster/2019/8671

 

◆一言PR・概要

オープン・サイテーションを知っていますか？

 オープン・サイテーションとは、学術出版物に記載された引用データ（参考文献リスト）を利活用しやすい形式でオープンにすることです。引用データは、研究評価、図書館の蔵書形成など重要な場面で活用されていますが、複雑なライセンスにより保護され自由なアクセスが難しい状況でした。この状況を打開するために、2017年4月に、学術機関と出版社によって、I4OC（Initiative for Open Citations）が設立され、欧米にてオープン・サイテーションが急速に進展しています。

本ポスターは、2019年度京都大学図書館機構講演会（https://www.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/bulletin/1381711 ）の内容をもとに、オープン・サイテーションの重要性、日本におけるオープン・サイテーションの現状について理解を深めることを目的とします。また、その機関リポジトリへの展開を考えることで、これからの大学図書館の共通課題として共有する機会にしたいと思います。
