Data-intensive stream processing applications have escalated in popularity in recent years, producing numerous designs and implementations for handling unbounded streams of high-volume data. The sheer size and dimensionality of these types of data requires multiple machines to push processing throughput of hundreds of millions events per second at low latencies. Advances in the fields of distributed deep learning and stream processing have highlighted networking-specific challenges and requirements such as flow control and scalable communication abstractions. Existing stream processing frameworks, however, only address subsets of these requirements. This thesis proposes a design and implementation in the Rust programming language for a modular networking library able to address these requirements together. The design entails protocol framing, buffer management, stream multiplexing, flow control, and stream prioritization. The implemented prototype handles multiplexing of logical streams and credit-based flow control through a flexible application programming interface. The prototype is tested for overall throughput and round-trip latency in a distributed environment, displaying promising results in both categories.
Under de senaste åren har applikationer för dataintensiv ström bearbetning blivit avsevärt mer vanliga. Detta har lett till en uppsjö av modeller och implementationer för hantering av dataströmmar av gränslös volym. Blotta datamängden och dess dimensionalitet kräver otaliga maskiner för att med låg latens hantera hundratals miljoner händelser per sekund. Framsteg inom området för distribuerad djupinlärning och ström bearbetning har blottlagt nätverksspecifika utmaningar och krav såsom flödeskontroll och skalbara kommunikationsabstraktioner. Nuvarande beräkningssystem för ström bearbetning uppfyller dessvärre bara en del av dessa villkor. Detta examensarbete presenterar en modell och implementation i programmeringsspråket Rust för ett modulärt nätverksbibliotek som kan hantera alla dessa krav på en gång. Modellen inbegriper datainramning, bufferhantering, ström multiplexing, flödeskontroll och ström prioritering. Prototypen som här implementerats hanterar multiplexing av logiska dataströmmar och kreditbaserad flödeskontroll genom ett flexibelt applikationsgränssnitt. Prototypen har testats i avseende å nätverk genomströmning och tur-och-returtid i ett distribuerat upplägg, med lovande resultat i bägge kategorier.

This research project has confirmed that the BOTEC library is adequately satisfying the basic information requirements of its users. It further indicates that there is, however, a need for the library to more vigorously adopt newer technologies and respond to other environmental changes in order for the library to fully fulfill its role in supporting the engineers' information requirements. The dissertation concludes with recommendations and strategies that the researcher suggests the BOTEC library could adopt to ensure a more user-centric and improved service.

The purpose of the research is to study the evolving role of the school library and information centre (SLIC) in primary and secondary education in digital Europe, not only in countries where schools have reached an advanced stage of usage of digital technology in education, but also in less advanced schools. This international research provides a bridge between two different disciplines – Comparative Education (Sociology) and Library and Information Science (LIS) – and attempts to provide information to both the educational and library communities throughout Europe regarding the role which SLICs play in the emerging educational global landscape and to determine whether or not these traditional, digital or virtual SLICs, and the work of the school librarian and information specialist, influence the quality of education and improve children's learning outcomes at different levels. First of all, the study examines a sub-matrix known as the KILM (Kalsbeek Information Literacy Matrix), which was developed as part of an educational matrix between 1997 and 2008 at the Kalsbeek College in Woerden, the Netherlands. The educational matrix attempts to introduce and implement educational reforms, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) usage, educational technology and new forms of learning throughout the school in a orderly fashion while maintaining a high level of educational quality. This sub-matrix (KILM) identifies the role of the SLIC during the application of the educational matrix. The study then looks at success criteria which became apparent during the application of the sub-matrix and asks whether or not it would be possible to apply similar strategies to other schools libraries and information centres, firstly at Dutch national level and then in school libraries throughout Europe. The staffing, facilities and conditions in school libraries and information centres which were studied vary greatly, however, thanks to the willingness of teachers, school librarians and (school) library associations to share information and data, it has become possible to identify common problems and present some solutions.

Academic libraries in South Africa are facing the challenge of tighter budgets, increasing student enrolments, greater diversity in students' backgrounds and library experience, and a call for greater accountability to all the stakeholders. The effectiveness of a library service can be measured in terms of the availability and accessibility of library materials, two attributes of a library's document delivery capability. This study focused on the availability of prescribed materials for undergraduate students in an academic library. It involved a micro-evaluation of the immediate materials availability rate in a short loan collection, by using a combination of a quantitative simulation study, and a qualitative user survey. Generally, the availability rates determined were high, which suggests a high degree of collection adequacy. However, the user study confirmed that many SLC users experienced difficulties in using the system, indicating a need for continuous user education programmes and constant dialogue between the staff and the users concerning future service improvements. The study indicated that overall materials availability rates can be misleading if accepted at face value. A introspective analysis of the reasons for the non-availability of high-demand materials revealed hidden access barriers such as poor information retrieval skills on the part of the users and certain inefficient organisational procedures on the part of the library. The study reiterates the fundamental importance of constructive communication between the various stakeholders in meeting the educational goals of the institution and the necessity of regular library performance evaluation to ensure a dynamic, proactive service. The coexistence of print-based and electronic resources in the forseeable future underscores the importance of convenience and accessibility factors in making required documents available to the users.

The main purpose of this research project has been to investigate the need and, consequently, the perceived feasibility of establishing a cooperative manuscript bibliographical information sharing network among six major libraries in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Perceived feasibility is in this case a good indication of actual feasibility. This is because the perceptions studied here are those of experts. Appeal to an authority is a perfectly legitimate way of gathering information and confirming beliefs. The librarians and directors of the manuscript departments of the six libraries are essentially experts in manuscript and library services. Their opinion, therefore, can be considered as a good indication of the actual feasibility. There is another group who can also provide an indication for feasibility; the users of those manuscript departments. The majority of those users are either university professors or graduate students who rely heavily on manuscripts. Librarians and the users of the libraries were the population of this study. The study went further and compared the attitudes of these two groups to determine whether they are in fact similar. Survey method was used to achieve the goal of this research project. The instruments used are interviews, a questionnaire, and review of related literature. The study showed that the manuscript departments hold large collections of more than 98,700 titles in different forms. In regard to the state of automation, four of the departments are using automated systems, and the other two are planning to. As for library cooperation, none of the departments or the libraries are involved or have been involved in any cooperative library network or any sort of formal cooperation. For bibliographic tools, each of the six departments has developed its own cataloging rules, and only one use one of the major subject lists. Moreover, two departments only use one of the major Arabic authority control lists. The majority of the respondents rate all the suggested functions for the network as very important. Furthermore, they think that these functions can be done without a network but that it would be difficult. The majority also strongly agree with all the listed potential benefits of the network. With regard to the potential obstacles that may face the establishment of the network, the majority of the respondents agree or strongly agree that the listed obstacles are significant barriers, except the idea that there is not need for a network. Ninety-eight percent of the respondents think establishing a manuscript bibliographical information sharing network among the libraries of Riyadh at the present time is both desirable and feasible. The national library of Saudi Arabia, King Fahad National Library, topped the list with 37.7% as the preferred leader and organizer of the network. No significant difference was found between the responses of the librarians and the users except on one case which is that of the interlibrary loan.

