Weitzel, Simone da Rocha. « Os repositórios de e-prints como nova forma de organização da produção científica : o caso da área das Ciências da Comunicação no Brasil ». Thesis, Universidade de São Paulo, 2006. http://eprints.rclis.org/10714/1/tese_Weitzel_USP.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The advent of the internet has revolutionized the way scientists communicate their research results increasing the power to disseminate and to access scientific production. This fact was responsible to restructure the scientific information flow that has incorporated its own characteristics from the digital culture. The Open Archives Initiative constituted the infrastructure that supports this restructuring. It was also responsible for the institutionalization of a model called e-prints repositories (ER), that stores, disseminates and promotes scientific production, published or not, in a place managed by the scientific community itself, that allows the inclusion of their public commmentaries about contents of that production. The hypothesis of this work suggests that the adherence to this model by the scientific communities depends on the level of understanding and acceptance, of the profile of the field interfering with the adoption of the innovation and its legitimation. Through a case study of Brazilian researchers from the Communication Sciences field it had been carried out the electronic focus group technique among 18 researchers, whose profile was formed by researches leaders registered at CNPq with backgroung in the field. The exploratory study identified many questions present in the dynamics of scientific communication of the field leading to proof of the hypothesis. From among results, distinguish low perception of that this model optimized the scientific information flow and strong tendency to not accept the model becauce of field profile. In conclusion, the level of adherence to the model is inserted in a medium to low scale.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study examined administrative appeals under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) at two federal government agencies: the Department of the Army and the U.S. Forest Service. The study reviewed all provided case files for appeals received by the agencies in fiscal year 2012, which consisted of 105 appeals at the Army and 53 appeals at the Forest Service. The researcher coded each appeal with respect to the processing time of the initial request, whether a lawyer was involved in preparing the request or appeal, and the professional or situational identity of the requester (journalist, business, agency personnel, etc.).
From initial request through initial decision, the median wait time was 31 calendar days at the Forest Service and 40 days at the Army. At both agencies, a person with legal expertise assisted with nearly one-third of appealed FOIA requests. Requests from agency personnel and their families constituted the largest group of the appeals filed at the Army, while at the Forest Service the largest group of appeals came from the "other" category of requesters, including members of the general public and unidentified requesters.

Dürhammer, Agnes. « Kinder- und jugendliterarische Ankaufspolitik in öffentlichen Bibliotheken Österreichs ». Thesis, 2006. http://eprints.rclis.org/7729/1/AC05370006.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The goal of this thesis is to analyse the purchase of children's and young people's literature
in public libraries in Austria, namely which sources librarians use for the selection of children's and young people's literature and which factors they take into consideration when selecting a book. The research methods have taken a combined approach that has included both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The quantitative data are collected by sending out an email-based questionnaire. First, the questionnaires are analysed, which then formed the basis for the guided interview. Afterwards, a guided interview with the librarians of
the libraries in question was carried out to collect information about the purchase of children's and young people's literature. In conclusion, it was found that the purchase of children's and young people's literature
is based mainly on assumed interests of the readers and not on pedagogical, literary, nor educational aspects. The analysis of the questionnaire showed that there is a link between the proportion of children’s and young people’s literature and the size of the library. It was found that mass media, for example radio and TV are seldomly used for selecting children’s and young people’s literature, while lists of recommendations, professional journals and recommendations on advanced training are often used as selection sources.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Library work in prisons is regarded as social library work, which is viewed differently from country to country. This thesis is concerned with the status of prison libraries in Austria. The two aims of this thesis are firstly, to explore of prison library work in general and secondly, to create an overview on prison library work in Austria. Good-Practice examples are included in both parts of the thesis.
