Functional Analysis And The Reappraisal Of Faculty Papers, Gregory Schmidt, Michael Law Jan 2009

Functional Analysis And The Reappraisal Of Faculty Papers, Gregory Schmidt, Michael Law

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Many repositories at American colleges and universities hold the official records of their institutions as well as the personal papers of individuals. Archivists appraise these different materials—institutional records and personal papers—using separate theoretical perspectives. They tend to bring a records-management view of evidential value to the appraisal of institutional records and a curator’s eye for informational and intrinsic values to personal manuscripts. There is one collecting category common to university repositories, however, that requires a hybrid approach. Falling between the two broad categories of university records and personal manuscripts are the papers of university faculty members. Studies of the holdings …

Get More Out Of Google Than It Gets Out Of You, Maureen Cahill

Presentations

The key to effectively using the Internet as a resource is first to know when to use it at all; and, only then, how to use it. The same may be said for Google, or any search engine. First, master the intricacies of when to use it; then, work on details of how to make it work well.


Know Your Source : Assessing Credibility Online, Suzanne R. Graham Jan 2009

Know Your Source : Assessing Credibility Online, Suzanne R. Graham

Presentations

Credibility is the amount of trust that a resource, an argument, a piece of advice or a Web page engenders. It is the composite of the quality of research or observation and the reasoning or interpretation of the writer or speaker. The system that I will share incorporates and distills these criteria and helps to frame the critical thought process when encountering a new site without any obvious redeeming credentials. Since this is tax time of year, this system is named the I.R.S. audit: Identification, Reputation, and Sources.

Socio-Technical Processes In Interorganizational Emergency Response And Recovery Process At The World Trade Center, Bahadir Akcam

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

This research explores the socio-technical processes in interorganizational collaboration by extending and elaborating a generic dynamic theory. The existing generic dynamic theory offers dynamic hypotheses about causal relationships between social processes and social accumulations based on a study of interagency information integration initiatives. The current study expands this theory and elaborates upon it using interview dataset from interagency collaboration during the response and recovery process following the World Trade Center (WTC) attack on September 11, 2001. Researchers at the Center for Technology in Government interviewed 29 responders in 2002 and 2003 to explore interagency collaboration in the context of information, …