The aim of this masters thesis is to examine how communication structures within an inter-organisational network affect the network activities. Questions posed are: who communicates with whom; how does the communication structure affect information distribution; does the structure support the intended function of the network; are the participants satisfied with the information received; and how does the network structure affect the network sustainability. The theoretical starting point is the convergence model of communication applied in an analytic network context. Questionnaires were sent out to the network members and interviews were undertaken with some of the network participants. The Young peoples Reproductive Sexual Health and Rights YRSHR network was founded in 2000. MAMTA-Health Institute for Mother and Child took the initiative since there was a lack of organisations that targeted the group of adolescents. The network consists of approximately 90 NGO's located in five different Indian states. In each state there is a state facilitating agency, SFA that is responsible for co-ordinating the network activities. The SFAs are also responsible for information dissemination and collection of activity reports from the local organisations LO in the state. MAMTA acts as a co-ordinating agency for the entire network on a national level and functions as a gatekeeper between the different states. According to centrality analysis, MAMTA does not have control or influence over the communication in each state. We believe that it is important to have a continuous information exchange that is built upon the participation and mutual exchange by the network actors. The YRSHR-network is low in density and this may be an indication of the members low inclination to engage in network activities. Still, the members regarded the YRSHR-issues as important and the mutual exchange between members a priority. The communication structure is an effective way of disseminating information, but it does not support the members participation in the information exchange or the development of more complex network tasks. To assure the sustainability of the network, a feedback system where the members can document their experiences and knowledge would benefit the active participation in the information accumulation and thus help to sustain the network.

Although different authors mean different thing by the term "digital libraries," one common thread is that they include or are built around collections of digital objects. Digital libraries also provide services to large communities, one of which is almost always search. Digital library collections, however, have several characteristic features that make search difficult. They are typically very large. They typically involve many different kinds of objects, including but not limited to books, e-published documents, images, and hypertexts, and often including items as esoteric as subtitled videos, simulations, and entire scientific databases. Even within a category, these objects may have widely different formats and internal structure. Furthermore, they are typically in complex relationships with each other and with such non-library objects as persons, institutions, and events. Relationships are a common feature of traditional libraries in the form of "See / See also" pointers, hierarchical relationships among categories, and relations between bibliographic and non-bibliographic objects such as having an author or being on a subject. Binary relations (typically in the form of directed links) are a common representational tool in computer science for structures from trees and graphs to semantic networks. And in recent years the World-Wide Web has made the construct of linked information objects commonplace for millions. Despite this, relationships have rarely been given "first-class" treatment in digital library collections or software. MARIAN is a digital library system designed and built to store, search over, and retrieve large numbers of diverse objects in a network of relationships. It is designed to run efficiently over large collections of digital library objects. It addresses the problem of object diversity through a system of classes unified by common abilities including searching and presentation. Divergent internal structure is exposed and interpreted using a simple and powerful graphical representation, and varied format through a unified system of presentation. Most importantly, MARIAN collections are designed to specifically include relations in the form of an extensible collection of different sorts of links. This thesis presents MARIAN and argues that it is both effective and efficient. MARIAN is effective in that it provides new and useful functionality to digital library end-users, and in that it makes constructing, modifying, and combining collections easy for library builders and maintainers. MARIAN is efficient since it works from an abstract presentation of search over networked collections to define on the one hand common operations required to implement a broad class of search engines, and on the other performance standards for those operations. Although some operations involve a high minimum cost under the most general assumptions, lower costs can be achieved when additional constraints are present. In particular, it is argued that the statistics of digital library collections can be exploited to obtain significant savings. MARIAN is designed to do exactly that, and in evidence from early versions appears to succeed. In conclusion, MARIAN presents a powerful and flexible platform for retrieval on large, diverse collections of networked information, significantly extending the representation and search capabilities of digital libraries.

While IS research into on-line Inter-Personal (IP) Social Networks (SN) is highly visible, there has been surprisingly little focus on the use of on-line social networks for Inter-Organizational (IO) communications, interactions, and goal achievement. We explore the issues and challenges facing organizations in their design and use of inter-organizational social network information systems (IO SNIS). Artifact design principles are drawn from a new and insightful model that contrasts the advantages of existing innovative inter-personal (IP) SNIS artifacts with Social Network Theory on differences between IP and IO Social Networks. This research extends the existing streams of IS social networking research into the inter-organizational domain and encourages additional IS research into the analysis, design, and build of artifacts that animate the social behavior of organizations. We develop a key design concept for IO SNIS and establish the design principles underlying the general artifact design and the specific design features that apply the design constructs to an exemplar IO social domain. This dissertation uses Action Design Research (ADR) approach within the Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm to formulate the research opportunity and anticipate a practice-inspired and theory-ingrained artifact. The researcher works with a practitioner team in the domain of mid-market private equity (MMPE) to explore the model and evaluate existing on-line inter-organizational artifacts to establish specific design features for an IO SNIS artifact. We find that the design principles can generalize from the IO SNIS Design Concept Model to other IO Social domains and that the design features can be used to build an instantiation of IO SNIS in the Private Equity domain.

The aim of the research was to investigate the current state of scientific and technological (S&T) information service provision in Thailand with a focus on its role of supporting research and development. The ultimate goal of the research was to develop a service model(s) which could aid the modernisation of the S&T information service. The information policies and strategic management at national and institutional levels were examined together with present and future roles in service provision and barriers to S&T information development. The research framework was constructed on the basis of theoretical models of the provision and management of effective information services. The institutions which participated in this research included 46 academic and special libraries in Thailand, hereafter called S&T information centres, and two funding agencies. The data were collected using a variety of research tools, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, namely, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. The questionnaires were distributed to five groups of respondents: executives, managers, librarians or staff, end-users, and executives or policy-makers of funding agencies. Two hundred and eighty-nine questionnaires were sent by post to 45 S&T information centres and two funding agencies whilst 703 questionnaires were also distributed to end-users. Interviews were performed with 55 executives and library managers. Three focus groups were organised on different topics, with a total of 36 participants. The major findings showed that national information policy in relation to S&T information was still relatively ineffective with roles and responsibilities of stakeholders not explicitly identified. In general, the results showed that institutional information policies exist but weak communication between executives, managers, and staff caused problems with implementation and interpretation. Most S&T centres were found to have strategic plans. The focus of these were on issues of integrated ICT infrastructure, acquisition of electronic resources, service improvement, communication with users and feedback, user education, cost effective use of resources, E-library transition and knowledge sharing. The development of resource sharing via computerised networks was considered to be paramount; progress to date was thought to be slow due to a lack of policies at national and institutional levels. Users' information literacy was still found to be an issue, particularly in respect of making effective use of electronic resources. The thesis provided recommendations for a national network for S&T information provision to be designed and managed by a hosting provider.

