The Literary Archaeologies Of Théophile Gautier, Sasha Colby
The Literary Archaeologies Of Théophile Gautier, Sasha Colby
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article, "The Literary Archaeologies of Théophile Gautier," Sasha Colby considers the relationship between archaeology as an emerging nineteenth-century discipline and the history of modern poetics. By explicating Gautier's fiction and poetry within an archaeological context, Colby suggests the ways in which archaeology became not only an intriguing subject for late romantics and early modernists but also the ways in which archaeology conditioned an excavational mode of fictional and poetic practice. Incorporating history, Egyptology, psychology, and literary theory, Colby explores the impact of the archaeological enterprise on the nineteenth-century imagination through the work of one of its most influential …
Interculturalism And New Russians In Berlin, Giacomo Bottà
Interculturalism And New Russians In Berlin, Giacomo Bottà
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper, "Interculturalism and New Russians in Berlin" Giacomo Bottá discusses aspects of the community of Russian artists in contemporary (post-1989) Berlin. The Berlin-based Russendisko night has been held in Tel Aviv, Milan, or Frankfurt, where enthusiastic people danced to songs of obscure Russian bands. In 2004, a new CD compilation, Russensoul, was published and in 2005 Karaoke, the ninth novel by Russion-born and Berlin-based author Wladimir Kaminer appeared in book stores. Russian culture is experiencing global success curiously tied to Berlin. How could the German capital have channelled this interest? Is there a particular historical, social, geographical, or …
Nabokov And World Literature, Charles Stanley Ross
Nabokov And World Literature, Charles Stanley Ross
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper "Nabokov and World Literature" Charles Stanley Ross thinks through the relationship between comparative literature and cultural studies by considering the absence of Nabokov's work in The Norton Anthology of World Literature. The problem seems to be that Nabokov's works are not susceptible to the kind of varying interpretations favored by the Norton's editors, although in practice, Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran, for example, shows that even Nabokov's tightly controlled fiction can generate diverse responses. The more complex modes of reading that form the basis of David Damrosch's What is World Literature? are used to interrogate just …
Literary Emergence As A Case Study Of Theory In Comparative Literature, César Domínguez
Literary Emergence As A Case Study Of Theory In Comparative Literature, César Domínguez
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper, "Literary Emergence as a Case Study of Theory in Comparative Literature," César Domínguez constructs an interdisciplinary theoretical model which sheds new light on literary emergence, a phenomenon that defies literary, artistic, and cultural boundaries. Domínguez opens his discussion with a synthesis regarding the state of the question, paying particular attention to the contradictions provoked when an inventory of emerging literatures is attempted and goes on to develop a theoretical framework in which the dynamic processes which define emerging literature are seen relative to world literature. He understands world literature as a mega-system in which emergence finds itself …
A Comparative Analysis Of Website Expressions Of National Culture And Mediation, Paule Salerno-O'Shea
A Comparative Analysis Of Website Expressions Of National Culture And Mediation, Paule Salerno-O'Shea
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper, "A Comparative Analysis of Website Expressions of National Culture and Mediation," Paule Salerno-O'Shea identifies what the official websites of the National Ombudsman in Ireland and France reveal about mediation in those national cultures. The way both national mediators are portrayed indicates how mediation is represented at the national level: 1) these institutions were created by acts emanating from national representative assemblies; 2) the ombudspersons are nominated by representatives of the nation (in Ireland, the appointment is made by the president upon resolution passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas [Parliament] and in France by a presidential decree …

Cultivating Intelligence: Ecole Polytechnique De Montreal's New Library., Richard Dumont
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
More than just a book repository, the new library at École Polytechnique de Montréal can be better described as a hotbed of intellectual activity. The library was specifically designed to foster learning, encourage research, facilitate collaboration and stimulate new ideas through its combination of technology, information, science and culture. From spatial planning to equipment to furnishings, everything was designed around the idea of an “intellectual forum.” This article presents the process by which the idea became reality.

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The process of teaching and learning on post-graduate courses should cover the ability to stimulate the academic environment through research and investigation, encouraging teachers and students to take a constructive attitude that challenges academic-scientific productivity. For scientific ability and the maturity of built knowledge to take place, the incentive to undertake research is fundamental, as is the corresponding mastery of electronic instrumentation and technologies. In this sense, the Library Service of the São Carlos School of Engineering of São Paulo University, in partnership with the Department of Mechanical Engineering has offered formal and specific training since 1995, within the User …

Producing eBooks is a complex task. Although they follow the well know book metaphor, Adobe Acrobat (1) eBooks may also include audiovisual media, hyperlinking structures, other interactive content and information layers. The process of production goes through an iterative cycle, where content authors team with designers, programmers, media producers and information architects. Its then crucial to optimize this process using software tools to help structuring the content, faciliting groupworking and metadata annotation. In this paper, we propose a new tool aiming the easy description of the relationships amongst different pieces of content and the fast prototyping of the navigation schema …

Fostering Information Fluency: Two Student Centred Initiatives., Erika C. Linke
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Two initiatives have been undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University, one to address issues of accountability relative to information literacy and the other to learn more about graduate students’ information gathering behavior. In response to changing accreditation requirements, new evidence for student learning is being required. Thus a program to concentrate on the information literacy skills of undergraduates, particularly in major fields of study, has been started. The other initiative focuses on understanding the current information gathering behaviors of graduate students. Outcomes from this study are being incorporated into services directed at graduate students. Questions about how to address these needs …

The Politics Of Embedding: Library As A Partner Not Support Service., Peter Stubley
The Politics Of Embedding: Library As A Partner Not Support Service., Peter Stubley
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The Library that considers itself to have the best services in the world may still find itself under-appreciated or – worse still – isolated, unless it delivers those services to its customers in a pro-active manner. Moreover, unless it actively engages with the strategic directions of both the over-arching institution and its individual units – the University and its academic Departments – it risks being ignored and marginalised from the core business of the institution. For too long libraries have, with a degree of modesty and satisfaction, considered themselves as ‘support services’ but now is the time to launch ourselves …

Monetizing Usage Of Scholarly Collections With Patent Citation Analysis., Paul Canning
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Based on a series of independent studies conducted by Dr. Anthony Breitzman of 1790 Analytics, IEEE has learned that granted patents cite scientific and the technical literature found in journal articles, conference papers and industry standards. This paper outlines the findings of three studies conducted by 1790 Analytics and discusses the implications for library professionals and members of the scientific and scholarly community. Patent citation analysis is a viable metric to quantify both usage and value of access to scholarly materials at universities, corporations and government research centres.

Embedding Research And Learning In Libraries., William R. Maes
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The theme of this conference is “Embedding Libraries in Research and Learning.” While this is critical within the context of the new technologies and new service expectations of scholars and students it is also important that research and learning remain embedded in libraries if they are to be an integral part of the scholarly fabric of our institutions. With continuing economic pressures on scholarly institutions and the desire to use the new technologies to change established and expensive processes and facilities, the threat to the physical academic library has perhaps never been greater This paper discusses why the physical library …

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The Consortium CRUESP/Libraries formed by the three São Paulo State Universities Library System, USP, UNESP, and UNICAMP, seeks to offer specialized services and products to the academic community. With the expanding of the available information sources to the Universities, researchers need to visit various sites from diverse information providers, possessing different access interfaces. This demands time for the user to know these interfaces, which are not always user-friendly, and utilize the same search terms numerous times. With the technological advance it has become evident the possibility of the creation of a unified search interface, using the international communication protocols such …