The first part of the thesis develops a theoretical framework based on the IFLA recommendations for prison libraries and literature from the USA and Germany. In the first chapter, a short historical survey is given in order to illustrate the development of prison libraries over the years. Legal terms, especially where free information access according to the European Human Rights Convention is concerned, are analysed. As a result of a lack of Austrian literature a questionnaire is developed, the results of which provide recent information on the equipment of the libraries, the education of librarians and the reading behaviour of inmates. Resulting from the questionnaire it can be said that most of the Austrian prison libraries have been a consistent part of inmates’ leisure time for years and still are. Censorship is an issue, but it is restricted to materials that could endanger security in prison. All in all, prison libraries in Austria fulfil the duty of securing not only article 19 of the Human Rights Convention, but give inmates access to learning materials that can have positive influence on their time in and after prison.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The globalization has plotted the course of the humanity, towards the conformation of the society of the information and the knowledge. Nevertheless, the deficiencies in the matter of habits and reading understanding, combined to the changing Technologies of the Information and the Communication (TIC), deepen the inequalities between prosperous and developing countries and individuals of a same nation, which throws lamentable numbers of functional illiteracy, informational and technological. Before such situation, the public libraries, like institutions of social and cultural character, must contribute in the processes of rectification of these deficiencies, as well as to the formation and consolidation of the reading society. In this direction, the investigation assumes the compared study of an intentional sample of reading plans, designed by organisms and international, national and regional institutions of iberoamerican countries, with the purpose of presenting a set of methodologic criteria for the planning of promotion of the reading, that allows the active participation of the public library in the construction of the society of the shared knowledge.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The main objective of this thesis is to develop some library intervention lines in relation to the Roma minority, analyzing different aspects as education, sociological matters, medical issues, etc. The specific objectives are: a) to review the existing library regulations and their suitability to minorities, especially gypsies; B) to observe the present function of the public library and especially its educational and social work; (c) to analyze and assess the different library services for the Roma minority in the European Union together with a range of library experiences in relation to minorities as a whole.
The research process has been developed in three different stages of elaboration: first, around a theoretical foundation based on bibliographic searches. Secondly, an experimental work after consulting experts and institutions on the Roma minority alongside with the author's personal experience. At the same time, in comparing this information with that offered by the website of those libraries that are developing actuations with the Gypsy minority. Finally, in an analysis of results based on work parameters created for this purpose.
Two types of results have been achieved: some practical ones which turn around a serie of guidelines (based on a multidisciplinary approach) and others of a formal nature, which act as tools in evaluating and organizing actions with minorities and whose final result is a set of tables that allow to collect all the specific information about the gypsy community, in order to analyze, compare and value any kind of library action with this group.
The entire process has allowed us to conclude that as we live in a multicultural society, the public library must be able to reflect this reality and be able to cope with it. However, the current library regulations are very limited not only in relation to minorities as a whole but also in relation to the Roma minority in particular. On the other hand, the librarian initiatives seen in the European Union have been sporadic and isolated, and so, integral, systematic and holistic actions are needed from very different fields. At the national level, this group requires specific actions that can only be developed based on the knowledge and study of their own and particular characteristics as a community.

Texte intégralRésumé :
(The Growth of Community-based Library: a case study of Rumah Cahaya, Melati taman baca and Kedai baca Sanggar Barudak.)
The title of this study is "The Growth of Community-based Library: a case study of Rumah Cahaya, Melati taman baca and Kedai baca Sanggar Barudak". This thesis is focused on the existence of community-based libraries that have developed more and more in the last five years, even though the government has already established public libraries for the people. The goal of this research is to describe the goals and reasons for setting up community-based libraries, including the background for setting them up, the function, values and norms which they are spreading in the community, and the obstacles that they have experienced.
The kind of research used is descriptive research in the form of case studies, interviews and observation. A purposeful sample was determined, with 9 informants which were all the initiators of community libraries, volunteers and caretakers of community-based libraries, as well as users of community-based libraries.
The research findings show that the existence of community-based libraries was caused by several factors, including disappointment towards the public libraries in terms of quantity and quality. The number of public libraries is not adequate for the number of inhabitants, the information needs of the community, and the quality of service is far from satisfactory. Apart from this factor, another factor which influences the development of community-based libraries is that they become a place to pursue the vision and mission of a certain community, so that there is teaching of values and norms in the library which is appropriate to the vision and mission of community in question.
The development of community-based libraries today is quite a significant phenomenon, and this shows that the libraries are well received among the community. There are several positive effects shown both by the users and the volunteers in the library. Usually the obstacles or difficulties that the community-based libraries meet are the lack of money, human resources, and the difficulty of finding a strategic location for the library. The advice for community-based libraries is to work together with relevant government/city departments, as well as public libraries, increase the commitment of volunteers, and develop the libraries so that they can survive and increase the quality of the community through a program of development and empowerment of the community.

