The Interim Evaluation Method Of The National Project For Institutional Repositories In Japan, Yuko Murakami Jun 2007

The Interim Evaluation Method Of The National Project For Institutional Repositories In Japan, Yuko Murakami

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, Japan, was founded in April 2000 as an inter-university research institute. Its cyberscience infrastructure (CSI) initiative aims at providing industrial and social contributions as well as a base for international cooperation on scientific research. The initiative includes projects focusing on: networks, grid research, interuniversity public key infrastructure (UPKI), and scholarly content services. The project for institutional repositories (IRs), begun in 2004, is placed in the main focus of the CSI content project. In 2006, as the CSI initiative has put more emphasis on content services, NII began working with 57 universities to construct …


The Brazilian Model For Free Access To Scientific Publications, Pablo Ortellado, Jorge Machado Jun 2007

The Brazilian Model For Free Access To Scientific Publications, Pablo Ortellado, Jorge Machado

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Although Brazil lacks a cohesive national policy for free access to scientific publications, local initiatives by universities, funding agencies and state and federal government make up the framework for a full policy for free access. The paper aims at putting together the pieces and presenting a general picture of what such policy might be: free access to all Brazilian theses and dissertations through digital repositories; institutional protection for the copying of books for academic purposes; fomenting publicly funded peer-reviewed non author fee free access journals; qualitative (instead of quantitative/ impact based) evaluation for scientists publishing in free access journals. The …

Session 2 - Societal-Consciousness In The Computing Curricula: A Time For Serious Introspection, Daniel Moix, Srini Ramaswamy Jun 2007

Session 2 - Societal-Consciousness In The Computing Curricula: A Time For Serious Introspection, Daniel Moix, Srini Ramaswamy

International Symposium on Technology and Society

This paper addresses the growing need for inculcating appropriate ethics within the computing curriculum by fostering the development of a societally-conscious ethical framework among our students to address the use of information technology vis-à-vis government, business and society. We propose a new integrated model based approach (IDEA) and suggest its adoption to encourage students on reflecting upon the social and ethical ramifications of technology, beyond the narrow, project focused tunnel vision that currently (subliminally) exists in many computing curricula, and in particular, in today’s profit-focused, consulting and contract-based software industry.


The Disincentive Of E-Only, Alice Keller May 2007

The Disincentive Of E-Only, Alice Keller

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper outlines the issues libraries face as they consider the transition from print (or hybrid) to electronic-only for journal literature. Although many library managers – in particular in the STM area – are keen to move as swiftly as possible to e-only, there is a series of drawbacks and problems which need to be addressed. This paper uses the three headings of Space, Costs and Availability to explore and discuss these issues. Even though there are many advantages in moving to e-only, there are also many disadvantages which make it more difficult to promote and can lead to serious …