A recent phenomenon within the library sector is that of User Experience (UX). Library and information practitioners are increasingly leaning towards letting their users help guide and organise library services by using UX methods to both evaluate existing services and to create new ones. Despite that an increased number of academic librarians are focusing on researching their Library UX, few studies have been done on this phenomenon, and none have focused on a Swedish context. In this thesis, the emerging phenomenon of Library UX is investigated by performing a qualitative case study at two academic libraries in Sweden. The posed research questions focus on four areas: what impacts the implementations of UX methods have on an academic library, how UX methods are learnt, if this new emphasis on Library UX will affect the user-librarian relationship and if something can be said about the future of Library UX. The main theory used is Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which together with the use of the Foucauldian perspective on knowledge/power has been employed to analyse the collected empirical data to further the understanding of the phenomenon. The findings are divided into two parts. Firstly, the case study depicting the results of the collected empirical data. Secondly, the ANT-analysis of the Library UX network is presented, which is based on the data collected in the case study. The main conclusions that can be drawn from this study are how UX methods are perceived by the informants as leading to improved library services. There is also a clear consensus among the informants on how the new perspective of the user presented within the Library UX framework will deepen the user centred focus even further at the libraries. Furthermore, the ANT-analysis shows how the phenomenon has primarily emerged through advocacy and how advocates have a central role in how knowledge about Library UX and UX methods are spread within the library world.
Ett nytt fenomen inom bibliotekssektorn är User Experience (UX). Bibliotekarier låter i allt högre grad sina användare vägleda dem i hur bibliotekets tjänster ska se ut, genom att använda UX metoder för att både utvärdera och skapa nya tjänster tillhandahållna av biblioteken. Trots att det är en ökning i antalet universitetsbibliotek som nu fokuserar på att undersöka sin Biblioteks-UX har få studier gjorts på ämnet, och ingen ur ett svenskt perspektiv. I den här uppsatsen har fenomenet Biblioteks-UX undersökts genom en kvalitativ fallstudie på två universitetsbibliotek i Sverige. Forskningsfrågorna som ställts i uppsatsen fokuserar på fyra områden: Biblioteks-UX påverkan på universitetsbiblioteken i stort, hur UX metoderna lärs ut, om detta nya fokus kommer påverka användar-bibliotekarierelationen och om något kan utrönas om Biblioteks-UX:s framtid. Den primära teorin som används är Aktör-Nätverksteori (ANT), vilken tillsammans med Foucaults perspektiv på kunskap/makt har använts för att analysera det insamlande empiriska materialet för att få en djupare förståelse av fenomenet. Undersökningen är uppdelad i två avsnitt. I den första delen presenteras fallstudien och i den andra delen presenteras ANT-analysen gjord på Biblioteks-UX nätverket. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga slutsatser är för det första att informanterna uppfattar att UX-metoderna leder till förbättrade bibliotekstjänster. För det andra visar studien att det finns en konsensus bland informanterna om att det nya användarperspektivet som föreslås inom Biblioteks-UX kommer leda till ett djupare användarfokus på biblioteken. ANT-analysen visar vidare att fenomenet framförallt sprids genom förespråkare och hur dessa förespråkare har en central roll i hur kunskapen om Biblioteks-UX och UX-metoder sprids inom biblioteksvärlden.

Research on personalization, including recommender systems, focuses on applications such as in online shopping malls and simple information systems. These systems consider user profile and item information obtained from data explicitly entered by users. There it is possible to classify items involved and to personalize based on a direct mapping from user or user group to item or item group. However, in complex, dynamic, and professional information systems, such as digital libraries, additional capabilities are needed to achieve personalization to support their distinctive features: large numbers of digital objects, dynamic updates, sparse rating data, biased rating data on specific items, and challenges in getting explicit rating data from users. For this reason, more research on implicit rating data is recommended, because it is easy to obtain, suffers less from terminology issues, is more informative, and contains more user-centered information. In previous reports on my doctoral work, I discussed collecting, storing, processing, and utilizing implicit rating data of digital libraries for analysis and decision support. This dissertation presents a visualization tool, VUDM (Visual User-model Data Mining tool), utilizing implicit rating data, to demonstrate the effectiveness of implicit rating data in characterizing users, user communities, and usage trends of digital libraries. The results of user studies, performed both with typical end-users and with library experts, to test the usefulness of VUDM, support that implicit rating data is useful and can be utilized for digital library analysis software, so that both end users and experts can benefit.

Subject of information entity is one of the fundamental concepts in the field of information science. Subject of any document represents its intellectual potential -- 'aboutness' of the document. Traditionally, subject (along with title and author) is the one of three major ways to access information, so subject metadata plays a central role in this process and the role is constantly growing. Previous research concluded that the larger bibliographic database is, the richer subject vocabularies and classification schemes are needed to support information discovery. Further, a high proportion of information objects are unretrievable without subject headings in metadata records. This exploratory study provides the analysis of the subject metadata in MARC 21 bibliographic records created in 2020; and develops understanding of the level and patterns of 'aboutness' representation in the MARC 21 bibliographic records. Study also examines how these records apply the recent RDA and MARC21 guidelines and features intended to support functionality in a Linked Data environment. Methods of Social Network Analysis were applied along with content analysis, to answer research questions of this study. Suggestions for future research, implications for education, and practical recommendations for library metadata creation and management are discussed.

Today’s library acquisition, circulation, metadata management, cataloging and administration of all kind of resources are too laborious and cannot be performed manually. These tasks are run by or with the help of an IT-system. This master thesis aims to start an analytical discussion of the modern library's central tool, library IT-systems, a discussion much missing in Library and Infor-mation Science. The data on two library IT-systems Alma and Sierra was collected by partici-pant observations, interviews and document studies at Karolinska institute university library and Södertörns university college library.The data was analyzed through actor-network theory perspective. The study’s main questions are how the library IT-system actor-network is assembled and function, and what role does the technology play in library’s practices.The study shows that a complex actor-network emerges in order to automate and computerize library tasks. In this actor-network library IT-systems vendors, the library community, KIB’s and SHB’s practices and the technology are actors who actively impact and affect each other. They are associated with each other through negotiations, a process in ANT referred to as translation. The study also shows that as the actors are not completely in agreement with each other, the library IT-system actor-network has not yet transformed into a fully convergent actor-network which ANT compares to a black box. The study shows that nonhumans, the IT-systems, are not neutral tools. They mediate, organize and document library practices. But they are also a product of modern library knowledge.The study concludes that the fully functioning solution for libraries automated and computer-ized services is the joined production of human and nonhuman actor-network where IT technology play a mediating role.

Rural communities have limited access to health information which is made available on the internet. This is due to poor infrastructure (i.e., lack of clinics or Internet access) and that gives them problems in accessing information within the domain of health. The availability of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in a rural community can provide the community with a number of beneficial solutions to their problems as they maximize the potential of knowledge sharing and delivery. This research seeks to make use of ICTs deployed in the community of Dwesa, in order to contribute to improving the health standards of the community. It seeks to accomplish this by carrying out an investigation and literature review with the aim of understanding health knowledge sharing dynamics in the context of marginalized communities. The knowledge acquired will then be used in the development and implementation of a semantic web-based e-Health portal as part of the Siyakhula Living Lab (SLL) project. This portal will share and deliver western medical knowledge, traditional knowledge and indigenous knowledge. This research seeks to make use of a combination of Free and/or Open Sources Software in developing the portal to make it affordable to the community.