Stefanek, Elisabeth. « Digital Divide : die Entwicklung eines Ablaufmodells zur Überwindung informationeller Ungleichheit ». Thesis, 2007. http://eprints.rclis.org/10669/1/AC06412792.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In a global context, social disparities are also noticeable in respect to the inequality of access and use of the information and communication technology (ICT). Many initiatives and dedicated projects aiming to close the gap between the “information rich” in the industrialized countries and the “information poor” in the so-called third world countries are implemented. However, most of these projects and programs face enormous difficulties in implementations and are far from reaching their objectives, to improve people’s life through ICT. The aim of the thesis is to determine factors, which lead to positive results of ICT projects and develop accordingly to these criteria a manual for effective and successful transaction of such projects in developing countries.
First, a review of current literature is undertaken in order to identify critical factors for success of such projects. In a second step the identified main criteria of common models are put together in order to analyse four meaningful case studies. Finally, a scheme for a systematic approach for projects of information and technology transfer is developed. The results confirm the importance of human and social resources for the success of such projects. Furthermore, for the effective use of ICT it is essential that there is a need assessment beforehand to identify and meet the needs of the target group. Finally, it was shown that financial independence is crucial to the sustainability of the projects.

Lewis, Andrew. « A user survey of the experiences of blind and visually impaired people using electronic information services, with regard to the practical implementation of these services in public libraries ». Thesis, 2004. http://eprints.rclis.org/5584/1/2004-05-05_Andrew-lewis_MSc-Dissertation_SURVEY-BLIND-USERS-ELECTRONIC-SERVICES.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The report outlines research with blind and partially sighted people using electronic information services in real-life situations, and specifically how their experiences might inform the planning of these services in UK public libraries.
Based upon a full literature review, a survey was conducted of blind and partially sighted people who have some experience of using electronic information services, suitable for, but not restricted to use in, public libraries.
The methodology outlines the creation of two electronic survey formats, designed to be accessible and usable for blind and visually impaired people, and the related issues of delivery for the study sample. The data collected is included, and a full analysis of the findings is presented. Correlation was found with other wider surveys in the specific fields of blind and visually impaired people, and electronic information services.
The report concludes that the visually impaired and especially blind people surveyed feel that libraries are out of touch with their needs relating to electronic information services, that there is correlation between users’ personal preferences and the usability of services, and that diverse and varying services act as a barrier to use. Evidence was also found to support the idea that computer access technologies aimed at blind and visually impaired people may attract very little use in libraries, without significant investment in staff training.
A case is made for greater investigation of remote access to electronic services that can be accessed by blind people with their own equipment. This is felt to have usability benefits such as users’ familiarity with their own systems, and the reduction of unnecessary travel. It was also concluded that there is a need for specific consultation with people who are blind, separate from those who are partially sighted, and early involvement of both groups in testing of new services.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The society in which we live demands people able to use and evaluate information in different formats. Information literacy is now an essential requisite to become active citizens. It is crucial that this learning process begins in early stages of people’s development and continue through all their lives.
The purpose of this research project was to assess what information skills Uruguayan children have, offering valuable insight on issues never studied before in
Uruguay.
A questionnaire was developed and applied to 250 children in 6th grade (11-12-year-old) in 7 public and 3 private schools (selected to represent different socioeconomic
contexts) in Montevideo. This study was based primarily on the children point of view, but also explores librarians and teachers impressions, and it’s exploratory and descriptive in nature.
Data analysis revealed that Uruguayan children have limited information skills and that there are significative differences between socioeconomic contexts. Teachers and
school librarians who were interviewed had a lower assessment of children's skills than the children did of themselves. They also regarded the need to improve them as essential.
It concludes with a reflection on the need to enhance these skills. Students, teachers and librarians´ understanding of the importance of information skills is fundamental for
students having the lead of their own learning.

Schrammel, Barbara. « Barrierefreie Bibliothek : Kriterien für barrierefreie öffentliche Bibliotheken dargestellt an einem Fallbeispiel ». Thesis, 2007. http://eprints.rclis.org/9959/1/AC06015069.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In this thesis the problem of access to public libraries in Austria, especially for people with disabilities, is described. Following an amendment to the federal constitution of Austria in 1997, disabled people now have equal rights and should be fully integrated into society in all aspects. This means that accessible environments must be created which can be used by everyone without assistance. Due to the fact that barrier-free access is insufficiently discussed in the context of libraries, the aim of this thesis is to identify criteria for accessibility and furthermore to develop a checklist for Austrian public libraries.
