Information Access Post September 11: What Librarians Need To Know, Laura Taddeo

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The tragedy of September 11, 2001 has forced both the American people and the government to reevaluate how information is collected and disseminated. Part of the White House's response to September 11 includes protecting "sensitive information from inappropriate disclosure," and encouraging federal agencies to review whether certain information, formerly readily accessible, should be removed from the American public’s view. The ability to control the way information is made available to the public has changed, especially during the Digital Age. The Internet, like the radio during World War II, is one of the most powerful tools used to relay information to …

Toward A Critical Ethnography Of Librarian-Supported Collaborative Learning, Terrence W. Epperson

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The emerging multidisciplinary field of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has the potential to address several theoretical, political, and praxis issues within academic librarianship. Librarians are uniquely situated to contribute to the ongoing development of CSCL, and the library is an ideal “place” for the development, implementation, and evaluation of collaborative learning strategies and systems. The author presents three pressing, interrelated challenges within library and information science (LIS) and discusses how CSCL analyzes the social production of knowledge, emphasizing the distinction between cooperative and collaborative learning. Issues of shared concern between LIS and CSCL can best be addressed through ethnographic analysis …

Web-Based Reference Projects: An Approach For Iranian Lis Departments, Dariush Alimohammadi

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Reference courses are provided in LIS schools in Iran. Different instructional methods are applied and various approaches are adopted. Some of them focus on introducing reference sources. In this method, students learn that a given reference source can satisfy a user's information needs. Others pay attention to the production of reference tools by using print media. This article proposes the development of web-based reference tools.

From Library To Knowledge Center: Building A Website To Introduce A New Building To The Community, Araby Greene

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

When announced in March 2004, the biggest gift in the University of Nevada 's history was in support of a new library building, to be called “The Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center.” The decision to call the new facility a “Knowledge Center” deliberately calls attention to the expanded role of the institution. This article describes the design and development of a website to tell users about the role and progress of the Knowledge Center, allay fears about books disappearing forever into the great maw of the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), encourage feedback, and create some excitement about a beautiful new …

A Proposal To Revise The Sec Instructions For Reporting Waivers Of Corporate Codes Of Ethics For Conflicts Of Interest, Madoka Mori

ExpressO

Enron’s collapse focused attention on the application of that company’s Code of Ethics to related-party transactions. That focus produced Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which intends to regulate conflicts of interest between officers and their companies through codes of ethics that public companies adopt. Pursuant to SOX Section 406(a), the Securities Exchange Commission issued new regulations requiring each public company to disclose whether it has a code of ethics, and if a company has not adopted such a code, to explain why it has chosen not to do so. SEC rules also require each company that has …

An Auditory Classifier Employing A Wavelet Neural Network Implemented In A Digital Design, Jonathan Hughes

Theses

This thesis addresses the problem of classifying audio as either voice or music. The goal was to solve this problem by means of digital logic circuit, capable of performing the classification in real time. Since digital audio is essentially a discrete non-periodic timeseries, it was necessary to extract features from the audio which are suitable for classification. The discrete wavelet transform combined with a feature extraction method was found to produce such features. The task of classifying these features was found to be best performed by an artificial neural network. Collectively known as a wavelet neural network, the digital logic …

互文性与翻译, Xuanmin Luo

Lingnan Theses

互文性理论源于二十世纪六十年代，由法国文论家克里斯蒂瓦提出。根据这一理论，任何文本的生成都不是孤立封闭的，都与其它文本发生联系并产生 文本互涉。这一理论从根本上动摇了过去那种认为文本是独立自足的观点，揭开了文本研究的新篇章。近年来，国内有学者将互文性理论运用于中国文学批评和翻译研究，但这些讨论缺乏理论的深度和系统性。

本论文试图运用互文性理论建立一条互文性翻译研究的途经，以此指导翻译理论和实践。全文共分八章。第一章为导论，讨论了中国翻译界的互文性研究状况。第二章对西方不同流派的互文性理论进行了梳理；第三章上承孔孟、 陆机、刘勰，乃至王国维、钱钟书等，从中国的话语实践勾勒中国互文思想的 演变，补充了国人在该方面研究的不足。第四章探讨互文性的基本概念，以及这基本概念运用于翻译研究的可行性。第五、六章讨论显性互文性和成构互文性。前者指语篇的表层特征，手法有引用、模仿、糅杂、戏拟等；后者指过去 和现在的体裁、规范、类型甚至主题在阅读的文本中发生的相互指涉关系。在上述研究的基础上，第七章提出了互文性翻译的三个准则：关联准则、经济准则、中和准则。如果源语和目标语不能产生互文的关联，译文意图就会扭曲、 信度会大打折扣；互文性所携带的文化内涵决定了译文必须以简代繁、以约代冗，这样读者方可从阅读中感受文本的魅力；在众多的互文指涉中，译者通过认知分析来获取互文翻译的中和效果十分必要。第八章讨论了翻译的主体间性问题，通过大量英汉翻译实例分析来证明，能否做到语境化重构、达到互文的视阈融合、创造等效的互文特征是翻译成败的关键。

本文是第一部以汉语讨论互文性与翻译的博士论文，在英汉语翻译语料分析的基础上提出了互文性的基本理论和翻译实践的原则，希望对文学批评、语言研究、文化研究、翻译研究发挥积极的推动作用。

Analysis Of Layered Social Networks, Jonathan T. Hamill

Theses and Dissertations

Prevention of near-term terrorist attacks requires an understanding of current terrorist organizations to include their composition, the actors involved, and how they operate to achieve their objectives. To aid this understanding, operations research, sociological, and behavioral theory relevant to the study of social networks are applied, thereby providing theoretical foundations for new methodologies to analyze non-cooperative organizations, defined as those trying to hide their structure or are unwilling to provide information regarding their operations. Techniques applying information regarding multiple dimensions of interpersonal relationships, inferring from them the strengths of interpersonal ties, are explored. A layered network construct is offered that …

Theatre And The Rwandan Genocide, Marie-Chantal Kalisa

French Language and Literature Papers

In 1994, Rwanda was the scene of genocide, or more precisely in French, “le théâtre du génocide” (theatre of genocide). Perpetrators and victims played their role while the rest of the world watched the “spectacle” live on television. Perhaps because of its spectacular aspect, the Rwandan genocide has inspired a number of artistic materials. In the last decade, we have indeed witnessed the growth of literary and artistic expression in relation to the Rwandan genocide. Survivors and witnesses have told their stories in books and songs. Journalists, as well as other travelers “to the end of Rwanda,” to use Véronique …