Agriculture is not only a country’s backbone of food, livelihood and ecological security systems, but is also the very soul of its sovereignty. In Kerala population density is high and land is scarce. To achieve sustainable advancement in quality of human life, meeting the domestic food requirement is to be given foremost priority in development plans. As the area of cultivation cannot be increased and growth of population cannot be controlled growth in food production is to be achieved by qualitative improvement in farming. This requires improvements in material inputs, farming techniques, storage technology and research. Effective integration of these factors is tied closely to adequate information flow, which can be ensured only by an efficient information system for agricultural education, research, extension and development. So evaluation and improvement of existing information services is very crucial for sustainable agricultural growth. The study evaluates the existing information resources, facilities, services, possibilities for resource sharing, accessibility of external sources, and the factors that affect the quality and efficiency of information services in agricultural sector. Coverage is limited to the State of Kerala. Sample consist 105 institutions of different levels, and information users consisting of 426 scientists and 220 farmers. Different sets of questionnaires and interview schedule were used to elicit information. The study found that agricultural research conducted at various institutions in the region at huge public expense has generated knowledge for improving production. Along with these huge collections of acquired content is also stored in the sector. But when a farmer, an extension worker, a scientist or an administrator needs information it is not easily accessible. The study found that agricultural sector fails to effectively bank on information resources available due to the lack of an information system and network. Recommends an Agricultural and Farm Information System for Kerala. Suggests a model plan for a computer communication network for resource sharing between the agricultural institutions in the State, which will also ensure, smooth flow of results of research down to the grassroots level to achieve maximum productivity in agriculture.

Introduction. The purpose is to discuss values, expressed in the architecture and planning documents of four recent cultural centres in Sweden, and how these values influence the public libraries. Method. The method is a case study using content analysis of documents from all four cities and empirical findings from observations in Askersund and Värnamo. Analysis. The theoretical perspectives are based on the theories of fields and doxa by Pierre Bourdieu and the theory of space by David Harvey. Results. From around the year 2000 cultural centres were built increasingly with the aim to support creativity and place branding. Twenty years later that trend has been strengthened and cultural centres are being built as architectural portraits of cities, supporting tourism, innovation and economic growth. Town squares are symbols for meetings, markets and democracy. The names and physical appearance of Sjöängen, Gummifabriken, Sara kulturhus and Karls Krona represent local history and the architects have also expressed values about sustainability and functional estetics. The public libraries seem to benefit from being located within these new cultural centres as regards to lending statistics and programmes for the public. The mission for democracy, the principle of free entry and the intrinsic value of literature, however, must be preserved in today´s amusement park like style of cultural centres. This is a two year master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

The dissertation research explores an approach to automatic concept-based query expansion to improve search engine performance. It uses a network-based approach for identifying the concept represented by the user's query and is founded on the idea that a collection-specific association thesaurus can be used to create a reasonable representation of all the concepts within the document collection as well as the relationships these concepts have to one another. Because the representation is generated using data from the association thesaurus, a mapping will exist between the representation of the concepts and the terms used to describe these concepts. The research applies to search engines designed for use in an individual website with content focused on a specific conceptual domain. Therefore, both the document collection and the subject content must be well-bounded, which affords the ability to make use of techniques not currently feasible for general purpose search engine used on the entire web.

Following the economic downturn in the late 1990s the Government of Thailand restructured the economy resulting in rapid economic recovery. The society now needs developments to project it into the Information Age. This study is but one creative response to this need. To initiate the study, an extensively validated Questionnaire was implemented with a snowball sample comprising 500 representative, non-randomised respondents from the four provinces of the Inpeng Community Network (ICN). The purpose of the Questionnaire was to ascertain levels of information needs and local knowledge, and to identify ten local experts from ICN for subsequent In-depth Interviews. Data obtained in this way were analysed then classified into a retrievable form of knowledge. A model community information database system (CIDS) was then designed, installed and trialled with a convenience sample of 165 variously prepared respondents using computers in six CLC. Semi-structured Interviews then provided additional data on information needs and refinement of the model CIDS. Respondents saw this refined CIDS as having the potential to be emulated by other rural communities, and in particular, to be a valuable technological tool suitable for dissemination throughout ICN. Respondents believed that community development and empowerment would be enhanced by CIDS, enabling individual problems to be dealt with effectively, and sustainable development to be achieved.

The rapid evolution and popularity of the Internet technologies, and the World Wide Web, have resulted in unrestricted worldwide access to medical and health information. This has provided the medical profession with the ability to access up to date research more immediately than by traditional means, and has created the potential for advanced information collation. Also the availability of medical literature, previously difficult to obtain for the general public, is having an effect that is both a benefit and a burden to the medical profession. Whilst benefits exist in the use of the Internet in General Practice for clinical support, communication and education, there are also barriers to its inclusion in daily clinical practice. These include the issues of security, access availability, quality, time, research experience and Internet navigation familiarity. Questions remain as to whether or not the Internet can be used in General Practice efficiently, in order to provide a significant advantage over traditional information dissemination methods. This issue is also relevant for other primary health care providers such as pharmacists. In Australia, there has been a relatively slow adoption of both the technology and the use of the Internet for acquiring clinical and medical information. This thesis investigates the current issues surrounding the use of the Internet in general practice and pharmacy in Western Australia. The underlying assumption that the Internet is a useful tool for such information retrieval is examined in terms of useability and usefulness in clinical practice. Further the attitudes to the use of the Internet technology as an effective medium of information delivery were sought.

Collaboration between faculty and librarians is an important topic of discussion and research among academic librarians. These partnerships between faculty and librarians are vital for enabling students to become lifelong learners through their information literacy education. This research developed an understanding of academic collaborators by analyzing a community college faculty's teaching social networks. A teaching social network, an original term generated in this study, is comprised of communications that influence faculty when they design and deliver their courses. The communication may be formal (e.g., through scholarly journals and professional development activities) and informal (e.g., through personal communication) through their network elements. Examples of the elements of a teaching social network may be department faculty, administration, librarians, professional development, and students. This research asked 'What is the nature of faculty's teaching social networks and what are the implications for librarians?' This study moves forward the existing research on collaboration, information literacy, and social network analysis. It provides both faculty and librarians with added insight into their existing and potential relationships. This research was undertaken using mixed methods. Social network analysis was the quantitative data collection methodology and the interview method was the qualitative technique. For the social network analysis data, a survey was sent to full-time faculty at Las Positas College, a community college, in California. The survey gathered the data and described the teaching social networks for faculty with respect to their teaching methods and content taught. Semi-structured interviews were conducted following the survey with a sub-set of survey respondents to understand why specific elements were included in their teaching social networks and to learn of ways for librarians to become an integral part of the teaching social networks. The majority of the faculty respondents were moderately influenced by the elements of their network except the majority of the potentials were weakly influenced by the elements in their network in their content taught. The elements with the most influence on both teaching methods and content taught were students, department faculty, professional development, and former graduate professors and coursework. The elements with the least influence on both aspects were public or academic librarians, and social media. The most popular roles for the elements were conversations about teaching, sharing ideas, tips for teaching, insights into teaching, suggestions for ways of teaching, and how to engage students. Librarians' weakly influenced faculty in their teaching methods and their content taught. The motivating factors for collaboration with librarians were that students learned how to research, students' research projects improved, faculty saved time by having librarians provide the instruction to students, and faculty built strong working relationships with librarians. The challenges of collaborating with librarians were inadequate teaching techniques used when librarians taught research orientations and lack of time. Ways librarians can be more integral in faculty's teaching social networks included: more workshops for faculty, more proactive interaction with faculty, and more one-on-one training sessions for faculty. Some of the recommendations for the librarians from this study were develop a strong rapport with faculty, librarians should build their services in information literacy from the point of view of the faculty instead of from the librarian perspective, use staff development funding to attend conferences and workshops to improve their teaching, develop more training sessions for faculty, increase marketing efforts of the librarian's instructional services, and seek grant opportunities to increase funding for the library. In addition, librarians and faculty should review the definitions of information literacy and move from a skills based interpretation to a learning process.