First, a review of current literature on this topic is undertaken. Then qualitative interviews are conducted with representatives from an information and service centre for barrier-free buildings, from a non-profit association and from the “Büchereiverband Österreichs”, which is the umbrella organisation of public libraries in Austria. The final part of this thesis contains a criteria checklist for accessibility to public libraries based on different standards, similar to the ÖNORM B 1600 and ÖNORM B 1602. Moreover, guidelines from library related associations such as the IFLA and "The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council" are taken into account. A checklist is developed and subsequently tested in one public library in the form of a case study. The main outcome of this thesis is that there are several factors involved, affecting the implementation of measures for accessibility. The findings suggest that more lobbying between the institutions and organisations involved has to be done. Consequently, close collaboration is absolutely essential to make library buildings, services and information accessible.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Gifted readers tend to have an outstanding reading competence. Accordingly, they show a great interest in books and read more (often) than their average peers. This thesis aims at identifying the reading interests of high ability readers. Additionally, there will be examined whether they follow their interest by using a library. If this is not the case, there will be shown how librarians can act in order to address this target group properly and how they can encourage these readers to become active library users. For this purpose concrete examples and advice will be given. First, a review of current literature is undertaken, in order to identify the state-of-the-art of the topic. The second part will address the results of qualitative interviews conducted with psychologists and gifted children. Psychologists have been questioned regarding ‚giftedness’. Furthermore they have been asked feedback on how to develop a survey on gifted children. The purpose of interviewing the children was to confirm what has been examined in the theoretical part about the reading of high ability readers and to answer the question whether these children are active users of the library.
The main outcome of this thesis is that in fact there is a positive correlation between giftedness and reading, which means that high ability readers are inveterate readers and attach high value to reading. The findings suggest that no organised learning opportunity is more valuable than a library in the education of the gifted. By giving concrete examples, librarians are provided with recommendations on how to focus on this target group. Accordingly high ability readers themselves should benefit from the findings of this thesis.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of this study is to explore and investigate the phenomenon of rural community libraries (RCLs) in Sub-Saharan Africa through an in-depth study of one such library located in Uganda. Specifically, it sets out to investigate the role of the RCL in relation to student learning. This is done by a thorough account of what the library offers, who the users are and what they do at the library. To approach the question of student learning through the library, the study includes two models on libraries‘ influence on student learning developed for a Western context.
The methodology covers both quantitative and qualitative methods to produce rich and varied data, but the main emphasis is on the latter. In addition to traditional data collection techniques, the study includes a kind of improvised action research that contributed to the range of data collected.
The library in question is above average in terms of materials and use, and its existence seems to increase the amount of reading, particularly the number of storybooks read by pupils. The secondary students, who are the focus of this study, mainly read their own notes, schoolbooks (pamphlets, textbooks and past papers) and to some extent fiction. This group does read more due to the library, it seems, especially schoolbooks, but the library‘s contribution to their learning beyond mere reading, such as study skills, use of reference works and co-operation, is somewhat limited. There are five conditions that work against the library having a full potential impact on student learning: the curriculum, the exams and the traditional way of teaching; lack of reading culture; lack of library tradition; limited resources; and the problems related to the language of instruction. Despite these limitations, by bringing books to a print-poor environment the library does make a difference.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The general aim of this research is to understand how the selection of information sources by bilingual Brazilian Sign Language/Portuguese high school teachers from Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina, Campus São José happens. The specific objectives are: to characterize the bilingual school teachers according to their academic background, experience and professional practice, to identify the information sources used by teachers in the teaching-learning process, to understand the reasons leading to the choice of the information sources and to identify the criteria used by teachers for selecting the information sources in bilingual education. It presents a review on the literature about the history of deaf education; deaf education in Brazil; modalities of deaf education; sign language; access, selection and quality of information sources. For the study , a methodology with a qualitative approach will be used, which consists of the study of a descriptive case study that is supported by literature to achieve the goals. The research includes the teachers who taught at a bilingual high school in the second half of 2010. The instrument of the data collection is the interview script. For the data analysis, the technique of content analysis of Bardin was used. The survey results indicate that the sources that are most used by teachers in the teaching-learning process are: experimentation, book, food, toys, study trips, and teaching materials prepared by the teacher. The reasons for the use of information sources are: the presence of visual information sources and motivation of students in learning. Considering the criteria for the selection of sources, the selected as very important are: a source that is current; a well prepared and easy to understand text , pictures and / or illustrations; level of information that is appropriate for the age group. It was concluded that high school teachers need to adapt the bilingual informative materials to the reality of the deaf using a visuospatial channel for communication, represented by the sign language. The visuals resources are extremely important for the understanding of the information provided by the sources. The bilingual school teachers follow the logic of adjustment to the user to choose information sources and are concerned about the quality and convenience of the sources used in the teaching-learning process.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The thesis is originally written in English, and a full translated version in Indonesian is also available.
