Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries
ECDL2000, the Fourth European Conference on Research and Advanced Te- nology for Digital Libraries, is being held this year in Lisbon, Portugal, following previous events in Pisa (1997), Heraklion (1998), and Paris (1999). One major goal of the ECDL conference series has been to draw information professionals, stakeholders, and user communities from both the research world and from - dustry into a discussion of the alternative technologies, policies, and scenarios for global digital libraries. The success of previous conferences makes them a hard act to follow. The eld of digital libraries draws on a truly diverse set of scienti c and technical disciplines. In the past three years, moreover,...
Transnational French Studies
The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities – both material and non-material – that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world by focussing on four key practices which constitut...
L’accès à l’information en ligne : moteurs, dispositifs et médiations
L'accès à l'information a toujours nécessité des médiations. Avec le numérique et l'internet, certaines sont devenues invisibles, d'autres se transforment et de nouvelles émergent. Le développement des moteurs commerciaux implique une banalisation des pratiques de recherche en ligne. Cet ouvrage analyse l'évolution des recherches scientifiques sur l'accès à l'information et les dispositifs associés. En se focalisant sur le fonctionnement des moteurs de recherche commerciaux, il attire l'attention sur un aspect souvent oublié : la dimension médiatique de ces dispositifs. L'accès à l'information en ligne appelle à un changement de paradigme pour mettre l'agir informationnel et les socialités associées au coeur des réflexions.
Utopies contemporaines en information-documentation
Force est de constater que le XXe siècle et le début du XXIe sont, dans le milieu de la documentation, caractérisés par l’essor des techniques de l’information. Cela a une incidence majeure sur la circulation et la diffusion des savoirs, la posture et les missions des professionnels de l’information documentaire, ainsi que la capacité de réception des usagers et plus largement des citoyens. Utopies contemporaines en information-documentation analyse, à travers les discours d’intellectuels, la manière dont les conceptions mais aussi les gestes documentaires sont nourris d’utopies qui contribuent à inscrire de façon à la fois pragmatique et politique les objets info-documentaires. Travailler sur les utopies, et sur les textes à visée utopique et projective, revient à énoncer une critique de notre temps et de l’époque privilégiée ; critique absolument nécessaire pour saisir les logiques sociales et professionnelles à l’oeuvre, et anticiper l’avenir du secteur de la documentation.
Mediation
Mediation is a very old practice that has been reborn to meet the needs of the contemporary world. It is thus increasingly present in today's societies. This book presents the theoretical foundations of mediation, as well as the way in which teachers and researchers in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS) have taken up this concept. Whether it is communicational, informational, cultural, organizational or societal, mediation belongs to a field of research, instituted by ICS, which sees in it a process of overcoming conflict, restoring communication and deconstructing social connections. Mediation: A Concept for Information and Communication Sciences inaugurates this set through its contribution to a state of the art of the theory and concepts used by the ICS community. It is addressed to teachers, researchers and students, as well as information professionals wishing to think about their daily practice.
EVALUAREA INFORMAȚIILOR DIN MEDIUL ONLINE: NU CREDE ȘI CERCETEAZĂ
“Lucrarea de față încearcă să ofere un ghid de informare corectă în mediul online. Într-o vreme în care omenirea este bulversată de volumul și impactul dezinformărilor instrumentate cu ajutorul unor tehnologii aflate la îndemâna oricui, este imperios ca utilizatorii internetului să-și dezvolte capacitatea individuală de evaluare a informațiilor pe care le accesează în acest mediu și să învețe cum să folosească mijloacele de comunicare digitală într-un mod benefic atât pentru ei înșiși cât și pentru cei cu care interacționează online. Educația media și informațională trebuie să devină un obiectiv strategic al politicilor educaționale dacă ne dorim să trăim într-o societate funcțională, populată cu semeni capabili să facă distincția între adevăr și fals, între fapte și opinii, între realitate și „fapte alternative”. Cartea abordează problematica evaluării informațiilor dintr-o perspectivă atât teoretică, cât și practică, propunând instrumente și metode de evaluare care pot fi folosite de orice utilizator al mediului online”. Robert Coravu
The Dispositif
The notion of the dispositif (dispositive) is particularly relevant for understanding phenomena where one can observe the reproducibility of distributed technical activities, operational or discursive, between human and non-human actors. This book reviews the concept of the dispositive through various disciplinary perspectives, analyzing in turn its technical, organizational and discursive dimensions. The relations of power and visibility enrich these discussions. Regarding information and communication sciences, three main uses of this concept are presented, on the one hand to illustrate the heuristic scope of issues integrating the dispositive and, on the other hand, to demonstrate its unifying aspect in this disciplinary field. The first use concerns the complexity of media content production; the second relates to activity traces using the concept of the “secondary information dispositive”; finally, the third involves the use of the dispositive in contexts of digital participation.
Multimedia Database Systems
Multimedia Database Systems: Design and Implementation Strategies is a compendium of the state-of-the-art research and development work pertaining to the problems and issues in the design and development of multimedia database systems. The chapters in the book are developed from presentations given at previous meetings of the International Workshop on Multi-Media Data Base Management Systems (IW-MMDBMS), and address the following issues: development of adequate multimedia database models, design of multimedia database query and retrieval languages, design of indexing and organization techniques, development of efficient and reliable storage models, development of efficient and dependable retrieval and delivery strategies, and development of flexible, adaptive, and reliable presentation techniques.
Mapping Ideology in Discourse Studies
Discourse and ideology are quintessential, albeit contested concepts in many functionally oriented branches of linguistics, such as linguistic anthropology, critical discourse studies, sociolinguistics, and sociology of language. With many ways of understanding and utilizing the concepts, the line between discourse and ideology can become blurry. This volume explores divergent ways in which the concept of ideology may be applied in different branches of sociolinguistics and the sociology of language, critical discourse studies, and applied linguistics. The goal is to provide an overview of the ways in which these two concepts can be used separately or together, emphasizing one or the other d...
