Authority Control in Organizing and Accessing Information
International authority control will soon be a reality. Examine the projects that are moving the information science professions in that direction today! In Authority Control in Organizing and Accessing Information: Definition and International Experience, international experts examine the state of the art and explore new theoretical perspectives. This essential resource, which has its origins in the International Conference on Authority Control (Italy, 2003), addresses standards, exchange formats, and metadata—with sections on authority control for names, works, and subjects. Twenty fascinating case examples show how authority control is practiced at institutions in various nations around...
Multimedia for Cultural Heritage
This book constitutes the revised selected papers from the First International Workshop on Multimedia for Cultural Heritage, MM4CH 2011, held in Modena, Italy, on May 3, 2011. The 8 full papers and 9 poster papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. In addition, the book contains a paper resuming the outcome of the discussion session. The workshop aimed on creating a profitable informal working day to discuss hot topics in multimedia, with special application to cultural heritage. The papers of the oral session are divided in topical sections named interaction and analysis and management.
The Small Utopia
"In addition to a text by the curator, the volume contains essays by scholars, theorists and artists that take a historical, critical, philosophical and sociological look at the theme of multiplication in art through a variety of languages and media: magazines, books, radio, film, design, fashion, performance and editions of artists' originals and multiples, over a period that stretches from the historical Avant-Garde to the 1970s"--Page [11].

Writing about Lives in Science
Following discussions on scientific biography carried out over the past few decades, this book proposes a kaleidoscopic survey of the uses of biography as a tool to understand science and its context. The authors belong to a variety of academic and professional fields, including the history of science, anthropology, literary studies, and science journalism. The period covered spans from 1732, when Laura Bassi was the first woman to get a tenured professorship of physics, to 2009, when Elizabeth H. Blackburn and Carol W. Greider were the first women's team to have won a Nobel Prize in science.
Anni di rivolta
Nel luglio del 1970 viene affisso sui muri di Roma e Milano il “Manifesto di Rivolta femminile” che convenzionalmente segna la nascita del movimento femminista italiano. A oltre cinquant’anni da allora, nuove forme di attivismo a livello globale stanno contribuendo a ridefinire genealogie, alleanze e pratiche politiche, e a interrogare con quesiti nuovi la storia dei femminismi. Le ricerche presentate nel volume – basate sul caso italiano – ricostruiscono percorsi ed eventi di un lungo ventennio femminista, gli anni Settanta e Ottanta, mettendo al centro esperienze finora considerate liminali o periferiche. L’analisi e l’incrocio di fonti eterogenee compone un originale sguardo d’insieme che, raccogliendo l’eredità dei precedenti studi, apre nuove piste di ricerca e offre al tempo stesso spunti preziosi per comprendere il presente.
La Prima guerra mondiale
Il Complesso del Vittoriano, che ha visto negli anni passati lo svolgimento delle prime iniziative in occasione del centocinquantenario dell’Unità d’Italia, ha oggi il privilegio di ospitare il primo atto delle celebrazioni ufficiali legate al centenario della Grande Guerra. Per la costruzione della mostra “La Prima guerra mondiale. 1914-1918. Materiali e Fonti”, alla luce dell’importanza storica, sociale e culturale dell’evento, è stato ritenuto fondamentale avvalersi della partecipazione attiva delle istituzioni di riferimento che con la loro professionalità e grazie ai materiali che custodiscono possono raccontare al meglio l’importanza del primo conflitto mondiale, un mo...
Western Ways
In Western Ways, for the first time, the "foreign schools" in Rome and Athens, institutions dealing primarily with classical archaeology and art history, are discussed in historical terms as vehicles and figureheads of national scholarship. By emphasising the agency and role of individuals in relation to structures and tradition, the book shows how much may be gained by examining science and politics as two sides of the same coin. It sheds light on the scholarly organisation of foreign schools, and through them, on the organisation of classical archaeology and classical studies around the Mediterranean. With its breadth and depth of archival resources, Western Ways offers new perspectives on funding, national prestige and international collaboration in the world of scholarship, and places the foreign schools in a framework of nineteenth and twentieth century Italian and Greek history.