Emanating in a Swedish and British context, this study seeks to map and discuss contemporary performative tendencies within the countries’ respective open access movements. This is done through a Posthumanist and Material-Semiotic analysis of nine research funders policy documents for open access to scientific results. Using an actor-network-theoretical apparatus of concepts, the study seeks to assess actors, actants, intermediaries, mediators, agencies, connections and networks in the policy documents of the respective research funders. The study therefore aspires to illuminate the complexities of these networks, similarities and differences between the two countries’ networks and what these networks can say about contemporary tendencies within the Swedish and British open access movements respectively. Actors with their associated agencies and performative connections are analysed and compiled in tables according to the respective research funders. The output is thereafter visualised in a schematic network model and the performative tendencies are assessed. While Swedish council Vetenskapsrådet is defined as a ”spider in the web” of the research funder network, the British network is more fragmentary. As for Bioscientific networks, the Swedish network is of a more peripheral sort while the British consists of sprawling nodes. Within Health Science, there is for both countries a clear direction towards the fortification of infrastructures for data deposition. This can also be said regarding the deposition of monographs in Social Science and the Humanities. These tendencies are discussed in light of international open access research. It is proposed that research funders, libraries and other professionals active within the open access movements considers these tendencies in the forming of service activities. It is also emphasized that similar studies ought to be done in order to further map open access-networks. Two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

Cette thèse étudie la période de transition associée à l’externalisation d’une activité d’une organisation vers une autre et a pour objectif de décrire la manière dont un dispositif de contrôle hybride entre marché et hiérarchie émerge au cours de cette période. Pour ce faire, nous nous sommes appuyé sur une étude in situ de quinze mois d’un projet mondial d’externalisation de l’activité IT d’un client auprès de trois centres de services mutualisés d’un prestataire. La description du terrain s’articule autour de deux voies de passage conceptuelles ancrées dans l’Actor Network Theory. La première propose de partir de la Théorie des Coûts de Transaction pour aller vers une « économie des coûts de traduction ». La seconde avance le concept d’accumulation de petits points de contrôle fondée sur l’étude d’un « contrôle en train de se faire » (Vosselman & Van der Meer-Kooistra, 2006). La description de la phase de transition émet l’idée que les coûts de traduction et l’accumulation de petits points de contrôle forment un « registre en double » permettant de tracer le mouvement de co-construction de la prestation de services et du dispositif de contrôle associé. Au cours de cette période, les faits locaux furent circonscrits par l’équipe projet pour les ramener au sein du centre de services mutualisés. Ce travail permit d’amorcer un cycle d’accumulation des connaissances. Ce mouvement rendit progressivement le projet et la prestation de services plus réels, mais au prix d’un éloignement irrémédiable avec ce qui avait été spécifié dans le contrat. Dorénavant, le coût pour agir à distance était réduit et le centre de services mutualisés pouvait a priori être considéré comme un dispositif « économe ». Cependant, le processus d’externalisation conduisit à une transformation profonde de l’activité externalisée et de l’identité des différents groupes d’acteurs associés. La comparaison entre les deux situations, avant et après l’externalisation, était rendue complexe du fait de l’existence des coûts de traduction inhérents au passage du contrat au dispositif sociotechnique nécessaire à la réalisation de la prestation de services
This dissertation is dedicated to the transition period related to the outsourcing of an activity from an organization to another one. Its objective is to describe the emergence of a hybrid control device between market and hierarchy. We studied during 15 months a global IT outsourcing project from a client to three customers’ shared service centers. The field analysis is based on two “conceptual ways” grounded in Actor Network Theory. The first moves from Transaction Cost Economics to “Translation Cost Economy”. The second one puts forward the concept of small points of control accumulation responding to Vosselman & Van der Meer-Kooistra’s call to investigate “control in the making” (2006). The transition phase shed light on the proposition that costs of translation and small points of control accumulation created a “double register” tracing the movement of services co-construction and the related control device emergence. The local facts were framed by the project team and brought into one of the shared IT service center. An accumulation cycle of knowledge was running. This movement made both the project and the service actual but at the cost of translating the initial service defined by the contract. The price to act at distance was reduced and the shared IT service center could be considered as “economic”. However, the outsourcing process led to a transformation of the IT activity and modified the identity of the groups of actors. The comparison between the two situations, before and after outsourcing, was made difficult because of translation costs inherent to the transformation of the contract into a socio-technical device implemented to deliver the service

Modeling the "thick description" of photographs began at the intersection of personal and institutional descriptions. Comparing institutional descriptions of particular photos that were also used in personal online conversations was the initial phase. Analyzing conversations that started with a photographic image from the collection of the Library of Congress (LC) or the collection of the Manchester Historic Association (MHA) provided insights into how cultural heritage institutions could enrich the description of photographs by using informal descriptions such as those applied by Facebook users. Taking photos of family members, friends, places, and interesting objects is something people do often in their daily lives. Some photographic images are stored, and some are shared with others in gatherings, occasions, and holidays. Face-to-face conversations about remembering some of the details of photographs and the event they record are themselves rarely recorded. Digital cameras make it easy to share personal photos in Web conversations and to duplicate old photos and share them on the Internet. The World Wide Web even makes it simple to insert images from cultural heritage institutions in order to enhance conversations. Images have been used as tokens within conversations along with the sharing of information and background knowledge about them. The recorded knowledge from conversations using photographic images on Social Media (SM) has resulted in a repository of rich descriptions of photographs that often include information of a type that does not result from standard archival practices. Closed group conversations on Facebook among members of a community of interest/practice often involve the use of photographs to start conversations, convey details, and initiate story-telling about objets, events, and people. Modeling of the conversational use of photographic images on SM developed from the exploratory analyses of the historical photographic images of the Manchester, NH group on Facebook. The model was influenced by the typical model of Representation by Agency from O'Connor in O'Connor, Kearns, and Anderson Doing Things with Information: Beyond Indexing and Abstracting, by considerations of how people make and use photographs, and by the notion of functionality from Patrick Wilson's Public Knowledge, Private Ignorance: Toward a Library and Information Policy. The model offers paths for thickening the descriptions of photographs in archives and for enriching the use of photographs on social media.