Since 2001, a movement of individuals, neighbourhood and community organizations and NGOs starting and running their own libraries has emerged in Indonesia. Called Taman Bacaans (TBs) - reading gardens - these simple libraries, often hosted in somebody’s house, or in a community building, provide easy and informal access to books, as well as frequent literacy programming. This thesis traces the historical heritage of these TBs back to the early renting libraries of peranakan Chinese in the 19th century, through Balai Pustaka and the public library movement under Sukarno. The modern TB emerges in the 1980s, the government attempts a wide-scale implementation of TBs in the 1990s, and a community movement finally emerges in 2001.
Using interviews with informants and newspaper articles, blogs, mailing lists, and NGO and government reports, I describe the process of how the TB movement emerges in Bandung and Yogyakarta. I also identify a number of factors that enabled and supported the movement: inspiring individual role-models, “best-case” libraries, networks and the roles of Islam and nationalism. Finally I provide an overview of the situation today, combining government statistics with the results of a survey conducted in Jakarta, and show that there are three kinds of TBs: those set-up by national, regional or local government (TBMs), those funded by large-scale donors, and independent TBs grounded in the local communities. I conclude with a number of recommendations for government and donors.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Education in citizen participation must be provided from a very early stage in those spaces where young boys and girls live together with people with whom they share social links, such as their home, their neighborhood or their school. For children growing up in Bogotá and attending public or private schools, the first contact with citizen participation, beyond their classes on democracy and the country’s political constitution, takes place when they vote to elect their fellow student council’s representatives.
Over the last years the (information) literacy issue has gained space in both individual and collective efforts to make it a basic social, democratic, and participative matter within the all embracing framework marked by the society-technology relationship. In this sense, information literacy is also an attempt (beyond the problem of literal access to public information) to foster critical thinking vis-à-vis curriculum contents.
Thus, we consider that dealing with the concept of citizen participation goes beyond its topicality and should be developed not only from the public library but also through initiatives that arise from society’s actual concerns in order to awaken the participants’ interest.
To achieve the aforesaid, herein we present the design and results of a program that aims at developing information skills to access, ponder, and use public information in order to encourage citizen participation. Keeping in mind that our society is now facing challenges that call for citizens capable of hurdling them, it is essential to start developing such skills from a very early age to allow children, youngsters and their communities to behave and be recognized as citizens who are responsible for their actions in both the real and the digital world.

In this thesis I examine the relationship with literacy constructed by the users of public libraries, such as, in this case, the José Vasconcelos Library in México city. As a central dimension of the ethnographic study, I analyze reading in groups as a social practice. I show how the José Vasconcelos Library as a public space is signified through various uses beyond the traditional practices to which many Library spaces are subjected. I describe some examples of the appropriation of public spaces and show how diverse practices are produced that involves literacy and written culture. I then analyze the relationships that are woven between different manners of reading and the activities and practices undertaken by several groups or collectives of readers who use the library as a meeting point to study, to read or to perform different activities in places that are available to the public. To approach this problem, I take into account a sociocultural concept of reading, which emerged from the New Literacy Studies. I considered “reading” not only as a cognitive competence, but also as a social tool.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The dissertation presents the outputs of a research carried out during the second semester of 2014 and the first semester of 2015 at Vasconcelos Public Library, located in Buenavista, a neighborhood in Mexico City. The public library is used as a methodological strategy of
public space or equipment observation. An ethnographic approach is primarily used, as well as a combination of methods in the several descriptive stages of the space, and for the registry of usage, practices and experiences of the library by users and visitors.
The first chapter presents a general overview of the library using the information gathered in a survey applied to users and visitors (BV-CNCA, 2014). Following, a description of the spaces and activities carried out by users is presented in an ethnographic narration. Finally, everyday experiences of users and visitors are presented.
The research shows how the conceptions and values around the library’s materiality (features, place configuration or layout, location) and immateriality (conceptions, imaginaries, experiences) influence the way of using and thinking about this equipment. The study concludes that this public architecture spatializes experiences that give a new meaning to the public library as an equipment of urban life, both indoor and outdoor, expanding its present and future history as a public space.
