Pervasive Location Tracking: A Privacy Protection Perspective, Harlan Onsrud Mar 2009

Pervasive Location Tracking: A Privacy Protection Perspective, Harlan Onsrud

Harlan J Onsrud

A laudable goal of ubiquitous computing is to enhance our day-to-day living by invisibly embedding sensors and computing platforms in our stationary and mobile surroundings. Sensors being developed and deployed within distributed computing networks include those able to see (ranging from automated detection of light to identification of specific individuals and objects), hear (detection of specific sounds to transcribing language), smell (detection of specific gases), feel (detection of specific motions, temperature, humidity, etc) and communicate. Sensors in and on our bodies will communicate through our phones, cars, offices, homes, transportation infrastructure, and with objects along our travel paths. Numerous visions …

Undergraduate Programs In Information Science: A Survey Of Requirements And Goals, Colin Koteles, Caroline Haythornthwaite

Colin Koteles

As educators and administrators consider establishing their own information studies (IS) programs, many are asking what is an IS program, and how do your create one? We surveyed online information related to existing undergraduate IS programs in the United States and Canada. Using quantitative and qualitative data about these …

Creative Commons Licensing And Non-Creative Geographic Data, Harlan Onsrud Jan 2009

Creative Commons Licensing And Non-Creative Geographic Data, Harlan Onsrud

Harlan J Onsrud

Why does the scientific community need a simple method for letting each of us know that we are allowed legally to build on the work and data products of each other without asking permission? Does merely following the traditional practices of science and giving credit now make me a lawbreaker? What's the problem, how did we get here and what's the solution? Why does the solution for creative works not apply to geographic and other utilitarian data and databases? This presentation addresses these questions and approaches for arriving at solutions.

Milwaukee Mayors (Digital Collection), Rose Fortier Dec 2008

Milwaukee Mayors (Digital Collection), Rose Fortier

Rose Fortier

The Milwaukee Mayors digital collection is an adaptation of a volume of images and information collected by Library staff to form the Biographical Sketches of the Mayors of the City of Milwaukee. Created more than 40 years ago, it has been updated with images of recent mayors. In addition to the images and information from Biographical Sketches, other photos were selected from the Historic Portrait Collection (a part of the Historic Photo Archives) in the Humanities Department. In the case of some mayors, there were far too many photos to be digitized for this collection, so a variety was selected …

Weighted Voting Models For The Hathitrust Constitutional Convention, Julia Lovett

Julia Lovett

In March 2011, the HathiTrust Digital Library partner institutions will meet for a Constitutional Convention (CC). At this meeting, the partners will either develop a new governance model for HathiTrust or articulate a set of questions to frame a post‐Convention discussion of a new governance model. Questions might include: What should the governing boards be, and how should they be constituted? Which institutions should have representative power, and how many representatives should there be per institution? Should HathiTrust have a new host institution and, if so, what criteria should be used to select a new host institution? These decisions will …