Créé en 1972 par l'adoption de la Convention concernant la protection du patrimoine mondial, culturel et naturel, le patrimoine mondial a connu en 40 ans une croissance importante, qui s'est accélérée ces dernières années. D'abord le résultat de préoccupations d'experts après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il est devenu l'élément incontournable et prestigieux d'une culture qui s'internationalise au rythme virtuel des nouvelles technologies, des flux mondiaux et de l'ère numérique. Mais il semble également représenter un ancrage de plus en plus marqué à la fois dans la matérialité des sites, toujours plus nombreux sur la célèbre liste, et dans leur unicité. Parmi l'ensemble de ces sites, les centres historiques connaissent des situations où l'inscription ajoute un niveau de complexité supplémentaire aux tensions déjà existantes et caractéristiques de ces ensembles urbains. Ainsi, la reconnaissance internationale et la hausse du tourisme ou les espoirs de développement local qu'elle paraît entraîner semblent transformer physiquement l'environnement urbain, mais aussi ses usages et sa population, entre autres. Le plus souvent, la réflexion à propos de ces sites s'intéresse donc à l'aménagement et à la gestion du site transformé, où les habitants sont un élément parmi d'autres à ordonner, avec l'objectif de préserver le site tout en profitant des retombées économiques de son exploitation touristique. Cette recherche tente au contraire d'examiner comment ces sites se transforment et comment ils deviennent du patrimoine mondial, en postulant que cette approche peut en permettre une meilleure compréhension. Elle propose en outre que ce processus de patrimonialisation n'est pas seulement le fait des autorités, mais qu'il repose aussi sur les habitants qui continuent de donner un sens à ces espaces urbains. En effet, le patrimoine est entendu ici comme une construction sociale résultant de la production de représentations par les groupes sociaux qui le revendiquent. La compréhension de ce processus de patrimonialisation nécessite donc que le chercheur débute par la mise en évidence des différentes représentations patrimoniales qui composent la signification symbolique du patrimoine. Le site choisi pour cette étude, le centre historique de la ville d'Arequipa au Pérou, répond à la volonté de se concentrer sur une région où la conception du patrimoine urbain est particulière, plus sociale et plus inclusive des habitants, et où les enjeux urbains sont exacerbés par des contrastes forts entre richesse et pauvreté, entre les centres-villes et les périphéries, entre des cultures urbaines et rurales. Parmi les différentes villes de la région dont une partie est inscrite au patrimoine mondial, Arequipa répond aux critères de faisabilité définis pour cette recherche afin d'en atteindre les objectifs. L'étude s'inscrit dans une perspective phénoménologique et propose une herméneutique de la patrimonialisation, c'est-à-dire une interprétation des représentations patrimoniales à partir de leur contexte de production, permettant de restituer les différents processus de patrimonialisation et ainsi de comprendre l'évolution des valeurs patrimoniales et des transformations qui y sont liées. Pour ce faire une méthode historico-interprétative d'analyse contextualisée des données recueillies dans les documents, par l'observation et par des entretiens, est utilisée. Cette analyse souhaite ainsi contribuer au développement des études patrimoniales en proposant une approche herméneutique qui puisse servir à d'autres travaux. Cette recherche démontre que la patrimonialisation du site du patrimoine mondial du centre historique d'Arequipa est un processus hybride, à la fois physique et symbolique, institutionnel et social, global et local. Elle met en évidence la construction de représentations patrimoniales liées à l'inscription, mais aussi la reconstruction a posteriori d'une continuité historique entre les représentations issues de différents processus de patrimonialisation. Elle montre enfin que les interventions sur l'environnement bâti sont plutôt le résultat de l'expression des valeurs patrimoniales qui lui sont attribuées que la recherche d'un état de conservation particulier. Ce travail permet aussi de dégager certains effets liés moins au site lui-même et plus à la reconnaissance en tant que patrimoine mondial. Au-delà de l'effet d'hybridation déjà évoqué, on remarque une exacerbation des caractéristiques du site, antérieures à son inscription. Par ailleurs, il semble que le lien entre patrimoine mondial et tourisme amène les autorités locales et la population à prendre en compte, dans leurs interventions, les attentes supposées des touristes qu'ils espèrent attirer. Cette mise en abyme des représentations conférerait au patrimoine mondial un caractère « métapatrimonial ». Enfin, d'autres conséquences de l'inscription semblent exister, bien qu'elles n'aient pas été confirmées par cette étude, notamment en termes économiques et fonciers. Ces effets pourraient sans doute faire l'objet d'autres études, concernant d'autres sites, pour en comprendre le rôle dans le processus de patrimonialisation. Quant au site du centre historique d'Arequipa, son évolution et sa patrimonialisation se poursuivent afin de lui permettre de continuer à correspondre à sa valeur universelle exceptionnelle. ______________________________________________________________________________

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le domaine de la recherche d’information (RI) et la recommandation de lecture. Elle a pour objets :— La création de nouvelles approches de recherche de documents utilisant des techniques de combinaison de résultats, d’agrégation de données sociales et de reformulation de requêtes ;— La création d’une approche de recommandation utilisant des méthodes de RI et les graphes entre les documents. Deux collections de documents ont été utilisées. Une collection qui provient de l’évaluation CLEF (tâche Social Book Search - SBS) et la deuxième issue du domaine des sciences humaines et sociales (OpenEdition, principalement Revues.org). La modélisation des documents de chaque collection repose sur deux types de relations :— Dans la première collection (CLEF SBS), les documents sont reliés avec des similarités calculées par Amazon qui se basent sur plusieurs facteurs (achats des utilisateurs, commentaires, votes, produits achetés ensemble, etc.) ;— Dans la deuxième collection (OpenEdition), les documents sont reliés avec des relations de citations (à partir des références bibliographiques).Le manuscrit est structuré en deux parties. La première partie «état de l’art» regroupe une introduction générale, un état de l’art sur la RI et sur les systèmes de recommandation. La deuxième partie «contributions» regroupe un chapitre sur la détection de comptes rendus de lecture au sein de la collection OpenEdition (Revues.org), un chapitre sur les méthodes de RI utilisées sur des requêtes complexes et un dernier chapitre qui traite l’approche de recommandation proposée qui se base sur les graphes
This thesis deals with the field of information retrieval and the recommendation of reading. It has for objects:— The creation of new approach of document retrieval and recommendation using techniques of combination of results, aggregation of social data and reformulation of queries;— The creation of an approach of recommendation using methods of information retrieval and graph theories.Two collections of documents were used. First one is a collection which is provided by CLEF (Social Book Search - SBS) and the second from the platforms of electronic sources in Humanities and Social Sciences OpenEdition.org (Revues.org). The modelling of the documents of every collection is based on two types of relations:— For the first collection (SBS), documents are connected with similarity calculated by Amazon which is based on several factors (purchases of the users, the comments, the votes, products bought together, etc.);— For the second collection (OpenEdition), documents are connected with relations of citations, extracted from bibliographical references.We show that the proposed approaches bring in most of the cases gain in the performances of research and recommendation. The manuscript is structured in two parts. The first part "state of the art" includes a general introduction, a state of the art of informationretrieval and recommender systems. The second part "contributions" includes a chapter on the detection of reviews of books in Revues.org; a chapter on the methods of IR used on complex queries written in natural language and last chapter which handles the proposed approach of recommendation which is based on graph

Partiu-se do pressuposto que a interação entre ensino e pesquisa é fundamental para garantir um ensino de qualidade e que, na Ciência da Informação, a pesquisa não pode prescindir do conhecimento produzido no campo profissional, celeiro fundamental para novas pesquisas e avanço do conhecimento. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese de que, embora a pesquisa no Brasil seja desenvolvida principalmente nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu, docentes dos cursos de Biblioteconomia não integrados aos programas de pós-graduação também desenvolvem pesquisas, mas com foco nas experiências profissionais, cujo lócus de divulgação e discussão são os eventos acadêmico-profissionais, que possibilitam redes de colaboração diferentes daquelas propiciadas pelos fóruns de discussões da pesquisa na pós-graduação e representam potencial importante de produção de conhecimento para reflexão e sistematização não apenas de profissionais, mas também de compartilhamento entre docentes da graduação e da pós-graduação. Utilizou-se a metodologia de Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) em conjunto com técnicas bibliométricas. A produção científica de 116 docentes ativos foi coletada na Plataforma Lattes e complementada com informações do ResearchGate e Google Acadêmico, num período que abrange as duas últimas avaliações da Capes (triênio 2010-2012 e o quadriênio 2013-2016). Resultados confirmam parcialmente a hipótese e mostram que dos 46 docentes não vinculados aos programas de pós-graduação, onze (23,9%) não apresentaram qualquer produção no período analisado. Tal dado é preocupante, considerando que as alterações do mundo do trabalho, com aspectos de jurisdição das profissões em discussão, têm colocado contínuos desafios para as profissões de informação. A pesquisa revela também que 90,6% dos docentes dos cursos de Biblioteconomia do Estado de São Paulo (vinculados ou não aos programas de pós-graduação) têm se preocupado com pesquisa e apresentação de trabalhos de caráter científico, acadêmico ou profissional e mantêm redes de colaboração com diferentes autores, embora os aspectos de internacionalização estejam restritos a poucas instituições, notadamente espanholas. A pesquisa contribui para a compreensão da colaboração científica dos docentes dos cursos de Biblioteconomia do estado de São Paulo, comparando os comportamentos dos docentes vinculados e aqueles não vinculados aos programas de pós-graduação e possibilitou externalizar a estreita ligação entre a atividade de pesquisa e a atividade profissional na área de Biblioteconomia, além da relação intrínseca entre o ensino e a pesquisa.
The study presents an overview of the production and scientific collaboration networks from professors of the courses of Library Science of Institutions of Higher Education of the State of São Paulo and the intersection between the production and scientific communication of the teachers linked only to graduate courses and those linked both to graduate and posgraduate. It was assumed that the interaction between learning and research is essential to assure a high-quality learning and that, on the Information Science, the research can\'t ignore the knowledge produced on the professional field, which is a main silo for new researches and the advancement of knowledge. It was considered the hypothesis that, while research in Brazil is developed mainly on the posgraduate stricto sensu, the professor from the Library Science courses not integrated to the posgraduate also develop researches, but with a focus on the professional experiences, whose locus of disclosure and discussion are the academic/professional events, that allow collaboration networks different from those provided by the forums of research discussion on the graduation and represent an important potential of knowledge production for thinking and systematization, not only from professionals, but from sharing between graduate and posgraduate teachers. It was used the Social Network Analysis methodology, along with Bibliometric techniques. The scientific production 116 active professors was collected from the Lattes Platform and implemented with information from ResearchGate and Google Academics, on an interval that comprehends the last two assessments from Capes (three-year period from 2010-2012 and four-year period from 2013-2016). The results confirm, in part, the hypothesis and show that, from the 46 teachers that are not linked to the posgraduate, eleven (23,9%) did not present any publication on the analyzed interval. This is an alarming data, considering that the changes on the workplace, with jurisdictional aspects of the professions under discussion, have placed many challenges for the information professions. The research also shows that 90,6% of the teachers from Library Science on the state of São Paulo (whether linked to the posgraduate or not) have cared about the research and presentation of scientific, academic or professional works, and they maintain collaboration networks with different authors, although the internationalization process is limited to a few institutions, mainly the Spanish ones. The research contributes to the compreension of scientific collaboration between professors of the courses of Library Science of Higher Education of the State of São Paulo, comparing the behavior of teachers integrated and not integrated to the posgraduate and enable to outsource the close connection between research activities and professional activities of Library Science, and also between learning and research in this area.

This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.

Nous présenterons dans le cadre de cette thèse les résultats d'une étude qualitative basée sur deux logiciels (HôpitalManager et CURSUS 3), implantés à la clinique La Sagesse de Rennes ; étude qui a pour objectif, de souligner les enjeuxcommunicationnels que pose ces outils dans les pratiques cliniques. Ces outils sont considérés aujourd'hui comme des dispositifs de modernisation, de rationalisation, de changementdes pratiques, et des interactions entre le patient, le médecin et les dispensateurs de soins. Ainsi, notre objectif est donc demontrer qu'en plus des enjeux techniques, managériaux, politiques et économiques qui sont identifiés par de nombreuxchercheurs, il existe des défis en termes de communication.Les interrogations que nous soulèverons du point de vue de la recherche en Science de l'Information et de la Communication, autour de ces processus de rationalisation, s'inscriront dans une problématique de changementorganisationnel, de circulation d'information ou encore de normalisation des pratiques professionnelles. Dans cespréoccupations, la technologie déduit tout son raisonnement à partir d'une seule prémisse, celle de la performativité dans les organisations. Ce que nous retenons des travaux d'Orlikowski, réside dans le fait que ce qui compte pour évaluer l'efficacité et la performance d'une technologie n'est pas l'artefact technologique, mais c'est la technologie en pratique(Orlikowski, 2000). Ainsi, notre objectif est de montrer que le discours médico-intégratif, est un énoncé performatif quirepose sur des modalités de communication

La tesis se encarga de analizar, por un lado, la integración y el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías en la Administración de Justicia; y, por otro, los parámetros que constituyen la validez y eficacia del documento electrónico.
La primera cuestión se centra en la configuración de los Sistemas de Información de la Oficina Judicial y del Ministerio Fiscal, así como de la informatización de los Registros Civiles, donde el art. 230 LOPJ es la pieza clave. Se estudian sus programas, aplicaciones, la videoconferencia, los ficheros judiciales y las redes de telecomunicaciones que poseen la cobertura de la firma electrónica reconocida, donde cobran gran relevancia los convenios de colaboración tecnológica. La digitalización de las vistas quizá sea una de las cuestiones con más trascendencia, teniendo en cuenta que el juicio es el acto que culmina el proceso. Aunque no todos los proyectos adoptados en el ámbito de la e.justicia se han desarrollado de forma integral, ni han llegado a la totalidad de los órganos judiciales. El objetivo final es lograr una Justicia más ágil y de calidad, a lo cual aspira el Plan Estratégico de Modernización de la Justicia 2009-2012 aprobado recientemente.
En referencia a la segunda perspectiva, no cabe duda que el Ordenamiento jurídico y los tribunales, en el ámbito de la justicia material, otorgan plena validez y eficacia al documento electrónico. Nuestra línea de investigación se justifica porque cada vez son más los procesos que incorporan soportes electrónicos de todo tipo, ya sea al plantearse la acción o posteriormente como medio de prueba (art. 299.2 LEC). Entre otros temas examinamos el documento informático, la problemática que rodea al fax, los sistemas de videograbación y el contrato electrónico.
La tesi s'encarrega d'analitzar, per una part, la integració i el desenvolupament de les noves tecnologies dins l´Administració de Justícia; i, per l'altra, els paràmetres que constitueixen la validesa i l'eficàcia del document electrònic.
La primera qüestió es centra en la configuració dels Sistemes d´Informació de l´Oficina Judicial i del Ministeri Fiscal, així com de la informatització dels Registres Civils, on l'art. 230 LOPJ es la peça clau. S'estudien els seus programes, aplicacions, la videoconferència, el fitxers judicials i les xarxes de telecomunicacions que tenen la cobertura de la firma electrònica reconeguda, on cobren gran rellevància els convenis de col·laboració tecnològica. La digitalització de les vistes tal vegada sigui una de les qüestions amb més transcendència, tenint amb compte que el judici es l'acte que culmina el procés. Però no tots el projectes adoptats en l'àmbit de la e.justicia s'han desenvolupat d'una manera integral ni han arribat a la totalitat dels òrgans judicials. L'objectiu final es assolir una Justícia més àgil i de qualitat, al que aspira el Pla Estratègic de Modernització de la Justícia 2009-2012 aprovat recentment.
En referència a la segona perspectiva, no hi ha dubte que l´Ordenament jurídic i els tribunals, en l'àmbit de la justícia material, donen plena validesa i eficàcia al document electrònic. La nostra línia d'investigació es justifica perquè cada vegada son més el processos que incorporen suports electrònics de tot tipus, ja sigui quant es planteja l'acció o posteriorment como a medi de prova (art. 299.2 LEC). Entre altres temes examinem el document informàtic, la problemàtica que envolta al fax, els sistemes de videogravació i el contracte electrònic.
The thesis seeks to analyse, on the one hand, the integration and development of the new technologies in the Administration of Justice; and, on the other, the parameters which constitute the validity and efficiency of the electronic document.
The first question centres on the configuration of the Information Systems of the Judicial Office and the Public Prosecutor, as well as the computerisation of the Civil Registers, where the art. 230 LOPJ it's the part key. Their programmes, applications, the Video Conferencing, the judicial registers and the telecommunication networks which are covered by the recognised electronic signatures, are studied, where the agreements on technological collaboration gain great relevance. The digitalisation of evidence might perhaps be one of the questions with most consequence, bearing in mind that the judgment is the act by which the process is culminated. Although not all the projects adopted within the compass of e.justice have developed completely nor have reached all the judicial organs. The final objective is to achieve an agile, quality Justice, to which the recently approved Strategic Plan for the Modernisation of Justice aspires.
With reference to the second perspective, there is no doubt that the juridical Ordinance and the tribunals within the compass of material justice grant full validity and efficacy to the electronic document. Our line of investigation is justified because there are more and more processes which are sustained by electronic supports of all kinds, whether it be at the establishment of the action or later, as a proof of it (art. 299.2 LEC). Amongst other things, we examine the computerised document, the problems which surround the fax, the systems for video recording and the electronic contract.

Public library systems in India are not so effective due to lack of efficient resource sharing and networking to achieve optimum utility of resources as well as to provide need based services. The present library system can be improved by application of ICT and enabling participation. A Kerala Public Library Network (KPLNET), and use of an integrated library automation package in all public libraries can achieve this. The web portal of the Public Library Network maintained by Kerala State Library Council the controlling organization can extend the use of resources and accessibility of the system transcending time and space. Sharing of resources will be much easier through KPLNET. Public can easily access the services through this system for borrowing books, searching of catalogue, e-reading etc. KPLNET can provide the public easy access to the data online. Through multi user licences to acquired content, and introducing resource-sharing programmes the public libraries can reduce their expenses and boost the services. The individual village libraries can develop content on local aspects, which can be pooled by KPLNET. The major objective of the KPLNET will be to unite all public libraries in the State under a single umbrella. Kerala State Library Council (KSLC) controlling more than 7000 public libraries will be the implementing agency for KPNNET. KSLC can perform more effectively once it implements the proposed KPLN. This project suggests e-governance of public libraries under KSLC with a library network using a web enabled system that act as an interactive public interface to enable the public for participation in governance of libraries and also for effective utilization of the library resources.

Citation analysis has long been adopted to visually present a knowledge domain. Drawing from thesis committee membership data, the study took a social analytical approach to analyze the social and intellectual structure of the field of LIS (Library and Information Science in Taiwan). Specifically, the study attempt to study: firstly, the faculty collaboration network; and secondly, the degree and nature of inter- disciplinary collaboration, as reflected in the composition of the thesis committees. A total 751 Master’s theses published by the eight LIS in the periods from 2006 to 2011 were analyzed. Data extracted included the composition of each committee member- ship and research topics covered in these theses. Furthermore, data about the faculty’s background were also collected, including gender, seniority, department affiliation, highest degree received, with which the faculty’s degree of interdisciplinary collaboration, as reflected in the thesis committee they appeared, could be analyzed. With the theses committee composition data, networks of faculty collaboration were generated where each faulty member were represented by a node, and the strength of their collaboration was represented by the frequency of their co-appeared in these committees. Various network measures, such as centrality, clustering coefficient, E-I index were used to study the cohesion of each department and the LIS filed as a whole. Three diversity measures: Shannon, Simpson, and Gini coefficient, were used to assess the degree of interdisciplinarity of each department and faculty. Regression analyses showed that the number of these advised, seniority, and thesis topic diversity were the significant predictor of a faculty’s centrality in the LIS network.

The objective of the study was an evaluation of the Tembaletu Resource Center within the Tembaletu Community Education Center. The Resource Center was evaluated in terms of its objectives. Each objective formed the basis for the subsequent research questions. The evaluation was from the perspectives of the three major user groups namely the teachers, the registered students and outside users. A survey was conducted whereby information was obtained from each group by means of a semi-structured questionnaire. Major findings in terms of the objectives were: many teachers, students and the general users use the Resource Center to read books and study, teachers read literacy books, many users have never bought literacy books for sale as many were unaware of this service, resource-based work has been given to students by teachers and this was seen to be a worthwhile exercise, more than half of the users had not borrowed educational videos, users had found information that helped them solve their personal problems although many users had never used the computer to access information. Lack of awareness of many of the services by users was indicated and was regarded as the stumbling block to the full use of the Resource Center. Recommendations based on the findings of the evaluation were made and this was followed by suggestions for further research.
